Scenes That Parallel Each Other

How many scenes are there in the franchise that look like they parallel each other?

I just found one today and it made me think of this.

Here is what I am talking about:

There was one panel in the latest chapter of DBS that had Vegeta and Goku both emulate the poses they did right before their fight in the Saiyan saga.

Didn't Gohan and Buu (gotenks absorbed) do the same thing or was that an anime only thing?

From one of my favorite old threads. Some of the images don't work anymore, but there's still plenty left over for reference.

There are these ones. And if I remember correctly, Gohan and Vegeta also have their "walking toward" their enemies.

Vegeta kills Tomaga/Ginyu the same exact way he kills Pui Pui in the Buu saga.

Except didn't he just use one hand this time?

It was an anime only thing.

Well the cross counter is a very well-known thing that didn't originate with DB.

Of course. But the particular framing and parallels are highly likely to be throwbacks in these cases.

I really like this one, if for no other reason than it shows two similar scenes drawn incredibly well in completely different styles.

That's one of the things I noticed with films that were part of long-running franchises in 2015, some of them had quite a few "throwback shots" where they basically do a similar shot or moment that happened in one of the classics. Mad Max Fury Road did it a bit like when it had Max threatening someone with an unloaded shotgun or playing that music box, Star Wars The Force Awakens had Rey trying to get a lightsaber out of the snow with the force and DB Resurrection F had a load of shots and moves that seemed to be calling back to scenes from the past

for example

I don't know if it was done on purpose but the whole ray beam scene in Revival of 'F' is quite similar to what we see in the manga during the fight against Piccolo :

I always assumed that one was. It seemed very clear when I did my Dragon Ball rewatch over the summer.
