And when he comes back as Super Perfect Cell, it becomes pre-Final Boss music pretty much.

did they ever say anything about that remix of vegeta's theme?

Yep, there's a link to it on the episode itself: http://teamfourstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/AinTunez-SSJ-Vegeta-Theme-Fauxchestral-Version.mp3

And they explain the choice behind the decision in the breakdown of episode 52: http://teamfourstar.com/video/dbza-episode-breakdown-episode-52/

Basically, the person that provided the theme approached TFS, and even though Kaiser is normally against the Faulconer's stuff, he recognized that Vegeta's theme was significant for most viewers, and liked the redo of the theme. So they put it in.

There's no hate. I think this is perhaps being taken a bit more strongly than intended.

I honestly much preferred the original version of the theme to the one used in the episode.

but HOW?

Since we are still talking about Faulconer's score, Kaiser said he intends to use a remixed version of the SSJ 3 theme. https://mobile.twitter.com/KaiserNeko/status/719821776373424128

Kaiser's problems seem to be more about how the music was used.

No, he said "I can't forgive it being produced on a sheostring budget", something to that effect. He seemed to genuinely dislike it, while admitting there were some good things about it.

Which is problematic for me because the only parts of the original soundtrack I like were Gohan's transformation, Cha-La, and the Red Ribbon army theme.

Seriously, the original score was too "Chinese opera"-ish for me. That worked more for Dragon Ball, but not DBZ to me.

Different strokes people. As long as he's not being a jerk about it, I'm not seeing why any of us should care about what he prefers.

I do like Cells japanese theme too

The one that the episode even uses right after Cell regrows his arm

[up] (2) Well... it does kind of influence what musical selection we're going to hear in future DBA episodes.

I won't fault him - truth be told if not for this thread pointing it out I wouldn't have noticed or cared - and the scene where Cell hummed his "Faulconer" theme was amusing.

I'm not really worried about that because they tend to use whatever music they decide on pretty well.

If Krillin was able to sense that Trunks was holding back his full power, why wasn't he able to sense that Vegeta was also holding back by not using his really powerful, but also very slow, super Sayain form?

[up][up]Did Vegeta ever actually achieve that form? I thought he just figured out how to get stronger, but realized the gains wouldn't be worth it.

[up]How is that different from saying that Vegeta figure it out? Goku did easily enough.

I never really understood thinking that Vegeta couldn't do that. It seemed like the last refuge of people who just really wanted Trunks surpassing Vegeta to be true.

He did figure it out. He recognized that the form was too slow and therefore not worth using. Trunks thought it was actually superior to the normal super saiyan form, which Krillin presumably picked up from his attitude. Vegeta didn't believe he was holding anything back, but Trunks did.

Yeah. Despite using the same form, Vegeta was fighting at 100% and Trunks was sandbagging. Not because Trunks surpassed Vegeta, but because Trunks was too much of an amateur to realize the drawbacks of the form Vegeta deliberately didn't use. It's all about attitude.

Think of it like a martial artist's controlled strike. The martial artist uses enough power in his punch. He doesn't go overboard throwing every ounce of strength he can into it. Trunks looks at Vegeta's punch and goes, "Hah, I can hit harder than that!" but misses the fact that Vegeta can too; he just knows better than to sacrifice technique for it.

So it just occurs to me...

Trunks' brain is gonna melt when he realizes that for once, his dad actually used some common sense. I think at this point, he's aware of the fact that Vegeta lets his ego go to his head, but he's never really seen Vegeta when he's not like that.

Gonna be a harsh lesson.

Cell rubbing it in Trunks' face how stupid he was going about all this is something I'm very much looking forward to.

I don't even have anything against Trunks, I just want to see what they do with it.

I'm looking forward to the same, as well as Trunks returning the favor when Cell bloats up to his equivalent of Grade III in a failed attempt to keep up with SSJ2 Gohan.

Because TFS are masters of trash talk.

That's just taking all the sore spots in Vegeta's pride and stabbing them all at once. It's great.
