The most epic song from Dragon Ball (in your opinion)

Post by Shiyonasan » Thu Oct 01, 2009 7:44 pm

I'm sure this has been posted on this message board before, but which song from Dragon Ball do you think is the most epic?

I'll have to go with Hikari no Tabi. I get chills almost every time I listen to that song.

Vegeta's Theme, mostly for the bells.

Unmei no Hi: Tamashi tai Tamashi, definitely, it's pretty epic.

Shiyonasan, you might be interested in the '96 version of Hikari no Tabi, it's pretty nice...

The one from Songs of a High Spirited Saga? I've listened to that one once or twice. Nice rendition of the song.

The male singer in that version reminds me of Vic Mignogna when he sings.

In terms of dramatically epic, the theme to Piccolo's death is pretty damn epic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s87FB0lsDMA#t=3m29s (the vocal version is even better). I've written quite a few in-depth posts about this sole piece of music. It's mah favorite.

Aitsu was Song Goku by the man, Hironobu Kageyama, is also extremely epic. I guess Cha-La Head-Cha-La is too, if only for what it is.

Definitely "Unmei no Hi ~Tamashii vs Tamashii~". It gives me chills every time I hear it, especially in the context it's used in the show. Kageyama really belts it out.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Some of Kageyama's video game openings from the past few years have also been pretty intense.

Totally agreed. Other songs would be higher on my overall "favorites" list, but because of its use and placement, nothing beats Unmei no Hi when it comes to "epic."

Defiantly SSJ3 Powerup. God, that scene is so epic.

The SSJ3 Power-Up, and the Dragon theme. The latter was always used for the perfect situations.

As well as Energy Disc
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Kiseki No Hono Hoyo Yo.
Just a brilliant Kageyama song, with an orchestral backing.
Fantastic.

Tapion Theme is great too, both the original and the dub. It's hard for me to pick a favorite between the two, but I'm more used to the original.

Unmei no Hi Tamashii vs Tamashii- always brings epic moments bubbling to the surface of my mind.
Solid State Scouter also moves me in an epic way, although perhaps a bit more "bouncy" epic if there is one because of the Electronic beat.
Kimi ga Hero Is well, about being a hero?
Um...and for good measure, Aitsu wa Son Goku. Because Goku is obviously epic.

(I can't choose just one,there are so many good image songs in my mind! :lol:)
