DragonBall Z Abridged

[DanielSSJ]

I really like how Goku seems to be a source of a lot of the dub's quirks, insisting that the Jinzoningen/Cyborgs/whatever are called "Androids", and proclaiming Gohan as "Teen" Gohan.

[Saiga]

I think him assuming that Cell thought he was Jesus was also a reference to that.

[Rubens]

That's was really good, even the news headlines! And I really lost it when Goku made an impression of Vegeta

[DanielSSJ]

There is one thing that has been bugging me for a while now. I've noticed an increased amount of references to Piccolo's "dad" in this arc. While it isn't technically incorrect, it is somewhat annoying that they seem to treat King Piccolo and Piccolo Jr. as two completely separate characters, what with Piccolo apologizing to Tenshinhan for his dad killing Chiaotzu or how his dad took over the goverment. This bugs me because, while Piccolo is the son of King Piccolo, he's also his reincarnation, and in the series proper, is in many ways treated as being the same character.

-Episode 55-

I like how they pointed out that Vegeta and Piccolo never fought.It's something that still nowadays I have a hard time believing it didn't happen.
That "Teen" Gohan eye-opener line was beautiful, just like the "Frieza" one when FT Trunks appeared and the "Cyborgs 17 and 18 " by Cell.

I would like people paid more attention to this details.
The "Let's make a Goten" part was scary and funny at the same time.

As for the editing it keeps being flawless and only getting better. Their earlier work on Saiyan arc is an insult to the level they are now.

OH GAWD! THIS EPISODE WAS AMAZING!

- I like it that they noted that strangely we never had Piccolo vs. Vegeta in the franchise.

- Popo threatening Vegeta for calling "Black Man" was funny

- So the orange color really does complement Goku stupid face?

- Goku and Cell interaction was gold, but what the f*** with his suddenly attraction with Cell?

- Good soundtrack usage in this episode

- Kinda weird the way how Goku and Chichi made Goten, I think they could use more lines when they're "making out", but I like it


Well done, TFS!

No, it's not. They hadn't experience in that time, it's a classic and it fits perfectly with the progress of the story, in no kinda of way it is an insult, please.

So... Did ChiChi just rape Goku?

So... Did ChiChi just rape Goku?

It's funny when it's a woman doing it (not actual raping but being very forceful). Our society is weird but it's what we've got

[FoolsGil]

So... Did ChiChi just rape Goku?

...Goku threw Chi Chi into low Earth orbit before. If he didn't want it, he could've fought her off, easily.

And she survived.

Okay?

Okay?

Do not underestimate the power of an enraged anime mother who desperatly wants to make a baby

I guess. I mean, if she's such a threat, send her after Cell, rape him or whatever.

[MozillaVulpix]

It definitely wasn't supposed to be rape, but the fact that I've seen people independently see it as that does speak volumes on the scene.

...this always seems to happen when DBZA starts addressing this kind of stuff. And it probably won't be the last time.

I don't really mind, anything can becom funny out of real life concequence (How many times has DBZA done genocide jokes?). I was just asking a half-serious question.

Well, speaking seriously, it wasn't supposed to be rape, just ChiChi being very forceful in her advances.

Goku fights Cell bowlegged. Calling it now.

[MozillaVulpix]

There just has been sort of...controversy? You could say? On that scene? I've seen people who don't really enjoy what they did with it. But I guess this is all subjective. Not every joke is going to hit home.

The issue really boiled down to the fact that it didn't seem like Goku gave consent. Although apparently he did...? I think Kaiser mentioned that they're going to clarify that next episode.

[rereboy]

Humor is always made at the expense of something. Either it's made at the expense of stereotypes, of someone's getting owned, of something that is just ridiculous, of someone's misfortune like when someone falls, etc. If we really want to take it as seriously as possible, we realize that hardly any humor is fair and correct to everyone and everything. The trick is to know how to take a joke even if it touches very serious issues, as long as there's no malice behind the humor of course.

[ShadowBardock89]

Not a reference to AR DBZ, to be clear. Just thought it'd be hilarious for them to be sorta "flirty".

Oh. I thought it was, but thanks for clarifying.
