Reacting to DBZ Abridged Episode 21 Without Watching Dragon Ball Z 

"But how could you--??" - "Muffin Button". A perfectly understandable and logical explanation from Goku. IIRC we never saw him use this ability before or even after this episode.

vegeta choosing the renegade option will never not get a chuckle out of me and i have never even played mass effect. also interesting fact: the editor of team four star commented that he actually did do intensive research for the seizure procedure, to find a combination of colours and frequency of flashes that is specifically known to NOT actually cause seizures to ensure they don't actually cause any real life harm to someone.

TFS had a whole series on their gaming channel called Renegade for Life, where the guy who plays Vegeta acts in character while playing games. I miss that series

Krillin is STRONG! He is the strongest human fighter in the series. It's not his fault saiyans, androids and namekians are objectively stronger than humans in every way. But we can't fault Krillin for being human because we are all humans too 😅

When it comes to the "it gets better" there are 2 ways of looking at it. 1. Episodes 1-5 are a bit rough and they don't really hit their core identify until a few episodes ago (about when the ginyu force arrives) 2. The show is good but OH MAN, you aint seen nothing yet. (Kinda like One piece) Both are accurate

Team four star made the goku vs the ginyu fights way better than the original imo

H-man whenever theres a scene that is animated and doesnt look remotely edited : yes , i can confirm this in fact DID happen

Love the reaction but if you're gonna talk you should pause. You guys miss a ton of jokes talking through

DBZ Abridged has some dated material, but it holds up so well after all of these years. A seminal classic, to be sure. If the ever come back to do Bojack and Buu, they will probably 'break the internet'. Remember when that was a thing.

I LOVED ever single episode of this and I'm really disappointed they stopped at cell.

One of the better banter episodes

"I just give him the respect for being the strongest human."........ I just give him respect for banging Android 18😎✌️ #rizzkingkrillin

These guys miss some of the funniest jokes when laughing/talking without pausing the video.

Vegeta saying "Renegade for life" is also a reference to Team Four Star's gaming channel, where some of the videos of Vegeta playing games are called "Renegade for Life" (also the videos of Vegeta forcing Krillin to play horror games are hilarious)

Ah, the Krillin Rizz is working.

In dragonball xenoverse 2 burter actually is the fastest character by default

Yea Goku reads Krillin's mind and NEVER uses it again

Yeah, "Ginyu Force" in japanese was commonly said as "Ginyu Toku-Sentai"

banana bread

10:56 Actually, it's called Korobeiniki. It's a 19th century Russian folk song that tells a story about a meeting between a peddler and a girl.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved the casual conversation they have at the end about Tetris and tetanus.

4:58 love the Fight Club reference

4:40 *Vine Boom*

idk if Ruff has heard about it, but there is a Mass Effect 4 in development, though no one knows how much longer till we even get a release date.

Also Know Both Vegeta and Goku have gaming vids

And you now who is at fault here....the boy....

Rarely comment, but having seen this I cant un-see it and have to pass it on. Ruff looks like a discount Stephen Amell (From Arrow). :)

seizure (blue red flashing) warning on the original episode I think? Like the porygon pokemon episode thus the joke

Those are the wrong thumbnail faces for this series lmao

I tried to rewatch DBZ after watching Abridged. I can't do it. It's just not as good.

H Man saying that Recome’s booty traumatized him as a kid 😆

You guys are laughing all the time

They talk too much over the good jokes

You guys are talking all the time

Not a fan of the "power levels = speed" ngl.

Y'all missing a lot of jokes just talking over everything...

Ah yes, Goku's one time mind reading that he just kinda does this one time and then it NEVER gets brought up again. Also, the start of Vegeta calling everyone in his sight a super saiyan.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get tired of watching this show over and over again I need to watch it at least once a year it makes me happy😂 it makes me even happier watching reactors watch it because then it feels like I’m watching it with someone and everyone knows things become funnier when you have people to watch it with you

About Goku mishearing Burter's name as Butter, that's because all of the Ginyu Force is named after dairy products. Recoome in Japanese is an anagram for Cream Burter is Butter Jeice is Cheese Guldo in Japanese is just the back half of Yogurt And Ginyu is just Milk

That little joke with Goku confusing Burter with Butter for his Grand Slam is actually a reference to the Ginyu Force's name origins. Ginyu comes from the Japanese word for Dairy so the rest of the members are named after Dairy Products, Guldo is Yogurt, Jeice is Cheese, Burter is Butter, and Recoome is Cream

So, the higher PL = higher speed thing is a misconception. Vegeta's speed increased when his Power Level did, but that's because you're comparing a weaker Vegeta to a more powerful Vegeta. Power Levels are an estimate of the total amount of energy a character gives off at any given time, but characters will naturally use that energy in different ways depending on their personality, training, or biology. For instance, Jeice, Burter, and Recoome all have around the same Power Level, but they specialize in energy manipulation, speed, and raw strength respectively. They're all good at energy manipulation, but Jeice has blasts more powerful than the others. They're all incredibly fast, but Burter is the fastest on the squad. They all have massive physical strength, but Recoome is a great deal stronger and more durable. This is partially influenced by the fact that the Ginyu's are all mutants in their respective races, and after they discovered their specialties in their youth, they specifically trained to capitalize on those strengths. Guldo is weaker than the others, but he has an overpowered ability that puts him on a similar playing field. Ginyu is much stronger than the middle three, but he's currently more of a jack-of-all-trades. Frieza is so much more powerful than all of them that he's effortlessly stronger, faster, and more durable. He's just too lazy to do things himself. While the joke was funny, it helps to keep in mind that TFS' explanation here isn’t necessarily how it works. There are usually circumstances to consider.

So it’s not something y’all need to react to, but on one of TFS’ other channels, they’re doing commentary for the episodes. Kaiserneko, one of the main guys and the main editor, researched the whole thing about lights causing seizures and made sure the lights wouldn’t actually cause seizures by decreasing their speed. I just think it’s really cool the dude thought outside the box like that.

This episode is the turning point for me, where it goes from good to great

I wonder if people who've only watched DBZA were confused when Krillin mentioned having died out of nowhere, because that happened in the Z-less Dragon Ball era. Although I guess it's kinda the same as when Chaotzu died for the second time and you just had to accept that it had happened before. You don't even need much additional context for this one. King Piccolo didn't mess around.

I feel like this is the episode where, going forward, they hit every episode out of the park. Something you won't see much of going forward is random references to memes or whatnot; they don't need to, they know how to adapt and even improve upon the original. But at this stage, DBZA is more of a funny dub. Not far into the next season (after this Frieza stuff is done), DBZA becomes the best version of the original material. Not just the funniest version, but they also make really good choices with the characters.

God the jeice punch scene kills me everytime

In the past the strongest Saiyan was the father of Vegeta then himself. We are talking about no more than 18000 units of power. In Namek Vegeta got a lot stronger than that. And Goku arrives in the planet with more power. So yes, Vegeta thinking that Goku was the Super Saiyan is a serious thing.

I love that H-Man managed to catch enough breath to let out a “Naaaiiil” despite laughing the hardest 😂

… the ltter of whom spent 400 credits making long distance calls to his GIRLFRIEND, *WHO I AM CONVINCED IS NAMED CHUCK!!* i can never not laugh at this.

11:20 Yeah, that's the best part about this series. It only gets better.

TeamFourStar did do Final Fantasy 7 Abridged. You could check it out later if you like.

Man yall talked WAY too much over this episode in particular. Ruined some of the best lines in the series =/

4:42 wouldn’t be surprised if you did get a trauma. Toei had a obsession with showing recoome’s ass

I think you guys would really get a kick out of *Red vs. Blue*.

got to love super kami guru :P

Dodge!!!!
