Fight you? No, I wanna kill you.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Did he say "wanna" or was it "gonna"? I feel like "wanna" is cheesy.

Not really an epic line ,but definitely one I will always remember.From the german dub when Goku offers the Elder Kaioshin a pic of naked Bulma :

Vegeta: "Hey,mind if I interupt?Since when do you know life models?You´re not talking about Buma ,are you?"
Goku: "Ugh"
Vegeta:"ARE YOU CRAZY?!YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!GODDAMN IT!GIVE HIM A PICTURE OF CHICHI´S GAZONGAS IF YOU HAVE TO,BUT NOT ONE OF MY WOMAN!"

Neither. He says that he "plans," or "intends" to kill Buu.

In the dub, the conversation goes like this:
Buu: "So, hotshot. You want to fight Majin Buu?"
Gohan: "Fight you? No. I wanna kill you."

Also, I don't read the series in English or watch the series with subtitles. Only in Japanese. (I only watch it in English with the dub of Kai) so I don't know the official translations of these. But here's the lines and the way I'd translate them.

First:
Vegeta & Son during their first Fight wrote:べジータ: くっくっく...喜ぶがいいきさまのような下級戦士が超エリートに遊んでもらえるんだからな... サイヤ人は生まれてすぐ戦士の素質を検査される...そのときの数値が低いクズ野郎がきさまのようにたいした敵のいない星へ送り込まれるのだ... ようするにきさまは落ちこぼれだ...
孫悟空: そのおかげでオラはこの地球に来れたんだ感謝しなきゃな。 それによ... 落ちこぼれだって必死で努力すりゃエリートを超えることがあるかもよ。
べジータ: くっくっく...おもしろいじょうだんだ... では努力だけではどうやっても超えられね壁をみせてやろう...
Vegeta: You should be happy, I mean, a pitiful low-class warrior like you is about to get to be played with by a super-elite, now aren't you! Saiyans have our warrior abilities rated at birth. When that happens, the pitiful trash that are rated as inferior like you, are shipped off to stars [planets] that lack any seriously strong opposition. What I'm saying is, you're just an outcast!

Son Goku: But that's the reason I was sent to this Earth wasn't it? In that case, I'm thankful for that. But also, Even an outcast could overcome an elite if he works hard [desperate] enough for it!

Vegeta: What a fun little joke. Well then, just let me show you a wall you cannot scale, regardless of how hard you work!
This is really one of SEVERAL examples of what is wrong with the original Z Dub. It INFURIATES me that they messed up this line... If you read it above, Vegeta is clearly saying "I'm an elite and you're nothing but trash, so I'm gonna slaughter you now". The dub had him say something along the lines of (I'm going off of REALLY old memories of it) "You're pretty good though, and I'm in need of a new partner. Howabout you team up with me?" only to have Son make a REALLY STUPID JOKE about "Job Security"...
Achem...
Don't worry, Kai got it right a few years later.

Puto wrote:Same line as Codarik, but in the Japanese version:

"I am neither Gokû nor Vegeta. I am he who will defeat you!"
Came in here to say this, but I thought the line was actually

"I am neither Goku nor Vegeta, I am the one who will defeat you"

And the dub version didn't do it any justice at all.

One of my recent favorites is the line Vegeta says before transforming into a SSJ.

"Let me ask you, does a machine like you ever experience fear?"

Then the moment is kinda ruined by Gohan's Super Saiyan club joke. :roll:

FUNimation Goku's Super Saiyan speech to Freeza. Completely out of character but its my most memorable line from the dub...except like the whole episode of Trunks VS Mecha Freeza which i can recite almost every line (Thats kinda sad but its something that just stuck lol)

That line was pulled straight from the manga, I believe.

I generally agree though, that scene is done extremely well in the dub until that awful, awful "Super Saiyan Club" line ruins it.

Kuririn: "Goku, let me ask you something. Now that an enemy even more incredible than Freeza has appeared, are you scared? Or instead, are you happy?"

Goku: "...Both."

"Super Vegetto, so is that your official new name? *laughs* We have such great titles now don't we? 'Super Boo, Super Vegetto' we may as well just say we're invincible."

I'm not even a fan of the dub but this is some of the funniest improvised stuff I've heard in English DBZ.

Another good line is Vegeta's "がんばれカカロット...おまえがナンバ1だ!” ("You're really it Kakarott... you're Number 1!" ) Speech he makes during the battle with Boo.
This. The original is so fucking epic - the little speech and conversation and then the silence before the fight begins. One of the best DBZ moments for me. And yes, the dub totally ruins it. Even when they redubbed it for the remastered sets, they changed it again with Vegeta proposing partnership to Goku. Ridiculous. The first time I saw this speech dubbed correctly in English was in Tenkaichi 2 and it was pretty well done too.

Since many other people mentioned Movie 12's Gogeta line, I recall seeing it subbed like "I am not Goku, nor Vegeta. I am the instrument of your defeat." Sounds really cool.

The episode that first had SSJ Vegetto Vs. Gohan Buu, iirc. At the beginning of the episode.

"Heya! I'm Goku!"
I like how we could hear Goku talking with us on every single episode, even on the ones he hardly appeared.
Sorry, I can't speak English very well, but I'm trying my best.
