| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Zomg! Like the announcer said "What could that transformation mean!?" Is it possible that he's a super Saiyan... no, I mean that's a Legend that only happens once every 1000 year right! lol Freeza is going to have a bad day next episode. |
| As much as I was looking forward to this episode, I was kinda disappointed. The english dub of the original dragonball Z is just so much better... |
 |
| kinda disappointed ... was expecting something more extreme before he become super saiyagin ... |

| all right!!!! super saiyan!!!! i just goes to show everyone has a limit where if you push them beyond it, your screwed |

| One of the most epic scenes of dbz! thought the soundtrack could have been better when he transformed or when krillin got killed. |
| Awesome episode, so much happened. He threw the Genki Dama, Krillin got killed, Piccolo got shot and he turned Super Saiyan. I agree the transformation seems less epic, but that's because Kai doesn't have all that filler-charging like Z did. I was thinking. In DBZ Goku returns to Earth in the Android (Future Trunks if you will) saga. But Kai is supposed to stop after 50 epi's, the Frieza Arc. Could they make a new ending to the series? The one Toriyama had in mind all this time? |
| Well, it's better than a whole episode of screaming AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... then turning super. |

I never knew he had a different ending in mind, thats kind of sad though as I was looking forward to the android saga especially seeing as I've never watched the original DBZ. But it would be nice to see what kind of alternate ending there is, assuming it doesn't end on a cliff-hanger to the next saga ofcourse. |
 I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list. |

Toriyama originally only planned Dragonball and Dragonball Z to continue up until the Frieza saga. But popular as it was, people convinced him to come up with more saga's. |
| Super Saiyan raaaaage~ Hoorah. Time to finish Feeeza off. |
 |
| Goku is finally a super saiyan to kick Freeza's ass. |

| Wow.. This episode was nice ^^ looking forward to the next one! |
thethorndog said: Dbz real ending is in Buu's saga. And kai is not finishing in 50 eps. read the mynaimelist page for kai. Furthermore, everything until buu's saga is real (except garlic junior) the only made up thing was GT. The end should had been when goku left with ubb Well, first of all nothing of it is real. It's fiction :P Secondly, I know that dbz runs till Buu. I'm saying Toriyama originally wanted to stop the manga/anime after the Frieza saga. But it became so popular that he continued. I'm not sure, but I think that was going to be the case with Kai. But I sure hope they continue. Also, the Other World Tournament was also a filler arc. |

So I assume that the Android/Cell Saga and Buu is included in DB Kai ;) Don't think 50 more episodes will be enough for android/cell AND buu saga. Android saga is a long long saga, you know ;) |
| Was really looking forward to this and enjoyed it but seem to remember it being so much more amazing. Did'n t like the new animation much. |
 |
| Well whatever happens to the episode count shouldn't concern us... what should is the little fact that what will happen to the next sagas,... Dunno how much they will cut them down, but at least me I will enjoy this director's cut of DBZ XD I liked this epi!!! After all it had what it needed... Our dear Goku transforming in the SSJ, and everyone being killed or shot down by the indestructible Freezer... Man that guy is unbelievable... to good the SSJ is already here to bust his butt... GO GOKU! Signs, Green |

| Everybody complains that it is not as dramatic as in the first... but you have to remember that at that time anyone who didn't read the manga didn't know what was going on... usually a surprise is more dramatic |

| Finally! SSJ is wonderful ;) |
 |
| Freeza can't stand up to the mighty SSJ Goku so he decides to blow up the planet. How pusillanimous. |

| i've been looking forward to this part of the saga since the saga began. hell yeah. |
 |
| Finally !!! |
 |
| Supaa Sayiaajin! Now it's going to get brutal! |

Traveller said: fixed. :3One of the most epic scenes of dbz!IN ANIME. |
| I thought he'd transform sooner than the end of the episode. Totally forgot that Kuririn dies . . . there isn't anything left! Poor dude. |
 |
| AWWWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAA SSJ GOKU BITCHES SHITS GONNA GET REAL NOW |
| The reason why I started Kai was to relive this epic moment. |
 |
| Super time!? HYPE TIME |
 |
| the funny moment where frieza just walked to the genkai dama xD no matter how much i know the the following, the first part of the episode just make me smile, the OST, the directing and the characters. i actually remember the death of kuririn have more impact in the original dbz, it just didn't made enough to realize why goku had been angry to reach the SS, the SS part on the other hand have better impact. i dunno though how they are gonna end the arc in 5-6 episodes, there's more of this arc. |
| Always great seeing Goku transform in his Super Saiyan form for the first time, sadly Kai didn't even come close to the same feeling the original Funimation dub had. Faulconer just brought so many emotions to the scene, Krillin's death was a lot more impactful aswell and maybe that's because we had so many more episodes to get invested compared to Kai's fast pace. I'll never be able to forget this amazing scene with Faulconer's track: |

| This is it, the first time we see goku become a super sayin |
| okay so that first ssj transformation was a lot more hype in Z right? it isn't just me? still enjoy kai ofc, I just wonder what it is that makes the Z version so much better to me, maybe a mix of multiple things |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| SUPER SAIYAN RAAAAAAAAAAA |
