What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
Dragon Ball is well known for its screaming in the anime, but which ones stand out to you the most (from any version)?
There's so many to choose from on the JP side, but I think I'll give it to Wakamoto as Perfect Cell, especially the very first one in this video.

The amount of raw power he puts into it is just incredible.

Goku going Ssj3 for the first time in pretty much any language. Toei and the various dubbing companies did a great job demonstrating that it was a power far beyond anything we had seen up to that point.

Gohan SSJ2 in Latin America. My favorite part is that Laura Torres adds a little "Sub-scream" before she launches the main one. Like "Ah! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Re: What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
Honestly? That really cool high pitched demonic scream Scott McNeil would sometimes do as Piccolo. Sounds awesome and otherworldly.
Re: What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
Absolutely any from Masako Nozawa.

Re: What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
Wakamoto in his prime had the best screams. The scream as Cell powers up to fight Gohan for real in Dragon Ball Z Episode #186 is so fucking good.
The screams to get #18's attention while she is hiding are also out-of-thids-world. He's just screaming for an entire episode!! Entire sentences!!

Its been a while since I watched clips of the Latin American version, but yeah these are great. Very jealous that SA got such a great dub of the anime.TheRed259 wrote: Thu Mar 26, 2026 11:38 am Almost everything below comes from a similar topic I created about 2 years ago.

Not just South America, North America and Central America too. Mexico is in North America.
Re: What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
All true.
Another I'm fond of is Kelamis' famous Kaioken scream from Movie 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM_eFZBAEnE
The Nozawa parallels are obvious and probably the closest we ever had an English Goku sounding like Nozawa's Goku. Kelamis was in general an underrated Goku, in my opinion. His performances in the Pioneer dubs of Movies 1-3 are great.

Re: What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
It would be hard to argue that anyone else even comes close to matching the level of intensity of Brian Drummond's Vegeta screams, especially in the season 2/early Namek era.

Scott Mcneil’s metal af scream at the beginning of the Ocean dub of Dead Zone
Re: What is your favorite scream in the franchise?
Criminal that Nozawa in Gohan's SS2 isn't atop everyone's list.
