** Additionally, LK originally auditioned for Captain Ginyu before they casted him as Freeza. The same situation happened with Sean Schemmel before [=FUNimation=] casted him as Goku in the official dub.



* In Episode 22, Goku analyses Captain Ginyu and [[SarcasmMode wisely]] notes that [[CaptainObvious he is]] [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]]. Episode 45 of Dragon Ball Super has Goku make a similar analysis of [[EvilKnockoff Copy Vegeta]].

* The series features, unlike the canon series, [[VoicesAreNotMental Goku and Ginyu's voices staying in their proper bodies]], with Ginyu-As-Goku having a voice akin to a British accent. In ''Xenoverse 2'' and ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'', Sean Schemmel [[VocalEvolution altered the voice]] of Goku Black from his rougher, Super Saiyan 3-esque voice he initially had in his base form to one roughly similar to a British accent.
* Abridged Goku is well-known for his love of muffins. ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'' reveals that Goku doesn't actually care for dessert, something Team Four Star themselves commented on in their Let's Play.

* Part of why Team Four Star was so excited for adapting ''The World's Strongest'' was to let Master Roshi "Be a badass one last time." In ''Super'' Roshi ended up as one of the tournament fighters alongside the juggernauts of Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza, and puts up a hell of a fight you wouldn't expect from a human fighter who hasn't been relevant since OG Dragonball.

* Little Kuriboh originally auditioned for Ginyu for this series before the guys decided he was perfect for Freeza during the audition process. Back in 1999, this was the same character, as well as arc, that Sean Schemmel auditioned for when the official Z dub was being recast in Texas to continue the dub, only to be cast as Goku instead.

** LK's audition for Captain Ginyu landing him the role of Freeza gets rather poignant after ''Film/ShinKamenRider2023'' turned him into a massive ConvertedFanboy for tokusatsu and pulled him down a rabbit hole into the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' franchises that inspired the Ginyu Force.



** In ''Broly Abridged'', the subtitles refer to Vegeta as "King Vegeta II" after Paragus refers to him as King. An eerily similar thing happens in ''DBS: Broly'', when Paragus appears and reveals that Vegeta's father was known to him as Vegeta III, and as a result refers to Vegeta as Vegeta IV.

* On the meta side of things, during one of their in-character FAQ videos someone asks when the next episode will be and, after [[AnimalTalk Bubbles]] gives a long answer, [[SpeaksFluentAnimal King Kai]] responds with "Wow, incredible. I can't believe they schedule all the way through the Cell Saga." With the recent announcement that DBZA has officially ended, that joke from nearly 10 years ago becomes kind of funny given the final arc covered in the show. Also crosses over into HarsherInHindsight for those who actually wanted to see season four of ''DBZ Abridged'', regardless of the quality.
* In Super Android 13 Abridged, Trunks complains aloud why he even brought his sword when #14 catches it, before internally asking why he even carried his sword in the first place when he was just out shopping. ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' reveals that the reason he carries the sword around is for comfort.
* Much later in the ''Super'' manga, Vegeta gets his ''own'' unique form to match Ultra Insinct. As if calling back to ''this'' particular scene, he decides to name it Ultra '''Ego'''.

* In episode 58 Tien snarks to Vegeta by asking him how many Gokus he has beaten. In ''Super Hero'' Vegeta actually manages to get his first legitimate win against Goku in a friendly sparring match and unlike Tien, Vegeta also has the honor of never losing to Goku in a 1v1 fight.
* In episode 22 Guru noted to himself that if Nail was trained in the new ways of Namek warriors he might have a chance against Frieza. In ''Super Hero'' it is revealed that Namekians do have a way of using the power of the Dragon Balls to increase their power to massive heights, allowing Piccolo to be at the same level of Goku, Vegeta and Freeza after their power was amongst the gods.

I'm the only one?" with Vegeta shouting "Yes!" and internally thinking [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike 'He must never know']].

Gohan's excuse when Piccolo calls him out on this is the exact same as Goku's-- he can always just hoist all parenting duties onto Piccolo himself and continue neglecting his family to do what he loves.

* Similarly all the Piccolo CantCatchUp jokes get funnier in retrospect after his new power up. Goku says that Piccolo can become as strong as Vegeta is a lot less degrading and more funny after Vegeta got within throwing distance of Goku and Piccolo still caught up. On that note Piccolo despondently notes that Cell transformed twice after beating him, ''Super Hero'' has him transform twice and still get beaten by a Cell.
