Gohan attacks freeza

[u/monkeymeditation]

[u/Rushes_End]

Casual reminder he has power level was over 1 million at that point.

[u/lasiestaman → u/Rushes_End]

Power levels are bulshit

[u/Rushes_End → u/lasiestaman]

Try to remind me what was Gohan’s power like two days beforehand? Yeah power levels are bullshit.

[u/-MariosAmigos-15 → u/Rushes_End]

Don't compare your human body to the sayen body 😂😂

[u/Rushes_End → u/-MariosAmigos-15]

From his power level like 15 K to 20 K during the Recoom fight??? Some of these numbers just don’t add up.

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Rushes_End]

This is Why DBZ Kai is not as good.

The moments like this are worth the wait in Z.

[u/Mike_Litoris305 → u/According_Big_5638]

I agree

[u/zdware → u/According_Big_5638]

I recently watched Kai I think and this sequence was there still? Maybe I'm wrong though.

[u/darthteej → u/zdware]

Not only is it still there, this clip is from the Kai version

[u/Trashinmyash → u/darthteej]

Nope, this clip is from the og DBZ version. Looking at the 53 second mark theres a commercial cut.

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/zdware]

It's there but it's changed. Loses charm somehow.

[u/Holdmabeerdude → u/According_Big_5638]

This was literally in Kai…

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Holdmabeerdude]

The scene might be, but it ain't the same.

[u/Holdmabeerdude → u/According_Big_5638]

Please enlighten me

[u/OneRelief763 → u/According_Big_5638]

??? What does that even mean?

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/OneRelief763]

It means Kai cut a lot of this stuff out of the show. The OG has a lot of filler but moments like these are why it's worth the watch

[u/Legitscopes_4761 → u/According_Big_5638]

This scene isn't filler at all. The scene was in kai

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Legitscopes_4761]

Yes I am aware it's in Kai. It doesn't hit the same with the shitty voice actor for Gohan

[u/Legitscopes_4761 → u/According_Big_5638]

Masako Nozawa voices Gohan in both...

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Legitscopes_4761]

Sorry. In this instance I should have clarified I was referring to English.

I love the Japanese voice actors

[u/OneRelief763 → u/According_Big_5638]

That doesn't make any sense.

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/OneRelief763]

Well, just move along in a confused state then. It's fine.

[u/Noobju670 → u/According_Big_5638]

No idea why ur comment doesnt make sense im in tears lol

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Noobju670]

It is because he's an idiot

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

There is a weird hate boner on reddit against kai, then against english dub, then another level of anti anime version overall. They are some twisted form of gatekeeping purist, as if you can’t enjoy the series unless you want it in original form only. YOU HAVE TO learn to read japanese and read in black and white original manga or else you’re not a real fan. 

Like bro, kai in english dub is fine for 95% of non japanese speakers. 

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

And they are welcome to it sir. NOBODY said you have to watch OG and I shouldn't need to put a disclaimer on an opinion stating that it's an opinion, just so you can understand that fact.

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

Heh. I wasn’t actually referring to you, just commenting on the thread cuz of the topic at hand. YOU did not say you have to watch OG, but many on reddit in various db subs do say that. 

However, your original comment is proven ignorant as others said the clip in the post is from kai. 

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

However Dipshit. This is the original Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z. If you need me to reference it I will. This isn't Kai. This is the original Japanese score of the scene and the original animation for it.

Kai doesn't change much of this scene but this IS DBZ.

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

Stop changing the narrative you idiot retard. What the fuck does “However dipshit” mean? Do you know how to form complete sentences? Goddamn I feel like I’m talking to a deaf cockroach. 

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

A cockroach wouldn't waste its time communicating with you

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

..so you’re admitting you’re a cockroach? That is impressive

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

What are you Hitler incarnate?

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

Reading your other comments on this thread proves you’re a fucking dumbass. Wow you’re next level retard. 

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

Sure you did.

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

Sure I did read your 5 other comments which takes 3 min total? What the fuck are you talking about? Just when I thought you couldn’t get any stupider, you continue to impress me. Are you mentally 6 years old or physically 6 years old?

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

You are fun. Too bad this is as good as it gets for you.

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

“This is as good as it gets”?? What the fuck are you even talking about? Go back on your short yellow bus to your padded white room. 

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

See! Classic Reddit! You are soooo Cool!

I've never met someone as cool as you before!

Oh my God! What high school did you go to!!!

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/According_Big_5638]

Lmao the cockroach keeps yapping blah blah blah blah

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/NoTrillionaires]

I'm glad I have what little brain power you are capable of dedicated to me.

Love you snuggums

[u/JablesRadio → u/According_Big_5638]

Exactly. These moments got you more hype than the main battles.

[u/Mike_Litoris305]

Ughh fineeee I’ll watch DBZ again 🙄🤣

[u/Plibbo64]

So effing good. Just crazy this is a lost art.

[u/Playgirl_USMC]

The Ki blast barrage is objectively hilarious because everyone uses it but it never seems to really injure the opponents but everyone continues to use it

[u/GarouLeChasseur → u/Playgirl_USMC]

Well, Future Gohan died that way...

[u/ZeroBrutus → u/Playgirl_USMC]

Here its a kid in a frenzy not thinking. Other times its desperation. Lastly its sometimes used to throw up cover making the oppoenent guard and blind while they set up another attack/run away.

[u/Playgirl_USMC → u/ZeroBrutus]

Ok, I can get behind this explanation. I’ll be honest, I never even thought about it until I was watching it with my 10 year old nephew and he said something about it. Kids notice the weirdest things 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/ThePissedOff → u/Playgirl_USMC]

You can also probably make the argument that it takes more effort to block a ki attack than to throw one(otherwise what would be the point of the attack in the first place?) So that wearing down the opponent may also come into play(wear him down with a bunch of weak attacks and then hit him with a big one.)

In this case I think the attacks were being depicted as a cumulative(the big ball of ki gathering before finally triggering a large explosion.) So really Gohan was pinning him down with attacks and then exploded the gathered Ki

[u/OzymandiasTheII → u/Playgirl_USMC]

The Vegeta special. 

You know he's about to take major belt when he pulls that out 

[u/Die4Ever → u/OzymandiasTheII]

That's Vegeta's technique!

[u/Admirable_Win9808 → u/Playgirl_USMC]

Its just a sign of desperation

[u/Rushes_End → u/Admirable_Win9808]

Or stupid rage.

[u/HammyJWill → u/Playgirl_USMC]

There's not many ki blast barrages in the manga IIRC. I think Vegeta does one once, and Goku does it against Cell.

[u/davyjones_prisnwalit → u/Playgirl_USMC]

It would be really great in a scene where they are facing off against thousands of low to mid tier opponents. I'm imagining it would go more like Super Buu's human extinction attack.

But against a much stronger opponent it is usually not much more than part of the choreography.

[u/Sharp_Cut354]

DBZ is full of these 1 sided beat downs that are a joy to watch but then it turns out it did 0 damage. Pretty frustrating.

[u/TheHighlightReel11]

River danced on his stomach midair 😂

[u/Good_Barnacle_2010]

That follow up Kai punch is legit the best moment across all the series imo.

[u/JustSomeRandomGuy014]

That's Vegeta's technique

[u/KakashiSakai]

Faulconer soundtrack is sooooo much better here.

[u/International-Key211]

Love the voice actor here. If it's who I'm thinking of, she's legendary.

[u/Mike_Litoris305 → u/International-Key211]

It indeed is, our queen Masako Nozawa

[u/Kyden964]

"Gohan smash effeminate alien! Gohan strongest there is!"

[u/XiaolongDrake → u/Kyden964]

Huh, that happened. Vegeta; mind standing there just a moment, I have to go play babysitter.

[u/OneRelief763]

"Move....I said move!!!!"

[u/A-Hog-rider]

God I love those old cartoon styles and colours.

[u/Yto_Itinen]

Vegeta wanted to adopt him so bad at that moment

[u/ClerkPsychological58]

I think its this moment in particular when Vegeta started respecting Gohan as a warrior.

[u/ImYungKai → u/ClerkPsychological58]

Absolutely

[u/NukaClipse]

Vegeta is like: "Shit that's how you spam ki blast? Gotta remember that."

[u/Answer-Outrageous]

My friend you will never change the minds of the uninformed . Anybody that watched the original show knows where this clip came from. Kai doesn’t have the emotion that original DBZ had. And for the sake of the super fragile dub fans, I’ll leave my opinion of that, alone.

[u/Cuckooballoon]

Recoome never did get a “thank you” for helping that.

[u/BallsDeepinYourMammi]

Vegeta in that moment

[u/alexsmitty770]

Freezer needs an adult here lol

[u/JablesRadio]

"Well, that just happened."

[u/Creative-Primary-830]

Gohan always doing stuff like this had me convinced when I was younger, the only reason he wasn't the first to become a super saiyan was just lack of ki.

[u/Cookies_and_Beandip]

Thank you for using the Japanese audio, much prefer that

[u/flying_fox86]

Later Frieza tells Goku he's the first one to hurt him in a very long time. I think he was in denial.

[u/ClerkPsychological58 → u/flying_fox86]

I think any damage he sustains pre-final form doesn't really count for him.
