The WEIRD and Forgotten Dragon Ball Specials (2024)

👉 The Strangest Dragon Ball What Ifs EVR ruclips.net/video/4qb6xJjOv_Q/видео.htmlsi=_KWZpB7cQjFTHHUs

Soooooo when are we doing “What if Goku stayed as a Fire Fighter” Smug? 👀

Chichi : get a job Goku
Goku : but chichi , I have a job , I’m a fire fighter
Chichi: SINCE WHEN….
Goku : since I was a child

It's now canon to me that Goku was a "I wanna be a firefighter when I grow up" kid

Goku: Remember kids only you can stop mount Paozu fires 🔥 🔥🔥

20:24
"you can also get a bad ending where everybody dies"
"I really do prefer this versio-"

BRO JAPAN HAS SO MANY COOL 3D AND 4D SPECIALS! I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM ADAPTED TO VR! I'd unironically get a VR headset just to experience these for myself. I'd especially love to see the One Piece crossover Fuji TV Orb Specials. Seeing a VR Shenron in the room would be so cool.

The og db psa's were shown in my school when i was 13, they were actually really charming

Everyone is like "Goku vs Superman" but nobody ever asks the real question.
Fireman Goku vs Anti-Cigarettes Superman. Who is the superior PSA for their countries?!

57:15 I did some digging. The Tokyo Skytee is 634 Meters(or 2,080 feet), according to the Super Exciting Guide Story Volume; Korin's tower is over 8,000 Meters(or over 26,000 feet). So technically The Skytree is smaller than Korin's Tower.

Most interesting thing abt the early 2000s is how dragon ball was clearly trying to find a new artstyle, you can even see yamamuros style change

"untill roshi gets a vietnam flashback" really gets me🤣

Honestly the PSA’s are charming, they’re fun

Goku, most powerful firefighter that ever lived

Real ones know Master Roshi was the first firefighter in dragon ball

Australia got the extended cut on DVD but it was exclusive to a specific retailer called Big W.

29:55 so it's canon that Astro Boy is stronger alone than Krillin and Kid Gohan together

I like to think that the TV show host who wished for Goku's powers has the same consequences as Gas

Bringing back good memories. I used to call Walmart once per month asking if a new dvd released for dbz cause I didn’t want to wait for tv release . I think it was always 3-6 episodes per dvd? This was about 22 years ago so I can’t remember every detail but, always being excited to buy a new dvd every month lol . Yeah had the prehistoric TV but an awesome surroundsound system .😅

I am still sad they made cabba more important that Tarble, will never get the tarble raditz fusion

Thanks smugstick. Had a ton of fun watching this and learned some new stuff.

Just imagine Goku teaching Gohan fire safety. >_

Remember when Goku and Vegeta were on Letterman?

NGL tho
Launch in a policewoman outfit kinda goes hard. I would watch a series about a traffic cop lady that turns into a violent criminal lunatic when she sneezes.
Also, if you want to do that AU about "What if Goku stayed as a Fire Fighter?" hit me up. I'm always looking for new clients.

I think Goku as a fire fighter is a thing he definitely did for his training.

This video feels so professional, you’ve come a long way buddy keep it up

Christian acknowledgement? In my Dragon Ball?
That's kinda cool!

The cgi with Goku fighting Frieza looked good even for it's time.

Smugstick is gonna reach 400k subscribers before the end of the year

Friend: so what’s your favorite Dragon Ball media
Me: 44:22

We do need a proper dive into Dragon Ball Heroes (all media) because there's so much misinformation since some people just start at arc 2 of SDBH (the anime, basically), which is a shaaaaaame because heroes is amazing.

1:00:22 no way it's the origin of PHY SSR SSJ Gogeta

Didn't know all the footage of the Goku Audience fusion was in first perspective, that's really cool actually!

15:24 And thats also how my theory of Bulma being a Tsufurujin gets reality

LOVE the OVA: Plan To Eradicate The Saiyans movie....watched it multiple times!

Roshi getting vietnam flashbacks is a hilarious joke.

Goku had history of being a fire fighter
*Goku years later:* I heard the Fire Force universe is strong!

Putting out oil fire with water is a bad idea, they would use special foam for that actually, or rugs.

Id honestly love if you did a video like this, but with the Dragon Ball Heroes animations. Those were what kept me alive in junior high with no new dragonball news

I remember a few years ago that someone dubbed the Episode of Bardock special and posted it on RUclips and the funny thing is, when you watch it, it sounded like Funimation dubbed it as Chilled sounded exactly like or close to Chris Ayres's Frieza, I think it's still on RUclips.
Just imagine if there were no females in the audience for Roshi to hit on 😂

Great video dude!

Lets be real the starting two at the beginning when they are doing PSA for fires the animation usually is lower quality so using designs of characters previously used helps speed it up and also lets me real kids will probably listen more with things they enjoy cause I do remember seeing similar things with other shows characters so it makes sense they do wanna use popular characters since kids more then likely pay attention to their ‘heroes’ and such

Who wouldn't want to see Goku as a firefighter!?

I remember the whole goku meeting his younger self but I could not find it so I assumed I made it up in my head

So Dragonball in Japan is almost akin to SpongeBob in the US

27:55 I HAD THAT GAMEBOY VIDEO THING! that recap was my introduction to GT as a kid i thought dragon ball ended with buu

8:26 this is what broke the DB timeline and created Al the branch offs the Kai’s don’t know about like GT

It’s truly a blessing to be in this age of vast information

Great video! There was so many specials I had no idea of. Super cool!

Those first two videos would have probably had an impact here, If they were aired in the US around that time. My parents let me watch DBZ. But some of my friends’ that I was hanging out with at the time. Their parents wouldn’t let them watch it.

That's female officer look exactly like Launch

man goku gets downscaled in these crossovers almost as much as when he nearly died to a frieza soldier in super

Dragon Ball Special: Hyper Anime Dragon Ball lowkey features a rare art of Frieza in third form with his tail fully intact, remember he lost the tip of his tail in his second form, and when he transformed the tip remained cut, we never really knew what his tail would have looked like undamaged. Even in the Daizenshuu it was always depicted as cut in official concept art. There may be others that exist, but not that I know of.

The Annecy animation section is amazing.

OG Dragon Ball actually had half the Red Ribbon saga translated before 2000 I can remember watching it at like 5:30 am on what would become SciFi channel back in mid 90's I dont know if it was American or Canadian production but I remember watching it as a child way before I ever saw DBZ

6:52 Damn… Gohan really came at his dad’s neck like that😅 He’d NEVER say that s*%# to Piccolo

oh wait i may have slipped up...i think. the real Jackie chun is jackie chun meaning that Jackie chun is actually just roshis alter ego. wich would be correct. because master roshi wouldnt be jackie chun in reality but the other way around? i think thats what hes saying...i guess.

the mutant doesnt realize piccolo can fly. and so the mutant sets off all the landmines trying to follow piccolo and dies. lmao what?! talk about failure of hindsight. man that one was funny. XD

the only legal way to watch episode of bardock
is through being a dragon ballzy warrior
and becoming a cuper cyan

Street safety episode would fit almost perfectly with the canon beside presence of the red hair girl who lives in the village from "Muscle Tower"/Red Ribbon Arc.

The street crossing PSA is especially ironic given Goku's literally hit by a car in his first appearance, and it makes sense he wouldn't be used to navigating busy city roads living in the wilderness so long. Though I guess young Goku also DID help put out a big fire...
Ive heard Goku Returns 40:00 gets some shit because the canonicity is wild (no I will never accept Tarble as a serious thing, and in general DBZ fans worry too much about "canon") but then you realize for a return-to-tv fun little special not really concerned with such things, it's much more fun.

wait, so the plan to eradicate saiyan was a guide OVA first THEN a playdia choose your adventure? not the other way around?

That time when Goku learned his fire fighting technique from Muten Roshi after seeing him putting out Mount Frypan's fire for the Ox King.

Wow!! The feats I have witnessed here that I didn’t know Goku had

Hi Smug, great job! I've been looking for the alternate ending of the Hatchiyack OVA (more specifically the one where Goku defeats him with the Spirit Bomb) for a while now, but I always find it in poor quality. I see that you were able to get it in pretty good quality! Do you think you could pass it along to me or tell me where you were able to get it? Greetings

12:05 yo 🤔 was Gohan always this rip in the buu saga? Now that I think about it... I don't remembered he ever taking off his shirt 🤷🏾‍♀️ i remembered he got some big arms when he fought super Buu. I feel like I need to workout more 😑

9:28 The funny thing that multiple yrs later there was a show called Naruto SD used the same joke this alone make you now how much Naruto’s producers was inspired by Akira’s work

32:13 You know... Even though it's the 2000, Yamamuro's arts at that time was pretty good like this Goku's shot right there.

This Video is Gonna be Amazing I can feel it __ Ssj4 Goku

I always take for granted that I was extremely versed in IRC's when I was 14 in the late 90's... I had ALL the subs of all sorts of anime. (Fan/Amateur/Cheap US Distributor) - subs. I remember thinking there was some way the movies had a HARD place in the timeline. Hardest sub that I _needed_ to find was "El Hazzard"... but I can't remember if I had trouble finding the OAV or TV version.

Great vid

You should do a what if about the ova's bardock and where he goes

10:23 that he can wear him like scarf around his neck

24:35 Toonami!!! What a throw back

No comment about Bulma living in a small apartment?

jackie chun was actually master roshi. why would you say he wasnt? im confused. did i miss something? is this special a wierd alternate timeline where jackie chun is his own person? i mean im sorry but im really lost...this is like saying great saiyaman isnt gohan.

HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY SOMEHOW SAW THE SUIT SPECIAL?? I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER THEM BEING UNCOMFORTABLE IN THEM SUITS bro just unlocked a core memory

BEFORS 1 HOUR GANG🎉!

It's funny how Goku can't remember a promise to Chichi but knows how to put out fires

Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love dragon ball all franchise

12:36 I distinctly remember having a gohan toy with him in that suit as a kid

I remember that recap. At the time my parents had fancy digital cable, so we got the international channel .I was able to watch Dragon Ball, GT before the dub. So when the English finally came out weird recap stuck out to me.

Not the toy car!🥺3:45

Wait. There is a special called "Legacy of Goku"? And everyone knows about it? Why don't I know about it? What's it about? Where can I watch it?!

super saiyan 5 is best who agrees nice vid btw

Beautiful.

damn, everytime i see classic dragon ball i realize how much i miss it

This is insane😮

1:32 I never thought that seeing rectangular building in dragon ball would be cursed, but boy was I wrong.

Why tf frieza attacking New York

42:51 - Nah, nasty sound effects!!! 😂😂

I downloaded a torrent a while ago with all the movies that has the Trunks version of Resurrection F and I thought it was a fan edit for the longest time.

I still have my GT lost episodes VHS tapes in my basement. I remember watching it as a kid n loving it cuz I thought it was a great continuation after the buu saga, but as an adult I see it fell flat entirely for the first arc

I wouldn't mind Johnny Bravo narrating all the DB series 🤣

I need LR fire fighter Goku in Dokkan now !!!

31:55 wait a goddamn minute, that's fucking sick!

well Krillin is a Cop so why not a Fire Fighter too

I saw this one special where Bulma and 18 were lezzing out with each other. But I don’t think that was made by Toei.

Smug stick looks so handsome

WAIT A MINUTE.....no...oh NO....did Japan literly copy/paste the Mario/Luigi fire brigade with Dragon Ball?!....I just looked at these kids and was like...aren't those the same 2 kids that almost caused trouble before?
