Yes. The Great Saiyaman occurs immediately after the timeskip, just before the plot of the Buu Saga actually picks up.

[up] Correcting the spelling. Frieza's name has been recorded incorrectly in whatever he learned the history from (Bulma's database or something) and he's going to fix the typo when he returns to the future.

It's short but memorable, and I desperately hope TFS doesn't breeze past it like they did with Garlic Jr.

I don't think they will, because unlike Garlic Jr., this is actually from the manga. Gohan actually did that. It's not filler.

Great Saiyaman is so much fun.

Also, Gohan sucks at coming up with names. A transliteration of "saiyajin" is not a very good superhero disguise name, Gohan.

Great Saiyaman was terrible and anyone who thinks differently simply has a wrong opinion.

It was an awesome Sentai spoof, I mean seriously what else would happen when an Adorkable nerd with super powers tries his hand at being a super hero.

It works because Gohan is a massive f*cking dork and everyone else in the cast acknowledges and is embarrassed by it, but Gohan thinks it's the coolest idea ever. And it works because he's powerful enough to make it work.

He's the Ginyu Force of superheroism. He can be as dorky and ridiculous as he wants to be because when he's operating at a planet-smashing level of power, nobody can tell him not to be. Beyond common decency, all the reasons not to act like the Large Ham the Great Saiyaman is fall flat when he can block cannons with his face.

It is much shorter in the manga, though. Sadly. Great Sayaman adventures are probably the only anime thing I missed when reading the manga.

[up]Exactly. The point of the Great Sayaman is not that he is a cool super hero. It is that he is absolutely ridiculous and, yet, Gohan threats it absolutely seriously and everyone else is forced to because he is that powerful.

Great Saiyaman was the best and anyone who thinks differently simply has a wrong opinion.

No, I'd say that they were right but it just falls under an intentional So Bad, It's Good.

"Wrong opinion"

What an oxymoron.

Well, yes, that's why that part was a joke.

I did genuinely hate watching it though. Finding out that was actually in the manga (albeit it much shorter) was a big surprise to me.

Wait, I thought the Gohan Henshin thing was just gonna be GT? It's seriously in Z? Oh ohohohoh, this is gonna be GREAT.

-_-

So because it's in Z that makes it better.

Because it's in Z, Abridged is going to cover it.

I thought it was just another one of those silly things I hear GT was full of.

[up][up]Yes.

Also, I REALLY want that fan-crossover with One Punch Man to involve the Great Saiyaman in some way, shape, and form.

Look you put Saitama against anyone that's it. His power is literally to win every fight. Even he's unsatisfied with it.

Which is why I would rather see him and Gohan complementing each other on their 'awesome' costumes and the Great Saiyaman applying to be a Hero in the Federation.

You know, some of Abridged Vegeta's boasts are funnier now that, over in Super, he's mastered the power of God by doing lots of push-ups.

  • TRUNKS: He fused with Kami so he could get stronger.
  • VEGETA: The f*ck's a Kami?
  • KRILLIN: Basically God.
  • VEGETA: But I'm still here!
  • TRUNKS: Do you really believe your own hype that much?
  • VEGETA: I AM THE HYPE!!!

You sure are, Vegeta. You sure are.

I hope to hell Great Saiyaman is in the fusion game. "And then everyone was sentai" is the dream. Oh god. Ginyu X Saiyaman.

That is my goal in life now. Aside from fusing everybody with Mr Satan.

or as I like to call it, the proof that the Ginyu Force scarred Gohan for life

Scarred, or inspired for life?
