Dragon Ball Z Abridged Broly Movie Reaction 

That last joke :"I want a divorce", "me too, I'm starving" is a reference to how Chichi and Goku got married. When they were children, Goku promised Chichi he would marry her when the latter asked him but when he met with her a few years later he admitted the only reason he swore to it was because he thought she was talking about food. In the end, because he promised her, he decided to keep the promise and marry her anyway.

“You see PRINCE Vegeta you aren’t dealing with average Saiyan Warrior anymore.” These words which he spewed out so much against Frieza have FINALLY bit him in the ass.

Fun fact: TFS originally wanted Markiplier to voice Broly. But that didn’t happen because of Mark’s busy schedule.

"He's so cool, But he's so goddam Dumb!" Every Broly fan ever... until the new movie came out and gave him a new infinitely better backstory and personality

Broly "What is a king to a GOD?" Vegeta "What is a god to a non believer!?" Vegeta's theme music starts to play Vegeta proceeded to get absolutely wrecked in a single attack almost instantly Broly "Do you believe now?" Vegeta "uuh, huhh...... so cool." I have said before and I will say it again, the script that Team Four star writes is astoundingly good. This is one of their best yet!

"That man is going to be the death of me." Be sure to remember that line... 😄

31:15 that impression of calm Broly was so spot on!

Bethany’s face throughout the movie😂. She was not ready for this movie.

So, for some context, all the people that Goku questioned about South Galaxy were actually his old enemies from the original Dragon Ball. Mercenary Tao, Piccolo, Tien, and Pilaf were all enemies of Goku when he was a kid. Tao was the guy with the weird mask over his eyes, and you haven’t seen Pilaf at all. Pilaf was also the very first major villain in all of Dragon Ball.

Fun fact, Talking Moovie Bubbles is voiced by the guy who voices Professor Layton.

Fun fact: the responses Gohan and Goku came up with to describe Broly (a genuine demon, a true freak) were actually Broly’s responses in the original dubs.

I always loved that The "Average Saiyan" line is thrown back at Vegeta. All Vegeta could do is groan.

TFS just hating Broly resulted in one of the best things they've made.

That conversation with Cell is one of the funniest things TFS has ever done, and I can't even tell you why. I just know it makes me laugh every single time.

It's Broly time. NOW BROLY!!!!!

OH MY GOD HES SO. GOD. DAMNED. COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:50 THAT is Mercenary Tao, or Tao Pei Pei. He was a villain in the original Dragonball series, an internationally feared assassin known best in the setting for being the brother of the Crane Hermit, the longtime rival of Master Roshi who trained Tien and Chiaotzu, and for being the killer of Mr. Satan's own master after the two of them got drunk in a bar and insulted Tao's hair to his face. The reason he looks like that, though, is because Goku kicked a grenade into his face during their second fight, and he gets trauma flashbacks at the mere thought of Goku, or as shown in a later filler episode, of Gohan for the near-perfect physical resemblance. He's actually one of the strongest Humans ever in the setting, for as memeable as he's become in the years since (I won't spoil it, but you really should watch his filler appearance during the Cell Games, it's one of the most over-the-top 'F*ck This Shit, I'm Out' moments in television history). Edited for grammar error.

8:59 Definitely a “only saw Z, who this?” moment.

22:47 the most regrettable line ever

9:35 "you're gonna be the death of me" Foreshadowing 🤣

The funny part of the Shamoshan's safe word being "broccoli" is that Broly's name is a pun on broccoli to begin with

I mean Broly was so crazy popular after this movie that he got two sequels and another movie in the dragon ball super series that makes him canon. As well as giving him a backstory that isn’t Goku cried and that traumatized him as a baby

24:00 my favorite part of the movie the sounds of them trying to hit him just gets to me everytime

Broly's power level was 10,000 when he was born. For reference, Bardock had the same power level when he died.

The way you guys have actually fallen in love with the series and it’s characters I’d love to see your reaction to the 2019 Broly Movie

"Princess Tru~nks!" - "Please no..." - "You lied to me!" - "I did No. Such. Thing!" - "You Dirty Boy!" - [Moment of Silent Horror] - "Goku! Get Me Off This Planet Right Now! I'm Serious! Instant Transmission Me!" ~ (20:26) This still gets me laughing like a hyena. The sheer horror Trunks had (lol) 🤣🤣🤣

ACTUALLY contrary to popular belief, Goku’s crying is like a traumatic trigger for him. Because he was crying AS he was being stabbed (the knife did not break in the anime).

Pilaf is the least imposing/effective of the antagonists Goku brought up in that scene. That's why it's funny that Goku would describe him the way he did.

22:49 Unfortunately TFS never got around to do the Bojack movie so Gohan didn't get his own movie in abridged.

Quick notes regarding the ones Goku visited before going to New Planet Vegeta; - The cyborg-human guy is called Mercenary Tao. Goku fought him when he was a kid. He was an extremely infamous and powerful mercenary at that time, and Goku actually got his butt handed to him the first time they fought. However, in their 2nd meeting, Goku had gotten stronger and Tao tried to blow up Goku with a grenade, only for it to be returned right back into Tao's face, resulting in his cybernetics. They met again later when Goku had become an adult at the Martial Arts Tournament where he (again) got his butt handed to him, but this time by his brother's old apprentice, Tien. After that, Tao hasn't exactly been fond of any of the Z-fighters, and especially not Goku (as you saw ^^) - Pilaf is a character that takes too long to describe properly. In a very short summary, he was a goofy character in Dragon Ball who tried to take over the world with his two henchmen, Mai and Shu. Goku and his friends ran into him multiple times, which always resulted in Goku somehow ruining everything for Pilaf. In canon, Goku never really considered Pilaf a threat, and doesn't in fact remember him in Dragon Ball Super. TeamFourStar making him seem like Goku's biggest and most hated enemy is a creation of their own (and I personally love it.)

29:13 the other world tournament is a fighting tournament were all the dead people of history participate to see whos the strongest one. Thats why South Kai has more options now, because everyone in his galaxy is now dead.

People are gonna say that the crying baby thing was in the real movie too, but it's actually a mistranslation not present in the original Japanese dialog. There's big post on Kanzenshuu titled "Does Broly even remember Goku as a baby?" that pretty clearly explains this, but to summarize, in the original Japanese dialog, Neither Paragaus nor Broly ever states that Broly actually hates Goku, rather merely that Goku's presence trigger's Broly's abilities ("Does this mean that Broly's instincts as a Saiyan have been awakened by Kakarot's power"), and likewise, it's never said the crying is the cause of it, rather that scene is presented as just how the two were born on the same day and fated to fight, and that Goku's strong wailing making infant Broly sob in spite of the latter being so much more powerful represents Goku's determination ("Broly and Kakarot were born on the same day, one right after the other....the threads of destiny have once again intertwined here" and '[Broly's] just been born and yet his power level is already 10.000...[Goku] power level of only 2, made [Broly] cry!...His power level may be low but that kid at least has guts!")

Ahh Broly, the movie that stirred up so controversy that 25 whole years later they gave it a complete reboot and made Broly Canon. Glad to see you react to this and can't wait to see you react to the newest one!

18:33 another little reference. Some very young kids were interviewed at school about what they wanted to be when they grew up. The responses got viral on the internet because of one particular answer In between 2 kids saying they wanted to be an astronaut, and a cook, along with the respective drawings of how they would look as an astronaut or a cook, there was the drawing of a very buff guy. This kid said that he wanted to be Broly when he grew up. Why? Because "Broly's power is Maximum"

22:46, this aged perfectly 🙂

The whole “he’s so cool but he’s so dumb” reflects the general consensus towards Broly. The Goku crying thing IS a major part of his background, but the original Broly film is often retroactively associated with the failings of the following 2. Here are the meanings behind each part of Broly’s character moments/traits: - Broly associates Goku’s crying with the worst moment of his life. He was denied his birthright by strength, cast off to die with only his father, and even lost his home - Broly has been manipulated since childhood, hence the control on Paragus’ hand which would forcefully make Broly docile - Part or the initial reason Broly snaps is because of his initial staredown with Goku. Broly tried to dominate him by flexing his ki/pressure, and Goku more than easily matched him - Broly overall reflects Saiyan culture to its natural conclusion. Saiyans believe in might over right and the birthright of the mighty. Broly is the strongest and yet Goku simply rejects that as a reason to stand down, likewise, the more the Z warriors resist, the more Broly would devolve as his sense of reason gave way to his ego - This is also reflected with Broly’s clothing. He’s adorned in gold and fine robes to reflect how “regal” he would be by Saiyan standards. As the most powerful, and as the legendary super Saiyan, he would likely have been the new king by choice if not by force (and acceptance of that force by the public), or even simply because he’d likely have been the one to kill Frieza - You can also see the Saiyan side of him as a conquerer, sadistic destroyer, and even his fighting style which is more brutal than the standard Z warrior. Much more akin to Bardock and Future Gohan by comparison. - the original film is not where the “kakarot” meme originates, as Broly could still form clear sentences and had a sense of humor. When asked for mercy he replied “Mercy? Is that another word for coffin?” - Broly’s fatal wound from Goku punching him, was in the same place he was stabbed (which was successful as a child) so the theme of destiny comes back into play. Destined to be the strongest, destined to with his father as a reject of the saiyans Overall there’s some depth to the original Broly movie. I’m very tired while typing this so I might have missed some stuff AND worded this poorly. I hope I gave the gist of why people vouch for Movie 8 Broly specifically. Even then I prefer DBS Broly personally, but I understand why many don’t. I still prefer movie 12 Gogeta’s seriousness to any other portrayal, despite DBS Gogeta not being too far off overall. Thanks for reading!

Mercenary Tao, or the screaming guy, is an OG antagonist from Dragon Ball and some DBZ filler episodes

So long story short: Any Saiyan with a pure heart that is strong enough can become super saiyan, but Broly is the “Legendary Super Saiyan” that appears every 1000 years.

'When Broly?' was a running joke in the TFS Community for the longest time, cuz everyone loved the old Broly so much without ever thinking about him critically that they would just ask the team at conventions all the time.

His power..IS MAXIMUM!!!

By the way, the music that plays when Broly transformed is called Beerus's Madness

I remember growing up thinking it was so silly that Broly hated Goku because as babies, Goku cried too much. Later on I watched a Netflix series about this child that tried to kill his sister because she cried too much. The boy never acted on it , the series had something to do with mental disorders. I quickly thought of Broly & went…”oh…my…god” 😂 The new Broly’s backstory is technically better writing but I’m kinda gonna miss that untamed rage 😡

The Story Goes Broly is *literally* the end product of "special strength" aka "bless their heart", a fan asked Toriyama what Goku would have been like if he hadn't bumped his head and met Chichi, and Broly was born.

The funny thing is Z Broly talks a lot more than most people give him credit at least in his first movie, it's just a lot of the things he says are sadistic. He's even more knowledgeable than some describe him, such as when he knew the space pod can only hold one person and his father was going to abandon him and when he knew Goku was absorbing energy from the others.

You're dead on about TFS using Vegeta as a mouthpiece for the fanbase in this movie! Fun as this movie is, you'll be pleased to know it's non-canon and the new Broly introduced in Dragonball Super has a *much* better backstory to him!

1. If you remmeber Broly was referenced in the first Bardock movie, bei g the Saiyan baby next to Goku with a power level of 10K 2. The DBS movie that effectively reboots Broly's character and makes him canon is *so good* and it genuinely makes Broly a better character

Pilaf, Mercenary Tao, Tien, and King Piccolo/Piccolo Jr. (Our Piccolo) were the main antagonists of each saga of the OG Dragon Ball series (Pre Z).

Also fun fact: Broly's calm and enraged voices in this video are the same voice actor

Broly's casual voice had my dying of laughter xD LIke WHY did they go with that haha

Oh snaps! This is the one I was waiting for! Broly is now canon in the Dragon Ball series. However, his backstory changed for the better now. Regardless, the abridged version was hilarious! Hope you two like it! 😂💪

Goku's big idea to find out who destroyed South Galaxy was to ask all the previous Earth-based villains from DBZ and original Dragon Ball...

Mercenary Tao was one of the villains of the villains of the Red Ribbon Arc in the original DB. Pilaf is the villain of the first DB arc. Tien was introduced as an antagonist and he was trained by Tao's older brother (the Crane hermit/Roshi's rival). Goku is the reason he's a cyborg now (he killed a lot of his enemies as a kid- hence the footage of Gero's son in a previous episode). Piccolo was the final villain of DB. Obviously, none of them has the power to destroy a galaxy.

The guy that was non stop screaming when Goku teleported to him, with the robot eyes was Mercenary Tao. He was a minor antagonist who left a big impression. Greatest fighter in the Red Ribbon army (well, not technically a member, being a mercenary) and he beat the dogshit out of Goku when they first met. Nearly killed him. He was bested by his own hubris

Funfact: The Maximum bit is from a kid quoted in a newspaper about what superhero he wants to be. He said Broly because his power is "Maximum."

I love kens reaction to Broly before he transforms.

The guy guy that was seaming was a villian from the original Dragon Ball that took place when goku was a child.

The original music for when Broly turns legendary is Pantera 10s and fits too well (in the English dub) How I was introduced to heavier music than hard rock

As far as I'm concerned, this movie has the single funniest scene in all of DBZA. That scene where they all attack Broly and the music and sound effects cut out and you just hear a bunch of grunting and light slapping sounds.. Kills me every time.

If you're wondering who the asian cyborg is at 9:00, that's Mercenary Tao, an assassin that was sent to kill Goku during the original Dragon Ball show. He is actually one of three characters to have canonically beaten Goku. That being said, this happened way back during the second arc of the show when Goku was still a kid. The man has been _woefully_ outclassed by Goku since he defeated him the first time.

Broly was probably everyone's first time while watching this series that a power-up felt like....a power-up. I mean the guy EXPLODES HIMSELF. His body tears itself open

If you liked DBZ Abridged, they have a series where they go through the entire story of Final Fantasy 7 in a similar manner. It's called Final Fantasy 7 Machinabridged.

If you get around to watching the “Dragonball Super: Super Hero” movie it focuses a lot on the familial ties between Piccolo and Gohan. The English dub even has Piccolo refer to Pans (Gohans daughter) teacher by name, which shows how often he’s the one to pick her up from school. Goku and Vegita appear in the movie, but they aren’t involved with the main plot at all.

Ya know I always took broly taking gokus crying as a ptsd trigger for the day he was born. like he recognized his ki signature. He was stabbed thrown in a ditch then had his planet exploding on top him. All in less than 24 hrs. Then he was experimented on by his father to be controlled and if he gets too angry he has to release energy so he doesn’t explode. Honestly the dudes kinda like vegeta was in the sayian arc. Just was more savage brutal and badass lmao

You have to know this: The DBZA Crew was dreading this movie. For years, Fans were NOT shutting up and constantly asked for it 'WHEN BROLY?!' They knew there were such high expectations because the old Broly, even though it was a very flawed movie had a very strong fanbase and they really were stressing themselves out writing the Script for this. Takahata010 - voice of Cell and many others explicitly said it was one of the hardest undertakings of their whole Careers as writers and voice actors. So it is really heartwarming this had become their most viewed movie ever.

Ah yes. Broly. A villain who constantly evolves and grows as the fight is progressing. So cool. But also, his main drive is a memory of a crying infant in a pod next to him. So dumb. I liked that we got to see Gohan and Trunks do the Masenko together. That was nice. Little Future Student and Past Master interaction. Well, Past Master of the Future. Future Master of the Past. Complicated. Moving on, Broly was eventually redone and made canon in a movie many, many years later in the Dragon Ball Super canon.

Mercenary Tao(the guy that was screaming while Goku was talking to him) was screaming because of PTSD. He used to be a regular human assassin. Then Goku happened.

Piccolos endearing parenting style is actually something they picked up in Dragonball Super.

Fun fact, Krillin singing horribly is hilarious considering Lani is an amazing singer.

Being a kid is having Goku be your favorite character and when you grow up you realize Vegeta is almost undeniably the best character in the whole show. Such a perpetual ball of rage and pride. "And disrespect MY heritage?! I will address him with the name given to him by the glorious Saiyan race! KAKAROT KAKAROT KAKAROT!!!!"

The "my power is maximum" jokes were based on a child's drawing of broly with the text "his power is maximum"

In the canon of the Broly movie it was more like his Power was rising so much that he was on the verge of exploding at all times. So it wasn't really Goku that defeted him with a punch, it was more like because Goku pumped more energy into Broly, that Broly could not contain the power anymore and started to explode. At least that is what makes the most sense. As far as I know they really went with the whole "How can his body contain this much power?" In any other way, no one would have won against him The beating they got in the movie was even greater. It is also debatable if Broly is Stronger than cell just because he fought against all of them at the same time which none of the fighters in dragon ball normally do (Also pretty controversial at the time). Even if the fate of the planet is on the line.

New Vegeta, named after planet Vegeta, Re-named after King Vegeta, father of King Vegeta the second, father of King Vegeta the third, Father of Prince Vegeta who we all know and love

"HEY BROLY: SAY MY NAME!" is legit my favorite one liner from this entire series.

couple of fun facts: The line "My power is Maximum" is a reference to a news article, where a kid was asked who his favorite fictional character was (or super hero or something along those lines) and he said Broly, "because his power is maximum". accompanied by a childs drawing of broly, it was pretty funny and cute lol. also, this is not a Team Four Star story, or made up for comedic purposes. unfortunately, the ACTUAL lore of this movie, is that Broly hates Kakarot, due to his constant and endless crying in the maternity ward. that is literally it. he is an awesomely designed character, but his backstory is beyond stupid. thats why people like DB Super Broly a lot more, they retconned his lore and made him much cooler. sidenote: do you all plan on watching the Cell VS Videos? i hope so, because they are great!

Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan was the first thing I ever watched of the DragonBall universe and I've been a fan ever since! He was brutal... and so God damn dumb 😂

The best thing about this special when broly said "broly's wife?" Trunks didnt deny it prison style he's broly's bitch now

You know, as I continue to follow this amazing reaction series of yours, I'm beginning to think that Hellsing Ultimate Abridged by Team Four Star might just be the next series you guys should give a go. Something tells me it'll be a hit. 😂

The original line from the movie was literally in response to 'you're a monster!': 'No... The DEVIL!' So, in the Death Battle, Broly steals Hulk's line 'You wouldn't like me when I'm angry', and Hulk steals Broly's line 'Not a monster. The Devil.' There are a lot of fun easter eggs people use to reference the original Broly movie. 'My power is maximum' is another one that is memorable.

"I think it's your movie next" Oh how sad that line has gotten at this point

i love the part where gohan and trunks both hit broly with the masenko because that’s piccolo’s move. piccolo taught it to gohan, and future gohan taught it to future trunks.

"That man is going to be the death of me" Oh king Kai you poor fool lol

Vegeta actually represented the entire fandom here XD

17:52-18:03 Actually, this is Beerus's theme, hilariously enough. That nane really isn't going to matter to you, though, because he doesn't show up until Super, which DBZA didn't touch beyond a few clips. Tbf, he was also name dropped in the DBZA version of this movie. In the original, he didn't exist yet, so he wasn't lol.

I've been waiting for this moment for months now lol glad to see you finally react to this movie!!

The guy screaming his head off is Tao Pai, a Mercenary and Martial Arts Master in the OG Dragonball. When Goku was a kid, Tao tried to kill him with a grenade, so Goku kicked the grenade back at him and it blew up, nearly killing him and forcing him to replace like 90% of his body with cybernetics. He was screaming because he is forever terrified of Goku and thought he was back to finish the job.

I think Broly's canon height is around 8 feet tall, and his power increases as time passes, which is part of the reason why he gets dumber and just devolves into saying Kakarot. Also the reason Paragus gave for Broly hating Goku is movie accurate.

Fun fact: the reason Broly's hair in legendary super Saiyan form is green is because of the side effect of the crown his father put on him to control him and use him as the perfect weapon, but Broly's anger allowed him to overcome the mind control.

Whenever I rewatch this movie, I like the Broly song at the end even better than before. Nick's delivery really is Maximum in this!

I would love to see you guys react to some of these scenes in their original version. The full battle against broly is just brutal

bro Oolong always kills me lmao

I love how they made Broly a moody teenager stereotype lol

How many caught the king kai foreshadowing... "He'll be the death of me"

After watching the fighterz vids you’ve no doubt noticed that there’s two Broly’s. The reason being is the old DBZ movies were not part of the actual cannon so these events didn’t happen in the series. Much later decided to introduce Broly canonically in Dragon Ball Super via another film and overhauled his design and motives.

I do not know if it is mentioned anywhere and not sure if it is true but I think the reason Goku defeated him with one punch is because he hit him exactly on the spot he was stabbed as a baby. It became like a weakspot for him, short of like Achilles's tendon.

I've been waiting for this moment, for this movie, for this reaction.

A lot of the references here are kinda hard to get without expansive knowledge of the franchise, so here are some hints. - The cybernetic guy is called Tao Pai Pai and he was a mercenary hired by the Red Ribbon army to kill Goku in the og Dragonball. He beat Goku in their first match, but Goku won the rematch and kicked a Grenade in his face. He later returns as a cyborg but gets beaten by Tien. He is also the brother of the master of the crane school of martial arts, who was a long term rival of Master Roshi and trained Tien and Chiatzou before they defected to Master Roshi. Tao Pai Pai returns in a filler episode in Z where he meets Gohan and gets afraid cause he looks a lot like Goku. The other guys mentioned are also all villains from the og Dragonball. - When Goku says "I was gona save this for Cell, but"... is a reference to what happens during the Cell games, wont say what for obvious spoilers. - The "pretty sure the next movie is yours" is a reference to DBZ Movie 9 where Gohan takes over the main role, sadly TFS never got around to make it - the other world tournament is a reference to a filler in Z that occurs after the Cell games - Chichi wanting a divorce and Goku thinking it's food is a reference to how they got married. In the og DB Chichi as a child asks Goku to marry her and he agrees because he thinks marriage is food. Later Chichi returns to fulfill the promise and Goku agrees to marry her because he didn't want to break it.

@9:00 the reason thats funny is because thats one of Goku's villains as a kid. He screaming because Goku is the one who messed up his face with a grenade which why he has robotics eyes and ears. After Goku killed The Red Ribbon Army (DBZ verson of Nazi) he went in hiding knowing how terrifying Goku can get once hes angery

For the record, every time Vegeta ever uttered word about "the Legendary Super Saiyan" back on Namek? THAT'S the form Broly took on in this movie. Unlike standard Super Saiyan, this is a form that emerges once every thousand years, and taps into the pure, unrestrained, unstoppable rage of the Saiyan race. And because it has that as a power source, it is not in any way hindered by the sheer musculature it grants unlike when Trunks bulked himself up. Its only limit is the user's stamina, otherwise it can keep going FOREVER. However, it has a serious drawback: As much as Super Saiyan forms push their users' aggressive tendencies to their limits, Legendary Super Saiyan can drive the user completely insane, making it the most difficult form to keep control of.

Broly's power is maximum is a respond to a writing on a newspaper about a kid saying that he wants to be Broly because his power is maximum.

9:00-9:08 That's Mercenary Tao, a villain from OG DragonBall.
