DragonBall Z Abridged

[Valerius Dover]

I don't even know where this "Teen Gohan" term came from. As we know, it's not a dub term. He's referred to as 11 by the narrator, and is said to have "turned into a teenager" at the beginning of the Buu arc. So, nobody calls him a teenager before that either. So, where does this come from again?

All the surrounding marketing for the series at the time from FUNimation, and specifically the video games.

^Ok, thanks for the answer. That makes me wonder why they came up with that name in the first place. Then again, maybe "Pre-Teen Gohan" wouldn't sell as many action figures.

[TonyTheTiger]

I don't think they put that much thought into it. The video games have a lot of different versions of the same characters so when you have "Kid" Gohan and "Adult" Gohan, they look at the one in the middle and just call him "Teen" Gohan. A few naming schemes in the games have suffered this way. Final Bout had "Super Goku" and "Super Saiyan Goku" to differentiate the GT and Z versions of the character.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I would've preferred they called him that, but Cell Games Gohan would've worked as well.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Exactly. I hate the use of Teen Gohan in the Cell saga. It's factually wrong.

Heh, that's what I thought I remembered your feelings on that being, but just wanted to check to be sure. I don't loathe the use of it to that extent...but there really is no getting around the fact that it's just plain wrong. As Valerius points out, they never call him that in the show, not even the old dub, and even it's altered age for him isn't a 'teen' yet.

Pretty much this. People just take it too serious.

I sense a teen gohan joke in the future from teamfourstar..

Episode 44 up (and happy birthday, Lani!)

It's amazing how they can make Cell funny, and yet still horrifying.

[FortuneSSJ]

Awesome way to introduce the cyborgs real names there.
Can't find a better place. And Krillin comment just nailed it.

[jjgp1112]

Goku's One Piece dream sequence is possibly the greatest thing ever. Just fantastic

"Sorry my dad killed Chiaotzu."

And the entire last two minutes...I don't know what to say. It was probably the hardest I've ever laughed at this show. Just great stuff all-around.

[Chuquita]

Cell seems like they're having a lot of fun writing him. X3
Luffy!Gokû, Naruto!Gokû and Zoro!Piccolo were so surreal.
Lentils. X3

[Jackal puFF]

LOL that dream sequence got me cracking up. Haha and Piccolo's line to Tien about Chiaotzu. Pew Pew sounds, episode was great.

Hehe I like how you guys also inserted the android's names in there. I can just imagine the comments about them on youtube.

[FoolsGil]

Tenshinhan's mega saiyan talk, and reasoning for mocking Vegeta is magnificent, that was a delight.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

This episode just made my day. Keep up the great work TFS.

[coola]

What's made Tien scene more funny, is that in French and Polish anime version, SSJ1 was called Super Warrior, SSJ2 - Hyper Warrior and SSJ3 - Mega Warrior Great episode, loved every moment of it.

[RandomGuy96]

Krillin was probably the funniest character this episode.

"Are you making that up? Because it sounds like you're just making it up."

"Okay, I'm dropping the pretenses, we're aborting Cell."

"Pew pew pew."

And again, Abridged Cell = Cartman is just great in so many ways. Though I didn't like the end of the joke, where Cell just randomly started yelling. I wasn't a fan of the last time Cell suddenly shouting was used as a joke either.

[rereboy]

Amazing ep. The dream sequence was incredible.

[UltimateHammerBro]

I sincerely think that this is one of the funniest episodes in the season so far.
The joke with the origins of 16, 17 and 18, the dream, and the radio part are just awesome.

In portuguese dub too but then they changed it .
