Top 10 Best Moments from Dragonball Z

Post by Choice195 » Wed Nov 10, 2010 10:58 pm

10. Freeza transforms into Final Form - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0oKTY_3zJ4
He's transformation may have taking a while, but it was defientily worth the wait, I really liked the Transformation music and the suspense which cracked me up... no pun intended when Freeza cracks from his shell.

9. Vegeta admits Goku is the Best - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CXM8vk-ON4
This scene was always emotional to me, After so many years, Vegeta finally admits that Goku is the Best.

8. Goku kills Freeza - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGOQE7WgcQo
Freeza's speech is so epic, "I am mighty! and you are not." I also like the theme that plays after Freeza dies.

7. Goku's Nightmare - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0SxDakI1xs
There's not really much I can say about this one, I like it for the fact that Goku feels so useless when he see's Gohan, Krillin, and Chi-Chi get killed by the Androids.

6. Vegeta's Final Flash - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwrzYrpCHz0
The mood is sooo EPIC!, The music, the suspense, the drama, everything about this is awesome!

5. Trunks kills Android 17 and 18 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjs-85Utbd4
After so many years of running and hiding, This is it, Trunks finally kills the demons from hell.

4. Gohan turns SSJ2 and Kills Cell - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79cC4Z0ez84 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABVWr5tob2g
Both of these are the same topic so I just put them in one instead of two, The drama, The emotion, everything. Both scenes are so emotional expecailly when Gohan turns SSJ2 after seeing Android 16 get killed by Perfect Cell.

3. Kamehameha VS Galick Gun Struggle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH0LaKrPrIc
Oh man! This one was just so cool! Vegeta's anger was transfered in his Galick Gun and Every bit of Goku's power was transfered in the Kamehameha Wave, This scene is just amazing no matter what, Any dub, Any Language, this is amazing.

2. Goku and Vegeta's Sacrifice - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_D7ZttWp4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0AJCV6EjRE
Both of these scenes have the same moment, the same moral the same everything, and of course their both VERY! emotional.

AND NOW THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR....

1. Goku kills Kid Buu - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsagt_kusmI
7 Years after Cell's defeat, Goku's last and final enemy is defeated. Not counting the GT villians.

So Now, I ask you... What was/are your favorite moment/s in Dragonball Z?

It's too bad those moments are ruined by the English dub.

The English dub misrepresents a good portion of those scenes and ruin them by doing so.

Still, we are all well aware of that. You sound like that guy that brags all day about his DragonBoxes. Regardless, you are still entitled to your own opinion.

Lol Rocketman. That was a decent fight of Vegeta pwnage.

My top 5.

1. Vegeta's final flash.
2. Gohan defeats Cell
3. Kakarot vs Majin vegeta
4. Gohan becomes SSJ2 (Japanese)
5. Kakarot goes SSJ for the first time.

Vegeta's sacrifice against Majin Boo. Whether it's the original Japanese version or the FUNimation dub, that scene always gives me chills and, for me, is one of the most important moments in the series. It's a defining moment for Vegeta's character, as he finally realizes the consequences of his selfish actions and that he loves his family. And that line: "Goodbye, Bulma...Trunks...and Kakarrot".

If it hadn't been for that, I don't think I would've found Vegeta's "Kakarrot #1" speech as genuine, so it makes Vegeta's character development more natural. Plus, it's just an awesome, dramatic scene that has an impact on me.

While I don't have anything against Gohan, that does look pretty good. Vegeta's blows all have such great and precise impact to them. One of the most satisfying beat-ups in Dragon Ball.

I can make this list go over 9000 with one character alone.

But putting that one aside, leaves at it's highest.....10 moments in my opinion.

10. Chiaotzu's sacrifice. (Very nobel.)
09. Yamcha and Ten's ultimate teamwork against Cell jrs. (Don't mess with the bad boys.)
08. Piccolo protects Gohan. (Extreme, selfless and touching.)
07. Vegeta's breakdown before death. (Story value has gone through the roof.)
06. Krillin comforts Gohan. (Even passed up an unconsious 18.)
05. Bulma saves the space kids. (You go girl.)
04. Vegeta & Goku befriend the worm. (lol dee lol.)
03. Vegeta's sacrifice. (Finally...)
02. Gohan becomes ssj2. (Tear-eyed warrior leaves an impact for life.)
01. Goku becomes ssj. (A iconic moment.)

Great galaxies, this was hard to do. :lol:

Probably all of those Funi Dub Vegeta speeches about Pride.

Although I did think of 10 different times Bulma has shown off her goods.

Tenshinhan's death in the Saiyan arc was great. I love that they used the music that was used in the third Dragon Ball movie when Chaozu called Tenshinhan his friend, Tenshinhan's vision of Chaozu, and of course the voice acting. The scene afterward in which Gohan cries, Vegeta mocks Tenshinhan for wasting his energy, and Kuririn yells for Goku was also great. One of the only moments in which I prefer the animated series to the comic.

1. Piccolo's sacrifice.
2. Piccolo's fusion with Nail.
3. Piccolo owning 2nd form Freeza.
4. Piccolo brutally fighting Dr. Gero.
5. Piccolo fusing with Kami.
6. Piccolo owning 1st form Cell.
7. Piccolo fighting #17.
8. Piccolo actually agreeing to play volleyball with Gotenks.
9. Piccolo claiming that Gohan's Great Saiyaman outfit looked ridiculous.
10. Piccolo giving 4th form Freeza that really hard Gohan-and-Kuririn-powered stomp kick.
11. Piccolo's awesome entries and awesomeness in the movies.

Pretty much anything Piccolo. All his achievements were one thousand times more rewarding to watch than bloody Vegeta's whining and thick-headed reasoning.

Trunks killing 17 and 18 (Only seen the Funi verison)
Vegeta's sacrifice against Buu (Funi)
Ultimate Gohan arriving to fight Buu (Japanese)
Goku and Vegeta's argument prior to fusing (Funi)
Vegeta admitting that Goku is better (Funi)

2) Gohan's defeat of Bojack (Movie 9)
3) Goku's first SSJ transformation
4) Vegeta's death on Namek
5) Trunks killing Freeza
6) Goku and Piccolo's team up on Garlic Jr (Movie 1)
7) Goku's Kamehameha vs Vegeta's Gallic Gun
8) Goku returns, meets Goten for the first time
9) Tenshinhan attacks Cell (KIKOUHOU!)
10) Vegeta's sacrifice against Buu

Goku is face to face to his worst enemy. His best friend and his master are dead. Piccolo grabs Tenshinhan and says "If you move, I'll kill him.". Then Goku says "I'm very sorry, Tenshinhan, but I promise I'll make you come back to life with the Dragon Balls.". To his despair, Piccolo says he killed Shen Long. He trows a rock a rock at Goku, damaging a leg. Then, an arm. Then a leg.
He flies and prepares to fire the final blow. Goku flies too, concentrates all his power into his fist and we see his monstruous monkey form behind him. His punch passes trought Piccolo.
Piccolo says that his family is not over yet, spits an egg and explodes.
Goku is amazed he won and starts to fall, only to be rescued by his new friend Yajirobe. They start to laught.

Come on, that was the most amazing mind-blowing thing in the whole series.
Sorry, I can't speak English very well, but I'm trying my best.
