@handgun559 me too! and if they would want a reason to write it in that's canonical, they could call back to Goku's use of telepathy like in Saiyan Saga
Its just overall good. BTW Mythology Nerds, whats up whit the Fish granting you a Wish? Is there a Folk Tale about it? I saw a few Jokes about that, but I could never figure out the Origin. Was even in Timon and Pumba the Cartoon...
@@Sunaki1000 There's a Grimm Fairy tale as well as Japanese folklore and a few other cultural tales of it honestly i think humans really just like the idea of a wish granting fish.
I feel like Cooler could be canon if they played it like Broly in Super. Freezer is probably the most iconic Villain in all of Dragon Ball that stays a full Villain, so it could be a good segway into Cooler from Freezer, if you have something to differentiate Cooler more from Freezer. That final form is my favourite non Sayain transformation.
i love the subtle dig, that ChiChi isnt "my wife" to him, shes "the beautiful lady who lives in my house"...somewhat ties in with DBSuper's (rather ridiculous) side-joke about Goku not knowing what Kissing is...but i just like how Innocent it is-- like he just assumes that Everyone's house has a beautiful lady inside, to pour maple syrup all over food ("i just always assumed she came with the refrigerator or the stove, like when your burger comes with fries" kinda logic)
@@rtyuik7 right? It works past the surface joke. Fantasizing about food shows his pure heart (especially after the not pure hearted Krillin’s dream with Icarus), and not understanding Chi-Chi’s role in his life tracks with how he ended up marrying her in the first place.
Goku spends a lot more time thinking about ChiChi and her feelings (or cooking skills in this case) when she's not on-screen in DBZA than the original, I swear.
19:08 I love the implication in this line. "I've been called many things, my favourite is Whiskers the wonder cat." He's not giving Goku his true name, just his personal favorite of what others have called him, and I find that hilarious. The delivery is so straight laced, but it's the sort of thing I can see him just... bursting out laughing once Goku leaves.
Honestly, I did not get this at all since I watched it when it was released and just thought that they were referencing Shrek, but recently I finally put it together that it was supposed to be a Donkey Kong reference.
That one's good, but my favorite is, "Ah, look at you-- wasted and gasping for air... But you don't get to go yet. Once your planet is in ashes... *then, you have my permission to die.*" lmao even if it's a reference it's too badass
Toriyama actually had multiple self inserts that he would use for off panel sections (such as Author's Notes) or just directly adding it into his manga (and sometimes the anime) His most prominent one was Tori-Bot, a robot who is neighbors with Arale Norimaki and is writing a manga that his editor is not very pleased with. Tori-Bot also made several cameos in Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and even Dragon Ball Heroes. The most prominent cameo was in Z, where Krillin breaks the fourth wall saying that the artist reused the panels of Gotenks trying to fuse, with Tori-Bot appearing and saying the editor doesn't have to pay him for those pages. However before Tori-Bot, Toriyama's self insert was an anthropomorphic bird who was also struggling to write manga, both due to lack of experience and the fact it's really hard for him to hold a pen, considering it is bigger than he is. So the Toriyama joke has layers upon layers upon even more layers.
The Big Gete Star Tour Robo (or D.V.E.D. as TFS renamed him) also shares a similar appearance to Tori-Bot. Which might also explain the comedy strength he had when he was pulling Yajirobe.
Yeah, Its great seeing Lani always show up in the comments of a lot of reaction videos. I agree! canadian subs should be for a 2nd+ viewing (I personally don't find the subs to be than funny anyways)
Honestly, I think the Icarus reference could've worked if Salza had just said "Flying a bit close to a sun, are we?" without needing to specifically name drop Icarus.
I thought the same! But I do enjoy the Diddy and Donkey jokes since it sort of references that Goku and Gohan are (half-)Saiyans, plus Gohan has a tail in this movie while Goku don't.
yeah for me the thing with that line was that it's a bit long for appearing out of nowhere dropping the “Hello Icarus” helps (also kind of loops back at the end and deals with Salza not knowing Icarus' name)
I also agree. Plus, why would Salza have preexisting knowledge of human Greek mythology (other than there being the obvious potential existence of Space Greek mythology)?
I constantly have "Oh no my Marijuana patch, I mean my carrot patch, yeah" running through my mind. It made me absolutely die watching it as a kid and it holds a special place in my heart lol.
Like I said in the previous upload, God, I love this movie. Some of my favorite lines/jokes are the “Imma kill it” convo and “IMMA PLANT ME A DUMBASS TREE!”
I think this one is much better too. The "Icarus" version seems like it would have been forced. Maybe in practice it could have worked, but whenever Kaiser brings it up I feel quite unimpressed by it. I also prefer that he's addressing Gohan, the person, as opposed to Icarus, the animal. One of these is more important than the other.
@@leakyboat224 I'm inclined to agree. There might be some workshopping that could improve it over the pitch (e.g. for a start, "'allo, kid, Icarus; flying too etc. etc."), but even then I'd say the concept feels like it has a little too much going against it in this context, especially weighed against what they ultimately chose.
It's an obvious joke that feels forced from no pressure other than "I have a character that is / is named _______, so I'm compelled to do ______" if they had went with Kaiser's joke it would've been eye roll inducing while the Diddy/Donkey joke isn't GREAT makes more sense with the characters.
"You must be ice cold!" "No, that would be my father" The way it is written is kind of a throwaway gag but the way the line is delivered implies at least a strained relationship with King Cold. Man I would kill see Cooler, King Cold and Freeza together in HFIL.
> but the way the line is delivered implies at least a strained relationship with King Cold. I'd believe it, prolly resents his father for his favouritism towards freeza
I *still* use '*IMA PLANT ME A DUMBASS TREE*' when I'm talking shit in games. One of your most brilliant lines and one of the best deliveries of the series.

Zoro's name was actually "Zoro" in the Viz manga when they began printing it, but once the 4Kids dub of the anime came out Viz changed it to "Zolo" for consistency. There were only four volumes out by this time, so they went back for the newer printings and changed his name to "Zolo." When the 4Kids dub was cancelled and Funimation began working on their dub, Viz was already 14 volumes in. By the time "Zoro" was used in Funimation's uncut dub, the English manga by Viz was already 17 volumes in which leads me to believe at this point they've just stuck with "Zolo" for consistency ever since.
@markdisalvi1487 They actually fixed some of the names of the Blackbeard pirates in their most recent appearance. Like getting the horse's name correct as "Stronger". Probably got away with it because he'd only been name dropped once twentyh years ago.
You're 100% right. I think though the only reason why Viz never changed back to Zoro in recent times is because it would supposedly be too expensive to reprint millions of copies of near 100 volumes for one name change. Or they're just too lazy to do it.
Trademark and copyright wise Coola, is a lime flavoured cordial in Australia... its the companies No1 selling flavour since 1960s. They maliciously defended it and the recipe is now owned by one of those big brand conglomerates Asashi Breweries
When he cut off Catherine zetas clothes made me feel funny in my pants for the first time. It was such a relief as my progressive parents really wanted me to be gay to show off to to their high society friends but all I wanted was to touch boobles
@markdisalvi1487 that one makes even less sense. It's an obvious reference to Edward Teach, the actual Blackbeard, so how do you not translate it as Teach? Genuinely hilarious that the scanlations are arguably better translations than the VIZ ones
the fact they had too just as much when half the cast did work for funimation, and still was considered a strike, is just shiz, but its youtubes ridiculous content flagger, honestly akira toriyama would totes love the parody, so would Toyotarou, seeing as he started with fan made mangas lol but now that toriyamas son is taking over he seems to understand his fathers forgetfullness
Because Lani asked for the calc, here it is: In the original Revenge of Cooler, it takes about 27 or 28 seconds for him to reach the sun. We'll average that to 27.5 seconds. The distance between the Sun and Earth is 92.528 million miles. We'll round that to 92.5 million miles. To cross the distance of 92.5 million miles in 27.5 seconds, the Kamehameha would have to be moving 3425925.92593 miles per second. We will round _that_ to 3425926 miles per second. Divide that by 60, and you get 57098.7666667 miles per hour. Which should translate to about 8.5 times the speed of light. Because of the shorter nature of DBZA, this is significantly faster than 8.5 times light speed. But I provided the math and the base calculations. So someone else can calc the speed of the Kamehameha in DBZA.
If it’s miles per second, mutiplying by 60 would make it miles per minute. You’d have to mutiply by 3600 to get mph. Even then, lightspeed is ~300 million m/s and he’s going about 150 billion meters in about 20 seconds, giving us at least 7.5 billion m/s. He’s going about 25 times lightspeed in Abridged
When you guys got to the part about Nu Metal in the English dub, it prompted me to mention something. Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan movie features a band called Haji's Kitchen singing a couple of songs most notably Day After Day during the scene Broly no sells Goku's Kamehameha. The singer of that band was a dear mate of mine, Vince Mullins, he passed away a few years ago and I love to pass his memory on in moments like this to people who will forever get to hear his voice through my favourite DBZ movie.
@@RetroIsaac thanks man, he was a lovely dude, made a massive impact on me as a young musician, the guy's voice was on another level. Kinda sucks he never got to see the new Broly movie. I feel like I should have posted this when they get to Movie 8 but the topic came up and I couldn't resist.
Also had his other band “Gravity Pool” featured. They’re song “Reach” plays just after Brolys transformation. One of my favourite songs and scenes in the entire film. Vince had one hell of a voice.
@@pato5226 not many people know that man and fuck it makes me happy to know you do. He was a beautiful soul and I know he'd be thrilled with the appreciation ❤️🔥
I always felt that the "story of my family" joke was a commentary on writers shoving new characters into someone else's canon with ridiculous backstories delivered in exposition dumps. It's a short movie/fanfic, and they need to make us a) take the character seriously, and b) cut us off from asking "If this character is so awesome and important, why haven't we heard of them before?" Cooler's so damned efficient that he gets all that out of the way in a few seconds, and without bothering viewers who clearly won't care anyway.
Does give the idea of him being a no nonsense guy by giving the clipnotes of his family. I also like to think je knows how his and frieza’s race reproduce
One thing I loved about the way you guys wrote cooler was the fact that in Anime if you don't see the body, they are alive. Cooler knows this and wants to make sure they are dead as all dead can be
And it ties up well with his brother complex. Freeza was sloppy about erasing the sayians, so Cooler wants to be damn sure he does the job better than his little brother.
I always liked the "and that's the story of my family" line. I knew immediately what had happened and thought it was great. Also, thank you for correcting "him and I"
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Chris Guerrero is actually my dream casting for if we ever get Moro animated and dubbed. Like I absolutely read the manga with his voice in my head for that character.
I love how they re-wrote Cooler. Don't really remember the original that well, but here he seems to be actually respectful of Goku - if only in the sense of recognizing him as a legit threat - and most importantly he's a graceful loser. Even when he's losing his life, he doesn't lose his cool (heh) and finds solace in knowing he's better than Freeza - which is completely true.
I hate how I have had to explain that joke 4 times in my life, and now anytime the people I've told the joke to predicts something, WE ALL QUOTE IT. Other day, I was experiencing dejon mustard, and I realized what was happening and my mom was ordering food, and I predicted pizza from a place outta town we love, and I said, "ooh ordering Dave's?" She said yea, and, you all know the line.
The French guy Salsa line “ Is that the legendary SUPER SWINE” is the funniest line in all of the DBZA Movies, and I use to say it randomly throughout the day
I think the Icarus joke could have been done by Gohan telling Goku after they get back. “Where is Icarus?” “He flew too close to the sun, dad.” “No! Not my emergency food!”
"And that's the history of my family" got me so abrubtly and hard first time I watched it, I just had to comment when I saw yall questioning it, it was so funny to me
I’ve honestly always felt that Cooler’s first movie is the closest you could get to making canon because it can be slotted in to the three year time skip during the Android Saga. I know it’s ultimately not canon I’m just saying it’s the one that would mess up continuity the least in my eyes. I’ll always love your “Yeah but his was smaller!” “KNEW IT! HA!” joke! One of your best to me! That had me on the floor the first time I heard it!
Bojack has the most canonable movie. Just ignore that 18 isn't attending this super prize tournament, but my read on that is that she only starts getting money focused to get their family out of kame house
@@MegaHerpthederp I don’t think it could. In Dead Zone Bulma, Roshi and Krillin already know about Gohan, whom they didn’t find out about until the beginning of DBZ, then Raditz shows up and events are set into motion from there. There’s no break in between Gohan meeting his dad’s old friends and being abducted by his uncle. This is why the Garlic Jr Saga is considered non-canon by the fans, well that and the fact it doesn’t happen in the manga.
couldn't Wrath of the Dragon also fit in the canon timeline? The only discrepancy is that it's implied Future Trunks' sword was given to him by Tapion, but it's not outright stated, so that can be ignored.
That whole sub-plot with Korin and Yajirobe throughout the show is probably my next-favorite thing about DBZA behind the refreshing portrayals of Dende, Popo and Cell. Healthy romance never fails to pull at my heartstrings.
I read someone’s interpretation of the two “Freeza needs to accept his mistakes” and “Because I’m a prick“ scenes with Cooler. One scene is what happened, the other is how one of the brothers remember it, and there’s plenty of evidence for both.
The hilarious thing about the "Bulma Enchanto" thing is that it's like that IN THE VIDEOGAME ONLY, in the movie when she introduces herself to Goku, she does say "Bulma Briefs". Same thing for Chichi, in the movie her last name is never stated, it's the videogame that gives her the "McRoberts" last name
Also, the Diddy Donkey joke is DEFINITELY better than the Icarus one, for one simple reason. If cooler is anything like freezer, he MUST have called the Saiyans monkeys a lot
I think it illustrates the difference between the brothers really well, even if it's unintentional. (And it is definitely unintentional.) Cooler is trying to push past his limits and finds the fifth form, possibly the actual second form for his species (since Frieza's fourth form is actually his base form, with the others being power limiters). While Frieza is so preoccupied with Goku that he ends up creating a new form that, while stronger, is just a copy of Super Saiyan that doesn't even do him much good. Maybe if Frieza had unlocked fifth form, his natural talent could've made it stronger than the Saiyan gods!
"This form's so much more powerful! It's BLUE! And it's almost as powerful as the other one, which is RED, but it can actually be sustained." At least the gold Super Saiyan transformations follow a decent pattern. SSJ1: bulked up a bit, everything goes golden, spiky, and angry. SSJ1a: bulked up a bit more, but slower. SSJ1b: bulked up beyond reason, functionally immobile. SSj2: significant boost in speed and power, eyes get more narrow, hair gets swept back somewhat, lightning in the aura. SSj3: another big speed and power boost, hair really long, eyebrows gone, eyes even more narrow, the lightning might as well be a shawl. They're all distinct and memorable, even if 2 essentially becomes the baseline transformation for those who have it.
I swear, there are times in DBZA that I wonder if Mr. Popo was the original God of Destruction. The fact that Popo can bring back a destroyed sun kind of reinforces that thought.
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter Alright then, a different argument: Popo's powers are that of Meme (a power that Saitama's powers are often mistaken for). Beerus's powers are that of Destruction. Popo is thus naturally more powerful, likely to be around the same level as the Grand Priest at minimum, and beyond Zeno at maximum.
Head-canon: Mr. Popo is a retired Zeno. He abdicated, then went to live the rest of existence on some quiet, backwater planet in the middle of nowhere just chilling, getting wasted, and hanging out.
Ah, I've been binge watching this after the death of Akira Toriyama and I just got to the "Toriyama no! You were taken before your time!" And now I made myself sad.
I love the “You must be Ice Cold” “No, that would be my father” bit. It works so well within the context of the show! We never got King Cold’s first name, and “ice” keeps up the cold puns for Frieza’s race. As far as I’m concerned, “Ice” is absolutely King Cold’s first name.
@@Gab8riel yea toriyama decided in the dragon ball universe that last names are barely a thing if at all (probably cause he didnt want to think of any lol) so its likely his name is just Cold for that same vegeta reason you gave
@@2-bitto Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure that 'Briefs' was originally Dr.Briefs' given name, not his Surname. Then everyone started calling Bulma 'Bulma Briefs' and it just kinda stuck. I'm pretty sure that's the case, but it was in a UA-cam video I watched a long time ago, so I could be wrong 😂
I just realised something. The fact that Goku is surpriced to see Cooler, someone who's Ki is on paralell with Frieza, implies that Cooler can control his Ki-levels and was able to hide it when arriving on earth.
This episode holds a special place in my heart because it was my introduction DBZA. I’ll never forget - I was a grad student, and one night, I was looking up random DBZ clips on UA-cam. I then stumbled across this gem and was instantly hooked. It was genius, and it also reignited my interest in Dragon Ball! DBZA eventually became my “study break”. I would stream an episode in between sessions or even late at night before I went to bed. I ended up showing it to my friends who also loved it. We would even quote lines from the show to each other. Now, 10 years later, I STILL enjoy it! So bravo, Team Fourstar. You helped shape my adulthood! EDIT: Also, since this was my intro to DBZA, imagine my confusion at hearing a voice inside Piccolo’s head.
I was exposed to DBZ through DBZA too! There were just too many episodes to sit down and “give it a shot” but watching these made me want to check out the original stuff
Exactly lmao my first experience with actually watching anime was my wife getting me to watch abridged series like yugioh then dbza and hellsing. I like both abridged and original now because of it.
Broke: Watching DBZA before you watch the real DBZ. Woke: Watching all of DBZ just so you can watch DBZA. Bespoke: Watching DBZA and NEVER watching the real DBZ.
To be honest, the abridge is what god me into the entirety of dragon ball as a franchise. I don’t think i would have liked it without you guys so thanks.
24:30 if you want the Icarus flying too close to the sun joke to work, set it up earlier, Like when the Cooler Force was at the camp and were knocking out Gohan, have him, at some point, say "Run Icarus!" or something, have them confirm they know the name with a "What a stupid name for a dragon," then BOOM! Now they know the dragon's name to make the joke.
The Whiskers the Wonder Cat joke led me to eventually make a Khajit character in Skyrim and name him that. I spent that run doing pure unarmed and heavy armor, so I was running around punching and suplexing people to death. That was a ton of fun and OP as hell.
Just a clarification. "Tonight I dine on turtle soup." is from the original animated series, specifically the episode Shredder is Splintered. I appreciate you mentioning your stance on the Canadian subtitles. Every time a reactor tries watching with them on they end up missing jokes in the actual show. iShinobi is definitely a prime example.
- Thanks to Super Hero, Piccolo forgetting about the stretchy arms aged beautifully. - "The Legendary Super Swine" gave me one of the hardest laughs in my life to the point I wish I could forget about it and hear it for the first time again.
29:35 glad you were the first to make the reference that, Piccolo has so many abilities that he forgets about some of them at times. It went Full Circle in the DBS Super Hero Movie, When Krillin had to remind him that, he has the ability to go Giant Form.
You left out my favorite detail with the Yajirobe x Korrin thing. In the movie where they are spending time apart, Yajirobe almost dies, and when he's about to die he realizes how much Korrin means to him and that's when they got back together
You guys are so wrong about the "and that is the entire history of my family" bit not hitting, with the punchline of "don't even get me started again" is one of my favourite jokes you guys have ever done, absolutely killed me first time I heard it. Maybe it's just a me thing, but it's brilliant and you should be happy with it.
The Namekian stretchy arms is one of my favorite techniques in the entire franchise and I feel that it's horribly underused. Just imagine someone fly towards Gohan and they get stopped by Piccolo's hand grabbing them, then pulling them into a kick or elbow or something.
Piccolo does do this move against Krillin. In the final tournament arc of Dragon Ball, Piccolo stretches his arm to grab Krillin's leg and pulls him in to punch Krillin in the face.
For the Icarus line what if instead of Gohan saying "maybe we should be a little more careful" he could have been the one to say the "don't you think you're flying too close to the sun." And then Salza could have still made the Diddy/Donkey joke
Bit of trivia: The actual speeder bike chase is unscored. The music here is the orchestral version of the piece "The Forest Battle". It plays in the movie where Chewbacca and the Ewoks clean house in the big battle, but was re-orchestrated for concert suites. You may remember the finale of the piece used in the Episode 2 trailer.
“Cooler than Freezer? You must be Ice Cold.” That always takes me back to OutKast’s “Hey Ya!” Every time I hear that line, LMAO Edit: (6 months later) I didn’t know anyone had actually responded to this comment. Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who felt that way 😁 I love that song/ album/ artist
I just want to say thank you guys for all you have done! I started with Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged and stuff! You have brought so much laughter to so many of us!
Speaking of the english canadian subs at the beginning, one of my favorite jokes to come out of it was during episode 59 when Cell and Vegeta were in-sync, the subtitles were: Cell: Every word that you've just spoke has made me violently angry! Oh great, I'm agreeing with Vegeta! Look at what you made me do! Vegeta: Every word that you've just spoke has made me violently angry! Oh great, I'm agreeing with Cell! Look at what you made me do! CC Subs: Every word that you've just spoke has made me violently angry! Oh great, I'm agreeing with these two! Look at what you made me do! Watching that episode with the canadian subs for the first time, it was so funny to see.
my favorite canadian subs joke is during the Frieza fight, when Frieza declares the time limit for the first and from that point on there's a constant countdown in the background, even when switching episodes. It's even funnier because the second time Frieza declares how many minutes are left, nearly five minutes have passed
So I never got the Snickers joke, but due to Coolers response I actually thought the real joke was that Goku got Snickers tagline wrong so it still worked.
Thanks for correcting us that the "Tonight, I dine on turtle soup!" line. It's apparently from Episode 5 of the 80s cartoon!
A hats off we must give, to the nitpickers of the world.
For the record, I LOVE Cooler coming out and saying "and that is the history of my family!" It's such an undercut, and I think it lands pretty good

If Cooler ever becomes canon, it would be so poetic if Guerrero was the one who got to voice him. Just to bring things full circle.
They did bring Takahata for one of the voices for xenoverse 2, and Guerrero is more official voice acting now. Definitely could be possible now
If anything ever happens with Cooler's current official VA?
I feel like Cooler could be canon if they played it like Broly in Super.

It’s also just funnier this French alien knows what donkey Kong is more so than a reference to the wings of Icarus legend
@@daltonwilliams1723 Space Nintendo Online
And Gohan has a tail in this movie and is smaller like Diddy while Goku don't have a tail and is bigger like Donkey, so it sorta fits.
Honestly, I did not get this at all since I watched it when it was released and just thought that they were referencing Shrek, but recently I finally put it together that it was supposed to be a Donkey Kong reference.
Coulda had both. Make Gohan say, "Maybe we shouldn't fly so high icarus." and you don't have to change anything with the Donkey Kong line.
I might be in the minority here but "By the end of this, SOMEONE'S corpse is gonna be tied to the bumper of my ship" is my favorite Cooler line.
It’s metal af
That one's good, but my favorite is, "Ah, look at you-- wasted and gasping for air... But you don't get to go yet. Once your planet is in ashes... *then, you have my permission to die.*" lmao even if it's a reference it's too badass
Toriyama actually had multiple self inserts that he would use for off panel sections (such as Author's Notes) or just directly adding it into his manga (and sometimes the anime)
His most prominent one was Tori-Bot, a robot who is neighbors with Arale Norimaki and is writing a manga that his editor is not very pleased with. Tori-Bot also made several cameos in Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and even Dragon Ball Heroes. The most prominent cameo was in Z, where Krillin breaks the fourth wall saying that the artist reused the panels of Gotenks trying to fuse, with Tori-Bot appearing and saying the editor doesn't have to pay him for those pages.
However before Tori-Bot, Toriyama's self insert was an anthropomorphic bird who was also struggling to write manga, both due to lack of experience and the fact it's really hard for him to hold a pen, considering it is bigger than he is.
So the Toriyama joke has layers upon layers upon even more layers.
Huge if true!
Tori-bot also shows up in the videogame "Blue Dragon" as a merchant.
The Big Gete Star Tour Robo (or D.V.E.D. as TFS renamed him) also shares a similar appearance to Tori-Bot.
Which might also explain the comedy strength he had when he was pulling Yajirobe.
I really appreciate Lani asking people to stop telling reactors to turn on the Canadian subs every single time
Eh now, I’m Canadian and that makes me a bit slooooow so I need da real subs just to understand the space monkey fights doncha know, eh

Honestly, I think the Icarus reference could've worked if Salza had just said "Flying a bit close to a sun, are we?" without needing to specifically name drop Icarus.
I thought the same! But I do enjoy the Diddy and Donkey jokes since it sort of references that Goku and Gohan are (half-)Saiyans, plus Gohan has a tail in this movie while Goku don't.
yeah for me the thing with that line was that it's a bit long for appearing out of nowhere dropping the “Hello Icarus” helps (also kind of loops back at the end and deals with Salza not knowing Icarus' name)
I also agree. Plus, why would Salza have preexisting knowledge of human Greek mythology (other than there being the obvious potential existence of Space Greek mythology)?
@@Malysitos Why does he have pre-existing knowledge of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong?
@@Pirateking536 Because of the Space Donkey Kong Country games, of course
"I'mma plant me a dumbass tree!" is easily one of my top three favorite lines in DBZA.
High in vitamin dumbass with the super saiyan soup is my top favorite funny enough it was Frieza who said it
"oh my God, you can grind meat on it, baahh" is one for me.
I constantly have "Oh no my Marijuana patch, I mean my carrot patch, yeah" running through my mind. It made me absolutely die watching it as a kid and it holds a special place in my heart lol.
Rest In Peace Toriyama. You were a legend
As one of the writers for the Canadian subs seeing them recognized made me VERY happy
The one thing I'm sad is that Broly movie no longer Has its Canadian subs, I remeber seeing it years ago but had no clue what happened to it
Not gonna lie, when I heard Chris' voice for the first time I told Kaiser "Damn that's sexy."
For real
Like I said in the previous upload, God, I love this movie. Some of my favorite lines/jokes are the “Imma kill it” convo and “IMMA PLANT ME A DUMBASS TREE!”
Hands down the best moments.
The fact that those lines became huge memes in the DBFZ scene too after Cooler was dropped as a DLC character was great
Definitely "Hello Diddy, where's Donkey?"
It works with Freeza and Cooler referring to the saiyans as monkeys.
I think this one is much better too. The "Icarus" version seems like it would have been forced. Maybe in practice it could have worked, but whenever Kaiser brings it up I feel quite unimpressed by it. I also prefer that he's addressing Gohan, the person, as opposed to Icarus, the animal. One of these is more important than the other.
119th'ed
@@leakyboat224 I'm inclined to agree. There might be some workshopping that could improve it over the pitch (e.g. for a start, "'allo, kid, Icarus; flying too etc. etc."), but even then I'd say the concept feels like it has a little too much going against it in this context, especially weighed against what they ultimately chose.
It's an obvious joke that feels forced from no pressure other than "I have a character that is / is named _______, so I'm compelled to do ______" if they had went with Kaiser's joke it would've been eye roll inducing while the Diddy/Donkey joke isn't GREAT makes more sense with the characters.
Maybe a short Gohan line about flying too close to the sun could have worked while falling lol
"You must be ice cold!"
"No, that would be my father"
The way it is written is kind of a throwaway gag but the way the line is delivered implies at least a strained relationship with King Cold.
Man I would kill see Cooler, King Cold and Freeza together in HFIL.
Good news my dude
GUESS. WHAT. BOTH OF THEM ARE IN HFIL AND THEY ARE HAVING A GODDAMN TOURNAMENT ARC!!!
Shenron: “Your wish is granted”
> but the way the line is delivered implies at least a strained relationship with King Cold.
I'd believe it, prolly resents his father for his favouritism towards freeza
I *still* use '*IMA PLANT ME A DUMBASS TREE*' when I'm talking shit in games. One of your most brilliant lines and one of the best deliveries of the series.
That line made me wish even harder that DBFZ would have had TFS voices as an option. I would have paid like $20 for that. Not even close to joking.
i’ve found myself quoting dbza moments in what could just be playing certain game randomly, like the “he couldn’t quite tolerate my dulcid tones,my choice in venacular!- and my particular method of… ar-tee-cu-la-tion…” while playing mario odyssey in october lol.

Zoro's name was actually "Zoro" in the Viz manga when they began printing it, but once the 4Kids dub of the anime came out Viz changed it to "Zolo" for consistency. There were only four volumes out by this time, so they went back for the newer printings and changed his name to "Zolo." When the 4Kids dub was cancelled and Funimation began working on their dub, Viz was already 14 volumes in. By the time "Zoro" was used in Funimation's uncut dub, the English manga by Viz was already 17 volumes in which leads me to believe at this point they've just stuck with "Zolo" for consistency ever since.
@markdisalvi1487 They actually fixed some of the names of the Blackbeard pirates in their most recent appearance. Like getting the horse's name correct as "Stronger". Probably got away with it because he'd only been name dropped once twentyh years ago.
You're 100% right. I think though the only reason why Viz never changed back to Zoro in recent times is because it would supposedly be too expensive to reprint millions of copies of near 100 volumes for one name change. Or they're just too lazy to do it.
Trademark and copyright wise Coola, is a lime flavoured cordial in Australia... its the companies No1 selling flavour since 1960s. They maliciously defended it and the recipe is now owned by one of those big brand conglomerates Asashi Breweries

@markdisalvi1487 that one makes even less sense. It's an obvious reference to Edward Teach, the actual Blackbeard, so how do you not translate it as Teach? Genuinely hilarious that the scanlations are arguably better translations than the VIZ ones

Because Lani asked for the calc, here it is:
In the original Revenge of Cooler, it takes about 27 or 28 seconds for him to reach the sun. We'll average that to 27.5 seconds. The distance between the Sun and Earth is 92.528 million miles. We'll round that to 92.5 million miles. To cross the distance of 92.5 million miles in 27.5 seconds, the Kamehameha would have to be moving 3425925.92593 miles per second. We will round _that_ to 3425926 miles per second. Divide that by 60, and you get 57098.7666667 miles per hour. Which should translate to about 8.5 times the speed of light.
Because of the shorter nature of DBZA, this is significantly faster than 8.5 times light speed. But I provided the math and the base calculations. So someone else can calc the speed of the Kamehameha in DBZA.
~21 seconds in the DBZA version
If it’s miles per second, mutiplying by 60 would make it miles per minute. You’d have to mutiply by 3600 to get mph.
Even then, lightspeed is ~300 million m/s and he’s going about 150 billion meters in about 20 seconds, giving us at least 7.5 billion m/s. He’s going about 25 times lightspeed in Abridged
I know this is 10 months old but wouldn't you multiply by 60?
I came up with 16.7 Bil/mph with some rough 20 second math.
Thank you for your service I did not want to have to do that math
When you guys got to the part about Nu Metal in the English dub, it prompted me to mention something.
Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan movie features a band called Haji's Kitchen singing a couple of songs most notably Day After Day during the scene Broly no sells Goku's Kamehameha.
The singer of that band was a dear mate of mine, Vince Mullins, he passed away a few years ago and I love to pass his memory on in moments like this to people who will forever get to hear his voice through my favourite DBZ movie.
Awww dude, I love that scene! I'm so sorry to hear he passed. May he rest in peace.
@@RetroIsaac thanks man, he was a lovely dude, made a massive impact on me as a young musician, the guy's voice was on another level. Kinda sucks he never got to see the new Broly movie.

Also had his other band “Gravity Pool” featured. They’re song “Reach” plays just after Brolys transformation. One of my favourite songs and scenes in the entire film. Vince had one hell of a voice.
@@pato5226 not many people know that man and fuck it makes me happy to know you do.
He was a beautiful soul and I know he'd be thrilled with the appreciation ❤️🔥
Damn. I don't know the band or the man, but I can hear his voice as soon as I think of the original Broly movie.
I always felt that the "story of my family" joke was a commentary on writers shoving new characters into someone else's canon with ridiculous backstories delivered in exposition dumps. It's a short movie/fanfic, and they need to make us a) take the character seriously, and b) cut us off from asking "If this character is so awesome and important, why haven't we heard of them before?"
Cooler's so damned efficient that he gets all that out of the way in a few seconds, and without bothering viewers who clearly won't care anyway.
Does give the idea of him being a no nonsense guy by giving the clipnotes of his family. I also like to think je knows how his and frieza’s race reproduce
Back by
I just think it's funny bc they had the whole conversation while under water so we couldn't hear it
One thing I loved about the way you guys wrote cooler was the fact that in Anime if you don't see the body, they are alive. Cooler knows this and wants to make sure they are dead as all dead can be
And it ties up well with his brother complex. Freeza was sloppy about erasing the sayians, so Cooler wants to be damn sure he does the job better than his little brother.
Guerrero’s voice is downright iconic. I legit recognized him in Overlord and Genshin, just didn’t believe it was him.

It's depressing they felt a lot of these jokes needed explaining.

Yeah, it does 😢
More ironic then anything really
“Flying too close to the sun, boy?” And since Gohan cries out for Icarus, it makes the bit work.
Yeah he could have heard Gohan say icarus
Then a guitar riff from Carry On My Wayward Son plays as Icarus falls.
Besides, Diddy is Donkey Kong's nephew, not his son.
Yeah, not so many opportunities to say that line. I think there’s be more opportunities for the Diddy Donkey line.
objectively wrong
I love how they re-wrote Cooler. Don't really remember the original that well, but here he seems to be actually respectful of Goku - if only in the sense of recognizing him as a legit threat - and most importantly he's a graceful loser. Even when he's losing his life, he doesn't lose his cool (heh) and finds solace in knowing he's better than Freeza - which is completely true.
He throws all that out in the next movie tho, guess the whole experience of dying and undying got to him
In the original movie he treats Goku like a legit threat and doesn't play around.
The amount of times I’ve used the “somebody better pick up that phone” line irl is far too many to remember 😂😂😂
An individual of culture I see
I hate how I have had to explain that joke 4 times in my life, and now anytime the people I've told the joke to predicts something, WE ALL QUOTE IT.
Other day, I was experiencing dejon mustard, and I realized what was happening and my mom was ordering food, and I predicted pizza from a place outta town we love, and I said, "ooh ordering Dave's?" She said yea, and, you all know the line.

RIP English Canada subtitles for Broly. They were in a league of their own and, just like the Shamoian’s safe word, they’ve been lost to time. 😢
*Vegeta fapping to broly’s coolness.*
I miss the loading bar for Broly declaring his power to be maximum.
Wasn't it because pedophiles were putting hidden messages to eachother in videos about kids?
The Shamoshian safe word is “Please don’t have sex with me”
I remember when Goku said "Good job Broly", Broly's happy _Mm_ had the subtitle "(Why can't we be friends)"
I think its sweet that Goku puts Krillin above his two emergency foods in priority.
The French guy Salsa line “ Is that the legendary SUPER SWINE” is the funniest line in all of the DBZA Movies, and I use to say it randomly throughout the day
Love the fact that salza says "if you strike me down I will only get stronger" at 29:45
I think the Icarus joke could have been done by Gohan telling Goku after they get back. “Where is Icarus?” “He flew too close to the sun, dad.” “No! Not my emergency food!”
Somehow the delivery of the 'But... whai?' always kills me 😅
"And that's the history of my family" got me so abrubtly and hard first time I watched it, I just had to comment when I saw yall questioning it, it was so funny to me
It got you hard? Jokes aside, It’s one of my favorite jokes in the film.
the toriyama bird bit now hits different
I’ve honestly always felt that Cooler’s first movie is the closest you could get to making canon because it can be slotted in to the three year time skip during the Android Saga. I know it’s ultimately not canon I’m just saying it’s the one that would mess up continuity the least in my eyes.
I’ll always love your “Yeah but his was smaller!” “KNEW IT! HA!” joke! One of your best to me! That had me on the floor the first time I heard it!
It's Gohan's tail growing back that doesn't add up. I swear they always have to add *one* thing that doesn't add up lmao.
Bojack has the most canonable movie. Just ignore that 18 isn't attending this super prize tournament, but my read on that is that she only starts getting money focused to get their family out of kame house
Dead zone could also work within the canon.
@@MegaHerpthederp I don’t think it could. In Dead Zone Bulma, Roshi and Krillin already know about Gohan, whom they didn’t find out about until the beginning of DBZ, then Raditz shows up and events are set into motion from there. There’s no break in between Gohan meeting his dad’s old friends and being abducted by his uncle. This is why the Garlic Jr Saga is considered non-canon by the fans, well that and the fact it doesn’t happen in the manga.
couldn't Wrath of the Dragon also fit in the canon timeline? The only discrepancy is that it's implied Future Trunks' sword was given to him by Tapion, but it's not outright stated, so that can be ignored.
I've never heard that Proposal bit you did for Korin and Yajirobe! It's amazing, Kaiser. I love it.
That whole sub-plot with Korin and Yajirobe throughout the show is probably my next-favorite thing about DBZA behind the refreshing portrayals of Dende, Popo and Cell. Healthy romance never fails to pull at my heartstrings.
I read someone’s interpretation of the two “Freeza needs to accept his mistakes” and “Because I’m a prick“ scenes with Cooler. One scene is what happened, the other is how one of the brothers remember it, and there’s plenty of evidence for both.
I would love to see a sitcom style series focused on tfs' korin, yaijerobe, popo, and dende's lives as neighbors.
Do this!
YES.
And technically Piccolo because Dende gave him a room
holy shit yea this is a great idea lmaooo and piccolo would be there sometimes too
The hilarious thing about the "Bulma Enchanto" thing is that it's like that IN THE VIDEOGAME ONLY, in the movie when she introduces herself to Goku, she does say "Bulma Briefs". Same thing for Chichi, in the movie her last name is never stated, it's the videogame that gives her the "McRoberts" last name
Also, the Diddy Donkey joke is DEFINITELY better than the Icarus one, for one simple reason. If cooler is anything like freezer, he MUST have called the Saiyans monkeys a lot

I will never stop loving the outro songs for these, and how it's just a Lo-fi version of the OG Dragon Ball theme.
I really like how Coolers 5th form is an actual different form, much better than the damn recolors they keep doing recently.
I think it illustrates the difference between the brothers really well, even if it's unintentional. (And it is definitely unintentional.)
Cooler is trying to push past his limits and finds the fifth form, possibly the actual second form for his species (since Frieza's fourth form is actually his base form, with the others being power limiters).
While Frieza is so preoccupied with Goku that he ends up creating a new form that, while stronger, is just a copy of Super Saiyan that doesn't even do him much good.
Maybe if Frieza had unlocked fifth form, his natural talent could've made it stronger than the Saiyan gods!
It kinda just us 2nd form with a mask.
@@2-bitto That's... also true. But it looks cool, and that's the important part
"This form's so much more powerful! It's BLUE! And it's almost as powerful as the other one, which is RED, but it can actually be sustained."
At least the gold Super Saiyan transformations follow a decent pattern.
SSJ1: bulked up a bit, everything goes golden, spiky, and angry.
SSJ1a: bulked up a bit more, but slower.
SSJ1b: bulked up beyond reason, functionally immobile.
SSj2: significant boost in speed and power, eyes get more narrow, hair gets swept back somewhat, lightning in the aura.
SSj3: another big speed and power boost, hair really long, eyebrows gone, eyes even more narrow, the lightning might as well be a shawl.
They're all distinct and memorable, even if 2 essentially becomes the baseline transformation for those who have it.
@@2-bitto sometimes that’s enough
I swear, there are times in DBZA that I wonder if Mr. Popo was the original God of Destruction. The fact that Popo can bring back a destroyed sun kind of reinforces that thought.

Ah, I've been binge watching this after the death of Akira Toriyama and I just got to the "Toriyama no! You were taken before your time!" And now I made myself sad.
I love the “You must be Ice Cold” “No, that would be my father” bit. It works so well within the context of the show! We never got King Cold’s first name, and “ice” keeps up the cold puns for Frieza’s race. As far as I’m concerned, “Ice” is absolutely King Cold’s first name.
I always just assumed that cold was his first name. Like Vegeta is Prince Vegeta.

Honestly I think the underwater monologue was great. The fact it happened so quickly just made it funnier.
I just realised something. The fact that Goku is surpriced to see Cooler, someone who's Ki is on paralell with Frieza, implies that Cooler can control his Ki-levels and was able to hide it when arriving on earth.
Kaiser's joke even has a precedent. Gohan literally just said Icarus right before the joke

This episode holds a special place in my heart because it was my introduction DBZA. I’ll never forget - I was a grad student, and one night, I was looking up random DBZ clips on UA-cam. I then stumbled across this gem and was instantly hooked. It was genius, and it also reignited my interest in Dragon Ball! DBZA eventually became my “study break”. I would stream an episode in between sessions or even late at night before I went to bed. I ended up showing it to my friends who also loved it. We would even quote lines from the show to each other. Now, 10 years later, I STILL enjoy it!
So bravo, Team Fourstar. You helped shape my adulthood!
EDIT: Also, since this was my intro to DBZA, imagine my confusion at hearing a voice inside Piccolo’s head.
I love how they said "dont watch DBZA before DBZ" but that's EXACTLY how I experienced DBZ growing up
I kinda hate that that's how you experienced Dragon Ball, but hey at least you are stuck in this stuff with is now! Nyahahahaha!!!
I was exposed to DBZ through DBZA too! There were just too many episodes to sit down and “give it a shot” but watching these made me want to check out the original stuff
Exactly lmao my first experience with actually watching anime was my wife getting me to watch abridged series like yugioh then dbza and hellsing. I like both abridged and original now because of it.
Same and I don't regret it at all.

"and that is the history of my family" is fantastic, great line shouldn't have changed.
Bro, coming back and hearing "Toriyama, you were taken before your time" is like a dagger to my heart
Kind of disappointed their Cooler never meet their Tenshinhan.
I think those two would have gotten along.
That would be glorious.
My 2 favourite characters
Nah, Cooler too evil, I see them just fighting and not bickering, just having a 100% serious fight
To be honest, the abridge is what god me into the entirety of dragon ball as a franchise. I don’t think i would have liked it without you guys so thanks.
24:30 if you want the Icarus flying too close to the sun joke to work, set it up earlier, Like when the Cooler Force was at the camp and were knocking out Gohan, have him, at some point, say "Run Icarus!" or something, have them confirm they know the name with a "What a stupid name for a dragon," then BOOM! Now they know the dragon's name to make the joke.
The Whiskers the Wonder Cat joke led me to eventually make a Khajit character in Skyrim and name him that. I spent that run doing pure unarmed and heavy armor, so I was running around punching and suplexing people to death.
That was a ton of fun and OP as hell.
Im gonna write this down
Just a clarification. "Tonight I dine on turtle soup." is from the original animated series, specifically the episode Shredder is Splintered.
I appreciate you mentioning your stance on the Canadian subtitles. Every time a reactor tries watching with them on they end up missing jokes in the actual show. iShinobi is definitely a prime example.
I actually didn't know that gag came from the 80s Ninja Turtles! Thanks for the info
Would be a great villain line if when Goku asked if it was contagious, Cooler just looked down and said "Highly" then sent a blast at him
- Thanks to Super Hero, Piccolo forgetting about the stretchy arms aged beautifully.
- "The Legendary Super Swine" gave me one of the hardest laughs in my life to the point I wish I could forget about it and hear it for the first time again.
29:35 glad you were the first to make the reference that, Piccolo has so many abilities that he forgets about some of them at times. It went Full Circle in the DBS Super Hero Movie, When Krillin had to remind him that, he has the ability to go Giant Form.
You left out my favorite detail with the Yajirobe x Korrin thing.
In the movie where they are spending time apart, Yajirobe almost dies, and when he's about to die he realizes how much Korrin means to him and that's when they got back together
My favorite bit was korin trying to get yajirobe a ride in season 3. “I miss my bean daddy”
Have to go with the "Hello Diddy, where's Donkey" line as the superior line in that scene
True you would have to change the set up for the Icarus joke to work
You guys are so wrong about the "and that is the entire history of my family" bit not hitting, with the punchline of "don't even get me started again" is one of my favourite jokes you guys have ever done, absolutely killed me first time I heard it. Maybe it's just a me thing, but it's brilliant and you should be happy with it.
38:51 A moment that hits so much harder now
RIP Akira Toriyama
We know it didn't age well
I liked the underwater monologue scene as it is honestly. The brevity was part of why it was so humorous to me.
The Namekian stretchy arms is one of my favorite techniques in the entire franchise and I feel that it's horribly underused. Just imagine someone fly towards Gohan and they get stopped by Piccolo's hand grabbing them, then pulling them into a kick or elbow or something.
Piccolo does do this move against Krillin. In the final tournament arc of Dragon Ball, Piccolo stretches his arm to grab Krillin's leg and pulls him in to punch Krillin in the face.
Pulls them into a mouth blast
I'm glad they started using it more in Super.
For the Icarus line what if instead of Gohan saying "maybe we should be a little more careful" he could have been the one to say the "don't you think you're flying too close to the sun." And then Salza could have still made the Diddy/Donkey joke
"Toriyama, no! You were taken before your time!"
I forgot about that bit, and now it just hurts
I always loved that you guys had Chris Guerrero on this. Super awesome voice actor.
Bit of trivia: The actual speeder bike chase is unscored. The music here is the orchestral version of the piece "The Forest Battle". It plays in the movie where Chewbacca and the Ewoks clean house in the big battle, but was re-orchestrated for concert suites. You may remember the finale of the piece used in the Episode 2 trailer.
“Cooler than Freezer? You must be Ice Cold.” That always takes me back to OutKast’s “Hey Ya!” Every time I hear that line, LMAO
Edit: (6 months later) I didn’t know anyone had actually responded to this comment. Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who felt that way 😁 I love that song/ album/ artist
HEY FELLAS. WHATS COOLER THAN BEING COOL
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
Same!!! 😂
With toriyamas passing that taken before your time part hits hard now.
I just want to say thank you guys for all you have done! I started with Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged and stuff! You have brought so much laughter to so many of us!
Speaking of the english canadian subs at the beginning, one of my favorite jokes to come out of it was during episode 59 when Cell and Vegeta were in-sync, the subtitles were:
Cell: Every word that you've just spoke has made me violently angry! Oh great, I'm agreeing with Vegeta! Look at what you made me do!
Vegeta: Every word that you've just spoke has made me violently angry! Oh great, I'm agreeing with Cell! Look at what you made me do!
CC Subs: Every word that you've just spoke has made me violently angry! Oh great, I'm agreeing with these two! Look at what you made me do!
Watching that episode with the canadian subs for the first time, it was so funny to see.
my favorite canadian subs joke is during the Frieza fight, when Frieza declares the time limit for the first and from that point on there's a constant countdown in the background, even when switching episodes. It's even funnier because the second time Frieza declares how many minutes are left, nearly five minutes have passed
@@floricel_112 And the subtitles just go "Okay, time to reset the counter again"
So I never got the Snickers joke, but due to Coolers response I actually thought the real joke was that Goku got Snickers tagline wrong so it still worked.
Meanwhile I had no idea what the kitkat tagline was, but I knew that you break kitkats so it made perfect sense to me.
Man that 39:06 hits hard now due to the recent not so recent passing of the creator
