Is there a Dragon Ball Z thread? If not

TRUTH. Personally, I would love to see some insane fans out there create an edit of the series where they remove as much filler as possible. Honestly, you could probably cut out 100 episodes worth of footage easily.

Comics > Japanese anime - filler > Japanese anime + filler > American version.

As far as great battles go, I’d have to agree with everyone who mentioned Goku vs. Vegeta. The Freeza battle was good, but it was less personal and edged further and further out of Dragon Ball’s comic fantasy and closer to sci-fi. Goku and Vegeta was David vs. Goliath, the lowly peasant vs. the greatest of the aristocrats. And Vegeta’s reasons for fighting were a little more complex and mysterious. He was willing to wipe out the only remaining members of his race in order to enforce his own need to be superior–and he was very nearly validated, had it not been for the intervention of the other Earthlings. Terrific battle.

The Freeza battle wins points for giving Vegeta a little slice of redemption, plus showing the other side of the coin: Goku having to finally put an end to a villain who refused to be redeemed.

Favorite fight? It’d have to be fights from the World’s Strongest, especially Master Roshi who got to show off for a tiny bit.

For those of us that care, the Dragon Ball DS demo is up on the Nintendo Channel on your Wii. The whole demo is basically a tutorial, but it’s a fun one while it lasted. I’m definitely gonna pick this up after Chrono Trigger and my next Phoenix Wright game.

4:16-4:22= Equivalent of getting your ankles broken in basketball and then dunked on lol.

I always enjoyed the fights more in DB than DBZ. Especially the Mercenary Tao vs. Goku fights, Tien vs. Goku, and Picollo vs. Goku.

Tao is so awesome. his tongue can bring pleasure…OR DESTRUCTION.

Freeza was such a dick. and so was his family. which makes me wonder, if freeza has a whole family of whatever race he is, then presumably wouldnt there be a planet/area of space inhabited by beings as powerful as freeza?

Oh hell yeah
I loved that part so much I had to make a gif of it.

But my fav fight would have to be Gohan vs Cell
for many reasons, 1. All of the guys got to help out (except trunks he was dead) 2. Gohan punching andriod 18 out of him was dope 3. This was the last of Gohan’s coolness, he became a herb when he got older.:rock::rock:

Yeah…they all got to help the Cell Jr’s guide their fists into their faces. The only one really who I think was worth anything during that segment (I’ll exclude Goku only on the grounds that he tried to help Gohan exert more power after his death but even then I don’t think Gohan wouldn’t have been able to do anything if it wasn’t for the opening that was created) was Vegeta. Vegeta was the only one out of the other jobbers who was able to do anything physically significant during that fiasco.

No I’m talking about when the had to lend the powers to Gohan
it wasnt much but I loved the teamwork.

[media=youtube]fskvLjFyPsg[/media] <—A vocal cover of Bruce Faulconer’s DBZ theme, featured as an extra on the first Broly movie. This should have been the opening for the US music selection on the remastered box sets.

The U.S. Dragon Ball music shits on my ears. No thanks.

I love Bruce Faulconer’s stuff, but that song is way better without vocals.

Ugh.

Season 11 boxset comes out on Tues. Looking forward to it. My favorite filler arc.

Meh, whatever… To each, his own.

Infinite World is out. I’ll play my copy sometime tomorrow, with comments on how it was, etc.

EDIT - Goku vs. Cooler was pretty rad, too. It sticks out in my head as one of the more creative battles, showcasing how powerful these characters actually were (Cooler darting through the water, punching Goku in the gut while the water spreads out from the impact was epic).

I’m going to mention Goku vs. Cell…The fight between them 2 was pretty good with both of them giving each other bluffs but more specifically for Goku giving us one of the most hilarious cell moments

Warp Kamehameha:

wooowwwww…I haven’t picked up this boxset yet…but that VA scene with Piccolo was aaaawkkwaaaaard lol

Piccolo: GOKU’S RELEASING THE KAMEHAMEHA!!! stands with mouth agape for at least 10 seconds on screen

but yeah anyway…Cell’s reaction at 3:14…I still find it funny lol

Cell: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Goku: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

That shit was the shit when I saw it on CN back in the day.

that particular scene was epic because it showed cell being human like the rest of the Z fighters and goku being the threat to the planet :rofl:

i hope they make a saga that has goku gain his saiyan mind back and enslaving the planet, like make some bad guys come and cause it to happen making them have to team up with the Z fighters
