Yes Goku really did take Cell to King Kai's planet in the original show. When using instant transmission over long distances the user needs another ki signature to lock on to. The only person that Goku could think of in the moment that would be out of the way of Earth was King Kai. Fun fact, they still haven't brought King Kai back to life since then. Also, yes you can charge a Kamehameha with one hand, but it's probably a lot less effective. However Gohan had so much raw power at this point that even injured and one handed he was more than capable of matching Cell's full power. He was actually significantly holding back up until that point, and in the actual show it took Goku convincing him that he shouldn't worry about collateral damage for him to unleash his full power on Cell. Add in a distraction from Vegeta, and you get a complete victory for Gohan. Goku's reasoning does actually make a fair bit of sense when only factoring in enemies from DBZ and not OG Dragon Ball. Raditz only showed up on Earth because he knew that his brother would be there, therefore if Goku hadn't been on Earth Raditz never would've shown up. If Raditz hadn't arrived, then Vegeta and Nappa never would've learned of the dragon balls and would have had no reason to go to Earth. If the Saiyan saga didn't happen then Frieza never learns about the dragon balls either, and never would've gone to Namek to get them, and therefore never would've gone to Earth after losing on Namek. And finally if Goku hadn't been around to completely dismantle the Red Ribbon Army in OG Dragon Ball, then Dr. Gero probably wouldn't have made the androids or Cell to kill Goku. An argument could be made that if Goku didn't destroy the Red Ribbon Army that they could have conquered Earth, but that isn't guaranteed, and also that isn't a world ending threat, which is what Goku is ultimately concerned about when making the decision to stay dead. Another thing in this episode is whether Bulma could have removed Android 17 and 18's bombs. It's possible, however it's important to remember that they are both mostly organic, and android 16 was entirely robotic, so the margin of error is much slimmer, and Bulma has far less experience with surgery that with robotics. So while it's possible that she could have removed their bombs, it's probably best to just avoid taking the risk and have Shenron deal with it instead. Not so fun fact about that Android 16 picture at the end. Toriyama has stated before that Android 16 didn't actually go to the afterlife, because he didn't have a soul. Teamfourstar decided to change that, and most agree that it's a good change.
Depends on imagination. Using legs, one handed, multiple people doing it at once (family kamehameha), delayed sphere version (against frieza when underwater), instant kamehameha. Personally I want goku to sneeze out a kamehameha out of nowhere... At least once
It's honestly not possible...for a parody to make me sob over a death of a character. Rest in peace Abridged 16, you were the most human out of any android out there.
Cell's song sums perfectly the show... TFS did what they wanted their way and did everything through form begging to end... It is truly a beautiful song to a beautiful show
Also, a lot of the dialogue from 21:00 on was double entendre for DBZA ending, because going into Episode 60 we had no idea if TFS was planning on continuing with the Buu Saga. So while the ending stinger is now unfortunate, the later decision to let this be the ending makes the dialogue work even better.
This episode actually brought me to tears when I first saw it--I'd been watching DBZA for five years, through some really tough times in my life. Even though the episodes took a long time to produce, I always had another one to look forward to. But when Goku said he wasn't afraid of change, and was gone for now, it really got to me. But it's a testament to what TFS made that it was a sort of bittersweet feeling: this felt like the perfect end to the series.
@@vinnie666 He couldn't do that because to use instant transmission, he needs to lock on to somebody's energy signal. he HAD to take it to a place where someone was, and King Kai's planet was probably the least casualties
Adds a lot to Vegeta's character that he's the only one staying back and helping out distracting Cell. That's how it was in the manga. In the anime, they dragged this beam battle out, and everyone helped in, lessening Vegeta's assist a lot.
I can't not tear up when the music box version of Day of Fate shows up followed by that final image of 16. I miss this so much, but it ended fine where it ended. I wouldn't want Scott and Lani to keep doing the series if it meant the channel would get struck and terminated and they'd lose their passion in writing it.
Also in my opinion it simply is the best ending possible. They did what Toriyama was too afraid of and let go at its highest point. Especially cuz there simply is no way to top that perfect Cell with a "Buu wants candy"
No goddamn WAY they named a Slugma IVAN OOZE 🤣🤣 I went through my old VHS collection last night and watched the original Power Ranger movie with my girlfriend 🤣 This timeline I swear to God lmao
The genius of DBZA is the key to any good satire. Whilst it mercilessly mocks how insane the source material is, it only peels always the layers of crazy to show us the big, beautiful heart underneath, and DBZ has a big friggin' heart. Also, yeah, 10/10 for krillin's arc, man stepped up and got his roses.
The King Dog was a character in the lore and the OG Dragonball. Back in OG he was held hostage by Piccolo Senior when he tried to conquer the world and in the background lore, Bulma mentions that one of the wishes in the past was used by someone to become a King. King Dog is the only real king with authority we see in this series, so one can speculate that the dog barked at the dragon balls someone else were going to use and got made sentient by the dragon.
@@yonyalexander3833 Dende actually nixed immortality in the Dragon Balls for two wishes while still having Multi Rez, lol. Better that way, no one trying a Frieza or Vegeta.
I still dont want to accept the fact that it's over. It hurts because I was there from the beginning. I started watching DBZA when I was in elementary school and it ended when I was in highschool. I spent my entire youth loving this series and it hurts knowing it's gone. It truly was something beautiful and TFS deserves all the praise for it.
8:50 Yes, Goku did take Cell to King Kai's. His Instant Transmission ability requires him to "lock on" to someone's energy to teleport to, so the only place he could go away from Earth was King Kai's place.
It doesn't technically need him to "Lock On" to something to use Instant Transmission. He can still use it, but by locking on to someone's energy first lets him guide himself and not overshoot his destination. Locking on to King Kai just gave Goku a destination that would guarantee Cell's blast wouldn't affect the Earth.
@@calvindibartolo2686 Namek was too far away for him to go in a single teleport. He needed to go to King Kai's planet to get in range. This probably isn't true in DBZA but to be fair, Goku can teleport to the vacuum of space in DBZA.
@@calvindibartolo2686 uh... yeah. that's what I was referring to when I said "this probably isn't true in DBZA". in canon, Goku needed to make a stop at King Kai's to know where to look. Once he was on Namek, he still went back to King Kai's to get back to Earth which means Namek was too far away to IT to. In DBZA, this could still be true hence the "probably".
Ain't even been too long since the ending, yet watching it again feels so nostalgic. TFS are truly great at what they do. Now for the epilogue and the Kai and then the series finally comes to its close.
Weird thing is, I can kinda see Goku’s reasoning of staying dead to keep them safe. In the Buu saga, the fact that shit didn’t start gettin active til after he came back to Earth for the day kinda lends to that fact and just about every villain in Super, sans Champa, showin up cause of him is like “yea
Pretty sure things were active BEFORE Goku was brought back for that one day. Buu was not his fault. Beerus also got a premonition from the Oracle Fish when Goku was a baby. Beerus wasn't his fault. You could even say Goku Black was the fault of Beerus for bringing him to Universe 10 in the first place. Tournament of Power was definitely Goku. Goku got involved with Moro because of Jako, and Granolah was all on Bardock. So no, pretty much just Res F and ToP are on Goku's shoulders after Cell.
@@TehGamesaver ToP wasn’t Goku’s fault. Goku only sped up when the ToP would happen because Zeno already wanted to do another Tournament. Also, Zeno was gonna erase every universe expect one so really Goku saved every universe 💀
@@TehGamesaver while I believe this is fair I think it is also fair to say that with Buu coming not because of him makes a lot of sense why he decided to come back after the Buu saga instead of stay dead. Though counter point the premonition and Beerus going to earth is still kinda his fault as if he didn’t exist then he the premonition doesn’t happen and he doesn’t go to earth.
@@TehGamesaver crime might have been happening, but no major world ending threats started up until after he came back for the day, which while yes wasn’t cause of him, but the coincidence is too uncanny. The Beerus thing is cause of him, since if he didn’t exist, the Oracle Fish wouldn’t have given Beerus that premonition. Goku Black is literally cause Goku washed up Zamasu so bad he had to take his body. Granola and Moro are understandable
Tfs may not be doing buu anymore, maybe someday who knows, but this feels like a perfect finale, tfs did it as one being put it: “I DID IT MYYYYYYY WAAAAAAAYYYYY”
@19:30 Trunks got brought back to live and his first words were "got my clothes back". It was a quick call back to the scene in the Frieza/Goku fight with naked dead Vegeta talking to Goku and Goku telling him when he died he appeared in the other world with clothes, but not the ones he died in. Vegeta was not happy.
Now that you're done with the series you need to watch: "The the freeza saga in 5 minutes" and "The cell saga in 5 minutes". They're live action and hilarious.
I fkin LOVE this series. DBZA NEVER gets old for me. I've seen it over 20 times... memorized all the good lines... and yet I love watching along with someone experiencing it for the first time. It's a treat.
"Couldn't bulma do that for 17 and 18?" Yes but 17 and 18 didn't trust them yet at this point, this gesture from Krillin went a long way in changing that.
From what I understand 17 and 18 aren’t full androids, they’re still part human (hence the original cyborg naming scheme.) You’d just be cutting through human muscle trying to carve the bomb out lol.
bigger issue is that they are both humans that got modified: removing the bombs on them is more akin ot surgery which is likely not worth the risk when you got a magical wish granting dragon on retainer.
That bit about the dying bit I liked a lot because he's basically saying "you're the only person here who's holding him back, so give it your all and save your friends and family"
27:35 What I love about this ending is that they used the final "Battle of Gods" soundtrack (which, I'm surprised you didn't notice, since you watched it recently), and it's *sooo* goddamn fitting for the finale.
To be fair about the bombs, 16 was an actual android. 17 and 18 are cyborgs, so it would essentially be a regular surgery, something Bulma probably can't do since she isn't a surgeon. Additionally, there's no way to know if their bombs are rigged to detonate if they try to remove them. 16's was in his chest to be used as a weapon instead of to control him, so his not being like that doesn't mean 17 and 18's wouldn't be.
@@SunSeeker492 Of corse it has, even more when we're talking about jack, who constantly forgets about everything, even though he played DBZ Kakarot, he probably forgot atleast 50% of Boo saga until this point
Goku actually made sense when he wanted to stay dead... literally the next villain comes by without knowing who goku is after an entire 7 years of peace Also his speech at the end is really good AND makes sense... Perfect ending to Goku's character in abridged Edit: although they did him dirty when they had to make Gohan explain it
DBZ Abridged has the most satisfying end of anything. 19:23 He wasn't running on the Snake Way, if that's what you mean. King Yemma is at the start of it. 20:27 And this is what pretty much everyone ignores. People love to go "Goku is bad dad cause he'd rather be dead", but at like half the villains showed up specifically because of him. Piccolo was born just to kill Goku. And what happens the one day he comes back? Buu happens, that's what. Then Beerus comes around looking for him, he really is a magnet of danger. 22:33 Nothing. He was just goofing around with stuff like "pearl necklace for his girlfriend" or something. 23:03 16 is an androind, a full robot, you can just turn him off and on again. You sure she can handle all organic stuff? 29:12 What do you think that sound was? Tenshinhan has third eye, Krillin has third leg.
The Dog is actually the president and can talk, in the show when goku and the others appear on TV for the Cell Games he recalls Kid Goku from when he saved him from Piccolo’s Dad, King Piccolo waaaaay back in DragonBall
"Why did he assume it was Tien picking him up?" Just like Cell said when he came back, at that level they're at now, everyone else is so weak by comparison, they can't tell the difference between them just by sensing it. And Gohan said at that point he was unable to see or hear so he had to rely on sensing them
I'll be honest, my biggest gripe is cutting Piccolo and the others jumping in and trying to help before Vegeta takes his shot. That was always one of my favorite moments in all of Dragonball. The whole "going down fighting" thing has always been inspiring to me and I'd love to see what TFS could have done with it. Give everyone a real hero moment in a silly show.
in the german dub it has been explained since the OG dragonball: people who died of natural causes or commited suicide are out in case of the dragon, which means no ressurrection. that's why goku couldnt be wished back in future-trunks reality, cuz he died of heart failure/natural selection.
On Goku’s reasoning it actually makes sense because Vegeta and Nappa came to earth because of Goku not because of earth as Raditz was there because his brother was there, Freeza went to earth because Goku beat him on Namek, and the androids were made to get revenge on Goku and made to be strong enough to fight him. In short all those villains were on earth because of Goku and in no way for earth. In DBZA we even hear earth talked about as a planet that wouldn’t be on Freezas radar because it wasn’t really worth it.
There are actually a few more things to watch from DBZA! - DB Kai Abridged - Celloween - Christmas Tree of Might - Plan to eradicate Christmas - Episode of Bardock - The Epilogue to EP60 - Dragon Shortz - HIFL Also Fun TFS related projects: - Hellsing Ultimate Abridged - Final Fantasy 7 Machinabridged. I just write it down here as a reminder, even if i´m repeating myself and many others here, but can´t hurt to see it double or triple. :D
The thing about Cell is that he really did have the perfect dna combination (pun partially intended) based on what Toriyama had developed for DB races at the time. Frieze’s race has insane durability and survivability, Namekians have the quick healing factor, and Saiyans get a power boost after healing from near-death. Combine the three and you have something that’s incredibly difficult to kill and if you fail, it heals fast and gets even stronger when it does. If Gohan’s last push didn’t do the trick, that would’ve been it because Cell probably would’ve gotten even stronger again.
King Furry was relevant during the King Piccolo arc of Dragon Ball (pre-Z). He occasionally shows up when cutting to people who know about Goku later in the series.
Goku felt ok with staying dead because he believed that everyone left on Earth could handle whatever happened next. But Goku didn’t want to be the cause of more problems for Earth.
I don't remember if it was this one or the epilogue, but the original upload of the video had one last shot announcing TFS would eventually be back to do the Buu saga, but it got quickly edited out once they realised they were burnt out with the series. I think it's also why Goku's final speech at the lookout was written in a very particular way, as it low-key represented the state of DBZA at the time: "We MIGHT continue eventually, but for now we're ending it here."
Yes the Dog is the King of Earth in the Dragonball World, his first appearance was during the original DragonBall during the Piccolo Daimaoh arc in which he saw Teen Goku defeat Piccolo. After the army fails to take down Cell, he does give a message to the world hoping for a heroe like the one that defeated Piccolo to appear, he also recognizes Piccolo and Goku in the TV transmission of the Cell Games.
17:00. The Dog is actually a Dog Cat hybrid and my head cannon is a little rusty but, apparently at some point his ancestors wished his lineage would always be the king of the earth. There’s a scene in Z where you see a hall of portraits of everyone if his fore fathers as king.
Yeah. A lot of people look at DBZA as its own stand-alone Dub, and deservingly so because of what it became. It not only made the show more enjoyable in some aspects, but added things that fleshed out characters and their lore, along with keeping a cohesive, pretty accurate story through it's run. It's unfortunate they burned out before they could finish, but much like the original show, this almost seems like the best place for it to end.
The king actually personally know Goku, as during the Demon King Piccolo arc in OG Dragonball, young Goku saved his life and the world from King Piccolo. Him appearing again in Cell arc (for the anime anyway) was probably a throwback to that.
@@deadline6149 power levels? I mean if we are talking about manga content toriyama went on record saying kienzan could cut through anything after the buu arc but the cell saga anime made up the keinzan not working against cell. But i see no complaints about that though.
The reason Goku's goodbye was oddly sentimental was because it was the crew of the abridged series addressing the fans as they knew they weren't doing the rest of DBZ.
Well, to be perfectly honest, the Majin Buu saga felt more like filler after the saiyans, namek and android sagas... so they ended it at the perfect point in time, just like Toriyama wanted to do.
That wasn’t the only reason, they were pretty burnt out, and they were continually hit by Toei trying to completely stop them from making anything. If I remember correctly, one of the parts of episode 60 was taken down at some point.
I think he regenerated to his Perfect Form because his body remembered what it was like in that form. In short, he wouldn't have regained it if he didn't have it in the first place. As a bonus, he got a Zenkai Boost due to how close to dying he came.
I feel like gokus goodbye speech is also a message to the fans about dbza, especially in he-insight. As someone who was watching during the original release dates the fact that there was a year between episode 59 and 60, I kinda always knew that it was going to end after 60. Even though they said they’d be doing the bojack movie next, it was kinda obvious they were finished with the series. They knew they had peaked with 60, and they didn’t want to disappoint all of us by continuing forward and coming up short. I mean there’s always a chance it will come back at some point if they ever have the passion again, but I don’t think it could’ve ended better really.
i think bulma cant remove the bombs because 17 and 18 are cyborgs where as 16 is is a full robot. the fact that theyre all called androids is very inaccurate.
Before anyone says it I will try: Goku's "I'm staying dead" speech is actually a metaphor for the Abirdged series ending (it was supposed to be temporary but ended up being a permenant ending, the metaphor still stands because of the mini series that came later.)
To answer your question, it really was in his genes. Cell's body essentially had an extreme muscle memory to give him his perfect form. And his Saiyan blood gave him boost after being as close to death as he could get.
I feel like this fight is one Jack actually needs to watch, even if it's cut down. The real speech Goku gives Gohan mid beam struggle in the show is one of the best serious Goku moments in all of DBZ/DBS, in my opinion. And the beam struggle itself is fantastic.
Now that you've seen this episode, you gotta what TeamFourStar's You Say Run Goes With Anything video of the Father Son Kamahameha. It makes that scene even better. Also TeamFourStar's Home For Infinite Losers just recently released episode 7, so you'll enjoy those and have plenty to watch
It should be noted that, in canon, 16 is beyond dead since he's a total machine. Him getting an afterlife in Abridged is as close to a happy ending as he gets.

Depends on imagination. Using legs, one handed, multiple people doing it at once (family kamehameha), delayed sphere version (against frieza when underwater), instant kamehameha. Personally I want goku to sneeze out a kamehameha out of nowhere... At least once
Definitly a hype Moment back when it was first Broadcasted.
He used one as a skateboard…
Goku can do anything with the kamehameha
It's honestly not possible...for a parody to make me sob over a death of a character. Rest in peace Abridged 16, you were the most human out of any android out there.
Still misty from Goku putting his hand on Gohan's shoulder after death.
Cell's song sums perfectly the show... TFS did what they wanted their way and did everything through form begging to end... It is truly a beautiful song to a beautiful show

Notice the Krillin Owned Count went down to 37 the first time, and by the end it's 0... My man Krillin went 38 rounds with 18...
39 rounds in total not 38. remember krllins own count was at 39 then down to 38 then was at 1 before it went zero.

@@tafua_awell, he has a cock big enough that it HEFTILY hits the floor AND is apparently a grower
Also, a lot of the dialogue from 21:00 on was double entendre for DBZA ending, because going into Episode 60 we had no idea if TFS was planning on continuing with the Buu Saga. So while the ending stinger is now unfortunate, the later decision to let this be the ending makes the dialogue work even better.
I think the S4 stinger has been cut by now.
This episode actually brought me to tears when I first saw it--I'd been watching DBZA for five years, through some really tough times in my life. Even though the episodes took a long time to produce, I always had another one to look forward to. But when Goku said he wasn't afraid of change, and was gone for now, it really got to me. But it's a testament to what TFS made that it was a sort of bittersweet feeling: this felt like the perfect end to the series.
8:52 Jack... Yes, he does. He does actually takes him to King Kai🤣😅
first place he thought of... maybe if he cut out the monologue he coulda taken him to an empty planet... and left him....
@@vinnie666 He couldn't do that because to use instant transmission, he needs to lock on to somebody's energy signal. he HAD to take it to a place where someone was, and King Kai's planet was probably the least casualties
@@vinnie666 Nah, he couldn't, the monologue is just for you to feel it, the moment he touched cell he had to leave, instantaneous.
@@arosbastion7052 Couldn’t he have teleported cell to King Kai’s planet, then grabbed the inhabitants and teleported them to Earth?
@@MaximEyes it probably all happened so fast he didn’t have time to since he would have to again lock on someone’s energy on earth.
Adds a lot to Vegeta's character that he's the only one staying back and helping out distracting Cell. That's how it was in the manga. In the anime, they dragged this beam battle out, and everyone helped in, lessening Vegeta's assist a lot.
I can't not tear up when the music box version of Day of Fate shows up followed by that final image of 16. I miss this so much, but it ended fine where it ended. I wouldn't want Scott and Lani to keep doing the series if it meant the channel would get struck and terminated and they'd lose their passion in writing it.
Also in my opinion it simply is the best ending possible. They did what Toriyama was too afraid of and let go at its highest point. Especially cuz there simply is no way to top that perfect Cell with a "Buu wants candy"
knowing now that DBZA is done for good, cells swan song feels more like a fond farewell to the whole series rather than just his character
man I don’t want this series to end, it’s been such an amazing journey. Ty Jack❤️❤️❤️
Eh he's still gonna do buu saga and dbs so-
@@dragonborn2602 I think he is referring to dbza (which doesn't have a buu saga or super).

The combination of tension and comedy the beam clash had was amazing. The perfect end to DBZA imo. Even ends in a whole song!

Senzu beeeeean!!!
I sense you need a sensu
The genius of DBZA is the key to any good satire. Whilst it mercilessly mocks how insane the source material is, it only peels always the layers of crazy to show us the big, beautiful heart underneath, and DBZ has a big friggin' heart. Also, yeah, 10/10 for krillin's arc, man stepped up and got his roses.
Goku does actually take Cell to King Kai's, yes.
It took until Super I think for King Kai to get a new planet.
I think you mean until he was revived.
He had his planet in battle of gods, witch was in Z. (And I know that’s technically not cannon, but still)
where was he even living till then?
did he just camp out on snake way or what...cause thats a hilarious mental picture
@@Bigvig_of_bogvog battle of the gods doesnt that take place in the first episodes of super?
@@AmericanBrit9834 he was never revived.
Me realizing Jack has a bit more before he’s truly done the abridged series, including the HFIL series: *This party is just getting started.*
In DBZ he does bring him to King Kais as well. Actually becomes a running joke that he is never wished back
Well to be fair wishing him back doesn't really do much for him, dead or alive he's still the Kai of North.
Taka is a god-tier voice actor, between Nappa, Perfect Cell and Alucard, he is just ridiculously good.
The King Dog was a character in the lore and the OG Dragonball. Back in OG he was held hostage by Piccolo Senior when he tried to conquer the world and in the background lore, Bulma mentions that one of the wishes in the past was used by someone to become a King. King Dog is the only real king with authority we see in this series, so one can speculate that the dog barked at the dragon balls someone else were going to use and got made sentient by the dragon.
Animal people are just a thing in Dragon Ball, like Shu. So Shenron probably didn't have to make the first dog king sentient.
The fact that they did the whole of "My Way" always got me. It was sooo good
Regarding Yamcha's wish, in the manga he was gonna wish for a pricey necklace for his girlfriend because he couldn't afford it lol
Could’ve just gotten a shitload of money or immortality
@@yonyalexander3833 I don't think he would want to live forever, there's a price for everything.
I really don't think it would matter, if it looks good then that should be it.
@@yonyalexander3833 Dende actually nixed immortality in the Dragon Balls for two wishes while still having Multi Rez, lol. Better that way, no one trying a Frieza or Vegeta.
I still dont want to accept the fact that it's over. It hurts because I was there from the beginning. I started watching DBZA when I was in elementary school and it ended when I was in highschool. I spent my entire youth loving this series and it hurts knowing it's gone. It truly was something beautiful and TFS deserves all the praise for it.
8:50 Yes, Goku did take Cell to King Kai's. His Instant Transmission ability requires him to "lock on" to someone's energy to teleport to, so the only place he could go away from Earth was King Kai's place.
Or Namek (remember he *Just* got Dende). But of course that would kill more than just him, Kai and Bubbles (and Gregory I guess)
It doesn't technically need him to "Lock On" to something to use Instant Transmission. He can still use it, but by locking on to someone's energy first lets him guide himself and not overshoot his destination. Locking on to King Kai just gave Goku a destination that would guarantee Cell's blast wouldn't affect the Earth.
@@calvindibartolo2686 Namek was too far away for him to go in a single teleport. He needed to go to King Kai's planet to get in range.
This probably isn't true in DBZA but to be fair, Goku can teleport to the vacuum of space in DBZA.
@@madladdie7069 he just got Dende a week (ish) earlier to get dragon balls.
@@calvindibartolo2686 uh... yeah. that's what I was referring to when I said "this probably isn't true in DBZA".
in canon, Goku needed to make a stop at King Kai's to know where to look. Once he was on Namek, he still went back to King Kai's to get back to Earth which means Namek was too far away to IT to.
In DBZA, this could still be true hence the "probably".
Ain't even been too long since the ending, yet watching it again feels so nostalgic. TFS are truly great at what they do. Now for the epilogue and the Kai and then the series finally comes to its close.
NOOOO I DON'T WANT THIS TO END
Not for ten years at least?

@@aihina and Kai. And hfil
Weird thing is, I can kinda see Goku’s reasoning of staying dead to keep them safe. In the Buu saga, the fact that shit didn’t start gettin active til after he came back to Earth for the day kinda lends to that fact and just about every villain in Super, sans Champa, showin up cause of him is like “yea
Pretty sure things were active BEFORE Goku was brought back for that one day. Buu was not his fault. Beerus also got a premonition from the Oracle Fish when Goku was a baby. Beerus wasn't his fault. You could even say Goku Black was the fault of Beerus for bringing him to Universe 10 in the first place. Tournament of Power was definitely Goku. Goku got involved with Moro because of Jako, and Granolah was all on Bardock. So no, pretty much just Res F and ToP are on Goku's shoulders after Cell.
@@TehGamesaver ToP wasn’t Goku’s fault. Goku only sped up when the ToP would happen because Zeno already wanted to do another Tournament. Also, Zeno was gonna erase every universe expect one so really Goku saved every universe 💀
@@TehGamesaver while I believe this is fair I think it is also fair to say that with Buu coming not because of him makes a lot of sense why he decided to come back after the Buu saga instead of stay dead.
Though counter point the premonition and Beerus going to earth is still kinda his fault as if he didn’t exist then he the premonition doesn’t happen and he doesn’t go to earth.
@@TehGamesaver crime might have been happening, but no major world ending threats started up until after he came back for the day, which while yes wasn’t cause of him, but the coincidence is too uncanny. The Beerus thing is cause of him, since if he didn’t exist, the Oracle Fish wouldn’t have given Beerus that premonition. Goku Black is literally cause Goku washed up Zamasu so bad he had to take his body. Granola and Moro are understandable
@@TehGamesaver Goku gave Universe 7 a chance with the TOP, without it Zeno would have just probably erased most of the Universes.
This was such a nice journey, I usually watch this TFS series once per year and this year cause of you it became something different.. thanks
Tfs may not be doing buu anymore, maybe someday who knows, but this feels like a perfect finale, tfs did it as one being put it:
“I DID IT MYYYYYYY WAAAAAAAYYYYY”
It was spectacular to see this series again together with you.
@19:30 Trunks got brought back to live and his first words were "got my clothes back". It was a quick call back to the scene in the Frieza/Goku fight with naked dead Vegeta talking to Goku and Goku telling him when he died he appeared in the other world with clothes, but not the ones he died in. Vegeta was not happy.
Now that you're done with the series you need to watch:
"The the freeza saga in 5 minutes" and "The cell saga in 5 minutes".
They're live action and hilarious.
They made a Buu saga in five minutes
I fkin LOVE this series. DBZA NEVER gets old for me. I've seen it over 20 times... memorized all the good lines... and yet I love watching along with someone experiencing it for the first time. It's a treat.
"Couldn't bulma do that for 17 and 18?"
Yes but 17 and 18 didn't trust them yet at this point, this gesture from Krillin went a long way in changing that.
From what I understand 17 and 18 aren’t full androids, they’re still part human (hence the original cyborg naming scheme.) You’d just be cutting through human muscle trying to carve the bomb out lol.
Also 17 and 18 are part human. I'm not sure how well versed the Briefs are with human anatomy. 16 was easier cause he's fully mechanical
@@blankjosuke8602 With their advanced technology I highly doubt it will be an issue and human surgery exists.
bigger issue is that they are both humans that got modified: removing the bombs on them is more akin ot surgery which is likely not worth the risk when you got a magical wish granting dragon on retainer.
in the anime, it was literally everyone taking shots at cell, Vegeta came in at the end and landed one that actually hurt him though,
Manga was just Vegeta, though.
what jon said the multiple fighters blasting him was filler
@@shadowfan115 it was still pretty good. also the manga is always different from the show and dbza had plenty of filler
I've binged your whole series in 3 days waiting for this moment, LETS GOOOOO
That bit about the dying bit I liked a lot because he's basically saying "you're the only person here who's holding him back, so give it your all and save your friends and family"
You have 3 DBZA movies left, The 2nd Bardock episode, Tree of Might, and Plan to Eradicate Christmas
And buu bits
27:35 What I love about this ending is that they used the final "Battle of Gods" soundtrack (which, I'm surprised you didn't notice, since you watched it recently), and it's *sooo* goddamn fitting for the finale.
I literally started watching Jack for DBZA reactions, now I got so much content to watch
To be fair about the bombs, 16 was an actual android. 17 and 18 are cyborgs, so it would essentially be a regular surgery, something Bulma probably can't do since she isn't a surgeon. Additionally, there's no way to know if their bombs are rigged to detonate if they try to remove them. 16's was in his chest to be used as a weapon instead of to control him, so his not being like that doesn't mean 17 and 18's wouldn't be.
Now my boy Jack needs a watch to the DBZ Boo Saga
Yeah but there's no point if it's not dbza
he also should watch gt and super
and the specials and other movies that he hasn't seen in abridged
@@gabrielchastain6091 step by step

Goku actually made sense when he wanted to stay dead... literally the next villain comes by without knowing who goku is after an entire 7 years of peace
Also his speech at the end is really good AND makes sense...
Perfect ending to Goku's character in abridged
Edit: although they did him dirty when they had to make Gohan explain it
DBZ Abridged has the most satisfying end of anything.
19:23 He wasn't running on the Snake Way, if that's what you mean. King Yemma is at the start of it.
20:27 And this is what pretty much everyone ignores. People love to go "Goku is bad dad cause he'd rather be dead", but at like half the villains showed up specifically because of him. Piccolo was born just to kill Goku. And what happens the one day he comes back? Buu happens, that's what. Then Beerus comes around looking for him, he really is a magnet of danger.
22:33 Nothing. He was just goofing around with stuff like "pearl necklace for his girlfriend" or something.
23:03 16 is an androind, a full robot, you can just turn him off and on again. You sure she can handle all organic stuff?
29:12 What do you think that sound was? Tenshinhan has third eye, Krillin has third leg.
Krillin's growing third leg 🦵
The Dog is actually the president and can talk, in the show when goku and the others appear on TV for the Cell Games he recalls Kid Goku from when he saved him from Piccolo’s Dad, King Piccolo waaaaay back in DragonBall
I miss this series so much! But it ended amazingly!
I think the reason Bulma couldn't remove the bombs from 17 and 18 is probably because they are still part human while 16 was a pure android
It's a been a long journey for Jack and us viewers but every good thing must come to an end
"Why did he assume it was Tien picking him up?"
Just like Cell said when he came back, at that level they're at now, everyone else is so weak by comparison, they can't tell the difference between them just by sensing it. And Gohan said at that point he was unable to see or hear so he had to rely on sensing them
I'll be honest, my biggest gripe is cutting Piccolo and the others jumping in and trying to help before Vegeta takes his shot. That was always one of my favorite moments in all of Dragonball. The whole "going down fighting" thing has always been inspiring to me and I'd love to see what TFS could have done with it. Give everyone a real hero moment in a silly show.
in the german dub it has been explained since the OG dragonball: people who died of natural causes or commited suicide are out in case of the dragon, which means no ressurrection. that's why goku couldnt be wished back in future-trunks reality, cuz he died of heart failure/natural selection.
All these years and i just realised "MY BABY BOY" was a callback to King Cold.
Christ this series
Lani also used it when Ivan Ooze died in their Nuzlocke run
On Goku’s reasoning it actually makes sense because Vegeta and Nappa came to earth because of Goku not because of earth as Raditz was there because his brother was there, Freeza went to earth because Goku beat him on Namek, and the androids were made to get revenge on Goku and made to be strong enough to fight him. In short all those villains were on earth because of Goku and in no way for earth. In DBZA we even hear earth talked about as a planet that wouldn’t be on Freezas radar because it wasn’t really worth it.
There are actually a few more things to watch from DBZA!
- DB Kai Abridged
- Celloween
- Christmas Tree of Might
- Plan to eradicate Christmas
- Episode of Bardock
- The Epilogue to EP60
- Dragon Shortz
- HIFL

- Final Fantasy 7 Machinabridged.
I just write it down here as a reminder, even if i´m repeating myself and many others here, but can´t hurt to see it double or triple. :D
Fun fact. Goku did the Kamehameha with his legs, sleep well tonight.
“Gohans happy he doesn’t have to fight anymore and Gokus gone” 💀
The thing about Cell is that he really did have the perfect dna combination (pun partially intended) based on what Toriyama had developed for DB races at the time. Frieze’s race has insane durability and survivability, Namekians have the quick healing factor, and Saiyans get a power boost after healing from near-death. Combine the three and you have something that’s incredibly difficult to kill and if you fail, it heals fast and gets even stronger when it does. If Gohan’s last push didn’t do the trick, that would’ve been it because Cell probably would’ve gotten even stronger again.
Ull never hear vegeta apologies again since that’s the only time he ever says it. Im 99% sure
I never noticed but there’s a new solar flare image in cell’s song
Let's do it boys.
"And now, the end is near,"
And so i Face the final curtain!
My friend, I'll say it clear
King Furry was relevant during the King Piccolo arc of Dragon Ball (pre-Z). He occasionally shows up when cutting to people who know about Goku later in the series.
Goku felt ok with staying dead because he believed that everyone left on Earth could handle whatever happened next. But Goku didn’t want to be the cause of more problems for Earth.
I don't remember if it was this one or the epilogue, but the original upload of the video had one last shot announcing TFS would eventually be back to do the Buu saga, but it got quickly edited out once they realised they were burnt out with the series. I think it's also why Goku's final speech at the lookout was written in a very particular way, as it low-key represented the state of DBZA at the time: "We MIGHT continue eventually, but for now we're ending it here."
man i can’t tell you how amazing this watch thru was😢
Yes the Dog is the King of Earth in the Dragonball World, his first appearance was during the original DragonBall during the Piccolo Daimaoh arc in which he saw Teen Goku defeat Piccolo. After the army fails to take down Cell, he does give a message to the world hoping for a heroe like the one that defeated Piccolo to appear, he also recognizes Piccolo and Goku in the TV transmission of the Cell Games.
In a earlier episode.
18: If we make it through this I'm going to rock his 4 foot world.
And she did.
16 is mechanical whereas 17 and 18 are still mostly human with cyborg enhancements so it's out of Bulma's expertise :)
Wouldn’t it be funny if Tfs came back in 7 yrs to portray the 7 yr time skip from the cell saga to the Buu saga
17:00. The Dog is actually a Dog Cat hybrid and my head cannon is a little rusty but, apparently at some point his ancestors wished his lineage would always be the king of the earth. There’s a scene in Z where you see a hall of portraits of everyone if his fore fathers as king.
Yeah. A lot of people look at DBZA as its own stand-alone Dub, and deservingly so because of what it became. It not only made the show more enjoyable in some aspects, but added things that fleshed out characters and their lore, along with keeping a cohesive, pretty accurate story through it's run. It's unfortunate they burned out before they could finish, but much like the original show, this almost seems like the best place for it to end.
On the lookout Goku speaking to the Z Fighters was like TFS speaking to us about Abridged
If you liked Cell, you'll love TFS's Hellsing Abridged. Same guy that voices Cell (And Guru) does Alucard, the main character.
And Nappa
The goku speech was almost like a hidden message from tfs themselves since this was there they were stopping abridged
Before this fully ends you gotta watch DBZA Kai, their short but hilarious.
The king actually personally know Goku, as during the Demon King Piccolo arc in OG Dragonball, young Goku saved his life and the world from King Piccolo.
Him appearing again in Cell arc (for the anime anyway) was probably a throwback to that.
The only think I wished tfs had was the part where piccolo, tien, yamcha, and krillin all helped gohan

29:44 SCATTER BULLET! 😂
The reason Goku's goodbye was oddly sentimental was because it was the crew of the abridged series addressing the fans as they knew they weren't doing the rest of DBZ.
Well, to be perfectly honest, the Majin Buu saga felt more like filler after the saiyans, namek and android sagas... so they ended it at the perfect point in time, just like Toriyama wanted to do.
It's like the end of an era all over again
Always miss something rewatching these. Thanks man
Tfs needs to make the majin buu saga I don’t care if it’s worse than the original, they are so goated that I don’t care if it’s just jokes
That wasn’t the only reason, they were pretty burnt out, and they were continually hit by Toei trying to completely stop them from making anything. If I remember correctly, one of the parts of episode 60 was taken down at some point.
Episode 2 was a mess for them
16:42 dog king was relevant near the climax of the king piccolo arc of the original dragon ball
I think he regenerated to his Perfect Form because his body remembered what it was like in that form. In short, he wouldn't have regained it if he didn't have it in the first place. As a bonus, he got a Zenkai Boost due to how close to dying he came.
I feel like gokus goodbye speech is also a message to the fans about dbza, especially in he-insight. As someone who was watching during the original release dates the fact that there was a year between episode 59 and 60, I kinda always knew that it was going to end after 60. Even though they said they’d be doing the bojack movie next, it was kinda obvious they were finished with the series. They knew they had peaked with 60, and they didn’t want to disappoint all of us by continuing forward and coming up short. I mean there’s always a chance it will come back at some point if they ever have the passion again, but I don’t think it could’ve ended better really.
i think bulma cant remove the bombs because 17 and 18 are cyborgs where as 16 is is a full robot. the fact that theyre all called androids is very inaccurate.
Before anyone says it I will try: Goku's "I'm staying dead" speech is actually a metaphor for the Abirdged series ending (it was supposed to be temporary but ended up being a permenant ending, the metaphor still stands because of the mini series that came later.)
To answer your question, it really was in his genes. Cell's body essentially had an extreme muscle memory to give him his perfect form. And his Saiyan blood gave him boost after being as close to death as he could get.
I feel like this fight is one Jack actually needs to watch, even if it's cut down. The real speech Goku gives Gohan mid beam struggle in the show is one of the best serious Goku moments in all of DBZ/DBS, in my opinion. And the beam struggle itself is fantastic.
And thus you've seen the peak of Dragon Ball. It has it's ups and downs after this, but never again reaches this level.
Now that you've seen this episode, you gotta what TeamFourStar's You Say Run Goes With Anything video of the Father Son Kamahameha.
It makes that scene even better.
Also TeamFourStar's Home For Infinite Losers just recently released episode 7, so you'll enjoy those and have plenty to watch
