Goku getting Ultra Instinct in DBS #129. The silver glow, the GoDs all standing up, Jiren finally getting a taste of his own medicine, the epic UI theme and finally the silver glow slowly peeling away to reveal Goku in UI! So epic.

1. Gohan SSJ2
2. GT's Ending
3. Goku SSJ

Honorable mention: Freeza impales Kuririn (DBK Widescreen Ver.)

Classic Dragon Ball has so many great moments but these are my three faves. As far as Modern Dragon Ball goes? I'll probably start liking it a bit more after DB Super Movie 1 is out. Really excited to watch that.

It's kind of cheating to call it a "scene", but I'll just say the entire fight between the heroes and Vegeta. The series never at any point before or after conveyed such a sense of tension, brutality, and desperation, and likely never will again.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Those first two were from FUNi's Kai dub by how you described it. Anyway, what did God say to Piccolo about Cell?

Not sure in which order these would be on a given day, but the ten that come to mind are:

- The death of Bardock
- The death of Vegeta (Freeza Saga, and this includes his plea to Goku)
- Gohan turns SSJ2
- Piccolo sacrifices himself for Gohan
- Gogeta vs. Janemba
- Gohan teaching Videl and Goten to fly
- Future Trunks first appears
- Vegeta brutalizes the punching machine at the Budokai qualifier (it's funnny, OK!?)
- The short but sweet sequence of the Z Fighters vs. Turles's minions
- Gohan defeats Cell

It was about the tension in the scene more than what he said , he was just explaining that there was a threat far greater than the andriods , I liked that scene

Mine's a really odd one. It's the filler-only scene after Goku departs from Jingle Village. In the original Japanese version this is where the Son Goku Song plays (one of my favourite insert songs), but what originally landed this scene here is the FUNi dub's version. Here, the insert song was removed and the Narrator comes in and says

"Having been reunited with his old friend the Flying Nimbus, Goku continues his search into the unknown. And over every mountain he passes, every ocean he crosses, Goku finds continual delight in the simple wonders of a world still very new to him"

For me, that narration perfectly sums up why I love the RRA saga so much. Despite seeing a lot in the first two arcs, Goku is still discovering the world outside of Mount Paozu. Despite the Red Ribbon Army, he's still a happy little boy who is much more interested in following the sun than defeating galactic evil. And of course he still has so much more of the world to see.
