@@RadioactiveSince1990x Tien is by far the strongest pure human in the entire canon. Dude literally held semiperfect Cell down with TriBeams, giving 18 time to escape being absorbed. I bet in the Android Saga that Tien could've forced Frieza into using his final form.
@@jmcsquared18 Absolutely, and he should have been using Kaioken as well, he spent more time training with Kai than even Goku did. Tien is selfless and willing to use his own life force to face stronger enemies. Imagine how badass Tien using Kaioken would look.
Tien was bodying 2nd form Cell for like a hour until he ran out of energy. Unfortunately being a human has it's limits but he pretty much reached a level of probably Namek Goku he could likely solo the entire Ginyu Force at this point at the same time.
You can already see the heart virus beginning to affect Goku. Very subtle touches in the animation. Faint sweat droplets, the quick head turn, the gutteral edge to his voice, his punch doing little more than knocking Gero’s hat off. You can tell even here that something’s not right.

It's nice just seeing Goku, Piccolo and Tien as a team. Those 3 have some history together, and the latter two both served as main antagonists in the past, yet it's a rare trio.

Funny thing is I was born when it first ended as to be my Birthdate back on January 31st, 1996 from Japan🇯🇵 then it first released in the United States🇺🇸 back on September 13, 1996 & then ended on April 7, 2003. It truly makes me a Real Legend when Dragon Ball Z became the Best Anime in History which I should be blessed & proud of when everything changed back in 1996 to what God bring us in the United States🇺🇸 from Japan🇯🇵 we all wouldn’t have been Anime Fans if Dragon Ball Z never even existed if it wasn’t for Japan🇯🇵😊🙂🙃😀😃😄😁😆🤣😂🥺😭😩📺.

0:48-0:55 always looked so badass. Tien, knowing he’s probably not strong enough but still brave to stand up. Piccolo, could take out both but is still unsure of what will come. Goku, angry, confident, intense, and ready to fight.
The beginning of this saga was all too real considering that an unseen enemy of the past came back to haunt Goku some 20 years later. Very dramatic. And then it had gotten "unreal" when 17 and 18 surfaced. Then the nightmare Cell emerged and achieved his perfection. The Android saga was the pinnacle of the DBZ franchise and has the best story line out of any anime out there.
The Android saga is the only really good part of the entire Artificial Human arc. Everything involving Cell is an utter mess, badly written and one giant gapping plothole. Cell's entire backstory for example, makes no sense!
@@LordMalice6d9In a way, you are right, but it was actually the best, but keep in mind, the story had inconsistencies because of heavy US editing. Cell's back story was edited as well. A lot of anime stories are ruined for the better or the worse like Sailor Moon, the beginning. The US version was a s%%t show if you run it side by side with the JP version. There were a lot of things that did not make any sense until you watch the JP version. It would had actually upset a lot of parents if they didn't do any editing... There were a lot of same sex relationships around every corner, yet they allowed the fantasies to ship through like a 14 year old girl in love with a 27 year old man.
1:47 Can we take a moment to appreciate that, for all that Gero was the driving force behind this entire arc (even posthumously), and for how he himself was driven solely by Goku, this single punch is the one & only time these two actually came to blows?
this scene exudes "first series" from every pore. we have Goku (protagonist) together with those who were a ferocious and ruthless rival (Tien) and a deadly archenemy (Piccolo) who are about to face two andorids of the Red Ribbon. practically, we have all brought together the key points of the first DB series
This was back from when parents weren't softies and let their kid watch any anime they wanted. Now, they are very cautious for when they even let them watch Spongebob🤦🏻♂️
@@angelvillegas9604 Buu Saga was way more light-hearted overall with Mr. Satan, Gotenks, Fat Buu etc. Android arc was way more dark and serious especially with the whole time travelling thing. Only King Piccolo saga was darker than Android Saga.
@@DynastyZwarrior90 Buu saga had some brutal scenes. As well and how super Buu killed that man. Or were those guys kill two old couple with a sniper in the head. Or when Buu kills babidi and his headless body pulses with blood you probably watched the censored version of the Buu saga
@@angelvillegas9604 I'm talking about the arc in general not some certain deaths scenes. Cell absorbing people was way more brutal than Buu turning people into candies and chocolates.
valleyking15 yeah, the original timeline fight would potentially been very different. As much as the Z fighters had Goku who was always striving to be stronger and Vegeta chasing Goku’s power it’s doubtful that any of them would have been as strong without Trunks warning them. The combined motivation of the Androids arrival and in Vegeta’s case yet another unknown (at that point) super saiyan level fighter for him to chase would have made a significant difference
@@ColonelMetus Trunks warned him about “two androids” but didn’t specify so at this point Goku thought these were the two Trunks was talking about. Goku hadn’t seen 17 and 18 yet
@alexanderren1097 Goku knew these weren't the right Androids because trunks told him and then he had a vision of them when he was having his virus fever, Goku already knew about 17 and 18 because future trunks came from the future to the past and warned him about the two Androids, after trunks came from the future Gewku knew about the Androids and he spent 3 years training and he defeated the first two Androids before the third android made Cell and the other 3 Androids
Man. I'd really like to see where Toriyama would have gone with these two had he been able to do what he wanted. There's just something weirdly sinister about Android 20/Doctor Gero. Oddly enough, the fact that he's just an old man kind of adds to it. He's just so cold.
Toriyama built up these androids and meant for 19 and 20 to be the villains, then the studio looked at them and thought they were far too silly looking to be the villains, so then Toriyama came up with 17 and 18, but then came up with 16 as well, these too were looked down by the studio so then he came with up Cell as the true villain of the android saga. There was alot of interference in the production and that's why it feels messy compared to the saiyan and Namek sagas. The build up and introduction were great, but I have to agree that 19 and 20 were just too silly looking. The other androids were fine as far as I'm concerned but I'm glad we got Cell as the final villain, he is definitely the scariest and best villain of the lot of them.
It's not the studio that complained, but Kazuhiko Torishima, Toriyama's ex-editor. He was no longer supposed to have a say, but he still called Toriyama to tell him: "so, that's the greatest threat the Earth has ever faced? A fatso and an old geezer? Surely, you can do better!". That's why Toriyama created 16, 17, and 18. But Torishima was still not satisfied, and he called back Toriyama: "great, now it's a bunch of emo kids! Find something else!". And that's how Toriyama came up with Cell. Because he listened to the negative feedback from his former editor. But then, it was his new editor, Yū Kondō, who was not satisfied with Cell's design, and that's how we ended up with Perfect Cell.
We clearly saw a woman and her child survive, yet 19 says there's nobody left alive. That's how you could tell he was gonna lose. Already malfunctioning smh. Maybe if he ate less oil.
Man, the worst thing to happen in DBZ was dr gero if you think about it. Gero only observed gokus fights with vegeta and nappa, and somehow had the data to replicate there techniques and ki manipulation organically. If he never had access to a saiyan like goku, androids would have never been this powerful. Gero stumbled on a gold mine of information, but man, it ended up creating the worst androids ever and even his super computer ended up creating cell with the information on namek. Weird how humans were the biggest threat to earth in a way.
This is so hilarious to watch now because at this point it's abundantly clear that Android 20 is Dr Gero and you can _see_ that he doesn't have an artificial brain, so instead of before when I was like "he's a glitchy robot with not enough understanding of how reality works" as a less-comprehensive kid, I see Android 20 blow up the city and realize he's not doing it because he's an inferior AI, he's doing it because he's a huge dickhead.
The android saga is perfection in my opinion. And Bruce's score is flawlessly dark and brooding as always. The other versions without his score really lack the intensity the scenes required. I've seen snippets of the more recent dragon ball series, super, gt, etc and I got to say they really are missing the magic, finesse and drama that the older series captured so well. Everyone tells me I got to watch Super fully and give it a chance but, much of what I have seen already seems cliche and repetitive and makes me think it will be an exhausting experience.The older series really had some diverse, interesting, unique moments, themes and messages. And it's that originality that I often miss with more modern television shows.
I use to think gero was like dr willy or dr robotnik of dbz. As the main villain but i started watching it in the middle. Hell i didnt know who goku was at the start. I was flipping through the channels and noticed the show myself when i was in highschool in 2000. 😂
The creator never liked this goku he said he didn’t like how they painted him a hero instead of a martial artist who likes to fight. Super is what the series was originally supposed to go but seeing how it was popular overseas he had to appeal to everybody. Super is really for the Japanese fans not the overseas fans and that’s okay but I wish he would appeal to us overseas fans like he did with Z and the Z movies
@Juan Francisco Zarate A lack of creative effort and an abundance of greed is what happened here. I'll summarize: Akira Toriyama sold-out to Toei Animation in order to make another Dragon Ball series (Dragon Ball Super) and thus regressed Goku's intellectual character-development back to the beginning of DBZ to make Goku's character easy to script-write for; this is why DBS Goku acts so idiotic most of the time. Akira only cares about making $$$ now, and thus he made his characters as simplistic as possible, which requires the smallest amount of effort on his and his staff's part to make DBS's production possible. THAT is why Goku and his peers will never again be as well-developed in DBS as they were in DBZ~
@@Kahanami I second that opinion whole-heartedly; the USA version of the DBZ characters are 100% more well-developed than the Japanese version of the DBZ characters~
@@maliekbrown8437not true because this happened in the manga. Also if super was what toriyama wanted he would have never stepped in to take over the manga from toyotaro
If Goku wasn’t sick him and Piccolo would have destroyed Gero and 19 Goku was crushing 19 until the heart virus kicked in and Piccolo was throwing Gero around like a rag doll and that was after having energy taken from him
Agreed android 19 and 20 were truly the weak ones in comparison to 16, 17, 18, and cell if it wasn't for that virus gero never would've those androids and cell might never have absorbed them
@@angelvillegas9604yeah but goku never stops training he just dies 6 months prior to may 12 in trunks timeline so that prob caused most of the z fighters not to train as well especially vegeta and gohan was a kid still and had neither goku or piccolo to train him anymore
This was the type of stuff Super was missing. The first two arcs were retreads. The U6 tournament was just that. No stakes, even if they tried to make it seem like there were. The future Saga's destruxtiob had already happened off screen. We got Zamasu flattening the planet which was cool, but only lasted a few seconds before we got the Zeno nonsense. The ToP had the same issues. A lot of fun but no stakes. We all knew all the universes woukd get revived in the end.
If I’m not mistaking, I believe that this should have been Android 17 and 18 that showed up to the city to wreak havoc but ever since trunks showed up this timeline took a hard right and went down a different path where Gero didn’t activate the androids yet.
Remember Trunks wasn't there for this event he only has accounts from history and from his mom, who most likely didn't meet Android 19 and 20 when they first arrived.
@@JohnnyDominion This is absolutely correct. There is no reason to believe 19 and 20 didn't show up in Trunks' timeline, and probably did in fact kill one or two of the Z fighters before being stopped by Vegeta, leading Gero to escape and activate 17 and 18, thus killing the remaining. Everyone wants to attribute the lack of Trunks being aware of 19 and 20 to some butterfly effect, when in actuality, the more reasonable explanation is that Trunk's was a baby, Bulma never actually saw the battle(in the Trunks timeline at least), and Gohan didn't find it notable enough to mention, or wasn't aware himself, or wasn't involved in the initial battle until 17 and 18 were already active.
@@PPKNexus If I'm not mistaken in the manga, when Trunks tells Goku what will happen in three years, he actually refers to the androids that attack as 19 and 20.
@@thedude9941 That is correct, he does. However, he then goes on to contradict himself a few chapters and say 17 & 18 were the ones he was talking about all along. This was due to Toriyama intending for the only villains to be 19 & 20 originally. The manga goes on to pretend he said 17 & 18 all along and gaslights the readers. It was a mistake and should be disregarded when forming both head canon and hypothesis' in general.
Doctor Gero: “But you are too late. The entire population of the city had been reduced to ash. Now no one shall interfere with my revenge.” Goku: “Actually, I’m pretty sure you only ….” Piccolo: “YES!!!! The ENTIRE POPULATION!!!!!!”
I always loved Bruce falconer music from dragon ball z it’s really awesome and as a person who grew up with this dub it’s pretty cool to hear this again.
Wow you got to love that Dragon ball villain psychopathy i think the dragon ball franchise has some of the best villains I've seen in a anime i can think of any other anime that had nearly as much moments where i was floored by something pure evil the villains did
People who didnt grow up with the Bruce Faulconer composed DBZ like to use Dr. Gero’s theme and “circus” sounding part in particular as the reason why this version sucks compared to the original. I say, it enhanced the HELL out of this scene. Was chaotic as all hell when I first seen this 😅
@@DarkDoge only times I heard Kikuchi’s music in DBZ was when I watched the older movies like dead zone. That was when Ocean dub was still a thing in the states though 😅
Gotta be honest! Android 20 eat that punch gave him. Maybe some indication that Goku was weaker because of the illness. The guy didn’t even flinch that much.
Not gonna lie the android music is hella creepy. It added to the impact of how cold Gero and 19 was. No emotion after the kill of all life on the island
And to think Dr.Gero had a hand in every event after The Cell Saga regardless of people knew it or not! The world didn’t come to an end and life began to thrive all the way to The Buu Saga, he created a new 17 with Myu in GT, Goku Black learning of the events Trunks did with Time Travel in Super, and his creation in 17 won The Tournament Of Power….the man’s legacy lived on waaaaay after his death
One can say Dr. Gero the one Earthling whose heart was truly evil akin to the likes of Frieza, Cell, Kid Buu. He has no problem destroying innocents to get what he wants and spent decades creating killing machines that ultimately killed him in the end.
Given how tight Goku is I'm surprised he didn't just go Super Saiyan right there and destroy Gero with one punch. If Gero was weak enough to have his arms ripped off by Piccolo, then he's quite weak. I miss the original dub for this though when it aired on CN in 2000, Android 19 had a more robotic filter going on
@@RigbyIsTheMan Still, it doesn't really make sense that he didn't power up after seeing what he did to Yamcha let alone the entire city. That alone should've enraged him greatly. This is slightly before Goku started feeling effects of the virus, so while he still would've got sick, at least the doctor would be down and they'd never be able to find the lab as a result. If Piccolo was more than capable of killing Gero, which he would've if not for Trunks suddenly coming back and taking his surprise thus giving Gero time to get into the lab. It's an interesting idea, the boy from the future comes back to see how things are and ends up making things even worse, although in the manga Vegeta said he'd kill anyone who got in the way of activating the androids. No doubt if Vegeta was in base Trunks would immediately power up and kill him just to prevent this. Even if Vegeta did activate them, they'd be really confused like why are we being activated by someone who isn't the doctor, and there are still the shutdown buttons, Trunks could snag them without anyone noticing possibly. A lot of what ifs in this arc. Trunks could've done this and just shut them down and destroyed them in the original future. But more likely everything played out mostly the same except Trunks went back in time to the original timeline with the blueprints for Bulma to make self-destruct buttons since Cell wasn't in that timeline except for the egg which I'm sure they blew up. Krillin probably also was not given the switch but someone else as a result of circumstances changing, or just blew up only 17 lol. Either way there's no way Trunks beat them alone.
Piccolo couldn't kill Android 19 nor 20 at full charged power. Dr. Gero wasn't at full strength when he fought Piccolo, thats why he went out absorbing energy.
Here is a theory, what if Androids 19 and 20 were the first ones who arrived on the island in Future Trunks timeline before Androids 17 and 18. They get to the island and start blowing up buildings, the Z-Fighters hear the news and show up to fight with them. Piccolo and Vegeta end up killing Android 19, while Android 20 escapes. The Z-Fighters leave to go watch over Goku as he is feeling the effects of his Heart Virus, then Goku passes away the next evening. Three months later, Dr. Gero activates Androids 17 and 18, telling them that Goku died from a Heart Virus. He tells the twin androids to now focus on world domination, but they have different plans and kill Dr. Gero. Another three months pass by Androids 17 and 18 decide to head to the island to have some fun and start blowing up buildings left and right. Vegeta, Piccolo and the rest of the Z-Fighters hear about it on TV and fly towards the island, without knowing that it would be their final fight to the death, and they would be reunited with Goku in Other World on that same day.
It sucks that these two showed up all intimidatingly and ended up having pretty pathetic deaths. I kinda wish Toriyama didn't reject the idea of making these two the main antagonists in this saga.
He didn't. His editors rejected them as the villains. They thought Gero and Android 19 weren't intimidating enough cause they were just "an old geezer and a fat clown". So that's when Android's 17 and 18 were created but this time Toriyama's editors rejected them as being "a couple of punk teen brats". As a result we got Cell.
@@coryames1170 That's true and then the editor's rejected cell's first form, which led to the sub plot of him having to absorb 17 and 18 to transform. It really shows what a mess this arc was due to too much editorial medaling, I often wonder what this arc might have been like had Toriyama been allowed to stick with his original plan, he even said himself he thought 19 and 20 were fine and would have kept them as the main villains if it was up to him.
@@DarkDoge They weren't as impactful or serious, and felt more like a children's show where as the original DBZ and GT had a more serious tone that while they had silly moments here and there still always returned to extremes that brought the real emotional integrity back to the series which made you feel like the writer cared. I'd say Super feels like it was just extremely safe and didn't want to try anything other than making money while using the old popular faces and concepts the fans knew. Sort of like how Disney's Star War's movies felt, and Kai was basically just the concept of, (how much content can we cut out before people get upset? Oh, wait we can keep cutting out content and won't lose money?)
@@Squashylemon of course! It's probably the music with kai. Of course we can't hear the og soundtrack for kai because of the guy who made it plagrizied music. A lot of the original soundtracks for dbz were in mono, so I'm guessing they avoided those to have the new audio remain in stereo/5.1 surround sound. I enjoyed kai, watched a lot of the episodes and it had a lot of goofy moments still there but kept the extreme serious tone. It just it goes by faster because of the removal of fillers. It's pretty close to the Manga. That's what they were going for. And the reason for the cut for blood is because of the dumb censorship nowadays with Japan. It is extremely dumb. The Manga had very graphic moments, so I don't understand this censorship as well.
@@Squashylemon Exactly! The best example of Kai being more for children is when Vegeta is fighting 18 and blows up a truck with his big bang attack. In the orginal, the truck driver clearly dies. In Kai, they have the truck driver survive by not showing him but him screaming "hey my truck" after the attack. They watered the product down too much with Kai regardless of whether it was more faithful to the manga.
These were originally supposed to be the ones who took over trunk's future but they changed it late in development wonder what would've happened if they kept this idea years before goku black and God's of destruction and all that still fun in their own way 😊😊

Anyone reaize how dark this moment was? Gero literally wiped any humans closeby and android 19 confirmed noone left alive. O_o
Android 19 says this, however it really is not stated in the Japanese dub. But there is too much damage. So there has to be a lot of dead folks. ;(

@@cephalonplant4087 well they’re probably the only people in the area who survived
0:48-0:55 always looked so badass. Tien, knowing he’s probably not strong enough but still brave to stand up. Piccolo, could take out both but is still unsure of what will come. Goku, angry, confident, intense, and ready to fight.
Well said
The beginning of this saga was all too real considering that an unseen enemy of the past came back to haunt Goku some 20 years later. Very dramatic. And then it had gotten "unreal" when 17 and 18 surfaced. Then the nightmare Cell emerged and achieved his perfection. The Android saga was the pinnacle of the DBZ franchise and has the best story line out of any anime out there.
The Android saga is the only really good part of the entire Artificial Human arc.
Everything involving Cell is an utter mess, badly written and one giant gapping plothole. Cell's entire backstory for example, makes no sense!
@@LordMalice6d9In a way, you are right, but it was actually the best, but keep in mind, the story had inconsistencies because of heavy US editing. Cell's back story was edited as well. A lot of anime stories are ruined for the better or the worse like Sailor Moon, the beginning. The US version was a s%%t show if you run it side by side with the JP version. There were a lot of things that did not make any sense until you watch the JP version. It would had actually upset a lot of parents if they didn't do any editing... There were a lot of same sex relationships around every corner, yet they allowed the fantasies to ship through like a 14 year old girl in love with a 27 year old man.
Definitely
1:47 Can we take a moment to appreciate that, for all that Gero was the driving force behind this entire arc (even posthumously), and for how he himself was driven solely by Goku, this single punch is the one & only time these two actually came to blows?
The way 19 bends out of the way of 20s eye laser always makes me laugh.😂
this scene exudes "first series" from every pore. we have Goku (protagonist) together with those who were a ferocious and ruthless rival (Tien) and a deadly archenemy (Piccolo) who are about to face two andorids of the Red Ribbon. practically, we have all brought together the key points of the first DB series

The android and cell sagas were easily the darkest sagas in the entire dbz show
Nah it was the buu saga. Buu killed the whole planet. Buu was far more evil and dark
@@angelvillegas9604 Buu Saga was way more light-hearted overall with Mr. Satan, Gotenks, Fat Buu etc. Android arc was way more dark and serious especially with the whole time travelling thing. Only King Piccolo saga was darker than Android Saga.
@@DynastyZwarrior90 Buu saga had some brutal scenes. As well and how super Buu killed that man. Or were those guys kill two old couple with a sniper in the head. Or when Buu kills babidi and his headless body pulses with blood you probably watched the censored version of the Buu saga
@@angelvillegas9604 I'm talking about the arc in general not some certain deaths scenes. Cell absorbing people was way more brutal than Buu turning people into candies and chocolates.

As weak as 19 and 20 were this scene and music made them my favourite androids:)
You gotta think if they hadn't been warned 19 and 20 would've been stronger
valleyking15 yeah, the original timeline fight would potentially been very different. As much as the Z fighters had Goku who was always striving to be stronger and Vegeta chasing Goku’s power it’s doubtful that any of them would have been as strong without Trunks warning them. The combined motivation of the Androids arrival and in Vegeta’s case yet another unknown (at that point) super saiyan level fighter for him to chase would have made a significant difference
The weren't weak trunks warned them
@@brendanpowell6043 if Goku had still died i think then Dr Gero had no reason to go out and find Goku and Android 17 and 18 would have appeared
They were either on Frieza level or a little stronger so they weren't that weak but yeah i agree the music was awesome!
There are no people left to leave out...... Jesus tapdancing mother of Christ, that is a scary line of dialog.
When Goku realized they were just as evil as Trunks said. Epic moment
These actually aren't the Androids Goku was warned about, these are different Androids
@@ColonelMetusyeah but Goku didn’t know that at the time.
@@alexanderren1097 No, Goku knew these weren't the Androids because Trunks warned him
@@ColonelMetus Trunks warned him about “two androids” but didn’t specify so at this point Goku thought these were the two Trunks was talking about. Goku hadn’t seen 17 and 18 yet
@alexanderren1097 Goku knew these weren't the right Androids because trunks told him and then he had a vision of them when he was having his virus fever, Goku already knew about 17 and 18 because future trunks came from the future to the past and warned him about the two Androids, after trunks came from the future Gewku knew about the Androids and he spent 3 years training and he defeated the first two Androids before the third android made Cell and the other 3 Androids
thats the reason if a real movie was made it should be the cell saga
Man. I'd really like to see where Toriyama would have gone with these two had he been able to do what he wanted. There's just something weirdly sinister about Android 20/Doctor Gero. Oddly enough, the fact that he's just an old man kind of adds to it. He's just so cold.
2024 anyone ?
Shut up
Yessir 💯

so intense.. so many emotions and the music! oh my god man absolutely amazing truly a master piece
Toriyama built up these androids and meant for 19 and 20 to be the villains, then the studio looked at them and thought they were far too silly looking to be the villains, so then Toriyama came up with 17 and 18, but then came up with 16 as well, these too were looked down by the studio so then he came with up Cell as the true villain of the android saga. There was alot of interference in the production and that's why it feels messy compared to the saiyan and Namek sagas.
The build up and introduction were great, but I have to agree that 19 and 20 were just too silly looking. The other androids were fine as far as I'm concerned but I'm glad we got Cell as the final villain, he is definitely the scariest and best villain of the lot of them.
It's not the studio that complained, but Kazuhiko Torishima, Toriyama's ex-editor.
He was no longer supposed to have a say, but he still called Toriyama to tell him: "so, that's the greatest threat the Earth has ever faced? A fatso and an old geezer? Surely, you can do better!". That's why Toriyama created 16, 17, and 18. But Torishima was still not satisfied, and he called back Toriyama: "great, now it's a bunch of emo kids! Find something else!". And that's how Toriyama came up with Cell. Because he listened to the negative feedback from his former editor. But then, it was his new editor, Yū Kondō, who was not satisfied with Cell's design, and that's how we ended up with Perfect Cell.
@@Megrez-Alberichdamn I’m surprised they all made it work in the end and included all characters. Clever writing.
An earthling, a namek, and a saiyan standing off against androids. I love it.
We clearly saw a woman and her child survive, yet 19 says there's nobody left alive. That's how you could tell he was gonna lose. Already malfunctioning smh. Maybe if he ate less oil.
Lol!
They put some series music for android 20 and android 19.
Once it starts with Dr. Gero the music it's slow then goes crazy as he starts firing from his eyes then goes back to normal once Goku Punches him
Love the creepy music

@@solidsnake8331 Age and overuse of his voice. It's stopped him from being able to differentiate from his characters now
Props to Dr. Gero modfiying himself to a power level probaply equivalent of Freezers.
Man, the worst thing to happen in DBZ was dr gero if you think about it. Gero only observed gokus fights with vegeta and nappa, and somehow had the data to replicate there techniques and ki manipulation organically. If he never had access to a saiyan like goku, androids would have never been this powerful. Gero stumbled on a gold mine of information, but man, it ended up creating the worst androids ever and even his super computer ended up creating cell with the information on namek. Weird how humans were the biggest threat to earth in a way.
Don't leave out that it collected info on Frieza and King Cold, toom
If this was DBSuper Bulma would show up with food and all the characters would laugh as they enjoyed a picnic while Dr Gero played catch with gohan.
I doubt that would actually happen
You Z-Tards were saying the same shit about GT 15 years ago. Get some original material.
The 3 OG cornerstones of the DB Z fighters, Tien Goku & Piccolo. Love it
"Now that the entire population has been eliminated..."
"Actually, I'm pretty sure you only..."
"YES Goku, THE ENTIRE POPULATION!!!"
This is so hilarious to watch now because at this point it's abundantly clear that Android 20 is Dr Gero and you can _see_ that he doesn't have an artificial brain, so instead of before when I was like "he's a glitchy robot with not enough understanding of how reality works" as a less-comprehensive kid, I see Android 20 blow up the city and realize he's not doing it because he's an inferior AI, he's doing it because he's a huge dickhead.
It's crazy to me now because he acts robotic but emotes more later on after 19 is destroyed.
Gero: “How did you know we were androids?!”
19: “Analyzing… analyzing… analyzing: they are psychic. THEY CAN SEE THE FUTURE!”
I love DBZ and Bruce Falconer themes is nostalgic Memories takes me back to my childhood 🤣 thx for the uploads dude
The android saga is perfection in my opinion. And Bruce's score is flawlessly dark and brooding as always. The other versions without his score really lack the intensity the scenes required.
I've seen snippets of the more recent dragon ball series, super, gt, etc and I got to say they really are missing the magic, finesse and drama that the older series captured so well.
Everyone tells me I got to watch Super fully and give it a chance but, much of what I have seen already seems cliche and repetitive and makes me think it will be an exhausting experience.The older series really had some diverse, interesting, unique moments, themes and messages. And it's that originality that I often miss with more modern television shows.
Dr Gero most underrated villian of the series
I looooove smart characters, villain or not
agent smith is a smart villain as well
I miss when all the Z warriors got involved in the fight. Now it's only really just the Saiyans fighting...
0:43 the first time I saw this, I knew this would be a good Saga.
I use to think gero was like dr willy or dr robotnik of dbz. As the main villain but i started watching it in the middle. Hell i didnt know who goku was at the start. I was flipping through the channels and noticed the show myself when i was in highschool in 2000. 😂
Goku and Piccolo were there for the genocide on Namek, but for Tien, this was probably the most horrible thing he sees in his entire life 2:15
What happened with this Goku? I want him back in Super!!
The creator never liked this goku he said he didn’t like how they painted him a hero instead of a martial artist who likes to fight. Super is what the series was originally supposed to go but seeing how it was popular overseas he had to appeal to everybody. Super is really for the Japanese fans not the overseas fans and that’s okay but I wish he would appeal to us overseas fans like he did with Z and the Z movies
@Juan Francisco Zarate
A lack of creative effort and an abundance of greed is what happened here.
I'll summarize:
Akira Toriyama sold-out to Toei Animation in order to make another Dragon Ball series (Dragon Ball Super) and thus regressed Goku's intellectual character-development back to the beginning of DBZ to make Goku's character easy to script-write for; this is why DBS Goku acts so idiotic most of the time.
Akira only cares about making $$$ now, and thus he made his characters as simplistic as possible, which requires the smallest amount of effort on his and his staff's part to make DBS's production possible.
THAT is why Goku and his peers will never again be as well-developed in DBS as they were in DBZ~
This is one of those rare cases when the Americanization makes it better
@@Kahanami I second that opinion whole-heartedly; the USA version of the DBZ characters are 100% more well-developed than the Japanese version of the DBZ characters~
@@maliekbrown8437not true because this happened in the manga. Also if super was what toriyama wanted he would have never stepped in to take over the manga from toyotaro
2.58 Goku: leave people out of this.
Android 19: there are no people left 😅
Me:.... 🗿💀
God this score still slaps
If Goku wasn’t sick him and Piccolo would have destroyed Gero and 19 Goku was crushing 19 until the heart virus kicked in and Piccolo was throwing Gero around like a rag doll and that was after having energy taken from him
Agreed android 19 and 20 were truly the weak ones in comparison to 16, 17, 18, and cell if it wasn't for that virus gero never would've those androids and cell might never have absorbed them
@@MG-ok2bn they were only weak because trunks warned them. So they trained otherwise they would be killed
@@angelvillegas9604yeah but goku never stops training he just dies 6 months prior to may 12 in trunks timeline so that prob caused most of the z fighters not to train as well especially vegeta and gohan was a kid still and had neither goku or piccolo to train him anymore
And vegeta coming in to flex also? These androids stood no chance
Dr Gero and 19 were absolutely savage
This was the type of stuff Super was missing. The first two arcs were retreads. The U6 tournament was just that. No stakes, even if they tried to make it seem like there were. The future Saga's destruxtiob had already happened off screen. We got Zamasu flattening the planet which was cool, but only lasted a few seconds before we got the Zeno nonsense. The ToP had the same issues. A lot of fun but no stakes. We all knew all the universes woukd get revived in the end.
If I’m not mistaking, I believe that this should have been Android 17 and 18 that showed up to the city to wreak havoc but ever since trunks showed up this timeline took a hard right and went down a different path where Gero didn’t activate the androids yet.
Remember Trunks wasn't there for this event he only has accounts from history and from his mom, who most likely didn't meet Android 19 and 20 when they first arrived.
@@JohnnyDominion This is absolutely correct. There is no reason to believe 19 and 20 didn't show up in Trunks' timeline, and probably did in fact kill one or two of the Z fighters before being stopped by Vegeta, leading Gero to escape and activate 17 and 18, thus killing the remaining. Everyone wants to attribute the lack of Trunks being aware of 19 and 20 to some butterfly effect, when in actuality, the more reasonable explanation is that Trunk's was a baby, Bulma never actually saw the battle(in the Trunks timeline at least), and Gohan didn't find it notable enough to mention, or wasn't aware himself, or wasn't involved in the initial battle until 17 and 18 were already active.
@@PPKNexus If I'm not mistaken in the manga, when Trunks tells Goku what will happen in three years, he actually refers to the androids that attack as 19 and 20.
@@thedude9941 That is correct, he does. However, he then goes on to contradict himself a few chapters and say 17 & 18 were the ones he was talking about all along. This was due to Toriyama intending for the only villains to be 19 & 20 originally. The manga goes on to pretend he said 17 & 18 all along and gaslights the readers. It was a mistake and should be disregarded when forming both head canon and hypothesis' in general.
@@PPKNexusThey didn’t show up in Trunks’ timeline. It’s confirmed in the DBS manga that 17 and 18 showed up to the city and killed all the Z fighers
“Leave these people out of this!!”
“Leave the people’s souls from their bodies. Understood.”
“No! Not again!!”
Doctor Gero: “But you are too late. The entire population of the city had been reduced to ash. Now no one shall interfere with my revenge.”
Goku: “Actually, I’m pretty sure you only ….”
Piccolo: “YES!!!! The ENTIRE POPULATION!!!!!!”
It would've been great if mercenary tao was converted into android 19 and got a rematch with goku
That straight up punch from Goku was ruthless. He was pissed that those innocent people were just taken out.
Love that punch on android 20
I always loved Bruce falconer music from dragon ball z it’s really awesome and as a person who grew up with this dub it’s pretty cool to hear this again.
To think these people werent even brought back they literally died brutality
Good point. They only wished back those killed my Cell.
I remember as a kid this part of ARC being so intense because all the stuff future trunks had said!!
Wow you got to love that Dragon ball villain psychopathy i think the dragon ball franchise has some of the best villains I've seen in a anime i can think of any other anime that had nearly as much moments where i was floored by something pure evil the villains did
People who didnt grow up with the Bruce Faulconer composed DBZ like to use Dr. Gero’s theme and “circus” sounding part in particular as the reason why this version sucks compared to the original. I say, it enhanced the HELL out of this scene. Was chaotic as all hell when I first seen this 😅
I grew up with the original Kikuchi score.
@@DarkDoge only times I heard Kikuchi’s music in DBZ was when I watched the older movies like dead zone. That was when Ocean dub was still a thing in the states though 😅
Same! That can also be said of Buu's theme.
Bruce falconer version da koldest
Goku: leave these people out of this!
Me: oh they're definitely out of it. No doubt about that
Gotta be honest! Android 20 eat that punch gave him. Maybe some indication that Goku was weaker because of the illness. The guy didn’t even flinch that much.
Not gonna lie the android music is hella creepy. It added to the impact of how cold Gero and 19 was. No emotion after the kill of all life on the island
I preferred it over the one used for 17, 18 and 16.
And to think Dr.Gero had a hand in every event after The Cell Saga regardless of people knew it or not! The world didn’t come to an end and life began to thrive all the way to The Buu Saga, he created a new 17 with Myu in GT, Goku Black learning of the events Trunks did with Time Travel in Super, and his creation in 17 won The Tournament Of Power….the man’s legacy lived on waaaaay after his death
One can say Dr. Gero the one Earthling whose heart was truly evil akin to the likes of Frieza, Cell, Kid Buu. He has no problem destroying innocents to get what he wants and spent decades creating killing machines that ultimately killed him in the end.
Dr gero has that crash Bandicoot music 🎶 theme on when he destroyed the city.
👍🏿🔥🔥👍🏿
Given how tight Goku is I'm surprised he didn't just go Super Saiyan right there and destroy Gero with one punch. If Gero was weak enough to have his arms ripped off by Piccolo, then he's quite weak. I miss the original dub for this though when it aired on CN in 2000, Android 19 had a more robotic filter going on
Goku would have gone down a lot sooner, going Super Saiyan did alot to his body
@@RigbyIsTheMan Still, it doesn't really make sense that he didn't power up after seeing what he did to Yamcha let alone the entire city. That alone should've enraged him greatly. This is slightly before Goku started feeling effects of the virus, so while he still would've got sick, at least the doctor would be down and they'd never be able to find the lab as a result.
If Piccolo was more than capable of killing Gero, which he would've if not for Trunks suddenly coming back and taking his surprise thus giving Gero time to get into the lab. It's an interesting idea, the boy from the future comes back to see how things are and ends up making things even worse, although in the manga Vegeta said he'd kill anyone who got in the way of activating the androids. No doubt if Vegeta was in base Trunks would immediately power up and kill him just to prevent this.
Even if Vegeta did activate them, they'd be really confused like why are we being activated by someone who isn't the doctor, and there are still the shutdown buttons, Trunks could snag them without anyone noticing possibly. A lot of what ifs in this arc.
Trunks could've done this and just shut them down and destroyed them in the original future. But more likely everything played out mostly the same except Trunks went back in time to the original timeline with the blueprints for Bulma to make self-destruct buttons since Cell wasn't in that timeline except for the egg which I'm sure they blew up. Krillin probably also was not given the switch but someone else as a result of circumstances changing, or just blew up only 17 lol. Either way there's no way Trunks beat them alone.
I love the Androids so much I wish you could pick them as a subclass of humans in the Xenoverse games.
i miss this type of z serious goky very much
something about the scene had black mirror vibes.

Piccolo couldn't kill Android 19 nor 20 at full charged power. Dr. Gero wasn't at full strength when he fought Piccolo, thats why he went out absorbing energy.
Love the dark theme with music
Here is a theory, what if Androids 19 and 20 were the first ones who arrived on the island in Future Trunks timeline before Androids 17 and 18. They get to the island and start blowing up buildings, the Z-Fighters hear the news and show up to fight with them. Piccolo and Vegeta end up killing Android 19, while Android 20 escapes. The Z-Fighters leave to go watch over Goku as he is feeling the effects of his Heart Virus, then Goku passes away the next evening. Three months later, Dr. Gero activates Androids 17 and 18, telling them that Goku died from a Heart Virus. He tells the twin androids to now focus on world domination, but they have different plans and kill Dr. Gero. Another three months pass by Androids 17 and 18 decide to head to the island to have some fun and start blowing up buildings left and right. Vegeta, Piccolo and the rest of the Z-Fighters hear about it on TV and fly towards the island, without knowing that it would be their final fight to the death, and they would be reunited with Goku in Other World on that same day.
It sucks that these two showed up all intimidatingly and ended up having pretty pathetic deaths. I kinda wish Toriyama didn't reject the idea of making these two the main antagonists in this saga.
He didn't. His editors rejected them as the villains. They thought Gero and Android 19 weren't intimidating enough cause they were just "an old geezer and a fat clown". So that's when Android's 17 and 18 were created but this time Toriyama's editors rejected them as being "a couple of punk teen brats". As a result we got Cell.
@@coryames1170 Ah OK.
@@coryames1170 That's true and then the editor's rejected cell's first form, which led to the sub plot of him having to absorb 17 and 18 to transform. It really shows what a mess this arc was due to too much editorial medaling, I often wonder what this arc might have been like had Toriyama been allowed to stick with his original plan, he even said himself he thought 19 and 20 were fine and would have kept them as the main villains if it was up to him.

Honestly S-tier design and presentation of these two. Makes me wish they'd amounted to a more significant threat.
They can see the fu-ture!
Kai and Super failed us fans so hard that even GT did a better job overall.
Failed on what? Please elaborate?
@@DarkDoge They weren't as impactful or serious, and felt more like a children's show where as the original DBZ and GT had a more serious tone that while they had silly moments here and there still always returned to extremes that brought the real emotional integrity back to the series which made you feel like the writer cared. I'd say Super feels like it was just extremely safe and didn't want to try anything other than making money while using the old popular faces and concepts the fans knew. Sort of like how Disney's Star War's movies felt, and Kai was basically just the concept of, (how much content can we cut out before people get upset? Oh, wait we can keep cutting out content and won't lose money?)
@@DarkDoge Thank you for replying to a comment on an older video btw, I find it very respectful that you would do that.
@@Squashylemon of course!
It's probably the music with kai. Of course we can't hear the og soundtrack for kai because of the guy who made it plagrizied music. A lot of the original soundtracks for dbz were in mono, so I'm guessing they avoided those to have the new audio remain in stereo/5.1 surround sound. I enjoyed kai, watched a lot of the episodes and it had a lot of goofy moments still there but kept the extreme serious tone. It just it goes by faster because of the removal of fillers. It's pretty close to the Manga. That's what they were going for. And the reason for the cut for blood is because of the dumb censorship nowadays with Japan. It is extremely dumb. The Manga had very graphic moments, so I don't understand this censorship as well.
@@Squashylemon Exactly! The best example of Kai being more for children is when Vegeta is fighting 18 and blows up a truck with his big bang attack. In the orginal, the truck driver clearly dies. In Kai, they have the truck driver survive by not showing him but him screaming "hey my truck" after the attack. They watered the product down too much with Kai regardless of whether it was more faithful to the manga.
“Nooo”. His rage is admirable
