I was thinking the exact same thing! If that would've happen I would have died from laughter. Still, it was a great episode. I love Goku's lines at the end, he had me smiling from ear to ear.

That would be stealing a joke already done in another video, unfortunately. Trust me, we would have HAPPILY done it... if it were an original idea.

"Need a rez/res!" It's a term often used in MMORPGs. It's basically, "Need a resurrection!" for when a team mate has fallen.

NOW YOU KNOW
AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE
G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOE!

Anyway, great episode and thanks for that, I couldn't really understand what any of them said :x
I love how Goku simply doesn't give a crap about Freeza that much.

Ah, thank you. I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure.

I wouldn't have really cared, personally, and I don't know if anyone else would have really cared either.To me, sometimes originality should take a brief trip to the backseat for the greater good. I love your work on the series, but sometimes it feels like there are some really good opportunities that are missed just because you don't want want to do something that's already been tapped.

Goku accidentally killing Vegeta could have been the whole reason Vegeta was dead set on being the one to kill Kakarotto for the rest of the series (his reason in the actual series seems to get murky after a while), making for some potentially great banter between the two... JSAT Abridged special with Vegeta eating Goku's food as a last ditch effort to finally get revenge for killing him, anyone? lol

Goku's singing (oh man, the amazing coincidence with the "Row your boat" song) , pretty much everything Vegeta does in this episode, along with the way Freeza inner-monologues were my favorite stuff from this episode.


Also, I love how you're dealing with Yamcha's voicelessness by cutting away right as he starts to speak, very creative. X3

Is it just me or does Goku and Gohan's relationship get more heartbreaking every episode? :P

To be honest I'm tired of the "Goku is a horrible father" jokes.

Which video? :D
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

If they overdo it then it may stop being funny, but I thought this one worked well. Goku's never really outright horrible to him... he's just distant and ambivalent towards him.

I'm curious to see how it's handled when Goku is telling Gohan to get out of there when he transforms.

Just type "Goku kills Vegeta" into youtube's search engine and you'll get a couple versions of the same thing.

It's more the previous jokes that annoy me more so than this one, but this is just another reminder of it. :?

It hasn't even been existent for that long. I think they've only done it, like, three times.

The "Goku is a terrible dad" jokes only get worse. Because let's face it: He is kind of a terrible dad, and we're flanderizing that. Because it's fun and relevant!

His SSJ2 transformation is going to make so much more sense now, considering #16's only purpose in life.

I would die laughing if Gohan became SSJ2 because of Goku being a shit parent!

I love these jokes. You guys play it off really well.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

I desperately hope Gohan ends up like Rusty Venture by the Boo arc.

Yeah, but you think you can ease up on that. At least show some positive resolution between Goku and Gohan. Or least show that Goku at least cares.
