..That was a really good ending, even by Abridged stanards.

I think Popo is talking about the tiles...

Android 16's love of birds is just adorable.

Loved the episode. Krillin trying to be tough is funny and watching Vegeta get his ass handed to him always makes me laugh. So they're really making Yajirobe and Korin a couple, huh?

What's with the spoilers, I don't remember anyone doing that before, and anyway it's been more than five posts.

[up]I've seen people compare their relationship to a stereotypical Jewish mother and son dynamic.

I just know it's gonna tie into the image of a bird that shows up when he's giving his final speech to Gohan.

I like how he assumed Krillin was a duck and smiled at him.

Interesting note, the binary at the bottom of 16's vision reads "KILL SON GOKU. FEED BIRDS.", and apparently his operating system is "GerOS"

Also, you notice how they used Cell's theme at the end there?

[up][up]I will smack you.

Loved the episode. Everything was funny, especially the squeals.

I never really got the "Toriyama"/bird/dragon thing from this and Cooler Abridged, though. Could someone please explain it to me?

[up]It's apparently a reference to some of the lyrics in the original Japanese theme song (which is also the theme of the abridged) and the fact that the tori in toriyama means bird, but I don't know the specifics.

Other than being the name of the author I don't know.

Toriyama in Japanese means "Birdmountain". So... Yeah. |D;

It also helps that Toriyama drew himself as a bird anthro during his Dr Slump days.

I can't quite figure out what Vegeta's saying here.

"You stupid ????, you only broke one of my ar-"

I can't figure out what he called her.

Ah, it sounded kinda weird to me, not to mention 18 just said bitch.

I heard "bint" as well, though it was probably supposed to be bitch.

I can't help but notice the series isn't really that abridged anymore. They managed to condense the entire Saiyan saga into 10 episodes. Recent efforts are basically just shortened versions of the actual episodes.

What's the difference? They've covered 31 episodes in 10 abridged for this season so far, compared to season 1 covering 39 episodes in 10 abridged. Pacing is barely any different.

"Bint" is, in fact, a derogatory word used to refer to women.

It was in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Lady of the Lake was referred to as a "moistened bint" by a peasant.

It might appear so, until you notice that Cell's saga was freaking long.

The last few episodes have been covering about 2 episodes each, on average. And at ~10 minutes per episode compared to ~22 minutes per, I'd say "Abridged" still fits.
