Just learning Instant Transmission, the technique that is going to save the Earth as well as get them a new set of Earth Dragon Balls when they later need it. Which is NO excuse to not see your son for about a year.

Oh and learning to control his Super Saiyan side away from everybody else where it's safe for him to do so.

[down] See my post.

Did Goku even have an explanation in canon as to why he waited so long before coming back home? I don't remember one being given.

EDIT: Forgot about the Super Saiyan thing.

Oh, the Saiyan thing.

Well, there's always the HTC Droid. I mean the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

His reasoning is getting better, but not fantastic.

He didn't want to abuse the RoSaT, and as said if he didn't learn IT they'd all be fucked.

So it turns out Hercule is an actor, and Nappa is his producer? Can't wait to see where that goes!

The full episode is now up on Team Four Star's site, along with the promised extra scene.

King Cold sounds like more of a dandy than he did in a the dubs, and given how much of one he sounded like that's saying something.

A quick Google search says "PLTLH" is Klingon for "It is done."

It sounds like, to me at least, Nappa was casting Hercule as Vegeta.

I thought he as going to produce the live action Dragonball Z movie.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Great finale.

It really hurts to see Abridged's plot making so much more sense than canon. Bulma x Vegeta finally makes sense!. And then they lampshade Porunga talking in English.

Poor Dende

Wait, If really everyone killed by Freezer and his men was brought back to life, wouldn't that mean all Saiyans too?

Yes, but their planet was not brought back, and they all suffocated to death.

Sure is a good thing Vegeta was the only dead person buried, huh?

And that Nail didn't spontaneously burst from Piccolo's head, lol.

Man I hope Nail stays as a rare treat. Plus, I'd like to know what other cool features Namekians come with.

[up][up][up][up]Isn't there a time limit for bringing people back? I can't remember, but I could've sworn that you had to wish people back within a year of their death.

Is there something to the Porunga/Godzilla joke that I'm missing? I don't understand why all the random civilians are suddenly okay with the giant dragon after the police officer says godzilla a bunch.

He didn't die at all, ultimately.

So if the wish brought back everyone who was killed by Frieza or his underlings, why didn't Tien and Yamcha come back to life? Unlike Krillin and Chiaotzu, they never died before, so they weren't subject to the Earth Dragon Balls' limitation.

Because Nappa was working for Vegeta at the time. The stinger explains this.

He didnt say Godzilla. He said Gojira. Which is normal and not scary.

Also yes there is a one year limit on revivals. But that's for Earth. Not sure about Namekian.

Yeah. I know. But even if Nappa counted as Frieza'a man itd only bring back Tien. Yamcha was killed by the Sabimen. And Chaotzu blew himself up. Plus he was already revived once.

When you want to revive a group of people as opposed to one, only those killed in the past year are revived.

And Bulma/Vegeta makes plenty of sense in canon: Both of them were lonely and had a one night stand, and Vegeta wanted to raise Trunks after the Cell Games because of his bonding with Future Trunks. While doing so, he fell in love with Bulma.
