1) didn't know you meant it that way. Yeah, "that's my B" existed prior to DBZA I'd imagine.

2) Coincidentally nobody ever said to me when I was in school.

3) To be fair I never knew cunt was considered the curse word to end all curse words until Vegeta used it on 18 and everybody even her brother looked shocked.

Nope. Just never heard it was considered a particularly bad swear, oddly enough. I rarely heard it used as a swear at all. In fact the only two times I can recall hearing it in anything I've watched were in DBZA, Hellsing Abridged, and when Hit-Girl says it in Kick Ass to a couple of thugs.

Interesting it's less offensive in the UK though.

That it's considered so severe is probably part of why you've heard it less often.

But, yes, what is or isn't offensive various from country to country, and that specific word apparently isn't that big a deal in some countries like the UK or Australia. Especially Australia, from what I've gathered.

From what I've gathered in the US, it's a sexist slur on-par with the N word in severity. Or... was, about 7 years ago. I don't think it's seen as that bad nowadays, currently it feels like it's more just on-par with its male counterpart "cock".

Really? In terms of severity, it feels like it's swapped places with "bitch" to me.

In case you haven't enough, a hour of the Ginyus twerking. We just need Zarbon in a speedo to round out the ensemble.

At first I was kind of annoyed to see TFS still milking DBZA when they're self-admittedly "done" with abridging.

Then I watched the first 6 minutes and honestly? Seeing Abridged Cell and Freeza interact is a dream come true.

This isn't abridging. This is fanfiction. The difference is that TFS has full creative control over their interpretation of the characters, plus original animation.

Speaking of which, I'm glad to see that Cell's adventures in HFIL are going to be recurring videos and not just a oneshot for Dragon ShortZ.

There's a moment near the end where Cell is about to tell Freeza who killed him, and it got me thinking, did canon Freeza ever find out who that super saiyan was, even by the end of Super?

I like the Canon Welding they're doing here, both to make the Otherworld Tournament's version of Hell and the DBS version of Hell plausible.

I don't think he did.

I was actually looking forward to Cell revealing that one of Vegeta's sperm killed Frieza. In a roundabout way, TFS Vegeta went nine for nine against Frieza and his men. Of course, Cell was killed by that little boy that was sometimes hanging out with Vegeta, so it's not like he can talk.

The little boy, as he said, got JACKED when it happens to him.

But he really should include the part he got Goku killed though in the process.

Yeah I was expecting that pop-off but that's alright, the burns Frieza and Cell tossed at each other were still fire.

Raditz got Goku killed in the process too, and it didn't earn him any respect.

Piccolo did more than anything, since he used it as an opportunity to take him out too.

There's also the fact that Cell actually got a dignified death unlike the rest who either got diced up and blasted by Trunks (Freeza), got a hole blasted in him by Piccolo (Raditz), got cannibalized by their spawn because he forced them to commit genocide to shift the blame that he caused the drought (Super Kami Guru), or killed by Vegeta in full egomania mode (everyone else not Cell). Although he did get distracted by Vegeta but still.
