History Recap / DragonBallZAbridgedM9

** Also, the androids analyzing Gokū with their 3d-Scan Mode has a brief moment when it targets his crotch, labeling it as a "Potential Weak Point", making this a BrickJoke as well.

* AdaptationExpansion: Despite the shorter run time, 13, 14 and 15 are given much more personality than in the original film, where the three of them barely talked.

--> '''Android 13''': Howdy there, I'm Android 13. Look at my trucker hat.

* TheOtherDarrin: Justin Briner appears as Adult Gohan during his brief appearance; which many considered an odd choice due to Future Gohan being played by Zach Holzman. Justified due to the two Gohans growing up in entirely different timelines and being shaped by entirely different events as a result.

** Goten and Adult Gohan briefly appear in a CutawayGag that shows the former being RetGone.

-->'''Krillin:''' I don't get it; how are you not on some kind of list?
-->'''Roshi:''' You think Master Roshi is my real name?

** When Future Trunks sees 13, he references a certain speech from [[Film/SnakesOnAPlane a certain movie starring Samuel L. Jackson.]]

** The music that plays as Future Trunks confronts Super 13 is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7VmOZ4Ppj8 I am the Doctor]]", the {{Leitmotif}} of the [[Series/DoctorWho Eleventh Doctor]], referencing Trunks' status as a time traveler.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedM10 Dr. Wheelo]] is mentioned at the beginning by Dr. Gero, saying that he should thank Wheelo for him being able to [[BrainUploading back up his brain]] in the supercomputer.

** Goku is punched by Super Android 13 in the dick and left asking why anyone would do such a thing. Vegeta notes how the tables have turned, referencing the number of times that he got punched in the dick in ''Cooler 2''.

* PersonaNonGrata: To the surprise of no one, Master Roshi is not welcome at most Victoria's Secret shows.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53Uemlz785Y chant]] that Kami and Nail do to amp Piccolo up during the fight with Super Android 13 is taken from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwj91-uHDa8 "Piccolo Takes A Beating"]] from Weekly Tube Show. To make it more notable, WTS does the voice of Kami in DBZ Abridged, so it essentially serves as a reprisal.

** When the three additional Androids are revealed, Future Trunks asks Goku not to tell his father. When Vegeta himself shows up and asks Goku what's going on, Trunks can be heard saying "NO NO NO!" as Goku explains three more Androids showed up. Vegeta then says that "pretty sure that makes eight, never letting the boy live this one down."

** So many are made to Android 17's line about Super Android 13's trucker hat. It turns out that he really is obsessed with it.
** The movie opens with the main characters shopping for Korin and Yajirobe's wedding, alluding to the special video that TFS made with the two getting engaged following the Supreme Court verifying the legality of gay marriage in the US.
** Vegeta throws a doggy biscuit at 15's severed head, just as he did with Guldo and 19.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Both Goku and Trunks forget to turn Super Saiyan for a good while into their fight with 13, 14, and 15. It's only when Vegeta does so that they get inspired to follow suit.

* GenreSavvy: Gero tells Super Android 13 to go after Goku before he can finish charging up his Spirit Bomb, growing increasingly anxious in tone as more and more of Goku's friends try to stall for time.

** Right before Super Android 13 is confronted by Trunks, Dr. Gero says "Oh my non-existent God". Keep in mind that this is after Piccolo had fused with Kami. So technically, since Earth is currently without it's Guardian, non-existent is right!

* EarlyBirdCameo: Dr. Wheelo is mentioned at the beginning by Dr. Gero, saying that he should thank Wheelo for him being able to [[BrainUploading back up his brain]] in the supercomputer.

* RunningGag:
** Vegeta and Piccolo each make their entrances by popping out of ice to help take out a bad guy, with each also remarking in deep, booming voices that they had been awoken from a slumber.

* NeverLiveItDown: Trunks knows that this trope would be in play if Vegeta found out that there were ''another'' set of Androids that existed in this timeline, given how they would be another three that Trunks had failed to warn the Z-Warriors about. Sure enough, Vegeta invokes it immediately upon entering the fray.
