Dragon Ball Z Abridged/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The sheer audacity Vegeta had to stay in Freeza's ship, search for the Dragon Balls and throw them away before leaving.

** And than he left a note

** Followed by Gohan having the same audacity to ''steal a Dragon Ball from Vegeta right as he stole one from Krillin and Bulma.'' The realization of this leads to the below.

* The scream from Episode 18, so powerful it went through time and space.

'''Krillin''': I ''feel'' that. }}

* Vegeta effortlessly dispatching Zarbon in episode 17 after all the grief he put him through.

'''Vegeta:''' ''"What was that? I couldn't hear you over [[Single-Stroke Battle|that hole I made in your stomach.]]"'' }}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zsZLN3Xjhc#t=9m50s Goku leaving his spaceship and enter Namek... to the tune of] [[Hulk Hogan|I Am A Real American!!!!]]

* After an entire episode of the Ginyu Force destroying Team Three Star, Goku appears and decimates each of them in a few seconds.

** More specifically, ''Goku Time.''

* The Touch. Applied to Bardock.

* KILLING CRABS! IN THE '''OCEAN!!''' KILL IT FAST, '''PAIN EXPLOSION!!!'''

* Make a Man Out of You. Showcases some great singing skills, as well as some funny moments.

* A more low key example: Krillin getting Bulma, after all her frustration and anger at getting left behind on Namek, to calm down and give them to Dragon Radar simply by calmly talking to her.

'''Krillin''': Okay, Bulma, let's just calm down. Why are you upset?<br />

'''Bulma''': Why? Because I am always alone.<br />

'''Bulma''': ....just take the f{{[[[Sound Effect Bleep]] bleep}}]ing radar. }}

* Vegeta Vs Jeice was even better then the actual version in the show. Not only is Vegeta more badass, but he's darkly funny as well.

'''Jeice''': Okay. Warrior race, full moon, lose your tail, stronger every time you almost--[[Oh Crap|Oh, well I'm right proper f***ed aren't I?]]<br />

'''Vegeta''': [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Right in the down under.]] (Teleport boot to the face, chop to the ribs, and Jeice opens his eyes just in time to see Vegeta about to blast him point blank.)<br />

'''Jeice''': [[Jurassic Park|Clever girl...]] (KABOOM) }}

* [[Hero-Killer|Freeza's]] genuinely chilling entrance at the end of Episode 24:

'''Freeza''': [[Affably Evil|Oh no, don't mind me.]] [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|By all means;]] ''[[Nightmare Fuel|give me some ideas.]]'' }}

** This troper had to channel the power of god to stop himself from [[Bring My Brown Pants|ruining his underwear]] at the delivery of that line.

*** Also doubles as a CMOA for Little Kuriboh, too, as he demonstrated just how good his voice acting chops have become with that '''excellent''' delivery. He could DEFINITELY do some professional work in the future...

** Earlier in the episode, there's his [[Badass Boast]] to Nail.

'''Freeza''': ''"Funny, because I expect to hear the same from the next person when I ask them about Namek."'' }}

* Nail laughing right in Freeza's face after he just got curbstomped by him. It takes serious hutzpah to do that.

* This [[Call Back]] is an awesome moment for Gohan in my opinion:

'''Gohan''': ...'''Yes.''' }}

* YMMV on this but Super Kami Guru's crowning moment of jerkassry through forcing himself to die when Vegeta is about to make his immortality wish, thus disabling the [[Dragon Balls]], is awesome in a weird way especially when you consider he is literally sacrificing himself in order to be the biggest dick in the universe, and (unknowingly) preventing Vegeta from gaining immortality.

*** And even gets a [[Badass Boast]] out of it. "Go ahead and mock me, Freeza. But I'm not afraid of you. So why don't you doll yourself and get ready for a night on the town, because I'm about to take you to a ballroom blitz!"

** Gohan gets pissed all to hell and lays an epic smackdown on Freeza after Freeza impales Krillin.

** And Krillin has himself a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment when Freeza's about to crush Gohan, throwing a Destructo Disk that slices off Freeza's tail.

*** That part was more awesome than in the actual series! (This seems to be a trend throughout the entire series)

'''Krillin:''' *flying off* "SUCK MY DIIIIIIICK!!!" }}

** Also, Piccolo [[One-Hit Kill|OHKOing]] Freeza before he finished a sadistic joke.

*** Made better by his entrance to [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Magus' battle theme]] from ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''.

'''Piccolo''':"Just one." }}

* Another from 25, a [[Call Back]] to episode 18, this time demonstrating just how powerful Freeza is.

'''Krillin''': I ''taste'' that! }}

* Freeza, also in episode 25, single-handedly [[Brick Joke|brought the "Krilled Owned Count"]] all the way up to 25, for 11 Ownings at once.

** Which is itself another one. This series can have the villain earnestly say that ''and still be a legitimate comedy.''

* The ''Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged'' episode gets a great one. See, throughout their entire run, they've either mocked or avoided the "Over Nine Thousand" meme; so it's pretty fulfilling to finally hear Lanipator yell that line out in his best Chris Sabat impersonation.

* Gohan [[Calling the Old Man Out]] upon seeing it's Captain Ginyu in Goku's body.

* While ultimately useless, there's something awesome about seeing Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan firing at Freeza with all they got, complete with a Badass order from Vegeta.

* In the Lord Slug special:

** It also makes this funny, as Goku, being the [[Idiot Hero|moron]] that he is, thinks it's Christmas.

** Also from the Lord Slug special, Piccolo's [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment, set to the tune of [[Crowning Music of Awesome|"Glass Shatters"]], the entrance music of [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]]. With the glass shattering being provided by Piccolo throwing a [[Mook]] into a light.

* Piccolo channeling equal parts Bugs Bunny and his father and curbstomping one of the cliche minion characters while cracking jokes.

* Dende takes out his aggression towards no one using his proper name (and Vegeta's casual slaughter of his people). On a mortally wounded Vegeta asking him for a heal.

"Oh, I'm going to be that guy right now." }}

** "''Nobody'' f*cks with the [[The Medic|white mage]]." {{spoiler|Nobody but Freeza, anyway.}}

* Gohan pulls off another [[Badass Bookworm]] boast in episode 26:

 

'''''Episode 27'''''

* Freeza utterly [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomping]] Vegeta after a particularly egotistical [[Badass Boast]].

** I thought this part was incredible:

'''Freeza''': Au contraire, Vegeta. ''You brought this upon yourself.'' }}

* Earlier in the series, Freeza mentions keeping track of how many times he hears various [[Badass Boast|Badass Boasts]], since the Namekians are unable to come up with one he hasn't heard ''at least'' twelve times. When Goku arrives to stare down Freeza, he immediately delivers one ''Freeza's never heard before''.

* This little exchange is a CMOA for both Vegeta and Freeza:

'''Freeza''': "I know." }}

** It's a Crowning Moment for both [[VAs]], that's for sure.

* Vegeta swallows his pride and delivers a [[Badass Boast]] for Goku while fighting to stay concious.

'''Vegeta''': "He has risen above, and become a '''legend'''! The legend that you '''fear'''! He has become...A '''SUPER SAI'''--[[Killed Mid-Sentence|YAUGH]]!"<br />

'''Goku: '''"(Gasp) Vegeta!"<br />

* Freeza and Goku's banter for all of episode 28. It's equal parts hilarious and amazing that Goku is driving Freeza up a wall without even trying.

* An Episode 28 comment really summarizes what makes DBZ Abridged so great:

* Also from episode 28, Goku firing off his [[Kamehame Hadoken|Kamehameha]] at Freeza, another very well-done moment from Goku's voice actor.

** Which is immediately followed by the [[Running Gag|Kaio-What?]] gag finally getting [[Subverted Trope|subverted]]

'''Freaza:''' "I thought so."|blasts Goku-}}

** The lead-up to that gag is, even though it didn't work, really made of win in itself:

'''Goku:''' KA-ME-HA-ME-HA! }}

* The fight ITSELF between Goku and Freeza, being so awesome and intense like the original show (with much less filler to drive the point). If you're not laughing at the banter, you're enjoying the clash between titans.

'''''Episode 29'''''

* {{spoiler|King Kai}}, of all people, beats (almost) all of the Ginyu Force single-handedly ([[Missed Moment of Awesome|offscreen]]).

( {{spoiler|King Kai}} is giving a wry smile [[Gilligan Cut|then it cuts to Hell's Bloody Pond with the Blue Ogre Goz singing and lodging on a chair, and then all the Ginyu's crash land into the pond]]) }}

* Freeza calling for God himself to strike him down, then surviving the result.

* Another right near the end. Namely, Freeza [[Oh Crap|finally being serious.]]

* Piccolo getting a taunt in {{spoiler|before stalling Frieza to buy time for Goku. He was going to get wailed on either way, so why not make the most of it.}}

'''Piccolo''': You mean your failure at killing me or just in general? }}

* Goku's [[Ironic Echo]] to Piccolo when asking him to buy time so he can charge the spirit bomb.

'''Piccolo:''' Did...you just hold a grudge? }}
