"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

Goku vs. Piccolo Daimao, that's the first time, at least for me, that I got scared for the characters. Kuririn, Chaozu, Roshi have all been killed. Tenshinhan has been broken and is struggling to keep going, Yamucha's out of commission. Goku shows up with new found strength, saving Tenshinhan, then Piccolo and Goku fight it out over the wastelands that was once a thriving city with Koku-O as the audience. Piccolo realizing he's met his match take a hostage breaks three of Goku's limbs, not to mention his energy has been drained, all hope seems lost. Then Goku blasts the ground and uses his momentum to impale Piccolo Daimao with his own body. Um.. and then Piccolo explodes for some reason, but not before he has the chance to create a son in his own image to one day avenge his fallen father.

Moments
Tie between 2 scenes in the anime, Goku walking straight up to Nappa after arriving from Kaios. I mean it doesn't sound like much but considering the savagery Nappa had just unleashed and the way they framed the whole thing to make the guy look like an absolute giant, while Goku didn't pause, had the stealiest expression I had ever seen on his face and just strolled right up to him...man I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

The other moment would have to be Gohans face to face with Buu, for similar reasons to the above, I also like that at that point the series truly felt it had come full circle, but with the son now filling the role as protector.

Fights
Vegeta vs Recoome - Anime version is the best fight of the canon, music, animations, impact, just awesome!
SS3 Goku vs Super Janemba/Broly vs Gohan M10 - Both are relatively short, but on a technical level are just the most fluid and beautiful fights of the series, period.

Special mention to the GT Final Bout intro, it just did so much right in capturing the spirit of the series, the Gohan vs Buu segment was also choreographed exceptionally well.
