History of Trunks came out long before Movie 13. Toei likely thought it(Tapion giving Trunks his sword, which looks exactly like Future Trunks' sword) would be a cool send up to fans, without completely thinking about the implications...Classic Toei.Gyt Kaliba wrote:Not to mention the ending theme of the movie does start off showing us Future Trunks with the sword, which is pretty random. It's pretty obvious they meant it to at least evoke it being the same sword...even...if it kinda...totally can't be...for like a bajillion reasons...
It's one of the only things I dislike about that movie, cuz holy can of worms.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
I vaguely recall a filler anime scene where Bulma (or was it Gohan) gives Trunks the sword and says that his father wanted him to have it.
Cool stuff that I upload here because Youtube will copyright claim it: https://vimeo.com/user60967147

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
This to tee. This special is so black because robs us of the happier characters and lays all the entirely unintentional fragility of DBZ's entire scenario bare. I don't know how funny you can make a parody riding off a parody that has been inserting threads of these things into the series itself. It only makes it worse!AjayLikesGaming wrote:Honestly, I didn't laugh a whole lot, but considering how dark the source material is, I think you guys probably did the best job you could have done.
I was, however, extremely impressed how you handled some of the more serious scenes. The Super Saiyan transformation was so well acted. Easily better than any currently existing dub efforts.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
I really liked the special. That Tapion joke threw me off though. Made me think haha.
Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
The only issue I have is the cyborgs weren't totally evil. I mean they rid the world of country music, that isn't evil, that is like the greatest gift to humanity ever.
Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
True. But on one hand, Canon Android Saga had the most inconsistencies because of all the time travel stuff. Future Androids were more cruel and weaker, somehow. Present Androids were more neutral and stronger. When Future 17 answered Trunks' reply with "Why not, who's going to stop us?" that was what Present 17 said; Maybe it was decided that the abridged Androids in all timelines are amoral, and the only thing keeping the present from being like the future were people who are strong enough to stop 17 and 18.dario03 wrote:The only issue I have is the cyborgs weren't totally evil.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
To be honest, i don't really believe that canon future cyborgs are weaker, Trunks thinks that, because he didn't know that they only used 50% to fight him, while present cyborgs could go all-out right from the beginning.

Aaaaaaand to wait until Supreme Kai of Time comes in to bitch about what Future Trunks did. Surprised she doesn't take it out on Future Bulma for...you know...building the damn thing. XD
Heh heh, multiverse theory.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Oh yeah, love how they kept Vegeta's rage scream from the Namek Saga in this special. Can't help but wonder who else heard it considering how it reached Future Earth 20 years (was it 20 I forgot) later.
Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Wait, when was Vegeta's scream, towards the end? I must have missed it.

Background noise before SSJ Trunks faces the androids (while talking to Bulma), I believe.Kaboom wrote:Wait, when was Vegeta's scream, towards the end? I must have missed it.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Just my nitpick of an otherwise briliant abridged special, why didn't Trunks say 'Daddy'?BlazingBarrrager wrote:Oh yeah, love how they kept Vegeta's rage scream from the Namek Saga in this special.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
It wouldn't have been as funny the second time around. Plus, Bulma's Freudian slip was funnier.The Monkey King wrote:Just my nitpick of an otherwise briliant abridged special, why didn't Trunks say 'Daddy'?BlazingBarrrager wrote:Oh yeah, love how they kept Vegeta's rage scream from the Namek Saga in this special.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Yes, but the 50% line is only relevant to Gohan's first battle against #17, it was not established to be the case in their final match.coola wrote:True, but it was stated by Bulma, that there was not much of difference in power between Gohan and TrunksdbgtFO wrote:FYI, it's never stated anywhere the androids only used 50% against Trunks.coola wrote:To be honest, i don't really believe that canon future cyborgs are weaker, Trunks thinks that, because he didn't know that they only used 50% to fight him, while present cyborgs could go all-out right from the beginning.
I think that's about it without derailing this thread.
