History Recap / DragonBallZAbridgedE33

* TakeThat: When Mecha Freeza reads the opening disclaimer, he suddenly malfunctions when saying "''Anime/DragonBallGT''," prompting King Cold to finish the disclaimer, after which, Freeza, [[ElectronicSpeechImpediment keeping to his Abridged self's mecha form]], recovers with "-''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13773739950A51495500&page=1 Absalon]]''"

** Trunks, much like King Cold did with "Earth" in the previous episode, mispronounces
a word in a name that someone corrects. In Cold's case, he pronounces Earth as "Ee-arth," while Trunks pronounces the silent "i," basing it off of [[BarelyChangedDubName Freeza's westernized name from the Funimation dub]], making it sound like "Fry-za".

** Trunks, much like King Cold did with "Earth" in the previous episode, pronounces the silent "i" in Freeza's westernized name, leading into the SpellMyNameWithAnS discussion below.

** When Freeza thinks he's killed Trunks, his [[PorkyPigPronunciation glitch]] causes him to refer to Trunks as "cadaveriffic," the same term the reporters made up for Yamcha after he got killed back in Season 1.

* MookDepletion: King Cold tells Freeza that they are out of mooks, leaving no one to fly them off planet. He forbids him from driving because that is exactly what one of the mooks was assigned to.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Trunks mispronounces Freeza's name, using the westernized form of his name "Frieza" as a guide which comes off sounding more like "Fry-za". Freeza corrects him.

* TakeThat: When Mecha Freeza reads the opening disclaimer, he suddenly malfunctions when saying "''Anime/DragonBallGT''," prompting King Cold to finish the disclaimer, after which, Freeza, [[PorkyPigPronunciation keeping to his Abridged self's mecha form]], recovers with "-''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13773739950A51495500&page=1 Absalon]]''"

* VillainousBSOD: Turned into a LiteralMetaphor. After Future Trunks cuts him in half, it cuts to Freeza's view just as in the anime, which flips to an actual blue screen. That then is what splits into two halves sliding askew.

'''King Cold:''' ''(genially)'' Oh, ''blindingly'' so.

'''Trunks:''' Okay... Sorta thought you'd be a little more pissed...\\

-->'''Kind Cold''': Oh well. You win some, you lose some. \\
'''Trunks''': ''Children''?\\
'''King Cold''': Yeah.\\
'''Trunks''': Okay, sorta thought you'd be a little more pissed...\\
'''King Cold''': Oh, ''blindingly'' so.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Naturally, this is Freeza's fate, before getting chopped into little bits and vaporized.

* ScreamingAtSquick: Trunks does this internally to [[OedipusComplex Bulma flirting with him]].

-->'''Freeza''': Actually, it's Lord ''Freeza''.\\

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Trunks mispronounces Freeza's name, using the westernized form of his name "Frieza" as a guide which comes off sounding more like "Fry-za". Freeza corrects him, prompting Trunks to ask about the i. Freeza says there isn't one, prompting Trunks to mutter that he's "gonna have to fix that when I get back then."
* StayInTheKitchen: Yamcha doesn't think Bulma shouldn't be going with the rest of the Z-Warriors to confront Freeza, since "a battlefield is no place for a lady". Granted, it's only a downplayed example as he's simply concerned for her safety despite their bad breakup. That said, not only is Bulma having none of it (see EarAche), but Vegeta insults him by saying ''he's'' still going.

** Trunks, much like King Cold did with "Earth" in the previous episode, [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY pronounces the silent "i" in Freeza's westernized name]], leading into the SpellMyNameWithAnS discussion below.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Trunks [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY mispronounces]] Freeza's name, using the westernized form of his name "Frieza" as a guide which comes off sounding more like "Fry-za". Freeza corrects him, prompting Trunks to ask about the i. Freeza says there isn't one, prompting Trunks to mutter that he's "gonna have to fix that when I get back then."

'''King Cold:''' [[FamousLastWords I'm a haggler]]?

* DullSurprise: Freeza describes his mecha form as "the ultimate culmination of science and nature." Trunks, having spent most of his life fighting the future versions of Androids 17 and 18 (actually humans converted into Cyborgs), isn't impressed.

* RelativeError: Bulma actually briefly flirts with Future Trunks, completely unaware that he's really her son from the future. This greatly alarms Future Trunks, though he does his best to contain his horror.

* DullSurprise: Freeza describes his mecha form as "the ultimate culmination of science and nature." Trunks, having spent most of his life fighting the future versions of Androids 17 and 18...isn't impressed.

** Trunks blocks the aforementioned Death Ball and brings it back up to the surface to the opening score from ''Disney/TheLionKing''.

** Krillin invokes [[Film/TheThreeStooges Curly]] when Vegeta says that he's going to kill whoever drank the last Hetap.
