[up] If that thing Kaiser tweeted about abridging a filler saga means what it almost certainly means (that they're doing Garlic Jr. Saga), then Dead Zone is probably canon to some extent (maybe only the characters voiced by Masako and Lani will remember the events of Dead Zone and everyone else won't).

I'm guessing they'd go with a Broad Strokes approach, since Gohan was kinda brain-damaged in Dead Zone Abridged while Goku was much smarter and much jerkassier.

That or DZA didn't happen at all, and nobody will know who the fuck Garlic is when he shows up.

Garlic Jr. is kinda begging for a "But for Me, It Was Tuesday" reaction from the heroes.

It would offend me if that didn't happen.

All right! At A-kon and fully intending on going to the 18+ TFS panel tonight. High hopes!

Edit: Or not. Because getting there a half hour early means "line's too long for you to get in". Oh Bur, when will you ever learn?

Okay, so there's no new episode, but the twitter delivers news!

Kaiser Neko: Alright, I can comfortably say: Part 1 of Episode 30 should be up by the end of the week.

Episode 30 will likely be three or four(!) parts total.

Also, this.

I had hoped that they would put a 5:00 timer in to make fun of how long that part actually took.

So Mr. Popo is the Eternal Dragon's master. That makes so much sense. And somehow Goku going super saiyan made him both smarter and dumber.

I am so happy that Freiza completely lampshades the fact that he's been allowed to transform thrice, attempt to blow up the planet, and get to 100% power with no one bothering to stop him. At least this series actually gave Piccolo a bit of an excuse, and also had Gohan asking what was essentially a Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? to Krillin during the third transformation.

Only the first part is up, right?

Medigo2 Since: Dec, 1969
#1793: Jun 17th 2012 at 12:37:17 PM

well Krillin has a chronic ailment of not using his destructo disk when they should

though aside from Goku as a SSJ, he really was the only one who could actually do something to stop said transformations

hell I think the only time someone did not wait around for such a sequence was when Trunks attacked almost Perfect Cell

So why did Goku let him transform?

Also, why did the narrator guy hesitate with King Kai?

Because stuffed crust pizza. You can eat it in reverse!

Grahf Since: Jan, 2001
#1797: Jun 18th 2012 at 1:52:51 PM

The narrator hestitated because King Kai referred to Goku as the one and only Super Saiyan. In series up to this point it's been heavily implied that a Super Saiyan is extremely rare, one in many generations thing.

After this saga though anyone with any Saiyan blood can and does go Super Saiyan. It essentially becomes the series superpower equivalant of the village bicycle. That's why when King Kai is throwing around phrasing like "The one and only" the narrator is like "... unh, yes ...."

[up][up][up]Specifically, Frieza bribes Goku with two stuffed crust pizzas, Goku gets into a telepathic argument with King Kai about letting him power up as a result (in which he gives a fairly illogical reason, but it's plain he really wants the pizzas), and Frieza actually powers up while Goku's distracted.

the joke being that the illogical reason was the actual reason in the original show, that and the whole 'want to see how strong he gets' business

Saiga Since: Feb, 2011 Relationship Status: Getting away with murder
#1800: Jun 18th 2012 at 3:52:52 PM

Well the real reason was that he was extremely pissed off and wanted to humiliate Freeza as much as he could, it was less "and he'll never bother us again" (which I think is how the dub says it) and more "I'm going to completely break him".
