Really love this, scenes like this make the world feel more organic and real despise the insanity the DB universe is sometimes.

I mean you have to. This day and age, crime is HARD. You need to be extremely intelligent, have insane resources, and a big network of guys that ALL have to be mutual ride-or-dies in order to pull off anything without getting arrested or killed immediately.
@virtualdark2295 pretty sure tao doesn't even know what a super sayain is. However kid goku into an adult he understands. It's like tao struggled to beat a lion cub but now the cub is an adult...
@@kookou13 well you’re not wrong of tao not knowing what a saiyan is. Goku didn’t even know he was one until raditz arrived on earth and King Kai explained the story(some of it) where the saiyans are originally from since goku hit his head as a baby.
It's always funny seeing how Goku turns nice towards old villains when he's 1000x times stronger and they have absolutely no way to hurt him anymore lol
To be fair, pretty much everyone he knows has tried to kill him at least once. Bulma shot him, Yamcha tried to rob him, pretty much the only person he’s met on good terms has been Krillin
Aw, Goku is such a kind-hearted guy. The bad guys locked themselves inside an airtight dome with no visible ventilation, and rather than let them suffocate, he broke them out!
Lil secret bro: the successful crime guys will treat you BETTER than the companies will, has been my experiance. You just have to make sure you owe them (and not from rule breaking/ stealing). You dont want them to owe you, once that happens you've been had
Tao was one of his worst (albeit one of his earliest) enemies and Goku is just so happy to meet a villain who can only kill a few people at a time and not wipe out whole planets. Vegeta, Frieza and Cell really put things into perspective for him.
The show was alot better back then imo. I cared more about Upas father and the ensuing quest to revive him than when the "whole planet is in danger!" For the 5th time storylines. It just seems like they used the whole planet at stake storyline with piccolo because they thought it was the end, then when they kept the series going they kindve wrote themselves into a corner and had to keep raising the stakes but its sort of hard to raise the stakes beyond the whole world being destroyed lol.
Generally villians essentially are destructive, and selfish. That's what makes them villians. Think of it as an exaggerated bad boss or parent. Their moves sometimes seem so shortsighted, so self-destructive too, seemingly sacraficing the very people who try to help/support them.
In the case of some villains like Frieza he disposes of literal fodder when he has hundreds and thousands of men so it’s not really destroying anything when he doesn’t need them
@@SuperYiXingLongAlso Freezia is basically space hitler on steroids so it makes sense that your choices would be join him or die alongside your planet. I imagine working for Freezia is an ultimatum for many.
At this point it doesn’t really matter. Like placing a 20 pound weight on an ant to kill it vs a 200 pound man stomping it out. One might be significantly stronger but to the ant it isn’t much different at the end and can only accept its fate.
@@popenieafantome9527 Eh, it's a nice analogy but it's only pragmatically meaningful. Humans can certainly have more of an appreciation than "anything beyond super dead is still just dead." If we didn't, we would enjoy shounen anime way less.
@@Halcon_Sierreno pretty sure he chooses to terrorize his villains Just look at Z broly Bro was reminded of his trauma from seeing goku Tao got ptsd from fighting kid goku and goku here casually reintroduces himself despite knowing how traumatized tao was
Goku has very little value on the ideas of life and death. Dragon balls aside, he KNOWS there is an afterlife. He knows it sorts people by morality. Sure he doesn’t want people to needlessly die, but what’s a bit of inconvenience before eternity? It’s nothing to hold a grudge over if somebody’s (as far as you know) not being evil anymore. And with his track record, he probably just assumes if he kicked your ass and your still alive and not immediately doing something bad, you learned a lesson and no further action is required.
@@kagato23 his own life sure. He doesn't hesitate to die for the sake of the earth and his son twice. But he's always placed high value on the lives of others. He's always moving battles away from places where people could get hurt, he's always angry when people harm his friends and loved ones and he spares people he really shouldn't constantly. He spares Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza, tries to get Vegeta to spare Broly in DBS:B, agrees to spare Radditz before being betrayed and tries to spare Freeza AGAIN in resurrection F. Yes in these cases he also wanted to fight them again, but he also spares Nappa Recoome and Burter even though they're far below his level. He even tries to persuade them not to fight him. So he's definitely doing it out of kindness as well as a desire for a fight. It's just not in Goku's nature to kill unless he absolutely has to. So id definitely say Goku puts a high value on other's lives. Almost to a fault
@@LocalJanitor6resurrection F supports my point pretty well actually. Even Freeza he initially didn't want to kill, a mistake that lead to the earth being destroyed
Say what you will about the guy. But it's nice that the boss encouraged his henchman to make it into the dome and even asked if he was alright. That's incredibly rare. Normally these types of villains don't give a shit about their henchmen.
Its a common shounen trope, shows the bad guys do bad things but are more like "normal" people you dont have to take that seriously; not on the level of the more severely fucked up villains heroes usually tangle with
@@Firemarioflower Technically…Nappa killed Goku’s friends. Vegeta didn’t kill a single living thing when he visited Earth, not for lack of trying mind you.
It’s funny how Goku probably doesn’t even care about past atrocities. He’s more interested to see how much stronger Tao has gotten so he can have a good workout session 😂
Or a stone pillar, but you know what's odd? he's literally from a school famed for its ability to fly and he is the only student that has not demonstrated this ability despite being the "greatest master" the school had ever seen... despite somehow that his teacher was stronger than he was and for some reason said teacher would not acknowledge Tien's abilities after having far surpassed Tao
Considering how Tao reacted when just seeing Goku's _son,_ this seems like an incredibly calm reaction. Love how chill and genuinely happy to see him Goku is, though.
The normal dub is uncontested in the fighting scenes with the va, but I feel this voice just fits Goku way more perfectly when he is just being Goku Not saying that Sean Schemmel is bad, he is amazing, but does this for some reason just feel too right
I think Schemmel's chill Goku voice is excellent, but I'd be lying if there wasn't something about this calmer sounding one that is sort of refreshing.
They never finished the Frieza saga, but eventually continued in the android saga all the way to the end It's interesting; i remember the Ocean dub being the version I grew up with for the Saiyan, Namek, Android, Cell and Buu sagas, but oddly remember the Funimation Frieza saga being a part of my childhood. It's like I watched the Ocean dub, but took a break to watch Funi Frieza, then went back to Ocean for the rest of the show
I’ve never seen the Ocean dub before so I always thought the voice for TFS’s abridged version was a random parody decision that fit… but now this makes even more sense.
@@BlowTorchDrizy1my memory isn't the best but I recall it being for around a week leading up to the Cell Games. Probably closer to 9 days since it seemed like they stayed that way until after the Cell Games ended
One of my favorite under appreciated parts of this scene is that Goku goes immediately from saying that he needs to learn to use less power into catching a bullet softly enough that the bullet was unharmed and lacked any kind of deformation as opposed to them mushrooming or shattering like bullets usually do in the series
This dub is like a full blown differnt tone. Feels like an alternate version of DBZ. Nothing wrong of course, actually makes me curious to watch non filler scenes with this dub.
Kirby Morrow (RIP) as Goku Scott McNeil as Mercenary Tao. Also, this is probably ONE of the first times the late Kirby Morrow voiced Goku. He just TOOK over from both Peter Kelamis AND Ian James Corlett during the Cell games saga. He was a great Goku, better than Sean Schemmel. He was on par with Nozawa, Ian & Peter. May he rest in peace.
I love that we don't see his eyes zooming in and instead switch to his POV first then pan back to third person with his eyes zoomed all the way out 🤣🤣 Like that is such a simple and actually pretty common gag but the way they did it makes it so much better
What makes goku, Goku, is that even tho he loves fighting, he can never hold a grudge against someone even if they were a enemy 0:30 taos going through ptsd while goku is just smiling like a fool😂
Raditz: “Bro, you’re meant to flick the bullet back at them!” Goku: “Why would I do that?!” Raditz: “So that you can kill them?” Goku: “Sometimes I seriously doubt whether or not we’re related” Raditz: “That makes two of us”
This is why Goku is pure hearted. He's happy to see tao, knows they fought, but with how many people's he's changed? He has faith in tao I bet. Holding no ill-will to anyone. That's purity.
Yeah, they did 67 episodes of Z, editing them down to just 53, and then Ocean Studios in cooperation with Westwood Media Productions worked on an alternate English dub of the second half of the series, likely because the Funimation dub was too expensive to continue licensing for the European countries where it was first seen, they did episodes 123-291
I feel like Tao's reaction doesn't get enough credit. Man doesn't fully freak out, go for a panic attack, or try and instantly bail: He's just quietly staying out of it, hoping to avoid getting beaten harder this go-round. Even the one attack he thinks about, he cuts out the moment Goku turns around. Kinda also appreciate Goku's willingness to bury the hatchet. He's genuinely happy to see Tao.
Only in Canada. Because of the laws Canadian programming has in terms of how much programming per day/week needs to be Canadian produced. Known as Canadian Content, or CanCon.
Well he kicked a grenade back at him and almost killed him that’s why he is a cyborg now plus before the grenade kick kid goku was slapping Tao around.
The ocean dub never gets enough love. I always liked the humble tone goku had in that version. That actor is no longer with us. RIP my dude.
Peter kelamis? He is still alive
I think you're thinking of Frieza's actor
Bros voice is awful

I love that we don't see his eyes zooming in and instead switch to his POV first then pan back to third person with his eyes zoomed all the way out 🤣🤣
Like that is such a simple and actually pretty common gag but the way they did it makes it so much better
Hearing Kirby Moro as Goku is something I never expected to hear but I love it
"He's some sort of monster!", said the smartest guy in the room. 😂
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who likes Goku's voice in the Ocean dub.
What makes goku, Goku, is that even tho he loves fighting, he can never hold a grudge against someone even if they were a enemy 0:30 taos going through ptsd while goku is just smiling like a fool😂
*Goku catches bullet*
Raditz watching from Other World: "Ha, that's my little bro."
Raditz: “Bro, you’re meant to flick the bullet back at them!”
Goku: “Why would I do that?!”
Raditz: “So that you can kill them?”
Goku: “Sometimes I seriously doubt whether or not we’re related”
Raditz: “That makes two of us”
@@alexedwards5152 😂😂😂💀
🤣
that wall.. Hehehe... IS SOLID!!
As silly as the Ocean Dub is, it's more relaxing to listening to :)
This is why Goku is pure hearted. He's happy to see tao, knows they fought, but with how many people's he's changed? He has faith in tao I bet. Holding no ill-will to anyone. That's purity.
General Tao's "Why me" has rhe same energy as Vector's "Oh poop"
The fact that pans out from his vision to show that Tao has fully extended robo eyes is hilarious
He had to make 100% sure that was without a doubt Goku
Totally forgot Goku was voiced by Kirby in the Ocean dub, I still miss him.😞
Tao's eyes popping out of his head scanning Goku is a primo gag
What a nice boss, he really asked "Are you alright?" instead of just giving one of his servants up.
i like how sharp gokus senses are in this scene, he can literally feel when Tao pulls the knife out 😂
General Tao’s scanner eyes slowly zooming back out, after he remembered who goku was, was the icing on the cake
The Ocean Dub is a gift from god.
Something about this voice for Goku just hits well for me. He just sounds so... calm, natural even.
Never realized the guy voice acting the boss in pinstripe suit is the same dude who played Irving in Resident Evil 5.
Talk About PTSD.
0:31 MEME Worthy
2:45
I love that zoom tao does with his eyes when measuring goku’s power lvl 😂😂
Just to confirm his in Big Trouble.
I never knew the ocean dub got this far
Yeah, they did 67 episodes of Z, editing them down to just 53, and then Ocean Studios in cooperation with Westwood Media Productions worked on an alternate English dub of the second half of the series, likely because the Funimation dub was too expensive to continue licensing for the European countries where it was first seen, they did episodes 123-291
this art style is f amazing... i miss this 90's look
I feel like Tao's reaction doesn't get enough credit. Man doesn't fully freak out, go for a panic attack, or try and instantly bail: He's just quietly staying out of it, hoping to avoid getting beaten harder this go-round. Even the one attack he thinks about, he cuts out the moment Goku turns around.
Kinda also appreciate Goku's willingness to bury the hatchet. He's genuinely happy to see Tao.
Goku saying hi to General Tao like they're old buddies LOL.
Famous last words spoken to a Saiyan: "I dare you. I double dare you. Just try it."
I like how kirby morrow sounds a lot like tfa goku
Like the gag of as the pov camera zooms in on gokus face, it's actually Tao's eyes extending
I just realized that Goku seems to almost never hold a grudge.
I was really taken aback that the crime boss cares for his goons.
Nice :)
Goku: "it's me Goku nice to see you again Tao"
Tao: checks him out realizes it's him. his mind: "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit!"
I half expected Goku to just Instant Transmission through the glass.
I love that Tao's technological eyes mimic the animation meme of bulging right thef out, and the following slow retraction of them as he realizes.
Goku treating Tao like an old friend is charming
Tao Tao : why, is he a delinquent now.....?
You mean “orange hillbilly”
I didn't know the ocean dub continued after the frieza saga
Only in Canada. Because of the laws Canadian programming has in terms of how much programming per day/week needs to be Canadian produced. Known as Canadian Content, or CanCon.
Goku really gave this man tao PTSD
Well he kicked a grenade back at him and almost killed him that’s why he is a cyborg now plus before the grenade kick kid goku was slapping Tao around.
Tao has suffered enough. From young goku, to gohan and now... 😅
Crispest Ocean Dub I've ever seen. This is euphoric for me.
Seeing the villain genuinely concerned for his minion is great XD
I love the Ocean Dub so much. Not hearing Sean Schemmel is like a dream.
