The last of the solo Taka commentaries. The end of an era
And the beginning of a new one
Is it? He still hasn't covered the movies Lani and Kaiser did before he joined in. Would hate to miss out on his commentary for Tree of Might, Slug, etc
@@KostyaComm Oh, that's true. I hadn't thought of that. I just knew that this was the last one of the normal episodes
@danielkhoury5339 I mean he could just decide to skip them. Hopefully he doesn't but maybe he thinks it's not worth doing
@@KostyaComm I think they released his Tree of Might commentary
Krillin got so far from "Boobs! I mean, Bulma!" to "I wasn't distracted by her eyes."
His relationship with Marron taught him not to focus on looks alone
It's the distinction from "high school crush" to "actually falling for someone"... and it's both awkward and honest.
@@Saxdude26 he learned alot from the cave too.
"That boy can't handle his grapes"
I love being casually reminded that Roshi was Goku's teacher and spent a ton of time with him when Goku was a child
Roshi would have basically raised Goku after Gohan died.
What I love about it is that it implies Goku has something akin to an allergic reaction regarding Grapes and Bulma, who should know this, STILL made the medication grape flavoured.
@@TheDark4lightOh you'd be surprised how long you can know someone and not know their allergies.
@@Darchias Bulma traveled the world with him and they spent significant chunks of that having personal interactions for a lot of basic life topics. If Roshi knew then Bulma would've too, she was his caregiver for the majority of Dragon Ball.
@@Darchiasyou'd be surprised how long you can be someone and not know about your allergies
Thanks for watching me play Catch-up. Serious shout out to the editor who had to deal with my volume issues.
Loved working on this show, we would stay up to 2-4 am some nights going to work the next day at 6. Genuinely sacrificed over half of my 20’s to the project & others. Thank you all for caring about what I had to say and thank you to all those who enjoyed my abundant passion for being silly.
It's been a pleasure
Sure, I love it, who you lol?
You’re the man Taka; thank you for the content and energy^^b
@@davidramirezrodriguez3373that's the guy from the video you watched?
@@darthvolcaniz503It's been... A trip
The fact that bulmas mom's VA changes a couple times reaaaaaaaally makes the effed up clone side plot a bit more effed up
"awww but cells are boring!"
"I'm bored. you're boring me"
what a great callback many miss.
Also a callback to TFS!Goku's line to Frieza.
@@ChronoHarvester yup lol
That “Oh no” delivery from Krillin is amazing. I quote it to myself when shit happens.
(spoilers for TotK, I guess?)
It was the first thing that came to my mind when the Master Sword shatters at the start.
I love how smoothly Piccolo transitions from wanting to conquer the planet, to being enraged with Kami for not acting sooner to save everyone on Earth.
If the world’s destroyed there’s nothing to conquer
I’m gonna go with his Saiyan Saga rationalization: Can’t conquer a planet that’s been destroyed, whether by aliens or cyborgs.
He was just coping with the fact he'd outgrown his original purpose and didn't want to admit he cares about humanity now
That is what Goku does to people. He may not be the sharpest lightbulb in the toolshed, but he manages to bring out the best in everybody around him. With time, even Vegeta changes for the better.
In his mind, it's his planet. Why aren't you taking good care of it, Kami?
I love how the Space Duck joke with 18 was unintentional but they just went with it.
16*
Now I'm wondering what 18 thinks about the whole thing.
@@GmNdWtchr96oh my god... I f*cked a duck... -android 18
@@GmNdWtchr96 "that guy just quacks me up"
@@glebglub
Oh for duck sake!
6:50 - 7:15 - The fact that Arc System Works actually used that "Senzu Bean!" throw as a heal assist in Dragon Ball FighterZ is icing on the cake. LOL
"This is just what happens when you elect a dog as king" cracks me up every time. That is some deep cut lore.
"I don't think it's racist to call the king a son of a bitch"
I like how 17 and 18 both love dark humor, but 17 is sometimes a little too spicy for 18
Its like 18 is ever so slightly more politically correct, so they are both totally cool with killing, looting, destroying...but start making fun of people with dwarfism or saying See You Next Tuesday, or whatever triggers her. Thing is, when she cancels you, you're dead. Except Vegeta.
@@shino4242 I can fully see Veggie saying the smug c*nt line in Trunk's future and immediately dying after.
@@logicaloverdrive8197I'd like to imagine that is what started their rampage. Vegeta just really pissed them off so they decided to kill everyone
@@althelorthat makes so much fucking sense oh my god…
So what you're saying is that 17 needs just a bit more than 18? Their humor is... 18+?
"Shotgun" "Not quite what that means, but keep trying" *muffled click clack* "Oh....I, see."
I cannot underline enough how fucking awesome his Imperfect Cell is.
Dont you mean...perfect?
Definitely one of the most fun for impressions.
"Whenever imperfect cell isn't on screen, people should be asking where's imperfect cell?"
Cell have to be loud and have access to a time machine
"If there was like a dynamic heal in like a video game it would be like that, SENZU BEAN"
...are we gonna tell him what Krillin can do in FighterZ?
I loved the adorable dynamic between 17 and 16. 17 will talk to him like a fully functioning individual, immediately be reminded that 16 is NOT fully functional, and just be *nice* to him after. Like a therapist offering support to a developmentally challenged puppy.
I love how 18 saying "he´s funny" could both be taken as a dig (how 17 saw it) or as her truly thinking her short king was funny (how krillin took it). These guys are really great writers on top of everything else.
i just think its a great way to start off their realitnship, giving ehr a genuine reason to like him and eventually fall in love with him
I'll forever love the interaction between 16 17 and 18.
"All these squares make a circle" is one of my favorite lines. So simple, yet says so much about Popo's state of mind.
I'll never get over how effortlessly 18 just chucks that police car at 22:15. Literally just free throws a whole-ass car into a plateau.
Not even gonna leave someone open for a "that looks like a plateau" joke? Shame on you
Actually that looks more like a mountain.
One good explanation as to why only one Cell comes back to the main timeline is that the destruction of Gero's lab damages the incubator in 99%+ of all timelines.
or even Cell travelling through time caued changes through the other timelines, like how trunks altered time with his own travelling.
From how I understand it:
Timeline A - Android apocalypse. Trunks creates timeline B, kills the androids, and returns here. Cell A kills Trunks and travels to/creates timeline C.
Timeline B - Trunks A helped prevent the androids from causing an apocalypse. Cell B wasn’t found before growing up, but there’s no time machine for him to steal. So Cell B is stuck here and presumably killed later.
Timeline C (the one we’re watching) - Cell A comes here to become perfect. Because of this, everybody finds out about Cell C and Krillin kills him before he grows up. Then Gohan/Vegeta kill Perfect Cell A. Afterwards, Trunks goes back to his timeline knowing Cell is going to try killing him and creates timeline D where he isn’t killed by Cell.
Timeline D - Android apocalypse. Cell D tries to kill Trunks and steal his time machine but, due to timeline C, Trunks knows he’s coming and kills him instead.
So, in short: The Cells in timelines B, C, and D never get the chance to time travel. And Cell A died in timeline C as Perfect Cell.
What gets me is how Trunks is able to travel to a specific timeline. How can he go back to timeline A’s future after creating timeline B or after Cell A created timeline C? How does he not just end up in timeline B/C’s future instead?
@@Death2all546to clarify on that or at least to how he got to go back again
The gist of it is that due to him travelling to the past but AFTER his first arrival meant that the timeline remained stable, if he had travelled back prior to his initial visit to help the z fighters then he would have made yet another timeline. He cannot go back on his own timeline since he can't be at the same place at the same time and he returns to his timeline afterwards due to pretty much "recovering" to his timeline aka p much pressing a go back button + in the future the androids are defeated he doesn't exist so he simply heads back to where he does in fact exist
"Where are the capes? The shoulder pads? The ab armour?"
Funny enough, I have a linen blend cloak I was planning on wearing tomorrow, so all I can say is, *be the change you want to see.*
I didnt know the "cells are boring" comment was a joke until I saw the look on Taka's avatar lol
Yup, another double callback joke. We have Gohan at the end of the Cell Games mimic his father's words to Freiza: "I'm bored, you're boring me." and also call back to this moment here. A+ writing.
Amber played 18 and GILF?? I never would have noticed lmao
13:47 That scene lives rent free in my head. I don’t know how much Kaiser and Taka give themselves credit for that scene, but the mixing and laughter itself makes it one of my favorite end stingers
"The Faulconer team music sucks!" Kaiser: "Challenge accepted."
@@LordofBaysdo you know if It's just an edited version of the imperfect cell theme? Been trying to find that song
literal chills
Same same same can’t express how much I love that scene although my only complaint is mr popo joke at the end of it, you have this great ending scene that was perfect enough and then you come in with a joke I feel it took away the seriousness of the scene it’s not bad but I just don’t like that they did that
Taka singlehandedly proves that you can still be funny and also REALLY easy to make laugh.
Gohan geeking out over the giant bug molt is even better now that Super Hero confirmed that he's an entomologist.
I teach real estate licensing classes, and every time I get the Government Survey System, which uses squares, I quote all these squares make a circle. I get a few people every now and then that get it. Makes me smile every time lol.
Krillin’s “Ohhhhhhh nooooooooo” as Trunks’s sword shattered is a hell of a take. Your party is going full on Leroy Jenkins and there’s no way you can stop it.
I love the respect and reverence Taka shows everyone who has worked on this.
I will forever love your version of the Androids.
it is pretty much how subsequent reads of the series left as an impression with the "they are siblings" not be a reveal, but assumed from the get-go.
More than a unit, they feel like a Family. And that is what they are. They are a Twins and their younger sibling. They love each other.
Imperfect Cell is a full on horror villain, and I love him.
I actually still say Crapbaskets to this day BECAUSE of this abridged. Unironically it has become my new "well shit just hit fan" phrase
Krillin's "Oh-h no..." is one of my favorite line reads.
Something that not many people seem to talk about is the robotic-sounding laugh used for cell at the end of episode 40. It's similar to one of the dubs that gave perfect cell that robotic voice, and it just sounds SOOO damn good on imperfect cell specifically
I LOVE the tragic way you guys portrayed Kamie it was a very depressing situation and it makes u pity him a lot
Hell yeah, the last solo Taka video! Although unfortunately that means we’re almost to the end of the series 😢
Taka actually brought a very interesting thought to my head. Imagine if Piccolo met Cell in the middle of the night. Like a literal nightmare stalker creature creeping up in the shadows. I cannot even imagine how terrifying that would have been.. and the actual scene is scary enough as it is!!!
7:10
Does Taka not know about Dragon Ball FighterZ? Krillin has a healing ability in that game using the Senzu Beans.
He doesn't really, I think the last time he talked about FighterZ was when they did that livestream watch-a-long during the pandemic.
He didn't know that Janemba was on the game and said that that would be his dream character.
My favorite line from the entire series is "Who's got two broken arms and is a total bitch" "This guyyyyy"
Edit: I had no idea Gilf and 18 were voiced by the same person. Their tones and personalities are exact opposites
edit 2: I'm at Taka addressing Kaiser's audio and I cannot stress enough for people who haven't; *listen to the show on a headset.* Scott has made sounds that have literally bounced in multiple directions in my ears.
Honestly I loved how Cell's introduction was handled in the abridged series. While not dead silence like the original dub, which was phenomenal in its own right, you guys still managed to keep his introduction just as creepy and disturbing as the original. Honest kudos to you.
I can never get over how growing up this was a funny show for me, but as an adult revisiting it the things like dr. Briefs being crazy evil just soared right past my head as a kid, which begs to question how the hell I got this far being this dense.
It always struck me as weird that Trunks carried that sword around, that while useful in killing Frieza, was useless against 17 and 18, both in his timeline and this one.
Ehh. It was MORE useless here. But at least they tried to dodge it in his timeline, which certainly made it seem like if he was stronger it'd be a useful weapon.
Frieza was the only villain he could truly flex on, hence the bravado shown in that encounter.
The sword is an ok weapon, dependent on the user more than the item. Since the sword isn't that special, the show doesn't do a good job emphasizing why Trunks loved using it when Ki attacks work just fine.
I think Krillin used to be a very physical features kind of guy when thinking about women, but then when he met 18 he realized he was going about things all wrong and quickly rearranged his priorities.
It helps that his previous girlfriend, who he hooked up with on a purely superficial basis, turned out to be a plant who purposefully, remorselessly put him into crippling debt.
I actually can’t hear krillin’s normal voice anymore it just doesn’t sound right I’m so used to lani’s
Same
It's amusing that Piccolo and Vegeta both sound pretty recognizable compared to their official dub voices, but Krillin is extremely different.
I just realized how perfect the timing of this is. Over here we have the first appearance of Imperfect Cell, while over on the other commentary we just had the "last" appearance of Imperfect Cell.
2:00 the hilarious thing is this is actually fixing a plot hole because the characters actually group up all the time up to this point and now have the excuse of they should've just listened to Krillin.
They group up on Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, Recoome, Guldo, Frieza to name a couple incidents. They just stop ganging up on stronger opponents after this.
It even gets called back later when rather than Android 16 thinking Android 18 should've joined the fight to help 17 she should've run away from the opponent he didn't think he would definitely win.
1:00 Honestly? This is the exact same situation as the Saiyan Saga and they’re making the exact same mistake. They know that the strongest (or two if they don’t want to give Vegeta all the credit. Gods know his ego’s massive enough. No need to make it go Ultra prematurely) aren’t a match for 18 or 17. Is all of them going at them at once without any strategy or real coordination really going to make the difference?
5:13 I quote this pretty regularly.
7:02 Based on one of Taka’s clips, Sonny Strait’s pretty happy too because now he’s got a new quotable that isn’t a Kamehameha.
“If it was a healing ability in a fighting game”. That is what it looks like! The Senzu Bean assist Krillin can use in FighterZ has a chance of giving a “dud” where instead of dealing damage and going away, it drops on the floor for someone to pick up and eat to recover some of their health.
12:53 He’s left the Lookout on at least two instances in DBZA: once to show the remaining protags how to get to Namek and once to gather the Dragon Balls make a wish on Shenron as Kami’s/King Kai’s proxy.
18:15 Here’s the thing though: Bulma had to have known this wouldn’t work. I don’t see how Bulma for having known Goku for years now would have not known that he hated artificial grape flavoring. She was setting him up to fail in so many ways, intentional or not.
21:00 For all Yamcha knows there’s still only the two Androids, 19 and Gero/20. He has no reason to believe that there’s three (four) more.
48:00 Between Nail and Kami reappearing during ToP when Piccolo thought he was going to lose to the U6 Namekians and the zoomed in on Mr. Popo when he threatens to ban Vegeta from using the HTC, I’m convinced that at least one person working at Toei is a stealth fan of DBZA and/or pays really close attention to what DB fans think of certain things about it.
50:44 And that’s just it; it’s only leftovers. The city hasn’t been leveled as it was when Vegeta and Nappa came to Earth. There’s no corpses unlike when the Freeza Force came to Dende’s village. The people here are already dead and gone but there’s no indication of how and no structural damage done. It’s very methodical and otherwise clean, unnaturally so.
AKA the biggest problem with how the series handles power levels, as mentioned by the group in a previous commentary, at least with Raditz and Nappa, the difference in level was still made for a tense fight, with strategy and technique could shift the tide, but once it got to Namek it was a pure numbers game
@@kurosakikun96”With strategy and technique”. I wouldn’t say there was strategy or technique with the Nappa fight. It was mostly desperation and trying a bunch of things and seeing what sticks (which none of them did. The Kienzan might’ve though). The “fight” against the Androids had even less strategy and technique. It was full frontal assault. No coordination, no planning. No way that was going to work.
@Rexaura888 it is initially made to look like several things were going to work against Nappa though, as shown with him being surprised by moves several times across the fight, and several combos were pulled off flawlessly until it came to Gohan's turn, who really shouldn't have been there for the most part, then yeah, the fact that there was no strategy involved in the fight with 17 and 18 kind of proves the point, it all became a numbers game, and everyone that was weaker than the super saiyans just threw up their hands in defeat
Do anybody remember when Trunks replayed the beat down in his POV?
6:50 actually taka in DBZ bt3 yajirobe has an ability that literally does that
36:41 But the time machine was Cell's last hope too.
It was the only way he could achieve perfection.
What if all the Cells cannibalized each other and that's why there's only one?
I want a fan comic where android 18 finds the last country music singer on a desert road and it leans towards him discussing the philosophy over the beauty and purpose of music and she just cuts him off blasting him.
I too would read that.
We finally caught up with Taka's solo commentary.
Is it just me or did they slightly change Piccolo's design after he fused with Kami? As a kid watching the, I always thought they were basically showing us what they look like before they split. Basically revealing Piccolo's true form
TFS's interpretation of Roshi is basically exactly what Toriyama would have done if he didn't have to tone it down.
21:27 DO IT FOR THE VINE!
SENZU BEAN! has been my text notification for years. One of my favourite Krillin jokes.
I LOVE getting to this series when the episodes first drop! Thanks for uploading multiple vids at once taka! Its mad enjoyable! ❤❤
Just what I needed tonight. Imperfect Cell has come... to bring us joy.
WANNA SEE ME DRINK THIS GUY???
With the "Cells are boring"-bit, Kaiser and Lani were also auper proud if it. I never even noticed it until a pandemic-related rewatch. I like the bit with theoretical physics waaay more! It's such a smart little joke, well placed after a bigger plot-drop. I'm all for it!
Takahata is like Scott Summers/Cyclops, he has to keep the sunglasses on or he's gonna manifest The Weary 101 wherever he goes.
He really has achieved the perfect bridge lol. Taka has been in that pose for so long his brain might be upsidedown 😂
There's not a lot of series where I would watch 3 separate creator commentaries multiple times through each, but here we are with DBZA where I've watched the original commentary streams multiple times through and now fully expect to watch these new commentary videos through multiple times as well. Love you guys and your work!
There is about 5% of the time that the only people in the audience laughing are fans of the original Dragonball.
Vegeta: "OH MY GOD, Who doesn't know what marriage is?"
[2 decades earlier] *Goku flies off on the Nimbus, ChiChi cringes and yells*
"NO GOKU, A WEDDING ISN'T....a food...."
Didn't that come back up in super though?
Cool. Thanks for yer hard work soldier. I will miss having 2 different videos to look forward to. However, the three of yall together feels jusssss right.
I like how fast taka caught up with the series😂
Joke's on you, Chi-Chi. If Gohan flies too fast, the GPS will think he's a missile and deactivate.
By all means keep going with the solo commentary. It’s cool that you joined the other guys but at this point I am so used to my mid-week commentary fix. I can’t wait till the weekend😩
I need a pick me up
"Taka Cut, just came out"
YES
So much love man. So much love for all of TFS.
Welching became part of my vocabular after watching this when it aired!
5:30 Cocker Rage Syndrome is a rare seizure disorder, affecting less than 10% of cocker spaniels. It basically causes them to flip out for a few seconds at a time, but being a seizure disorder, it's completely unpredictable and they are left disoriented with no idea of their actions during the fit. Imagine Krillin doing THAT.
Edited for accuracy.
Vaguely related, my aunt has a dog that I think is bipolar or something. Because it will do something kinda like that. You can see a switch flip in its head and it gets all still and growly. And then it will go put itself into timeout away from people until the change passes. Its super weird. The fact that it seems to know that its changed and deliberately puts itself away from people so it won't do anything is really cool. Not a cockerspaniel but I wonder if its something similar.
Good to have Taka caught up now. These were a treat.
20:14 this is my favorite joke out of the whole series, thank you whoever came up with it
25:08
I think the way Time Travel works in this arc is how I would practically always do time travel
Trunks goes back in time, and altering the timeline causes time to split between their timelines
Then when Cell jumps back he effectively doubles them since he jumped back into a timeline where Trunks would come in to
I suppose the question then would be how Trunks managed to go back to the same timeline he'd already altered, which. . Super kind of answers but that answer brings Cell's time travel into question.
Only thing I can think of is that Bulma thought ahead and put in a mechanism to determine what timeline you wind up in?
Edit:
30:50
See, the way it goes, there's four timelines. Timelines A, B, C, and D
Trunks A comes back in time, creating Timeline B out of Timeline A, warns the Dragon Team, leaves, comes back to help out with the Androids and learn some things, there is no time travelling Cell
Cell A kills Trunks A and takes his time machine and heads even further back into Timeline B, turning the Trunks that would come into that timeline into Trunks C, and Timeline B into Timeline D
Or you could think of them as Trunks A-2 and Timeline B-2. The letter codes don't really matter.
Cell's timeline is the original one
Depending on how you look at it, Trunks's timeline is either the third or fourth. He altered the main timeline, but also his timeline technically is no different from Cell's until after Cell is dead, so is A-2 Trunks's timeline actually Timeline C or Timeline D?
Trunks: “Good to see ya.”
Yamcha: “Better to be seen than viewed.”
Now that we have reached the end of the Taka cut, I can say for a fact that I wish I'd been watching it live on Twitch.
But I am also far happier that Taka joined Lani and Kaiser for the sell saga. It was nothing short of a blessing to have the three of you together again in the same room, and it made my heart so happy to see.
"All these squares make a circle..."
Mister Popo wasn't so much tripping as he was, well.....
"I CAN SEE THE FUTUUUUUURE!!!"
At the beginning of the Cell games when Cell is trying to make his perfect arena: "HOW do all of these squares make a circle???"
Nah, it just seems like carving places out using massive ki control tends to make squares into circles.
Which means Popo was that weak, _once._
18:41
I swear, Roshi is like in my Top 3 Favorite Characters for this series. He doesn't get to do or say much, but every line gets a laugh out of me.
The thing I love about the "all these squares make a circle" joke is how it's referenced again in the Cell arc when PC is making his tournament ring and somehow makes a circle out of squares.
You should keep doing these commentaries on your own! I really enjoy your take on what happened behind the scenes and you get to talk more rather than sharing the time with Lani and Kaiser, please keep doing these!! ❤
Or if you're at work, you can hear one namekian in one ear and then silence for a little while
"You ever think TFS should have recast Trunks?"
19:42
that timing with the ad at 9:18 was freaking brilliant lolololol
Fitting that this set of episodes precedes Taka joining Lani and Kaiser in their commentary.
Please keep doing these also!! I watch both commentaries and love them.
MY BRAIN JUST MADE THE CONNECTION. You guys are brilliant at foreshadowing.
I've been thinking about it, and I've never been able to figure out how Gero got his hands on Frieza and/or King Cold's DNA. Neither one was on Earth for enough time before being vaporized, unless Gero's small robot bugs were somehow both sophisticated enough to constantly follow the Z fighters without being noticed, fast enough to dive in and collect DNA samples and then dip back to the lab HUNDREDS, if not THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY, before the sample decayed too much to be viable.
Then I finally remembered that we don't know what happened to Frieza or Cold in Trunk's original timeline.
BUT that means that there's a good chance that the Cell that was going to form in the NEW timeline wouldn't have had Frieza or King Cold's DNA, meaning that there's also a good chance that he never would've reached the same level of Perfect Cell, as he would've been only Namekian, Saiyan and possibly part Human.
I love rewatching DBZA (especially with your commentary) because I'm still noticing jokes that I never recognized. "Oh I think I kicked an alien that looked like that once." Fricking Dodoria... Duh! But I never put the two together.
There is a 10 hour version of "all these squares make a circle" and the best part is that it ends with the rest of the exchange. Like some madlad strung 10 hours of Popo saying "all these squares make a circle" together and then put the "Bitch don't tell me what to do" bit at the end.
Fucking legend.
27:04-27:06
Cell: “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME, YOU HAPLESS LITTLE SH*t???!!!”
Gohan: “I said I'm bored. You're boring me”
9:18 Hard cut to Pheonix Wright getting strangled by an evil toilet dragon lol!
yeah but all of gokus friend wanted to kill him or hurt him badly at one point 8:00
29:11 Just love the small echo tthey have when talking since they are in an enclosed space
Cell was the first major villain I watched when this was on TV. Y’all did This and I cheered so loudly at how y’all did it. S++ tier
0:59 especially because they attacked the androids unprovoked due to actions committed in another timeline!
“Hello BIRD. What is YOUR name?” Is something that I think of maybe two or three times a week. Mostly around birds
Still sad you guys didnt use Phoenix wright music for the detective gohan music
