Say ‘Hello!’ To Cell!
He has Goku’s love of fighting, Krillin’s sense of humor, Vegeta’s ego, Frieza’s sadism, Piccolo’s endurance, Gohan’s intelligence and Tien’s pragmatism….all filtered through Nappa.
That is a remarkably accurate description of Abridged Cell.
@@gurvmlk terrifyingly accurate.
Mr. Perfectly accurate
What about Yamcha?
@@Bakismannen_sweden What ABOUT Yamcha?
TFS' introduction to Cell was absolutely peak writing. It's legitimately terrifying.
Which I thought was great, in comparison to the actual show. Granted Cell was canonically creepy, I feel like that aspect of his character was heavily undermined by the show's overall tone, and writing. Which TFS rectified by making the horror aspects of Cell work much better by putting more emphasis on them.
Well I was definitely really freaked. So. It worked on me
One of my favorite things that Team Four Star did was give Nail and Kami voices in Piccolo’s head. In the original show, Piccolo just fused them to increase his power level, treating them little more than glorified power-ups. But the Abridged series treats them as characters while also giving Piccolo, a stoic warrior who often stays quiet, two people to converse with in his head. It’s a brilliant adaptation that I wish the original show did as well.
Dbs showed they still exist in some manner during the ToP but it would be interesting if they had voices
If you where headphones, you might also notice Piccolo's voice is in stereo, while Kami's and Nail's voice have one of the channels.
@@Tuning3434unfortunately even with headphones you might not notice that anymore, seems to be blended together now because of technology rather than one in each ear unless you have older headphones.
Either way, I like that he talks to them. It's a fun relationship and makes things interesting
This version of Cell is, like TFS said, If Freddy Krueger and Bug Bunny fused.
Hilarious, and ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.
Funny you mention that considering takahata101 took inspiration from Zorak from space ghost Coast to coast the og English dub of cell Damien Clarke and the demon from wish master
@@elimDBZ And also Andrew Divoff as the Djinn in _Wishmaster_
You don’t have to worry about watching the return of cooler until about episode 54ish. In abridged (and canon), there’s a ‘break’ from the action where the abridged movies take place. On a side note, once Cell is introduced, the show becomes 10x better because the writing for him is phenomenal
Good to know. Thanks!
I mean where does return of cooler fit in at all in dbz and dbz abridged? I'm just saying as Babiddy said in the manji boo mini 2 part series bitch is barely Cannon
Tfs has already said the movies are only Canon to each other Lil. If you want to really push it, there's one maybe 2 that could fit but still have inconsistencies, so 🤷
@@silentassason the point is that you don't want to do the movies too early, because spoilies, or too late, because relevance.
@@nairdacnalbel ah fair enough. Think I misinterpreted the original comment. My b
Cell is so good. They do him such justice in this series. This episode starts the “peak” of DBZA.
It does get really good but tbh all of season 3 is amazing
He is hilarious and you will quote everything he says.
in regard to watching Super.... hmmm DBZa is already a different thing than the actual DBZ. I can rewatch DBZA till infinity, I won't mind rewatching DBZ (with some necessary skipping). I have no desire to rewatch Super, and I would recommend watching DBZ au natural first before diving into it.
Actual original Dragon Ball is something way to many people sleep over, and especially the later half is in my opinion the best the Dragonball franchise has to offer (although arguably DBZA, especially season 3, might be higher up).
@@Tuning3434DBZA S3 > Dragonball > DBZA S2 > DBZ > DBZA S1 > .... > GT
CELL IS HERE!!!! I've never seen a character who is a more perfect blend of comedy and horror. Truly a great DBZA villain.
Also, Vegeta's line, "Is that me stronger than me?! I'll f**king kill me!!!" 😂LMAO every time. 😂
No matter how many times I rewatch DBZA, and no matter how desensitized I become to its jokes, that line from Vegeta gets me every time.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Cell, he NEVER stops being a creep.
except in the DevilArtemis Universe. There he is the sane one, and way overcreeped by Roshi, Kermit the Frog and ..... Zarbon.
_"Please, villain, monologue at me! I've been a villain, I know how this works!"_
Ha, I love it!
According to Taka, his voice for Cell was inspired by Beetlejuice, Zorak (Space Ghost), and the Wishmaster, along with the original dub’s performance for Cell. It’s… perfect.
It works.
Loving the makeup and.. uh.. fan service. These are some great episodes. Wish I could go back in time to watch this over again for the first time. But yeah cell is a fantastic character and yes, you’ll see plenty of 16. His time to shine is yet to come.
A neat little detail you might have noticed since you had headphones is that Nail's dialogue is heard through the left side and Kami's through the right
:D I look forward to this react series every week, especially now that you're getting into the Cell Saga where TFS were truly untouchable, the sheer quality of the writing and production still shocks me to this day
This Solar Flare is more tame then the rest.
True. The ones in the Namek saga were WILD. Genuine "can not unsee" material
@@nicolasgiaquinta8948 Frieza and Dodoria 🤢🤮
So according to someone who interviewed Toriyama, he really really liked the way TFS had Nail and Kami in Piccolo’s head after fusing and he wished he’d thought of the idea himself
No way really? I wish we saw a live reaction
Fun fact about the gross scene of the guy melting: The original English dub back in the day was usually censored and cut out all of the blood so it could air on Cartoon Network without Standards and Practices getting pissy.
They didn't cut out any of that, though. The most gruesome scene in the entire franchise.
So in regards to Krillin not focusing on 18’s superficial features, it’s not that Roshi went too far asking about the “Melons”, cause with Marin he was excited to be “Her boobs are as big as my head!”, but with 18 - he really likes her and he’s growing out of that jerkass old Krillin who was happy to be just like Roshi.
Krillin realized who Maron truly was (a gold digger and an undercover irs employee) and he realized that he has to look at a woman than more than whats on the surface
I’ve been waiting so long for that reaction to Cell’s debut and boy this did not disappoint.
“Hello….friend.”
1:05 Nope, you really don't. Aside from Super being its own can of worms, TFS never did Abridged for the Buu saga of Z, so that's material you'd be skipping.
14:44 Yeah, the magic Namekians can make dragon balls. There's ones that do magic and ones that punch.
18:37 So Toriyama's editor hated Dr. Gero for being so old, then he hated the androids for the opposite, saying that now it's just some kids. Now there's Cell and he hated this bug too. He basically said: "Well, at least he can transform, right?". Oh, and Cell is every animator's worst nightmare, keeping all those spots in check. Pretty sure even Toriyama regretted the design, which is why you never see anything this intricate ever again.
21:26 Greatest reaction ever.
Actually ☝🤓 it was Toriyama's former editor (Torishima) telling him 19 and 20 (and then 17 and 18) were too silly on the phone after reading the chapter, if his actual editor at the time had disaproved the designs, 19 and 20 would look completely different and we probably would never get 17 and 18.
Toriyama just trusted the guy so much, as he saved his career and was his editor from Dr. Slump to Dragon Ball's 23th Tenkaichi Budokai arc.
But his actual editor (Yu Kondo) really suggested Cell to transform into a "Freeza-looking" character because they were getting complaints about him being too scary.
You'll indeed see, and in turn, hear more of 16. In fact, he slowly became KaiserNeko's (1 of the Writers, Co-founder, Voice of Trunks and sole Editor of DBZA) favorite Character to write.
So the thing about the Namekians making Dragon Balls is that there are two clans. One is the warrior clan, like Nail. While the other is the dragon clan, like Dende. One punches people and the other makes Dragon Balls.
Lauren's make-up and dress in on point!!!!
hey! thanks for the shout out. BTW, I live in Chicago also. Gold Coast area, by north avenue beach.
hey, that's awesome! I haven't spent a lot of time over there, but I've never had a bad time when I get there either.
The Cell Saga is an interesting beast. Toriama originally intended for Gero and Clown to be the primary Villains. His Editor didn't like that, so he Killed them off and came up with 16, 17 and 18. His Editor didn't like them either because they didn't look threatening enough so he then came up with Cell.
What started out as an editorial nightmare for Toriama turned into an interesting Situation where things in-universe just spiralled out of control for Goku and the gang as one Big Bad after the other gets introduced, everytime stronger than the last one.
thank you for dropping trivia without spoiling stuff like so many other people in the commentsection do.
@@Ploeppsel Sure thing. I mean, what's the point of Trivia if it spoils the plot?
Great googly moogly that's a cute outfit! Also Cell is the best antagonist in abridged.
Cat Loves Food showing up again in the intro XD
One of the better jokes here is Cell correctly pronouncing "Makankosappo" (translation: Demonic Light Piercing Murder Gun). Piccolo can't ever say it right, so Kami says "So *that's* how you pronounce it".
And Cell's creepy as f✓©k rendition of Mr. Sandman was *perfect.* Takahata singing that *in character* is great. He and Lanipator are good at doing just that. And just like a certain other green supervillain voiced by Taka, he has an *impeccable* singing voice!
YES, IT'S FINALLY TIME!
I've been waiting for this for weeks now, I'm so stoked. I think you skipped 41, though...
Yes, there will be more of 16. A lot more. And it's great!
Yes, the Namekians can create Dragon Balls. There's a whole process to it and objects involved and what have you, but they'll actually go into a bit more detail on how that works in future episodes. :3
Oh, more than that: with Kami and Nail both in his head now, starting in one or two more episodes/specials, one will be in the left side of your headphones, and the other in the right side. I don't remember who goes where offhand, but it's one of many little things TFS did that made the show orders of magnitude better.
Yes. Yes it is. His introduction is so well executed after such good buildup to it...pretty much perfect, really.
That reaction to the first thing you see after the intro to 43...priceless. Best reaction I've seen yet to it. And everyone always has the same reaction, but your reaction captures that energy better than any other I've seen.
Congratulations! You'll want to do the frame by frame thing every time there's another Solar Flare for the rest of the show now, TFS had...maybe a little too much fun with those. But yes, you've officially met Cell! And I cannot wait for the next couple of episodes. 44 is going to have another amazing Vegeta quote. One that's on the shirt I'm wearing today! :P
you know...somehow I did in fact skip 41. This is 42 and 43. I will...rectify that.
@@ChicagoReactsHahaha, no worries! I blame tax season, got everybody not thinking straight like it does. That's why I stopped what I was doing for work to watch this and add to my comment as I go - get myself back on track so I can get stuff done. :P
so this was the comment that fixed the timeline (for non-members)
@rokkraljkolesa9317 I have no idea what you're talking about, the space-time continuum is fine.
Lauren where were you hiding those beautiful talents of yours?! You look amazing!
I wonder if she got Instagram
@@Matthew_KNGP1NOr any social media at all, she is too gorgeous to not have any
Good thing he had 4 years to think of a name... Imagine if he just went with the first thing he thought of, he might have ended with a ridiculous name.
Yeah, like Jiren XD
First, compliments on the wardrobe. Good look for you. Second, it would be very hard for 3 Super Saiyans to take on the Androids considering that the 1st one was at home fighting off a heart disease lol.
I waited so long for your Cell reaction, was worth it to see the FEAR!!
Just right off the bat before I watch this, if you miss any of the movies/specials it's typically not part of the main story so you're not missing any key parts, but they're worth the watch if you're a fan of either TFS' comedy style, DBZ, or both haha
Keep up the good work!
Assbutt wasnt used in Supernatural until the end of season 5 which was in 2009 - 2010 ish era
Fun fact: The voice actor used Beetlejuice and Wish Master for the inspiration for Cell's voice and demeanor, and something else I'm probably forgetting. I mention that to explain stuff like the Sandman bit. Goes a long way to explain his...eccentricates.
And yes, he did say "Ow, my ass-butt!" He's a great combination of disturbing and hilarious.
It was the end of Supernatural season 5 where Castiel said "Hey, assbutt!" Which came out in 2010, this episode came out in 2014, so yes it's very possible that T4S stole this from Supernatural. It's also not a particularly creative joke, so the possibility of 2 different people coming up with it not out of the question.
Remember from now on. Everytime the taiyoken/ solar flare is used there is a hidden pause moment
That was an awesome reaction to these episodes. Lots of fun.
Looking snazzy Lauren similar to cat from Casper such a lovely dress, I love that film so much
When I was a kid, I stumbled across DBZ when I was visiting my grandparents one weekend, and the episode they were showing was Cell's introduction. The episodes that I saw were haunting and yet amazing. I could predict everything that would happen, but that didn't take away from the amazing scene. TFS did Cell perfectly.
Damn those are huge!!!!😂❤
Roshi has spent his very long *life* at "too far," and only came back to tell us what it's like...
Additional Info on Cell:
When he absorbs people, he gains their Power Level. While people give around 2-5 units of Power Level he, as you can see, munches on hundreds of people. Over time, and a lot of emptied cities, he is going to be huge danger.
Then there is his way to become "Perfect". What ever that is and how he gains it.
Big yikes
It's hilarious how much you sound like abridged Bulma sometimes. 😂
This arc is why some ppl actually prefer this to the original. Its like we get tuenexact same characters but purely their subconscious. Everything was done so well in this arc. You're really gonna love it all the way through.
Finally, Lauren is introduced to the main character of the show.
I'd say just follow the TFS playlist Lauren. You'll be good
They look beautiful
8:45 fantastic, how's the rack?
The hidden images in the solar flares make wish I was blind. It's weirdly appropriate.
Your reaction to Cell is so good
I'm so glad you got the Supernatural joke lol
Time to watch more of Lauren reacting to scary stuff.
Holy Crap I've been a fan of both Supernatural and Abridged since both of when they began and I never noticed that assbutt reference until you pointed it out !
Oh wow you look really pretty in this video!
Would love to see more Singing from you Lauren and love your reactions for these
hi, it was hard to not notice that you look huge today :)
You’ll never understand how terrifying this was in the actual series. Just hearing about all these characters supposedly at Gingertown including Frieza, Vegeta, and somehow even Goku without seeing what was happening was genuinely chilling. Then when we saw Cell using the signature moves of the Z Fighters not knowing who or what he was man it was tense. Especially since we didn’t learn the truth for 2 more episodes.
Sis you were talking for 3:45 seconds before it started 😮. My attention span sprained a brain cell. I only have so many.
I like the shifting volume of the video being watched. Most reactors I've seen either have the content's audio way too low so you can't hear it, or way too high so you can barely hear the reactor over it when they're talking. This is a much better way of doing it.
The DBZA cell saga is absolutely amazing! You are in for a treat.
TFS wanted to make Cell as creepy as possible. And it worked... WELL...
7:47 hard to make out but Gohan said "Oh I think I kicked an alien that looked like that once" which is a call back to Dodoria the large pink "woman" on Namek. Also I'm glad my King Piccolo explanation helped. : )
I remembered dodoria! It's one of the few references I remembered actually, lol. Even if I didn't say anything.
We finally reached the next big bad! I love people’s reactions to Cell lmao
31:10 by the way, even if we are watching a flashback from the past, and a solar flare happens inside the flashback, there is indeed another, new image hidden inside! Something to remember for the future....
8:05 And this is where Lauren shows she is not ready for the Cell arc. What a ride it will be.
In that intro scene for Cell in the series, the guy he absorbs doesn’t make any sound at all, which in a way is worse! It’s one thing to hear the life force being drained away, it’s another entirely that the guy can’t scream!
8:08 I replayed that laugh like 5 times lol
8:59
Okay so I feel the need to add context here. Both Krillin and Goku were raised, from childhood, by Master Roshi. And we both know Master Roshi... is Master Roshi even in canon. So it's cool the abridged series acknowledged that Roshi rubbed off on Krillin a little bit. Not so much on Goku since Goku gets off on fighting.
Krillen was like that even before, which is HOW he got Roshi to take him in the first place. (he bribed him with his porn stash, and since Roshi trusted krillen's tastes in women he sent him with Goku to make sure he brought back a solid option this time, since Goku has no idea what to look for).
"Huh, faster than me...That could be a slight pain in my ass....But-" *gets kicked* "AGH MY ASS-BUTT"
i love this ep
Always love dbza reactions but I just really noticed your poor back 😫. Love it though
so if you rewatch this in your own time i would highly recommend turning on Canadian English cc. they are fan subtitles which and some context and hilarious inner thoughts. also its safe to watch cooler 2 now.
Namekians from the dragon clan can just make them yes. That's their special ability. Somehow Piccolo isn't from the dragon clan even though he's originally the same person as Kami (maybe because he's the part of him that sought out combat and destruction) so if Piccolo is the main body, the dragon balls can't exist until someone else come and make them. And Piccolo/Kami are stronger if Piccolo is the main body so they can't do it the other way around.
Two shows in one!!
none of the movies are cannon, but some of the things in them mostly transformations were made cannon later in super. i will say the original makes that drinking guy part much more horrifying as the music used adds to it
TFS imperfect Cell is the best version, can't wait to see you react to the rest of the Cell saga
Let’s gooooooooo.
Best character is here
I knew you'd go for supernatural reference lol
Glad to know I'm predictable
I wonder if the shed skin of Cell had enough cells in it to recreate Cell?
You can Cell dialog is a combination of all the named characters verbal ticks and catchphrases here I caught vegeta krillin and Frieza when he was monologuing
I love your outfit
That’s an awesome necklace, is it the snake of Midgard
Why don’t they have any of their socials anywhere tho
7:22 "...who ever was in there wanted to get out..." and didn't know how to get out.
The ass butt cell said think it was just him probably saying things in reverse.. bc he saying "hes faster than me, that can be a slight pain in the ass but". Then he got hit so that's why he said "that my ass butt"
@18:24 first time I've seen Lauren scared 😂😂😂
Cell is sadly the big finale of the Abridged series, although Four Star did come together to give a super cut down version of the Buu Saga not long ago. As for the Cooler movie, I don't think it's really important, but it does put a final cap on Freeza's family, and those loose ends. I don't know why, but Dragon Ball has always had an issue with making the movies properly fit in with the rest of cannon, which is why they are often seen as just extras if one is interested. The Super movies I think have been more of a test on what people like, and dislike about the story they are working on next, before implementing a longer finished draft of it into the show. Also can reuse some key shots and make the show easier to finish on less money. Kind of smart, and makes for a better finished project.
You dont need to necessarily worry about what is or is not cannon in an abridged series.
How tf did you notice the fly, flibble… Bejesus! Never notice that til now 😂😂
10:43 Purpleeeyeswft as a guest voice. If you ever want to see a truly unhinged Abridged series, his Code Ment and None Piece are the best out there.
When is the next episode coming out?
Yep Namekians are the entire reason for Dragon balls existing on earth. If Kami never came to earth they would of never gotten dragon balls. But only specific clans of their race are able to make them. I forget why Piccolo couldn't make them seeing as him and Kami were the same person.....I think Gohan makes a comment about it later lol....
the evil King Piccolo was dragon clan, but when Piccolo jr. (our slug man) was born, he was born as a warrior clan namekian
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 yeah but Jr is the SON of King piccolo so they would be of the same clan..... having a son be of a different clan makes 0 sense.....especially the way Namekians reproduce.....
@@Shifty51991 from the DB wiki: "In Xenoverse 2, Guru reveals that recently in his old age he has only been able to produce Dragon Clansmen, [...]"
this (dubiously canon) game trivia implies that a dragon namekian can still produce warrior namekians
some other comment said something about King wanting his reincarnation to be strong enough to get revenge or something, so it may be that that's the in-universe explanation for that
then again, the namekians were demons before the Z retcon, and we can't ask the author unless someone finds the dragon balls
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 Yeah i guess it makes sense if King Piccolo wanted his offspring to be stronger he would make it the warrior clan over the dragon clan....i accept that lol
The coola movie has a spoiler in it. It even spoiled people in theaters in Japan when it first aired
I love how the original dub and the abridged make cells first appearance creepy and almost horror-ish.
She had the same initial reaction to Cell that I had as a kid.
Pure horror.
am I the only one who wanted lauren to do a full version of the sandman song? very beautiful voice
The movies while not cannon to the main story, are still worth the watch
If ya decide to watch DBZ I would suggest DBZ Kai. It's officially made, cuts out a ton of bloat, and has improved animation. I absolutely loved your first reaction to "Mr Sandman" in 42, they set the scene so perfectly for it.
Theres only one dynamic i love more than vegeta & cell and thats goku & cell. Just wait you in for some laughs😂
