I dunno... it referenced too many previous lines to stand out comedically to me outside of the bet.

Sentimentally and for character development, it was great, though.

I really hope they don't turn Abridged!Krillin into a Henpecked Husband or something like that. Just let them have a very loving marriage with an amazing sex life!

Also, I'm really going to miss 16. I'd love it if they could just edit him to life. Regular!Shenron's too unimaginative. Abridged!Shenron isn't, and maybe might look kindly on them not making a dumbass wish.

...I like how musical this episode was.

Two characters singing is. I mean. I like it.

...I kinda miss their song parodies.

Why again did they go with the Saiyan armor for training?

I dunno.

Bulma made it and it'd be rude not to use it I guess.

I guess Goku agreed that it was better to wear protection when you take your son to a secluded area for some hardcore action.

So, which parent did Cell get his chops from, Goku, or Frieza?

Fantastic introduction.

Could have been Nappa.

Nappa's done a lot of songs for TFS over the years.

Also Nappa and Cell have the same voice to begin with, so.

EDIT: And since Krillin is in Cell's DNA in the Abridged version, I'm going to guess they're using the English dub of the anime and not the manga. So don't even start with that.

The first song was from... Frozen, Steven Universe? Haven't watched either.

But I have no idea where the second came from.

First is Giant Woman from Steven Universe and the second seems to be original.

...I want 16 to sing "let it go" at Gohan.

Maybe have Cell interrupt it, or.

...I mean, it's a song about repression. It fits Gohan.

I loved Cell humming his Bruce Faulconer Perfect theme.

Also, I gotta hand it to them for making both 17 and 18's "deaths" pretty sad here. Originally their scenes just kind of get... absorbed by the action and tension going on around them.

It helps that they both show themselves to be much more decent (or, at least, more overtly decent) than they initially seem just before Cell gets them. It's not exactly Death in the Limelight, but it's kind of similar. The original does the same kind of thing, making them more sympathetic just before they get taken, but not to the same extent.

It's interesting that 18 implies that with the exception of 16 they weren't even that committed to killing Goku and might not have actually done it.

[up][up] Cell cutting him off singing it with a No. Just... No and steps on his head could work.

I feel the opposite. I don't like their relationship in general so I hope they show it fizzled out at one point. Probably not but eh.

But anyway, I love how they picked at the problem with being "semi-perfect" and I had to watch it a second time but Vegeta saying "There's either perfect or not me, no in-between" was just priceless.

I mean, whatever problems I have with it I would still say Krillin/18 is the best relationship in the series.

I mean.

I adore how the features Abridged!Krillin focuses on are her hair, her eyes and her confidence.

It's actually really sweet.

Not really digging Perfect Cell's voice so far. But then again, Dameon Clarke is a Tough Act to Follow, so...

Taka's used it a lot in the gaming vids.

I like how it radiates smug superiority.

[up][up] It won't.

Like, I like youtube's player better than the site, but.

It normally takes them a day or so.

"Oh hey, it's the cute one." & "-gonna rock his four foot world."

The later one reminded me a lot of the "he's so cool" line from Resurrection F.

For the first one, it's nice to have confirmation that she wasn't just trolling 17 the first time.
