I wouldn't necessarily say just like Eric Vale, but it's certainly sounding like an excellent take on the character.

But yeah, great editing job, and Vegeta adapting to life on Earth was great.

I think my favorite part was the malfunctioning Mecha-Freeza. :lol: I mean, everything else was great too, but I already expected more owning of Yamcha and Krillin, but Mecha-Freeza was completely unexpected.

You know, I think I'm really going to enjoy this stuff, because this (well, from Goku's transformation to Super Saiyan through this material) is the first stuff that I really got into. So seeing it parodies is going to be glorious.

I'd forgotten how much I missed this these.
I really missed them. This episode had such wonderful timing; everything just flowed amazingly smooth. Vegeta's interactions with everyone, Yamcha and Kuririn especially. Also Mecha-Freeza malfunctioning cracked me up. X3 That was great.

I loved the new episode but a lot of the humor for me was over shadowed by the anticipation of the Trunks reveal. After a second viewing I appreciated the first halves' humor much more.

I really, really, really can't wait until the next episode!!! This one felt way too short but I guess that's the sign of a good show!

I'm just so excited for the Celll Saga!!

It's so great to see Teamfourstar reach this far with the series! Frieza's stuttering was hilarious! Dang, the episode always ends when you want more!!

Oh man, that was great.

Vegeta eating the soap, Mecha Freeza malfunctioning, poor Yamcha and Kuririn getting tossed aside by Vegeta. Hahaha more more more!

Trunks sounds really neat, kind of like Eric Vale, but not *exactly*.

Also "I'm back, bitches!" :mrgreen:

Pretty hilarious, especially when Krillin was talking to Gohan, and the back of Vegeta's shirt. Yamcha reminds me of Ken Rosenberg from GTA now.

Great, great work guys. The new opening shows a lot of care and planning done to it. The whole episode has an excellent flow and editing work. Very good light humour too. I find it amazing that you've been managing to top yourselves up in the last few episodes.

I enjoyed the Namek Arc but it was a bit weak compared to your earlier work, but your earlier work lacked the level of commitment done in the later episodes. Now in the previous and this episode you managed to capture both feels and you are back on business better than ever before.

In sum, I have to fully and sincerely congratulate you, not only for the Dragon Ball parody but as a full entertainment piece. I feel that you've finally managed to extend beyond the franchise and can stand on your own, if you understand what I mean.

I'M BACK, BITCHES!
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!

I wonder why they use the Yamamoto score instead of Kikuchi's. Anyway, it IS now safer to use copyright-wise because Toei can't sue TFS for using a score which itself infringes on others' copyrights. :lol:

Is this ACTUALLY a thing? How safe copyright-wise are those tracks?

It was awesome. Yamcha meeting Vegeta after his arrival on Earth was the best for me. :lol:
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.

The Yamcha bashing was fucking tiresome.

How are they going to keep wanking vegeta when he starts being a hindrance in the Cell Arc...

They won't probably. Hell, in this episode he was getting almost the same amount if crap Yamucha was getting.

It's more like Vegeta's doing it himself (giggity). If anything, he'll probably keep doing it up until he has his breakdown against Cell... same as with Freeza.

To be fair, we're only, ahem, "wanking" Vegeta as much as Vegeta's character calls for it. The man's overly confident, snarky, but ultimately insecure. Trust me, he's in for the breakdown of his life over the next two arcs.

Also, the "Yamcha bashing" is always going to be a point of contention. But the fact is, he's in the perfect place for the abuse. Also, Faulerro sells it incredibly well.

Lol. I wouldn't say you are wanking Vegeta at all. He has quite a few reasons to be overconfident up to this point. When you get to 18 though, thats Vegeta is gonna start losing his shit :lol: .BTW big fan, if you are the real KaiserNeko.

To be fair Yamcha has always been kind of a failure. He always loses early in a Budokai, he gets killed by a Saibaman and never really does anything. Krillin by far is more useful and even then... Don't worry Vegeta is gonna get a rather large smack to the face when TFS gets to 18.
