...I mean, I suppose someone might rip it off their site or download it and then put it on youtube as a copy, but.

It won't be on their youtube channel for two or three days.

EDIT: Team Four Star has never abridged World's Strongest.

I understand why they do that. It's a great way to promote the site and we shouldn't begrudge them for that.

I'll keep begrudging it until they get a better video player.

Edit: Hey, they corrected themselves for calling Beerus a villain instead of an antagonist. Good on them for heading that off (even though it's debatable). People going "uh, actually" on that subject is one of the most annoying things on the internet.

Trying to destroy the Earth tends to be kind of a villain thing.

Hahahah.

They used (Steven Universe's) Lapis Lazuli's theme for Android 18

That was both sweet and hilarious

One of them recently inherited a home with probably an infinite supply of food, and the other is best friends with a guy who might be a prince.

I'm not sure movies count?

I don't think I've seen Chiaotzu's doll wife outside that movie either.

And I don't think Piccolo's inherited the lookout unless he takes back the god/guardian job and. He hasn't. And he won't.

Yeah, we're talking about Zenny.

And having homes.

Which. Admittedly isn't necessarily the same either, so.

The lookout doesn't sell its food.

He hasn't and won't take the job. And yet he hangs out on the lookout for basically the rest of the series.

To quote my brother: "Zeni is the most badass currency there is!"

For those who want to compare here is the original song "Giant Woman" that Goku was singing at the start. For some context, Steven, that's the kid, is saying he wants Amethyst and Pearl, the two ladies in the scene, to do a fusion dance and become a fusion, or giant woman. Yes, it's an actual dance that results in two characters fusing. Steven Universe has several things in it that are homages to Dragonball, among other stuff. It's a great show and I would heartily recommend taking a look at it, especially if you like Adventure Time.

Well Kami used to live at the lookout and it's made very clear in the abridged series that Piccolo has no home so I don't see where else they'd spend their time.

Remember back in season one when Vegeta wanted to kill everybody but Nappa wanted to wait for Goku to see how strong he was? It was exactly the opposite of how things happened in the actual show and left me wondering if they were going to go in a different direction with Vegeta's character. At that point he didn't care about waiting for the strong guy. Now here he is going out of his way to help Cell achieve perfection.

What's cool about SU fusion dances is that the actual dance is unique to each character.

I'm hoping when the time comes, Android 16 also gets revived and becomes Park Ranger bros. with 17.

I think it was a matter of goal and expectation. Back then, Vegeta was so above everyone there that he didn't expect anything from Goku. He didn't come to Earth looking for a challenge, so he wasn't disappointed when he didn't found one. Now, though, he genuinely thought Cell would put up a fight.

The deleted scene at the end is something I have thought about for ages.

When he actually did it he didn't step on the button. I feel like that was intentional. Still, that could have gone really bad.

But in the actual series it wasn't a detonator but just something to deactivate her right? I remember that but it could have just been a dub line change, which would be weird considering there was also a line about how Krillin would have to blast her after shutting her down.

I mean, it makes a kind of sense for Gero to have a remote to deactivate them and also a remote to blow them up.

Given 16 and Cell's bombs are seemingly designed to kill Goku at the least and possibly also the planet Earth and maybe even its solar system, it doesn't quite make a damn bit of sense for Gero to threaten them with the bomb remote while in the same postal code as them, much less a cave in the side of a mountain.

I dunno why TFS changed the remote Bulma gave Krillin from the "deactivate" remote to the "bomb" remote. I kinda want to ask them?

...I mean, if they had deactivated her but not destroyed her, would that have stopped Cell or made it easier for him?

I mean, I would think that the reason Cell is "completed" when he absorbs them is that he gets their infinite energy generators. I don't imagine he'd get much use from their human components. Like, yeah he can absorb them like all the other humans he absorbs, but it seems absorbing 17 and 18 is meant to be unique somehow.

Now, if they're deactivated, does that affect the generators? Put them in power saving mode or reduce the power output or something?

From what little I remember of the anime, Krillin does have a little moment when he thinks about how deactivating 18 would make her easy prey for Cell. So he sort of decides to deactivate and then immediately destroy her.

At that's how I remember it? Could be wrong.

Yeah, I know, but the question with that is, does Krillin know shit about how Cell or the androids work? Or is he letting his imagination get the best of him?

I think that's supposed to be him deciding to play it safe while he's still in the mindset of having to do it.
