Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.
I have two, the first one would be in Cooler's Revenge when Goku goes super saiyan. Using Deftones - Changes made the moment very memorable in my opinion.
Another favorite of mine would have to be when gohan totally pisses piccolo off while he's meditating. Icarus and gohan dancing was great, and how mad piccolo got was hilarious! I loved it !
My third favorite was from The Dead Zone when gohan eats the apple and starts to trip balls! I didn't quite get that as a kid but as an adult i think it's hilarious !!!
Honestly? Broly turning into LSSJ for the first time. It's still an amazing scene but these days when I watch it, I always think 'And it's all down hill from here.'
But in a VERY close second. Bardock vs Freeza's Elite. It's just a fun fight, makes me want more stuff with Bardock. AT! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! BARDOCK SIDE STORY SPINOFF MANGA! Make it happen please?
Going on hiatus. Too much stuff in RL to deal with for me to keep up with posts here for now. Was fun, hope you all have a nice day and future! Volt signing off.
With the many years on the net I've spent...I've learned being polite takes you much further then being a dick. So...lesson here is! Don't be a dick!

Goku vs Beerus (Round 2).
IMO it's one of the best fights in the entire series, they fight around buildings, through a forest, at a wasteland, under the sea, through the clouds and almost in space. Also, the conversation between Goku and Beerus throughout the fight is very interesting. I would put a YouTube clip but pretty much every clip is either cropped, slowed down, sped up, flipped and all that other annoying crap.
Probably Goku's dragon fist to Hirudegarn, the line "fight me if you're ready to die" Goku said was badass and the pose he does in the sunlight was cool.
Probably my top favorite moment is a realitively simple one. I always loved in "Cooler's Revenge" how Goku protected Gohan from Cooler's death beam by shielding him with his own body. I'm a sucker for Goku and Gohan's relationship in general so any moment that emphasizes it, I tend to be drawn to.
The "Fat Gogeta" moment from "Fusion Reborn" also always makes me crack up.
We truly begin to live when we find something we're willing to die for
Probably the moment in movie 13 where Vegeta puts up a barrier around all the civilians in the office building. It felt remarkably in character for that point in the franchise and quite illustrated how much of a different person he has become. Not a great movie by any stretch, but as a moment it's very memorable.

Oh, this is hard. There's Goku and Wheelo, Goku and Cooler, Broly's transformation, Goku's "not-sure-if-want" when he realizes yellow Janemba is coocoo for Coco Puffs...
Tullece's cocky lackeys getting the crap kicked out of them singlehandedly by Goku.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Am I the only one who thought in that first part of that scene when Vegeta was getting made. The red shadow from the jelly was his anger gauge going up all Looney tunes style? I was expecting steam to shoot out of his ears!

I've always liked random moments in movies that nobody ever mentions, like the part in Tree of Might where Goku cuts Gohans tail off and catches him and stares at Tullece telling him this ends now or something. I'm stupid I know.
Battle of Gods. SSJ3 Goku vs Beerus. I know a lot of people like the 2nd fight more. But to me this is much more satisfying. I love how frustrated Goku gets and how completely outclassed he is. I don't think he's been this outmatched in a fight since he fought TaoPaiPai (in b4 Freeza). Also, I'm a sucker for those cliche anime moves that show how powerful a new enemy is (the finger flick that sends you flying and the neck chop that instantly knocks you out). I get hyped every time I watch that fight.
How do you get into the Ginyu Force? With a letter of RECOOMEndation!
Seriously that music just fits so perfectly for that film.
I don't know what it is, but I prefer seeing Tree of Might with the Ocean Dubbing! It must be the nostalgia behind it, I did after all begin watching DBZ with Ocean Dub on the VHS tapes!

Goku coming from the Other World to punch Bojack and thus, making Gohan open his eyes takes the cake.
It's my favourite moment from Goku too, be it canon or not.
