the last sex joke redraw i remember is Dende giving Gohan bedroom eyes

i mostly remember because having one nine year old keep talking about how he wants to bang another nine year old was a weird loving choice to make

The thing is I like a lot of what abridged does. Their interpretation of a lot of characters is spot on and ill generally find something in an episode that's funny, it's just that I feel that its weaker as of late, and part of that for me is the gratuitous sex jokes that have been rather ubiquitous since world's strongest

The tfs redraws look like poo poo and only exist so they can make yet another sex joke in lieu of comedy

Okay. You either made this up or are being pretty dumb. TFS literally puts out videos going over the adjustments, edits and changes they make to the series and the do redraws for a ton of purposes including jokes (sex and otherwise), trying to make up for the fact they have to take artwork from multiple places, adjusting lipflap, changing timing, and so-on.

I'm at this bit at the start of the Androids saga where they have a flashback to Dragon Ball and Master Roshi explains what the Red Ribbon Army were, and I was pretty surprised that they're using the version of the script where "General" Tao is apparently the "mastermind behind the Red Ribbon Army" who wanted to rule the world. I didn't think that was a Funimation thing, but then again, they kept in the stuff about Chiaotzu being a "young emperor" (like in Mystical Adventure) back when he was wished back, so whatever. I thought that was Ocean Group. :shrug:

Edit: Also suggesting that Commander Red was Dr Gero, from what I can tell?

It's a strange choice. Not sure if it's as strange as Bardock being a great scientist or Goku assuming Vegeta was the one who squashed his grandfather, but still strange.

I still can't think of him as anything other than General Tao. It was really strange when they just called him Mercenary Tao in Dragonball, but it just didn't stick with me.

Also I could stand the sex jokes if it didn't take up half the episode like the latest one with Chi Chi. It wasn't that funny to begin with, but it just seemed like they were out of material this time,

Nah Beerus is exactly like Vegeta, even copying the weird thing were he is a massive rear end in a top hat monster that the main cast kind of ignores.

Beerus needs to get laid.(and then have a kid, gently caress off to Space for a while and become a Super God, come back .... )

Also Beerus is anime Galactus , he's not evil just a cosmic gear in the metaphysics of the universe. Is Goku evil for eating meat?

I think they do a good job with some but yeah a lot are, especially the really significant ones. (And they did a remarkably lovely job with World's Strongest in general, much worse than anything before or after.)

I'm just mostly confused at the claim they only exist for sex jokes which like... even lovely stuff like random Nappa edits or the Android 16/Gero's Son flashback video disprove that.

Namtab has pointed out the Chichi substory as being uncomfortable, which it absolutely is when you think about it, and someone else rightfully pointed out the Dende poo poo being cranked to 100, which is also noticeably awkward. Nobody has made poo poo up, and y'all dogpiling is making this whole argument really sad. I wouldn't agree that DBZA has been weaker as of late, but I would agree they're dipping their toes in creepy ponds lately. It's frustrating to me that they had the sense to cut the future gohan/bulma gag in the future trunks short, yet never stopped to think the Dende stuff was a little too much.


In any case, still enjoying the product, but there have been some tiny missteps here and there.

Concidering how many random animals turn out to be intelligent and able to talk on Dragonball Earth, yes Goku is likely evil for eating meat.

...What's creepy about the Dende jokes? I don't even think they're amazingly funny, but all they are is Dende awkwardly coming onto an oblivious Gohan. It's not like there's any dubious notions of consent or anything like that going on like there was with Chi-Chi and Goku before they walked it back in the next episode.

Yeah, I'm here thinking the same thing. Is it because they're gay? I'm asking this frankly, because the worst thing I can see people taking from it is a gay panic joke, but it's more "thirsty teen comes on to oblivious teen".

To me, it's just not very well written or delivered. There's not a lot to it. Sometimes jokes need more time in the oven and don't get it. Next time he appears he might come out with the most hilarious poo poo.

They're characterized as teenagers, and the younger one is the one that doesn't get it. But sure, I suppose it could be the age thing.

This is probably going to apply mostly to me, but the is the reason the chichi and goku sex jokes got to me is basically because in my role as a learning disability nurse I've had to research the law on mental capacity tests around consent to sex, which in the uk is a simple test wherein the person must know the mechanics of the act, that the act can make you get stds and that vaginal intercourse can get women pregnant. If you don't pass the bits relevant to the sex act then you legally lack the capacity to consent to sex as an adult.

So first of all the show makes a lot of uncomfortable rape jokes which they eventually walk back a bit on by saying that goku is fine with it all, but then they reach the end of the goten episode (which dragged on the subject way too long) and goku explicitly only finds out when chichi gets pregnant that sex makes you pregnant.....yeah.



Intellectually I know it's not really relevant, but it's very uncomfortable

Teen Gohan is only like 12.

No idea how Namekian age works though, pretty sure Piccolo went from a child to a full grown adult in like a year or 2. Also I'm pretty sure they don't have dicks.

This is all fair as a complaint. It does get a bit too uncomfortable to me too, although not enough that it drives me off DBZA since it's more of a brick joke. When DBS did that "Goku never kissed Chichi" the whole DBZA background made that land SUPER weird too, hehe.
