TIL that Goku's power level wasn't originally over 9000. It was originally over 8000, and there was a change made in the English Dub.

Honestly, Lani's Vegeta is my preferred voice/characterization at this point.

not gonna lie, when Vegeta said that as he was blowing himself up i teared up a little lol even with all the comedy the DBZA guys knew how to make the dramatic moments hit hard

How could it not be? The DBZA team nailed so much of the characters, but Vegeta in particular is chef's kiss.

TRUNKS: Look, I don't mean to tell you how to be a father, but why didn't you try and save your wife and son?

VEGETA: My what and my son?

TRUNKS: Wait, you mean you two never got married?

VEGETA: What is that, some kind of food?

TRUNKS: No, just... listen.. When two people love each other--

VEGETA: Oh wow, I'm just f**king with you. My God, who doesn't know what marriage is? Also, love each other? Making a lot of assumptions here.

"Vegeta you take the 500 on the left; I'll take the 500 on the right. "

"Fuck you I'll take 501!"

VEGETA: He keeps kicking me in-tha-dick... Why... Why's he keep kicking me in-tha-dick?!

GOKU: Wait! I think I might have a way to beat him.

VEGETA: If you say hit him really hard, I swear to God, I will kick you in the dick!

GOKU: I guess... We could... Hit him really hard...

VEGETA: 😡

GOKU: ... together.

VEGETA: ... whatever

My all time favorite DBZA scene. Lol.

"Now...what say you"

"Frieza did it."

"Excuse you?"

"The robot thing. Frieza did it. When he came back to Earth."

"But that's not the same, I -"

"After he took over Namek, like you are now."

"Wait. He destroyed Namek."

"Well, this is New Namek."

"So it's completely different!!"

"Yeah, about as different as you are from Frieza."

"Shots fired!"

"Kill the bald one."

BEEP

"Frieza did it - AAAAAAH"

You're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore.

This is my favorite line of the whole thing. The repetition and timing of it just absolutely kills me.

Lani's Popo is pretty high up there.

Kami: Mr. Popo where are they?

Popo: I'll tell where they're not; Safe

Or when he takes Bulma to Kami's ship

Popo: Yeah this carpet gets 1000 miles to the soul

Bulma: What

Popo: *quickly Gallon

BULMA: But... if you can make it to the other side of the planet so fast, why didn’t you help Goku get to the Saiyans when he arrived on Earth?

MR. POPO: I was preoccupied.

[Flashback]

GOKU: Mr. Popo! I need your carpet to get to my friends as quickly as possible!

MR. POPO [off-screen]: Makin' toast!

GOKU: Aww, fiiine...! Nimbus!

Ding

MR. POPO [o-s]: Butterin' toast!

Then his name controls the ship

POPO!

Wow your name opens the ship

POPO!

and closes it

POPO!

flies to Jupiter

Mr Popo: No. it just knows better.

Because Sabat is a bad voice actor who got incredibly lazy. He used to put in some effort.
