Memorable, Character-Defining Speeches

[Rocketman]

You guys are missing one of the most important speeches in the whole series. The speech that Android 16 makes to Gohan before Cell finishes him. It leads into that song about how Gohan had always let people down in the past and how he wasn't going to let anyone else down, ending in his transformation to Super Saiyan 2.

And then he lets Goku and Trunks die, slacks off for seven years and is useless by the time Buu shows up.

I'd have to say that speech is more humor than character development...

[Majin Buu]

Not to mention he then gets a huge power up simpily by sitting on his ass fora while.

[Gamingdevil]

Vegeta's speech when he's dying in the Freeza Saga (can't think of anything else of the tip of my mind as I still haven't seen past the Cell Saga en before the Saiyan Saga )

You are lucky to not have seen the Cell or better yet the Saiya-Jin saga, there's still loads of awesome episodes you have yet to see, good for you.

Erm, I think you've got me wrong I said I haven't seen past the Cell Saga meaning I've seen it up to the part where Goku's dead and everybody cheers for Satan beating Cell. And not before the Saiyan Saga, meaning I haven't seen the original DB yet.

[Son Goku]

Not to mention he then gets a huge power up simpily by sitting on his ass for a while.

[Bejiita]

Oh, looks like I missunderstood.

So you haven't seen the Buu saga? Wow, that's a good one to watch.

And to mention, Dragonball in Japanese(to me) is really funny.

What about the speech that Piccolo gave Gohan before he died? That really changed peoples' overall perspective on the former demon king. The speech that Tenshinhan gave before he fired his last Kikoho at Nappa was a good one aswell. Even though it wasn't that big of a speech (hell, I wouldn't even consider it a speech) it really better set the mood. Ya feel?

Heh heh, that damn Saiyan saga has a lot of drama.

[Super Sonic]

I know some people might disagree with me but I was rewatching the dub ep where Piccolo is revived and Frieza's last line in it "It won't hurt too bad. Relax... death is my specialty!" creeped me out the first time I saw it, back in 1999. Also memorable, though more the moment than any speech, was the death of the Grand Elder of Namek.

[Mirai Trunks´s Nr. 1 fan]

Majin Vegeta´s speech before doing the final explosion.

Muten Roshi´s speech to Goku after reviving Upa´s father.

Those are probably the two most memorable speeches to me...
