My favorite line is when Vegeta screams, "I... I am... I am the greatest in the universe!" Horikawa nailed this line so well! This line is from the fight between Goku and Vegeta, after Goku used his Kaioken x3 attack.

I love it so much, here's a clip from the scene. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaC3RNSuJ2o

Great thread.
One of my all time favourites is when Android 16 screams : "That is not Piccolo" to Android 17.

3:19 . Spine tingling delivery. It's what the English version misses the most.

Anything Goku says to Gohan and Gotenks during the Kamehameha finale vs. Brolly. The delivery is mesmerizing.

3. Vegeta's scream when 18 breaks his arm. You can really feel that it's more than physical pain he's feeling. It's as if his entire world just came crashing down.

It's funny. I grew up all over and was too young to appreciate the Japanese original when I was 4 years old living in Japan. After arriving to Canada, I found nothing wrong with the dub. As an adult, anything outside of the Buu dub, and the Remastered Saiyan/Namek arcs, the rest of the dub sounds terrible with Kikuchi's music I feel. It's hard to explain, but Faulconer's tracks at least complimented or "hid" the over the top English voices. They don't sound natural at all when there's no music playing.

When I finally bought the Remastered sets in College, I was actually blown away. I hate reading subtitles too.

I love a lot of lines, but I think I'll just focus on a small line here. In Dragon Ball Z episode #188, Wakamoto really nailed his reaction to Gohan's "Che, omae wa mou owari da na." For a guy in his forties, Wakamoto could really hit those intense screams like a pro. The level of pure rage in Wakamoto's performance is perfect. Wakamoto tended to be able to add a degree of childish-ness to the end of his screams and I think it's really well done on the "YURUSANAI!!!"
