A Meeting for the Ages

The epic rivalry begins! When Goku and Vegeta came face to face for the first time, the world had no idea it just witnessed history, a moment that would change Dragon Ball history, but when we saw the epic fight unfold, with Vegeta turning Oozaru, Yajirobe’s heroic entrance, and of course, the Kamehameha and Galick Gun beam struggle, we understood we were watching something like no other.

14) The Turtle Hermit Way

He's Still Got It

“Work hard, Study well and eat and sleep plenty…that's the turtle hermit way” We first heard these quotes from Master Roshi back in the original Dragon Ball, and they became the guiding principles for the rest ofGoku and Krillin’s lives. When the time came for the epic Tournament of Power, we got to see Master Roshi make a daring and emotional stand against the enemy Ganos. The old mentor proved the value of his experience and mastery, giving us an emotional and nostalgic payoff we’ll never forget.

13) Driving School

Fast and Furious Presents: Goku and Piccolo

After defeating Frieza, who would have thought that Goku and Piccolo’s most challenging battle would be....learning to drive!? In the midst of training for the Androids' arrival, we got this absolute gem of a filler episode that remained in the hearts of fans forever for its hilarity. When beings of such unimaginable power struggle with something so common and mundane, maybe it shows us that the rest of us are doing something right.

12) Piccolo’s sacrifice

He Died Not as he Lived

A great redemption story if there ever was one. Piccolo spent his life seeking vengeance on Goku for killing his father, Demon King Piccolo, until the two were forced to team up to battle the Saiyan Raditz. Upon witnessing Goku’s sacrifice and hearing of Vegeta’s arrival, Piccolo took Gohan to train him and in the process, he had bonded with him enough to give his life when Nappa’s deadly attack struck. This one selfless act was proof that Piccolo's days of evil were long behind him.

They grow up so fast! When all seemed lost in the battle against Super Buu, Gohan entered the fray. Having unlocked all his hidden potential from the Old Kai, Gohan attained a new level of power unlike anything he had seen before.

A Slice and Dice

The earth seemed doomed, the insurmountable Frieza was on his way and Goku was missing in action. As the Z-fighters prepared for their last stand, a miracle occurred. A new Super Saiyan emerged from nowhere and easily destroyed Frieza and his father, King Cold. This epic scene blew us away when the surprise appearance turned the series on its head, when Trunks first appeared, anything seemed possible.

Coming Through with a Combo

The battle against Hit reached its climax when Goku pulled out his biggest surprise, a mixture of his Super Saiyan Blue and his long unseen Kaio Ken transformations. We had never seen forms mixed together in such a way before, reminding us it had been years since Kaio Ken was even mentioned, but Goku never forgot. The surprise move blew us all away, and for many, this is where the greatness of Dragon Ball Super truly began.

8) Gohan Beats Cell

A New Hero for a New Generation

When the young Gohan was staring death in the eye, he rose up to give us one of the most epic scenes in DBZ history. The villainous Cell had already defeated Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha. He demoralized Vegeta to the point of breaking his will to fight, and worse of all, Goku and Android 16 had fallen. But, with one hand remaining, Gohan fired his last ditch Kamehameha and with the support of Goku from Other World. With a helpful distraction from Vegeta, Gohan was able to end the nightmare of Cell forever. This scene will always live on as Gohan's crowning moment, the time when he became a true hero.

7) Vegeta’s sacrifice

He Did it for You, for You, and Yes, Even for You

Another epic moment of redemption, the proud Vegeta begins his final atonement for the evil ways of his past and sacrifices himself to rid the world of Majin Buu. While the effort was ultimately futile, the emotion and weight of the scene was not. As Vegeta realizes he cares more for his family thananything else, he finally completes his long journey into the side of good where he would forever remain.

From Boy to Hero

The battle against Demon King Piccolo is one of the best of the original Dragon Ball, it was the first time we had ever seen a truly evil villain like him. With heroes like Krillin and Master Roshi falling left and right, Goku was pushed over the edge, and delivered an epic final blow that will live on in Dragon Ball history.

One of the most epic scenes we’ve ever seen, Goku’s elimination of Kefla is a standout moment in a saga full of standout moments. Finally regaining the power of Ultra Instinct, Goku jumps head on into the fight with Kefla, who responds with a final barrage of attacks. As she fires her largest assault, Goku stuns all those watching by flipping over, riding the attack using his own like he’s pulling a skate trick, and hits Kefla point blank. The elimination took only instant, but the attack will remain unforgettable.
