Why dragon ball z is awesome

This has birthed three sequels to this series with each being more flawed in the eyes of some fans than the last. However, while these sequels are flawed there is no doubt that the original continuation that originally wasn't even its own thing in the manga of Dragon Ball is the most popular of all the series.

That continuation is Dragon Ball Z and this list will be looking at why exactly so many consider it the best of the series and why many still think the original story is better. Write for us! Do you have proven online publishing experience?

One thing that came from Dragon Ball Z that she series is so well known for is the countless ridiculous transformations that the series introduced.

This new form of power scaling was one of the most influential concepts in the world of shonen anime and manga and it has been only gaining more steam as the series continues. This concept is something that fans come back for every time a sequel comes out and these sequels have definitely delivered on more ridiculous and more powerful forms each time they show up.

While the transformation concept of Dragon Ball Z may be popular that doesn't mean that it's flawless or even a particularly good concept. In fact, it is a piece of Dragon Ball lore that actually turned away many fans of the original. This is one of the concepts that brought in the horrible form of power scaling that it pioneered.

Dragon Ball is more about character growth and mastery of their skill instead of who is reaching what form next. Dragon Ball Z just focuses on this concept a bit too much to symbolize a new limit being reached. Dragon Ball Z is the series that took Dragon Ball to the next level. In Dragon Ball things are relatively low-key is in, the story takes place completely on Earth and with Earthlings and a few demons at the forefront.

It is mostly based on a lot of Japanese mythology with some Chinese influence added on. In this sequel, fans are taken from Earth to other planets, other dimensions, and even the afterlife where even more alien, demonic, and other otherworldly beings are introduced.

While that gigantic worldbuilding may be appealing to some there was something about the original Dragon Ball series's more down to Earth level of action that was a lot better. He was most definitely the epitome of epic and everything about DBZ. Let's list his awesome feats shall we? Gohan's first epic moment, he headbutts his uncle Raditz, actually breaking his armor.

Up to that point, neither Goku nor Piccolo could actually hurt him. In the hopeless battle against Nappa, he charges the bald-headed brute and fells him with a single kick. Even though he still rises up again, it's amazing nonetheless. Vegeta impulsively presses Gohan's Berserk Button when he knees Goku in the gut while he's down. An enraged Gohan kicks him in the face, then engages Vegeta in a short battle while Krillin prepares to nail him with the Spirit Bomb.

When Krillin sees the opportunity to strike Vegeta with the Spirit Bomb which is ruined by Yajirobe's outburst and Krillin's bad timing , who jumps in the air dodging it. The Spirit Bomb then heads in the direction of a fatigued Gohan. Everyone looks on in fear as Gohan is about to be struck by it but Goku telepathically communicates with Gohan and tells him to bounce the Spirit Bomb at Vegeta who is unable to avoid it and is shot up to the sky.

How badass is that? Gohan going to Namek. The Gohan from a year ago used to cry at every little thing and during the Saiyan fight, he was shaking in fear most of the time. Now, to save his friend and mentor, he's willing to leave the planet for parts unknown. Now that is some Character Development. After ordering henchman Dodoria to kill the Namek soldiers that come to the villagers' aid, Frieza backs out on his deal to leave him alone and kills the village elder's son and then him.

Now eyeing the village elder's other son who is petrified with fear, Frieza tells Dodoria to dispose of him as well. Let's say Gohan wasn't too pleased with this and springs into action and kicks Dodoria's fat ass through a house. Even when Dodoria gets back up, Gohan stands his ground and tells him to bring it on. Despite being horribly outmatched, Gohan fought Recoome until the brute broke his neck.

He may have lost, but he lasted long enough for Goku to come and save them. Frieza pushes another one of Gohan's buttons and impales Krillin and sadistically tortures him. After tossing Krillin into the sea, Gohan goes berserk and beats the everliving fuck out of Frieza while the theme song plays, then Masenkos his ass.

Frieza blocks it, only for him to slam another one right into his face. Then the epic Oh, Crap! When Piccolo is losing to Frieza's third transformation, Gohan interferes in the battle and does a gigantic Masenko and nearly becomes the one who puts an end to him. Although filler, after Frieza buries Goku under a hundred feet of lava, he presumes that he wins.

Gohan, sensing his dad's defeat, heads back to the battlefield and attempts to pull a Taking You with Me. However, Frieza realizes this when Gohan keeps on trying to run away and explains to him how he's able to survive anywhere.

Gohan, frustrated, lashes out at Frieza and punches him a dozen times and finishes his Meteor Move with a Masenko. This attack doesn't work, but it does push Frieza to use his powered-up final form he used against Goku as a Super Saiyan. Gohan gets another one after Goku's fight with Frieza when he's willing to defend his father's honor by taking on Vegeta. Vegeta presses Gohan's Berserk Button by making fun of the fact that Goku is dead.

Gohan then gets angry. At first, Gohan looks like he's winning by punching Vegeta, kicking him and headbutting him. Unfortunately, it doesn't end well for him because Vegeta ends up defeating him. Regardless, it was still awesome and it took a lot of guts and bravery for Gohan to fight Vegeta.

The Garlic Jr. Saga is one big Moment of Awesome for Gohan. He is the one who defeats all of Garlic Jr's men, even after they powered up thanks to the Makyo Star. He then creates a barrier around himself to protect Piccolo and Krillin from being sucked into the Dead Zone. He's able to hold it until Piccolo and Krillin jumped out to confront Garlic Jr. Wanting to protect his friends, Gohan flies up and destroys the Makyo Star, cutting off Garlic Jr's power source, sending him right back into the Dead Zone , forever this time.

And when Gohan says that they were able to win without their father, Piccolo corrects him by saying that they did need his father and he was right here, before patting Gohan's head.

This saga also works as a nice precursor to the Cell Games where Gohan really does take up his father's mantle. The Cell Saga also had one by intimidating Mercenary Tao, the person who defeated Goku in a Curb-Stomp Battle when he was a child and was at this point menacing civilians under the employ of a crime boss, into leaving by staring him down, firing up his Super Saiyan Battle Aura and taking a shot from his Arm Cannon without even so much as Clothing Damage to show for it.

Cue Tao quivering in his boots like a scared infant, especially after he learns that Gohan is Goku's son, and making a break for it, leaving his employer to fend for himself.

Gohan's complete mental breakdown followed by him handing Cell his ass as a Super Saiyan 2. The transformation was accompanied by a song created just for that moment in the original Japanese. And it was sung by Hironobu Kageyama. Do the math. In the Faulconer dub, the final part of the transformation was set to the epic, rightly titled Gohan Angers theme. He embarrasses Cell by copying his fighting style and matching him move for move.

He's the reason Krillin got Android 18 back. By the time the final clash comes about, Cell is afraid of Gohan. His attacks become less provocation and more desperation. Preceding that, he effortlessly destroys the Cell Jrs. And by destroy, we mean literally obliterating them with his blows. He just hits them once or twice and they explode into smoke. Topped with the epic Gohan vs.

Cell Jrs. At one point, Cell threatens the Earth with a massive Kamehameha fired from the air, which takes him several minutes to charge. As the enormous blue beam bears down on Gohan, he simply smirks, mutters the incantation quickly, and fires off a much, much larger Kamehameha of his own, completely deflecting Cell's and severely injuring the bio-android. Made even better by the fact this is Gohan's first-ever Kamehameha in the series. It's Kamehameha vs.

Gohan is somewhat reluctant to unleash his full power on Cell because he thinks he'll destroy the world and is doubting himself. In the anime, everyone helps him out until he finds the power to destroy Cell. Cell tosses aside the rest of Z-fighters like ragdolls and is nearly about to win until Vegeta steps in and strikes Cell from behind giving Gohan the chance to kill Cell, giving him the precious few seconds needed to completely unleash his power.

Gohan has one even before going SSJ2. As Cell is smacking him around to provoke a reaction, he snaps for a moment and kicks Cell so hard that Cell gets floored and keels over a couple of times before he could finally get back up.

While Goku was frolicking in the forest at that age, Gohan was going up against the likes of Vegeta, Frieza, and Cell. This is best summarized by what the Narrator says at the end of the scene when Gohan goes Super Saiyan 2: Narrator : "It is a secret we have known before Gohan could even form words in his mouth. Through fights with Raditz, Garlic Junior, the Ginyu Force, and even Frieza, we've caught glimpses of the child's explosive power.

But like an explosion, it always vanished with the moment; it couldn't be controlled At last, the beastly power has been harnessed. Gohan has awoken. Now Cell will battle a warrior eleven years in the making, on the next Dragon Ball Z! Bojack: Any last words before you die? An early moment of awesome during the very first day of Krillin and Goku's training. Roshi's test for the evening involves throwing a marked stone into the creature-infested jungle below, and whoever finds it and gives it to Roshi wins; the loser has to go the night without supper.

Goku is practically out of Krillin's league in terms of raw power, speed and durability, and there are all kinds of creatures that would have them both as snacks. For all intents and purposes, Krillin is gravely outmatched; he's able to take a sabre-toothed cat out no problem, but the various dinosaurs are a bit much for him.

So how does Krillin handle the situation? Easy; he uses his brain against the Idiot Hero Goku. He tricks him into giving him the stone, making him believe it's a decoy, then runs away and cuts the bridge on the way back to Kame House with his bare hands , mind you. Then, when he loses the ensuing Big Ball of Violence , he throws the decoy he made earlier to unsuccessfully fool Roshi, which successfully fools Goku into chasing the wrong stone while he makes off with the real one.

Was it underhanded and sneaky? And he did pay for it when supper turned out to be fugu puffer fish , which gave everyone stomach problems for the entire following day. But no one beforehand was able to succeed in getting one over on Goku like that, and this was before he Took a Level in Badass in time for the 21st Tenkaichi. In the preliminaries of the 21st Tenkaichi, kicking one of his old bullies through a wall with enough strength that, even after crushing through the wall, he still had enough strength to fly 50 meters until he hit another building.

For reference, before training under Muten Roshi, Krillin couldn't even touch him. Everything he did under the preliminaries. The only one who actually hit him was a Bruce Lee Clone who kicked him while he was distracted and continued for a while after he was down , and it didn't hurt him in the slightest. His opponent surrendered immediately in terror. Krillin nearly defeated Master Roshi when he's fighting as Jackie Chun by throwing a pair of panties into the ring and kicking him when he dives for them.

Master Roshi only recovers because he uses a Kamehameha to fly back into the ring. Roshi even notes that he would have lost if he was an ordinary human. He even did better than Yamcha, who couldn't even touch Roshi. Krillin shows more of his Combat Pragmatist nature by making Roshi nosebleed on the invisible man, allowing Yamcha to see him.

Krillin had quite a few moments at the 22nd: In the preliminaries his first opponent was a gigantic wrestler, large enough to hold Krillin's whole body with one hand , and so strong he couldn't find opponents anymore in legal promotions. His hand could crush a boulder with a pressure of kg, and he managed to grab Krillin, who cried in pain Krillin's fight with Chiaotzu in the 22nd Tournament often gets overlooked but the two put up a good fight with Krillin using the Kamehameha for the first time against Chiaotzu's Dodonpa, and at the end when Chiaotzu traps him with his psychic powers, Krillin interrupts his train of thought by shouting out math problems to get loose and knock him out of the ring.

Later, Krillin was able to give Goku a decent fight, even getting more than a few blows in. He successfully fools Goku with a Kamehameha to distract him while he grabs his tail. If this was a couple of years ago, Goku would have lost right there. At the very beginning of the King Piccolo Saga, Krillin walks in on Tambourine stealing the tournament roster, and immediately tries to save the Tournament Announcer.

He mentions that Krillin hit Tambourine with everything he had, but it wasn't enough. Even so, the effort especially right after the tournament, when everyone was so tired even Goku was easily beaten by Tambourine shows how far Krillin will go to help a friend.

There's a little moment near the end of the original Dragon Ball that people tend to forget. That moment is his tournament fight with Piccolo, who at the time was the single most powerful villain in the series.

Let's make a long story short: after putting up a hell of a fight, Krillin not only gets back up after an attack that Piccolo was certain had killed him, he also gives up very gracefully, which in itself is kind of awesome.

But what really makes this awesome is that Piccolo admits to himself after this fight, "Conquering the Earth may be more difficult than I thought. In both the Vegeta and Frieza fights, there's a point where he keeps the villain busy holding out absurdly long given the difference in power and buys desperately-needed time for the big guns. Krillin gets one of the biggest clutch moves of the arc, when Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu are dead and Piccolo is knocked out.

Nappa moves in on Gohan for the kill, and Krillin comes in from the side to send him flying with a kick to the face, quickly followed by a punch. He moves in for another attack, but when Nappa recovers and tries to hammer him with a punch, he dodges lightning quick. Even Vegeta is impressed. Then Krillin debuts his Destructo Disc, which would have ended the fight right there with a one-hit kill had Vegeta not yelled for Nappa to avoid it.

As it was, he was the first fighter to draw Nappa's blood, cutting his face with the attack. When one thinks about it, he was actually pretty badass on Namek. He and Gohan manage to survive for an absurdly long time on this planet surrounded by bad guys, outsmarting Vegeta and Frieza until help arrived. You also have to give Krillin credit since he was more or less the de facto leader until Goku arrived.

Despite his weaknesses, it was largely his planning and thinking ahead that kept everyone alive and got Gohan powered up by the Grand Elder. He was almost an action survivor until Frieza came back and killed him, and even that wasn't in vain since his death allowed Goku to become a Super Saiyan.

The scene where he stomps Recoome's mouth shut, interrupting his Recoome Eraser Gun attack a powerful mouth beam. This knocked nearly all of his teeth out, giving Gohan valuable time to save a badly battered Vegeta's skin in the nick of time.

How about when he saves Gohan from getting his skull crushed in by Frieza by throwing a well-timed Destructo Disc which managed to cut off his tail? It's especially awesome since he had been impaled by Frieza's horn a few scenes earlier and appeared out of nowhere to almost kill the guy. He then follows through with this moment by throwing several Destructo Discs at once that Frieza barely managed to dodge and topped it all off by sticking his tongue out at him and slapping his ass to piss Frieza off so that he would follow him in order to give Dende enough time to heal Gohan.

The multiple DDs showed some awesome improvement on his signature technique. It used to take him like half a minute to create one. The anime also expands on what Krillin does after he gets Frieza to follow him. First, he tries to outfly Frieza, but once he starts bearing down on him, Krillin then hides in a broken-apart mountain. Frieza manages to keep pace with him every step of the way and, once he gets bored, fires a ki blast into the mountain to force Krillin out.

When it looks like Frieza will kill Krillin for what he did to his tail, Krillin busts out a Solar Flare and manages to escape him again. The fact that Krillin managed to escape Frieza's grasp for so long considering how much weaker he was is pretty damn awesome in itself.

Later, when Vegeta wants to be beaten up so he can be healed by Dende for a power boost, Krillin's reluctance pisses him off, and he raises a fist, saying, "I know Tuffles who fight better! In the Garlic Junior Saga, Gohan's inexperience and reluctance to fight gets him in trouble several times over. Krillin repeatedly bails him out by acting as a Human Shield till Gohan is finally ready to go all out.

In the Cell Saga, he manages to keep the much more powerful Cell from killing a girl and her brother. He holds him off long enough for Piccolo and Tien to arrive, and the kids to escape.

He even pounds Cell with an awesome headbutt that gives the android visible pain. Krillin's best moment, however, is probably the entirety of the Saiyan fight: After getting royally pissed off over Yamcha's death, he fires an energy beam that splits into five, each one powerful enough to kill a Saibaman in one hit though one managed to dodge, and Nappa and Vegeta No-Selled the one directed at them.

Each Saibaman is as strong as Raditz, who was way beyond Krillin just a year before. He nearly finished off Vegeta in the end Goku talked him out of it. He with Gohan's help nailed Vegeta with a Spirit Bomb. After the end of the fight, he was the only surviving Z-Fighter who could still walk. If you watched the original series, Krillin holding the Spirit Bomb is awesome for another reason.

When Krillin was first introduced, he couldn't ride the Flying Nimbus because his heart wasn't pure. It remained that way all through Dragon Ball. Fast-forward to Z and Krillin is able to hold an energy ball that only the pure of heart can withstand.

This moment shows how far Krillin has come since that naughty little boy a decade ago. He's also inexplicably popular with the ladies. He dated Maron and eventually marries Android Pretty smooth for a little guy. His Heroic Sacrifice against Buu qualifies. When Buu shows up at Kami's lookout, Krillin tries to fight him anyway just to give everyone else a chance to escape, even though he KNOWS he doesn't stand a chance.

Everyone ends up dying anyhow, but you gotta give Krillin credit for at least trying. In another scene later on, Krillin risks his very existence to protect denizens of Other World and takes on Kid Buu.

He is already dead at this point, so if he died here, he would completely cease to exist. No resurrection, no reincarnation, nothing. Sadly, Kid Buu can regenerate, nullifying his efforts. The sad thing is, that would have worked on almost anyone else. Krillin also gets one in the movie Broly: Second Coming when he saves Gohan from the lava dressed as Piccolo.

Too bad the movie ends with him stuck on some rocks. Poor guy. Krillin has plenty of awesome to offer in the games. In his story mode from Supersonic Warriors , Krillin takes Goku's torch for Earth's protector after he dies from the heart virus, and after sparing 18, defeats Super Saiyan Vegeta to stop him from destroying 18 , and after some training from Goku, who had been granted one day among the living thanks to Baba, learns the Spirit Bomb and Kaio-ken , which he puts to good use to single-handedly defeat Perfect Cell.

And he tops that by taking on Majin Buu by himself and obliterating the Majin to nothing with a well-placed Kamehameha. Earth's strongest Earthling, indeed! When Vegeta and Nappa end up on the hostile planet of Arlia, they quickly discover the king is a corrupt tyrant and they deliberately allow themselves to be captured so they can ally with the rebels.

Then after escaping from their cell, the two of them singlehandedly decimate the king and all of his men including a giant insectoid monster while barely breaking a sweat. Vegeta is one of two characters to get up and keep fighting after being hit with a Spirit Bomb. The Oh, Crap! He survives so much that Krillin wonders if Vegeta is an immortal.

The best quote probably comes after he drops back to the Earth after being blasted in the air by the Spirit Bomb which, according to Daizenshuu 7 , had more than enough power to destroy the planet.

He looks to have been defeated, note Viz English manga translation. Krillin walks over to Vegeta, who is motionless in a heap on the floor. Krillin: He was one nasty guy, but a brave foe. I guess I'll at least dig a grave What a pity. What do we have here? Vegeta: Still think you can hang on long enough to steal my energy? Vegeta: Yes! That's the spirit, android! Cell : Agh! I am Cell! Do you hear me!?

Vegeta You are nothing. Vegeta: Welcome to the end of your life. And I promise; it's going to hurt. Still think I am bluffing? Vegeta: What are you gawking at?

What did you think, huh? That I was gonna roll over and die from an attack like that? You're nothing. Just a trickster. I am a warrior Vegeta punched the primal force of entropy in the face and drew blood. What a badass. Vegeta : At least if you'd stayed on your lilypad , then you wouldn't have had to die! His battle with Son Goku in the original Dragon Ball , Piccolo was so close to killing Goku that everyone thought he was dead. Blasting a hole through both Goku and Raditz. His speech to Vegeta and Nappa, telling the two Saiyans to Bring It ; "Thanks to you two, I've come to know that I have a home other than this one in outer space.

But this has been my home, and no man comes into another man's house and starts telling him what to do. You're out of line! We're not here to bow down to your demands, we're here to fight! So go ahead and do whatever it is you came here to do! Doore: It's all over for you, Namek! You're going to die! Piccolo: Not likely. I've seen you fight. Chichi may be an overprotective education mama , but she's definitely one of the strongest characters in the series.

Sure, she's a normal human, except for the fact she can Bully both Goku AND Piccolo into taking driver's ed in a filler episode all for the sole purpose of driving her around.

Terrorize both her husband and son and by extension Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, AND Vegeta into obedience by threatening to not feed them. Trained Goten to the point where he went Super Saiyan In the anime, she even took a kick from him in that form when he first transformed. She could stand up to Super Buu granted it didn't end well for her, but it was still pretty awesome. Chichi's greatest moment of the series happens offscreen: How she managed to get innocent , naive Goku to have sex with her at least twice, we will never know!

At several points Goku shows difficulties in controlling his ever growing strength. She's a walking crowning of awesome just for that.

From back in the days of Dragon Ball : Goku vs. Not only did Chi-Chi make it to the preliminaries during that World Tournament, but she also gave Goku a run for his money before he pulled out his special technique. This woman was made of steel. Despite being in the anime filler, she got one big time in the Trunks Saga. Gohan's Jerkass tutor learned one hard lesson Never talk smack about her family, or her husband!

Also, her dropping the jerkass mother of the jerk jocks during the Junior World Tournament Who Goten and Trunks beat easily with one punch. Chi-Chi: to Bulma, while dusting off her hands like nothing happened Who do you think taught Goten that move?

Bardock does it twice. First when he finds his comrades dead, and takes his bandage and wipes the blood off his dead friend's face before wrapping it around his head. Right before unleashing a can of whoop ass on Dodoria's men. Dodoria comes himself and blasts him with his mouth , leaving him for dead. Afterwards, he returns to his homeworld, and after failing to convince his fellow Saiyans that Frieza is planning to wipe them out , he charges towards his spaceship himself blasting past several henchmen and Mooks he shouldn't able to fight, and just to top it off, he fires a ''ki'' blast at Frieza!

Although then again, he was probably planning to kill him with that move, but Frieza replied by creating a massive Death Ball while laughing maniacally, easily nullifying the Saiyan's attack as he fired the ball at him, his soldiers who failed to hold him, and Planet Vegeta, killing all life as he annihilated the planet.

At least he died with a smile. Even Frieza acknowledges how awesome this act of a lone lower class soldier charging was by always remembering him , as his instant thought upon seeing Goku is recalling possibly the only person that made an impact among the billions he'd killed, through uncanny resemblance.

Yes, Bardock is so awesome that the Big Bad remembers him. Bardock's mission at the start of the special: wipe out the population of a planet inhabitated by ki-using Seers. According to Dodoria, no team in the entire Frieza Force dared to take the mission. Bardock's team did it in record time, only suffering a cosmetic wound to a member of the team and Bardock being given the ability to see the future and the impending destruction of his people without being able to stop it.

Speaking of Bardock, Burst Limit has a Moment of Awesome yes, the game has a Moment of Awesome with the first of its post game arcs which finishes in a dream match between Bardock and Goku with the theme song playing in the background.

The trigger to become a Super Saiyan is anger, and Bardock's rebellion is initiated by the discovery that Frieza's men have killed his fellow Saiyans, and under orders from Frieza himself. Sure they were as a race raised to be ruthless, but having clearly fought alongside them for a long time, they were probably the closest thing Bardock ever had to friends. When you consider this, and then his anger when finally face-to-face with Frieza, suddenly Bardock going Super Saiyan seems to have actually been very close to happening All he was lacking was a high enough power level at the time Toriyama outlined that Saiyans over , have enough strength to become Super Saiyans, and the Saiyan average goes between Raditz to Bardock's level at the start of his special , thus how rare it is and why there hadn't been any Super Saiyans in a millennium.

In the special below, Bardock recovers from a near death experience that claimed the life of his planet and its moon A spinoff manga showed that Bardock didn't die, but instead went back in time somehow. He then proceeds to become the ruler of what becomes planet Vegeta, defeats Chilled Frieza's ancestor and begins the Super Saiyan legend.

As an added bonus, he uses the same technique that got him killed in the movie to take Chilled down. The way Bardock becomes a Super Saiyan in the anime is quite awesome too. After being knocked about by Chilled and seeing him supposedly kill a young native, he kneels in the dirt, feeling pathetic to the point where he is implied to be crying, remembering what happened to his friends and his race, and blaming himself for being too weak to save them. Then his sadness turns to anger, and you get that moment where his shadow flashes yellow.

Then, after repeatedly glowing yellow, he turns around to face Chilled, seeing both him and Frieza at the same time. Chilled laughs, Bardock screams to the heavens, and finally becomes a Super Saiyan. He then proves that Goku inherited his badass gene from him by doing to Chilled what Goku did to Frieza: completely thrash him. See for yourself. After he becomes a Super Saiyan, watch the background.

Notice how he seems to pulse energy that shifts the color spectrum repeatedly? Yeah, that's a thing that, up until that point, was reserved for showing off how ungodly powerful Broly is. This means Bardock's transformation was reminiscent of Broly's. Bardock gets an epic line against Chilled in this fan dub right before he transforms : "I'll kill you where you stand! They fire on Bardock, only for him to flash step out their way, and then performing a One-Hit Kill with a gut punch to one and a roundhouse kick to the next.

Where is Mr. Satan on this list? The true Moment of Awesome for Mr. Satan has got to be his first appearance during the Cell Games Saga. Satan is played up as a complete badass by normal human standards , who unfortunately is probably weaker than Kamesennin's pet turtle.

Also, there's his attack on Cell before that. Didn't hurt him in the slightest because Cell is just that more powerful , but a normal human would have been defeated and likely killed at the first kick.

In the Cell Saga, Mr. Satan is ready to leave the place with his students, his arm candy and the TV crew when suddenly they hear a voice. They turn and see 16's head who pleads to them to take him to Gohan so he can talk to him. Everyone is convinced that this is a bad idea, yet 16 keeps asking this of Mr. Everyone says to Mr.

Satan that he should not do it, since Cell is standing next to Gohan and can kill him, and that no one will think less of him if he decides to walk away. His response? All these nobodies out there and even now a kid is fighting Cell, it would be shameful of a World Champion to run away. While mostly The Scrappy in this arc, this moment definitely foreshadows what's to come in the next one.

During the Buu saga, he commands the whole world to send their energy to Goku for his Spirit Bomb. Which they do. Goku has a weakness. In the manga, Trunks was able to turn SuperSaiya-jin before Gohan died. Since Future Trunks was the last remaining Saiyan, this means that his death officially marks the extinction of the Saiyan race. It also means that Earth is left to rot as a wasteland.

Baby is the only main villain whom Goku has defeated as a Super Saiyan 4. The rest of the main villains, Super 17 and Omega Shenron, Goku defeated in his child form. This would mean that his power level as a baby was stronger than Piccolo , Goku , and Raditz 1, combined. Yamcha has always lost in the quarter-finals of every World Martial Arts Tournament. He is either killed, severely injured, or already dead in every saga. Masako Nozawa is the original Japanese voice of Goku and has voiced him for the entire run of the show.
