    7:06 There’s a fan theory that the reason Piccolo knows the symptoms of a heart attack is because he’s studied human anatomy after failing to hit any of Goku’s vital organs in the 23rd Tenkaichi-ichi Budokai. He didn’t want to make that mistake again so he studied where the heart was located and all the ways it could fail. It paid off when he was able to hit both Goku and Raditz with the Makankosappo

    It’s slightly wholesome to listen to Taka say how he didn’t feel he was worthy of being in the Writer’s Room, then Lani describe how Taka writes jokes, says how he can’t begin to comprehend how Taka’s brain works, and compliments him by saying the series’ success with jokes is a LOT of Taka.

      Also makes me think of how few times a limb is actually disabled on those who can't just regenerate. Usually it's either they fight until they drop if they're even, or they're just knocked unconscious. Piccolo vs Goku, both old and young, Vegeta vs 18, and Gohan vs Cell are the only real ones that come to mind. Guess you can also count Tien breaking Yamcha's leg, but that was done after the fight was already over and he was unconscious.

      i mean without a teen from the future coming back to warn everybody 3 whole years in advance he pretty much had his victory guaranteed, goku would just actually die instead of almost, and vegeta would still probably whoop 19 then get shit whipped by 17 & 18 when gero eventually flees using the advantage of not having sense-able energy. Of course the trunks special helps the viewers realize this but its nice to have a villain that essentially is fated to win with proof that it isnt just their own hubris making them say that

      He lets his own Ego get the better of him, like when Piccolo asked him if he knew what Namek was, he immediately replied OF COURSE...19, what's Namek? And then when Goku's power exceeds their expected parameters he just brushes it off like its no big deal, instead of being cautious. He has planned his revenge for so long, now that he's finally here, he's just impatient. He'll be damned if he has to postpone his revenge any longer.

    Also with the Piccolo knowing about the ins and outs of a heart attack, someone else pointed this out on Tv Tropes, but it's likely that Piccolo after missing all of Goku's vital organs at the end of Dragonball he studied up on anatomy so that he wouldn't miss any next time (which would then play into his snarking to Frieza about not knowing anything about Namekian physiology)

    4:40 A subroutine doesn't really have anything to do with complexity most of the time, it's more about reusability, you can have subroutines doing really small operations, or complex ones. The idea behind a subroutine is that you can just invoke it in different locations in the code without having to write the whole code it consists of every time, and any changes in the subroutine affect all locations where it was invoked. Often you have subroutines that invoke other subroutines which also invoke other subroutines and end up being quite complex.

    Keiser, the "Sayan Blood" song was perfect for the scene.
    It is just the right amount of badass, it is in theme with the overaching DBZ theme (of course, it comes from DB) and you synced the video up with it masterfully.

    Dammit. Now that 19’s goofy face was pointed out, it’ll be the only thing I see when I rewatch that scene. Thanks Lani!

    I Love the way Gero says "Oh, Bully" when 19 absorbs the Kamehame-ha
