"So, I am of the opinion that as the woman carrying the baby, you the have exclusive right to pick her name...but there's something you should know before you settle on that one. You know that government agent who dated me to catch me on insurance fraud? Her name was Marron." "Oh." "And I mean, I don't don't care because I'm over her by now, but you know somebody (probably Yamcha) is going to say 'so are we going to talk about that?'" "Yeah, fuck them.

"I am an adult." TLDR: DBZA Gohan helped me become a more actualized individual and how far I've come from bad past troubles Thank you so much for making these! I have a personal story I'd like to share. My favorite of these shorts has to be the one where Gohan punches the living hell out of Buu. Every time I see it, I replay it a thousand times. It actually makes me tear up. I grew up with DBZ Abridged, watching it since I was such a little kid back in 2009/2010. I was 11 or 12, something like that. And maybe in part because of that I have always felt attached to Gohan. I was a smart kid but I always felt alienated from others. Growing up was really difficult and by the time I was an older teen I felt really lost. Alongside this was untreated depression and bipolar. I remember when Episode 60 pt 2 cane out and Gohan transformed I was in tears. I had watched the show grow up and I had watched Gohan grow up (with the literal dialogue of the scene telling him to). It helped me realize that I couldn't always rely on someone else to come in and help me. Like Gohan I always needed an adult. Not everything was fixed back then. Things got better when I started taking meds which was (un)fortunately right before Covid. I had so much time to sit with myself and things started to get better. Eventually I went off to university, which was something I never thought I'd actually do, and things started to get much better. I still had some very dark times but I worked really hard with my therapist and struggled through. Eventually, this past fall, I had realized how far I have come as an individual. The Buu bits released at the perfect time right around when I was feeling this. In that clip I saw myself as Gohan; confident, strong, and fearless. Me 6 years ago would have never thought I could feel the way I do now. But now I can say "No. I am an adult."

I'll always remember how weird it was when Vegeta started to refer to the other characters by their proper name in the original series.

Speaking of the Human Extinction Attack. That's *still* the most terrifying thing in the series for me. Cause yeah, we get stronger characters, crazier feats...but what sets that apart for me is it's not just raw power. It's *_extreme_* precision. Buu, at any point before Gotenks or Vegito showed up, could've just blown the earth up and been done with it- and there wasn't shit for dick anyone could do about it. Heck, he had an _excuse_ to do exactly that here, what with Piccolo offering him to kill off everyone else on earth so the Kakatot and his pants could rest before fighting him. No. He exterminates the entire species within seconds, and aside from a few relatively small holes in the ground from the blasts the planet's no worse for wear. There's just something about it- being able to cause a cataclysm like that singlehandedly WITHOUT scorching the earth -that just...rattles me.

It's also the most retarded shit the series has ever done with its villains. The character-driven threats are the best ones. Raditz wanted Goku to return to his home planet. Then Vegeta and Nappa wanted the dragon balls so Vegeta could become strong enough to kill Freeza. Freeza wanted to become immortal to rule the universe. The Cyborgs just wanted to have fun even though they were programmed to kill Goku. Cell is basically the same thing but he had an interesting plot that took a long time to tell and time travel which, yes, had plot holes nad made no sense, but the character drama (especially Future Trunks of course) is what makes Cell a good villain. The Buu saga villains are completely fucking pointless with no actual goals. Babidi wanted to resurrect Buu for... what.. exactly? Destroy the world? Why? Who the fuck cares? Then Buu just goes up and down on the random motivations shit, and the story is easily at its best when it's just fat Buu and Mr. Satan living with a dog. Yeah, the SLICE OF LIFE part of the Buu saga is where it's good as far as the "villain" is concerned, since by this point, it's pretty clear Buu isn't exactly evil-natured, he's literally a big baby. Then some random asshole shoots the dog. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON BUU GOES HAYWIRE. Some stupid psychopath kills the dog for no reason. Then it escalates from there until Buu is completely unrecognizable as an established character. And then Piccolo has the clever idea to get him to go kill the whole world to buy themselves time so Goten and Trunks have a chance to finish their training in the hyperbolic chamber. Then Buu kills everyone below the sky sanctuary in 2 seconds. That's not terrifying. That's dumb. That's the bad guy equivalent of Goku ascending to another form. It's just another big number. It doesn't help that by this point in the story, Buu has zero character, he's just the big bad guy that's going to kill everyone and destroy the universe.. for.. no reason at all other than just "shut up he just does, isn't that terrifying?!"

Also, the day this episode was released, a group of friends and I finished marathoning all of Abridged. This included a friend who never really got into DB, but every single episode had him rolling on the floor, and by the end he said he fully understood why DB means so much to people. I just thought I would share that so you guys knew what a fantastic job you all did. Thanks for your hard work, and of course a tearful "thank you" to Toriyama-sensei for everything he did.

Personally, I think doing the Buu Bits like this was genius. They weren't gonna do the full season, but this was perfect for KZread Shorts and TikTok. All killer, no filler. RIP Toriyama.

* I know the timing is coincidental, but I think a lot of DB fans needed this after Toriyama's passing. * I love what you guys did with Sharpner. Much more likable. * I kinda want Lani and Masako to do a scream off now. * So glad you're covering GT in some way.

It's a hell of a coincidence if so. I wouldn't be surprised if they had it ready and were waiting on a specific release date, then when this news hit realized "we need to move the release up, this needs to be in his honor."

Agree with you on every point; thank you TFS for everything you’ve done, and everything you’re going to do. From DBZA to Hellsing to these commentaries and everything in between, you’ve given us all so much joy. I can’t thank you guys enough!

It was beyond refreshing to have you guys back. Buu bits took me by surprise with anticipation for more. Does not surprise me everyone came back for voices. The amount of work you two put in and the community you built I think would attract anyone to come back. Thank you for creating the series. Thank you, Toriyama for the source material.

A couple of things: Thank you so much for doing the Buu bits! They were amazing!!!! I especially loved Vegeta v Goku and the strong guy drop and Vegeta’s sacrifice was a 10/10 absolute perfection. I agree about the character arc stuff, but it turned out so well I don’t mind. The only deleted scene I absolutely loved was the Daddy shark bit bc that is exactly how it would go. Like father like son and it’s so perfect for Goten and Goku! Thank you so much for including these in the commentary! And to give us get reaction videos too! You spoil us! I love Kaiser’s evil laughter when talking about it 😂. Hang in there Lani!

Can't wait for the April Fools day episode where they do a creators commentary of their first creator commentary 😂😂😂

Thank you for keeping dragonball alive and rekindling my love for the series. I grew up watching dragonball in the 90s and in middle school discovered DBZA which kept the series fresh in my mind. Then when Super ended yall dropped the Buu bits and it immediately felt like i was a kid again

I'm so glad yall covered this, the TFS Abridged Commentaries all through last year made my Saturdays worthwhile & even tho its sad news about the Legend himself passing, This was a nice thing to boost the spirits. These were all so well done, Katy crushed it as Videl and so did all the new VAs. What a fun series and Im excited to watch yalls GT rewatches

RIP Toriama. he literally made my childhood a better place where i can escape the world and the bullies of my childhood. this one really hurts… rest easy you absolute king.

I'm so thankful to you guys for even doing the Buu Bits in the first place. It was more than I honestly ever hoped for. I was fully content with the fact that we would never see the Buu saga abridged, so these were a pleasant suprise. Thank you all for giving us this glimpse into what a DBZA season 4 might have looked like. It means so much as someone who has been watching since the start when I was only 7. Hats off to all of TFS and everyone else involved. You guys really knocked it out of the park with these.

Hey Lani I just wanted to say marvelous job on every piece of work that you've done and Vegeta's sacrifice is one of the scenes that I always remember greatly from watching dragon Ball z for my first time ever when I was younger and I got to say in a way your version of it made me cry harder. Yes, even for you. Best buddy when he finally acknowledges kakarot has his best friend right before he blows himself to dust. Had me laughing and crying tears as sad and I said the same time all the way through the rest of these buu bits

Goku: Ah hey Gohan, you taught him how to dodge. Piccolo: Actually, that was Chichi. Goku: Yeah, that checks out.

Vegeta's pride kept him alive when he had NOTHING. But he got things better than pride to guide him. Things worth following. Things better than the only thing he'd had left for so long. He never noticed when it stopped holding him UP and started holding him BACK And when he finally did, he was finally able to grow past that wounded, prideful child.

I already said it before when you guys had the idea, but I'm super excited to see GT with you, because I've never watched GT before, so it'll be interesting to see it with people who can add interesting information and opinions. Excited for next week!

Lani makes a good point about the "best buddy" line at 48:27 I always saw it as, when Goku said they were buddies back in Namek, Vegeta secretly felt that Goku genuinely was the closest thing he had to a friend, but he just never wanted admit it. So when Vegeta sacrificed himself to Buu, he had nothing more to lose, so he might as well admit in his heart that they are in fact best buddies. But, Lani ain't wrong. That probably would have made more sense during the Kid Buu fight.

@GoldStorm07

3 ай бұрын

On the other hand it's clear during their fight just how much Goku means to Vegeta ("*God* I missed you...") so Vegeta might have just come to that understanding earlier here.

My favorite part of the "going even further beyond" line is that it's the same as the original, no joke, no changes, because you can't improve perfection. plus, you just KNOW Masako was dying to say that line

The buu bits were sooooo good Really wished there was a full season of it Thank you for your amazing work over the years

Love how the status of the last line in the series went from "That feels... Anticlima..." to "Boob!" Which also (unintentionally I'd guess) build a bridge to episode 1..."Boobs! I mean Bulma..." 😂

"And that's it Abridged Creator Commentary is over!!!" "Wait what's this?! Abridged Creator Commentary is back and WITH A STEEL CHAIR?!?!?!" Also rest easy Toriyama. Thank you for giving me and so many other a massive part of their childhood and adulthood memories.

Kaiser and tfs absolutely blessed us with amazing content and I am so thankful for it

It would be so cool if we get a full Buu abridge someday. The Buu bits were so good. I love you guys! Thank you for making me smile all these years!

Okay, I know I'm late but honest to Kami, you have built something so incredible with DBZA. When I saw Vegeta's sacrifice scene while watching TNM's video I legitimately cried a bit because of how much you have made Vegeta into a person. Not a character for us to laugh at but a genuine person. I remember sending the video to my partner at the time and telling them to watch it cause it was making me cry lol. I heard of DBZA a little while after it had finished and got to binge the whole show. From start to finish, all roughly 12 hours finished in one day. The impact its had on me is greater than therapy and it will remain one of my favourite things to watch when I'm feeling like shit. Thank you so much for creating something so dear to me and making these characters, not only funnier, but real people in the eyes of so many others.

I can't express how much I loved this... you are all geniuses/masters of your craft

We will always remember you RIP Akira toriyama you were a true legend

You'll be forever missed, but never forgotten. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.

Ever since your TFS gaming playthrough of Buu's Fury, I had been waiting for mid life crisis Vegeta and the Buu bits gave me that and I'm so happy we got it. Buu bits felt like closure for both you and the audience for DBZA. Also I stand by Vegeta calling Goku best buddy when he sacrifices himself. It's cute and feels like something Vegeta would only admit in his final moments. That Kakarot was in some weird way is his closest friend, though he'd never say it to his face. Since this was the end for him and for his final moment to be one where he fully lets go of his ego and pride. To not only think about the people he truly cares about the most but to respect them, in the way they would want, I think works. Also helps that he doesn't say it out loud. No one knows that he called Goku his "best buddy" but him. I do think if you did the Buu saga in full it could hit harder in the you are number one speech. I think it's fine as is and still works very well. Some might call it cheap but I think it's earned enough. Perhaps in the fight with Kid Buu it could be him saying it out loud ONE time, or just smiling at Goku calling him best buddy. Allowing it to slip through when it's just the two of them but never allowing to show in front of others. Maybe a bit cheesy you might not agree but I think there is a way to make it a progression from final atonement to you are number one.

To me some of the pacing felt like an extended kai episode or a sort of 0.5 episode and the jokes oh my god. I was pausing every couple of seconds to laugh my ass off and it showed me that despite the burnout you guys had from all the work in general and the work on the cell arc and making the ending the grand finale that it was, the buu bits showed me not only do you guys still have it, it's just cranked up and it felt great.

1:09:11 I've always felt that Brian Drummond's take on the fusion voice is SUPER overlooked. It really shows his versatility as an actor. He does a Goku-style voice, but with the confidence and edge of Vegeta. As much as I LOVE Kirby Morrow's Goku, Brian absolutely stole that entire section of the buu saga with that performance.

The they/them joke with Gotenks reminds me of this fan dub of a venom comic that says “Spider-man, we go by they/them not because we’re non-binary, but because we are literally two mother fuckers!” so I love it. I’m also a he/they, so I find it funny for that reason, too

1:03:00 legitimately, if I saw this as a kid, I would have started crying, it would have scarred me for life, and I would have hated those psychos till the end of my days. This scene would have stayed with me the same way the scene in Yu Yu Hakusho, where elder Toguro crushes the sparrow in order to make Yukina cry, still does to this day. They're both scenes of senseless slaughter for the sake of sadistic pleasure that the camera focuses on for a loooong time. Like, the anime WANTS you to take in the cruelty, it wants you to hate these characters with every fiber of your being. And it WORKS. There may be worse villains out with bigger crimes and kill counts.....but these two are definitely more hateable in my eyes

So good to see this, and so hard to know that it's over. Still, I'm looking forward to your Grand Tour. :D

considering the Buu saga Abridged might not work at all when produced like the rest, due to the many reasons mentioned previously, this is the perfect sendoff to dbza. It's kinda like an epilog montage to lay the series to rest properly. love your guys' work, and RIP Toriama. Such a Legend.

Thanks boys for everything. It was a genuine pleasure. Still waiting for this with Hellsing though.

When DBZA was canceled, I completely understood and accepted why. Though, deep down in my heart of hearts, I was hoping they would make stuff around the biggest moments of Buu. So, imagine my state of mind when I first saw the Buu Bits. So thank you, Team Four Star. Words cannot properly articulate how grateful I am that you did this.

Man. This has been a rough year. My uncle died like a week before Toriyama. I've never lost someone this close to me, and the pain has been immeasurable. The world doesn't make sense anymore.

First off RIP Toriyama-Sensei. Thank you for making our childhoods adventurous and amazing. Arigato. 🙏🏻😔 The Buu Bits were a hilarious way to cap off DBZA. Thanks for this TFS I needed it. My mother recently had a stroke so I’ve been going thru the motions the last few weeks. She’s recovering but it hasn’t been easy. Looking forward to watching GTFS 😅 Grand…Tour… yaaaay…

Honestly TFS, I think we ALL would love a revisited Hellsing Abridged commentary if at all possible. You all did amazing and it would be wonderful to hear even more in depth about each episode like you have successfully done for DBZ abridged!

47:00 Out of all the vegeta sacrifices dub's, Lani's is the one that makes me shed a tear almost everytime because its so, goddamn beautiful how much passion was in it, it made me, a grown ass man, cry like I did as a little kid seeing vegetas sacrifice for the first time

This was the peek into an alternate universe we needed. It gave me so much happiness to have more of more TFS goodness. HFIL is amazing but the Buu Bits felt like a return to the Namak series, in terms of a mix of comedy and scary.

As of right now I have (re)watched all the Dragonball Z Abridged Creator Commentary episodes and it was a wonderfull journey to make. It's rather bittersweet to watch a final episode of any show (especially if you love the show), but every good series Must have an ending. My next goal is to finally watch Dragonball GT at it's full completion and it's kinda a coincidence that yall are making the Dragonball GTFS Commentary. That just means that there's more content for me to watch. One more thing, just thank you tfs for abriging the show. That's it, looking forward for more stuff.

Looking forward to GT. Thanks again for everything you guys have done.
