[up]Goku turning Super Saiyan and Gohan's fight with Cell are both givens so I wonder what the other four will be.

Tien Tri-beam spamming Cell? Piccolo vs Android 17 (the best fight of Z IMHO)?

Goku turning into Oozaru the first time? Goku Vs Piccolo at the world tournament?

Krillin getting kissed by 18? Videl's "I'm screwing his brains out when he gets back" face? Fake Namek?

[up][up]Goku vs Piccolo already got covered in the teens.

Yeah. It would be redundant to give the final exchange of the fight its own number if the fight as a whole was going to show up again on the list.

Two separate but awesome moments of one fight is reasonable, but going "This moment of the fight" and then "The entire fight" has a bit of unnecessary overlap. I suppose it's possible that another moment of the fight might show up, but I don't think anything else happened in that fight that is more awesome than Goku's quadriplegic KO - which also marks the first moment in the history of the franchise that a protagonist other than Tien and Chiaotzu was able to use bukujutsu, which is a pretty damn big milestone given how prevalent it became.

Maybe Krillin's first death?

Flying.

I recall reading a Dragon Ball page with an Editor's Note saying it translates to something like "the technique of floating in the air". Originally, it was mostly just a Crane school technique, so the first people we see using it are Tien and Chiaotzu.

The literal translation of bukujustu is sky/cloud dancing technique.

Broly's airing on Toonami tomorrow. My desire to see that abridged is maximum.

What's the film order? What are the next couple to likely get abridged?

Cooler 2: Coolerer was our most recent abridged movie, which is movie 6. Movie 7 is Super Android 13, movie 8 is Broli, movie 9 Bojack, movie 10 Broli, movie 11 Broli, movie 12 Janemba, movie 13 Hirudegarn.

I'm sure Team Four Star will think of something good for Broly, there's heaps they could possibly do with him since Broly had next to nothing in the way of charactization outside of "He takes hits really well and wants to kill Goku".

From KaiserNeko's post here I get the impression the order of specials due out next year is 1) Android 13; 2) History of Trunks; and 3) Broly if they can manage it.

From all the TFS Plays I'm really looking forward to seeing what they will do with one armed Gohan.

I don't really care what personality they give Broly, I care more about his father.

He needs to be supremely Shakespearian like his Big Green counterpart.

[lol] If they don't already know about this, it must be made known to them! That is great.

You know, all the overrated hype around the character aside, I kind of like Broly as just a straight juggernaut brute.

They're well aware of the Big Green dub, they've joked about it a few times.

There's actually quite a bit of humour you can get out of Broly's hatred of Goku.

Considering how annoying everyone else can find him at times, someone who actually crossed the line and went Homicidal at him will have most of the characters probably saying I'm not really shocked.tongue

I'm honestly surprised they haven't already done History of Trunks. I thought for sure they'd have done it between the season 2 and 3 break like they did with Bardock.

Timeline wise, didn't that special air around the time Trunks tried to fight Perfect Cell?

I want to see how TFS handles this scene because it's definitely Vegeta at his whiniest:
