Nope. I thought it was just a reference to Goku being dumb, but it's also a reference to how Masako's normal accent makes him say words that end in "a."
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Glad they had a frank discussion on the LP and the original content. We were all starved for content, but its like "you know they can do both right, voice their lines and make LPs?"

It was actually TFS that got me into watching LP's. Those Krillin Plays were infectious.

I will tell you this. As someone who does Let's Play content, it's far easier & faster to record gameplay footage on a computer, save it to an external hard drive, edit as needed, then start uploading it to YouTube than it is to watch something, write shit for it, record it, then edit it all together. Especially if you are editing footage around your writings & voice recordings, that shit is HARD & time-consuming. There was a stretch of time where they were doing an episode a month for season 3 with the occasional movie or special &, Jesus Christ, I do not envy Scott having to edit, at the time, 20+ year old DBZ footage for them. So, if they just wanted to screw around in their off time playing games & record or stream tat for YouTube (later Twitch too), then monetize the videos & streams to help pay their bills, there is NO problem with that. A lot of people genuinely think it doesn't take a lot to produce an episode of an Abridged series, but it DOES.

DDBZA Creator Commentary SPECIAL! | MasakoX Talks Episode 30
https://youtu.be/SVXZFs5O3x0

Masako does his own commentary! I was wondering if he was gonna do these too. I think it'd be great if he did more of them.
I'll say, outside of the moments where he's not talking, they should've lowered the audio from the episode a few decibels more than they did. It's hard to hear him a bit.

Watching Martin grow into Freeza was such a treat at the time, he is a rough but decent parallel to the series improving its technical chops and deciding on its tone going forward throughout Namek. His Yu-gi-oh! Abridged is more of a sitcom in which the characters stumble through a plot they regularly forget, impulsively drop pop culture references and act out whatever non-sequitur gag fits his fancy, and generally can't stand each other. And TFS's Saiyan arc mirrors most of that, it made sense to cast the Firestarter himself in the series at the time. But as TFS moved from DBZ as a joke outlet into the coherent spoof dub they ultimately decided upon, Martin rose to the occasion just as well as the rest. The whiplash of a duel on an exploding planet being reduced to a man-child accepting a stuffed crust pizza plea deal and energy discs with inverted controls hits so much stronger after spending an entire story arc with a Freeza with an ego more developed than just wanting "more screentime" or pandas (as Nappa put it). (While "favorite cold Freeza line" is still a topical question, mine is usually "You've never heard of planet Vegeta? I expect my next victim will say the same about Namek.") I am trying to recall how many audible gasps I've had with this show, the muffin button being real the whole time was the first.

Will edit when I get to watch Masako's. Good idea! I hope Taka can eventually sneak one in.

Martin is just an absolute BEAST when playing Freeza.

That smarmy and arrogant smugness is just so good, especially since Martin can pull upon his own hatred of poshness to elevate the character.

Don't know if anyone else here watches Kuro the Artist/The Ink Tank, but Kaiser was teased & announced to be the voice of Danny Phantom in the motion comic version of Kuro's fan Ben 10/Danny Phantom crossover comic 5 Years Later last month when Kuro published his breakdown of the Ben 10/Generator Rex crossover, Heroes United.

Kuro previously referenced DBZA in his breakdown of the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien episode Map of Infinity.

We learned quite a bit in this one, Like Evolution Bulma and Chichi having the absolute worst last names XD, also this is the first part of the mini plot of Korin and Yajirobe's relationship. If there was one thing I was looking forward to when Kaiser was still planning to make OG Dragonball a set of abridged movies, was Korin and Yajirobe's first meeting.

I can see that. I still think Kaiser could make the OG DB stuff into movies, but if he's not, whatever.

Well they stopped working on DBZA because of Toei and other factors, so DB abridged Movies aren't going to happen either - Unless things behind the scenes have changed with using SFM.

Lani says that the last names are from the Evolution video game, but they're also in the novelization. And, unless the game changed Chichi's, Kaiser's slightly misremembering: it's Chichi McRoberts. :lol:

laughed here and there, but overall wasn't feeling this episode. Guess I want to get to the climax of what Kold is planning, which, well if you watched Z filler, you sort of already know.

Freeza here really showing how much being the centre of everything was his whole identity, and his insecurity dealing with that no longer being backed up by anything when everybody is on the same playing field.

but I love TV Openings, and it doesn't happen often, but I love TV Openings that change every season. And it almost never EVER happens, but I love TV Joke Openings where it's only for a few episodes at most, if not just the one. So getting a Garlic Jr TFS Opening hit my sides happily and I ate that up! (Also that one time Yugioh Abridged went with a DBZA styled opening. Love that shit.) So I realized 2/3 in that we weren't getting the abridged arc (TFS' The Walking Zed made me think twice, and then the fact Garlic didn't appear) but still greatly enjoyed this episode. And in the end we did get some semblance of Garlic Jr Abridged after all. Also first time we get to hear Kami, Nail, and Piccolo in one scene. Man that was great.

Also 2nd peek into Korin and Yajirobe's relationship, forgot it's actually peppered in through season 3 and not just the movies. So in a way there is a canon subplot in two different canons of abridged series. unless the DBZA movies are canon to the DBZA series? And they say it here, writing this episode pretty much set up how they write the whole season. So yeah, onward!

Kaiser or Lani, forget who did say it, mentioned with editing they'd probably have Popo no-sell anything Buu did. I personally was looking forward to the ass whooping Goten and Trunks would've gotten upon attacking Popo.
