the Water 7/Enies Lobby on One Piece :wow:
the Kyoto Arc in Rurouni Kenshin :wow:
The first 14 eps of Gurren Lagann :wow:
The final arc of FullMetalAlchemist :wow:
The Saiyan/Namek saga in DBZ :wow:

Honorable mentions to Trigun and Cowboy Bebop, although they're more episodic shows.
The end of the Chuunin Exams with the Sand/Sound invasion was also :wow:
Honestly, aside from the Naruto/Sasuke fight, the series peaked there as far as I'm concerned

I forgot about the Dark Tournament! :ohlawd:

:wow: :wow: :wow:

And the Cell storyline was overrated IMO. It introduced a lot of dope characters and the fights were :banderas: (Piccolo vs 17 :whoo:) but the story relied way too much on the heroes not being on point or on a bunch of stuff that didn't even make sense in the context of Dragonball.

How is some random dude going to make a bunch of androids that are stronger than Frieza in his basement? :dahell:

And what made Gero think that 17 and 18, as powerful as they were, were going to listen to his crusty old :flabbynsick: self? :dahell:

Why didn't anyone listen to Krillin or Bulma when they were ready to go disassemble the androids before they were even activated? :dahell:

Why would Bulma bring her baby to see the Androids, knowing they could get killed? :dahell:

Why didn't Yamcha get around to actually telling anyone that the Androids absorb energy after being attacked? :dahell:

Cell has Piccolo's DNA and he doesn't know that that Piccolo can regenerate? :dahell:

dahell: at Piccolo and Tien trying to fight 17 after they downed a super saiyan in one shot :dahell:

and why didn't those two just squad up and attempt to finish Cell right when they first found him before he was perfect? :dahell:

What made 17 think he could take Cell by himself when he was evenly matched with Piccolo, who couldn't finish the job? :dahell:

Didn't Vegeta learn anything from Frieza? What was he thinking when he LET Cell transform just for the chance to show up Goku? :dahell:

Krillin's my dude, but why didn't he just get 18 OUT OF THERE while he had the chance (especially if he was gonna destroy the remote)? :dahell:

and why didn't Bulma TELL anyone when she removed the bomb from 16's body? :dahell:

Goku throwing Cell a senzu bean on some "But we have to fight fair" nonsense, when he's trying to blow up the earth :dahell:

SSJ2 Gohan not murking Cell when he had the chance :dahell:

Goku taking 20 years to say his goodbyes when Cell was getting ready to explode :dahell:

And not simply getting Bubbles and King Kai out of there immediately when he got to Kai's planet :dahell:

And trying to get daps from Kai like nothing happened afterward when they're all dead :dahell:

Shishio is one of the GOAT villains

He went out like a boss. He shytted on all the strongest characters like it was nothing, stabbed his dimepiece cuz it was the best chance to land a serious blow to Kenshin (even had her ass crying in happiness cuz she was finally useful) and to top it all off the good guys didn't even really beat him. They just distracted him long enough for his body to self implode...and as he's dying with his body covered in flames all Shishio does is laugh like a maniac. Easily one of the GOAT villains.
