This fight Changed me as a kid I had never seen anything like this fight up until that point. Literally watched it over and over non stop as a kid and never got bored of it.

[DVLMANGA]

This is without question one of the most iconic Anime fights in history.

Its easy to look back at flaws in 1980's shonen tier writing...but even still, it holds up well till this day. Which is a testament to its influence

[Xnaut]

It's kinda amazing just how critical this one fight is for the identity of the Dragonball franchise. The buildup to this fight was laid out brilliantly with all the previous conflicts on Namek and even the Saiyan Saga prior. The use of so many techniques from both Goku and Freeza is beautifully choreographed, and the display of power is arguably the best in the series. It's questionable if Dragonball would've still become the global phenomena that it is if this fight wasn't as legendary as it was, and now this is the golden standard that all other shonen manga, and even some western media, bases itself upon.

Best thing is that Frieza destroyed an entire race to avoid the legend of the Super Saiyan only to be responsible for the birth of Son Goku the Super Saiyan.

I love that Goku's bite is his most painful, and effective technique. So many can tank a Kamehameha, but nobody is tanking those teeth.

Frieza is a perfect and iconic villain similar to Emperor Palpatine: not just evil, *delightfully* evil. He revels in his own evil and this makes him the perfect opponent for Goku

Doesn’t get anymore classic DBZ than this. This will forever be one of my favorite moments in all of animation, where a super saiyan finally awakes after a thousand years and makes the emperor of the universe shutter in fear and beg for mercy.

[jessedellross]

I love how a good part of the fight takes place over 5 minutes in the DBZ world.

Which equates to several 30 minute episodes in our world

When Goku reached Namek by crash landing
It really felt like "Hope has arrived"

[Hokagevigo]

To me, this was the fight that pushed Goku to his limits. Even my mom was watching DBZ with me and my brother back when it aired on Toonami. She made jokes about Frieza but was interested just as we were.

[Zetaforce-uvel]

The longest 5 minutes in television history is one of the greatest fights ever .Despite its problems Goku VS Freeza is a masterpiece with its themes and action scenes.

[grapesh]

I had been watching DBZ since the Saiyan arc was in syndication but it was this fight and that made me an absolute maniac for the franchise. Watching Goku go SS for the very first time on Toonami - the first time they ever aired that episode - wow, I’m so glad I experienced that.

[Marlo_]

The birth of one of if not the most iconic transformation in anime history 🔥

[gman-]

I love how goku roasted freeza, not only beating him down, but straight talking smack. love it

[DifferentLevels]

Goku's acceptance of his Saiyan heritage is the key to his UI as well. That's what Whis was telling him in the end of the last Maga Chapter. "Who are you" -Whis

[el_solo]

I remember seeing this fight with my dad. Now I got a son and the 3 of us will watch this fight together. 3 generations.

[alexgamer]

To this day even after watching countless other anime, with animation far FAR better than Goku vs Frieza, this fight still remains the number 1 for me and always will.

[Bearwolf]

The rest of Dragon Ball is great and I'm glad we got more arcs then and now, but if the series ended at Goku vs Frieza you can't really complain cause it's the perfect story. You really feel like everything comes full circle...

[Mephil]

I love that SSJ goku has sharp speech bubbles instead of rounded, just like every villain has in DBZ. So when in SSJ, goku was a stone cold killer like them.
