WHAT IF- Dragon Ball Z Abridged: TFS Vegeta's Final Atonement

TFS version of the speech before this: Vegeta: Green man. Before I meet my inevitable fate…There is one thing I'd like to know. Tell me, will I meet that clown Kakarot in the other world? Piccolo:… You’re kidding, right? Vegeta: (surprised) Piccolo: Look, this might not be what you want to hear in what are basically your last moments of life, but I’m not going to sugarcoat it, either, Vegeta. Let’s run down the list: Goku saved strangers, his friends, entire cities, entire worlds and the entire universe. So he was rewarded in the afterlife. Then there’s you. You’ve blown up planets for funsies, wiped entire civilizations off the map, killed an entire village of my people that weren’t wished back, you murdered your own underlings, you let Cell—a psychopathic android which killed millions of people—power up to his perfect form because you overestimated your strength, you just blew up half a stadium with people inside, and you’re single-handedly responsible for releasing Majin Buu, thus putting the lives of your wife, your son and everyone in the universe in danger because you just couldn’t wait to fight Goku and your precious Saiyan pride demands it. One last act of heroism doesn’t negate the truth: You were a lousy husband, a terrible father and an even worse person. You are, and always have been, an asshole, Vegeta. And in the end, it won’t matter. When you die, in all likelihood, worst case, you end up in HFIL. Best case, everything you are will be stripped away. Your memories, your body, your entire life essence. And you’ll be reborn into something else. All traces of Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, will be gone. Forever. Vegeta: ….. ….. Well , that sucks. But thank you for your honesty, Piccolo. So I guess there’s only one thing left to do…go out with a bang. A BIG bang.” Piccolo: (sigh) You know what? Because you’re about to die, I’m gonna let you have that one. Vegeta: (smirking) F*ck you, that was totally badass. Piccolo: It really wasn’t. (Smile) But what you’re doing right now? That’s badass. Goodbye, my friend. Vegeta: Take care of yourself, Green Man…and look out for my boy.

“EVEN YOU, BEST BUDDY!” Is now canon in abridged 👏

He should’ve screamed TEAM THREE STAR!

Vegeta: "For the honor and glory... of TEAM THREE STAR!!!" Krillin: *Squees as Vegeta explodes*

0:57 was a nice touch. All this time we thought it was his scream on Namek that carried throughout time and space, but it wasn’t.

Before exploding Vegeta: TEAM 3 STAR Krillin somewhere: I knew he liked that name

0:57 Whoa, that scream hits different in this context. It's like he's in agony from basically tearing himself apart.

I legit cried when Vegeta called him "best buddy". Damn you, Bojack, for eliminating our chances at DBZA Season 4.

the 'you're ugly' fuckin got me

“Best buddy” almost broke me

This Vegeta saying "Best Buddy" really hits hard for me. Gives me chills every time

Here's what I imagined Vegeta would say: Buu: What should I turn you into? Cookies? Crackers? Vegeta: I'm gonna have you snack on a Ki Blast since I'm going down with a bang... a BIG bang. Buu: Wat? Vegeta: (Goodbye everyone. Woman, my baby boy, and even you... Best Buddy.) Buu: What do you mean by snacking on a Ki Blast- Vegeta: This is the only time I'm gonna say it, but... TeamThreeSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!! Final Explosion intensifies

Amazing how a comical adaptation can be so successful that it actually draws tears when you finally hear that "best buddy" we've all waited for.

Awesome but this makes the fact dbza stopped more sad

YOU WERE RIGHT THO TBH-

I got copyrighted hella quick by Toei, but it was all worth it ;)

This aged so well

THEY DID IT, THEY FINALLY FUCKING DID IT AND IT WAS EVERYTHING I ALWAYS WANTED

“woman, my baby boy, t3s, and even u….best buddy” i wish

H-he died as he lived 🥺😢 screaming into oblivion for the 13 universes to hear
