In regards to what was mentioned about Roshi Bulma also made a deal that involved showing the old man her underwear with the added bonus that she had not realized that her underwear was removed during the night giving the old man a look at more than she planned to actually let him see.

I know it makes me a terrible person but I can't help but laugh whenever I remember Bulma accidentally flashing Roshi cause of Goku. tongue

Folks I think early Dragonball might actually be bad.

How do you not know you're not wearing underwear?

Can't you feel the fact that they aren't there? What silk, invisible, rich-girl panties was she wearing?

Well this is the same woman who once shot a child so she's prolly not all there up there.

Re Voice: Nowadays they seem to generally try to match the Funmation voice, unless they are going for a specific gag or it's Goku. See for example how they kept Semi Perfect Cell sounding a bit congested.

As Fat Buu has a childish, high pitched, voice, they'll go for someone who can do that.

[up][up][up][up]

I admit it's not great. I mostly like it cause I miss those simpler times.

Though most of that comes from thinking you could win fights through more than just higher power levels, but recent discussions made me realize they were still a thing even before pure numbers came into the picture.

Still, I liked the greater simplicity of the post first arc fights, and sometimes wish Toriyama didn't have everyone just learn most of the same techniques and shit (or have Goku steal other characters techniques and instantly use them better).

[up][up]Ooh, maybe they could have Yamato SFX to do it then? He's pretty good at doing a high-pitched voice, and it'd be a cool exchange since Team Four Star actors play as villains in SAO Abridged.

Yamato SFX prolly has too harsh, nasally a voice, unless they want to go a specific way. Buu is more "Baby-like" than "Angry teen". Yamato SFX isn't too good either at changing his voice based on what I've seen of him. Everyone he voices sounds exactly like he does IRL.

Also note that Hbi2k is already a long running TFS member. All the way since Farmer in episode 1. So it's not like the Elevator needs much returning.

Lanipator did Neiz' grunts in Cooler Abridged, who are pretty close to what Kid Buu's grunts sound like?

It's really not that bad. It's actually more clothes than Cell normally wears.

Going back to how the characters follow movement faster than the eye can see, how were Vegeta and Nappa doing that if they couldn't sense ki before coming to Earth (and Nappa obviously never got the chance to learn)?

It'd be a bit funny if they were completely in the dark about how the fight between Yamcha and Saibaman was going until the end.

Yeah, they'd have to be able to follow those kind of movements with their eyes. It's also made clear in the Freeza fight that Freezypop can follow Goku with his eyes.

So it's not 'beyond a certain point, they can only see using ki sensing' but ki sensing assists.

When Kuririn was trying to throw the Genki Dama, he was initially using his eyesight as well.

Inversely, android 20 was able to run from the fighters right as they were looking at him, because his energy could not be sensed and they were too accustomed to tracking energy.

Don't forget Cell was able to hide from them just by laying low, keeping his energy down, & running everywhere he went.

Calling it now: Bojack Unbound Abridged is going to have an short flashback to Future Trunks curb-stomping the future androids and Future Cell. And I think I can guess what's going to be said

  • Future Cell: I don't understand, how can you be this strong?!
  • Future Trunks: Like you said Cell (charges up shot), multiverse's theory's a bitch!
  • Future Cell: What the f*** do you meAAARGHH!!!

To be honest, the original Dragon Ball is still my favorite overall, due to not having a lot of the problems the later series are (in)famous for and generally just being a lot more entertaining, but it really doesn't come into its stride until the first tournament arc. The Pilaf Saga is practically a completely different show, which makes sense since it was basically just an extended parody of Journey to the West.
