DBZ Goku Turns Super Saiyan In Front the Androids

[wiiman]

Piccolo being Goku’s hype man in this scene will never not be hard asf.

[mustaineboots]

His screaming is so well done. Sean really accurately displayed how someone with heart disease would go super saiyan with that pain.

[Animaja]

The best part about this transformation is the strain in Gokus voice at 0:30, almost like its painful to gain that much power and bulk up your muscles in such a short burst.

This moment was so badass that Goku's heart couldn't take it. The hype was too much for it.

1:37 That old animation of the flowing hair with the SSJ aura... man, old Dragon Ball was the best.

[optimusprimus]

I miss how the animators emphasized the output of energy in the auras . How it'd gently flow then get violent when they'd output more. Or like when trunks sparred with Goku and their auras clashed and kind of exploda before returning to normal. And the sound effects man.. DBZ is a big show idk why they don't do this shit in DBS.

Back when ssj hair looks more fluffy and amazing, now they look shiny solid spikes attached to their head

God I love it when Goku is portrayed like this. "you may think you know everything there is to know about me, but really your not even close." it's so badass.

[TheAweman]

Poor Tien realized his dream to surpass Goku was over 😭

[reddevil]

I’m 33 years old right now and this still gives me goosebumps 20 years after seeing it the first time!!!

[jamesb]

Goku's SSJ theme is one of the best in the whole series. Just epic.

[mapleflavouredbacon]

I miss when Super Sayian was a big deal

[MP-qfgg]

I'll never forget seeing this for the first time. Such an underrated arc.

[JodaroKujo]

This is the Goku everyone wanted in dbs but we never got

[mickhack]

remember the times that being a SSJ in DBZ was an achievement? Pepperidge Farm remembers

[rosePetrichor]

There were little hints all through this scene that Goku was already suffering slightly from the virus. After the transformation he is sweating before he even begins to fight, and Piccolo is surprised-- this is because he trained with Goku during the three years before this fight and knew that Goku's power level was far below normal.

[AbsalonWhiteJr.]

This is hands down Sean’s best scream as Goku. I could feel it resonate through my body.

[undine]

They did a great job here. Beforehand, Goku showed the ability to transform much more easily. They chose to make it look more exhausting in this scene like it was when he first went super saiyan because of Goku’s heart disease. This is the sort of detail that takes creativity, no amount of animation funding can make up for this creativity.

[robhannigan]

The first I saw this episode. An that sweat dripping down his face. I knew it was the heart virus.

1:30 Piccolo has trained with SSJ Goku for years. He knew something was off right there.
