Never had the chance to say this, but honestly, whenever I'm at the lowest in my life, I always go back to watch the whole DBZA, HFIL and Dragon Short Z. Your videos and your humour make me feel better, and give me hope in my life. Thank you for everything TFS. You'll be a major part of my life and I'll never forget you people till I'm buried.
Edit: looks like I'm not alone and a 1000+ others agree with me. I hope y'all have a great life and get to a good place in life. Maybe it's pretty bad now, but that will change soon. Just don't give up and keep going❤
Well said
Hellsing too. TFS is just great, and more than just the comedy, they have a real way of reaching people.
I hope you find what you need in life to be able to obtain the peace and happiness you deserve.
Sammeeee. These videos have always brought me joy and when life gets hard these videos hit hard.
Same.
- "Oh you beautiful saiyan bastard, just punch me already!"
I honestly find the sexual tension between cell and goku one of the funniest gags of this arc.
I mean I’d never cheat on Chichi, but…
@@aidenhelmueller3242"dad!"
@@D-Ender2”SO handsome
I love that Taka clearly loves playing Cell so much.
the entire cast is great but Taka as Cell is absolutely one of the best performances of our time.
100% just watching his face in these it’s just so obvious.
That man will play a smarmy bastard for a cold 50¢ corn dog off the floor of a Louisiana double-wide
@@RAWatson1989 One might even say he was perfect
My headcannon with Cell & Yamcha was; Cell came from the future like Trunks, he knows what happened to Yamcha...
and he doesn't have his dna, so he doesn't need to prove to be better than him
@@-Garaf-
Cell does possess Yamcha's DNA. The fact that Cell's Ki signature is the same as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, etc. is indicative of that.
Source: the Official Manga.
@@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement in the abridged he's not.
@@dodo-uz4ct
Fair enough.
@@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement In chapter 169 of the dbz manga Cell explains that he is made of the cells of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza, and King Cold. If it is ever explained that Cell is made of anyone elses cells please tell me what chapter because I don't remember it ever happening.
On almost a daily basis I CONSTANTLY quote "I doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me. I bothers me, IT BOTHERS ME A LOT."
"AND THAT ONE'S STILL GREEN!"
Also quote it neat daily, always include the final line though, adds so much to it.
Yes!! I'm not the only one.
Same
I use "Bitch I'm adorable" all the time when I decided to be cheeky😂
Funny story, I was playing Final Fantasy 14, and was trying to dye my Chocobo's feathers to a specific shade of purple.
My first attempt failed... and I said the whole line, verbatim. Including the *"...and that one's still **_GREEN!"_*
All three of them singing in the voice of Perfect Cell was honestly perfection.
Coincidentally I was at a bar with my friends two days ago and we sang My Way and it felt exactly like that
I miss the feeling of watching DBZ and getting chills as a kid.
Then TFS made it happen for me again as an adult in my 20s.
And now, when I'm feeling nostalgic in my 30s, hearing TFS talk about their time with DBZA helps me feel comforted and kept company.
Thanks, guys.
I truly love how them trying to sing along with Perfect Cell just kind of turns into a happy trio of drunken bros at the bar trying to do karaoke together.
Tbh, I would
My favourite part of the commentary is the part where they comment on the commentary comments during the commentary
they getting fat in the midst of all this reaction cannibalism lol
lol
beeeeeg yosh
I heard them talking about it, in the commentary 😏
Android 16. He died as he lived. Wanting to kill Son Goku.
“You only fight that Hit bastard, but you and I have battles!”
I cried on the last part.. The genuine Happy felling while everyone was singing my way. It's everyone's dream to become a part of something big that makes everyone happy like that.
i'm in the same boat, tears just flowing and making me miss the series, i respect them for stopping on a good note but damn do i want more of my childhood to keep going.
“You couldn't fathom the amount of dead men behind me” such a great line, it makes me remember how terrifying first form cell was
Yeah. His best "horrific line" for me will always be the exchange with Piccolo in front of the Androids.
"How... How many People ?!"
"... Enough."
My headcanon for why Cell is nice to Yamcha is: Since they established that Cell doesn't have any of Yamcha's DNA in him, he can't psychologically deconstruct him the way he does the others.
That's actually kinda brilliant. He knows how to get into the heads of everyone because he knows how they would think. Yamcha is exempt.
Arguably there is one other reason: since he's got Goku and Tien in there, who are arguably Yamcha's closest friends, Goku cancels out Vegeta's hate and just leaves the chill vibe that Tien has with Yamcha, which also handily explains the banter towards Yamcha he uses.
They never said cell doesn't have Yamcha's DNA; all they said was that they couldn't sense Yamcha's ki when they sensed Cell. To me, that always seemed more like "haha yamcha is so weak we can't even detect his ki inside cell cause it's so small" rather than "we can't detect Yamcha's ki in cell because cell doesn't have Yamcha's DNA."
@@OmegaGamer1989 realistically, while possible, there's an easy explanation for why they wouldn't use Yamcha's DNA even if Gero's scouting and sampling bots got to the spot of the fight before Yamcha died: he'd have probably collected the samples from those that seemed to do something. Yamcha would immediately be out from being death 1, and Ciaotsu would be out by virtue of there being no body left to take samples from. This also would mean Nappa wouldn't have collected cells if Gero was late enough, as he didn't end up leaving a body either.
@@OmegaGamer1989 I figured it was saying that Yamcha was so insignificant that they didn't bother getting any of his DNA, since even Krillin's ki could be felt in Cell, and he gets crapped on more than Yamcha does.
It occurs to me that Cell flying away from his first two arena means they are still there. I wonder if folks have stumbled on them and come up with conspiracy theories about how two stone platforms just appeared from nowhere one day, arguing endlessly about the meaning of one being square and one round, and of course, the mystery of The Green One.
"On this week's episode of Ancient Aliens, who built these mysterious tiles in the middle of nowhere? And what was the purpose... of the green one? Some experts say they were built by slaves. But some believe... IT WAS ALIENS."
Also, what if there were a bunch of other martial artist who showed up at the first one because Cell did say on the broadcast exact coordinates for the tournament.
would be great if they were used in a game. Every so often you see the green square.
@@BonitoJoe111 Y'know, the best part is, they technically aren't wrong. Depending on how you see Gero, both!
52:39 “Someone who knows ASL said that technically would be a speech impediment.”
I originally made that comment. Thank you for recognizing my comment. I thought you might skip it because this is the “best of”. I didn’t think my comment was worthy of being here. Thanks!!
Funny enough, I asked a family member who used to teach it, and she said it was a speech impediment as well. An accent would have been which country it came from.
I still love how they made Abridged Goku tell Gohan that he's sorry and that he was sincere about it. I know the "Goku is a bad dad" take is kind of a delicate debate in the DBZ community, but I personally felt like it was a great payoff for all those jabs they took at him in the past seasons. Like yeah, it was pretty bad, but the fact that Goku genuinely acknowledged his wrongs was enough for Gohan to forgive him. In my mind, that makes him an already way better father than a ton of them in real life, unfortunately. Way too many people double down when confronted about the possibility of being wrong, yet Abridged Goku didn't. Nor did Canon Goku.
Yeah I would say that's what makes TFS's bad dad jokes really funny to me, because while Goku was a bad dad, he still genuinely loved his family and just didn't understand them entirely. He was never malicious about it or abusive, he just... Didn't get it. And when someone directly spells it out for him, it finally clicks and he understands what he's put Gohan through and immediately regrets it.
It makes the jokes contribute to Goku's actual character arc and it actually feels really fulfilling and makes Goku's death hurt so much more.
@@althelor It was less that he was "bad" in the abusive sense, but more in the uninvested one. He's that parent who bust his ass off on a project that he's passionate about and is persuade that his family will love it, but forgot to even ask them their opinion about it in the first place.
He wants them to share his passion without malice, but is unaware that they might only want to "just spend time with him".
@@Juju2927 yeah that's what I was trying to say. I might have over explained it which caused the message to get confused (I do that a lot)
I was just meaning that he's never actually mean spirited about it. He just doesn't get exactly what his family likes and assumes they're on the same wavelength as him but they're not. Which in other circumstances would be very understandable.
16 being the best side character. It was a smart choice to have him speak so bluntly before hes destroyed. Brilliant.
I love how Perfect Cell gets a commentary compilation all for himself.
It truly is perfect
And I hate it.
the drunken men rendition of my way is the best part of the commentary
never get tired of hearing these guys talk about something that’s so important to us all 💗
Honestly, that gohan scene still hits so hard i feel like im seeing goku go super sayin all over again, but it's SO uniquely gohan.
I like to think of a version of "My Way" but with iconic DBZA moments instead of Cell's perspective. It'd be called "TFS My Way but it hurts more".
Perfect cell's Perfect musical Perfectly starting Perfect cell
Comparing episode 1 to gohan’s transformation is just…night and day in quality.
I’m damn near a adult and it should not have have taken me multiple years to figure out the back door joke
Yall carried my entire childhood
Funny thing is, if Goku had aimed the Instant Kamehameha lower, he very well might have successfully obliterated Cell.
A lot of people kept asking over the years about the Buu saga but honestly you guys ended it perfectly with the Cell saga (pun non intended but fully embraced). The ending is actually so much better than the OG material with Gokus goodbye, Trunks death and Vegetas rage, and Cells farewell.
You guys shot your Kamehameha, blew our socks off and bent it up to the stars. All of you
And Taka, you are an actor. And a fantastic one
So from the bottom of our hearts down to our Dragon Balls, we thank you for all your hard work on the writting, the syncing, the mouth flapping, the color correction, the cropping, the editing and the brilliant (and iconic) performances of these beloved characters that mean so much to us
Thank you
(Still want Buu though)
(Buu bits dont count but they help)
I always took Vegeta's "who's the fourth" as him thinking he and goku would be the top two strongest and he was questioning if krillin thought trunks was beneath gohan. It was like he was beginning to show more pride in his own kid.
Interesting idea, but I think it's a lot more likely he thought Cell and Goku were 1st and 2nd, so if Gohan is supposedly the 3rd, that implies Vegeta is the 4th, and Vegeta doesn't believe he's weaker than Gohan (yet).
I've had and lost many loves in my life... This is one of those I'm lucky enough to have and hold for the rest of my life. This abridged series is special to me and it always will be. Thank you guys and everyone involved!
0:22 that you let him die?
Mr. Prefect Cell hit the Gohan button
He shouldn'ta did that.
10:36 Kaiser, trust me: as someone who’s childhood was filled to the absolute brim and then some of waking up on Saturdays and Sundays with my parents blasting the K92 FM country station loud enough to wake me, had many days spent by the pool listening to nothing but country, and even to this day going over to my sisters houses and them playing strictly country whenever they have people over, I feel that hatred for country you and Trunks have DEEP in my core 😂
I’m so glad you guys were the ones to make DBZ abridged it couldn’t have been better thank you
Fuck... Gohan's transformation still brings me tears.... It's definitely the best anime moment for me, and its from a parody of all things. You guys can never undersell yourselves, not after this masterpiece. DBZA IS AMAZING AND WE WILL QUOTE EVERYTHING YOU SAID!
I’ve had DBZA on repeat since you made it. Amazing project, you can really feel the love you all put into it
You guys singing "My Way" together brought some actual tears to my eyes.
DBZ Abridged was such a wonderful undertaking of Comedy, Action, and Emotional story telling it's stuck with me since the day the first episode aired.
Thanks TeamFourStar.
At this point DBZA is my preferred dragonball z series to view. I will always rewatch when i feel the need. You guys did an outstanding job on this series.
Honestly yall's version of this stuff is now my head canon on all of it. I tell anyone I've talked to about this series that they should go and watch the original, of course.. but if they want to see the best version they need to watch what yall did. Sad it ended there but I get it, hell of alot of work went into this stuff and honestly I think thats about as good of a punctuation mark you can make on the work, it was a good choice.
Love it guys.
You really entered history with this parody. You made an impact directly or indirectly on so many people and the way we see and appreciate this show. It's because you really honored each character and each and every aspect of those characters. You really elevated the DBZ experience imo and added so much nuance and perspective on it. ✨✨✨ It isn't just your run of the mill anime with specific rules, it goes beyond that and (as you said) resonated with so many things and experiences of the real world.
I remember myself sitting with my friend, both eating junk food and watching abridged.. miss those days...
My Way was goddamn beautiful, hope to hear a studio version.
Here we are, over a decade later, and y'all are still bringing us joy with DBZA in all new ways. Fuggin love y'all.
I'll admit, thanks to life stuff I mostly missed out on Dragon Ball, and even DBZA.
But even as someone on the sidelines, your work is so wonderful, how much love you put in to it shows in every moment.
You all are so lucky to have found each other, to have made this wonderful fan series that touched so many people, and I hope against hope that I'll be able to find something similar.
I always viewed Cell liking Yamcha as an extension of Cell's (and others) self-hate. Yamcha not being a part of Cell makes him not a target
40:38 technically he fulfilled 16s wish when he went cocky.
Just another comment to tell you how great you are, but also to tell you that you reached so many people across the world with your series and your humour. I'm from France and it became a pelerinage for my friends and i to watch all DBZabriged at least once every year and discuss it. You guy are part of our private jokes.
Love you ❤
I sing Cell’s version of My Way every single day since I’ve first heard it, whether it be in my head, or out loud, it always makes me feel dignified.
Cell and goku was the best romance in the show. They understand and respect eachother on such a fundamental level
It’s about time not judging, but I’ve been waiting for this video
You know there's a full Version of these Videos, right? You could've watched them over and over
@@rasoser1249 Kinda odd to not say where
@@sstanford1331 It's on the "Four Star Bento" Channel they made. Full playlist of them breaking down everything from each Episode
I love how cell moving sounds like he's wearing a leather jacket. Its a good sound effect, great job Scott!
"Gohan is 11!" I love that passion
Just my yearly reminder that you guys absolutely have imposter syndrome, and that you made the best version of DBZ in existence. 🍻 ❤
seeing LaniSWOLLtor. and TakaSWOLLTa.. you BOTH have helped me focus on my physique over the bullshit,, Thanks you 2!!
I really wanted you comment on the "That's you" joke, I really love that one.
It would be a funny Buu scene if vegeta did wake up years afterwards screaming about cell breaking his spine
Don't tell them I'm the one that pointed out the ghosts of those 3 haunting the arena
These reactions even though I watched the original videos these are all compiled from are still so awesome to watch since you get to see how much love and passion Kaiser, Lani, and Taka put into this season.
God, Tara's cell voice is as perfect as Lani as Vegeta
Taka's*.....stupid auto correct
"I am perfect and you will quote everything I say"
That singing brought happy tears to my eyes, thank you all for such awesome content DBZA has been an important part of my life for a while now, i even got some friends who arent really Dragon ball fans to watch it and many days we end up having at least a quote from the series!
Aw, bless. Taka changing the words to 'did it OUR way' and gesturing to Lani and Kaiser was like Robert Plant at the 2007 Led Zeppelin concert changing the words to Kashmir to 'the band that led me to this place' and waving at Jimmy, John, and Jason. :)
The effort and love you put into this series really made it what it is. So many years later, nearly 30, and I still come back to watch when I need to cheer up. Love learning more about the creative process of this legendary work of art.
Such a good finale to my favorite arc of the series.
God, I honestly love seeing all 3 of you together in this. Watching you all just having fun and talking about this thing you worked on. Talking about how difficult some things were to work on, and then next second laughing your asses off. Despite how difficult this must have been to work on, you guys really made something unique and special together. I love all of this.
Chichi became an amazonian at 17:30 if ye get my meaning 😊
Just noticed on my third watch that Taka hangs his head in his hands like a cutie when Nick starts singing Day of Fate when Gohan goes SSJ2
Man. Thank you guys for all the incredible work you do. Bringing back so much nostalgia from not only the abridged series but for og dbz. This is such a beautiful love letter to our childhood. It's funny, it's witty, and so well written and acted. Bravo, boys. Bravo 👏 you've more than earned all the success and accolades from all of your hard work. The work you put into it shows and I believe it's why it's so beloved amongst the internet. Always looking forward to what you guys do next individually and as TFS.
"I'm screaming. you can't hear me, but I am" 🤣 fuckin dead. Big thanks from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work over all the years guys
Its great that after watching all of these you can determine who wrote which joke with a solid 50/50. The dude on the right can't stop talking about "I did this! I wrote this! I veto'd this! I decided this!" and the other two guys are like "You did some awesome voice acting! Oh that person we brought in? Amazing! Oh we had so much fun with this scene in the studio!"
the fact that you guys made an abridged version of this amazing show and it's honestly on par with the original is ridiculous. You guys are beyond talented. 10/10
watching these has been so pleasant. i have to say, i think we were all sad when DBZA was coming to a close but what i always hoped was you all stayed friends and it all ended positively. congratulations on everything and i sure hope there's more this group does together.
You know how long its taken me to remember all the names of the voice actors?! Damn i can barely remember who played who in yu yu hakusho abridged
I love the whole all of dbz. But this was a staple of the show. And I never knew I needed this(abridged) part of this show. I love and wish you could've kept doing this.
Them signing is the first thing ive watchted to EVER make me tear up. Dbza was such a big part of my childhood with my and my older brother waiting every day for the next ep. God i miss then.
Whenever my life gets slow or dull i have a sip of alcohol and turn on TFS you guys are how i unwind and i love you for it. I hope to see more content from you all in the future dragon ball and otherwise
No matter how many times I watch the Gohan SS2 transformation and the SS Trunks transformation by TFS, always send chills down my spine... It's amazing.
DBZA is my comfort show, I come back to rewatch especially the cell saga all the time.
I've been rewatchign the best of commentary and this releases while I'm watching Best of Commentary Season 3 Part 2
Episode came out when I was stepping into a leadership role at work and hearing Goku giving that last pep talk to Gohan during the beam struggle really hit home because I could hear my own dad's voice in that speech. This show was fun, earnest, and hilarious. Thank you, TFS.
God I absolutely love seeing them literally geek out over their own jokes and their own writing, it really shows the dedication and passion they had for DBZA. The pride they have in what they made really shines through, and they deserve to be proud. They should be wearing crowns, not headphones.
I think yall did too good of a job on the bad guys. I usually root for them because they loose stupidly. I root for yours because vegeta, freza, and cell were all done so well.
This show was the best part of my childhood ❤
God that moment when Gohan breaks. I remember watching it in y'alls stream and it still gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye. It's just such a great scene and you guys did absolutely amazing with it.
I was 19 when the first DBZA episode was released. Now im 31 and i will be a father in four weeks. You don't even know how i wait for the day i can watch DBZA all over with my boy. Thank you.
This goes out to TFS....
To all of you guys, at the bottom of heart and soul I wanna thank you guys for the part of my childhood and teenage years you gave me... I remember back in 2012-2016 (highschool for me) waiting for each episode of both DBZ Abridged and Hellsing Ultimate Abridged... You guys gave me so many laughs and made so many different days of my life that I can't thank y'all enough for it, you guys even inspired me to a degree to do voices within my friend group (Ex. Being Alucard, Vegeta, Nappa, Imperfect Cell, Perfect Cell, Master Roshi, even a LSSJ Broly...) Now I'm not a voice actor by any means but because of you guys I was able to add to very comedic sessions of videogames via those voices and again I can't thank you guys enough for it... To this day I try to get people who haven't seen DBZ Abridged to watch it just to talk about it and have those laughs all over again... You guys are a WorldWide Treasure to the Internet, and pray nothing but good things to happen in your lives and to continue happen in your lives.
Thank you for your hard work, love, and dedication to make something so special to do many of us...
Man... this series was perfection...
I've commented on the Gohan transformation in your version a few times before but there's one more moment that gets me so much every time and it's the goodbye speech from Goku to Gohan. It's exactly what he needed to say and what his son needed to hear. Those words, "I love you" (in the form of "that year in the time chamber training with you was the best year of my life") and "I'm proud of you", are what every son deep down needs, wants and strives to hear from their dad.
Also the acknowledgement of "I realise now that you're fundamentally different than me and that's just fine, I love you the same either way." My dad has never said those things to me, to this day, and I think that's why this scene hits so hard for me. I don't want to read into things too much, but I assume at least one of you in the writers' room are in that same boat. (It's, unfortunately, a very common thing in our society - which is why I make a point of regularly telling my son I love him and I'm proud of him, even if he's still too young to even understand the words.)
Some shows are forgotten by time, some are remember for later
In all sincerity, this proves why understanding the source materials, appreciating the source materials and even to an extent being even just a small fan can make something amazing. How many adaptations have been terrible because there’s no love of the source? Halo show, resident evil movies, that god awful cowboy bebop show? Imagine if a fan and someone who understands and appreciates the source material actually had the helm? Magic like TEAM FOUR STAR! thank you guys and gals for something so fun
Best show ever (re)created!!!! Watched it through at least a dozen times!!!
Cried when I saw this part as a child, cried watching this for the first time dubbed by you guys, cried just now watching you react! THIS WILL AKWAYS HIT
The scene of Gohan turning SSJ2 brings tears to my eyes all the time. The feels are for real! You guys killed it!
I've been watching you since you started DBZ abridged, over multiple accounts for years, stayed loyal through the entire year between episodes for the cell saga, felt bad when you guys burnt yourselves out on the Bojack movie.
But I am just genuinely disappointed.
You put so much work into DBZ abridged it's what made me stay for so long but I honestly feel like there's just nothing left.
I'll always be a fan of tfs DBZ abridged but it felt like a punch to the gut when all the Buu bits together is the length of one of your regular abridged videos and now this.
I loved you guys, I hope you can keep doing what makes you happy.
I’ve binge watched EVERY DBZ PART OF THIS CHANNEL. DBZA, DBZKA, HFIL, Dragon ShortZ, DBSA bits, Buu Bits, Creator Commentary, YOU NAME IT, Multiple. Times. I wanna say about 3-5 times for everything. Y’all are so funny, you take up a fraction of my screen time. Keep doing what you’re doing. Love your whole team, no robo.
Damn. No matter how many times I watch Gohan get angry, it never gets old and still gives me chills!
Technically they won by cheapshoting Cell via Vegeta distracting Cell with his attack.
I was lucky to be there since eps 1 and for 10 years I got to watch (with my YT friends) an amazing journey of comedy and love letter to all DBZ fans. I still draw a tear knowing its done and gone but the ending was some best YT entertainment I have ever witness.
PS: you ruined normal DBZ, I cannot watch it without you guys popping in my head XD
i love you guys and thank you for the content
❤❤ been following this so long.
Gohan's transformation.
To this day I can't believe the absolutely fantastic work you guys did.
