I can't believe that's actually real.
Oh, it is absolutely real.
I always had a crazy theory that they'd test the waters with animation by editing Nappa into the Cell Games as Mr. Satan's agent. Maybe they could give Dumplin a cameo, too?
I wonder if they'll do that movie where Nappa actually came back and was promptly killed by Vegeta.
The original character they made for their Dragon Ball Xenoverse LP.
He's a Grey Majin that's always smiling, and was given the in-game Takahata101 voice.
True but they could probably integrate that scene into Fusion Reborn.

Nappa's not dead though. He's in Hollywood.
Well it won't be up until the weekend anyway:

I love watching recorded live-showing of TFS's stuff so hopefully someone provides a tape of that too.
I still found that a weird choice at the time, since they had to redraw him in a suit for both of his cameos after that. It gives me hope that he actually will be Mr. Satan's agents during the Cell games, though!
I mean, they already said they had the Cell games drafted by the time they showed that scene, and movie producer seemed like a weird career choice when they could've picked literally anything else that'd keep Nappa far away from the Z Fighters. Animating him in as a regular character is a pipedream of mine, but they can have him take a call from Nappa before a fight, or Vegeta commenting on Nappa's choice of clients, or something. It's all I'd need.
I don't know how I keep missing this thread, especially with some of the discussion on Abridged's direction when new episodes drop. After marathoning the older episodes through where we are currently, it's so crazy seeing how much more has been done with everything versus where they started. Even crazier still is how the series has seemingly moved into the realm of being a "catch all alt dub" as someone mentioned before without going crazy about details or exposition. They way they just slyly slip in some phrase or line in between everything leading to a Easter egg hunt for me is great. I still remember Trunks finding the android/cyborg's names on the design document and going "this is a setup for some big joke right" only to briefly google it and find out that they were actually named prior to their modifications.
I'm actually a tenor with musical theatre & voice acting training. ;-)
The reveal of 17 & 18's true names was actually really recent. Japan re-released the Dragon Ball manga in color (not very good color but that's besides the point). One of the features was a Q&A section where Toriyama revealed their names were Lapis and Lazuli, and that 16 was designed after Gero's dead son.
You have to give the writing team props for the research and for being current. Like that "I was having a Ninja dream, but it ended" line.
As others have said, they were likely sitting on the voice recordings & script, so editing was all that needed to be done.

More likely them setting up Cell surviving his own self-destruction.
And getting blown apart by both Vegeta and Goku. Cell is pretty durable.

I'm starting to love how Goku is becoming self aware about how much the plot favors him

Was there something up with Gohan's voice? The first few times he talks he sound much lower and then the high pitch kind of kicks back in. I thought it was a different person for just a minute.
Good stuff as usual.
And yeah, Taka's vocal range is incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if gets a lot more professional roles (I have heard Lani is getting them)
I wonder if they're trying to emulate that he's going through puberty. He is around that age.

Goku on a roll this episode.
Episode 48 is up boys and girls.
I always felt like his current voice wasn't right for post-hyperbolic time chamber Gohan. I kinda hope there's a ball dropping joke in there once he hits super saiyan.

Goku's line is actually pretty funny when you consider that, if he didn't have any kind of boost after recovering from the illness (and he shouldn't have), then at this particular point he's actually weaker than Trunks, Vegeta, Cell, Android 16, Android 18, and Piccolo.

I'm reminded how Toriyama did Trunks and Vegeta dirty by having Goku achieve their ascended forms super casually, just so Goku could explain how useless they were.
