I'm glad you've been enjoying DBZA so far. It amazes me how people can like our early episodes this much haha 😂 I have a hard time coming back to them personally
They weren't that bad. And the power of memories, start to and epic journey also has something to say in this matter. And they are great in building abridged characters. :)
The killer jokes that *ARE* there, are just amazing. Loved the stab at weird censoring with Roshi's beer for instance. I'll always start by watching the first episodes, cringe and all.
I've watched a lot of DBZA reactions, but you are the first I've seen that consecutively catches a lot of the little references (Believe It, 9 minutes 18 seconds, etc.). It's been a breath of fresh air. Definitely glad I subbed to you. Looking forward to more reactions.
No, I feel like almost everyone gets the "believe it" line -- and as someone who's never seen Naruto, that line is totally lost on me for why it's supposed to be so funny.
@@blossom357 "believe it" is kind of Naruto's catchphrase. He says it so often it makes me cringe. And his signature technique is called the shadow clone jutsu, which allows him to create multiple copies of himself. When Piccolo and Krillin use essentially the same technique, TFS had them reciting the Japanese name from Naruto and used the same sound effect used in Naruto. So it's not so much that the line is funny by itself as it is Nappa breaking the fourth wall by acknowledging the reference
@@blossom357 the English dub translates "dattebayo" into "believe it", they used shadow clone no jutsu, so Nappa says he "can't *believe it*" as a reference to the English dub of Naruto.
Your reactions are the best so far. You look like you're having so much fun 😄 you're going to LOVE the movies!!! Also I can't believe you understood the Pavlov reference. No one ever does 🤣
Super excited for more of your reactions! Also, they do a good job of making the movies happen inside the timeline of the abridged series so its good to have a playlist for a reference of when to watch the movies
I'm gonna take a guess that you check to see if Nappa died at 9 minutes 18 seconds. That's what I did too lol. And stuff like Goku going back to Princess Snake... While it never happened in the OG anime, this is an example of how well TFS adds to the series without fundamentally changing it. Even SAO abridged, as fun as it can be, has this problem that always bothers me from time to time. Rather than being a full spin on the story, DBZA is like... a more quirkified version of it. That's not a word but it should be. Edit: You did check LOL! I knew it xD Also another great example of what I mean. Nappa wasn't like this in the original, but him being like this doesn't change the story at all. It actually enhances it. Gives Nappa an actual memorable character, and it also actually makes *more* sense why Vegeta would kill him here vs in the original. I know why he did it, but in the abridged version I could actually _feel_ why he'd do it.
I've watched quite a few reactors go through DBZA and you are the only one to ever get the callback to Aquaman's whales. Also the 9 minutes 18 seconds line. I'm impressed. Also, after you're done with this you should check out Helsing Ultimate Abridged. It started out as a side project by the guy that does Nappa and turned into a TFS series. It's amazing.
You were wondering where the cadaveriffic line came from when Mecha Freeza said it; news guy said it about Yamcha in episode eight. I think they make one more reference to it, but I forget where.
Chiaotzu has no right dissing Krillin. He should be the whipping boy behind Yamcha. The only reason TFS likely doesn't is becomes he accompanies cool guy Tien and his noble sacrifice.
I think the main reason that they don't shit on Chiaotzu is that doing the same joke for three characters is gets old, and of the three, he's the most forgettable. Chiaotzu is just so irrelevant that there's no point in even bothering with him.
This came out THIRTEEN years ago.... I've seen this so many times I cannot guess anymore... just know I realized why Nappa said he can't 'Believe it'. Damn it, I've watched Naruto too and there was no reason for me to never catch on. D:
back when these were still new, there was lots of concern that the series would die out without nappa since he was the life of the party, needless to say, those fears were unfounded, on purpose or by accident, the character interaction humor not only survived the death of nappa, but grew to become the heart and soul of the series
Watching you enjoy the series is a blast! There is so much bonus content for DBZA as well. DBZ Kai Abridged is a 2 episode miniseries for apil fools day (get it, because DBZ Kai was already an abridged DBZ). The first one is the complete sayan arc, the second one the Namek arc. I'd suggest watching them when you're done with both arcs of the main series. As for the movies, make sure to also watch them when you got far enough into the series, as there will be a lot of callbacks to main DBZ abridged.
I think the first special/movie that you need to see after the arc is the first Bardok special. Then after Namek, the Deadzone. A little after that would be the Tree of Might.
I'd recommend Deadzone , world's strongest and the Christmas tree of might first, in that order. Gotta say I'm impressed, like people are saying in your comments, it's rare to meet a person who gets the obvious references like Aquaman's whales AND this subtle ones like Pavlov and 9:18 . It's good to see these parodies bring joy to your face, like genuine joy and laughter to these videos, cause I can tell you love the show's themselves. You are going to have a blast with the season 1 finale , especially.... hehe...the last part .
Not yet. Those have callbacks abd spoilers. I'd recommend tree of might first after the Saiyan saga, deadzone after frieza, abd I suppose world's strongest can be watched anytime
@@user-yf6zz3cl8i there's not really anything to spoilrific about Deadzone besides the last scene , and it's such a minor one thats quickly explained away. Personally Id hold off on the movies until cell shows up in season 3 , but it's her call either way.
Can't remember why or how I landed here on Melon, but am glad did! If you were porridge you'd be juuuuuuust right :) Love your energy, the way you pick up on all the 'inside' jokes and call backs, And just how interactive you are with watching! I clicked subscribe right away oh and the notification bell to which made me salivate for some reason when I did 🤔
There are also 2 FAQ videos of TFS posted around the time these episodes got made, the first one is "hosted" by Vegeta( ruclips.net/video/I46XxkK288s/видео.html ) , the second is by King Kai ( ruclips.net/video/F2QceasVwvo/видео.html ).
If I could recommend, after Season 1 you could also watch DBZA Kai Episode 1. And regarding the 9000 joke, I remember there was some kind of Q&A -video where they (was it TFS or even Nappa & Vegeta) explained that the joke was done differently since no one expected lamer execution and they didn't want to be part of the running joke. Or something in that line. Or maybe I remember it wrong..
@@SentiNel090 Partially something like that. As far as I'm aware, one of the dubs kept the original level from manga (8000) and the other one made it bigger since it sounded cooler (hehe). I grew up with manga, never watched the original anime fully, only Kai so yeah. But regarding the TFS joke, I believe it was related to the meme and huge expectations they had towards it. So it was like the Simpson's meme where Bart has to say the line, just in DBZ format.
That's not true at all. Gokus power level around this time was around 9000 (8000 in the manga). How much over is vague and unsaid but I'd assume it's less than the next thousand up otherwise he would of said so. The only reason Goku could contend with Vegeta was Kaioken doubling his power making him on Vegetas level whenever he did it.
If you're thinking about something else to watch, you should try TFS Hellsing ultimate abridged. I started watching your content in DBZA reactions and went back to the first videos and i gotta say I wish I looked better the more the time passed.
Hi Melon Great video as all way I have seen every episode of Dragon ball z Abirdged see your reaction are funny and your laugh is so cute My second favorite relationships in Dragon ball z would be Gohan and Videl
season 1 of DBZA is so fantastically cringe... but i love it. the comedy gets a lot more refined as the episodes go on, and the overall quality improves a lot. but there's a certain charm in the old episodes that makes me nostalgic of the old internet days of amateur parody content.
Aaalmost on Namek. And yes, definitely follow the ‘Abridged canon’ chronology with the movies included. “Deadzone”, “The World’s Strongest” and “Christmas Tree of Might” should probably be watched ASAP, but otherwise you’re good! -Episode 11 is when they get proper microphones btw, and it’s pretty much perfect henceforth! 18:33 LOL the last time I saw someone anticipate that moment so much was myself 9 years ago 😂
I started watching your reaction today can I ask how old are you the fact you love DBZ as much as me and you know so much about it I want to know how your not married yet idk where you live idk anything about you but I would like to because I love your vibe it's like mine in a weird way srry if that sounds creepy but your awesome love your reactions
I'm glad you've been enjoying DBZA so far.
It amazes me how people can like our early episodes this much haha 😂 I have a hard time coming back to them personally
AHHHHH🫣, these episodes have been KILLER. It’s such a freaking blast! Thanks so much for your part in creating something this iconic🙀
Much much love👌

I'll always start by watching the first episodes, cringe and all.
Even after all these years, many of the jokes and references are still golden. I my self LOVE the whole yoshi bit.
Lani here? F yeah
Just that Vegeta face at the end there...that is the face of a man who is immensly proud of himself ... and I LOVE him for it!
When is he NOT immensely proud of himself?

Your reaction to Nappa realizing he can fly is priceless.
I'm so glad you caught the 1006 being 9001 upside down joke. I feel like some people miss that.
The whole time we're all thinking, "Holy CRAP, Nappa's stupid!"
Nappa: "Everyone important to you is dead..
Krillin: "Hey i'm still alive!"
Nappa: "Everyone important...!"
Krillin Owned Counter x10
I love your reaction when you realized what was coming when Vegeta was muttering "9 minutes 18 seconds"
Most people don’t catch the 9 minutes 18 seconds so glad you did
Yes
From what I heard no one in teamfourstar wanted to voice nappa; yet, he ended up being one of the most entertaining characters from dbza.
Your reactions are the best so far. You look like you're having so much fun 😄 you're going to LOVE the movies!!!
Also I can't believe you understood the Pavlov reference. No one ever does 🤣
I guess it helps that I’m a bio major lol
I bet Piccolo drives A Durango pick up truck.
Fun Fact: Takahata101 (The voice of Nappa) is actually a Pattycake Champion.
No wayyy
@@Animelon Yup :)
@@fireball1249 I feel more people need to know this lol
Wait, what?

Episode 10 came out back when RUclips still limited most uploaded videos to 11 minutes. That limit is long gone.
Hi Melon just want to say i like these reaction videos.youve got a fun personality so its like watching with a friend. Keep being awesome
back when these were still new, there was lots of concern that the series would die out without nappa since he was the life of the party, needless to say, those fears were unfounded, on purpose or by accident, the character interaction humor not only survived the death of nappa, but grew to become the heart and soul of the series
That and the jokes are f*cking hilarious.
Still cackling like a madman today
