Line #37 Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedE35


1	->gasp "''OH NO! Yamcha's been Yamcha'd!''"
2	-->--'''Son Goku''' arriving after Yamcha was impaled by Android 20
3
4	!!!Original Airdate: June 9, 2013
5	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dbza_35.png]]
6	[[caption-width-right:300:Oh, look! Trunks is back! ...kind of.]]
7
8	It's been three years, and the Z-Warriors go to fight the androids. Can their advance notice give them the edge that will destroy Gero's creations and prevent the dark future from happening?
9
10	!!What you're going to do is go out, get a job, and help me write these tropes:
11	* BadLiar: Goku can’t even lie properly before [[CannotKeepASecret spilling the beans]].
12	-->'''Goku:''' We’re going to Ur-Gay!\
13	'''Gohan:''' Uruguay.
14	* BrickJoke: When Future Trunks left Goku three years before, Goku mentioned he was "a nice young lady". Here, when Bulma introduces baby Trunks to him, Goku says that's a girl's name.
15	* ButtMonkey: The early frames of the Android saga are ''especially'' bad for Yamcha. First, it's Trunks. Then, it's "Cat Loves Food". And finally, he's beaten pretty much instantly by Android 20.
16	-->'''Tien:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh, come on! Really, man]]?! [[CurbStompBattle You couldn't last, like, 30 seconds]]?
17	* ButWeUsedACondom: Averted since, as the previous episode told us, Vegeta ''didn't''.
18	-->'''Bulma:''' YOU SAID YOU WERE WEARING PROTECTION!\
19	'''Vegeta:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I WAS WEARING MY ARMOR!]]\
20	'''Bulma:''' You're a moron.
21	* CannotKeepASecret: The day of the battle, Chi-Chi is under the impression that Goku, Gohan and Piccolo are going to a study trip in Uruguay. Goku just lets it slip that they’re fighting the Androids. Interestingly enough, Gohan points out that his dad actually managed to hide this news from her for nearly three years until the ''very last second''.
22	-->'''Gohan''': Three years, Dad. Three years. You almost had it.
23	* ContraceptionDeception: Bulma had asked Vegeta if he was using protection when they went at it. Said protection ends up being his saiyan armor rather than a condom. Vegeta never ''intended'' on getting her pregnant. He was just unaware of the concept of contraception.
24	* DisappearedDad: Pretty much {{invoked}} for Vegeta in relation to Bulma and baby Trunks, since he left in the spaceship when she demanded he get a job to help support their child.
25	-->'''Bulma:''' ...And that was a year and a half ago, so... ya know, you tell me.
26	* DontExplainTheJoke:
27	** After wondering how a small island is so populated and developed, Krillin says prostitution is legal. Cue to Piccolo’s response.
28	--->'''Everyone''': Aah... \
29	'''Piccolo''': [[LateToThePunchline So the prostitutes]]...
30	** Krillin can’t drop the DoubleEntendre jokes.
31	--->'''Krillin''': Huh. Guess there's a new kind of fisting in this city. Eh? Eh??\
32	'''Piccolo''': [[DudeNotFunny Preeeety sure he’s bleeding out]].
33	* EveryoneKnewAlready: In the original, Goku lets slip that Baby Trunks is not only Bulma's child, but Vegeta's, before she made the announcement (even saying his name). Here, all of the Z-Fighters guess this. Goku already knew from the Future Trunks, though he had obviously forgot. Piccolo, because of he overheard the conversation. And everyone else because... Yamcha just can't catch a break.
34	* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are several signs that Goku's heart condition is acting up as he complains his chest hurts, and gets winded from flying to a nearby desert.
35	* GenreSavvy: When reading the disclaimer, Yamcha starts to get nervous, as if he knows what this ''usually'' means. [[spoiler:He ends up surviving the episode.]]
36	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Android 20 pierced his arm right through Yamcha's chest forthwith.
37	* InSeriesNickname: According to Yajirobe, Korin calls him “Bean Daddy”. He wants to open a burrito shop, though the two argue about it.
38	* MediumAwareness: Yamcha reads the disclaimer, and is uneasy about it, knowing something is up. At least this time, the usual implication is averted.
39	* MythologyGag: Goku's "You are most unkind," line is actually a reference to the contribution TFS made to the English dub of ''Anime/DragonBallZKai[=:=] The Final Chapters'', which was recorded around the same time as this episode but not released until 2017.
40	** Yamcha's "Cat Loves Food" song is a TakeThat from one of the earlier DBZ English dubs.
41	* NoEndorHolocaust: Android 20 assumes he had wiped out the entire population of South City during his attack. When Goku starts to point out that the casualties ''[[FailedASpotCheck didn't include the buildings behind him]]'', Piccolo stops him and they take their fight to another island before 20 catches on.
42	* OldShame: "Cat Loves Food" for Yamcha. [[IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney He did it for money]]. [[WasItReallyWorthIt And no, it wasn't worth it]].[[invoked]]
43	* TheOldestProfession: Krillin suspects prostitution in South City is legal, which explains how a small island is able to sustain such a developed city. By the time the Androids arrive to the city, an old man starts to explain his prices[[labelnote:*]]$30 an hour, $50 if they want it ''weird''[[/labelnote]].
44	* RunningGagged: It looks like Krillin is setting up the old "Too Soon" running gag from back in season 1 when he makes a joke about Yamcha's injury. Only for Piccolo subvert the response and pretty much tell him to get going.
45	* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Vegeta left Bulma a year and a half ago just so he could get out of raising their baby.
46	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Goku's reaction when Yajirobe's flying car is blown out of the sky after he dropped off the senzu beans.[[note]]Yajirobe survived the crash, and would not need to be wished back. In the original material, Yajirobe won't see his first resurrection until Super Buu blows up Earth, and it's wished back after Kid Buu's defeat.[[/note]]
47	-->'''Goku:''' Oh, hey. We've never wished ''him'' back before.
48	* TheUntwist: InUniverse, everyone already knows that Bulma’s baby was Vegeta’s. Yamcha, though averted from his suicide in Future Trunks' timeline, is still bummed about it.
49	* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Played with. Android 20 says that he calibrated both Android 19's and his bodies against the Z-Fighters based on recordings from the 22nd Martial Arts Tournament up to the fight with the Saiyans. Unfortunately for him, the nanobug used was destroyed before they went to Namek, meaning the androids don't know Goku is now a Super Saiyan.
