    The first episode where I don't cringe at my Goku voice no more. Also in the earlier episodes, I think I was TRYING to NOT sound too similar to Gohan so the bass was kinda there to compensate. Now I don't need that no more!

      Personally I think it's more a case that goku isn't dumb, just completely uneducated. Keep in mind he spent his childhood living a hermit life, with no formal education or socialization. And once he does finally leave the mountain most of his travels are around fighting and training. It's not until adulthood that he even has a chance to change and by that time it's a bit too late.

    I think the word you were looking for with Frieza is "novel". What Goku provided Frieza was a novel experience, something fresh and exciting. Frieza is so used to certain kinds of reactions that he keeps lengthy lists of cliche responses, but then along comes Goku and it like nothing else before.

He did that for Goku VS Nappa, VS Vegeta, when he shows his power level to Ginyu, and when he tries the x20 Kamehameha on Freeza. What you said is wrong, especially as Toriyama was so slow that the anime more than caught up with him and was doing the Goku VS Freeza fight BEFORE Toriyama made the "he's actually been using the kaio-ken this whole time!" bullshit.

He was really able to somehow capture the best of both worlds, in no small thanks due to the writing.

    5:56 this is why I love the Kai version of this moment. Where Z tries to make it so that Vegeta was made to be a killer because of Frieza, the Kai version is of Vegeta telling Goku to be ruthless and be a true saiyan or he will never be a super saiyan. Vegeta also uses his final moments to tell Goku what really happened to planet Vegeta and starts crying at “After we saiyans served him faithfully, and blindly followed his every last order he…he betrayed us; he disposed of our race like common trash, wiped us from existence.” Capping it off by begging Goku to kill Frieza before finally dying.

Like everything Goku says is more ridiculous/stupid than the thing before, so it's gotten to the point where Frieza's just staring in shocked bewilderment, legitimately wondering if he's hallucinating Goku. At least that's how I always took it, it's the look on his face as he says the line.

    "Oh please, everyone is always on about the children. I already tried leaving THEM alive, but all they end up doing is growing under my rule or dedicating their pathetic lives to revenge. Usually both. Really, killing them is a kindness. I can retract that kindness if you like, but then whose the villain?"

    The ‘Frozen Peas’ joke works on a multitude of levels. There’s the obvious bit (as was pointed out) regarding The Brain from ‘Animaniacs’ and how Maurice Lamarche nailed the Orion Wells connection. As Lani also alluded to, Lamarche also did a bit portraying the actual Orson Wells on ‘The Critic’ (criminally underrated show btw) using the exact same voice.
    The peak of all of this is in the ‘Animaniacs’ episode ‘Yes, Always’, (probably my favorite episode of the entire show) which features Lamarche as The Brain portraying Orson Wells while making the Frozen Peas commercial, an episode that had its genesis in the fact that Lamarche uses the whole Frozen Peas bit as his mic check for The Brain and the writers eventually just ran with it and built a whole episode around it.

    On the subject of the anime's pacing, I think I made a note once of there being around nine minutes between Tenshinhan showing up and 18 leaving after Cell eats 17. She sits there and watches him put triangular pegs into square holes for most of that time. It's not just the filler and flashbacks that make it suffer; the pace of dialogue and simple interaction is glacial as well.

    Absolutely loving these commentary videos !! Kinda half hoping that at the end they’re gonna announce either them doing the Buu arc or another dragonball project but I’m not gonna set that high of an expectation . Anyway, great to see that they still can go back and talk about these old videos with passion and energy and be genuinely proud of the hard work they poured into the series . Hope everyone on the team and their families are happy and healthy next year !!

    I think it’s fair to have two Kamehameha in separate hand-blasts when you can produce one with your feet.

    Yeah Masako is good at making his Gohan and Goku sound different, I remember him doing that well in Kämpfer abridged as well when he voiced both male and female natsuru

    I wanna hear him say "Next Time on this thing that we're doing" in the Kyle Hebert voice. Bonus points if you throw in the Faulconer score.

    that "are you real?" line is absolutely _seared_ into my brain and yet i always expect to hear it way later in that scene

    Goku slapping the laser beam into Vegeta might not be an original joke but I'm 99% sure I never saw it until today and it's hilarious

    3:07 is my favorite joke in the whole series… Goku really had time to think about blocking the blast from Freeza but decided to let Vegeta handle it… this is all happening in slow motion in Goku’s head as the shot pierces through Vegeta’s chest 😂 This will never cease to make me smile!

      "He's got that one. Hm he's not reacting. He's not blocking it. Okay that definitely hit him. Huh."

    I've been binging DBZA since I discovered it in 2013 when I was in 7th grade. I've seen your entire series a few dozen times, and have viewed every reaction on UA-cam to your content. I love you guys, and your art. I always say to others, DBZA is my canon.

    i gotta say after talking about bouncing characters off each other and losing vegeta, hearing frieza say "good lord i traded vegeta for this." i feel like resonates with you guys as well with the fear of getting the interactions down between the two to make it entertaining. also let me just say, talking about all the voice acting certainly helps me appreciate all the hard work it takes to do that.

    'My haughty sub loving self'
    I...heard/interpreted that in a very different way before you clarified, Kaiser.

    17:30 He uses the kamehameha because he knows how to redirect the beam (it's something in Dragonball). And specifically, he is using 2 one-handed kamehameha.
