I Watched DBS: Superhero in 0.16x Speed. Here's What I Found!

alternate title: Obsessive Weeb wastes 9 Hours Looking at Anime Backgrounds CORECTION: Skip to 21:21 to skip DBS Manga stuff shoutout to Canadian Lad for the title inspiritation! (Technincally I watched the movie at .16x speed so it was even SLOWER lol)

I like to think Goku smiled at the end because he was proud of how strong his friend got

6:14 The way the Trunks vs Frieza fight happens in just a matter of seconds is probably the most accurate and the most amazing scene I've ever seen considering it's from a human perspective.

14:18 the animator knew what they were doing💀

I honestly love how Piccolo is portrayed as a weirdo in how he uses the phone or scratches the window to get Gohand attention.

I love that Gohan can't catch small stuff being thrown at him, since he's not wearing his glasses for those moments.

23:00 I just saw that smile as Goku having had fun with the fight and glad to see Vegeta growing into an even better rival to keep pushing him forward.

I like the implication that Piccolo throws off his weighted clothes just to be dramatic.

16:07 I laughed so hard when they showed Frieza just casually spinning in a circle in the movie. “Is he always up there, just spinning around?”

14:29 “Bulma is throwing a lot of things around” You’re telling me 💀

The meditation thing is definitely the biggest fail in the movie, they completely swapped Goku and Vegeta's personalities for that. Goku is as you say, the one who understands the value of Meditation, honing the mind in addition to the body. Vegeta is the impatient one who thinks you can only get stronger by battle and stress.

The manga has actually fixed Goku outright saying meditation isn't training at all. He instead questions why Vegeta is meditating out of all people and Vegeta says meditation is the key to conserving energy and their physical ability has peaked. It is still odd that he explains it does this by relaxing before attacks, as if Goku wouldn't learn this from before.

I think Goku’s smile at the end is just a reference to Goku always enjoying fighting/meeting stronger people. So Vegeta beating him here is just giving him more motivation to get stronger

The unspoken rizz of krillin is unmatched

The MCU has The Canadian Lad… Dragon Ball has Carthu’s Dojo!

22:14, I'm a bit late to this, but it reminded me more of the kick Gohan did against Cell that ultimately led to him losing Android 18. In that scene, Cell gets frustrated and grows larger simply to increase his power

Little disappointed you mentioned Gohan dropping the sensu (like the potara earing) .... However didn't connect it to. -Gohan doesn't need his glasses when he goes SSJ, he takes them off before he transforms. Given, each time he misses catching objects, he's in his base form.

19:49 Cell Max isn't only a reference to past Dragon Ball material! The earlier shot of his tail thrashing around in the water is a reference to Shin Godzilla's first form, which is only ever seen as a tail thrashing around out of the water, and the shot where he launches all the purple lasers from his back is reminiscent of a climactic action setpiece from that movie where the titular kaiju wipes out a fleet of bomber planes in a similar manner, down to what I believe to be the same exact laser firing sound effects first used for Destoroyah's micro-oxygen beams in Godzilla vs Destoroyah. In fact, Cell Max's tail being an asymmetrical mass of laser-firing orifices could also be a Shin Godzilla reference, although since it's not a literal secondary/spare head on the end of his tail I personally have less faith in this one.

carthu thought he was slick saying bulma was throwing a lot around😂

The dedication to look for these references is very awesome it was nice seeing some of these in the theaters when spotted especially during Gohan vs Cell max when he did that uppercut
