It was a powerful moment for sure

Bethany and Ken

I think this is my first time tearing up to Gohan's transformation.

Nice! They aren't videos related to any of the games but I definitely recommend reacting to "The Breathtaking World Of One Piece" by Strawhat V, Super Eyepatch Wolf's videos "The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start" and "Why You Should Watch/ Read One Piece." Those are pretty spoiler free and give you different ideas on why the story is worth jumping in to.

Christopher LoBosco Jr.

That's a show we plan on checking out more in the future. We will probably do some more game stuff with One Piece to pique our interests. ๐Ÿ™‚

Bethany and Ken

Been enjoying your reactions to DBZA. Gohan's transformation is a culmination of so much in DBZ and I'm glad you are enjoying it! With some of the things you both seem to like I think One Piece would be a super good fit for another series to tackle in the future

Christopher LoBosco Jr.

Very true, I think Goku hoped that they could share a love for fighting because thatโ€™s where the majority of his personality is. He canโ€™t help Gohan with academics for obvious reasons and they donโ€™t always have time to go camping, fishing, etc.

Oh yeah, I can see that but the wig made it even more hilarious,๐Ÿคฃ I just loved it!

Coral

Yes, it was where Cell is (Giving Birth). The line "Life.. uhh, Finds a Way" is delivered by Krilling.

Vito Bambino

It has history, magic, a bit of mystery, religion, and morality as its themes. plenty of action and the right amount of censorship. im sure you guys would have a lot to say. also i think itll be your first isekei (in another world). those are really popular right now.

Joyner Lucas

Bethany never misses those. We are ashamed ๐Ÿ˜ข

Bethany and Ken

Wait, there was a JP reference that we didn't geek out over?! ๐Ÿ˜จ

Bethany and Ken

๐Ÿคฉ Super Duper Saiyan ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

Bethany and Ken

We always have fun with the cosplay reactions ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

Bethany and Ken

It's a fault of a lot of parents to assume their kids will like the same things they do. Heck even when you're not a parent you do that. That's why we have so many fights on the internet, 'You don't like what I like, therefore you are stupid' ๐Ÿ˜ But when it's family you assume even more so ๐Ÿค—

Bethany and Ken

We've had AOT requested before and it's something we want to check out but we know it's going to be a long one. That might be the show we do after Clone Wars. Hadn't heard of Tanya the Evil before though ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Bethany and Ken

And that's because they don't always go for the joke. They know when to keep it serious and just have a feel for the moment so well. ๐Ÿคฉ

Bethany and Ken

๐Ÿ˜‚

Bethany and Ken

Happy belated Easter ๐Ÿฃ

Bethany and Ken

And that's why this show was great. They understood the moments so well and changed lines not always just for humor but also for other greater emotional impact ๐Ÿ˜Š

Bethany and Ken

Thanks for the suggestion ๐Ÿ˜€

Bethany and Ken

๐Ÿ˜œ

Bethany and Ken

Couldn't get the voice haha, and the wig was a pain in the ass. Wasn't even going to attempt the voice but it just came out ๐Ÿ˜‚

Bethany and Ken

It's very cool that they did that. Some creators give hate to reactors and we get why (not saying we agree, but we get it). Other creators will allow reactions but don't check it out. TFS has stopped by one of our videos to comment and now this. It's just very cool to see them do that and give a shout out to reactors enjoying their work. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Bethany and Ken

That makes total sense that Gohan is the main character in DBZ. We're sure it was probably controversial when you said it at the time, but kind of hard to argue now after seeing this ๐Ÿ™‚

Bethany and Ken

๐Ÿค—

Bethany and Ken

It did feel like the ending in this one was how it happened in the original. Just could feel the weight of the moment. Can't believe it was a full year wait. Crazy. Would be amazing if they could do a Go Fund Me campaign and finish this series ๐Ÿคฉ

Bethany and Ken

haha, if only that were the case. ๐Ÿ˜’ Probably terrifying in a psychotic sense instead of an intimidating one ๐Ÿ˜

Bethany and Ken

๐Ÿ˜

Bethany and Ken

Haha yeah we heard Naruto is crazy long. Though we also have been told the games are a good way to check out the story ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿค”

Bethany and Ken

Happy belated Easter ๐Ÿฃ

Bethany and Ken

Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜€

Bethany and Ken

Our pleasure ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

Bethany and Ken

I'm shocked that Ken and Bethany didn't react to the Jurassic Park reference, Lol!

Vito Bambino

Gohan achieved the level super sayen 2 !

Jesus Leos

Oh...my...god. I'm here for more cosplay reactions.

Yanpo

HAHAHHAHA OMG THE VEGETA COSTUME! love this! Best intro ever

Yuri Wilde

Love the costumes guys, haha! Well now you know why Goku had so much faith in Gohan. Heโ€™s the first one to turn into a Super Saiyan 2! TFS captured this transformation excellently, no talking during the flying bird part like the US dub. Piccolo was right though, Goku understand everything leading up to this point but failed to understand Gohan. His son has been fighting since he was four, but out of necessity never enjoyment.

Luke8694

Well, the pre-Kai dubs were dubbed for American kids and teens who weren't familiar with anime lol. DB in general is a meh at best anime regardless of the version if you go back and look at it as an adult who is familiar with anime, but all I know is as a child when Gohan went SSJ2, that figuratively set my school on fire with all of the hype we had. I talk to my friends nowadays and we all remember that scene fondly, making it ICONIC. Your complaints about the pre-Kai dubs are warranted and correct, and TFS improved on 99.99% of DBZ as a whole, but that doesn't take away from how awesome the scenes were to watch as a kid for the first time. Brice Armstrong KILLED that final monologue talking about how all of Gohan's adventures have built up to that very moment, and watching it now still gives me chills.

Jeffrey Hamm

Whichever one where the narrator references a warrior 11 years in the making is the one I'm talking about.

Jeffrey Hamm

YOU GUYS SHOULD DO ATTACK ON TITAN OR SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL. GREAT SHOWS, AND YOUTUBE ALGO FRIENDLY. AOT HAS 150 EPISODES BUT ITS IN A BIG CLIMAX THAT I THINK HAPPENS IN THE FALL BUT THERE MIGHT BR ANOTHER EPISODE THAT COMES OUT LATER BBUT IM NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE CUTTING IT UP. TANYA IS ONLY 12-13 EPISODE BUT ITS A CRAZY RIDE. LOVE THE CONTENT AND YOU GOT A SHOUT OUT FROM TFS IN THEIR MEW DIRECTOR COMMENTARY

Joyner Lucas

The English dubs are atrocious. There is a chronic problem in all of the pre-kai dubs where the directors seem to think the audience is stupid and can't tell what the character is thinking without five minutes of inner monologue. So many scenes are absolutely butchered by either having the character talk while they're off screen (so you can't see that their lips aren't moving) or having them talk to themselves inside their head. Trunks finding Gohan's body: butchered. The silence of the Japanese version has emotion weight that was clearly beyond the scope of an American director. Gohan's rage moment: Cluttered with a length, unnecessary inner monologue that was totally needless and robbed the scene of gravitas. Vegeta's rage upon seeing Trunk's dead: Butchered again. Because "gotta have a monologue to fill time!". TFS did a much better job; even having the background sound fade away into white noise, and you didn't NEED Vegeta's voice actor to spoon feed you what the character was thinking at the time.

Jennifer Sunderland

Do you mean the original version? As a non american I only ever saw ridicule for the US dub version in general, but particularly for that scene, which in the american version is sorta ruined with lots of unecessary inner dialogue and such, instead of just letting the imagery and music do the talking. TFS even used an english cover version of the song that plays in the japanese original, because it is so iconic

A. Egloff

That final scene in the dubbed version is considered one of the best scenes in all of the Dragon Ball Universe (along with Goku turning Super Saiyan for the first time and another event that you'll see once you get to the next saga), so it was very impressive for TFS to even match the epicness of this moment, and possibly even surpass what the dubbed version did.

Jeffrey Hamm

Nothing could've prepared me for Kengeta.

Jeffrey Hamm

I liked the Linkin Park reference in this part.

Skyler Van

Happy Easter! ๐Ÿฐ

Jolteon Boko

In the actual show, 16 is more comforting and reassuring during that speech, but tfs changed it because it was more emotional this way.

Silxvi

I love the costumes yโ€™all! Just wanted to suggest that you guys should react to Mega64โ€™s โ€œDragon Ball Z in 5 Minโ€ they break it down saga by saga and film it in janky live action

HyppoCritical

I definitely wasn't expecting for this LOL

Rig

You guys saved my boring Easter Sunday, especially with the cosplay. Lmao Ken, loved the Vegeta imitation or should I say the nice try๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ, Nah just kidding, you both were great!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Happy Eastern you two!๐Ÿ‡

Coral

Fun fact: You two were part of a few reactors that got a direct shout-out by TFS just yesterday. There's a channel called FourStarBento, where two of the TFS team are doing a commentary series over DBZA, where they rewatch the series and talk about everything that went in to making it. Their most recent one, for Episode 37, came out yesterday. One bit of it had KaiserNeko commenting on that he loves seeing reactors' reactions to the line, while showing some of those reactions, including yours. At 18:24 in that video is where it shows up.

ArcaneAnomaly

Many moons ago, on youtube, I said that Goku isn't actually the main character of DBZ. Gohan is. The entire story up to the Cell Saga is basically Gohan's coming of age story and inheriting the mantle of earth's hero from his father. Abridged even lampshades this a lot by pointing out that Goku is barely around. It's all about Gohan, for the most part. He's the main point of view character for most of the series. The song that pays at the end there is called "Spirit vs Spirit". None of the English dubs use it, but it is the song that was used in the Japanese version of this scene. TFS made their own English translation of it to use in the scene, and it's honestly one of the best dubbed versions Gohan's transformation.

Jennifer Sunderland

Lmao. Yall are great.

thebeardly

So glad to see how far your Fandom of this show has come. Ken's hair is 10/10. Huge credit goes to Lawrence "MasakoX" Simpson and Curtis "Takahata101" Arnott, their performances as Gohan and Cell respectively for this whole episode is super stellar. Also shoutout to Remix (whose name I've forgotten and apologize for that) for his incredible speech as 16. Also, I want to remphasize that there was a 1 year gap between last episode and this one. Thankfully, all 3 parts were released live on stream 3 Fridays in a row, so the wait wasn't long from here. But yeah, that year long wait was totally worth it. Also also (I just keep thinking of things to add), the ending to this part was completely untouched. They got a singer to do a cover of Unmei no Hi, or Day of Fate in English, and let the transformation scene play out exactly as it did in the original Japanese anime.

DementisXYZ

And why is Ken's side glance at the start of the video so terrifying

Vi

OMG YOU GUYS ACTUALLY COSPLAYED AS BULMA AND VEGETA.

Vi

Could yโ€™all watch Naruto and Naruto shippuden after this just a fyi even if you post everyday Monday-Friday itโ€™s gonna take like 2 years to get through Naruto and Naruto shippuden

Jonathan Alvear

Happy Easter! Ty
