way to cook I remember the first time I
ever saw a dragon bald white it was that
moment when Goku demolished for Kumaon
Planet Namek and from that moment on I
was hooked on the Dragon Ball series
true this place is such a big part of
what makes the Dragon Ball franchise so
memorable and talking about them here at
the office we got to think and hey we
should probably show you guys the 10
best fights in the whole series we're
not gonna count super because that shows
not done yet and also that could be a
top 10 and of itself so I I'm nervous
like the screwattack's top 10 Dragon
Ball fights
number ten some dragon ball fights not
all but some fall into a predictable
pattern step one
try to be the bad guy step two be able
to beat the bad guys step three
Goku shows up and beats the bad guy
anyway what's cool about the first fight
against Roly is that it's everyone
versus Broly Goku piccolo trunks and
Gohan all carry their weight here don't
get us wrong we're putting it low on the
list for a reason
Vegeta spends most of the fight crying
the solution still ends up being let go
could do as Goku thing and we have no
idea how five healthy warriors are less
effective than one guy borrowing the
strength of four wounded ones but it's
still a different dynamic than almost
any other Dragonball fight and we can
respect it for that number nine
speaking of Goku hog in the spotlight
poor Vegeta man everybody seems to love
his character but it's so rare that he
gets to really shine if he had gotten
his revenge against golden Frieza we
would have put that way higher on this
list but since he got go cooed will have
to settle for Vegeta's butt-whooping on
android 19 for once
Goku got go coud by the Prince of all
Saiyans thanks to a convenient heart
virus and Vegeta got to carry a moment
all on his own not only was this the big
reveal that Vegeta had figured out how
to become a Super Saiyan it was also the
first time we got to see one of aji to
sting that removes the famous BIGBANG
attack it's really too bad Vegeta
doesn't get more moments like this
number eight not every fight has to be a
close one to be worthy of being on this
list it's okay for some of them to be
stumps as long as they're still
entertaining and you know what's
entertaining watching Nazis get their
comeuppance at the hands of some super
sand kids in the DBZ movie Fusion reborn
there's a side plot where Hitler and an
army of Nazi zombies start driving their
tanks through the city so Goten and
Trunks respect the crap out of their
opinions with the super ghosts kamikaze
attack he never thought so much loss of
life could be so beautiful
number seven truth be told it's just
barely even counts as a fight at all but
it's such a good moment that was
sneaking onto the list anyway by the
time cell had reached his semi perfect
form whatever is up with that name TN
had long since stopped being a relevant
fighter if you weren't a Saiyan a robot
or at the very least a green alien you
were basically just bad guy fighter TN
knew that but he also didn't care he was
his patented tri beam attack to pin down
cell and let Android 18 make her escape
sure he was pretty much just stalling
for time here but tans onslaught is just
too awesome to ignore by the way has
anybody else noticed how TN uses his
hands to make a triangle to shoot a
circle that makes his squared does that
work number 6 everybody knows that Goku
is constantly trying to push himself as
a fighter it's like what of his most
defining traits but that whole mentality
goes back to one specific fight Grand
Finals of the 21st World Martial Arts
Tournament the young Goku in training
took on master oh sorry
Jackie Chun in a match that gave us the
first ever beam struggle goku
transforming into the Azzaro and jackie
ton blowing up the mode but most
importantly after the most hard-fought
battle of his life Goku was at last
declared the loser of the fight and
because he lost word that there would
always be somebody out there stronger
than him which only motivated him to
push his own limits for the rest of his
life yeah it bummed him out for like
five seconds but then he ate like half a
million Zeni worth of food so you know
life was good no
fine Dragonball Z let you know right
away that stuff was gonna get real in
the lead up to DB Z's first major
showdown
the body count had already piled up with
some of your favorite characters from
the last series but it all came to a
head when Goku went face to face with
the same invader Vegeta you want
screaming power-ups you got screaming
power-ups you want beams struggles
you've got beam struggles you want giant
monkeys getting their tails cut off by
Samurai Jack black baby you're covered
but most importantly this was where the
legendary Goku Vegeta rivalry that
defined the rest of Dragonball was born
don't to be fair I'd also want revenge
for the rest of my life if I lost with
the naked kid landing on me
major props to the divas publicist too
though because if that leaked out in
this day and age he'd never see the end
of it number four for like 17 years
Dragon Ball had laid mostly dormant yeah
there was DBZ Kai in a couple of EA's
but nothing really earth-shattering
then in 2013 the clouds parted in Akira
Toriyama descended down on a beam of
light where he blessed us dear fellow
Dragon Ball fans with goku vs beerus the
battle of gods and we all proclaimed
hallelujah
unto us a new Dragonball movie is born
officially taking this metaphor too far
but hey technically this isn't Dragon
Ball super so we're not breaking our
rules here this is hands-down the most
beautifully animated Dragon Ball fight
on this entire list thanks to modern day
animation techniques there is a fluidity
to go-come beerus his movements that we
just didn't get in any other battle and
who here didn't get hyped when goku
screamed
this fight wasn't just important because
it meant more adventures for Goku in the
game it meant that we as Dragon Ball
fans had something to get excited for
again can I get an amen
number three if there's one thing that I
don't like very much about most fights
in DBZ onward it's that everybody is
like too good at fighting what I mean
here is every single character moves at
such stupidly high speeds that a lot of
the time they're barely even animated
yeah it's great for giving us a sense of
the level they're fighting at and all
but there's something to be said about
lower level fights to go back and watch
Goku vs. Crillon in Dragon Balls World
Martial Arts Tournament and you'll see
what I mean even though it aired way
back in 1988 this fight still has some
of the best animation and choreography
in the entire Dragon Balls storyline
like look at this it's so freakin good
on top of that it's also just full of
funny and clever moments that sort of
went missing from the series for a long
time
Goku using a kamehameha to smack himself
into Crillon gold and for that it's
still one of Dragon Balls very best
numbered to you all new this is gonna be
high on the list few fights in Dragon
Ball were as definitive as goku vs the
alien tyrant Frieza a couple important
firsts happen here that forever changed
the Dragon Ball story for one thing it's
the first time an entire planet got
caught in the crossfire of a battle not
to mention the unforgettable debut of
the super saiyan and that ending with
Frieza you know probably the most
gruesome thing I had seen in a TV show
the first time I saw that the entire
battle had this awesome sense of urgency
with a planet namek being torn asunder
right around Goku and Frieza that is it
felt until about 5 episodes after Frieza
said it'd be toast in five minutes it
just had to say 20 minutes Frieza 20
minutes or so that would have been way
more believable it's number one
the entire saga of Dragon Ball could
have ended nicely in a lot of places as
much fun as Super has been part of me
still wishes that the whole thing
concluded at the number one fight in the
entire franchise the climactic battle of
Gohan versus cell everybody who's seen
this epic fight knows why it's so good
it's the big payoff after spending all
of DBZ hinting at Gohan's hidden power
cell poops out some babies the baby's
hurt the good guys and Gohan explodes
and beats the crap out of cel we said
before that this whole fight was both
exciting and emotional when it
culminates in a single greatest moment
of DBZ the father-son kamehameha oh man
this part gets me every time you can't
see right now but I got goosebumps
if goosebumps could be picked up on a
mic you'd hear them Gohan versus L
raised the bar for Dragonball fights to
a height that in our opinion still
hasn't been topped if Dragon Ball had
ended there yeah we would have
definitely been sad but we would also
have been satisfied this episode secret
number 11 goes back to the og Dragon
Ball for Crillon versus Jackie Chun I
seriously don't know how this disguise
fooled anyone anyway we love this fight
for the moment when Crillon and jackie
do an attack so fast that nobody could
see it and then they spend three
straight minutes explaining what
happened it's super silly and we super
love it
