| Nice to see launch again although we won't be seeing much of her anymore, kinda sad they sorta forgot about her in DBZ she was one of my favorites in Dragon Ball. Anyways good start to the fight, next episode things should really start heating up. |
 |
| Oh boy this sure was an intense packed episode, things sure are getting great! |
 |
| Nice fight so far, let's see how much more intense it can get. |
| That headbutt was straight savage, I just love it when Goku fights all wild like that. |
| izs getting intense now |
 |
| About time this fight started. |
 |
| Showdown at high Noon ;) The start was clearly inspired by some western movies imo. Vegeta so much the alpha guy, lol. Earth is shaking, very impressive though. And Goku straight on to 3xKaioken. And his strength is at 20.000 range. Remember vs Radditz he was 1/20 of that approx. So with Kaio he got 20x as strong, sick sick sick. Very interesting this episode we learned Goku all earned his skill not by talent but hardworking will. Opposed to that the talented Vegeta. |
 |
| One of the most iconic anime fights just started. I was waiting for this. We got to see one last time Launch in this series, kinda sad. |
_Tokumei-no_ said: I heard this is the last time that Lunch would be shown in the series, bar flashback scenes. This is really unfortunate. I like Lunch. She added more flavor in the original Dragon Ball. Indeed. At least, in the anime, she's among the ancient characters (Muscle Tower villagers, etc) that got a "special appearance" for ... @_Tokumei-no_ Probably because there was less and less room for her (just like Oolong, Yamcha, Pilaf, Tao Pai Pai, Yajirobe and others characters "from that era"). But unlike some of them who saw very minor usage again a moment or two in the manga and more often whole air-time filling scenes in the TV show, she didn't get her comeback (except for that one scene). In regard to Lunch exclusively, I'm pretty sure Toriyama simply forgot about her: he had'nt much occasions to feature her and he usually forgets things. Again, don't look too far when searching for explanations about Toriyama's choices: A) it's here because he liked it (american comics or films, chinese films references etc), B) it's not here anymore because he forgot about it, C) the sudden turn-around happens because it was thought about over the last week(it's a weekly serial that has to let the reader want more, so inventivity often comes from not planning anything). This doesn't prevent some actual clever exploitations (and contradicting a past element/info can even be done in an intelligent way). D) I guess you got the idea. ^^" |

| Man that is some power!!! I wonder how earth is holding up against these. This is way too much. None of them are less. Oh and Vegeta is a prince. I assumed this before. I mean who could be so powerful to survive a planets destruction. But Goku is also doing incredible things. Triple powerful Kaio-ken attack!! This could be too rough on Goku But I think he can handle it. Oh So he is still alive. Yajirobe now you are just a burden here. Brave warriors died and I don't understand what is his purpose to live. He is only superior at one thing I think and that's eating :p |
| Great start to the fight nice to see launch |
 |
| The DBZ episode of all time |
          |
| This is possibly the most iconic anime episode of the universe, but darn I hate the rhythm of the Z anime, just fight goddam ! |
