Favorite Filler Fights

Post by Sinestro » Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:49 pm

I'm a sucker for new material, so I always found myself drawn to fights not depicted in the original manga.

In the Buu Saga: Unless I misremembered it not being in the manga, I enjoyed Super Saiyan 3 Goku vs Buutenks. There's also a base-form Vegito taking on Buuhan later. You'd think I would have hated that obvious filler episode, but I did not.

What are some of your favorites/ones that stand out to you?

While you didn't ask, my favorite is Super Saiyan 2 Kakarot vs Buu.

Shame on me for not asking. I had to edit that in. :)

And how could I forget another episode dedicated to a filler fight! Must be because I've only seen that particular episode once.

I liked how the filler expanded on the Goku VS Freeza fight which was way too one sided and short for my taste, the original Z did drag it out for too long but Kai did it perfectly.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

SSJ2 Goku vs Buu might have had the best animation of any fight in the series. And if it counts as filler, Tien proving himself equal to a base Saiyan during Bojack has always made me happy.

Gohan deserves it.

The only filler fights I can think of are the ones listed here and Garlic jr saga. >.>

My favorite is Goku vs Pikkon. <3
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

There's a scene right after Vegeta comes back to Earth with Baba where he and Goku fight Boo before Goku ultimately convinces Vegeta to fuse. I just like this scene because it seems to fit Vegeta's pride and such a lot more. However, it does kind of make his shift to being a good guy a little more abrupt.

I loved the Otherworld Tournament as a kid!

Another Buu saga one! I enjoyed that one as well. I feel having those two fight side-by-side is a rare thing.

Gotenks vs Fat Boo!

I loved the animation and Gotenks's first fight.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

All of you are chumps. Best filler fight is Base Vegetto vs Buuhan.

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.

Goku vs. Pikkon

Z Fighters vs. the Pendulum Room Saiyans

Vegeta and Nappa vs. the Arlians

Piccolo vs. Oozaru Gohan (second time around)

Piccolo vs. Tri-form Piccolo clones (pretty sure this was filler)

Vegeta vs. Pui Pui (in the manga it was a lot shorter and not really a legit fight)

Well, if anything he proves himself to be of equal power to base-form Future Trunks (post-cell) in that movie, right? Then Future Trunks went SSJ, darted towards Tenshinhan, took a k blast head-on, and then knocked Tenshinhan into the water ending the fight.
