Looking forward to next Abridged episode when 16's heartfelt message to Gohan is about how he needs to kill Son Goku

Everything changes, Pit.

My 10 year old sister(I'm like 20 years older than her) watched DBZ Kai with me up through the Androids stuff and loved it. She likes that people die and villains get permanently defeated, since cartoons she watches don't usually let that happen. Frieza is her favorite character and she dug RoF when we saw it in a theater together

Need to finish the series with her now that Buu Kai stuff is finally out. She's hype for seeing some fusions because she loves Steven Universe.

Well it seems safe to say between 9000 and 9999, otherwise Vegeta would have said it was over 10,000.

"Majin Buu has absorbed Piccolo and Vegito, leaving only Gohan to defend the Earth. Buu, gathering his power as he laughs (since he's fighting Gohan), begins to aim a Kamehamecannon right at Gohan's big exposed forehead. Seriously, that haircut. Among the calculations, help Buu defeat Gohan by first tracking the velocity necessary for the blast to hit him. Find the value of x for the velocity and height angle so Gohan can job once again."

"Next lesson will be calculating the time left per fusion based on factors of power used and stunts pulled to waste precious seconds."

Technically, at the very least it'd be over 36,000 after the x4.

I didn't really watch DBZ back in the day and only started watching it because my kid (4yo at the time) saw an episode somewhere and decided he needed more Krillin. but he can't stomach the pacing of the show so he mostly just watches Krillin blow up saibamen over and over.

someone's special attack makes two random people switch places. hit and yamcha swap out

when they all return, it turns out puar left with hit for u6, leaving yamcha totally alone

There is a decent lesson in ratios and conversion in figuring out exactly how many aired episodes of Dragon ball minutes compose a single story minute during Frieza's six minute countdown.

I know the joke wouldn't work as well but I always read the "two more minutes" line as being an indicator that they actually fought for seven minutes.

I like the TFS interpretation that Freeza just hosed up and grossly miscalculated how long it would take for Namek to blow up.

When I was a kid I thought Goku and Frieza were just SO FAST that in reality it only was just five minutes, but that it had to be slowed down just for us mere mortals to even comprehend it.

Hit was on Namek and he used his time powers to dilate that 5 minutes into 2 hours.

Even though Freeza is very experienced in blowing up planets, I'm pretty sure that even he probably doesn't have a good idea precisely how long it's going to take a planet to explode when he drops a death ball into it.

Delayed planet destruction is not a precise science!
