History Recap / DragonBallZAbridgedE45

'''Tien:''' The Dragon Balls don't work anymore, Krillin!\\

* CuttingTheKnot: After the Androids find Goku's house completely empty, the decide to go to Kame House (established to be ''literally'' the second place he will be). 17 discusses the best course of action to grt there but, to 18's relief, 16 has had enough.

* MassOhCrap: Basically everyone of the Z-Fighters have this reaction when Piccolo tells them they have no Dragon Balls anymore since Kami, their creator, fused with him. It takes a brief appearance of Goku to lift their spirits.
* MythologyGag: When Kami and Nail ask if Roshi would be carrying pot, Piccolo mentions the "Mafuba", making it sound like "mafia". The Mafuba is also known as "Evil Containment Wave", a move used against both Piccolo and his father, King Piccolo, back in the original ''Manga/DragonBall''.

* RunningGag: Goku continuously misnaming the words "Hyperbolic Time Chamber".
** Chi-Chi and Vegeta both quake in anger at Goku's idiocy and/or ignorance.

* ShoutOut: Goku mentions both the [[Manga/OnePiece Pirate Dream]] and the [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Ninja Dream]]. He also says the Ninja Dream ended.[[note]]The manga for ''Naruto'' concluded between the releases of Episodes 44 and 45.[[/note]]

'''Master Roshi:''' Uhh... was that a "yes"?\\
'''Chi-Chi:''' (''sing-songy'') It wasn't a no!\\

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Tien mentions the Dragon Balls, Piccolo realizes he never mentioned the consequences for his fusion with Kami.

* DeusExMachina: The Hyperbolic Time Chamber makes it's first appearance, and it's revealed to be at the lookout the entire time. Gohan then asks why nobody used it to train in previous instances until now. Popo answers that it was too dangerous to use when they weren't ''really'' pressed for time; Goku nearly died when Popo threw him in there as a kid. There were also the mentions that only two people were allowed at a time, and Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha had a different training session.

* MythologyGag: When Kami and Nail ask if Roshi would be carrying pot, Piccolo mentions the "Mafuba". The Mafuba is also known as "Evil Containment Wave", a move used against both Piccolo and his father, King Piccolo, back in the original ''Manga/DragonBall''.

** Following their defeat against the Androids in the anime, Piccolo meets up with Kami and reluctantly suggests fusing to become stronger. The rest of the Z-Fighters realize this means that Earth's Dragon Balls will be no more afterwards. Here, no one realizes the consequences until this point.

* DeathIsCheap: At first, Tien doesn't seem too concerned with all of the people killed by th Androids and Cell, as they can just use the Earth Dragon Balls to revive everyone. This changes when they slowly realize Kami fusing with Piccolo results in the Dragon Balls not existing, thus subverting this trope.

-->'''Goku:''' But you know what they say, Vegeta. When you fall off that horse, you get right back up and you eat that horse! Come eat that horse with me, Vegeta!\\

-->'''Piccolo:''' So... remember how Kami and I fused?
'''Tien:''' [[LittleNo Nooo...]]
'''Piccolo:''' And remember how we ''used'' to have Dragon Balls?
'''Tien:''' Ho-ly shit...
'''Krillin:''' Wait! I'm still confused.
'''Tien:''' The Dragon Balls don't work anymore, Krillin!
