106 "Namek-sei Daibakuhatsu!! Uchuu ni Kieta Goku"
(The Great Explosion of Planet Namek!! Goku Vanishes into Space)
91-9-4
91 "Namek's Explosion... Goku's End?" 99-11-2

Goku frantically searches for a means of escape from Namek, and finds Freeza's ship. But he is undable to get it to work, and is caught in the explosion. Yamucha relays the sad news to Buruma on Earth, who tells everyone not to worry because the Namek balls can be used to revive a person more than once. Unfortunately, Porunga can only ressurect Goku and Kuririn at the place where they died... a planet that no longer exists.

One thing that kept going through my mind while watching these last few Freeza episodes, particularly this one, is how grateful I am that FUNimation can now say "die." Can you imagine how unbearably awkward and stupid the dialogue would have been if they'd had to dance around using the words "die" and "kill" during all of this stuff about Freeza DYING, Goku possibly being DEAD, wishing people back to LIFE, the technicalities of the DB's, DYING of natural CAUSES, etc.? If these episodes had been dubbed under Saban's control, I can't even begin to conceive of how horrible the dialogue might have gotten. The words "another dimension" would have surely been thrown about like monkey feces, staining and ruining everything in sight.

Man, I am SO glad FUNimation got away from those evil, evil people.


Yamucha: "He's like the Great Houdini or something."

This is pretty bad, but it's not bad enough to squander quality wit on. And you should all know by now why lines like this are inappropriate. Anyway, I'll just move on.

Narrator: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Krillin's in da house!"

uuuh.... uhhhuuuhh ... AaaaAAAAAAAAAAGGHGHGHAAAGHAHGHHAHGHA!!!!! OH DEAR JESUS CHRIST, I DID NOT HEAR THAT. I can't even... no. I am unable to articulate how VOMIT-INDUCINGLY TERRIBLE this piece of DEMONIC FILTH is. The words... the delivery... the fact that it's Dragon Ball... This line made me want to take a pillow and go around the neighborhood smothering random old people in their sleep. "WHO'S IN 'DA HOUSE' NOW, GRANDPA?? WHO'S IN IT???"

FUNimation, THIS IS NOT "SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO!" IT'S A CARTOON FROM JAPAN! STOP WITH THE EBONICS! WHY MUST YOU... JUST... HAVE SOME GOD DAMNED RESP.... AAAAGHAHHGHA!!! FORGET IT!!!

That's it, time to go a-smotherin'.
