"(thinking) Okay, Trunks, don't be nervous. He's just a normal guy-- just introduce yourself. (out loud) So, you're Sun Wukong, right? (thinking) DAMN IT!" |
"News of Future Past" is the fourth episode of Season 3 of Team Four Star's DragonBall Z Abridged and is the thirty-fourth episode overall. It was first uploaded on YouTube on April 29, 2013.
Summary[]
Goku is surprised that all his friends are alive, stating that he was sure Freeza would have "Yamcha'd" at least one of them before greeting Yamcha. Goku asks who killed Freeza, and Vegeta tries to regain some credibility but is undercut when Bulma tells Goku that Trunks was responsible. Trunks asks to speak with Goku in private. Goku agrees, to Gohan's dismay, as it's been almost two years since they last saw each other. Trunks accidentally refers to Goku as Sun Wukong, but Goku doesn't seem to notice this. Trunks asks Goku about his fight with Freeza and asks to see his Super Saiyan form. Goku agrees despite having never met Trunks and shows him his transformation. Trunks follows suit and transforms. Goku is surprised that Trunks' hair is yellow, and he is shocked when Trunks tell him that his hair is also yellow.
The onlookers compare the two and conclude that Trunks is a Super Saiyan before being cut off by Vegeta. Krillin compliments Tenshinhan about his appearance and he jokingly states that he might be the next Super Saiyan, to Vegeta's annoyance. Goku sees that Trunks is a Super Saiyan and asks if anything has happened to Krillin while he was gone. Trunks tries to attack Goku, but he is completely indifferent to these attacks and continues to ask about Krillin. Trunks decides to tell Goku his secret, and Goku swears on Krillin's life that he will keep it. Trunks is uneasy for obvious reasons, and Goku decides to swear on Bulma's life. This prompts Trunks to accidentally reveal that Bulma is his mother. Goku then unintentionally realizes that Vegeta is the father, much to Piccoloâs amusement. Goku prepares to congratulate the two, but Trunks reveals he's from the future. He gives out a warning about two creatures will arrive on May 3rd, 900 miles from South City three years from now, created by the defunct Red Ribbon Army. Goku quickly realizes that he means "androids", even though the correct term is cyborgs. Trunks also reveals that they killed Vegeta, Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, and Chiaotzu. Goku is shocked to hear this, but notices that he didn't mention Yamcha, and asks what happened to him. Trunks awkwardly explains that Yamcha died too, but not by the androids. When Yamcha learnt that Bulma was pregnant with Vegeta's child, he... did the job himself. Goku asks about himself, and Trunks reveals that in two years he will die of heart failure from too much bacon, which Goku doesn't believe, but he gives Goku medicine that will level his cholesterol. Goku then questions if the medicine is grape flavored (which surprisingly isn't his favorite flavor); Trunks, neither knowing nor caring, answers that it's bacon flavored.
After Trunks returns to the future, Goku tries to tell everyone what Trunks told him but needed help from Piccolo on the details. He also reveals that the muffins from the Muffin Button protected him from the explosion of Namek and took him to planet Yardrat where he learned how to use Instant Transmission, from eating the sick. Yamcha asks why Goku didnât just teleport to Freezaâs location when he could do so, to which Goku answered he wanted to let them take a swing for a change. An annoyed Piccolo asks Goku to avoid making that a habit, but the latter says he canât do so. Bulma suggests that rather than train for the Androids, they find the dragon balls, use their wish to find the creator, and kill him in cold blood. Even though Vegeta likes the wording Bulma used, he refuses, claiming to be a Super Saiyan. Goku asks Vegeta to show him, but when the latter hesitates, Tenshinhan calls bullshit, causing the Saiyan prince to leave. Goku admits that he wants to fight the Androids as he would like a challenge after Freeza, and Gohan reluctantly agrees to train with him, if only to spend time with him.
The Z Fighters afterward go their separate ways to train. Chi-Chi scolds Goku for leaving with Gohan, and she also refuses to make dinner for him. Goku and Piccolo constantly try to drive cars instead, in-between training with Gohan and leaving him at the bottom of the cliff, where Goku states that Gohan needs to learn to dodge. Goku tells Piccolo that heâs lying to Chi-Chi about taking Gohan on school trips, and asks him not to say anything. However, Piccolo says heâs okay with that as they are studying.
Meanwhile, back at Capsule Corp, Vegeta requests that Dr. Briefs make him a spaceship with a gravity chamber that can go 500x's the Earth's gravity. Dr. Briefs reluctantly does so, but Vegeta's first outing goes poorly, and the ship explodes. Despite his injuries, Vegeta continues to train. Bulma interrupts Vegeta's training, arguing that he shouldn't be training with injuries, only for the two of them to trade insults with each other. Finally, Bulma tells Vegeta to meet her in her bedroom, where they have sex. After they have sex, Bulma asks Vegeta where his condom is, to which Vegeta replies that he has no idea what that is.
The stinger consists of Piccolo and Goku driving cars. They hit each other's cars and crash with a parody of Ludacris' "Move Bitch" called "Dodge Bitch", sung by Piccolo, playing in the background.

Running Gags[]
- This episode starts the running gag of characters blasting their signature attacks when "climaxing" in bed. Here, Vegeta fires his Galick Gun out of Capsule Corp.
- "DODGE!".
Trivia[]
- Trunk's time machine is a reference to the TARDIS from Doctor Who.
- Trunks calls Goku "Sun Wukong" by accident. In real life, the character Son Goku (ć«æç©ș)was named for Sun Wukong (ć«æç©ș), the main character from the Chinese story Journey to the West, which loosely inspired characters and story elements in Dragon Ball. In Japanese, these characters are pronounced as Son Goku. Goku either knows about this and takes it in stride... or fails to notice that Trunks said the wrong name.
- The first episode where "fuck" is uncensored, where Vegeta asks Bulma the condom.
- The title is a reference to the famous X-Men storyline, Days of Future Past.
- Trunks' parting comment to Goku of "Until we meet again!" may be a reference to the final spoken words in the last episode of Dragon Ball GT, the last words spoken chronologically in the Dragon Ball GT universe.
- The songs Goku and Piccolo sang while driving were parodies of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell' and Ludacris' "Move Bitch" respectively.
- The way Goku learns Instant Transmission is different than the original source material. In the original, he was trained by the Yardrat's while waiting for his ship to be repaired. In Team Four Star's version, Goku was fed their sick and somehow learned how to use the technique.
- Bulma and Vegeta's lovemaking at the end of the story is how most fans of the original DBZ thought Trunks was conceived.
- Goku responding to Piccolo telling Nail to shut up was most likely a reference to how Goku and Nail are both voiced by Sean Schemmel in the Funimation Dub.

Episode Transcription (English)[]
[Episode disclaimer is read by Yamcha]
[Cheering]
GOKU: Wow, I can't believe you guys... are all still alive. I mean, I swore Freezer was gonna Yamcha at least one or two of you. Speaking of which - hi Yamcha!
YAMCHA: Hey...!
GOKU: So, which one of you guys ex-nayed the old Freezer-fray?
VEGETA: Well, Kakarot, while you were off bumming around in space, I took charge of the situation! Gathering up your planet's measly excuse for fighters... and spearheaded an assault on--
BULMA: Right over here!
VEGETA [off-screen]: I WAS GETTING TO THAT!
GOKU: Oh, if it ain't you, you old so-and-so! It's been so long since I... uh⊠I... I mean youuu...?
(???/TRUNKS): We've never met before.
GOKU: Oh, thank God! Or Kami... or King Kai⊠I dunno, that whole thing is screwy.
(???/TRUNKS): Actually, if it's okay with you, I'd like to talk to you in private.
GOKU: Oh, okay. One minute guys!
GOHAN: But Dad, it's been almost two years!
GOKU: I know, but I gotta go talk to this purple stranger.
GOHAN: But I--
GOKU: Yeah, cool.
(TRUNKS) (Mentally): 'Okay, Trunks, don't be nervous. He's just a normal guy. Just introduce yourself.'
(TRUNKS) (Aloud): So, you're Sun Wukong, right?
(TRUNKS) (Mentally): 'DAMN IT!'
GOKU: I'm Son Goku, yes.
(TRUNKS): (Mentally) 'Roll with it.'
TRUNKS: I'm Trunks. Nice to meet you.
GOKU: Trunks, huh? So you're the one who whomped Freezer.
TRUNKS: Yes. I was actually wondering... how did he survive Namek?
GOKU: Well... I kinda maybe sorta kept letting him go⊠Yeah, probably a bad call.
TRUNKS: If I hadn't shown up, all your friends would be dead.
GOKU: Hoo-boy! The Dragon wouldn't be happy about that one!
TRUNKS: Also, I'm curious; when you fought Freeza, you were a Super Saiyan, correct?
GOKU: A super-duper Super Saiyan!
TRUNKS: Well... can you show me?
GOKU: I barely know you, but... I guess! Hehehehe! Still kinda tickles.
TRUNKS: Yep. That's a Super Saiyan alright. So, now that you've shown me yours, I'll show you mine!
GOKU: Whoa! What happened to your hair?! It's *yellow*!
TRUNKS: So is yours...
GOKU: IT IS?!
[ â« INTRO MUSIC PLAYS â« ]
BULMA: Blonde spiky hair...
GOHAN: Incredible aura...
KRILLIN: Well, Vegeta, now that Goku's here to compare, we can finally say for sure that that kid's a Super--
VEGETA: Utter one more word, and no dragon alive will be able to fix what I do to you!
KRILLIN: So, Tien, have you been lifting? 'Cause you are *jacked*!
TIEN: Yeah, who knows? Maybe *I'll* be the next Super Saiyan.
VEGETA: (Grumbling)
GOKU: So, a Super Saiyan too, huh? That's cool! Took Krillin dying for me to become one. Wait, did something happen to Krillin while I was gone?!
TRUNKS: Aahh, hah...!
GOKU: No, but seriously, how's Krillin?!
TRUNKS: It's just like my Mom said. You're absolutely amazing, Goku. Now I know that I can reveal to you my secret.
GOKU: A secret?! I love secrets! I'm awful at keeping them though. Like *the* worst!
TRUNKS: Uhm...
GOKU: Oh, but don't worry! I'll *totally* keep this one, though! I promise on Krillin's life.
TRUNKS: Uhm...!
GOKU: Ah, okay, you're right. I promise on Bulma's life!
TRUNKS: You promise on my mother's life?
GOKU: BULMA'S YOUR MOM?!
TRUNKS (Mentally): 'DAMN IT!'
GOKU: I can't believe it! I was only gone for a year and a half. And already a Super Saiyan. Kids grow up so fast these days.
TRUNKS: No, wait, you don't understand--
GOKU: And what? Next thing you're gonna tell me is that Vegeta's your daddy?
TRUNKS: Ummmmm...
GOKU: Oh my Gami-Kai.
PICCOLO [o-s]: HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA!
VEGETA [o-s]: What's so funny?!
PICCOLO [o-s]: Your shirt!
VEGETA [o-s]: Rarrrrgh!
GOKU: Man, good for them! I'm gonna go over there right now and congratulate 'em--
TRUNKS: I'm from the future!
GOKU: ...For realsies?
TRUNKS: For "realsies"...
GOKU: Whoah.
TRUNKS: Listen. Three years from now, on the 12th of May at approximately 10 AM, on an island nine miles off of South City⊠...two creatures will appear. A pair of man-made monstrosities; half-human, half-machine⊠...crafted by a mad scientist from the now defunct Red Ribbon Army.
GOKU: (gasp) Androids?!
TRUNKS: Actually, the technical term is cyborgs--
GOKU: Androids!
TRUNKS: Look, my point is, they're dangerous. Each of them, on their own, dwarf even Freeza with their power!
GOKU: And...?
TRUNKS: And they kill *everyone*. As in Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu...! The only ones that survive are myself, my mother, and Gohan.
GOKU: Oh, wow (!) Wait, you didn't mention Yamcha.
TRUNKS: Oh... uhm... I mean, he dies, but⊠See, after he found out that my mother was pregnant with Vegeta's child, he sort of...
GOKU: Dark. Wait, what about me?!
TRUNKS: I don't know how to tell you this, but⊠You don't make it to the battle either; you die of heart failure the year before.
GOKU: What?! Why?! How?!
TRUNKS: High cholesterol.
GOKU: From what?!
TRUNKS: According to the coroner, too much bacon.
GOKU: You take that back.
TRUNKS: But listen! In the future, my mother has developed medication that will help level your cholesterol.
GOKU: Is it grape-flavored?
TRUNKS: I don't know, yes?
GOKU: 'Cause I don't like grape.
TRUNKS: Then it's bacon-flavored!
GOKU: Yay...!
TRUNKS: Well, now that we have all that settled, I better get back to the future.
TRUNKS: It was... interesting to meet my Mom and Dad. As I said before, I really need you to keep that a secret! One little slip-up, and I suddenly may not exist.
GOKU: Wait, but if you don't exist, then you don't come back in time⊠...but then you could never tell me, which means I'd never know, you'd still be born, andâ Why does everything smell like copper?
TRUNKS: I tentatively leave this in your hands, Goku. Train well! Until we meet again!
GOKU: Oh, okay! Goodbye Trunks! What a nice young lady. Now, to get my story straight...
KRILLIN: Goku! What was *that* all about?!
GOKU: You guys! Androids!
KRILLIN: Yeah...? And...?
GOKU: Uhm⊠On... Mar--
PICCOLO: May.
GOKU: May! Twenty--
PICCOLO: Twelfth.
GOKU: May 12th! At 10... PM--
PICCOLO: AM.
GOKU: AM! Nine miles?
PICCOLO: Nine miles.
GOKU: Nine miles off of⊠North--
PICCOLO: Souuuth...
GOKU: South City! Two Androids will appear on May 12th at 10 AM nine miles off of South City!
PICCOLO: In three years, I heard everything.
GOKU: Please don't tell everybody!
PICCOLO: Oh-ho-ho, I won't!
NAIL: 'I will.'
PICCOLO: Shut up, Nail.
GOKU: 'Kay.
PICCOLO: According to the kid, we all die to these Androids in the future. We have three years to train before they arrive.
VEGETA: Well maybe they'll kill all of *you*, but I'm not afraid of any over touted washing machines. By the time they show up, I'll crush them without a thought! And then we'll see--
GOKU: Oh, hey Vegeta! Nice shirt!
VEGETA: I...! You--!
GOKU: Pink is a good color on you!
VEGETA (Mentally): 'Just take the compliment...'
GOHAN: Ah!
YAMCHA: Hey! There he is!
TRUNKS: Well, it's time for me to leave. I'll see you all again in three years your time. But hopefully, you won't need me. Father, I hope to get to know you a little better next time. MotherâŠ
I hope to get to know you a little less.
VEGETA: Get the hell out of here!
[Tardis sound effects]
GOKU: By the way, I can teleport.
KRILLIN: What?
GOKU: Yup! Check it!
KRILLIN: But... aren't those...?
MASTER ROSHI: Goku just done stole me glasses! ["Sex Bomb" plays in the background]
YAMCHA: Master Roshi's on the whole other side of the *world*!
GOKU: Yup, yup! I just got to imagine him and "poof" - there I go! I learned it out in space.
KRILLIN: Oh yeah, sort of forgot the obvious question there but HOW DID YOU SURVIVE?!
GOKU: Mmmmm-Muffin Bu--
GOHAN: Don't say Muffin Button!
GOKU: But it *was*! There's science 'n' stuff! See, while I was on Freezer's shipâŠ
FLASHBACK GOKU: *There*! YES!! Yaaaaaaaâ
{BOOOOOM}
But when the planet exploded, the muffins actually formed a seal around me; both protecting me, and feeding me...
[Flashback pauses]
GOKU: ...all the way to Yardrat!
GOHAN: And that is...?
GOKU: The place where I crashed.
[Flashback resumes] GOKU: The Yardies were awfully nice.
[Yardrats are gaggling]
GOKU: They nursed me back to health, and even made a ship for me to come home in!
[Flashback ends] GOKU: They also kept feeding me their sick. So now, I can teleport!
YAMCHA: So, i-if you can teleport, and you knew Freeza was coming⊠...why didn't you teleport to Freeza's ship and stop him?!
GOKU: Well, I kinda wanted to give you guys a chance!
PICCOLO: *Please* don't make a habit of that.
GOKU: No promises.
TIEN: Looks like we'll have to put ourselves through the training of our lives if we hope to stand a chance against these Androids.
BULMA: Wait! We don't have to do any of that! Hear me out⊠We just have to gather the Dragon Balls, have the Dragon tell us where to find the guy who's making the androids, find him, then murder that son of a bitch in cold blood!
VEGETA: As much as I love the phrasing of that, I'm gonna have to say no. And by no, I mean hell no!
BULMA: Are you kidding me?! You heard Piccolo; none of you survive!
VEGETA: And I, as a Super Saiyan, *relish* the challenge!
GOKU: (Gasp)...You're a Super Saiyan, Vegeta?! Show me!
VEGETA: I... well... yeah, I just... I--
TIEN: Don't tell me, you're not in the mood.
VEGETA: What, does that third eye make you psychic?
TIEN: No, but it does help me see bullshit.
VEGETA: Hey, y'know what...?! F*ck you.
GOKU: You know, to be fair, I'm with Vegeta on this one! I wanna fight me some Androids! I haven't had a good fight since Freezer!
GOHAN: Wait, so, the first thing we do after you get back, after being gone for a *year and a half*... ...is train.
GOKU: I know, I'm excited too!
GOHAN: Yeah, okay...
KRILLIN: Welp, guess that settles that! I'm off to go fire Kamehamehas at the ocean over and over!
TIEN: See you all in three years. Good to have you back, Goku.
CHIAOTZU: We're gonna go get McDonald's!
YAMCHA: Suppose we'll get movin' on, too! Come on, Bulâ
GOKU: Wait, Yamcha?
YAMCHA: Yeah?
GOKU: You're my friend.
YAMCHA: Oh, uh... heh... thank you, man.
GOKU: So~...wanna go drive cars?
PICCOLO: Bitchin'!
GOKU: â« I'm on a highway to HFIL! â« On a highway to HFIL! â«
NARRATOR: And thus, they went their separate ways to prepare for the upcoming threat! However, a few of them would find... roadblocks.
CHI-CHI: LIKE HELL YOU WILL!!
GOKU: Oh, come on, Chi-Chi!
CHI-CHI: Don't you "Come on Chi-Chi" me!
[Goku laughs nervously]
CHI-CHI: You're gone off in God knows where space, refuse to let the Dragon take you home, and the first thing you ask for when you get back: "Oh hey, Chi-Chi. Mind if I take our baby boy to go train to FIGHT SOME MONSTER ROBOTS"?!
GOKU: Androids. And the first thing I asked about was dinner.
CHI-CHI: THE ANSWER IS NO!
GOKU: No to dinner, or no to Gohan?
CHI-CHI: NOOOO!!
GOKU: Aw, but Chi-Chi~! Don't be like that! Be a pal!
CHI-CHI: (Screaming)
GOKU: Oh my gosh!
GOHAN: Dad, run!
GOKU: What?!
GOHAN: The worst she can do is ground me, now RUN!
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Vegeta found ways to innovate his training.
DR. BRIEF: 500 times Earth's gravity?! That's insane! You'd be crapping out your own spine!
VEGETA: I know, the challenge excites me. Look at my nipples. LOOK AT THEM!
DR. BRIEF: Fine, I'll build you your ship. What's the worst that could happen anyway?
DR. BRIEF: Hm? SCRATCH: Meow?
VEGETA [o-s]: AH! MY NIPPLES!
GOKU: *Wow*, he *really* needs to learn how to do--
PICCOLO: Yeah, I know, still working on that. By the way, how'd you convince your wife to let him train with you?
GOKU: We're on a field trip to the... Ozarks⊠Please never tell her we were here.
PICCOLO: What are you talking about? We're just studying.
GOKU and PICCOLO (together): Ohhhhhh...!
PICCOLO: Let's go drive cars again.
GOKU: Yaaaay!
BULMA: Are you f*cking insane?!
VEGETA: No, but you're upside-down. Now you're not.
BULMA: You know, it would be easier to count the amount of your ribs that *aren't* broken!
VEGETA: Work through the pain...!
BULMA: And exactly how are you going to work when your body collapses?
VEGETA: Please, the Prince Of All Saiyans does not colla-aaapse IRGH-ir...!
BULMA: Oh, look at that! The prince of all *two* Saiyans on the ground!
VEGETA: Three and a hal-- tch! Shut up!
BULMA: Oh no! The prince is getting all huffy! What are you gonna do? Try to blow up Earth again? Because I have Goku on speed dial.
VEGETA: You must be as stupid as he is if you think he knows how to work a phone!
BULMA: Don't you call me stupid!
VEGETA: Okay, then how about "bitch"?!
BULMA: Arrogant dick!
VEGETA: Spoiled sow!
BULMA: F*ck you!
VEGETA: F*ck you!
BULMA: F*ck you!
VEGETA: F*CK YOU!
BULMA: My room, ten minutes.
[Scene change]
VEGETA: [Repetitive grunts] BULMA: Oh yeah, that's it, keep going, right there, right there~,
VEGETA: [Repetitive grunts] BULMA: Oh yeah, that's it, keep going, right there, right there~, yes,
VEGETA: *Galick*... *Gun*... *FIRE*~!!! BULMA: yes... *yes*... *YES*~!!!
BULMA: Oh...
VEGETA: Haaa...
BULMA: *wow*...
VEGETA: yup...!
BULMA: whew!
BULMA: Gotta admit... even with the broken ribs you really...
BULMA: wait...
VEGETA: What?
