Right Vegeta? Vegeta? Vegeta? Vegeta? Vegeta? Right? Vegeta?
I kinda hope they won't go with the beeline for the obvious, because I'm kind of getting sick of seeing Nappa in almost every episode.

We haven't seen him since Episode 25.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, though. I think it'd be enough to just have the end of the episode fade to black, and we hear, "Hey Vegeta." And then Vegeta screams.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet - epic call-back to episode 3 (from Vegeta, no less).

Yeah, I noticed that the second time through.

Also, I fully expect to see a flashing "EPIC FORESHADOWING" on the screen when Goku tells Kuririn that his screams about Bulma made him think Freeza had returned.

Thank you for not making an "arrow to the knee" joke with Piccolo.

Best episode yet! I love it! Nothing to critique!

Great job Kaizer and friends. Man, I am so glad Dende is dead though :lol:

By the way, what was the callback?

What was the episode 3 callback, exactly?
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

My friend told me that that last panel is something from a webcomic, I'm still not too sure which.
Also, the Kanassans just cracked me up, I've watched it twice and couldn't understand them until you guys pointed it out. Beautiful!

I think that's accurate. Kaiser posted a panel from something that had two characters with the same expression and the same dialog, and asked someone to draw the two characters as Dende and Gohan.

I can't believe no-one's pointed out the intentional or unintentional reference to the Nigerian 419 scam. Or maybe it's just me. When I heard "Planet Freeza 419", I immediately thought of that.

Just thought I'd run this past people here, as this is easily the place with the most investment in it...

Mr. Satan will be, in our show, referred to as Mr. Satan. However, Satan WILL be his last name, with his first name being Mark. His "Stage" name is Hercule. So, Mark "Hercule" Satan. This way, we get to touch on both the dub and the original.

That's the best way to do it, IMO.

I knew that you were going to do that. Anyways, that's how I feel that the Hercule would be used anyways.

I guess I'll ask the question, but is it really necessary to use 'Hercule'? There won't be some sort of revolt if it's not mentioned and the dub fans are hardly treated as cast-offs to the series as it is.

Well, it's possible that it could be done away with altogether by that time, but we do like to touch on the dub as well. It made a huge impact on American DBZ culture.

Agreed. There's more "meat" to work with from doing it that way.

I find myself looking forward to new Abridged episodes as much, if not more, than actual TV shows I watch. It's crazy just how fun it is. I can't wait to see the lulz that come from the Garlic Jr. BS. :lol:

Seems like the best choice. My only problem is that it might cause some confusion (considering there are a number of people who probably believe that's how his name actually works).
