It's Over 9000!

It's Over 9000! is a particularly famous change made for the English localizations of the Dragon Ball Z episode "The Return of Goku" (and its unedited counterpart, "Goku's Arrival") that was spoken by Vegeta's original English voice actor, Brian Drummond in the Ocean dub of the series. It has since become a popular internet meme that spread across YouTube, with the original video clip getting over 15 million views and spoofs of the clip getting a large number of views as well.
==Overview==
Originally posted on October 17, 2006, the meme was started by user Kajetokun. It shows Vegeta angrily crushing his scouter several times while repeating "It's Over 9000!!!" in response to Nappa's questioning of Goku's power level. The meme has spread across the world, with the video having received millions of views and is even referenced in certain games of the series, like Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
In most versions, Vegeta actually says "It's over 8000!" However, even in the Remastered Uncut Funimation dub, Vegeta still says "It's over 9000!", now performed by Christopher Sabat. However, fans complained about the Funimation version lacking the drama and energy in the original version. They also complained about Christopher Sabat's voice being too calm sounding for the scene, unlike Brian Drummond's, which had a lot of anger in it.
It is possible for over 9,000 to be correct, since it is over 8,000. This has occurred several other times where power levels are given more as estimates than accurate figures. For instance, Gohan's retaliation against Nappa is given as over 2,800, and Frieza's power level is given as "over one million!". Later on, Frieza claims his power level is only 1% of his full power, when in actuality, it is 10% of his maximum power according to Daizenshuu 7. Despite such, however, Vegeta has a given power level of being 18,000 to which, Goku with Kaio-ken of at least 3x would be above, making Goku the superior in their fight. However, the opposite is shown making it near impossible for Goku to actually have a power level figure above 9,000.

==Notable references to the meme==
In addition to being referenced in future English Dragon Ball media, the Over 9,000 meme has been referenced in numerous other venues.
===In other Dragon Ball media===
*The book Dragon Ball Z 'It's Over 9,000!' When Worldviews Collide by Derek Padula, explains the Over 9,000 meme's full history and relevance in pop culture, while providing a complete psychological analysis of Goku and Vegeta's colliding worldviews.
*Dragon Ball Z Kai has two separate dubs of the line: the edited TV version (aired on Nicktoons and The CW's Toonzai block) stating "it's over 9000", while the uncut home video version (also shown on Adult Swim's Toonami block) has the correct "it's over 8,000".
*In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Vegeta again says "It's Over 9,000", as in the English dub of the anime. The game was localized by Funimation, based on their version of the anime.
*The meme was directly referenced during the trailer for the Dragon Box. Vegeta, who presents the trailer says, "Can you feel the Dragon Box's power? It's Over 9000!"
*TeamFourStar, as part of their abridged series of Dragon Ball Z, had a minor running joke of seemingly avoiding saying the infamous "9000" line. In one instance (during a trailer promoting episode 9 of the abridged series), Nappa scolds Vegeta for not doing the line correctly, saying "8000" instead of "9000", though Vegeta retorts that he did. (Referencing the proper "Over 8000" translation). In episode 9, where the fourth wall-breaking Nappa is blatantly goading Vegeta into delivering the line, Vegeta's scanner reads Goku as having a power level of 1,006, later realizing he had his scouter upside down after Nappa is beaten badly. When he does carry out the line, it is in a completely deadpan manner, crushing the scouter with a completely indifferent, bored "Rah." grunt. When asked why he sounded so bored, Vegeta merely replies that Goku is still not a threat to him. The "proper" line was finally delivered in Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged, a gag clip summarizing the entire Saiyan story arc within a few minutes.
*In the PlayStation 3 version of Ultimate Tenkaichi, the name of the platinum trophy obtained by collecting all other trophies is "OVER 9000!!!!"
*The trophy gained for unlocking all achievements in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is called "Over 9000".
*A Toonami promo for Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters features a clip from the Cell Games Reenactment of Fake Vegeta (voiced by Nick Landis/Lanipator of Team Four Star using his abridged series voice for Vegeta) saying, "His coolness is over nine-thousand!" as Fake Mr. Satan fights Fake Cell.
*In the second chapter of Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha, upon the reincarnated Yamcha's arrival to the battlefield Nappa asks what his power level is and Vegeta states that "It's Over 10,000!".
*In the episode "I Will Defend the World! Trunks' Furious Burst of Super Power!", in the scene which Vegeta explains why they couldn't have defeated Goku Black and Future Zamasu, Vegeta says that Black's power "is more than 8000", a direct reference to "It's over 9000!" meme. This only happens in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of Dragon Ball Super.
===Other popular comedic Dragon Ball videos===
Other popular videos involving the Dragon Ball series include others by Kajetokun such as, "The Balls Are Inert", "THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO DIE", "I HOPE MY BODY CAN TAKE IT" and "IF THEY SET THAT ANDROID FREE, IT WILL BE THE END OF ALL OF US! NOOOOOO!" There are also videos by other users exploiting funny scenes from different movies such as Future Trunks' $30 hair cut in movie #7, Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!, young Gohan saying he wanted to be an orthopedist but cutting out "ortho" and "t" ;to make it sound like "pedis", and even one about King Kai saying the "F" word. Though it is clearly explained that King Kai said "talk" because he made "t" sound like "th" which sounded like "f". It is not edited. There are also a series of videos known as "Alternate Reality Dragon Ball Z" and "Dragon Ball Z Abridged", which have gained critical acclaim. Of course, there are many videos like these, all which receive thousands of views and have become common jokes around the globe.
The "Over 9000!" meme is also referenced in , , Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, , , and in the sketch "Grey's in Anime" in the TV show MAD.
===In non-Dragon Ball related media===
*The meme is commonly spoofed in YouTube viral videos. One particularly famous reference occurred on . Someone posted on the Oprah.com message boards claiming to be part of a pedophile network that "has over 9,000 penises, and they're all raping children." Oprah famously read the message out loud on her show, believing it to be true. This incident became known as "Oprah 9000".
*In LittleKuriboh's "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series", the stinger for the end of Episode 14 featured the meme, with Weevil Underwood as Nappa and Rex Raptor as Vegeta - Noah's Life Point counter shows 9,300.
*In Issue 22 of the Sonic Universe comic series, Marine the Raccoon guesses Omega's weight to be over 9,000. This is rather fitting as Omega is a robot with a multitude of hidden weapons.
*In the Cartoon Network series MAD, in the skit "Grey's in Anime", Meredith Grey tells Dr. Owen Hunt (both characters from Grey's Anatomy) "His heart rate is over 9000!" with Owen replying "What? Over 9000!? That's impossible! I'm gonna have to power up to Super Surgeon!" Upon saying this, the doctor's hair becomes that of a Super Saiyan, and his shirt disappears. This episode also makes reference to other manga and anime series, like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon.
*In Carbot Animations' "StarCrafts" cartoon parody series of the PC game, StarCraft II (Wings of Liberty/Heart of the Swarm), in Season 2, Episode 11, "Power Overwhelming", when the High Templar and Dark Templar merged to become an Archon, a Terran Marine scanned it with his helmet; it read "9000+" before it shattered.
*There is a reference in the game World of Warcraft. A player who gains 9000 achievement points gains the achievement "It's Over Nine Thousand!"
*In , there is an unlockable Highlight ProTag called "Over 9000". It reveals an icon of a bag that has an obvious resemblance to the Four-Star Dragon Ball. This can be gained by receiving over $9000 in lifetime earnings in the game.
*In , the famous "Over 9000" meme is referenced after the "Triple Wave Armor" is unlocked. The description for this is "Surprisingly, funneled Electroshock capacitor energy at the right frequency through both Wildfire and Sludge Mk. 9 armor parts created a recursive feedback loop that dramatically increased the potential peak power output, nearly into the Petagigawatt range. As one Gadgetron research scientist famously reported, "It's over nine thousaaand!!!"
* makes a reference to the Over 9000 meme when one of the posters in the city says, "Over 9000 clubs".
*The Over 9000 meme is also featured in and : if "Over nine thousand" is written, then a monocle (in reference to Vegeta's scouter) is offered.
*In Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, in the gallery of concept artworks for the television show, the description for the concept art of Knuckles' fantasy in "Dude, Where's My Eggman?" mentions that Knuckles' power level might be over 9000.
* also features the well-known meme.
*In Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, when you talk to a character named Sal Manella he'll say, "IT'S OVER 9000!".
