Dragon Ball Super: Broly Abridged 🐉 

*DRAGON BALL SUPER ABRIDGED: EPISODE 1* RELEASES SUNDAY THE 22ND OF JULY. *I'm here to answer some **_Frequently Asked Questions!_* The response to this project has been fantastic, but some have questions and others have legitimate criticism so... allow me to address them all! * *_Why so long?_* I actually cut a LOT out of the original movie but added in nearly as much. Conversations are all a fair chunk longer since there were a lot of narrative issues I wanted to fix (Bardock being a nice guy, Paragus not showing enough love for his son, Kikono having an actual character arc etc.). This isn't to insult the original movie or to claim I've done better, just that my goal wasn't to be exclusively FUNNY, but instead be ENTERTAINING. I wanted a blend of comedy and actual drama. * *_Why not focus more on comedy?_* Two reasons. I had things I wanted to fix. Like I said before, there were some plot points that kept the original from being a true 10/10 to me, as well as the rather poor 3D fight sequence near the end. I want my work to stand out. TFS, SWE, and many others have a short, snappy editing and narrative style. TFS are probably what I'm closest to, but they still kept things at a fast pace. It was my creative choice! Some will like it, some wont. * *_Is this really an "abridged"?_* Yes. I feel people are confused on this point due to only viewing the word as "The name of that funny series that made Dragon Ball shorter" rather than knowing the dictionary definition of the word. To abridge is to shorten while retaining the heart of the original material, to paraphrase. That's what I did. Some have argued that it's "too close to the original length" to qualify which is... confusing. I could have cut a single second out of the movie, changed nothing else about it, and it would still be an "abridged" version. I made a creative choice to make it closer to the original pace and you're welcome to like that desicion or not! * *_Why does it suck?_* I am WELL aware the project has a plethora of editing issues, sound issues, bad line reads, and a whole host of other problems, especially in the early parts. I've never made anything like this before and I, KAI, was the sole editor. By the time we got to the end, I was looking back at the first 30 minutes in agony knowing I could fix these issues. I had to choose between spending another handful of months working on it (I had already been going for 14 months straight) or releasing it as-is and vowing to do better with Super Abridged. I chose the latter. * *_Why aren't you as good as TFS/Why are you copying them?_* If you hold the first view, I encourage you to go back and watch episode 1 of Dragon Ball Abridged. It had some major quality issues. That wasn't their first project, either, having worked on other abridged series before DBZA. This WAS my first. I think the issue here is I'm being compared to Cell Saga and Buu Bits TFS, who had a decade of experience behind each member of the team and an actual budget. Obviously this comparison is unfair. I want to be as good as them someday, but it will take time and practice. Two things they were afforded. Please afford me the same. There's a common trend I've seen where everyone who starts making abridged content, especially on Dragon Ball, gets assailed with TFS comparisons and complaints. Abridging is a genre and no one entity should have a monopoly on it. Dragon Ball is not a property owned by TFS, so if somebody wanted to they could go and make their own abridged series on DBZ. What do the people who do this hope to gain other than disuading content creators from ever trying? TFS are not making Abridged content anymore so I don't recommend scaring off anyone that might try to fill that void. Instead of looking down on me for what I'm not, try to find the value in what I AM. I am not TFS. I will reference their work, respect their legacy, and find kinship in those that enjoyed their series like I did, but I will never replace them. I want to be something of my own, as do my whole team. We made this because of my love for Dragon Ball, not a want to copy TFS. * *_What's next?_* Dragon Ball Super Abridged. I'm going to give it faster pacing to cover more ground and use everything I've learned here to put out the best damn content I can! The first episode is scripted and covers the first 4 episodes of the anime. I can't please everyone, and some people will dislike my work, but for those of you that want to follow me I give you my deepest thanks. *_If you have any more questions or feedback that aren't answered in this post, please comment them here! I'll try and get back to as much of them as possible!_*

Vegeta saying "You let villains power up and never finish the job" gave me Cell saga flashbacks, and I'm NOT talking about Goku's mistake

"THE FUCK IS *SPANISH!?*" had me dying

Honestly? This was peak. The jokes that got me the most was Frieza explaining the many forms to Paragus in a hilarious twist of irony in comparison to paragus explaining everything since the legend is so old news now. The DOWN MEDIUM DOWN MEDIUM! "Consequences am I right? .... OH NO CONSEQUENCES!" The scene where broly kept trying the same thing over and over, The gogeta various forms gag, and lastly Broly continuing to go through mountains regardless of logic. The writing was fantastic and the voice actors captured the heart of the original while still being their own thing. This was a incredible fantastic watch. I am so happy about how this turned out. Long live the legacy of DBZA!

NGL, the scene with Paragus pleading with Vegeta to let Broly live and screaming for Broly to come back gave me serious chills.

48:12 - "still upset about the Pizzas?" glad to see TFS's canon is still intact...im diggin this "carry the torch" vibe

Beerus: Whats the magic word I tought you? Bulla: Hakai! that was rlly funny

I love the idea of Freeza killing the snipers sheerly from throwing a tantrum after being made fun of for his height. Honestly it sets up perfectly for him wishing to be taller.

Gogeta naming himself Brian was so out of left field I love it.

Right after Brian shows up: Frieza: "HE HAS BEEN PUNCHING ME... FOR AT LEAST... 10 MINUTES...!!!" Vegeta: (inside Brian): "I'm pretty sure it was way longer than-" Goku (inside Brian): "He has a problem with that, just don't question it"

I hope TFS sees this, it's nice to know that even after DBZA ended, people still carry on its legacy

The way whis casually knew the name of the fusion lol. "Hello Brian"

Things I love about this: 1. Paragus actually gives a shit about Broly 2. It's not a sequel of the DBZA series, rather it's a new show/version that is made from scratch, with a similar yet very different feel that makes it unique. 3. The voice actors are immaculate. I'm legit shocked at how well this has been structured to be, and I'm all for it. Don't listen to the haters fr, just because it's different than DBZA doesn't mean it's not as good. I'm almost an hour in and I'm having the time of my life rn. I will say tho, that the DBZA reference (with the pizzas) was golden. In any case, I hope this series thrives and that it takes the direction YOU want it to go. Keep at it, it's remarkable!

"This is why I steal techniques!" Best line of the movie after the lines between Paragus and Frieza over the Saiyan forms

The way Paragus' and Broly's story was written made me actually care about their relationship and Paragus' death, it's crazy.

Whis- “I was about to fold him like a lawn chair”had me dead💀😂

This Goku VA is actually really nice. It's a lowkey approach and I always love hearing a new goku voice tbh

5:32 "Broly could be of great use to Vegeta" "...My son, the planet, or me?" "Yes."

Some people seem to forget. TFS started off GOOD and only got BETTER. This is exactly what TFS wanted when they said if someone wanted to take on Super then they have and always have had permission to do so. Let’s be glad that it’s being done by someone who seems to share the same LOVE for the the source material as TFS has. Congrats to you, the voice actors, and anyone involved in this. I have watched the first abridged Super episode you did and it keeps the same energy this did and the same as TFS. I’m truly looking forward to what you do going forward. Im glad to see at least for the most part people share my opinion.

"Do something unpredictable." *broly gets bodied* "Credit to him, I didn't predict he'd try the same thing again."

Frieza lore dumping saiyan forms to paragus while goku is fighting is fucking hilarious

"Super saiyan 3 IQ" is one of the best DBZ flavored insults ive ever heard! Amazing lol

"Friend? My friend has been killed by PRIDE." jesus christ you didn't have to throw in better writing than the ACTUAL movie had!

You can really hear Piccolo's VA try not to crack up laughing at the 1:10:54 part. It's like he saw the result at just that moment and was like, "You're just doing this to screw with me, aren't you?"

The voices for Frieza and Nappa were very close to TFS .

The dialogue between Goku and Vegeta when they were fused was amazing, the idea of Vegeta screaming at Goku while letting Freezer go was something I didn't know I needed. Take my sub

"suck it kakarot" really sounds true to Vegeta's spirit and first draft idea from a man child.

“Oh my lord!, he hit him with the razzle dazzle hands!” Took me Tf out!!!!

“I love my planet, and I love my king, but I love my son more…. And you shall not take him from me!” Fucking chills dude

Frieza talking to Paragus’s corpse: Anyway Super Saiyan 5 was a fan made form made after GT. Why would someone make more forms of those monkeys is beyond me.

Vegeta calling Wis “Hula hoop neck” got me dying 😭🤦🏾‍♂️💯

Seriously yall made paragus more dramatic than the original. It really makes me sympathize on the years Paragus and Broly had to spend on vampa.

I love how King Vegeta in this version is lowkey insulting Cold and Freeza and they are both too stupid to see it 🤣

This was very well done. The critiques comparing it to tfs, dont let them get to you. The tfs fanbase always harrassed them just the same, but they expected THEIR product. Yours is done in your own style and vision and valid in its own way. The tfs references made me happy. And the things i enjoyed most (aside from, i will admit, the truly gut-busting quips they did) were actually the "corrections" in the flawed logic of the dbz timeline. Which you covered very well. I look forward to more. And you've earned this sub.

Finally seeing the project release, it's so great to see everyone being so supportive of the heart, passion, and care put into this project! You guys are great! Thank you so much to Kai for allowing me to lend my voice and skills to the project. Your hard-work, talent, and passion enabled this fantastic movie to be how it is. I can't put into words how grateful I am to be a part of this and to have learned so much from the outstanding skills showcased by you throughout the production! Finn, Mauly, Kayde, Sarah, Billy, Chance, Kreatum, Sorabotics, and Wes. You guys all did a phenomenal job! You should all be extremely proud of the heart and skill you put into this project! Learning off all of you has been an inspiring experience and I cannot wait to work with you all in future projects!

Holy shit the voice actor for broly is fucking incredible those SCREAMS

The fact that Vegeta wasn't thinking to himself, "Mine mine mine mine mine.......mine" as Broly was charging him first disappoints me 😢

Vegeta : He hasn't even become super saiyan..that doesn't make any sense..MAYBE HE CAN'T..no...power scaling isn't that bullshit..HE'S MOCKING ME! ILL KILL HIM! BACK INTO THE MOUNTAINS! Broly : RAAAH This all had me dying i swear it was so funny 😂

I like how this abridge doesn't use every opportunity to crack a joke. They let the battles rock, making it feel like a more authentic story telling.

So you simultaneusly made Paragus a better person, and made him a cannibal.

1:13:54 “i was about to fold him like s lawn chair” got me crying 😭

Gogeta naming himself Brian has to be a reference to lythero calling bardock Brian

“I GOT BACON! NO CAP???” THE FACT THEY GOT IMMEDIATELY GOT UP💀😭😭

Love the references to TeamFourStar's DBZA! Makes this movie feel like it has continuity.

i calculated it (30 minutes per fusion) and frieza was getting beaten to death for 11 hours, and he turned golden at the 4 hour mark

"Hello Brian" "Hey Whis"

I love how at every possible moment you made Paragus a better father. Showing genuine remorse for using the Shock Remote, his speech when confronting King Vegeta, and his last words of course.

DAMN Broly's screams actually remind me of Bin Shimada's, they're really awesome.

i absolutely love how the humour is far subtler than tfs but keeps the same spirit while doing its own things

goku :"your turn" vegeta : "tag in" freezer :"what?!" had me dying

As someone who loves DBZA, I gotta say you guys did a great job with this. The voice acting was on point and the writing did a great job blending abridged comedy with almost legit dubbing. Hope this doesn’t get hit with copyright, because this deserves to be preserved

Frieza explaining the Super Sayian forms is freaking hilarious. And Paragus trying to make sense of it is even funnier. Also, Whis already knowing Brian was genius.

Ssj4 gogeta: "Disgusting! Thirty minutes." Ssj4 gogeta:*proceeds to ultra big bang kamehameha piccolo*

Canibal Paragus is something I never knew I wanted but now adore completely

Whoever was Brolly's VA needs a raise. Those screams were peak

Goku- "C'mon vegeta i got a plan" Vegeta-" You've got a what?" 😂

The dbza references are peak, especially the two meat lovers with stuffed crust

This was great from start to finish. The DBZA references, Bryan, and even otherworld in the ending credits. Hats off. You made a masterpiece

nobody talking about that Frieza got beaten up for 11 HOURS STRAIGHT LIKE BRUH

The ending💀🙏 "No, I've learned a valuable lesson... consequences" had me like BRO HE DID NOT JUST SAY NO😭🙏

Okay, this was great. I about died at "I would never make you take care of a baby!" "Oddly specific". I legit can not wait to see your DBS Abridged. You did a great job at telling jokes but not letting them take over the story and the nods to TFS without trying nod and wink at the camera about them was fantastic. The Pizza reference was just *chef's kiss* ETA: Had to come back and watch it all a second time. I love how Whis automatically knows the guy's name is Brian.

"oh like elmo!" "the fuck is elmo??" this made me laugh so hard 😭

“Saiyan pride parade!!!!” Greatest name for an attack ever

1:05:52 BROLY LEWK!!! 🆖️🅱️ WILIN!!

Vegeta’s screeching is SO GOOD! I especially love when his internal monologue is screaming bloody murder but his -twink- god form is crystal calm as always

Nah nah nah what's the magical word i told you? Hakai :3 That literally erased me 😂

"I embrace my fucking death! Fuck you Kakarot!" - Bardock remembering his son's name for the first time. 😂

i absolutely love the changes to broly and paragus's relationship in this it really shows what they could have done in the movie compared to what they did do, one of the major reasons i have for disliking super broly is that his entire he loves his father awakening story was just not fleshed out enough for it to be effective. so many changes in this i love compared to the movie, i love how his last words were ACTUALLY there and that they were an apology to his son, i love how he actually shows remorse using the remote unlike the movie, i like how the reason he went to go get his son was not "your just jealous hes so much better and ill prove it" and it was just a "i love my son", i love the change from paragus is an asshole and kills his training partner because hes "too friendly" to him putting ba out of misery because he got sick. ALSO THE FLASHBACK SCENE WAS PERFECT I DONT CARE THEY DIDNT MAKE ENOUGH SCENES FOR IT TO NOT BE DRAWN IN. props to the team on making this extremely good and funny throughout im very happy to be watching this in its first day uploaded (and also a little jealous i cant chip into the live chat)

Broly's voice actor understood the assignment

I thank you for this. I’ve missed content like this. You’re filling a much needed void in DB Abridged content. Thank you.

I love how nobody trusts Goku with senzu beans anymore😂

“Except for Prince Vegeta he’s not invited” Love that little bit because if you’ve watched the anime King Vegeta dies by Frieza when he invades his ship in order to kill him

How's your first ever shower, son? "mmmmm" Sounds about right 🤣🤣

1:10:10 I genuinely cannot overstate how happy I was hearing the E rank music play when they messed up the dance. I have ALWAYS thought that needed to play whenever they mess up the fusion dance.

The internal conversation in Gogeta was a clever idea.

lmaoo frieza having a nanny thats he's actually cool wit is a wholesome interaction i never thought id see

1:20:39 - 1:20:54 LOL Vegeta inside Gogeta’s mind Freak out gets me every time 😂😂

Whats the magic word i tought you? "HAKAI"

I am legit stunned at both the quality of the writing AND the timing of the jokes. You guys are REALLY onto something. Please keep it up. I can't go through what happened to DCU Abridged again lmfao

That "no" at the end was savage 😂

Mr.paragus sir we have orders to bring strong recruits into the Frieza Force Get in the fucking ship please sir! 34:29

Can't imagine how many breaks the Broly VA needed with the amount of constant screaming bro did

"A Super Reunion" Vegeta: Was that before or after we met Broly? Goku: Which one? Vegeta: The GOOD one. Goku: Oh, after.

Every abridged or fan made version of dbz always make Shenron a thug 🤣🤣

Bardock being Australian/British is really funny but also fits really well.

I LOVE HOW WHIS KNEW HIS NAME WAS BRIAN!

“I don’t think you want any part of this young man “- Gangsta whis🕺🤸‍♀️

Some of y'all are giving this guy alot of grief. This is actually insanely impressive for a parody. The mix of comedy and seriousness is very atuned with TFS android saga.

Nion: "he would become a great use for Vegeta" King Vegeta: *Not even gonna ask her the OBVIOUS question and just KILLS HER because he already knew her answer* Freaking smartass. Grand Versier Nappa. What do you think we should do with Broly? Grand Versier Nappa: Look, Frieza's "Birthday Party" is in just a week, so I suggest exiling him, so he'll be out of your hair. King Vegeta: Good thinking. And before you go, I'm sending my son, Prince Vegeta, with you on your next mission. I'm sure he won't be too much of a bother to you and the troops. Grand Versier Nappa: Sir, Are you sure that's a good idea? You know Frieza wants EVERYONE here for his "party". King Vegeta: Please, I'm sure you'll complete your mission & return home just in time to celebrate. LITERALLY, EVERYONE WATCHING THE MOVIE: *Yeah. . . . . . about that. . . . . . .*

9:42 "The fuck is spanish" LMAOOOO this is jokes

I love how the “he didn’t invite me to his birthday party” joke from dragonZball Pee is in this abridged. Also the callbacks from the TFS abridged series’

"You have no self awareness" "yEaH i Do, I'M RIGHT HERE" 🤣 that whole back and forth with Goku and Frieza was amazing. "Still upset about the pizzas?" I love that tfs is so popular that they referenced them.

The origin of nappa being funny and Vegeta's rage against him for 20-30 years. Good gag. Ghost nappa is legendary. Also SPACE GRINDR?!! I died laughing at this one.

"he's mocking me.....I'LL KILL EM! BACK INTO THE MOUNTAIN!!!!" So happy to see that there's still amazing abridged content out here lmao. Awesome job guys. This was great to watch!.

No way Bulla Knows Hakai thats fucking priceless i cant wait to see her if she ever debuts in the actual anime

"I've got some meat for you to handle right here" Bardock who married the best saiyan wemen in planet vegetable

I'm just imagining both voice actors for Goku and Vegeta in the booth right next to each other, yelling "PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW" in one microphone until their faces turn red 😂😂

Honestly, Bulma has no room to talk about the Dragon Balls to any capacity. She's just lucky that Goku isn't smart enough to argue back without tapping into his Saiyan roots

The only unrealistic thing about this Abridged Movie, is that Goku LEARNED about Consequences in the end.

51:48 Who's gonna tell the short king 59:17 yeah, the only one who can swear at him like that is 'Gets (Vegeta) 1:19:00 missed opportunity to call it the 100x Big Brian Kamehameha
