Goku and Vegeta had gotten new outfits and therefore redesigns for Resurrection F, but afterwards, we went back to their Android saga outfits.

A bit of a miss, if you ask me. I would have liked to see Vegetto with an outfit bearing Whis' signature and borrowing elements from the Resurrection F uniforms.

Same. I really liked the RoF outfits.

Android arc...?

You mean Karrot has a regular belt instead of that blue thing placed over it?

You know what's always bugged me? Future Trunks blowing up Freeza's ship for no reason. A ship capable of interstellar travel could be useful man. Well, in the dub of Super they just killed Freeza and Jaco was all like "I call dibs on Freeza's ship!" I really hope they use that thing.

Didn't he use Goku's old spacepod as a base for it though?

Yep. On it's own, his fastest ship (which would be the fastest ship in the world) would have taken more than 4,000 years to get to Namek.

Edit: Which oddly enough probably means it can still travel much faster than light, just as fast as alien-tech faster than light apparently.

The Z Warrior do have a tendency to completely destroy any advanced tech they come across.

Look at all the stuff Gero created. There are no plans left for the Infinite Energy Generator, which could have been a huge boon for mankind had Bulma and her dad had the opportunity to work on it.

Then again, they didn't manage to figure out anything while looking at 16 (I think it's been said neither of them could fully grasp Gero's work beyond creating the remote and fixing 18).

I also noticed Jaco calling dibs on Frieza's spaceship (I forgot it survived in the Super version, since I remember it falling into the ocean in Revival of F) and am glad it survived...even if it's never gonna be brought up again.

Would anyone like to see Doug Walker, A.K.A. the Nostalgia Critic in DBZ Abridged?

As a cameo I guess but personally I'd like a cameo by Brad Jones from the Cinema Snob.

Hey, you never know. Maybe he was worried the remnants of the PTO (and Cooler in the Movie Universe) would try to track the ship?

... so? That would, if anything, be a good thing. He's strong enough to kill Frieza, he knows Goku is coming, and Vegeta or Piccolo are strong enough to handle everyone that's not Frieza.

If anything it would make cleanup easier. And/or provide training for the smaller fish.

He appeared as the narrator for Attack on Titan abridged, and we know how that went...

My biggest concern in the hypothetical scenario of someone tracking Frieza's ship would be that anyone who would do so would know damned well that they couldn't take anybody capable of killing Frieza in a fistfight, and would instead opt for the pragmatic vengeance option: blow up the Earth from orbit and go home.

It doesn't matter how powerful Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, etc. are. They all die if the planet explodes. Someone with a battle power as low as 18,000 could wipe out all the Super Saiyans in a single attack if they don't know it's happening before it hits the Earth.

There's also the even more pragmatic option, where they eschew using anyone with a power level high enough to be tracked and just fire a giant fuckoff missile to blow up the Earth.

The Z Warriors could stop a missile in theory.

Hell, they could stop the bare minimum of power needed to destroy earth.

Now, a hidden bomb implanted in the core by someone with a low power level (who knows how to hide it) and then they fly off without seemingly doing anything...that could (obviously) do some damage.

Someone with a battle power as low as 18,000 could wipe out all the Super Saiyans in a single attack if they don't know it's happening before it hits the Earth.

Thankfully all the screaming and powering up and padding to show how powerful the blast will be gives everyone plenty of time to react!

Also if Namek taught me anything, its that if a planet is threatening to be destroyed, time slows down. Look how long 5 minutes can take!

I'd point out how all of that is part anime padding and part fight decompression and makes perfect sense but I give up trying.

Missiles don't have a sensable power level to track and counteract.

[up] No but people do watch space for a living. Of course, no one saw Freeza's ship coming so maybe they don't.

Space is big. There's lots of it. Its hard to keep an eye on most of it.
