I think at least some of her anger is irrational.

Re: Most disturbing death
Not that I found this the most disturbing, but in DB movie 3, when Tao throws Bora into the spiked statue with all the spectators looking on including his SON(!!) is a pretty violent death.
Bora's whole midsection was pierced, through his rib cage, his intestines, and his heart; he was instantly killed. That is just brutal beyond belief (and it all happened so fast too!).

Re: Most disturbing death
I wouldn't categorize that as nerdy as much as girly. Gohan's anger wasn't irrational, he had every reason to make Cell suffer. Chichi gets pissed at Goku even though his body is broken, and hasn't seen him for a year.DBZAOTA482 wrote:She kinda was nerdy when she was younger (see her interactions with Yamcha and Goku), and when he went SSJ2, he wanted Cell to suffer before killing him despite seeing how villains tend to get when they're being showed up (see the battles against Nappa, Vegeta, Freeza).

Have nothing to say on the latter (not up for that right now you'd probably twist it around anyways) but what are the female characters if they're not headstrong idiots (except #18, which is why she's the best)?

Yours too?? I agree. I cringed when Bora died. It was very gruesome.Attitudefan wrote:Not that I found this the most disturbing, but in DB movie 3, when Tao throws Bora into the spiked statue with all the spectators looking on including his SON(!!) is a pretty violent death.

Although Babidi deserved it, it was uncomfortable to see Fat Buu kill him the way he did by punching his head.

Re: Most disturbing death
Did Gohan really toy with Super Buu? I just recall him mercilessly pummeling Buu a whole bunch (probably the best thing he could do in this situation) until Buu blew himself up. I guess you can say he should't have stood still and let Buu go on his a rant about his evil plans, but even if he didn't do that, nothing would change. Buu would still blow himself up and reform later.

To be fair. Even if he WAS(Which he wasn't) toying with Boo. Boo could just regenerate. I doubt Gohan could use a Masako or Kamehameha strong enough to destroy every atom of Boo.

Re: Most disturbing death
Yeah, he could. Killing Buu takes beating on him with physical attacks for a long period of time until he weakens (Gotenks, Vegetto, and Pure Buu were all about to do this), and/or hitting him with a large and overwhelming energy attack that takes every single bit of him with it (the Genki-Dama did this). Gohan was doing the right thing by punching him, as we've repeatedly seen just blasting or piercing him does nothing to Buu.TheGmGoken wrote:To be fair.

Re: Most disturbing death
most of what you guys have said:
the elderly couple (need i even explain? haha.)
Babidi (the fucker got what was coming to him, but that was intense as fuck. just that scene where his scrawny arms were grasping desperately at Buu...
)
the gunman (yeah just like Babidi, but that shit was intense. Plus this intense ass theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woHtuw_xtcc
human instinction attack... just brutal.
Krillin, creepy and sad as fuck.
What Babidi did to that Tournament guy.. yeah. nuff said.
but one i havent seen anyone mention, is Bee. animal violence, especialyl towards dogs sickens me, and that part where we got shot and basically died disturbs me.

Re: Most disturbing death
Probably Buu's dog in all honesty since I've always had a soft spot for dogs. I could watch humanoids get ripped to shreds all day but leave the dogs alone. 
If I had to go with a human death off the top of my head it would probably be Spopovich getting blown up. Not only did it look like an excruciating way to die but the thought of someone turning on you like that after being so loyal is always disturbing.
