I honestly prefer TFS's Vegeta too because even though it's the same ridiculous gargling-glass raspy voice, it sounds better during casual conversation. Sabat' casual Vegeta in Kai sounds like Piccolo with a cold, though it got better in Super.

Sabat's Vegeta is pretty weak, though. I'm struggling to think of an instance where he really blew me away. I think maybe Final Flash against Cell, but it was a culmination of a bunch of things (including the score...) that sells it. He doesn't really do very good "HNNNnnnGG" power-up stuff, either, which makes him sound kind of anemic compared to the rest of the cast which will loving YELL.
I liked his work in the Buu saga quite a bit, but i'll actually agree that the FTS and sub version work better.
He is by no means bad at it though, he's a good VA imo; just not my favourite take.

He's an awesome VA. I wonder if Vegeta is too high/raspy to do comfortably because he naturally has a really deep voice, like Piccolo's range (which would make sense because his Piccolo is perfect). The TFS guy's voice is not as deep so he can probably do the Vegeta thing more comfortably.

Much respect to all Vegeta actors, though. Try talking in a high pitched (for your range) raspy voice for an extended amount of time. Try screaming in it. Imagine having to do that for hours, through multiple takes. I think 80s metal bands still touring have less stress on their vocal cords than that.

I lie Sabat quite a lot and his Super stuff has been better, but honestly TFS' take on Final Flash is probably better.

It kind of shocks me how for a dumb joke fan project started by some nerds in their houses a zillion years ago, TFS's take on a lot of the characters is generally really good, even in "serious" parts.

Frieza's voice actor Chris Ayres has end stage emphysema and COPD :( he's probably not gonna ever be able to return to work as a VA, but honestly I hope the poor guy makes it in general.

You might want to link the picture instead of embedding it though. There's maybe one or two people left trying to stay pure. If I was afraid of spoilers myself I would have run out of this thread a long time ago.

Poor Vegeta though. He's never going to get a first is he? Even Gohan got to go SSJ2, even if he got benched for most of the show anyway. All Vegeta got was muscle form and that was the wrong path to take anyway

Watch as Vegeta gets SSJ4. Which looks nothing like GT's SSJ4, and is way stronger.

I really enjoyed that episode, as creepy as Roshi can be I still love the highlights of his character, how much he embraces being an old kung-fu master and the love for his students. As much as Goku can be a dumb punching mans idiot, he still really cares for those around him and his innocent nature at the end of the episode was great.

Show owns so hard.


What I find really weird about the DB fanbase are the groups of people who insist that certain characters need to die for the show to be good or for them to like it. It seems really macabre. The thing I love most about the show is how everyone gets along in their own weird little ways and their reverence for life itself, be it food, adventure, punching mans or being a creep.

As for the next episode;



lol at the rock fort.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I think they both got it at the same time. I remember a scene with him and goku punching fists together when they were training with whis and the screen flashing blue, that's probably when they both realized they could do blue. Vegeta had to catch up to goku in the first place when he was just there by himself.

The part in season 1 of Dragon Ball where Emperor Pilaf has Bulma restrained is a flawless execution of exactly the joke they ought to be making with Roshi but never actually do. I really hope the dub does something to fix the grosser scenes because otherwise the way Super has dealt with Roshi has been superb. I love that they brought the evil containment wave back into relevance. I love that his longevity is from consuming the dankest weed on earth. I love that he's shown to use all of his crafty tricks like when he fought Goku as a kid. I love that Krillin and Goku still look up to him like a father.

As things are, Roshi's one hell of a "Milkshake Duck" of a character.

I agree. Outside of his creepy vibe, Roshi is a great character who basically smokes weed and trains his students to be the best martial artists. I'm not against having perverted characters, maybe just not make it so... weird. Like, Jiraiya was a perv, but it usually was at his own expense, i.e. Tsunade beating the poo poo out of him.

The line of "he'll make me undesirable as a wife" was pretty bad, yikes. Krillin being an enabler of "he was just acting", come on man.

Edit: Everybody loves Master Roshi, earth's greatest martial artist! *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you Roshi is a pervert.

As unlikely as it is, I'm still wishing that this is a fake-out somehow and Gohan's the one getting this new power-up. It just bugs me that despite being the cause of this mess in the first place, not only is Goku being rewarded with all the fights he wants, he also a brand new power-up.

To use the midlife crisis analogy mentioned before, this is like Goku screwing things up financially for his family and friends to purchase a sports car so that he could go on a road rage. Only he's awarded with a brand new car for doing that, while the news tells everyone what he did was fine since the people he ran over were going to die of old age anyway, and isn't it cool how he sent them flying?
