That charge up in front of Captain Ginyu is a legendary moment one of my favs tbh. This was still the era when the power levels were starting to get high but not ridiculously high. Also when Goku screams and blows them all back due to his immense power is an underrated moment for sure.
@@KeyReviewsOfficial Ye I actually agree the fight was underwhelming it was him switching bodies with him that ruined it they should of left it until later.
Frank Sinatra's "Balls in Yo Jaws" used to play at my uncle's house all the time when I was young! I remember him picking me up in his van after t-ball practice, it was cool because it always had candy! He always had a warm popsicle in his pants too, cream-filled I think? He used to compliment me on how good I could keep secrets. The song really takes me back to a better time!
I’m happy you put goku vs vegeta in s+ that’s my favorite fight in the series. Whenever you do part 3 for dragon ball super please label each tier for ex: s+= more than perfect, s=absolutely perfect, A=close to perfect, B=extremely great, C=good, D=ok(barely passing) F=trash.
One of the most visually impressive fights, that was animated in a style that captures the full intensity and of the power of the fight. Goku VS Cell. Especially the beginning of the 3 episode of the fight. Starting with them fighting at an incredible speed then going blow for blow. With Jimmy Firecracker commenting that Goku appears to be blocking Cell's punches with his face. And the Instant Kamehameha.
Thank goodness there are others out there that see the greatness of Goku vs Cell, it’s such a great, fast-paced, hard-hitting fight that gets overshadowed by the snooze fest that is Gohan vs Cell.
@@SSJFutureGohan62093 Yeah the Gohan fight is quite boring. A huge build up. Awesome transformation. Good start dispatching the Cell Juniors. Then pose, rhetoric, pose, hit, pose, charging, still charging, attack, fail, pose, fear, owned, damage, owned, spew, fear, teleport, explode. Return, Vegeta go AHH!, Cell goes Na. Vegeta get bitch slapped. Brief moment of despair. Begin longest beam duel in the entire series. Best part is Cell's overwhelming confidence being completely shattered the moment he gets hit by Vegeta's blast, staggering him as he looks back in shock. Then panic sets in hearing Gohan scream and when he turns back to Gohan, he is overwhelmed by dread. Because he knows what's about to happen next. And just like that he's dead.
Not to mention in the Goku and Nappa fight, Goku gets a lick in for every fallen friend by name, and just embarrasses Nappa the whole way through to really break his pride. Not only that, but the Goku and Vegeta Saiyan Saga fight, as shown in the footage used, also let's Goku realize he killed Grandpa Gohan in his Oozaru form, yet he never gets to fully have this sink in because he caught between an Oozaru and a cliff face. Tue goons Gohan and Krillin beat when first arriving on Namek are named Banan and Sui, and I adore their designs as well as many other Frieza Force soldier and Elite designs, and alien designs in general. Vegeta is a menace on Namek. The first mention of a Super Saiyan was in regards to Gohan's insane potential as a hybrid, but took on a different meaning on Namek where it was regarded as some sort of vague limit break that Vegeta was unsure of how to quantify.
Bro this channel is heavily underrated. Your editing and execution of speech is sooooo professional!! I’m subscribing to see how your channel grows in the future
9:34 Well not really When Vegeta and Nappa were in the pods in the beginning of the saiyan saga Vegeta talks about Gohan's high potential and Nappa asks if he could be a super saiyan. The concept of a super saiyan appeard even earlier.
@@KeyReviewsOfficial I don't remember if he said that exactly in the anime but I read the manga recently and I remember when Nappa said that in a panel. So it's 100% a canon foreshadowing.
@@KeyReviewsOfficialThey took it out in Kai; however If you read what Nappa said in the original Japanese language Super is spelled in Katakana (aka not thought of at the time) whereas the Supa Saiya Jin form that we all know and love(obvious)uses the Chou kanji for "Supa/Super" moving forward instead of Katakana
Goku vs Vegeta round 1 is probably my favorite fight in all of Dragon Ball. Definitely deserved it’s own tier. We’ll never see another fight like that in anime. Like you said, everyone had a role in it, and everyone was so trashed at the end. You could feel the desperation from each side. Only other fights that can compare are Goku vs Piccolo Jr (which is from Dragon Ball) and Goku vs Cell. Also, Dodoria vs Namekians not being memorable? Bruh, I’ll never forget that neck snap and his hand through the one dude’s chest.
And the beam fight/kaiokenx3 episode we got in the west during its initial run is legendarily great. I'm reviewing the first half of it about as in depth as possible in about 30 minutes
Yajirobe doesn't get enough credit. He saved Goku and then he saved Gohan. They would've had to revive Goku on Namek and he wouldn't end up as powerful if he was wished there. Gohan was such a badass on Namek, he may have been the first Saiyan to ever harm Frieza.
I got honestly shocked when I saw your sub count, jesus man you literally are so underrated, i love your channel, keep up your hard work man it will pay off.
Captain Ginyu deserved better. From what we see, Ginyu's fighting style is uniquely entertaining, and fitting for the leader of the Ginyu Force. It would have been nice to see more of it to demonstrate why Ginyu is worthy of being Frieza's second-in-command. It was also cool that he believes in a fair fight, releasing Goku when Jeice helps him gain the upper hand. He also demonstrates a level of integrity by deciding to handle Goku on his own, even when he realizes he's outmatched, rather than get Frieza or pledge to betray Frieza, the way Frieza's other henchmen did. It shows that Ginyu serves Frieza in earnest. I feel like the Ginyu portion of the story was rushed overall and too one-sided once Goku shows up. We should have gotten more time with the Ginyu Force and their Captain.
Man I can't get over the shadowy look over Goku when he opens the door to be on Namek. You can just tell he is pissed and ready to beat some ass. I remember being a kid and watching it and being so hyped to see my boy finally on Namek and ready to get in the game
Nail vs freezer is a good fight, is not that the fight itself is good but the implication like, nail is sacrificing himself in a fight he know he will lose and still did it
That’s interesting about the freeze third form, as Toriyama in the Managua was quoted saying that he drew inspiration from the films he watched as a child and, since alien was released in 1979 and dbz freeze arc was in 1991, it would align time wise
Vegeta vs Final Frieza is unforgettable. Vegeta’s opening power up is pretty unique, and it tricks you into thinking he’s about to transform right before our eyes. I’ll never forget Vegeta’s body writhing in agony as Frieza uses it as a punching back. Sick, and utterly awesome. All to end with Vegeta spilling his heart and Frieza’s past. I wish Vegeta got one good punch in..
9:35 not sure if it's in all versions, but it the version of the manga I read, Nappa mentions the term "Super Saiyan" in his and Vegeta's first appearance, while discussing what Gohan did to Raditz, but it wasn't regarding the legend. He just casually said "The kid is a super saiyan, huh? Maybe we should make a few, then?" But Vegeta pretty much immediately shoots the idea down because it "doesn't benefit them in the least"
That's true and the first official mention of super Saiyan in the sense We know it now comes from the Grand elder. When krillin mentions that Kami died The Grand elder remarks the one that killed him must have been a super Saiyan.
Rewatching the original Z anime, I just passed this scene, it was handled differently between the original Japanese and English Dub (I have a dvd and could check them both at the same time). In the original Japanese, the scene plays out exactly the same, however, in the English Dub, Gohan is never mentioned, and instead Funimation chose to have Vegeta reveal his wish here instead of prior like in the Japanese version, and Vegeta says that he and Nappa will become Super Saiyans by gaining immortality. Given the fact that Funimation possibly had foreknowledge of what it would eventually be when they scripted this scene and possibly were trying to foreshadow it, this interpretation is in the realm of what we know the transformation as nowadays, however it is still not quite there.
I would put Goku & Piccolo v. Raditz in S tier. Though not as iconic as the Z Fighters v. The Saiyans, it was very nice to see Piccolo and Goku team up and take desperate lengths to beat Raditz to the point where Goku makes the ultimate sacrifice. The ending was great when Raditz reveals that there is more than just him in space.
Ive been reviewing every fight from the saiyan saga, leading me today to upload what I think is the perfect episode of DBZ: Goku vs Vegeta. So I enjoyed you almost immediately noting that the goku vs vegeta fight is pretty much perfect.
Grading the Goku vs Frieza fight has always been tricky for me. On one hand, tons of iconic moments happen that define what the series would become. On the other, it's loaded with tons of filler that make rewatching it a total drag. Also, Vegeta vs Recoome is easily at least A tier. It's short, but the animation and art direction in that episode is some of the best in the entire series.
Cool video! looking forward to the conclusion, though in truth i would add a god tier and Goku vs Frieza should be in that tier as it shouldn't be surrounded by other fights that were not nearly as iconic as the the first time Goku went Super Saiyan, the only other fight I might think could make it into god tier for Z would be Gohan vs Cell when he goes Super Saiyan 2 cause that was also just spectacular
No disrespect but I strongly disagree with dodoria versus the namekians. It sets the stage for our warriors that they are on a different planet, there are some really bad things happening and they can’t do anything about it, because they are out matched. And every time they over come one thing, another thing happens rinse and repeat. We don’t even get to see Goku successfully leave namek, we’re left to think he’s dead too. It shook Z and that all started with the brutality of dodoria.
I have similarity’s and difference , here is my ranking . Goku/ picoro vs raditz B Z fight vs saiyins C Napa va goku B Goku vs vegeta S+ Gohan killing vs goons F Vegeta va cui C Dodoria vs namekians D Vegeta vs dodoria C Vegeta vs sarbons B Crew Vs gyniu force C Goku vs gyniu force A Goku vs gyniu C Vegeta vs jeize . D Freezer va nail F Piccolo vs freezer A Freezer final form A Goku vs Frezer SS+
I like to imagine how impactful and emotionally heavy it was for fans of DB in Japan to have to go through that. Probably an epic moment whcih made Goku's Nappa beat down even better for fans
Z-Fighters vs Vegeta is THE anime fight , just too good of a fight , from a competitive 1v1 between Goku and Vegeta to an even more competitive 4v1 battle , Vegeta took insane beating from everyone and didn't fall, Goku was paralyzed , Gohan went ape , Krillin got Krillin-ed and Yajirobe got ground and pound TKO'd. Saiyan Saga was a masterpiece , it's like Toriyama accidentally dropped the plot armor on the saiyans.
To be fair though, I don't know if that fight between Gohan/Krilliin and the henchmen can be considered a fight but more of a beat down, not really supposed to be anything long or epic.
To me it was barely a fight. It just was Guido running around stopping time 😭 but if I did rank it I would've put it in F. It had some funny moments tho
I would rate Vegeta vs recoom way higher. It appears that you rate battles based on narrative vs actually quality of the animation and choreography. The Vegeta vs recoom fight is one the best drawn fights of dbz. No fight matches the manga panel art as accurately. Maybe if you watched it with the Japanese audio it will have way more impact vs the America soundtrack. Meanwhile the z fighters vs Saiyan fight I was expecting a f. The animation is mostly filler quality and they needed to add saibaman to pad for run time. The saibamans really ruin the fight for me because they aren't even the main enemies. They are just npc spawns.
I am the hope of the omniverse I am the lightbulb in the darkness I am the bacon in the fridge for all living things that cry out in hunger I am the alpha and the omeega I am the terror that flaps in the night I AM SON GOKU AND I AM A SUPER...saiyan
Raditz vs Goku and piccolo should be C, Z fighters vs Nappa is B tier, Vegeta vs Goku is S tier. Gohan and krillin vs.solders is F tier. Vegeta vs cui is B tier Dedoria vs namek Vegeta vs dedoria B tier Vegeta vs Zarbon is B tier Vegeta vs recoome is B Goku vs butter and jeice Goku vs ginyu B tier Krillin and Gohan vs ginyu F tier Vegeta vs jeice B tier Nail vs Frieza F tier Piccolo vs Frieza A tier Vegeta vs Frieza A tie.r
After going back and reviewing the saga in depth, I've found The PL given are completely unreliable and don't at all match what we say in the fights. Nappa, for example, uses so many massive moves that there's no way he was less than 11 or 12k. In the end, it looks like the official DB guidebook and numbers were thrown out there without much consideration as a way to sell product to kids at the time. Toriyama famously has little regard for PL's and as a result, it ends up all being pretty contradictory when you watch with certain numbers in mind
I don't know about about Goku SS vs Frieza being S+ tier. It's just so slow, with so much padding, isn't it the longest fight in the entire series? If only they had cut out some of the "fat".
I have to disagree with Goku vs. Frieza, it can only be S, at best. My reason is that it suffered of a lot of bad dubisms: Frieza threatening Gohan's life (what actually caused Goku to turn SSJ) was cut and Goku's "I am" speech is so out-of-character for him, he sounds more like Superman.
sorry but its not over 9000! its over 8000! yes 3rd form frieza was taken from the alien films like 100% thats true frieza DOES NOT show his full power in the 1st half of the fight ( before the spirit bomb ) its only 50%
Ran into trouble uploading so I had to delete the other one and reupload. Enjoy the video though and let me know how would you rank these fights.

Z-Fighters vs Vegeta is THE anime fight , just too good of a fight , from a competitive 1v1 between Goku and Vegeta to an even more competitive 4v1 battle , Vegeta took insane beating from everyone and didn't fall, Goku was paralyzed , Gohan went ape , Krillin got Krillin-ed and Yajirobe got ground and pound TKO'd.
Saiyan Saga was a masterpiece , it's like Toriyama accidentally dropped the plot armor on the saiyans.
Vegeta breaking Burter’s neck is way better than the Raptors killing Udesky in JP3.
To be fair though, I don't know if that fight between Gohan/Krilliin and the henchmen can be considered a fight but more of a beat down, not really supposed to be anything long or epic.
Why did guldo fight get skipped but the gohan and krillen vs henchmen didn't
To me it was barely a fight. It just was Guido running around stopping time 😭 but if I did rank it I would've put it in F. It had some funny moments tho
what version of dragon ball z is this?
is this like AI enhanced dragon ball clips they look SO high quality compared to what i see on anime websites
I would rate Vegeta vs recoom way higher. It appears that you rate battles based on narrative vs actually quality of the animation and choreography.
The Vegeta vs recoom fight is one the best drawn fights of dbz. No fight matches the manga panel art as accurately. Maybe if you watched it with the Japanese audio it will have way more impact vs the America soundtrack.
Meanwhile the z fighters vs Saiyan fight I was expecting a f. The animation is mostly filler quality and they needed to add saibaman to pad for run time. The saibamans really ruin the fight for me because they aren't even the main enemies. They are just npc spawns.
I tried to rank it off of narrative, how much I enjoyed it, and the animation/quality but I respect your take on it
Freiza unleashed 50% of his full power but didn't even need a third.
I am the hope of the omniverse
I am the lightbulb in the darkness
I am the bacon in the fridge for all living things that cry out in hunger
I am the alpha and the omeega
I am the terror that flaps in the night
I AM SON GOKU AND I AM A SUPER...saiyan
Wait, if Friezas new base form is actually is final form...what is his ACTUAL base form...does he still look like a little kid?
His final form was always his base. His other forms are limiters besides golden and black
Raditz vs Goku and piccolo should be C,
Z fighters vs Nappa is B tier,
Vegeta vs Goku is S tier.
Gohan and krillin vs.solders is F tier.
Vegeta vs cui is B tier
Dedoria vs namek
Vegeta vs dedoria B tier
Vegeta vs Zarbon is B tier
Vegeta vs recoome is B
Goku vs butter and jeice
Goku vs ginyu B tier
Krillin and Gohan vs ginyu F tier
Vegeta vs jeice B tier
Nail vs Frieza F tier
Piccolo vs Frieza A tier
Vegeta vs Frieza A tie.r
Why did you skip the Guildo fight, tho?
sorry, but how is everyone vs freeza final form on s+?
just... how?
you look at that s+ and it just does not fit together.
Vegeta fans be like:.oh vegeta's S tier oh gohan fights F tier
Oh goku's fights B tier
You should’ve said Goku vs grandpa Gohan
Krillin and Gohan vs Guldo?
WHY DO THE CLIPS LOOK SO HIGH QUALITY
I tried to guess where you were going to put them 💀
Haha how many did you get right ?
@@KeyReviewsOfficial I got a like half of them right

3:04 Goku 's power level was 8000. The power level being 9000 was a translating mistake.
After going back and reviewing the saga in depth, I've found The PL given are completely unreliable and don't at all match what we say in the fights. Nappa, for example, uses so many massive moves that there's no way he was less than 11 or 12k. In the end, it looks like the official DB guidebook and numbers were thrown out there without much consideration as a way to sell product to kids at the time. Toriyama famously has little regard for PL's and as a result, it ends up all being pretty contradictory when you watch with certain numbers in mind
Oops i put them all in S tier
I don't know about about Goku SS vs Frieza being S+ tier. It's just so slow, with so much padding, isn't it the longest fight in the entire series? If only they had cut out some of the "fat".
what do you think the best fight is?
why is there no sound
I have to disagree with Goku vs. Frieza, it can only be S, at best. My reason is that it suffered of a lot of bad dubisms: Frieza threatening Gohan's life (what actually caused Goku to turn SSJ) was cut and Goku's "I am" speech is so out-of-character for him, he sounds more like Superman.
I watched it in kai so the pacing was a lot better and the I am speech imo was better too
@@KeyReviewsOfficial Thing is that I watched the LatAm dub that is way more faithful to the original script so I dislike this kind of dubism.
Was on board until you praised the "I am" speech that makes Goku into Superman
The kai version
@@KeyReviewsOfficial Oh the clip was from Ocean Dub so I was confused
Yea im mostly talking about kai since that's the version I grew up with
the "over 9000" meme is not popular anymore
Goku vs Nappa was not a fight, it was a fucking beatdown.
You missed an opportunity to call the S+ tier SS or even SSJ tier/
sorry but its not over 9000! its over 8000!
yes 3rd form frieza was taken from the alien films like 100% thats true
frieza DOES NOT show his full power in the 1st half of the fight ( before the spirit bomb ) its only 50%
Poor Guldo...😢
😭😭
why does frieza look like pennywise??? 16:12
final form freiza is in S+ tier then why have that misleading thumbnail?
krilin and Gohan vs butter??????
Nappa: beats the z fighters which are some of the strongest at the time
Vegeta: USELESS SCRAP! YOUR THE BEST OR YOUR NOTHING!!!
asian parent moment
😭😭😭
Cui’s the man.
He's dead now 😭
@@KeyReviewsOfficial Such a shame. I love him and Burter.
EVERY fight in dbz… except for most of them lol
This was part one
