The accent is there but the actual dialogue isn't. I remember because I heard all the horror stories about how racist he was before I watched the movie and thinking that everyone was really overreacting.

I would assume the dub would remove the overtly racist stuff.

Why are we talking about Super Android 13? Did Team Four Star announce that's what they were doing next?

I like how Goku doesn't really know why Piccolo fell down, he just saw him feeling fine and then fell over.

Goku was badly injured, Frieza was livid, and the beam was small, powerful, and abrupt; he might not have been able to see the attack. It wouldn't be the first time TFS made a joke about a reasonable assumption that's easily overlooked.

  • Goku: Your hair! It's yellow!
  • Trunks: ...so is yours.
  • Goku: IT IS?!

That one isn't "as" reasonable...Goku has bangs.

But his hair stands on end when he transforms, so he still wouldn't be able to see them.

I think he's saying that Goku should be able to see his bangs beforehand.

While I look forward to seeing Vegeta getting his handed to him. He had amazing lines this episode.

15's (And 14's) lines were expanded a little bit in the dub, yeah. Though I don't recall him talking like a stereotype, he just had fairly generic "we must kill Goku"-esque lines.

I know 14 had a "Little boys shouldn't play with knives" line right before disarming Trunks, though, which is pretty neat.

You guys think the Cell Saga will end on episode 60? That seems about where they will end up at the current pace.

51: Vegeta allowing Cell to become Perfect and Cell becoming Perfect

52: Vegeta fighting Cell and shooting the Final Flash

53: Trunks fighting Cell and Goku showing why Trunks fails

54: Cell announcing the Cell Games and Goku getting Dende

55: Goku and Gohan chill time

56: the Cell Games begin and Hercule 'fights' Cell

57: Goku fights Cell

58: Gohan fights Cell

59: Everyone fights the Cell Jrs

60 part 1: Gohan turns Super Saiyan 2 and starts wrecking Cell

60 part 2: Gohan finishes wrecking Cell and Cell explodes

60 part 3: Vegeta flails angrily in Cell's general direction and Gohan vaporizes Cell

Isn't #13 the one that got all political and insulted Trunk's hair in the same sentence?

It also gave us this glorious scene. I know Vegeta is going to make a callback to when that happened to him in the second Cooler movie.

Goku handles it better...and worse than Vegeta, somehow. He gave a quick scream, but immediately passed out.

How easy is to discern the color of your own bangs, though? I mean, I do have bangs too, but I don't think I would notice if them suddenly became red, much less yellow.

I think with decent length bangs, anyone would be able to tell if their hair was suddenly a golden blonde/yellow.

Darker colors, not really.

I interrupt this conversation to bring you more Batman in which TFS realizes how weird their conversations have gotten.

Also, I really love what they did with the Joker in this game. He's absolutely hilarious.

Y'know, I've actually never seen 15 until this thread, and I gotta say: they made him really really purple.

I say that because Dragon Ball has done blackface before with Staff Officer Black, and he's probably the most reasonable guy in the Red Ribbon.

Wasting time, resources, and the lives of men to make yourself taller? That's just wrong, at least try World Domination!

Then again most Anime and Manga designs have big lips and dark skin, just look at One Punch Man with one of the S Class heroes.

When you already run the most powerful military in the world, why waste a wish to a magical dragon on world domination? That's an awful lot of work to put into just shortcutting something you could do yourself. When you have the chance to bend reality to your whim, wish for something impossible, like doubling your height.

World domination makes sense for Pilaf because he rules an empire consisting of two subjects, but for Commander Red, it would be as fruitful as Vegeta wishing to blow a planet up.
