Man, Cooler's lines in this movie were fucking AMAZING.

"This is Cooler, the most illustrious fighter in the universe! And soon, you will be at his mercy." "What Mercy?"

"First you will see, then you will DIE."

Goku, j...just go Super Saiyan. Come on, you blocked Trunks's sword with a finger in that state. Stop screwing around.

I could've waited on the next episode of the regular Abridged series if it meant getting the second Cooler movie abridged day and date with this.

TORIYAMA!

The music that they use in the bumpers for DBZ... How I've missed it. I wonder if it has a name.

OH MY GOD, COOLER IS SO AWESOME. I forgot how sick he was. Everything about him was great. I wish he was a canon villain. I remember owning this on VHS as a kid.

And yes, I'm going out of my way to make sure I don't describe him as "cool." tongue

My favorite Cooler line from the original media is in the second movie after Goku demonstrates Instant Transmission against him.

Goku: You like that one, huh? It's called Instant Transmission.

Cooler: I know. It's one of my favorite techniques.

He just delivers it so calmly and matter-of-fact, as if he and Goku are discussing it over Sunday brunch instead of in combat.

Agreed. That movie had its faults (namely motivation, and Vegeta spotlight stealing from the regular good guys), but that line was great.

One fault in this movie was that it's basically "oh well, it's time to lose now". It ended rather stupidly.

Cooler de-transformed so we could get the standard DBZ Explosive Death Distorted Reaction Face TM.

There was some really bad writing and voice acting in this movie...

I thought the abridged series had done a little fudging on just how competent Cooler was. Nope. He was badass all through it.

Sup, bitches? A new making of episode.

Wakka wakka!

Notes:

  • The Cooler special will have a great episode title.
  • New opening incoming!
  • So this will be the end of season 3, eh? I'd love to see Kai Abridged videos for seasons 2 and 3.

I wonder if they're going to abridge the history of trunks?

[up][up]I hope so. They've alluded to the events of it, at least.

I do kind of wonder why they haven't done a DBZA: Kai Episode 2 yet.

I can't believe it took me this long to notice Cell's image flash for a split second in Season 3's intro.

Anyway, as funny as it is that they poked fun at the whole Spell My Name With An S things you get in dubs sometimes - especially with this series - something's been bugging me about the "Frieza" gag. Regardless of whether or not it's supposed to be there, the way Trunks pronounces the "ie" in Frieza is... weird. He pronounces like a word that ends with -ie like "pie" more than a word that has it in the middle like that typically is (like "grieve"). Even if he were pronouncing it with distinct vowel sounds like "science," it should've sounded differently. Though Rule of Funny, I guess.

I think I'm starting to nerd out too much with this series.

inb4 someone quotes Piccolo

Apparently, according to the making of video, they're going the Kai routenote  and treating the Android Saga as Season 3 while treating the Cell Saga like Season 4.

[up][up] It depends on the language, I guess. My German teacher would always remind us that 'ie' is pronounced 'ee' and 'ei' is pronounced 'ai'. She'd mention Justin BI Eber as an example to help us remember that rule.

So does that mean that the 3rd Season is over now because in the next episode Cell and Piccolo are fighting.

^ The next episode has a new intro, apparently, so yeah. Probably.

Would statements made by Team Four Star be considered DBZ Abridged Word of God, or DBZ Word of Dante?

Potentially both. DBZA Word of God for sure. DBZ Word of Dante if enough people start applying the things from DBZA to the source material.
