Dragon Ball Z Abridged

Vegeta technically does finally get humility at the end of the Buu Saga. And then GT happens.

I meant Abridged!Vegeta, but on that note...

Say whatever you will about GT.

It had one of Vegeta's best moments (at 1:21), which definitely shows him with some humility.

I think GT did a pretty good job with Vegeta's characterisation for the most part. There are a few times where his development is ignored and he bitches about Goku, but when that's not happening it's handled well.

Psh. Pan should've gone Super Saiyan when she thought Goku died.

Did Trunks actually go Super Saiyan in GT?

Pan should have already been a Super Saiyan before the first episode of GT, unless she's meant to be more of a Gohan-type hybrid. In which case Trunks' "death" would be perfect.

And yes he did. Possibly Super Saiyan 2 as well.

Okay, I didn't watch all of GT (by any stretch), so I didn't know there was an earlier possible trigger.
It's probably a good thing that she wasn't the Goten/Kid Trunks type hybrid, who could go SS at the drop of a hat...

Huh. Didn't know that.

I'd honestly prefer it if she was. Seen way too many fanworks that give her ultra dramatic Super Saiyan scenes when the first stage isn't such a big deal any more.

I liked Super Saiyan Bardock because that scene made Super Saiyan 1 feel like a big deal again.

I always found it odd they made such a huge deal about the legendary Super Saiyan throughout the Freeza saga and how there was only ever one for who knows how long, but then everyone with Saiyan blood could become one and a bunch of cyborgs could curbstomp them.

@Frishman, why would spoiler that line when that episode has been out for weeks now? And yes, several people in the thread commented on that.

Edit: I think you guys are overstating the Goku's "training" Corin just had Goku chance him around a lot to improve his speed and agility, and master Roshi worked on his and Krillin's strength by having them do farm work and carrying milk (and work on their education). I'm not saying that it didn't help, but none of that is really any different from what Vegeta was doing it was just standard "work hard and train your muscles and you'll get stronger". Nothing really impressive and revolutionary. And I think calling them the best fighter or martial artists in the universe is being way to generous to them as well.

TFS News!

Short break before the next episode, as Kaiser moves to the home of Funimation!

Also, I will probably buy the HELL out of that Androids shirt.

Man, Trunks, Vegeta, and Picclo sure got screwed over by their wishes in that arcade game, huh? Watch how you word your wishes, guys.

So many comments about how surprised they are that Kaiser is gay and why he would ever move to Texas.

[up]Ugh, he's just moving to Dallas not the backwoods, I understand the sentiment, but acting as if as soon as they step foot in Texas everyone is going to form a lynch party is both insulting and paranoid.

Anyway, they already live in Louisiana, I doubt Texas will be much worse.

Texas is like most states in the south - the actual cities are liberal and progressive, the smaller towns are full of people who think they need to balance that and do shit like supporting torture-straight programs, and the entire thing is gerrymandered to hell so the that the votes of sensible people are crushed down to be meaningless on the national level (unless Wendy Davis pulls a miracle out of her socks).

Heck, the Mayor of Houston is a lesbian. As long as he never leaves the city, he should be fine.
