Alternate Reality DBZ/YMMV

Back to Alternate Reality DBZ

---

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Piccolo is far from serious in Alternate Reality. He is extremely energetic and is also a hardcore Celine Dion fan.
  • Gohan is considered extremely weak and wussy.
  • Raditz is a car salesman and has a very dopey voice. He is also strong enough to kill Cell instead of Gohan.
  • Dodoria seems to act like a child.
  • King Cold looks forward to meeting Frieza's friends instead of helping Frieza kill the Z-Fighters. After Mecha Frieza's death, King Cold says "Thank you for killing Lord Freezer Brain and leaves, which is extremely unlike his character.
  • Doore from Cooler's Revenge and Return of Cooler has a personality similar to Nappa's from Dragon Ball Abridged. Not only that, they are voiced by the same exact person. Both of them annoy the hell out of their masters.
• Non Sequitur Scene: There are random flashbacks that have no relevance to the current episode, especially the later ones. The Buu saga is full of them.
  • Any sudden appearance of "Parenting with Vegeta". It even interrupted Vegeta during the Saiyan Saga retelling. He got pissed.
  • ANY appearance of King Cold in Episode 38. Trunks even comments that his presence is more random than a flashback about Vegeta.
  • Episodes 26 and 53.
    • Episode 26 has to do with Cell and Frieza setting up a bomb to destroy the Earth. Then it goes from Piccolo getting confused about human genders, Gozar punching a stuffed duck, Dabura doing women's aerobics, Piccolo getting a Big Mac, Vegeta's flashback about his mustache phase, then leading to the bomb blowing up. First comes a dud Parenting with Vegeta, then when the bomb continues, it turns out the bomb itself was a dud too. It turns out it was Vegeta' birthday. Frieza says that him and Cell would never set up a bomb.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Raditz showing up out of the blue to defeat Cell in only a few seconds.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: Vegeta's Christmas present to Gozar: A phone call from a DBZ Voice Actor. Three guesses who it is...

Kyle Hebert: "This is Kyle Hebert, I'm the voice of Teen Gohan from Dragonball Z. Kinda heard through the grapevine that you've been, uh, talking smack about my character. I just like to tell ya that you suck. Gohan happens to be a great character. In fact, one of the greatest characters ever created! And you'd be lucky if he gave you the time of day, dude! So why don't you make like a tree, and get outta here! Get a life you loser! Oh, and thanks for watching!"

• • Pretty much anything Vegeta says.

Vegeta: WOMAN! MAKE ME BROWNIES!!!

In the Super Android 13 retelling: You took my drunken body, and you... you... YOU DEFLOWERED MY FANNY!!!!

• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Raditz, who was a ruthless and overconfident villain in Dragon BAll Z, shows to be a kind brother when he gives Goku energy for the spirit bomb for him to use against Kid Buu. He says that Goku has changed so much since they first met.
• Ensemble Darkhorse- Vegeta.
• Hilarious in Hindsight- In mid-2008, Gozar made two episodes of the now cancelled One Piece Abridged. In it, he used his Gohan voice for Luffy. Almost two years later, young Gohan's voice in Dragonball Z Kai was done by Colleen Clinkenbeard, the voice actor who did the Funimation version of Luffy.
