Favorite Dragon Ball Gut Punch?!

Post by HybridSaiyan » Mon Aug 01, 2016 6:06 pm

Yes, though DB to GT (including movies), What is your personal favorite gut punch that left you feeling the pain yourself! :lol:

I always thought the Punch Goku gave Piccolo looked so bloody painful!

Image

Another personal favorite I always remember is Trunks punching through kogu's gut!

Image

I wish this was the Trunks in Super! ^ :problem:

These two are always great.

You can just feel the pain and impact on their faces, especially on Freeza's in the second one.

Without a doubt, my favorite is the one Goku does to Nappa. Part of it is him running and appearing on top of Nappa's head. He was out to humiliate Nappa

Close! I have the one where Coola knees him in the face.

I'll get on a few GIFs here. :wink:

Gokuu's gut punch to Vegeta in their first fight. That was brilliant and Vegeta's expression was priceless.

The piccolo punch that you mentioned hybrid saiyan is my favorite by far. It's a really unique one in the series. The expressions in both their faces are phenomenal and I also enjoy the stance Goku has.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Doctor posted the manga version of it, so here's the anime version:

You can just feel that punch in your stomach when you see it.

More of a knee. Anyway, I'm fond of the first one with Colonel Sliver.

Vegeta does in fact punch Gohan in the stomach in the Saiyan arc right before he tosses him next to a broken Goku.

I liked this one quite a bit, especially the way all the other villains reacted immediately afterward.

The anime version of this just doesn't do the moment any justice.

Here's a GIF I made a few years ago of the Piccolo gut punch from the first post:

Image

Also, it's not a "punch", but here Freeza gives Goku an extremely hard elbow to the gut, which stuns him and drops him to his knees:

There are two punches that come to mind: No. 17 and Piccolo exchanging those blows, taking their turns dealing damage and Boo mercilessly destroying Vegeta's core. The latter, in particular, has staying power and I felt Vegeta's anguish as he was stalling for Goku. It really sells the moment that he's lost the will to move and Mr. Satan is the only one who can save him. The former felt grueling; There were no more strategies to utilize, just two fighters at their wit's end, trying to make one another submit through pain.

I think he was talking about the Namek scene.
