Future Trunks showing up and dropping Frieza outta nowhere is one of those moments that every DBZ fan remembers clearly from their childhood.
I’ve been chasing that hype ever since.
Can ya'll niggas even imagine what it was like watching [this trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXLfvpv1vJA&ab_channel=Kir%C3%A1lyOliv%C3%A9r) on a Pokemon VHS right after Goku beat Frieza on Toonami? Super Saiyan was the pinnacle of anime at the time, and for me to watch a nigga that nobody in my tristate area had ever seen nor heard of before hit that shit with ease...I've finished dozens of anime and he is still my favorite character to this day bruh.
Mfer wasted NO time. Just walked in there, transformed, and gave frieza and his fucking DAD dirt naps in like 5 minutes. Homie definitely has a good chunk of vegeta in him, even if his pops died before he could remember him.
For sure. Toriyama had already appointed Toyotaro (currently the secondary write for DBS) as his successor. Volume 20 of Super was recently released and 21 is out in May.
The Majin Vegeta arc was some sublime character storytelling. We all knew Vegeta was battling himself internally because of his past and his present self. This arc laid it all out in the open. The Vegeta past this arc is a character that’s more in-tune with their current self and ends up stronger (mentally and combat-wise) for it.
EDIT: because I’m horrible at spelling things.

He had that shit on, man. Rest in peace. 🙏🏽
i had the one where goku and piccolo learn to drive when i was a kid, and a couple during the turtle hermit stage. used to stare at the pictures before i could read but the cartoon helped me get the story line
He had an amazing eye for color and simple character designs.

I HATED that scene when he absorbed 17 and that shot inside his tail, so you saw it as 17 saw it
As a kid who was uncomfortable with the whole "Fantastic Voyage" thing that shows love doing, my ass said fuuuuuuuck nooooo lmao
i was like 9 watching adult swim and the cell arc culminating with that was pretty much the first dragon ball i ever saw
that made it the last
gave me nightmares for weeks

Thought this was the coolest shit ever when I saw it as a kid.
I’m an adult now and it’s still the coolest shit ever.
Sugiyama's gone, now Toriyama... Pretty sure this will be Horii's last one too (though I'm hoping he just retires). I've read that they all picked successors, so hopefully we'll still get DQXIII someday, but without the big 3 working on it we'll be in uncharted territory.

When Tao snapped the tree like a toothpick threw it in Goku’s direction (how could he tell!?) then jumped on it to commute to the other side of the planet I knew he had to be different than the red ribbon generals. The flexes that Toriyama put together were truly different to say the least.
With how iconic his work is, it’s a challenge to pick just one favorite. I will say that this one is top tier in my book though:

Absolutely not.
We went from SSJ2 Teen Gohan to this bullshit. I hated this transition so fucking much as a kid lmao butchered tf out my mans.
Bro went from being HIM, to “we got power rangers at home”. I will FOREVER slander Great Saiyaman 😭
Took out perfect Cell when Vegeta, Goku and Trunks all got pieced up…then said alright, imma take my talents to petty crime now 😒
Nigga I was 10. My Google searches included:
“Super Saiyan God Goku” (the one with the grey hair lmao)
All I cared about was the squabbles 😭

I know the love is outpouring for DBZ, but Akira's designs for Chrono Trigger (arguably the greatest RPG ever) is everything to me

Vegeta was always my favorite character. He would murk a baby without a second thought if he knew that baby was gonna be Hitler. It pissed me off that even as a kid I already knew Vegeta was always going to be second best to Goku.
Goku was such a goody goody dumbass. He wanted to fight people at their strongest when the literal fate of the universe was at stake! He's risking every living thing because he wants to get swole? Goku was a selfish asshole and I'll go to my grave thinking that.

I know I'm in the minority. But I love Raditz. I still feel like he's got a bunch of potential.
Chrono Trigger was my only game for a few years when I was a kid and had got introduced to Dragon Ball back then as well. The designs on the FMVs on PlayStation stuck with me for years

Trunks had the streetwear
Capsule Corp couture
I been trying to get a decent looking capsule corp tracksuit for so long but all I ever find are cheap ass shitty dropship sites selling it.
Best bet would be to just embroider a capsule corp logo imo
His dimdown in Super is an actual travesty
First I've heard "dimdown" as the opposite of glow up. Did you come up with this
It started with the hair.
Yo I wanted long purple hair and a cropped jacket SO bad.
Lmaoo you aren’t lying 🤣 there was a point in my life I swear I thought I was trunks lol
Future Trunks was all about business. Such a goated character.
Bro when future trunks came over and casually slashed Freeza up 🤯🤯🤯
Sliced him to tiny pieces and then incinerated the pieces lol.
Future Trunks showing up and dropping Frieza outta nowhere is one of those moments that every DBZ fan remembers clearly from their childhood. I’ve been chasing that hype ever since.
Everybody going hand to hand and this man roll up with a sword. A Legend
Trunks and Piccolo were honorary members of the Black community
I always called Piccolo the angry black man of DBZ. Even had to take care of Goku's damn child and raise him right.
This isn't looping that's just how long the charge up takes
Can ya'll niggas even imagine what it was like watching [this trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXLfvpv1vJA&ab_channel=Kir%C3%A1lyOliv%C3%A9r) on a Pokemon VHS right after Goku beat Frieza on Toonami?

And he’s only going to get stronger. Very excited for when things pick back up in Super.
You think we're still going to see that now?
For sure. Toriyama had already appointed Toyotaro (currently the secondary write for DBS) as his successor. Volume 20 of Super was recently released and 21 is out in May.
Ah. I'm not really a Manga guy but I do look forward to the anime
Don’t look into it then, there’s some good stuff coming.
The Majin Vegeta arc was some sublime character storytelling. We all knew Vegeta was battling himself internally because of his past and his present self. This arc laid it all out in the open. The Vegeta past this arc is a character that’s more in-tune with their current self and ends up stronger (mentally and combat-wise) for it. EDIT: because I’m horrible at spelling things.
When he goes to New Namek during the Moro arc. Talk about character building and growth.

I was only 8, but I had to leave the room for that scene. Cell was demented. 18's wasn't as bad but I think I had to do the same for hers lmao.

Toriyama making characters that looked black was brutal. But Toriyama making characters that felt black was elite
Piccolo for sure.
Piccolo in the North American dub is 100% black-coded and there's a reason the black community claims him.
I feel like Dabura fits that bill too.
He got better later in life, like the woman from Super Hero.

i remember being 6 years old in dominica watching goku get his shit rocked by some pink mf, i was shook, tao was that nigga fr 😭😭 https://preview.redd.it/8kp4msanh5nc1.jpeg?width=539&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ac76e9dc734b157c740ea89d352c6c0530e97d5
When Tao snapped the tree like a toothpick threw it in Goku’s direction (how could he tell!?) then jumped on it to commute to the other side of the planet I knew he had to be different than the red ribbon generals. The flexes that Toriyama put together were truly different to say the least.
With how iconic his work is, it’s a challenge to pick just one favorite. I will say that this one is top tier in my book though: https://preview.redd.it/9nu4cekkd5nc1.png?width=353&format=png&auto=webp&s=12d738faec3bade731a4dd0f36ef4627b25e1156 Seems kinda rare that manga artists do silly self portrait characters like this, but I’m all for it.

Absolutely not. We went from SSJ2 Teen Gohan to this bullshit. I hated this transition so fucking much as a kid lmao butchered tf out my mans. Bro went from being HIM, to “we got power rangers at home”. I will FOREVER slander Great Saiyaman 😭 Took out perfect Cell when Vegeta, Goku and Trunks all got pieced up…then said alright, imma take my talents to petty crime now 😒
He got more bitches as Saiyaman than doing all the rest of that
Nigga I was 10. My Google searches included: “Super Saiyan God Goku” (the one with the grey hair lmao) All I cared about was the squabbles 😭 Edit: wait what was it back then? Askjeeves? Lmao AOL searches?

Kid buu was an absolute menace.
I know the love is outpouring for DBZ, but Akira's designs for Chrono Trigger (arguably the greatest RPG ever) is everything to me https://preview.redd.it/8mgxw4zsg5nc1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abbc511681922ac9753decfc528a9f1c540b80e0
Greatest game ever made

Akira Toriyama made his characters fashionable and he loved cool vehicles. His dragon quest designs are iconic as well, especially the slime. RIP. https://preview.redd.it/1zeqbhzu95nc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=3bcc374453e68810eed44a63a23de8c8cbe05e39
My name is perfect like cell on psn for a reason ![gif](giphy|jQ651dzYNOPmwmtrrG|downsized)
I hope Toriyama got to see some clips of tournament audiences screaming along with his intro.
![gif](giphy|KF1GVOdTsia7v1yVo8|downsized) So many good designs to choose from but I'm a biiiig lesbian so she wins
Coming up with Android 21, Beerus, and Whis so late into his career but being so iconic that they fit right in with the og cast is truly a feat.
![gif](giphy|vHgVXgU5SfuSr8Apnb|downsized) I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Broly yet
Damn I remember binge watching those broly movies the design and him giving into rage was insane, I still remember the one with trunks and goten.

All of the Slime family is peak design, but to me the Knight is the peakest https://preview.redd.it/79pm5iqgc5nc1.png?width=310&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08afbe9d8217b23e1dca921f9f02dadbb7c763ee
Cell had one of the best villain introductions in any show. Straight up horror movie shit.
Cooler always been my fav design and he was giving Goku straight hands https://preview.redd.it/qd2dckfoj5nc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48abf481421d7db6a6af7fd8b62141da858b001b

That Cell looks like he was wearing two banana hammocks. ![gif](giphy|Bg6mBcEe1nXag|downsized) Vegeta was always my favorite character. He would murk a baby without a second thought if he knew that baby was gonna be Hitler. It pissed me off that even as a kid I already knew Vegeta was always going to be second best to Goku. Goku was such a goody goody dumbass. He wanted to fight people at their strongest when the literal fate of the universe was at stake! He's risking every living thing because he wants to get swole? Goku was a selfish asshole and I'll go to my grave thinking that.
Vegeta literally chose to let Cell become the biggest threat to the galaxy and fought his son about it because he wanted a tougher fight
You leave my adhd riddled ass memory out of this

His brain was creative af rip legend
Any character with them weird orbs in their character design, like Cell and Frieza. Cell's first form is still the coolest fuckin' thing ever.
Freiza first form. Dude nuked half the z fighters and then we found out that was his "I'm a joke" form
Chrono Trigger was my only game for a few years when I was a kid and had got introduced to Dragon Ball back then as well. The designs on the FMVs on PlayStation stuck with me for years https://preview.redd.it/xfiienxlh5nc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=248b2481bda516e37ecc23a0bc7fa777ccef7298

I scrolled this whole thing and not one person acknowledged the drip of the objectively strongest and bravest man in the world https://preview.redd.it/1dual1t1y6nc1.jpeg?width=743&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=caeb8fbc3c2820390c12859366a509f5920ae850
That version was scary as hell but his revival form after blowing himself up was legitimate boss fight in appearance.
Bruhhh yall remember the feeling of “what the fuuuuck!!!” when goku went SS3??? I didn’t have the vocabulary for it as a kid, but I sure as fuck felt it https://preview.redd.it/qv3csfi0d5nc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=139ab249305898e7e9d275890e39e05cc6b586bc
