Most people think of Vegeta's Final Flash or Gohan vs Cell when listening to this. But all I remember is Tien bravely holding off Semi-Perfect Cell. "I might just be a pothole in the road to you, big guy. But it's going to be one heck of a deep pothole".
Tien sacrificing himself against Cell was one of the most underrated and devastating scenes in DBZ history. I mean shit, you know when the Dragon Theme comes on shit's going down.
_"Surpassing Goku has always been my life-long goal as a martial artist. Without him, there's no way I would have made it this far. And how did I repay him? I stood there and watched him die! I will not make the same mistake with his son!"_ _"Goku, I've always wanted to tell you how great of a kid you've got! You saved our lives, right? Well, I won't let you down!"_
"Don't know why I'm getting up again; it would be much easier to keel over. I know back in the day, I never would've done this. I guess I only have Goku and Gohan to blame; those two guys really changed me for keeps. And you know someday, I'll get them for that."
Arguably the most epic theme of DBZ. Goku using Kaioken 20X against Freiza. Gohan's Final Kamehameha. Vegeta's Final Flash. Gohan using Masenko against Freiza's third form... The list goes on. I get goosebumps every time this song is played during the show.
Fans raised on Kai will never understand the greatness of the Faulconer OST. The suspense and the FEAR that it could build, along with the heroic moments, and the comedic moments. You had to be there.
why the hell did they change so much from the script? whole sentenses were rephrased. for what? it was fine the way it is. i like how vegeta sounds young during sayians saga and then during buu he sounded older. that shit is natural. in kai he sounds like he been smokin 5 packs a day.
@@deathrager2404 i watched Kai and then saw some clips from the 90s US dub and to me it sounds like the opposite tbh. Vegeta during the Cell saga literally sounds like he has lung cancer from too much smoking
@Chris In terms of VAs i'd say the japanese ones are overall my favourite. They are not immediately the first voices that pop up in my head when i think of these characters but to me japanese Vegeta and Piccolo are topnotch
It depends on what version you grew with,but a few americans are over the top saying that what they grew up with is better. Most of american soundtrack doesn't fit with Dragon Ball for me,i can't reimagine it with diferent stuff other than Kikuchi's score,but i will admit that it has legendary sounds there.
always either when a hero was making a last stand and about to die, or when Goku or Gohan was in the final battle with the main villain of the saga. I hope the American version of dbz super uses some of the old music.
Mixtape Exclusive Goku's The only reason why I got into Martial arts tournaments and how do I repay him... by standing by and watching him die... Well I won't make the same mistake with his son! - Tien
" *TRIBEAM!!!* Surpassing Goku was the reason why I've became a martial artist. Without him, I would have never gotten to the point where I'm at now... And how do I repay him, I stood there and watched him die! *I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WITH HIS SON!!!!*"
This song has been on my running/workout playlist for nearly 15 years, and I always save it for the very end of a run or a set where I really need a boost, because it always inspires me. I know it's maybe a little lame, but DBZ has always been inspiring to me because at its core it's about a group of people who refuse to accept that there are any limits to what they can do, who will always strive to work harder to face any challenge or meet any goal. When I listen to this I don't just think of Gohan or Vegeta, I think of Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha and Tenshinhan trying their hardest to save their friend, even though they know they aren't powerful enough. You connect to the struggles of those characters despite how they live in a fantasy world of planet-shattering laser blasts and supersonic flight, because at the end of the day their struggles are the same as ours, whether that be to face up to the expectations of our birth, to overcome self-doubt in order to become a better version of yourself, or to come to terms with who we are. DBZ is special.
One of my favourite scenes where this played was when Piccolo was powering up vs 17. Particularly 16's quote "I sense two powers....Piccolo is not alone"
Bogeham13 I know there's Nail fused with him as well. But I think Funi might've screwed up with that line. Like you say, 16 should've been able to detect Nail's power as well.
Chris Sabat actually added that line in when they released the "Orange Bricks" Season sets. In the original airing of that episode, that line was not part of that scene.
(slowly ease in vegetas theme as cell receives a blast from vegeta) Cell: Vegeta? Goku: NOWS YOUR CHAAAAANCE!!!!!!! Gohan: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! and the rest is history lol
CELLLL!!! Once again, you have taken for granted the true powers of a saiyan warrior!!! Now if you really want to test your strength, stay right where you are!"
Kai could still be his preference. I'm sure the OG fans in Japan who were years ahead of us thought we were dumb for liking the the Funimation over the Japanese. We're all Dragonball fans, that's all that matters haha
I tried watching DBZ Kai and DBS, but it's just not the same to me without Bruce Faulconer. He did such a fantastic job that he holds a special place in my heart and Dragon Ball just isn't the same to me without him.
PlatinumSpoons ll during that dialogue at least. It was the Dragon's theme for a few minutes before that. Such an epic episode. And I never use that word.
Vegeta: "CELL! Once again you have taken for granted the powers of a true saiyan warrior!" *powering up the Final Flash* "Now if you really wanna test your strength, stay right where you are!" Trunks: "So thats what he's doing, he's trying to provoke Cell into challenging his attack" Krillin: "Aaagh, okay thats one explaination.. How about this one? VEGETA'S LOST HIS MIND AND HE'S GONNA FRY US AAAALLLLL!!!!" Trunks: YOU'RE GONNA DESTROY THE WHOLE PLANET! FATHEEEEERRRRR YOU HAVE TO STOOOOP IT!!!!
njintau FINAL FLASH... * alot of flasy effects along with the vegeta ssj theme -cell : whats this?! I know this scene of by heart.. I don't like what comes after though
"...And I don't care if you're a million times stronger than me. Mark my words: I'm not going to let them down! So get ready, Frieza, because this time, you're going down!"
Frieza pushed Goku more than anyone else ever did when they first fought. Goku didn't have any real fallback against him at that point.. he was the only person strong enough to actually stop Frieza. And he also achieved the single greatest power gap boost when he spontaneously transformed into Super Saiyan for the first time.
dhruvthenorthstar this was one of the guys he hired. mike something, the synths was another awesome dude. check out geekdoms interview with the three rad people who did the work.
Unfortunately Bruce took credit for a lot of other people's work at least that's what the controversy against him is. Regardless we enjoy this music even better now that we know the rightful creators are getting there credit.
"CELLLLLLL!" "Once again, you have taken for granted…the powers of a TRUE Saiyan warrior!!" "Now if you REALLY want to test your strength, then stay right where you are!"
I don't know what it is about this music... I almost never get what they call "tingles" from asmr, but when I read the dialogue in these comments and I can hear it in my head with this song going... I just get the whole body shivers. Anyone else here like that?
This is just 90's goodness right here. You can see just by the comments that everyone has a scene associated with this song. It's a genius piece of music that evokes the feeling of a 90's shonen anime. The most influential anime of all time.
Faulconer DBZ > all other versions... Funny though. My wife grew up in different part of the world. The DBZ she remembers was English dub, but with the original Japanese score. When I played the Toonami/Faulconer DBZ for her she was shocked! "It's so much more intense and epic!" she said. Damn str8 haha!
Pretty much the opposite to me. It just doesn't fit with dragon ball at all. America flipped the entire show changing dialogues and soundtracks to look like an superman animated series or otherwise it wouldn't sell,that's why it looks epic and intense,and you guys grew up with this,so it's a fair statement.
I know its fanciful thinking but they should rarely hire Bruce Faulconer's studios in the Funi dub of Dragon Ball Super. Seriously, I can't imagine the show without it.
I typically respect "originals", I watched DBZ with my neighbor as a kid in Japanese with subs and the original soundtrack, but only later, after I rewatched DBZ with the Faulconer soundtrack I was hooked on it. It elevated the animation into atmospheres and created feelings I had never felt before watching the original DBZ. Absolutely in awe of Faulconer and his team who did this. It really created the emotional landscape of DBZ for me!
Everyone seems to be remembering the Vegeta Final Flash and Gohan VS Cell clash, but I'd like to show some appreciation for the Tien Tri Beam against Cell as well when this track played. That was one of the most epic moments of the Cell Saga imo and made Tien look like the ultimate badass who isn't from a different planet.
I read something online talking about how the original 67 episodes of the ocean dub run of dbz was cancelled for low ratings. When it was renewed on Cartoon Network with faulconer composing, ratings skyrocketed all of the sudden. Ratings plummeted again when he didn’t do the score for gt. There’s a common denominator in all of this; DRAGONBALL IS BETTER WITH FAULCONER
praetoriancorps it also played the music before Frieza “destroyed” Namek and Goku prepared a Kamehameha waiting to see what he’d do. Their auras both clash as the theme plays.
If only the dragon balls were real and if only the cause wasn't natural. You made my childhood never did i think i would be inspired to watch anime or love dbz so much and you made that possible Goku is my hero only because of you. R.I.P. Toriyama Sensei :(
I love the original DBZ score, but I also love the Faulconer score. It just hits different. Mainly cause I grew up with this one and it makes every fight scene seem much more intense.
"If you are holding ANYTHING back. Release it! Release it now Gohan! Think of all the people he's hurt, the pain he's caused! NOW MAKE THEIR PAIN YOUR POWER!"
From 0:45 to 3:55 i did a plank, try it guys try to last the length of a song, i guess make find longer songs for more challenge lol Make it feel like you have to save the universe by holding your plank 🤣
I respect both soundtracks so much and it’s a shame they can’t coexist, Bruce put so much PASSION AND EFFORT into these pieces. Some were goofy but when it was time to get serious, the vibe was unmatched, goosebumps, core memories, the music alone I can see the final flash, I can see Goku pushing Gohan forward, I can see tien’s sacrifice, i remember how it all came together in the moment to make me feel, and I’ll take it to the afterlife
I think they just forgot about nail lol. The whole super namek thing is because its kami and piccolo, and thats the big deal here, thats why there were two birds in 16's hands and goku says "I don't think piccolo can beat them alone".
For me the dragon theme is the best theme in the series, when it plays you know shit is about to get real, the second best theme....hrm I love pikkon's theme.
Most people think of Vegeta's Final Flash or Gohan vs Cell when listening to this. But all I remember is Tien bravely holding off Semi-Perfect Cell.

RIP TO THE GOAT TORIYAMA
"HE'S MY BABY AND NO ONE CAN TAKE HIM AWAY!!!"
CHI CHI!!! HE'S GOKU'S SON, HE CAN'T BE BEATEN!
Rip the Goat Toriyama 🙏🏾
I typically respect "originals", I watched DBZ with my neighbor as a kid in Japanese with subs and the original soundtrack, but only later, after I rewatched DBZ with the Faulconer soundtrack I was hooked on it. It elevated the animation into atmospheres and created feelings I had never felt before watching the original DBZ. Absolutely in awe of Faulconer and his team who did this. It really created the emotional landscape of DBZ for me!
Everyone seems to be remembering the Vegeta Final Flash and Gohan VS Cell clash, but I'd like to show some appreciation for the Tien Tri Beam against Cell as well when this track played. That was one of the most epic moments of the Cell Saga imo and made Tien look like the ultimate badass who isn't from a different planet.
+Naruto Uzumaki Ki ko fuck yourself! (DBZ Abridged if you didn't know and thought I was literally telling you to piss off lol)
agreed
I agree. I thought I was the only one who loved the tri beam at that moment.
+Naruto Uzumaki "F*ck power levels! F*ck Super Saiyans! And F*ck you! SHIN KIKOHO!"
If I was a UFC fighter I would use this song as my entrance for at least one fight.
lmao facts
Whenever I feel like quitting or giving up in life, I always go back and rewatch Tien vs Cell
The most iconic soundtrack
R.I.P Akira Toriyama
After listening to this track, you can't possibly say that the original, ocean dub, or kai music is better than the faulconer music. TOO good.
I read something online talking about how the original 67 episodes of the ocean dub run of dbz was cancelled for low ratings. When it was renewed on Cartoon Network with faulconer composing, ratings skyrocketed all of the sudden. Ratings plummeted again when he didn’t do the score for gt. There’s a common denominator in all of this; DRAGONBALL IS BETTER WITH FAULCONER
LONG LIVE THE LEGEND MANE
R.I.P TORIYAMA KUN
kaioken 20x kamehameha against frieza. thats where I loved this song.
praetoriancorps it also played the music before Frieza “destroyed” Namek and Goku prepared a Kamehameha waiting to see what he’d do. Their auras both clash as the theme plays.
If only the dragon balls were real and if only the cause wasn't natural.
You made my childhood never did i think i would be inspired to watch anime or love dbz so much and you made that possible Goku is my hero only because of you.
R.I.P. Toriyama Sensei :(
Super Dragon Balls might be able too
@@RainbowDash-sn7ji if they were
DB super would have been better if the man that did this soundtrack(Bruce faulconer) did it for super as well.
He’s not even the guy.
It’s 2020 and I never knew this soundtrack existed. I just listened to the entire thing with tears in my eyes. No cartoon will ever come close.
I wish I could go back and listen for the first time. Enjoy the epicness!
"Cartoon"
@@yorforger9909 yeah, that’s what it is
@@megasystem8473 bruh if u dont understand the difference between 'cartoon' and 'anime', then u might as well just watch mickey mouse or some shit..
@@krishnachaubey they’re the same, you just wanna pretend you’re more mature than others because “I don’t watch cartoons I watch ANIME”
This goes so hard. I freaking love this.
This song gives me chills
This hits the nostalgic strings but the japanese score flows good to. I like both equal
*SAY GOODBYE!!!*
I love the original DBZ score, but I also love the Faulconer score. It just hits different.
Mainly cause I grew up with this one and it makes every fight scene seem much more intense.
Can we use the Dragonballs to wish back Kevin Conroy and JDF? Please 🙏😖
Messi listened to this the night before he won the world cup 🐐
"If you are holding ANYTHING back. Release it! Release it now Gohan! Think of all the people he's hurt, the pain he's caused! NOW MAKE THEIR PAIN YOUR POWER!"
💯
Goddamn this gives me goosebumps
Imagine if they put this on DBS TOP when kakarot faced off against jiren
RIP Akira Toriyama
RIP to Mr. Toriyama 🐉🐉🐉🐉
From 0:45 to 3:55 i did a plank, try it guys try to last the length of a song, i guess make find longer songs for more challenge lol
Make it feel like you have to save the universe by holding your plank 🤣
Shenron!!!! I wish for lower gas prices!!!!!
Shenron: I am sorry, but that is beyond my power.... 😂😂
Shenron: The stupidity of Biden is too powerful, you should have wished for Trump to be reinstated
If this theme plays for you, you're officially a badass.
I respect both soundtracks so much and it’s a shame they can’t coexist, Bruce put so much PASSION AND EFFORT into these pieces. Some were goofy but when it was time to get serious, the vibe was unmatched, goosebumps, core memories, the music alone I can see the final flash, I can see Goku pushing Gohan forward, I can see tien’s sacrifice, i remember how it all came together in the moment to make me feel, and I’ll take it to the afterlife
This soundtrack is what keeps me from ordering Kai. This cannot be topped.
" I sense two people .... piccolo is not alone "18
16*
Wouldn't Nail/Piccolo/Kami make it three people?
Pierremondu that's what he ment by two people
Ok that makes more sense, thank you
I think they just forgot about nail lol. The whole super namek thing is because its kami and piccolo, and thats the big deal here, thats why there were two birds in 16's hands and goku says "I don't think piccolo can beat them alone".
For me the dragon theme is the best theme in the series, when it plays you know shit is about to get real, the second best theme....hrm I love pikkon's theme.
