I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

It's when Vegeta knocked out Goten and Trunks before he fought Majin Buu.

You beat me to it. This image perfectly reflects my feeling towards Goten.

Vegeta punching Zarbon through the stomach looked pretty brutal in the manga. The anime version of it looked like crap.

I used to like gut punches.

Burst Limit ruined that for me.

You know, it's horrible when adults abuse children....but....there's just something about Vegeta gut punching Goten that is just so pleasing. :lol:

Also, I totally approve of the epic gut punch Super Vegeta gave Semi-Perfect Cell. Perfect way to end that particular episode.

Am I the only one that's actually defending Goten in this case? Sure, he's as dim (if not, more) than his dear old dad, but, that hit gotta be enough to break through a freaking spinal cord.

...Now, is it just me, or was Vegeta trying to kill him that time?

At the time Goten did look like the splitting image of Goku but smaller, so maybe subconsciously Vegeta hit him a little harder than he should have. Or maybe he really just didn't like Goten.

Some little shit barely out of diapers does what it took your entire adult life, death, resurrection and pushing yourself to the brink of dying again over and over to do? I'd fuck him up too.

Or you'd just realize how much you suck and how inferior you are to that child.

I like Goten (and kid Trunks) quite a bit.

It took the great Goku until he was a fully grown man, had died once, and trained under insane conditions to reach that goal as well. So Goku is inferior to Goten?

I don't care about Goten one way or the other, but that picture is very amusing since that punch just looks so.....crisp.
Not a problem.

In which case I'd still fuck him up, then possibly kill myself.

This Goten-bashing came out of nowhere! :shock:

I do have to admit though, that is one of the best in the series.

Although, you guys are forgetting about one of the best gut punches in the metaseries.

Those are the ones I can best remember off the top of my head. Maybe it was because those episodes got replayed so much, but they were pretty rough :)

Another one that I can remember that kinda made you go "Ooh!!" was when Vegeta killed Butta with his knee. (At least I think that's how it went down...)

I'm no good at scans or screenshot finding :( Anyone want to refresh my memory of that one?

The Butta one was in the neck though, not in the gut.

My personal favourite:

Bah, now I want to go through the manga and find them all.

At least ten punches to the gut in .66 seconds.
