    So, I hope you two get a laugh from this. For my friends I ran a Christmas D&D one shot. It was just Christmas Tree of Might. None of my friends have ever watched DBZA. I reskinned some D&D monsters to use as the villains, but I kept all the names (except Turles, named him Straggele, which is a European christmas monster that eats kids unless the parents would bribe them with fruit, so that worked). I also kept their motivations the same, and the reasons they are on the naughty list. I also named the innkeeper "Kouri Lilbo" to give a nod to Little Kuriboh.
    Slay and Jinga showed up at the inn to keep everyone inside and were the first fight. I changed the firetruck to a horse carriage, and cancer to a curse, just to have it fit the setting a bit more.
    Beru and S.N.O.W.Man were outside lighting the forest on fire and were the second fight. I kept Jinga and Beru as ex-elves who made S.N.O.W.Man. It was pretty funny having a few of the PCs not believe in Santa, but everything about Jinga and Beru fit them being Christmas elves.
    Karyl was with Straggele (Turles) at the Christmas Tree Of Might. I even kept the "But most of all, I hate Santa Claus" speech, and his origin be because where he lived kept shooting at Santa Claus (with balistas) to keep him away. One major difference is when they found out what Karyl did to, instead of giving a "Dibs on not fighting that guy." reaction, they locked down Straggele/ Turles, and just bullied circled Karyl.
    Overall they absolutely loved it! It was super well. I can't wait until next year when they have to stop the Plan To Eradicate Christmas.

      DBZ: Tree of Might was released in 1990 in Japan and DBZ became part of Toonami (Cartoon Network) in 1998 and that was Funimation pushing anime into the mainstream. What I find ironic is that Japan regularly publishes doujins of anime material and the US allows parodies under fair use which is part of free speech. Japan's manga industry usually finds talent in the doujin market, and influencers on youtube are hired by the entertainment industry.

      Tomar didn't voice Carmine in Dragon Ball Super Hero. Carmine's voiced by Jason Marnocha, aka Abridged Dr. Wheelo, Nanba from Megalobox, Katana Man from Chainsaw Man, etc. Tomar is actually abridged Dr. Kochin. He never voiced in official dragon ball media.

    2:27 It didn’t help that you have two characters who to a new person would look like Goku in addition to Goku himself being there, and then you don’t see Turles in anything Dragon Ball outside of video game related things.
    7:50 It was only really this movie where he’s inexplicably evil. Garlic Jr., he was just granting a wish with no strings attached. World’s Strongest, he was actually trying to suggest better alternatives to Kochin but got fed up with Kochin’s inanities. Lord Slug, again, just granting a wish though maybe he also didn’t want to get blown up by a King Piccolo-esque.
    12:27 It just dawned on me that this is the only thing TFS where Vegeta’s Yamcha interacts with Goku.

  • @MoostachedSaiyanPrince
    @MoostachedSaiyanPrince Před rokem +38

    I feel for Lani and how he got introduced to DBZ, because my experience was probably just as bad. My introduction to DBZ was with Dragon Ball Z Budakai 2. The one where you play the story with what's essentially a digital board game, great game, but AWFUL way to learn about the series. After that, I randomly saw the episode of DBZ where Gohan turns Super Saiyan 2 during the Cell Games with no context at a friend's house. Then after that, I played Dragon Ball Z Sagas with another friend that knew even less about DBZ than I did.
    Edit: Side note, I always misremember the final joke of this movie. I always think that the joke about Shenron getting a restraining order is gonna be followed by the "due to it being non-canon, he was not allowed to keep it" joke.

(You can imagine how confused the GT episodes made me.) Also had all three Broly movies on DVD. (At some point I watched Lord Slug, don’t know where from though.)

I pulled out the first issue and right away was pretty confused that I had to read it backwards. But I was hooked right away, so whenever I slept at his place, I continued where I had left off.

I caught it near the beginning of the Namek saga. The Rock the Dragon intro was so hype, thats the reason why I watched really. Then got to love the characters. First favourites were Gohan/Krillin, then Piccolo and Vegeta. I never really grew to love Goku the way others did. The first time I really loved Goku was when Dragon Ball finally aired in the UK.
