REST IN PEACE TO THE GOAT.

The most badass moment in TV history

No tv show, or movie, or anime moment, frankly, ever took me to the high of witnessing super saiyan 2 gohan again. A masterpiece. The android / cell saga was top tier

This shyt was monumental I used these episodes a lot when I work out and I want to go all out on my indoor bike or row machine when I can’t run outside
This shyt is still fukking hype after all these years

Goku screaming "WILL YOU STOP ATTACKING YOURSELF" while Gohan is holding off the most powerful villain in the universe WITH ONE ARM hit different.


Sometimes when you're faced with overwhelming odds, it's hard to see what you already have in your favor.

Damn. Shyt got me fukked up. One of my closest friends from a few years back....we had a giant falling out

We connected over our love of dragonball

Got me feeling like I should pick up the phone and shoot him a text.

He went out the same way Goku came in. Head injury. Crazy

RIP

Breh the Trunks reveal might be one of the greatest across all mediums of entertainment. Breh comes through whoops Freiza in like 2 seconds and drops a bombshell that he's Vegeta's son

I remember seeing this on TV back in the day




The hype cannot be described.

Damn... Damn.... RIP this shyt is crazy

Spoiler: ...

Never gonna find out what he wanted to happen after DBZ timeskip now

There’s really nothing more to say. Toriyama’s impact over the past several decades is immeasurable. I was pretty lukewarm on Dragonball Super but now I feel like I need to finish out of respect for the legend.

RIP. Take a nice jog on Snake’s Way for old times sake.

Super does get better in the later arcs.

The first few where they just adapted the movies were pretty mid, but the final tournament arc legit had me at the edge of my seat for parts of it.

i don't wanna argue in a thread honoring a person.
but the n!gga said mj. fukk that. mj isn't one of anything. he is 1 of 1.
i grew up in the 80s in st. louis. i never watched any of this sh1t, and didn't know anybody that did.
maybe it's a regional thing, or better yet a generational thing.
"30-50" is absolutely cap. maybe 20-40.
we were not watching this. i didn't know it existed. so it wasn't influential for me at all.
and from what i've seen of it, it shouldn't be as influential to "us" as it is . but to each their own.

I grew up in the 90's in STL. It wasn't for your generation because it wasn't imported yet.

This is like someone saying G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Thundercats wasn't that influencial because they grew up with Super Friends, Birdman & Space Ghost.

Comparing Akira Toriyama to MJ is appropriate.

Only the Toonami generation will truly understand what this meant to every 11-15 year old boy across the country.

Goku Black saga.was fire until the very end kinda fukked it up, 8 out of 10 tho

DBZ Super Saiya Densetsu (once I figured out emulators it was a wrap)




I hated it at first as I had no idea what I was doing with those rough translated roms but once it clicked around the Napa/Vegeta fight I actually enjoyed it. Training in the spaceship as Goku on the way to Namek was


Plus the secret boss fight at the end against Super Saiyan Vegeta

Wish they would release an official translation or even a remake/sequel, keeping the same style, adding some quality of lifr upgrades, more cards etc.
