Top 12 Sagas of DragonBall (FULL VIDEO) | DBcember 2021 

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Ghost Nappa

Rewatching in March of 2024 in memory of Akira Toriyama. Rip sensei

57:56 - Cell is... different. Most of the villains in Dragonball kill people. Freeza blew up whole inhabited planets. But Cell was killing people by stabbing them with his tail, sucking them up, and he emptied entire cities in this way. Millions of people shanked and ingested. Death is always worse when it takes its time.

Farewell DBcember. You were great when you lasted and you will be missed by all of us. Once again TFS and special guests that appeared each year for this thank you all so much.

1. Don't worry Scott, I still appreciate your jokes. 2. Seriously, I would totally accept a top beatdowns/curbstomps list if you wanted to put that out at some point. Also a Bulma's outfits list. That would be fun as well.

Kiren choosing GT over these two was hilarious. And then Grant getting revenege on Lani was *chef's kiss* amazing. and then Taka being too busy to help out because he's a smexy v-tuber? what a way to kick off the last DBCember!

Given Toei pulling a Yujiro on Mark's channel it's good to see you guys inviting him in this. Sad this is the last DBcember but it's a good last one. I'm curious what you guys have planned next year. I also agree with the issues about the Goku Black Arc. Yea alot of it kept the saga from being so good but damn the good stuff we got makes it almost worth it.

I dont know if I'll ever be able to rewatch this dbcember without crying ever again. This hits so much harder now.

DBZA began with the Saiyan saga, and DBcember ends with it. Thanks for all the amazing memories guys and I can’t wait to see what you do next!

So long DBcember, you kept me sane through the holidays for 7 years. It's been a wonderful ride, I'm not sad it's over I'm happy it happened, and grateful for you TFS for all the laughs you've given me. Have a great new year everyone.

It’s the end of an era, but every ending yields a new beginning, which is why it’s so fitting you put this video at the end of the year. Happy New Year, TFS!

DBecember is so tied to my holidays i am going back and watching them all, that and i think ive seen Plan to Eradicate Christmas like 4 times already (and Christmas tree of might like twice). Eventhough its over want you guys to know it still brings me SO much joy. And im maybe hoping for a Christmas reference in HFIL lol

Finishing my DBcember rewatch binge with this. So long. It was so sick being able to see these year to year.

Please surprise us in a few years down the road with a random, out-of-nowhere DBcember!!! G2g to dry my eyes...... It was fun, guys. Thanks!!!

It's honestly a little sad seeing DBcember leave, but after many years of top 24 and top 12 countdowns, it's fitting that the last one would be about the sagas of the franchise. I love hearing these topics and listen to the majority of the previous ones for the last couple years because Dragon Ball has been a staple of many of our childhoods and adulthoods. This may be an end of an era, but I know TFS has more to offer in the future. Sayonara DBcember, you will not be forgotten.

While I respect TFS’ decision to end DBcember, future holiday seasons just aren’t gonna feel the same without a new DBcember to look forward for each one.

1:01:47 Kaiser: "Yeah, but, hah hah, ending at the Cell Saga? I mean, that's... That'd be, uh... A terrible idea..." Mark: "Is, uh... Is Kaiser okay?" Lani: "We regret nothing, Mark." Kaiser: "UUUUUUGH!!!" Well, Kaiser, after a whole year, your wish was finally granted. So heccing glad that you guys were finally able to end the Abridged series at Buu, even if it's not in the way people were expecting. Everyone who helped make the Buu Bits possible seriously deserves a much needed break...

Thank you TFS for all the laughs and memories with DBZA, Hellsing Ultimate, and FFVII Machinabridge. I've made some good friends during my second half of high school and afterwards because of your videos. We love a lot of your content that you've all put up. While we were sad to see your series end, I can at least speak for them on this part when I say this, "Keep doing what you guys are doing. Even if it's not DBZA or anything else like it, we just want you guys to have fun doing what you guys love." So, to quote you all from your series: You are a hilarious. And we will quote everything you say. Thank you TFS, and a special thanks to all guests that came in to work alongside with them throughout their years of abridging.

This was a brilliant if not bittersweet way to end the annual tradition that is DBCember. To all at TeamFourStar, as well as TotallyNotMark, I wish you guys a happy and safe New Year in 2022. Thanks for the memories, and Happy New Year🥳

So insane to see Mark with the folks at TFS. Been watching him for a long while and I LOVE his stuff. I hope he's doing okay...

1:01:46: I guess Mark took Kaiser's breakdown to heart.

Can't wait for HeroAca-Hanukkah next year! Seriously though, thanks for the great content through the years, can't wait to see what's next for TFS.

Here it is… the final DBcember compilation video. It is the end of an era, but I’m glad that for so many years we were all able to come together and have amazing conversations about Dragon Ball year after year with these mad lads at the helm of it all. Thank you TFS for giving us a tradition that will continue to stay in our hearts and minds forever, and may we always revisit these videos when we all feel like we need some joy and Dragon Ball content!

Start of December I was really looking forward or wonder where Dcember was only to be reminded it was over, the revelation was a real sad one

Happy New Year to the entire crew of TFS and of course to Totally Not Mark

I need a full DBZ Christmas album now. Look what you've done...

miss you guys, dbcembers were awasome.

Truly a wonderful series.

2023 just doesn't feel the same without DBcember.

Might as well make my own list if you guys are done with DBCember. TOP 12 GOOD THINGS FROM DRAGON BALL GT #12 The Animation - Having been working on the franchise for a decade by this point, this animation team has slowly grown over time and improved their work to a point that makes plenty of GT’s animation look stunning. Character designs are also very top notch, and we can thank Toriyama for helping with initial character designs. #11 The Original Japanese Score - Kikuchi is a tough act to follow, but I think Akihito Tokunaga really pulled off some really fantastic tunes on his run, especially the banger that is Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku and the tear-jerkingly beautiful ending Sabitsuita Machine Gun. #10 Goten and Trunks as Adults - Let’s be real, the fact fact that these two remain kids in Super is just moronic. In GT meanwhile, we see Trunks become President of Capsule Corp, but yearn to have a little freedom and excitement. Needless to say he gets it with his tour of the galaxy with Goku and Pan. Plus, he ain’t half bad when it comes to tools. Goten in the meantime, gets a very unique girlfriend (by Saiyan Standards) in Valeese, and I really like that he just doesn’t end up with someone who has a fiery personality like Chi-Chi or Videl. Sure, I do think it’s a shame Goten was left behind on Earth and we never see them as Gotenks, but I appreciate them doing something new with these characters. #9 The Universe Building - I hate the multiverse concept of Super mostly because they only do the bare minimum of it. IMO, the TOP doesn’t really feel any different from the Other World Tournament on a larger scale thanks to the variety of fighters. GT actually gives enough of a damn to actually explore a post Frieza Force universe and show us all the new things that came up in the Quarter Century since he and his father died on Earth, including the dictatorship on Imecka, the Cult of Luud, a full blown hospital planet, and the potential mechanical empire of Dr Myuu. They really did put a good amount of effort into this Universe Building and I greatly appreciate it. #8 Vegeta being a Total Dad - I’m gonna be short here, but any interactions between Vegeta and Bulla are just hilarious to me, whether her complaining that his mustache makes him look like a total geek or when he yanks the steering wheel out of the car of those teens flirting with Bulla, Vegeta is dedicated to his little Saiyan Princess. #7 Making the Dragon Balls Vital to the Narrative - While they served the driving force of the narrative up to the Namek saga, from Cell all the way into Super, the Dragon Balls have been reduced to a mere mcguffin to fix any problems our heroes face. Heck, the wishes they want in Super, whether it’s asking Shenron about the SSG, Healing Pan’s cold, Bulma making herself younger, or Frieza pulling a Commander Red, is just an embarrassing use of them. GT however, raises the stakes with the negative effect of the Black Star Balls and thus give them central focus on the first arc of GT. And of course there’s also the Shadow Dragons, an amazing concept even if it wasn’t executed the best until, in my opinion, Naturon. #6 The Concept of Baby and the Tuffles - Baby’s story is one of revenge, and it’s pretty effectively done with turning nearly the entire population of Earth against our heroes, pushing Goku to the point where he nearly dies, and providing backstory of the Saiyans homeworld before their ultimate demise. It is a little over convoluted admittedly, so that does keep it out of the top 5. #5 Piccolo’s Sacrifice - In my mind, this is Piccolo’s best Death. We see him save a little boy and his dog before helping Goku, giving a heartfelt goodbye to Gohan, and choosing to die with the Earth so the Black Star Balls can never be used again, leaving actual consequences. Plus his death actually helps Goku with escaping Hell in the Super 17 arc. #4 A Hero’s Legacy - Let’s be honest, this Special was only left out of TFS’s Top 24 Movies and Specials because of Kaiser’s Hate-On for GT, but if they included it, I think it would definitely be above the bottom third of the list. I enjoyed seeing Goku Jr grow in Courage and Strength on his journey to Mt Paozu, rightfully earning Super Saiyan when he needed it against Yaō, and its ending of him meeting Goku and receiving the 4 Star Ball is just beautiful. #3 The Transformations - Goku becoming a Golden Oozaru is a big deal since it’s the first time we’ve seen the Oozaru since the Saiyan Saga in Z, and Goku specifically since the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. And thanks to Pan’s heartfelt words (side not, I don’t think Pan is annoying in GT), he is also able to regain himself and achieve Super Saiyan 4, the best transformation narratively when it comes to defining Saiyans as Alien Monkeys. There’s also the absolute power trip of SSJ4 Gogeta, if only he didn’t mess around with Omega Shenron that much. #2 Goku’s Characterization - Say what you want about Goku becoming a kid again, but he’s shown here as a very tactical fighter, cares immensely for his friends and family, and accepts the responsibility of his actions and does his best to correct them! GT understands how a post Buu Goku should act way better than Super ever does! #1 The Finale - Like everyone else, I agree that GT’s finale is the best in the series. The Universal Spirit Bomb is the perfect move to take down Omega Shenron, Goku leaving with Shenron feels right, as is Earth finally recognizing him as a hero 100 years later. Speaking of, we see the next generation of Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr show that Earth will be in good hands. But if darkness ever truly falls, we know Goku, now a spiritual guardian of the Dragon Balls, will return.

1:01:47 The irony is that thanks to Marks himself you get to sort of get at least to tell a small part of Buu saga now

I miss Launch 😢 I wish she was in Z more than just a cameo. Oh, great video, guys

1:17:12 “Hey guys look! It’s my Chiaotzu impression! GOODBYE TIE-“ bro that had me dying (just like krillin)

Watching again this year. Continuing the tradition!

4th Doctor: "It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for."

I love MistareFusion. So glad he got mentioned.

I loved the red ribbon saga and I think it’s one of Toriyama favorite’s too as there’s still consequences from his arc that keeps showing up in Super and Superheroes. But mostly the true show of love from the author to that saga is how he brought back all those friends Goku made during that arc for the final genkidama in what we believe at the time to be the last major fight of Dragon Ball. If that’s not a love letter to that arc then what is?

I’m so glad I finally watched og Dragonball this past year in time for this DBcember. I was shocked how much I loved it and it allowed me to really appreciate everything here. Kaiser’s passion for it always intrigued me but it was Mark’s review series that finally got me to do it. Thanks to both of you. And Lani. I’m gonna miss this series.

When you think about it, the ultra divine water might've boosted Goku's power a lot more than it should've because his saiyan dna gives him zenkai boosts, it almost kills him after he drinks it, which he does hours after losing to King Piccolo. Yeah, it's a retroactive explanation but its still an explanation

The Dark Tournament is by far the best tournament arc. A lot of good moments and it set the standard to people will go to these things and not care about their lives

Thanks for sharing your favorite (damn near every) Dragon Ball moments with us during the holidays for all these years. Hope to see more from you guys, be it Dragon Ball or otherwise.

Was waiting for the full series upload. Lets go

Ironic how the whole intro is about them needing a third person, but as of December 4th 2022 they’re doing a commentary of DBZ Abridged with just Scott and Nick

11:22 YYYYYYEEEAA BOIIIIII! that split second of gta music with my boy lookin fly...

There are so many things fans have already said on pretty much all your videos but. Thank you team four star for all the gags and quirks of everything youve done. Its to you guys that had made me start a channel of my own (even if i havnt done anything in a while) im happy i could enjoy your work thank you.

watching this again i can only remember all the years i spend watching the material you produce and how it make me feel happy even in the worst moments. Its weird for me to say this even if i dont know you in person but i love you guys. Thank you so much for all

It has been a Pleasure. Thanks for providing this Series and many heartfelt Videos for us all. Cheers to the worthy Finale of DBCember and a happy new Year!

47:38... Ahh dang. Oh well, at least I got to saw them on the original release

I like to imagine that after Kiren got pissed about GT he went to go work off some steam being a detective with Grant lol

Wow. Great vid. Y'all's DBCember/DBZ content has been fodder for my brothers and I to reference for years, crazy to see it come to an end but grateful that we got to be here for it. Merry new years, happy holidaze 🖖🤙

I did not see this DBcember when it came out. I stopped watching TFS almos 2 years ago, but I have been loving watching Lanni and Kaizer watch their previous episodes, so I decided to watch the content that I have missed these 2 years. I did not know that this was the last DBcember, it was a great idea. I love all the work you guys do. Keep at it!!!

Watching these again knowing this Christmas season wont the same without it hits different man..

I can’t put into words what this channel, you guys, and your series mean to a lot of the community, myself included. I’m still going to keep an eye on the channel, binge DBZA at least twice a year, and all the DBcembers New Year’s Eve, but I wanted to wish you good luck in all your endeavors and a Happy New Year.

oh man, december is gonna feel different in the future. Thanks for all the wonderful dragonball content, it's been an absolute blast

Nearly 2 years later and it's still a gut punch that there won't be any more countdowns. Thank you for all the wonderful memories.

It’s been a whole year since this one, and it still hurts that it’s the last… but it’s also so beautiful. Thanks you guys. For all the love and laughter. Always.

Always leave them wanting more. I respect the decision to end on a high note. There are only so many lists you could make and rather than try and mine the idea to death you did quality work and bowed out. Respect.

Farewell DBcember, you have made these years amazing!! TFS and the Guests that have shown up are awesome and I hope that yall continue to create great content!! 🙏👍😎😁

I would argue that Veggie probably needed the ole “pat-pat”… He is waaaay too tense.

1:01:46 Somehow a couple years later I only now just realized Kaiser was begroaning ending DBZA on the cell arc. Thank god the buu bits exist now but... man.

30:00 that car is looking mighty explodable rn bro.

From 2014's Iconic moments to 2021's Sagas, DBcember has always been enjoyable to watch every December. Although this is the last DBcember, these vidoes always makes me laugh and they're just amazing, top notch. Dragon Ball has always keep me entertained to this day, and TFS did a fantastic job. So long DBcember and Happy New Year to both TeamFourStar and Totally Not Mark.

So, I just got to them talking about the red ribbon army saga and how it ends with Goku seeing his grandpa again. And it reminded me that... I watched this back after my grandpa died and that I would totally feel the same emotion Goku felt if I got to see my grandpa again one last time. Just, the amount of emotions man...

While this is only the second DBcember that I've watched as it's come out, and I've watched the rest of them countless times and I'm going to miss looking forward to it at the end of the year. side note: I've watched you guys since Naruto/YuYu Hakusho/Lupon the 3rd/G Gundam abridged and watching you all grow so much and becoming masters of your art has been magical. I can't wait to continue to see what TeamFourStar does next

This series was entertaining for so many years. Great work

Can't believe that it hasn't even been a year yet. Just finished rewatching all the DBcember videos and watching this ending again... I don't really have words for it. It just, hurts. Like a warm, hollow ache in my chest. I always forget how much Dragonball and, by extention, DBZA meant to me. You understand *why* it's over, but that doesn't make it not hurt.

My first DBcember and it's the last one. Well, at least I have years worth of them to watch later!

Watching this on New Years Eve as 2022 is mere minuted away was...certainly an experience. Thanks for all the laughs and deep thinking all of y'all have gotten out of me over the many DBCembers. Thank you for everything. Happy New Year, everyone.

So long DBcember, you will never be forgotten.

Had to come back and watch. I miss dbcember so much.

Happy New Years Everyone! Thanks for all the DBcember’s throughout the years TFS!

Thank you TFS for all the wonderful memories filled with Love and Laughter. I'm thankful that as DBCember progressed your opinions on certain entries has softened. Sure some are right to be criticized, but going from 2014's Dbcember where GT was left out entirely and treated as not worthy of being on the list "because it sucked" To slowly allowing future videos to elaborate on what GT had that DID work (in concept) and even allowing 1 section from 2020's entry to be dedicated and talked about by a GT fan. It really shows that not every opinion is set in stone and that they can soften and be re-evaluated to a degree. and I'm happy you guys have at least welcomed GT as a "it's not good, but it has some worth to it" instead of being like certain opinions where they trash something and declare it as "This is Garbage and Here's Why". Also I'm so happy you guys are helping Mark out by plugging his channel and his reviews to help them through the rough patch they are in. This is what being in a community should be about, helping each other however we can. Love and Laughter always

Who’s here, watching all DBCembers as one for this years DBCember. I’ll miss it, it’s been a tradition for years and I’ll forever hold TeamFourStar dear and near. Love you guys.

So long DBcember. You were a fun ride. Here's to a happy new year TFS and thanks again for the wonderful content.

Something about DBCember that I wasn't expecting, was it made me re-frame GT in my mind. Full disclosure: I've never actually fully watched GT. I saw what episodes I could when it was on Nicktoons, but that left a lot of holes that I never bothered to fill. But hearing you guys talk about Baby and the Shadow Dragons in your villains countdown, as well as Kiran's love letter to Super Saiyan 4 in the Transformations countdown, it inspired me to go back to GT and watch it from start to finish. And I'm really happy that you guys did.

Pretty late to the party but loved checking on these while in school and as a adult working it's one thing I love about December

Thank you for the amazing journey over the years

This has been a fun ride guys. Thank you for the great content and memories.

I just barely it's December of 2022 and we didn't get DBcember😭😭😭 Miss it so much

Screw you guys for making me all emotional , I know its November of 2022 but missing out on a DBcember list this year and knowing that after its been basically tradition to watch for these past few years made me tear up, the fade out, the farewell, Scott's speech at the end... Thank you TFS again for providing an idiot like me with so much time and joy, like always

Its been a good run with DBCember thank y’all for making the the end of the year an awesome ride these past few years

just this ovwer view of the red ribbon ending literally has me emotionally as hell wild how much of an impact this youtube show had on my teenage years gonna miss it but still look forward to your new creations, they may not look the same as dbza but you still bring the same entertainment to the table!

I fucking love you guys. Still holding out for a Top 12 Curbstomps and Top 12 Outfits video someday

You’ll be eternally missed and I thank u for giving me so many spectacular holidays to look forward to

Thanks for this. Happy New Year.

The end of an era. While I am glad you guys are getting more "official" (whatever that means, not meaning that in a bad way) work, like the Hells dub, TFS to me will always be known as the creators of a fan-based parody. I know you guys will continue to put out great work like your TFS at the table content and Unabridged because you put so much love and passion into things like DBZA and DBCember. I am sure that one day your original content will be loved by fans enough that they do their own fan-based parody of your content. Keep rockin on.

Hey Scott if you read this and if it was your editing this go around too (obviously appreciate everyone's takes too) I gotta say great job squeezing various instrumentation for makafushigi adventure into this list so many times. It is both the first and best opening for dragonball and I really appreciate that piano mix going on in the background during the wrap up and being the first opening somehow it feels better for wrapping this up. Well done everyone from tfs from your abridged to your other projects to your dragonball takes it actually got me into the series. Thank you for sharing this wonder with us all through your creativity hard work and raw love of this property. I'm excited to see what you guys do next and I don't mind waiting for it. Take your time every time I look at something coming out on this channel I feel proud to see that some of my favorite entertainers are growing. Thanks guys and to whatever the future may bring raises coffee cup for cheers*

What insane timing. I was hoping for a compilation

Japanese audiences weren't the only ones getting to see Dragonball before DBZ. And yeah, that 4 year time skip to adult-ish Goku was a shock, to be sure!

This was one hell of a goodbye gonna miss DBcember but so much to agree with and discuss thank you for all the great moments that I’ll never forget 👌🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💚🔥

Wow...just got to "that" part of the video and you guys couldn't have said it better.... Love and Laughter Always.

Happy New Year TFS, every one of you continue to be an important part of my life and I am so thankful for all the amazing entertainment you've brought to us all over the years. Here's to much more in the future!

Sadly an end of an era but I wish you guys the best going forward

Farewell DBcember pretty sad but good work Team four star. but my favorite arcs for are 23 tournament, sayion arc, Frieza arc, cell arc.

(2015 to 2021) Thank you DBcember… 😔🙏

Goodbye DBcember, looking forward to the future content of TFS. And most importantly, best of luck to Mark (TotallyNotMark) in his situation. To not beat a dead horse, RU-vid please fix your infrastructure. Protect your creators, don’t punish those who keep your platform alive.

it was hard not to cry at the end of this. Thank you TFS you helped me fall in love with dragonball over and over and over again,

One last goodbye to this yearly tradition, it'll be missed

Thank you TFS for making me always remember why I adore dragon ball and why it has impacted me and why you have all impacted me
