It'd be a shame if we don't see Buu, but if doing it is too much, then maybe it's better that way.

In the end, it's up to them.

It's not that it would be too much, but youtube's copyright policies getting too stringent.

That too.

Toei's giving them more trouble lately as well aren't they?

I mean, I'm not sure I'm even joking about Toei killing them.

Like, think about it. If a corporation is a person, the only way to kill it would be to put it out of business. So if, in Toei's view, TFS is depriving them of revenue, killing them first would just be self-defense.

I am 100% certain that the cyberpunk future will involve corporate death-squads.

Well, there was that one joke that made about abridging Super, I do believe, back when it first started airing.

Seriously? You guys can't guess what the DBCember Special's obviously going to be? It's Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans. I'd be surprised if it was anything else.

Quite fitting than the short-term series finale will hit aroubd the 10th anniversary of the series.

Oh well, fuck current Youtube and corporate mindset, and here is hoping they pick up Buu in the future.

Also, corporate death squads are weak to hammers and sicles.

[up][up]I feel like an idiot for forgetting that we're at the appropriate timeline placement for that, especially since I was just thinking about Hatchiyak as a candidate for Xenoverse 3.

I think "Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans" was an NES game, but there was also an OVA released which had the same plot?

The OVA was "plan to eradicate the saiyans". The later re-release added "super".

My wonder would be: how they will show dabura and babidi? I mean those two were intersting in how out of deep they well about earth so having him around would be in pretty good jobs.

Also, ahve team four start pick any DBZ movie?

I just realized:

If they don't do Buu, then we'll never find out which character was cut out.

They did say someone who was in the canon version of the arc was going to be excluded from their version, and we never really figured out who.

Who is to say they will never do Buu? Just relax and live.

Wait they did? Did they clarify if it was like a major character or just someone like Pui Pui?

All bets on it being Popo, for the sake of their joke with him.

It would feel odd to cut Popo from the Buu Saga when the scene that inspired TFS' version of Popo was him briefly holding off a SSJ Goten and Trunks.

It wasn't cutting Popo from the Buu saga entirely, it was cutting him from the scene where Buu murders everyone on the lookout.

Now it's my understanding that Funimation is big fans of DBZ Abridged, and that Toei is the one who keeps trying to get it canned?

I believe TFS has worked with Funi before or are doing it now for the Hells anime dub, so I would assume that they're on good terms.

Yeah. I mean, they let the actors do some voices during the Cell Games re-enactment in the kai version of the Buu saga, so Funi is pretty cool with them.

And lets not forget Nappa have voice samples in Xenoverse.

Toei however, just sees some dudes messing around with their property.

That's where my money's been.

I just have no idea how they're going to pull it off after they made Popo... for lack of a better word, "more complex" this season, actually having him miss Kami and making Dende the Replacement Goldfish. To have him Face–Heel Turn and eat everyone... plus, you'd have to have him become Buu somehow, or have him "infect" Good Buu.

Editing the footage to accomplish this would be impressive.

I don't think anybody's said anything about him becoming Buu.

I think they were talking like Popo would just be completely removed from the scene entirely. Also, they have confirmed on stream that DBZA Popo is canonically future Dumplin, and they have yet to change or refute that, as far as I'm aware.

My best guess is that Popo's just gonna nope the fuck out of there before Buu goes on his feeding frenzy.

Or maybe Popo dies before the scene? It's very possible.
