Transcript
00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the times Dragon Ball characters pulled off the ultimate flexes.
00:3010. A Lesson in Super Saiyan Vegeta's days of mayhem and mercilessly executing
00:39his foes may be behind him, but that doesn't mean he's not above teaching a wayward Saiyan
00:44a lesson in manners.
00:56After coming under attack from Broly and his pops, Vegeta takes the opportunity to demonstrate
01:02all the forms a Saiyan can attain.
01:18From the classic gold all the way to godly red, Vegeta schools his junior completely and
01:24utterly and it is amazing to watch, especially when rendered in such gorgeous animation.
01:319. The First Flash
01:46It's up there's a lot of Vegeta here, but when the Prince of Saiyans is pulling off stunts
01:51like this, it's impossible not to highlight them.
02:01After attaining his perfect form, Sal makes quick work of practically everyone, including
02:06Vegeta, whose pride and ego is instantly shattered when his punches stop making an impact.
02:12Vegeta pulls out all the stops, namely his ultimate finishing move.
02:27The blast is so intense that not only does it take off half of Sal's body, but also illuminates
02:48a fraction of the planet.
02:588. Goku gets back in the fight
03:01After exhausting the power of Ultra Instinct, it looked like Goku was out for the count.
03:06That would have been all well and good if it weren't for Jiren getting his second wind.
03:19Empowered beyond his maximum, the alien warrior lays waste to both Freeza and Android 17,
03:25dooming Universe 7's prospect of survival.
03:28That is, until a torn and tattered Goku emerges to throw himself back into the fray.
03:41And in doing so, unites two former enemies into a last bastion, while also letting loose
03:47some impressive ki energy.
03:497. Vegeta rises
03:59Tangoing with Kid Buu is no easy feat.
04:02The pink planet destroyer can knock around the likes of Goku when he's fully kitted out
04:07as a Super Saiyan 3.
04:09Oh man, I don't believe this!
04:11He's having the time of his life over there!
04:14So, you can guess just how badly he was able to smack around base-level Vegeta.
04:19And yet, despite being mauled and literally beaten into the ground, the Saiyan Prince refuses
04:26to go down without a fight.
04:33His sheer tenacity and unwillingness to fall is so intense that it even strikes fear into
04:42a creature as single-minded as Buu.
04:466.
04:47Gohan Gets Serious
05:01In what feels like the only time Gohan has truly been given respect since he defeated Cell,
05:07this brief yet glimmering brawl against Super Buu showcased what an adult Gohan would look
05:13like if he was still the main character.
05:24Following his training with the old Kai, Gohan makes a last-second appearance to save Piccolo
05:29and his brother, and single-handedly wrecks Buu in the most satisfyingly disrespectful way.
05:44It may not have lasted long, but this display of ferocity reminded us that Goku's firstborn
05:50is indeed a beast.
05:575.
05:59Goku No Cells – Freeza's Punch
06:02Goku and Freeza's long-awaited rematch within Super certainly had its peaks, especially when
06:07it came to the reveal of their newly acquired Ultimate forms.
06:135.
06:14Gohan Gets Serious
06:18Initially, it appeared that Golden Freeza was able to match Goku beat for beat, perhaps
06:23even best the likes of Super Saiyan Blue.
06:26That is, until Goku shut him down with this epic display.
06:326.
06:33Gohan Gets Serious
06:35Not only does he eat one of Freeza's punches without flinching, but responds in kind with
06:44a one-inch strike that leaves the tyrant reeling.
06:48That's hardcore.
06:496.
06:50Trunks Destroys Future Androids
06:55While the likes of 17 and 18 in the current timeline were able to redeem themselves, that
07:06was not the case for those who resided in Trunks' future.
07:13The last time the son of Vegeta encountered this lethal duo, they decisively wrecked him,
07:23this time, very different results.
07:33Thanks to the intense amount of training he endured, Trunks was on a whole different level,
07:39which he swiftly proved by annihilating 17, 18, an imperfect cell like they were Cybermen,
07:46avenging all he had lost in the process.
07:49Payback is sweet.
07:523.
07:53Super Saiyan 2 Not since his daddy first went golden,
08:03as a transformation rocked the foundations of anime itself.
08:074.
08:08I know because I too have learned these feelings, but it is because you cherish life that you
08:14must protect it.
08:174.
08:18After some encouragement from 16, followed by Cell killing him, Gohan finally snaps and showcases
08:24the latent power he had inside him.
08:265.
08:27This new form not only comes with plenty more hair spikes, but a zero tolerance for Cell's
08:39wicked ways, leading to Gohan laying down the law and beating the perfect android and his
08:45progeny to near extinction without breaking a sweat.
08:565.
08:57This point in time, Gohan was the single strongest character the series had ever seen, and it
09:02was amazing to witness.
09:035.
09:04Now's your chance!
09:056.
09:06Final Atonement
09:08Vegeta's relapse into evil initially looked like the end of any kind of redemption arc
09:23he had been building towards.
09:30Happy to embrace the dark side again for another chance to best Goku, he had traded his new life
09:36away then and there.
09:38And then he turned everything around with an act that was as selfless as it was demonstrably
09:43amazing.
09:445.
09:45I think I finally understand you!
09:48Let's go!
09:49Facing off against Majin Buu, Vegeta unleashes an attack of such magnitude that it claims
09:55his own life in the process, but not before giving his final farewells to those he now realizes
10:02he's come to care for, including Goku.
10:056.
10:06Trunks, Bulma, I do this for you, and yes, even for you, Kakarot.

10:40I Am Son Goku The debate around Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball
10:45Z Kai in terms of overall quality is likely never going to end, but damn if the latter didn't
10:51do justice to one of Goku's greatest moments.
10:581.
10:59After attaining the power of Super Saiyan for the first time, Goku reveals to Freeza exactly
11:08who and what he is with a speech that makes both his enemy and the planet itself quake.
11:152.
11:16We'll always enjoy the ally to good, nightmare to you angle, but this right here?
