Piccolo being able to pronounce the Makankosappo is a very clever way to tell the viewer, that this isn't actually Piccolo speaking.
Exactly this!
And that the trauma that 17 and 18 caused along with never being able to bring anyone they killed back to life (also Goku) affected him more than we realise
Never noticed that. The subtle details are always the coolest
*makakappotimus
What's weird is how Gohan even knows the name of that move.
Trunk's back story is why he is no nonsense in fights. While everyone kept letting freeza transform and live he just took care of business fast. He didn't grow up on a world with Dragon balls and so danger and death are permanent to him so threats are to be taken care of.
Very interesting. Vegeta changes him after the hyperbolic time chamber in that regard though 💀
@@mrperfectcell1350 which is terrible character assassination
Well he didn’t have the same reason as others. It wasn’t because he wanted a better fight or anything, it was to not hurt his fathers pride
One of my favorite episodes, of all anime ever, is when trunks goes back to his time and just fucking wrecks everyone. Very satisfying to watch him finally set his world right.
@@TheGrimLlama until some black guy ruined everything...im sorry I said that poorly out of context.
Future Bulma is a great character in her own right and the additional story beat that Team Four Star added of her shooting her shot for Future Gohan is hilarious.
Funny that you mentioned terminator, Toriyama actually based Trunks’ character off of John Conner, and the time travel aspect speaks for itself
It does. And thank god he didn't make a bunch of useless sequels after that Special ^^
😀
Awesome characters inspired from the awesome franchise! That's sick!! 😎
Man, the Gohan death scene was easily the most impactful part in this entire viewing. Such a shame to have it cut. :(
Probably had to be cut because BBC owns the music there
I think TFS also cut the fighting scene where Gohan was doing good with 1 arm not sure tough I don't usually watch it.
@@donsq4306 Theyre not talking agout TFS cutting something out, theyre talking about DND having to cut the TFS version
@@zeallust8542 Yes I know.
no reaason to either never seen that cred
I think you missed it.
Vegeta screaming in the background while Trunks was talking with his mom about the time machine being almost done.
This is a throwback to season 2 where Gohan stole one of Vegeta's dragonballs, which sent him into a uncontrollable rage.
Somehow that scream was able to travel through space from Namek to Earth. Vegeta being so pissed off he was able to scream so loud that his voice was perfectly audible even after... what... 18 years? through the vacume of space which physically should not be possible
There are so many things here that I would want to touch on, but we get there when we get there.
I will say that we are one step closer to Krillin's one big win.
Y'know saying Krillin gets one big win at all (while vague) is a big spoiler all on it's own right?
@@anthonydeadman Eh
"that scream was able to travel through space from Namek to Earth" Into a DIFFERENT timeline too. His scream broke through time and space.
@@qtippz no, the divergence from this timeline and the canon one is after the Freeza saga, and Vegeta did that scream while still on Namek.
@@portalworld9880 But THIS future Trunks is from a different timeline that came to the main timeline. The canon/main timeline will always play like how WE watch(ed) it.
Trunk's transformation into an SS is one of the most sad, poetic, and badass moments. This movie is I think the only one that is in fact canon.
Edit: I see the copyright bots got to you both. Sucks, since I loved that they used that song from Dr. Who.
Yup this is based of toriyama's The trunks story a lone warrior
In the manga trunks was already a super saiyan from the start, which makes more sense but dramatically the anime did it better.
Bulma had most of her character development in the original Dragon Ball series, before Z. She was the first character to meet Goku when he was a kid, and she’s the reason he went on an adventure in the first place. She’s one of the most important characters in the Dragon Ball universe, but she became a side character when the show started focusing on high action fight scenes.
maybe they should also react to old school dragonball
I remember back when YT let users submit subtitles, I actually helped out with the beginning. So this one holds a bit of a special place in my heart.
bless the canadian sub
@@riccardomosena4162 yeah
What I've noticed is that Ken is more reactive to funny things with a chuckle, and Bethany is more reactivate to anything dark, morbid or risqué with a 😲 face.
Good eye
Monty Oum was originally planned to be Gohan in this movie, but he sadly passed away before they could record with him.
Also, the screaming in the background at 17:16 was Vegeta’s back on Namek that everyone could hear across reality
Probably should have waited a few episodes deeper into the Android Saga before watching this.
nah it's fine. they meet these characters either way. Also this is more intense so it feels more normal.
Also since they've seen the games they already know what they look like
I mean it’s fine. It’s not like they going to even know much about the red ribbon army to even have much connection to them. Plus I’m pretty sure the abridged version just goes fast and they’ll be fighting cell in next 10 episodes.
it's okay, they aren't the big bad of this saga anyways.
It’ll just make the appearance of Androids 19 and 20 more mysterious, which is fun in its own way.
The Roller Coaster guy honestly did not deserve that. That had the be one of the most polite workers I've ever seen. He even offered them fast pass options instead of calling security.
Rewatching dbz abridged with you guys is just the best thing
🤗🙂
14:51 Android 17 is not lying and this isn't even a "made up by team four star" joke, he was being fr 😭
You can hear the Vegeta screaming from 17:19 to 17:31
I always love the callback to Vegeta’s white hot fury scream from Namek that travelled all the way to the future 🤣
A bit early for this, but it's not too big a deal. I always find it wild how light hearted Dragon Ball is. Occasionally there are some serious moments. Mostly from Z onwards. Yet you go to Trunk's timeline and everything is so bleak. Goku gives his enemies second chances or time to power up. But Trunks knows how bad things can get. So he doesn't waste time and he goes straight for the mission
That's the thing I like about DBZ; it consistently shows how badly the Blood Knight character archetype can shoot themselves in the foot, unlike something like Bleach where Kenpachi is just soloing everything else and one shotting people he comes across.
Android 17 actually becomes a park ranger in Dragon Ball Super
And TFS didn't predict it or anything, I think they said they got the idea from a Toriyama interview.
It's funny that they're laughing at 17's dream goal but wait until they see that he's actually a park ranger lol
Also the androids and trunks are both based on terminator and back to the future
TFS really loves using Doctor Who music with Trunks, it's great
Makes sense though tbh both time travellers with dark heartbreaking pasts what with...
Trunks: baisically never got to know any of his extended family in the z fighters and only father/mentor figure murdered as well as his world baisically having ended
The doctor: the fucking time war and just the sheer amount of things he had to go through, losing his companions continuously to either them leaving or dying (katarina, Adric, peri, donna technically, the ponds, Clara, bill and nardol) like christ its heartbreaking, only women he ever ends up loving end up leaving (rose trapped in Pete's world with the meta crisis doctor) or even the fact of his literal wife cause of thier own timestremas being in opposite directions knowing how she dies cause he witnessed it as thier first encounter while for her it was their last and that's just the surface level stuff
Vegeta screaming 17:20
That touch was perfect lol
Yes this whole thing is before Frieza came to earth and also this was one of the most serious DBZ stories that’s probably why TFS made it a lil more tense to capture the original tone why also adding the comedy that we love TFS for😂
It’s sad how Monty Oum passed away.
You should go look at his signature, it was really creative and I think they even put it in RYWB at one point.
They did, start of season 3.
Had never heard of or known that man in my life, but yes, that is a great signature. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@mrperfectcell1350 His death was a huge deal back when it happened depending on what communities you were in. He was basically the whole mind behind RWBY (which ive never watched) but he was also very important in a lot of Rooster Teeth productions (he was the main animator on Red vs Blue) and animation in general on YT
This was a really fun special. I like Trunks and Gohan’s relationship was really well built up and I’m glad they brought back the dodge joke. The Androids lines were also hilarious I especially liked the line about the clothing shop. It’s also great to see that Master Roshi is still kicking he’s as funny as ever.
Bulma doesn't get a lot of attention in Z since she isn't a fighter, but she played a much bigger role in DragonBall. She was the one who found Goku living alone in the woods and recruited him to help her track down the dragon balls (so she could wish for a boyfriend)
Or a lifetime supply of strawberries. She was going between those wishes.
This is one of my favourite pieces of dbza media, it let's them exercise their dramatic muscles much more, Scott's scream as Trunks still gives me chills. You're kinda a few episodes early for this but it doesn't really matter since trunk's backstory can kinda be told any time at the start of his appearance
Edit: also it's a shame you didn't pick up on Vegeta screaming all the way from the past on Namek at 17:18
Yeah we missed that scream unfortunately 🤗
I hadn't realized that this was done about the time of Monty Oum's death, or that they even knew him. At 22:47 they showed "In memory of Monyreak 'Monty' Oum" in the credits. That gives me a new appreciation for the creators of this abridged series.
For those who don't know, Monty Oum was the creator and lead animator of the Rooster Teeth web anime series RWBY, until his death in 2015. He was a genius at fight choreography. RIP Monty.
They had met Monty. They looked up to him as a legend, meanwhile Monty had a thing where he watched dbza in the background while he animated rwby.
There was a mutual respect
"We both knew this day would come Oolong."
"I have long since made peace with this."
Something to note is that Master Roshi is 300 years old and technically immortal after eating the Paradise Plant.
He can still die though. Probably just immune to dying by aging or something like that.
You probably won't notice this if you're not fans of the show, but almost every dramatic moment Trucks has, TeamFourStar plays Doctor Who music over it.
The outro of this special is also the intro to Doctor Who.
Because, well, they're both time travelers.....
I love that. Especially in Super Android 13
also pretty obviously for any sci-fi nerds but the sound of trunks' time machine is also the sound of the Tardis from doctor who
They also used the Chrono Trigger festival music for the amusement park intro. Not DW related, but still time travel related.
It was probably cut out of the reaction video for copyright reasons
It really messed up TFS with copyright though...
17 talking about being a park ranger is a reference to later Z where he becomes one and starts a family, this is his main thing in the sequel as well, Dragon Ball Super.
Lol, I think i only just noticed Daft Punk - Robot Rock playing on the radio in the car, near the beginning, after Bulma says "i miss country"
I love how it all comes full circle with Gohan's training. Even the "maybe I can build a raft!" Lol
So I don't think it ever really is mentioned in the official show or the abridged version itself, but, you wanna know what makes Trunks's timeline REALLY dark?
The fact that everything that happens in this special, From Goku's heart virus results, to The Z Warriors being murdered one by one, to most if not all the towns being in ruins from the Androids, to everything Trunks had went through, to Gohan's death, etc.
ALL OF THIS was in fact part of the ORIGINAL TIMELINE of DBZ.
Everything that happened during the Saiyan Saga and Frieza saga leading up to this, was all a part of the original first timeline.
Once Trunks travelled back in time and once we saw him officially on the show, the main timeline switched from the original, to an alternate universe one since Trunks's interference changed certain events that would lead to the Androids causing destruction thus why Bulma mentioned Multiverse theory.
So just think, if Trunks never went back in time, the Dragonball series originally would've concluded in a much more depressing note.
Im always gonna watch this, you guys have some of the best reactions, definitely gets a laugh outta me, stay safe you two and happy holidays
9:40
You know that's a whole batch of innuendo I never got until now. Tfs can be so Raunchy.
I am also in awe about how they did the park ranger thing before super
The park ranger lines comes from an interview Toriyama did.
@@The_One_In_Black Which then later became canonical. lol
@@gamerbear84 Was actually already canon in his easter egg appearance in the end of Buu Saga. The anime even added him pointing his shotgun at two poachers, the interview only confirmed that.
@@Mari_Izu Oh that's right. Read the manga, so that bit wasn't in yet, but you right.
One of the greatest aspects of s3 and this movie in particular is their ability to weave their wonderful brand of comedy in with surprisingly accurate story telling.
"The Story of Trunks" is dark and terrifying, and despite the very very limited training Trunks received in actuality, he still became incredibly strong.
He's a half-saiyan who has grown up on the edge of life and death, he has no capacity for mercy towards anyone who threaten the things he holds dear.
This isn't just about Trunks' future, it's also the future where Gohan never makes peace w/ his father. (Goku)
Remember when Vegeta found out Gohan stole the Namekian Dragon Ball he dropped into a lake back in the Frieza saga? Then he started screaming so hard everyone heard him?
Therr is a part in that scene where the scream reaches Earth in the future and we see Trunks saying "Daddy?"
You can actually hear Vegeta scream in that exact same scene in this episode (17:20).
I think that was an amazing deatail throwback.
My favorite DBZ movie so much so that my friend gifted me the VHS for my birthday years ago. I still have it.
Best DBZA special! I really love the dailogues from every character in it, especially from Gohan and the Androids--Oops I mean Cyborgs! 🤣
Given that Toriyama has FINALLY allowed Gohan and Trunks to age up, this one hits a little different now.
Awesome im glad y’all enjoying it
USS M´DIC* ... that's exactly what i would call my submarine in the post-apocalypse 🤣
Nahh skipping that gohan's death reaction was just wrong man,we really wanted to see that😭
The scene used music from Dr. Who, so they cut the footage of their reaction to avoid copyright.
@@wingedbluj1674 they could've just cut the audio for it. :(
Yeah. Was the main thing I wanted to see their reaction to!
@@wingedbluj1674 Honestly, I don't think even TFS's original video got copyright stricken due to that being played either.
So chances are, they probably could've gotten away with that.
So if you remember Trunks says Yamcha deleted himself after finding out about Bulma being pregnant with Trunks and if you notice at the start they edited Yamcha out of the scenes
Never seen the abridged version of DBZ and it’s super funny. Watching it with you guys makes it 100x better. Also since I didn’t see you react to it, the end credits scene was a Doctor who opening theme song which was a cover or remixed and was funny to me.
You might have missed it, but remember back in the Namek saga when Vegeta got so pissed, his scream echoed ridiculously? 😄
Well, now you have a better understanding of Trunks, and his Bad Future. Even with TFS’ weird humor, this is probably the hardest DBZA episode to watch. SO many feels. 😭
Also its muted down quite a bit but if you remember back in episode 18 when Vegeta's "rage broke" and they could hear it 20 years later they put that back in to keep the continuity.
You can hear the Vegeta’s scream from Namek 😂
24:30 It's funny you say Bulma isn't even a secondary character, because she IS the main female character in the series, and probably the most important character in the series in terms of plot advancement. She was the one who found Goku in the woods as a kid, and took him with her on the very first quest to find the Dragonballs.
Gohan sounds like Superman.
MAN, what a devastating movie. i think i get emotional over it pretty much every time i watch; scott frerichs and zach holsman's performances as trunks and adult gohan respectively are just heart-wrenchingly tragic. can't give them enough credit for playing the scene where trunks finds gohan completely straight, no jokes to cut the tension.
also i LOVED your reactions to seeing gohan as an adult! seeing gohan grow over the course of the series is probably one of the most rewarding aspects of both DBZ and TFS's version. and absolutely agree, bulma is a fantastic character when she gets a chance to shine. you see more of her in the original dragon ball series (before Z) where she's almost the secondary protagonist for a while, but whenever she gets the spotlight, she's fantastic. only woman in the world strong enough to put with with vegeta AND raise trunks on her own in an apocalyptic timeline.
oh and she made a FREAKING TIME MACHINE THAT WORKS???? candidate for best 'genius inventor' type character in anime. loved the video, hope you have a lovely day and enjoy what's to come
I don't know if you guys don't know, but the credits was a doctor who reference
Yeah Bulma in OG Drqgonball was the secondary Protagonist, so its nice they gave her more focus.
"I'll be a park ranger"
Everyone back in the day: "Ha Ha good one."
Today when you get the full picture: .... "Well." 😛
All they did was grab it from an interview with Toriyama though
Funny point: when they were doing the "everyday life continued even as the cyborgs were destroying city after city" thing and showed a bunch of citizens ignorant to the danger and the morning zoo radio stuff, they thought they were being satirical. Then Covid happened
Team Four Star was on to something with Gohan using the Specual Beam Cannon. Who knew that would happen in the future
Cool, I dont know this special yet, something new yaaaaaaaay!
Gohan at anytime someone tells him that he's just like Goku:
"In what regard??" 👀👀👀
The story of trunks is really sad in general but also one of the best moments when it comes to dragon ball.
Happy Sunday everyone. I don't feel the best today but this certainly helps.
Definitely recommend checking out the original History of Trunks special. It’s really good
The whole special in the real show has a real different feel to it than the rest of the series. Its one of the darker sections of the show.
Can't wait for litteraly every episode comming.
I just noticed that Future piccolo can say makankosappo correctly
That's the first clue that he's a hallucination.
@@The_One_In_Black or could be a time line difference like with cyborg vs Android
When trunks and Bulma are talking you can hear Vegeta’s scream in the background. It’s when ghost Nappa told him that gohan took the dragon Ball. It’s the scene where Bulma said she tried to replace him.
Fun fact Android 17 DOES in fact become a park ranger in the DB Super series
Chi chi is suffering the negative repercussions of being a tiger mom
I love all the doctor who music running through the whole episode. Hope they react to that one day too. They would love it.
Im suprised you guys didn't notice vegeta's scream at 17:09 which is perfectly timed.
Watching this episode back while rewatching doctor who (on series 4 of newWHO) I'm genuinely surprised I didnt notice the sheer amount of the shows ost they used for this special I only remembeed doomsday being used
Also worth noting so you don't miss anything, about this time pay attention if there is anything after credits, because around this time, especially near the end they started to put things in at the ends.
This video was too early! But so good to see that you enjoyed it.
17:18 did ya notice vegeta’s scream from the namek arc when he realized gohan took the dragonball?
Easy to miss easter egg: you can hear Vegeta's scream on Namek at the introduction of the time machine
17:16 Notice Veget's scream from Namek in the background.
The original gohan vs androids final fight is so good and emotional, hope yall react to it after this!
Really feel like bulma could've made a prosthetic 😅
It is interesting that you guys can learn more about Bulma since in the original DragonBall with kid Goku, the 1st character he meets that starts his journey is Bulma. Bulma was definitely a lot more important back in the day before she got relegated to this side role.
21:58 Oh snaps, I forgot they used the theme from Doctor Who! Awesome! 💪
A few people in the comments: aww fuck I can't believe you done this.
U guys missed the end. An extra scene where she basically bangs Gohan.
It wasn't in this. That's an extra since it's a deleted scene
The creator of DBZ based the the saga off the terminator series Trunks being John Connor and Android 16 is pretty much the terminator there is a episode where we see 16's metal skeleton and when you see it tell me just by looking at it you'll see the similarity
I'm only mildly sad you didn't notice the callback to vegeta screaming into the future
At the end of the video of the history of trunks, I like the Doctor who reference.
Oooooh....this is gonna be a tough watch for you guys being such big Gohan fans.
The biggest clue that Piccolo was just in Gohan's head was Piccolo pronounced Makankosappo without flubbing it repeatedly.
And Vegeta's scream in the background was a perfect brick joke.
The reason for the Monty Oum tribute was because they got him to play adult Gohan but he tragically died shortly before they could record the lines
Haha I love you guys
Not going to lie the real history of trunks movie almost made me cry when I was a kid
Another youtube channel called RobotUnderdog2 made a live action adaptation of future Trunks's story that's actually pretty decent. It's called Dragon Ball Z - Light of Hope. The whole thing covers more of Trunks's story than you have seen at this point, but the pilot is spoiler free (and only about 10 min long). Oh, just be aware - it's meant to be serious, so it doesn't have DBZA's humor.
What I've always found interesting with the "Androids" (cyborgs, really) is that you've a character like Frieza who has ruled the entire known Galaxy, and only the fulfilment of an ancient legend was able to finally end his reign, and yet some insane genius on Earth is able to take ordinary humans and turn them into these powerhouses that not only kick around Super Saiyans, but does so with little to no trouble. It's one thing with a certain character that'll be introduced later due to how he was made, but those two were just mere humans that became part machine, part human.
I don't know why, but this has always intrigued me. It makes me wonder just how powerful someone like Goku could potentially become if he too became a cyborg.
25:54 min. Very good point there Ken ☝.
Like Goku once said: "Being a Super Saiyan is not enough..."
this is in my opinion where the best part of the story begins from, and that part lasts from this episode all the way to the finale
Dbz is usually split into 3(4 if you count gt). Dragon ball, z and super, but in the og dragon ball, Bulma was actually the main character alongside Goku, and the person that started the whole journey to begin with.
7:27 Yikes! 😂
24:00 I agree. As someone who originally grew up watching the original dragon ball, it was kinda disappointing to see how all the original cast of characters where pretty much left in the back burner in dragon ball z.
In dragon ball z, unless it’s a saiyan or the main villain, the character is pretty much robbed of screen-time.
