Yeah, the amount of time it takes to abridge this stuff could allow for that. Remember how DBZ Kai didn't exist when this show started? Let alone BOG or ROF.

What episode were we on when Battle of Gods came out?

Not sure.

Oh hey, I was rewatching Super Android 13, and noticed that the first line is, in fact, the original "look at my trucker hat" mock.

Episode 33 had been out for about a week before Battle of Gods was released in Japan.

Yeah, Super's going to be well into the Universe 6/7 Tournament by the time TFS finishes the Buu Saga, at least. They'll be good.

It depends on how far the dub is at that point though, because they'd be the ones to ask TFS to refrain from Abridging it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't want TFS to dub it while the dub is still ongoing, especially if the DVDs and Blu-rays are still being released for earlier episodes.

Considering that some see the Abridged series as being better than the original version, that makes a lot of sense.

At least let the pro do their thing first, then make fun of it.

And abridged series (at least in the TFS format) work a lot better if they're abridging a series that's actually finished. Because then they can include foreshadowing and change lines now the abridgers have the benefit of foresight.

That's part of the reason why I'm sort of glad they stopped AOTA. Because that story has a long way to go before it's over.

I wonder how they'll pull off Majin Buu. He's basically a giant four year old. And his other forms are barely sapient.

Super Buu is fairly smart. Kinda. He's just got the emotional maturity of a toddler.

[up] Honestly, that's probably my favorite part of Buu vs. Vegito. Absorbing Piccolo, Gotenks, and Gohan gave him enough intellect and snark to verbally spar with the best of them, but dammit Vegito is just pissing him off so goddamn much...tongue

...What.
I didn't watch the whole arc, because I still disliked it and some parts were legitimately scary to me at the time, so I don't remember that line.

[up]Super Saiyan Vegito/Super Vegito (Goku+Vegeta Fused With Magic Earrings) VS Buuhan (Super Buu after absorbing Piccolo, Goten, Trunks and Mystic Gohan.)

Vegito calls his powered up form Super Vegito. Buu was having a laugh over it.

Vegito then proceeds to completely and utterly Curbstomp Buuhan the entire fight.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

Super Buu is fairly smart. Kinda. He's just got the emotional maturity of a toddler.

He's very cunning. His English is very poor, and there is much he doesn't know simply because he hasn't learned (like units of time) but even before he starts absorbing people he's quickly able to set a plan into motion in order to defeat Gohan.

He was also able to learn how long an hour was by counting grains of sand in an hourglass and mentally calculating how long it would take for all of them to fall. As well as determine how many people were still alive on earth before wiping them all out.

Dude has a poor grasp of language and is ignorant on some concepts, but is intelligent as hell. Even before absorbing Piccolo he's able to indulge in some psychological banter, too, of the "and they tasted good when I ate them up" variety.

It's like I said before, once Super Buu got sentience and power, he realized how fucking stupid and bullshit the universe he exists in is.

Gero had more androids? Why did he never use them first if they were that strong?

That Cha La Head Cha La was super catchy.

Highly defective and annoying, that's why. 15 has a drinking problem, 14 can't talk, and 13 is racist and has a obsession with trucker hats.

[up][up]Movies. They never make any sense.

Also, to be fair, they weren't that strong (super 13 aside). They kinda got their ass kicked as soon as they all turned into Supersayajin. A better question is why Gero even bother having 14 and 15 around, if he could have just used his parts to make Super 13.

The same could really have been said for Cell in regards to creating 17 and 18. The Android Saga really wasn't planned out in advance.

I figure 13's design was sort of a testbed for Cell's design. Once he got the purely robotic part of the process down, he could focus on working biological components into the idea, so that he could have a combined cyborg with all those cells he'd been gathering.
