Most violent moments in Dragonball

Post by Jermyn » Sun Nov 19, 2006 3:50 am

What do you think was the most violent moments in Dragonball were? Here's my list.
Goku ripping a big hole in Piccolo Daimaō's chest.
The Goku vs Piccolo Jr. fight.
Goku and Raditz getting hit by Piccolo's Makankosappo attack.
Nappa chopping off Tienshinhan's arm.
Dodoria killing a group of Nameks.
Zarbon's death.
Freeza impaleing Krillin on his horn.
Freeza torturing Gohan
Freeza beating up Vegeta and killing him.
19 and 20 killing a buch of people.
17 kick off 20's head and crushing it.
Cell sucking people up with his tail.
Babidi killing Spopovitch
Buu smashing Babidi's head in.
Buu shooting down a man's thraot and make him explode.
Buu killing all the people on Earth with his Great Genocide Attack.
Baby get inside Dr. Myuu and ripping him apart from the inside out.

Uh . . . well, it's great that you can list so many, but I think for a thread like this it might be better to just choose two or three to start and then let other people have a turn. We want some violence too, you know-- and here you've pretty much singled out just about every bloody (no, I'm not trying to be cute; I mean "bloody" in the very British way) moment in the series, there.

In short, lists kinda suck. But then, that's just my opinion.

I'm going to choose this one, except I'll exchange it for the manga version. Dodoria was indeed brutal, but the death of an innocent child at the hands of Freeza exposes the darkest depths of his cruelty and just might be more vicious and horrific a sight than all the blood in DBZ combined.

Most violent moment in my opinion...the two gunmen that cause Buu's evil/good separation sniping an innocent elderly couple for no reason. I think the dub named them Vanslat and Smitty, those two psychos got exactly what they deserved at "Pure Evil"/"Super" Buu's hands. Second most violent; Spopovitch's merciless assault on Videl, she was just brutalized to the point where she was getting teeth knocked out and her abdomen and skull constantly being battered. It's a wonder she had Pan after that torture.

Oh, crap! I nearly forgot about those two gunmen. Okay, so it's a tie for me. I almost guarantee it's going to make me sound like a wuss, but when they shot poor Bee I found myself holding back tears.

Too me it would have to be when Nappa was reigning all hell on the gang, with Tien and Chiaotzu giving it all they had which in the end killed them, and Piccolo sacrificing himself for Gohan, it was so sad to see so much effort put into destroying what seemed an invincible force (at least until Goku showed up :lol:)

hmm a familiar theme with this thread.

Imo, the most violent scene in Dragonball was when Broly grabs Son Gohan's head with his hand, and slides his face across the wall of a broken down building in movie 8.

I will take Freeza impaling Krillin on his horn, since Freeza just laughed and twist his horn in Krillin body, that was just wrong.

In the manga, I'd have to go with the kick assery that was the death of the Cell Juniors.

In the anime, Videl's fight with Supopovitch makes my stomach hurt everytime I see it, so...I'll go with it...
I really, really need to get back into the habit of posting.

Gohan vs Cell Juniors. Nothing more needs to be said. :)

Except for "flying braiiiiiinssss!"

Piccolo blasting a hole through Goku's chest, then ramming that hole with his elbow. *shiver*

How about Oozaru Vegeta squeezing the life out of Goku. I thought that was pretty violent too. Not to mention that he STEPPED on Goku. :shock: That's gotta hurt.

Actually, let's just go with the whole damn Vegeta fight.

I'd have to say when Goku returned for a rematch with King Piccolo and killed what's his face with that kick. I also thought Gohan killing the Cell Jrs. in the anime was pretty great too. Videl vs. Spopovich is a runner up.

Dodoria shoving his arm through that Namek warrior was pretty bad; granted he's not the first (or last) villian to dispatch someone like that, but it seemed especially wet and gory when he did it.

Not exactly violent, but when Cell threw up 18 it seemed pretty sickening to me.

Piccolo's chestwound > elbow hit sequence was ... brutal. Instead of just beating the crap out of Goku, he made it as painful as possible.
And hey... Videl broke Spopovich's neck! That's rather violent! XD. To the extent that Yamcha wouldn't let Maron see it.

And... Piccolo's failed assassination attempt on Babidi was just... awesome. Perhaps the last awesome thing that Piccolo does in DBZ. And... it failed. :'(.

Your avatar shot of #18 seems to agree. :lol:

You forget the Super Buu-Buu Volleyball Tag-Team Assault. >.>;;

Not to mention, all of Piccolo's few scenes in GT were surprisingly awesome in their own ways. We have sensing disturbances by a beautifully animated waterfall (that thing nearly looked CG), shooting his Makapasanpo(SP?) in the sky just to get owned by Bebi-Gohan, his awesome farewells to Goku and Gohan w/t death, saving Goku from possible eternity in hell while getting a chance to pay Nappa back off-screen, and having one more respectful moment with "Son" at the end. Whew, I'm done!

Oh yeah, Piccolo's awesome was cashed in on in GT (bad bad bad set of prepositions...)... but I was referring mainly to Dragonball Z.
The whole ticking off Enma was... rather awesome. :D

Videl's beatdown always got to me.
