Even that case isn't a true death, since he does it without malice at the end, thanks him for the fight and makes a request to the God of the dead to allow him be reborn.
That's what I said. He was far more hotheaded as a kid and by Z he doesn't kill anyone.
Since he never had to kill Frieza and Kold, we can still accurately say he never killed anyone. In fact, I'd even wager he'd find a way to dispose of them non lethally, though he'd probably be forced to in the end.
Knowing Toriyama, he'd probably have Goku trash Freeza's mecha body, tell him to leave Earth, and then Vegeta would swoop in for the kill. Then Kold would be forced away from the planet (he's slightly smarter than Freiza at times) and retreat to fight another day.

I'm not gonna lie. I still kind of cringe whenever I see it abreviated "SSJ." You irredeemable weeaboos and your Japanese honorifics.

That's how I'd say it in Spanish, so SSJ it is for me.

Sūpā Saiya-jin
The weeaboos pushed SSJ, SSJ2, etc, because Sūpā Saiya-jin was important enough to insist on, but not important enough to type.

Yea nappa was my favourite character as well. I love it when he becomes ghost nappa and begins to haunt Vegeta as he's flying in space. Also the way the portrayed Mr. Popo scares me, he's so....terrifying. And the guy that voices Goku is just amazing, he just really sounds confused, stupid, and oblivious amazing series in my opinion.
dbz abridged doesn't really get going until episode 5. it's not so shaky at that point.
i think if you wanted to get people who don't care about dbz into the abridged series (because the story holds up really well and it's pretty funny), then maybe the dbz kai abridged + starting at episode 11 works too.

Nah because than you'll mis one of the best jokes they ever did.
This is Vegeta and he was a prison bitch
I think the reason people insisted on the original names for a while is because for the people who were into DBZ before it came on US TV, that's just what they called those things. I try to put myself in that position, and I would probably be bothered too about name changes and stuff.
But the thing is, all these years, "SS" is actually correct because "-jin" is not another word, just a suffix.

I use SS and SSJ interchangeably. Never really thought too much about it.

Pretty much. Kids these days don't remember when DBZ ending when Goku reached Namek, and heavily edited up until that point (Tien's arm will grow back wtf?). Dubious bootleg subtitles were the only way to see the series or movies.
I'm not even sure how some of the name are 'officially' spelled. I've seen Vegita, Vegeta, Bejita, Vegeeta, and more.
Why not? It's incredibly important!

Not actually understanding Japanese and what a translation is are some of the things that makes their insistence on using it funny.
At ConnectiCon, Lanipator, Takahata101, Antfish and Doug "The Nostalgia Critic" Walker held a panel where they read excerpts of Fifty Shades of Grey using various voices. Hear the likes of Nappa, Krillin, Dio Brando, Chester A. Bum and many more read inexplicably published Twilight fan-fiction.

Nicholas Cage was also spot on. XD
wow the guy that is Nappa is a surprise...... and not a good one
Anyone who actually says "kaioken" instead of "realm king fist" is a disgusting weeaboo who should just kill himself already.
King Korudo and Bejiita disagree with you.
I always wondered if it was Realm King Fist or World King Fist?Anyone who actually says "kaioken" instead of "realm king fist" is a disgusting weeaboo who should just kill himself already.
Either work, really.
At any rate, some of the anti-weeaboo talk has become brazenly hypocritical and is really less about language or understandability and more about looking cool. Things have names and it's not really the height of nerddom to refer to them as such, unless you also roll your eyes at stuff like "Tour de France". Moreover, when it comes to acronyms in English there aren't any rigid rules, because the resultIng acronym is what's important and words get included or skipped accordingly. "SSJ" is less ambiguous than something like "SS" which can mean many things including Nazis, while being equally valid.

I will say, Light of Death sounds a hundred times cooler than Special Beam Cannon.
When it comes to generic nouns, you definitely need a pretty good reason to leave something untranslated. Not that it's out of the question, because English is a promiscuous language to begin with, but when there's already a word that works perfectly fine you should really just use that word. Proper nouns are a different subject.
please tell me this isn't real

lol at the Popo cosplayer at the TFS Connecticon panel:

Also, from that panel it sounds like the voice who did Dodoria and Ginyu will be doing Android 17 and Mr. Satan/Hercule in the Cell saga.

It's God, not Kami. Gosh.
I always used SSJ because it was everywhere when I was a kid (mostly Japanese DBZ merchandise with romanized terms), and I always associated "SS" with boats. I guess it's technically correct... but Goku ain't a boat son.

I type out SSJ because SS just looks "naked".
Well that and because that's how I saw it spelled everywhere on the internet back then and it just stuck it with me.

I got my brother into the series since he was also nostalgic for DBZ like I was. The jump in the quality of writing when they get to the Namek saga is just insane.
the quality overall is a lot better. i love the music and sound effects they use, and i hate that we got the shitty falconer guy. the overdramatic music was pretty awesome.
but i'm going back and seeing new stuff. like when goku says, 'imma deck you in the schnoz!' and frieza drops vegeta and says, 'im sorry... that's a new one,' i hadn't connected it to how frieza counts off phrases he's heard many times before until i rewatched it. good stuff.

I just made that connection the other day.
And yes, this series jumps dramatically once they hit Namek. Go back and watch the first 5 or so episodes. For every good joke there's at least one cringer. Episode... I want to say 3 or 4... is probably the only just plain bad episode of DBZA because it relies on that bane of Internet comedy: "'Wacky' voices and repeating shit makes things funny!"
EDIT: Oh and someone says something strange and the response is someone else saying "Oooooooooookaaaaaaaaaay" like they're confused! that's funny right guys
