Poll is running until May 31st.

Currently, Goku's lower-born/elite speech against Vegeta is #1, "Kuririn no koto ka?" is #2 and "Bye, guys" from his Cell arc sacrifice is #3.

I did expect that number 1 as it's probably the most meaningful line Goku has in the series thematically, but I was expecting "I was raised on Earth but I'm a Saiyan too" and "Super Saiyan, Son Goku" to round off the top 3.

The results are in

As expected, the low born vs elite speech is first, but I'm surprised at how high some of the Super quotes got.

I'm surprised "I am the Super Saiyan," "You can destroy planets but can't even destroy one little man" and "I was raised on Earth but I'm a Saiyan too" missed it but the top 10 is already full of Freeza arc quotes, with four.

Something tells me certain clone series later on tried to adopt this as well (some failing in retrospect).

I too have a lot of gripes with how post-DB Shounen inspired themselves on DB and yet failed to grasp its more unique and important themes.

When he was down to run the fade on Supreme Kai when he thought he was talking shit to Piccolo.

Oh, and "More than love, I prefer guts!"
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!
