The Historic moments of DBZ

Post by Golden Lockhart » Wed Apr 18, 2007 9:26 pm

You know, while watching the Japanese version of Dragonball z, The historic moments like Choazu sacrificing himself or Kuririn finding out the Yamucha is dead tends to get me emotional like it's supposed to. When I saw it in the library for the first time, I had a hard time not crying right there despite the fact no one was there. How did you feel when you first saw the historic moment of DBZ?

Well, I do tend to cry. Of course, I cry a lot during anime, so that's nothing new.

However, the scenes that do choke me up in DBZ aren't <insert character> dies, but more subtle scenes. For example, during the filler episode where the gang at Kame's place finds out that Yamucha is dead, I wept. Not because of Yamucha, not because of Bulma, but because of Pu'ar. And Oolong comforting him.

See, right before I watched that, I had just recieved and watched a copy of the first 13 eps of Dragonball, courtesy of our friends in Australia, Madman. It was so incredibly sweet seeing how Oolong and Pu'ar had gone from completely hating each other, to truly caring for each other, that it made me choke up. It wasn't much, and it was filler, but it was sweet, and it got me all choked up and weepy.

I became chocked up during the scene where Goku and Gohan were discussing the battle between Piccolo and Cell. It was just such a helpless fight and all the while the sad dub music was playing.Goku was acting all serious and nerve wrecked,Gohan was in despair. Especially when Gohan tried to run away from Goku and help Piccolo. Goku had to resort to knocking his own son over the head. Great filler scene (itself wasn’t filler but it being so dragged out was).

I only cried at the end montage of Dragonball GT. IT was the end of a series I'd known since I had use of reason, and it was over... for good. Seeing the different scenes from the show just got to me... So many adventures and good times, and now, it's all over.

The big one for me was always when Piccolo died protecting Gohan from Nappa's blast. The entire scene from when he rushes towards Gohan with the flashbacks of his training to his last breath has always gotten to me. It's one of the most touching and dramatic moments in the series in my mind.

For me it would be In GT again, the scene when the Dragon Balls are fused with Goku. The music and from that scene, the little remix of Dan Dan, was done so well.

Or if we're talking Z then obviously Gohan going Jin 2. Come on guys 'Unmei no Hi Tamashii VS Tamashii' need I say more.

Dragonball really never made me tear up. I kinda wish it did though. Maybe the emotional parts never really got to me. I do tear up for other shows though, like Naruto or FMA.

Jin 2 is slang for Super Saiya-Jin 2, something from my early days. Pretty straight forward.

The big two that get to me are Piccolo's sacrifice and Vegeta's plea to Goku before his death.

I never cried during Dragonball, unless they were tears of laughter during early DB. XD

I don't cry... I wait. :)

I did think the scene when Vegeta dies the first time was good. But Dragonball doesn't give the emotional feeling it should because of the ability to revive characters, it makes the deaths of the characters have little emotion for me.

I only felt sad during the ending of Dragonball GT.

Felt like my childhood was over.
