Wouldn't it be pretty funny if, when it came time to abridge the episode where Buu offs the whole gang, they had everyone do the disclaimer at the beginning together?

[up]That does sound good.

In one of the earliest episodes of the Cell Saga, Yamcha reads the disclaimer and notes that he's already done it. What was the purpose of that?

I think that was the episode where Gero nearly kills him. Yamcha noticed a pattern with the disclaimer announcers and well that was the joke.

I'm glad Vegeta2096 left the show. His Yamcha and Roshi were horrible. The current cast does a way better job.

I didn't think his Roshi was too bad, his Kami was abysmal.

[up]Oh my Kami, I forgot about his Kami. He sounded like he was choking on sandpaper.

It was pretty much the voice he used for the 4th Hokage, if I recall.

Yep, it was. I kinda miss it though. Besides Mr. Popo, it was the one DBZA voice I could do well tongue

New Kami is still objectively better regardless.

I don't think we know precisely what happened, but my recollection is that some kind of personal falling out happened.

I wonder if they're going to lampoon how weirdly (if even a bit annoyingly) ambiguous the dub was about the fact that 17 survived the Cell Saga. 'Did 17 get wished back?' 'I dunno, it's really unclear.'

Also, I'm wondering about the Krillin Owned Count come the Buu saga. In part because he's in the plot less, and in part because he's used in that way a bit less, he doesn't really get into situations where I'd call him owned that much - I can only think of a handful (literally, I can only think of five blatant examples, though I guess there's always potential for more), and a couple of them might make better Yamcha jokes (and one is pretty badass on Krillin's count even if he does get owned).

[up]Doesn't Yamcha fight Olibu and that green guy in the Buu Saga? I wonder how they're going to handle that.

Olibu's probably going to be portrayed as a washed-up old star who can't stop talking about his own legends.

Things to look forward to in the next 5 or so episodes...

1) Piccolo vs Cell

2) Vegeta and Trunks training

3) Piccolo vs 17

4) 16 vs Cell

5) Tien stopping Cell

One of the parts I'm looking forward to the most is Cell "sneaking up" behind 17. Seriously? How did he not see him.[lol]

Vegeta3986 voiced Yamcha, Kami, Raditz, Kui and Bojack before he left. MasakoX was Roshi at first, then he gave up the role to Lanipator after Kaiser discussed it with him. I think that worked out well.

Really? Huh.

His Raditz and Cui were perfect, but not the others.

About Raditz, I think that was a major missed opportunity. He's the main characters brother. There should be plenty of stories that could be told with that.

On Vegeta saying he doesn't listen to bastards. I thought it was cruel and funny. It reminds me of the Bart joke on The Simpsons where Bart calls his illegitimate uncle a bastard.

I also love how they frequently mention what a terrible parent Goku is.

1) He lives off the Ox Kings money.

2) He abandons his wife and son for years at a time.

Krillin: So when’s the little guy going to start training?

Goku: Actually, Chichi is making him study. She wants him to grow up and be… What’s it called?

Krillin: A responsible and productive member of society?

Goku: Yeah, lame; that’s it!

Didn't Goku win prize money from the one Martial Arts tournament he actually won at the end of Dragon Ball? And while Goku is a bad father on screen, I do like to think that he's a good father during times of peace (Like during the 3 years before the Androids appeared), we just don't get to see it.

Goku's a decent father for the roughly six years of Gohan's life that he was around.

Goku is as Gohan raised him.

True. That's an important point that a lot of people don't take into account. Goku was raised by an old man who found him in the woods for a few years before he accidentally killed him, and then he spent the rest of his childhood on the road with a teenage girl and a talking pig. Goku never learned what it means to be a father because he never really had one himself.

Krillin can be obnoxious, but I wouldn't call him a "pig"!

[up][up][up][up][up]Considering he blew all of Jackie Chun's money on one meal, I can't imagine his own lasted too long either.
