"Leave It To Freezer" is the eighteenth episode of Season 2 of Team Four Star's DragonBall Z Abridged and the twenty-eighth episode overall. It was first uploaded on YouTube on March 23, 2012. The disclaimer is read by a somewhat dying Vegeta, who struggles to read out the whole message.
Summary
"Vegeta, no!"
It is clear that Freeza's blast has left Vegeta on the brink of death, much to the horror of Goku and Gohan. Krillin is hopeful that Little Green can heal him, but remembers that this is no longer an option, and despairs. Unsurprisingly, Piccolo is unmoved.
Goku asks Vegeta if he is okay, but it is clear that the "f***ing hole" in his chest is causing problems. Vegeta asks Goku why he couldn't block that one, and Goku naively thought that Vegeta had it covered. Freeza is impressed that Vegeta is still talking, as he aimed for one of his lungs. At this, Vegeta coughs up a healthy pint of blood.
Vegeta starts to make a speech about Freeza and how he treated the Saiyans. Goku misunderstands the speech, believing that Vegeta wouldn't be evil if it weren't for Freeza. Vegeta disagrees, saying that if the situation were reversed, Vegeta would be laughing at Goku's death. He then reminds Goku that he is their race's last hope, and the last remaining Saiyan. Horrified at what this actually means, Vegeta gives up the ghost and dies.
Vegeta breathes his last
Goku appears moved by the loss of his former foe, and promptly gives him a proper burial, which Freeza mocks about the grave being too good for him. Freeza also believes that Vegeta, far from being at peace, has gone straight to hell. This leads Goku to recall his encounter with Goz and Mez, also known as the oiled up German guys, who tried to wrestle him.This leaves Freeza baffled. Goku declares that he must stop the child-killing monster that is Freeza, but the tyrant claims that killing potentially rebellious children is a kindness, and tries to wrong-foot Goku with a rhetorical question. However, Goku responds with "a rhetorical answer", and Freeza realizes what he's let himself in for. Can anyone survive the stupidity of Goku?!?
After the opening credits, Goku orders the other protagonists to leave him to fight alone. Piccolo is told to look after Gohan, or as he puts it, to "keep doing what I've been doing".
Freeza mocks this decision, claiming that "suicide is the coward's way out". This has no effect on Goku, who is anxious to fight. After the initial scrap, Goku realizes that Freeza can't sense his energy, and mocks him for it. Freeza reminds him that he can still hear the noisy moron, leaving Goku to believe that Freeza has "bat-vision". After a few glancing blows, Freeza fires a shot into the ground by Goku, who interprets this as a miss. Freeza tries to imply otherwise, but Goku is too dense to realize what is happening, and is promptly sent spiraling up in the air by molten lava. He claims that "his butt is flaming", and Freeza realizes how much he misses Zarbon.
After further nonsense-spouting by Goku, Freeza asks how Goku functions. Goku gives a stupid remark, "I pay my taxes one leg at a time". Freeza then decides that he is going to "drown him like a sack of dumb puppies", and smacks him into the water, giving him a much-needed bath. Goku then has an idea.
"Filthy monkey... meet General Mountain!"
He remembers that Freeza can't sense energy, and fires two Kamehameha beams to distract him, before attacking him from above and smashing him into the ground. This is considered his best idea he ever had, apart from the Double-Baconwich, which according to him is a sandwich with bacon instead of bread. Freeza shakes this off, and introduces the dim-witted Saiyan to "General Mountain". Goku tries to make friends with what is no more than a giant slab of rock, but quickly realizes that this friendship is doomed, and slices General Mountain in half. Freeza then turns Goku into a human pinball, posting a high score of 60 million on the leaderboard. However, Goku is left unshaken by this, and claims that it is no "Donkey Kong". Frieza appears to malfunction in amazement.
Hey! Remember Bulma? And how she got stranded by Gohan and Krillin and left to drink nothing but saltwater? Yeah, that was good. Anyway, back to the fight...
Freeza decides that he'll fight without using his hands, to which Goku claims he'll fight without using his shirt, missing the point yet again. Goku then manages to grab hold of Freeza's tail, thinking it is all a game (despite Freeza reminding him that he's trying to kill the Saiyan) and proceeds to spin him around at length. This causes Freeza to throw up, and the projectiled vomit winds up hitting Krillin, much to his despair.
Goku uses his instincts.
Suddenly, Freeza disappears, and then manages to catch Goku off-guard, by choking him with his tail. Freeza is delighted that Goku has run out of cute things to say, but Goku uses his instinct to chomp on Freeza's tail. This causes Freeza to punch Goku in the face. Goku is furious that Freeza broke the rules of the game, but remembers that he hasn't used his shirt, which must mean he wins. Freeza starts to snap, claiming that Goku has indeed won, and gets another bath as a treat. Goku is confused, giving Freeza time to submerge him once more. Our hero quickly loses consciousness, despite a brief consultation with his brain.
Vegeta tries to give Goku a pep-talk from beyond the grave, but seems to have lost his clothes. This confuses Goku, who not only kept his clothes, but managed to take his weighted armor with him. Vegeta again attempts a pep-talk, but quickly loses patience, tells Goku to use the stupid Kaio-Ken, and goes to get his clothes back from King Yemma.
Continuing to hold Goku under water, Freeza asks if Goku has any last words besides "gurgle, gurgle". At this, Goku unleashes a furious Kaio-Ken effect, which will surely beat Frieza once and for all!
Right? Right?
Oh. Oh dear. Kaio-crap, you might say, as Freeza smashes Goku to a pulp once more.
In the eye catcher, King Yemma orders everyone to strip. He is impressed by Recoome's physique.

Major Differences From The Original
- Vegeta never shed a tear as he laid dying and confessed to his life of slavery under Freeza.
- Vegeta spoke to Goku in his mind after his death, but in the original, he spoke to him while Goku was on the verge of defeat, and while he was about to drown beneath Freeza's foot, Goku had a vision of what would happen to Earth if Freeza won, leading him to clear the water around him.
Trivia

- This episode has probably the longest intro, at almost three minutes.
- King Yemma makes his first appearance since Episode 18.
- At 07:15, the shot of Goku is actually taken from Episode 22, when Vegeta leaves him to fight Ginyu alone.
- The high scores of pinball game are actually the power levels for Freeza, Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan, and Captain Ginyu during the first half of Goku's fight with Freeza. The music playing in this scene is the character selection screen from the SNES game Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2.
- Goku's brain sounds like Severus Snape from Potter Puppet Pals.
- Takahata101 again has no role in this episode, as at this stage, all his characters are DEAD.
