It's also the moment that it's firmly set in stone that his days of being a villain or anti-hero are truly over and that he's finally made the full transition into a hero (remember, when he's brought back to fight Buu by Yemma, Vegeta agreed without being given any indication or promise of a reward, which makes that a truly selfless act on his part, particularly since if he were to die in soul form he would cease to exist entirely to the point that not even the Dragon Balls could bring him back). Him coming up with the set of wishes during the fight with Kid Buu was pretty much the "formality" that confirmed to others like King Yemma that he truly had changed and become a far more selfless person, and thus deserved a second chance at life. Here, seeing Trunks so adamant about helping him probably gave Vegeta flashbacks to when Cell killed Future Trunks, and Vegeta was determined to not allow his son to get hurt or killed like that ever again, so he did what he felt was necessary to keep both Trunks and Goten safe. Plus, Vegeta's entire redemption arc in-universe takes a *_LONG_* time for him to shift from a Villain into a Hero, as in-universe it takes 11 years for him to complete his redemption arc.
This is my favorite moment with Vegeta, followed by "My Bulma" and "My Baby Boy", any time that Vegeta admits that he cares about his family, is his best moment. Here is to more Kai reactions, Vegeta, may he rest in peace for now.
@@cyclone8974But you gotta admit, the way TFS did this scene was incredible. Especially when they cut it to a black screen and just let it resonate. I'm honestly tempted to say they did it better than the original.
idk I feel like every death in this show is kind of ruined by the fact they come back later. Even in the same arc in this case. Kind of ruins the whole sacrifice if you know they will undo it in a few weeks.
@@GabrielLopez-pt2lx Even at the time as it was airing, I felt pretty much nothing because I knew he was coming back. If you didn't know he's coming back, I feel that's not understanding patterns in storytelling. I mean they have so many resurrection mechanics that are kind of shoehorned in as an excuse why people can come back, it's hard to assume they'll stay dead. It's kind of why I am always against that in storytelling. Rez kind of kills the enormity of death and turns it into an inconvenience.
There isn't a "Reset Button" for Vegeta this time, though. Even though he died doing the first selfless act he ever did, his sins were too great, and his soul is to be destroyed upon going to hell.
Sure it's an old trope but... nothing tugs at the heartstrings like an emotionally reserved hardass showing familial love in his last moments, going as far as to sacrifice himself. RIP Prince Vegeta🥲
This attack Vegeta used was called "The Final Atonement", it's where Vegeta turns himself into a super nuke and burns through all his energy reserves including his life energy. As the name implies, it's Vegeta's penance for all the sins he's committed in his life. For neglecting his family and all the planets he committed mass genocide on. He's truly sorry for all the pain and suffering he caused.
My love for Vegeta of increased when I was watching this episode... I was a Gohan fan but switched after seeing such a great character progression from the Prince
1. Vegeta's sacrifice is easily the crowning moment of his character 2. Piccolo taking the opportunity to go after Babidi is a fittingly smart move. Even in the event that Vegeta fails, Piccolo knew Buu would be less dangerous without a master to aim his destructive behaviour
For what it’s worth. Hit pause on this and watch the original version of this. Kai does really well on making a lot of the fights better quality but the original dialogue was beyond fantastic
Vegeta’s sacrifice here is so heartwarming although he didn’t like Earth or the Z fighters they grew him & he was willing to sacrifice his life for the planet & his family. Truly an amazing & inspiring moment
DBZA is a very "insider" type of club. There will come a time when someone sees one of the shirts and completes the saying. Then you will both just nod and everyone else around you will be confused. It will make your day!
So.... Goku's dead, on Earth with borrowed time. Vegeta's dead, freshly so. Gohan is out of the fight. But at least Boo is gone, right? Boo is gone -- Right? This, this was the episode I've been waiting to see your reaction of for all of this time. This is truly peak Vegeta!
"And so, one of the Earth's greatest warriors has vanished in a blinding flash of light, having made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of his loved ones. His name was Vegeta, a proud saiyan prince." -Narration from the original Z version. The way the original reads out "His name was Vegeta" still gives me goosebumps to this day.
That’s not the original dialogue. The original one hits way harder! When he tells trunks. Your my old child and I haven’t held you once. Come her my son! Then hugs him for a full min in silence. Then tell boo I will rip you apart and throw you into the wind 🔥🔥👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cool moment between Piccolo and Vegeta. Both found redemption by protecting the ones they love vs just striving to be all powerful. Great react vids!! Enjoying your guys positive vibes and laughs and enjoyment of this show.
Im glad you guys enjoyed Vegeta's Final Atonement. The second you said you'd watch Kai, I got so excited for this moment, especially how much you guys love Vegeta. RIP King Edit: yall take your lame ass argument elsewhere idgaf about your bullshit
I didn't like it. I mean I enjoy them watching the end of the Buu saga but kai makes everything so cartoonish. The original dub was so well done and gave the whole episode more weight than how kai does.
@@VenomKppI don't know if it's just because I'm nostalgic, but I prefer the Faulconer score over Kai most of the time as well. There are some really cool tracks in Kai, but a lot of the time the music doesn't fit as well.
The dialogue in Kai is much more accurate to the manga than the 90’s Z dub. The 90’s Z dub has tons and tons of translations errors that truly do affect the story being told. It changes character’s personalities to completely change who they are especially Goku. I grew up on the Z dub but if someone wants to watch Z and get the actual story they have to watch subbed but for Kai they can watch dubbed
@talrubin6977 but original English with falconer mix is so much more meaningful... the hells bells followed by the narration is just special. After watching the kai it's something that shud be seen
Vegeta's sacrifice is a truly amazing moment, you would never think at his first appearance he would go on to be a family man, living on earth, and as much as he denies it, Goku's best buddy, and eventually giving his life to protect his earthly family and the same planet he tried to conquer. It's him cementing his place as no longer a villain or walking in the grey area of an anti hero, to full blown hero.
@@artistanthony1007 i came to rewatch this video, and it still missed as much as i thought it did. The music and lines were better in z... And the narrator line bit was one of the worst things about the change😅
@@lizzyseybold whoa whoa whoa... What about goku's ssj transformation? Dbz had a horrible take, his scream was absolutely horrible. Kai might've done it better, but that's the only thing I can think of. The music in Kai is garbage tho
this is one moment u shud watch the original vegetas atonement... it hits different and so important to understanding his character I'd recommend u do a reaction to it. its not too long
This bittersweet moment is one of, if not just is Vegeta's best moment. It sucks that Vegeta had to die for it, but honestly? I don't think the turning point for such a self-assured, egocentric character could've happened any other way. But, if it helps, you guys can watch the first batch of clips TeamFourStar did for the Buu Saga (long story there, I'm sure others have touched on it). Since the first batch of clips ends with this very scene, you can go through it spoiler-free!
And so, one of DBZ's most beloved characters meets his end... RIP Babidi 😔😔😔 But really, this is THE iconic Vegeta moment, and your reaction to it did not disappoint! I love how almost half of this video ended up being discussion about it 🤣 I can get being disappointed with Krillin here, but even in-universe other characters told him he should lay low and stay outta the danger here, cause he's a wife and such a young kid - I'd have liked a bit more but it makes sense. A subtle character bit I do like how Krillin is the one shouting out to Vegeta full of concern as he blows himself up - quite the contrast to how Vegeta's first trip to earth ended, with Krillin grabbing Yajirobe's sword full of anger and despair to kill a defenseless Vegeta, with only Goku stopping him. The two of them have come far since then ✌
You can tell they have mutual respect for eachother, especially after what they went through on Namek and how Krillin still fights despite his weaknesses
for a while i was sad that you guys only watched abridged (apparently) but now i see youre watching kai and im glad youre getting at least one form of the REAL experience, and that its hitting you the same way it hit all of us
What is more impressive is that Vegeta did this despite being fully aware that he might go to hell and stop existing unlike Goku, because unlike Goku he is no hero and will not preserve his body and soul in the afterlife. His soul is supposedly going to get cleaned so it can reincarnate into another being and have another chance at life again. His goodbye was truly sincere, because once you are reincarnated you cannot be revived anymore.
❤Vegeta It's very famous for what he does. That's suicidal move Cause him his life Saving all his friends The move is call final explosion😭 all the fans love you Vegeta
The original dub has a part with Goten trying to leave while Piccolo where he says “If i were Gohan you would let me go!” I really wanted to see you guys’ reaction to that Line. Amazing scene nonetheless
I find the scene of Vegeta and Piccolo kinda funny because Christopher Sabot voices both of them, so he’s just talking to himself. Same with any scene of King Kai and Goku. Both are voiced by Sean Schemmel
On the upside, you can now watch the DBZA Buu Bits part 1without spoilers. TFS made some short Abridged clips for the Buu Arc and they have them up on their channel now.
i’m glad you guys have the opportunity to watch this show, and Kai improves on Z in a lot of ways, but scenes like this are DEFINITELY not one of those ways. Kai doesn’t hit anywhere near as hard as the original funimation dub
Vegeta's sacrifice is one of those scenes that always makes me shed tears. Another scene from DB that makes me tear up is on GT. Yes, they can say whatever they want about GT, but I'm one of those people who liked it. Hope you react to GT too after the Z series.
Vegeta has been wished back before. He can't be brought back again, just like Goku. It's technically permanent, so no Dragon Balls are gonna fix that one.
I'm amazed at how different the tone is from DB Kai vs the Bruce Faulconer version I watched. I'm a fan of the original Faulconer version and think it hits so drastically different with the different music score. They did not cover up the blood either.
One thing that was not the same in abridged and in og dragon ball was that the dragon balls could only, in og dragon ball, revive someone once That is why Goku turned Super Saiyan in Namek, because Krillin died and, as he had been brought back once, he could not be brought again. That is why Vegeta's sacrifice, among other things, is so meaningful
They mentioned it in Abridged as well. Abridged is the same as DBZ in that respect… True, Krillin couldn’t be wished back then, but then they wished back the people killed by Freeza and that brought back Guru and the Namekian Dragon Balls, which could bring him back. By this point in original DBZ there are at least a few people wished back twice, although not necessarily by the same dragon… But either way, hadn’t Vegeta only been revived by the Namekian dragon? So even if Shenron counted as the same Shenron after Dende took over and remade him, either Shenron hadn’t been used to wish Vegeta back, so it’s fine, or Porunga can wish people back multiple times, so he’s still fine if they go to New Namek and use their balls… But weren’t they going to wish Goku back after Cell and they only didn’t because he said not to? If they were going to do that, surely the current Shenron could bring back people that at least the old Shenron had brought back to life? It’s been a while and I may be forgetting details, but I’m pretty sure that there is at least one way that Vegeta could have been wished back at this point, unless something else prevented him from being wished back… Either way, the wishes shouldn’t be a problem, just how easily the wish could be made… So if he couldn’t come back, it wasn’t due to not being able to be brought back by a dragon. Unless I’m forgetting a key detail somewhere.
@@KitsyX No no, you're right. I said it only because I thought that abridged didn't specify that people could only be brought back once. Of course, in og DBZ the dragon balls keep getting upgraded until this is possible at some point. Another reason I made that comment was also to give more significance to Vegeta's sacrifice, because abridged may have led people who have not watched og DBZ into thinking that the dragon balls can always make up for everything that happens in the show, thus making the death of any kind of meaningless. Of course, I won't spoil for them when in the DBZ series the dragon balls get upgraded or if other dragon balls can or can't be used, so at the moment some characters, like Vegeta, are dead for sure.
this is always one of the top vegeta moments, but sadly for some reason the dubs dont make me as sad as the Subtitled one, i think mostly because they didn't have music throughout the whole scene and it was just the sounds so you were able to just feel as if you were there in the moment
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
Vegeta's atonement is definitely one of the best moments in all of dragon ball.
😢🤩
It's also the moment that it's firmly set in stone that his days of being a villain or anti-hero are truly over and that he's finally made the full transition into a hero (remember, when he's brought back to fight Buu by Yemma, Vegeta agreed without being given any indication or promise of a reward, which makes that a truly selfless act on his part, particularly since if he were to die in soul form he would cease to exist entirely to the point that not even the Dragon Balls could bring him back).

In the original version Vegeta hugged Trunks for almost a whole minute in absolute silence, taking as much time as he had left with his son.

He does say that with normal dragon ball z but here I dont know
Especially with the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack. It's like watching Nolan movies without Zimmer. Doesn't hit the same.

Vegeta's atonement is easily top 3 best moments in DBZ. :) it shows that even someone like Vegeta has someone that he needs to protect.
Too bad they experienced most of it in abridged.
Imagine if they saw Vegeta dying during the Namek saga. This is why I don't like when reactors watch Abridged before the series.

100%. In the original DBZ was x1000 times better than this (I mean the original, no the English version). Kai music is... horrible.
Vegeta knowing he was going to essentially hell (HIFL), still chose to sacrifice himself. Honestly this moment still gets to me to this day. 😢
Just as a neat tidbit, it is Hell, they called it HFIL in the English dub to censor the word HELL. They just slightly changed the E and the L lol
idk I feel like every death in this show is kind of ruined by the fact they come back later. Even in the same arc in this case. Kind of ruins the whole sacrifice if you know they will undo it in a few weeks.

Damn we could have had vegeta in TFS HIFL but he lucked out because buu was a menace that needed to be stopped.
One of Dragonballs' strengths is its ability to make you feel, even when you know there's a reset button
true but theres not infinite reset buttons. They can only wish someone back to life one time and vegeta died before lol
There isn't a "Reset Button" for Vegeta this time, though. Even though he died doing the first selfless act he ever did, his sins were too great, and his soul is to be destroyed upon going to hell.
You two are so wholesome and adorable in the beginning and by the end.. I feel you. It is great how much these characters grow to you.
We wouldn’t have thought it would get to this point when we first started checking out Dragon Ball 🥲
Sure it's an old trope but... nothing tugs at the heartstrings like an emotionally reserved hardass showing familial love in his last moments, going as far as to sacrifice himself.

You summed it up well 😢🤗
The team four star take on this part is great. After you watch the rest of this, definitely watch it

I find the scene of Vegeta and Piccolo kinda funny because Christopher Sabot voices both of them, so he’s just talking to himself. Same with any scene of King Kai and Goku. Both are voiced by Sean Schemmel
Great reaction guys
13:41 Fun Fact: "Final Explosion" is a name the fans named this move (at least i think so)
that's the name it had in most games
@@ssickhead1 true
On the upside, you can now watch the DBZA Buu Bits part 1without spoilers. TFS made some short Abridged clips for the Buu Arc and they have them up on their channel now.
i’m glad you guys have the opportunity to watch this show, and Kai improves on Z in a lot of ways, but scenes like this are DEFINITELY not one of those ways. Kai doesn’t hit anywhere near as hard as the original funimation dub
Yeah, I give Kai credit for giving something refreshed for the newer generation, but nothing can top that OG view from the early 2000s, music and all.
This scene every time make me emotional specially in og dubbed. Damn this’s what real man do and why this hit so hard.
Veery ironic you suggested instead of fighting they should try friendship to beat em 😌 lol
Vegeta with Trunks: "I love you" _incapacitates gently with a precise neck chop_
Vegeta with Goten: _GUT PUNCH!!!_ "HAHA take that mini Kakarot!!!"
It hits harder because u know he can’t be brought back with the dragon balls
Vegeta's sacrifice is one of those scenes that always makes me shed tears.
Another scene from DB that makes me tear up is on GT. Yes, they can say whatever they want about GT, but I'm one of those people who liked it. Hope you react to GT too after the Z series.
The original scene hits harder than Kai's version. If you see this, please look it up on youtube. It's worth it!
Beth looked like she was going to break down crying
Probably you already know this, but Team4Stars have released a 30 min special of the Buu Saga for an anniversary. You can watch the first half by now.
Vegeta has been wished back before. He can't be brought back again, just like Goku. It's technically permanent, so no Dragon Balls are gonna fix that one.
There is no advancement in the DBZ universe without sacrifice, which is what makes Super the revival that was both needed and deserved.
Vegeta 😢the prince
Remember being total heartbroken as a kid when reading this, since Vegeta was and still is my favorite character.
I'm amazed at how different the tone is from DB Kai vs the Bruce Faulconer version I watched. I'm a fan of the original Faulconer version and think it hits so drastically different with the different music score. They did not cover up the blood either.
All i wanted to say when i saw them cry at the end is: Guys... Dragon Balls!
It one of the best moment in the series.
I've been counting down to this episode
Vegeta's Final Atonement and the build up to it was done better in the original version- so much so that the various games base that scene off of it.
I can't wait for you to see how TFS did some of these scenes on their latest contributions.
One thing that was not the same in abridged and in og dragon ball was that the dragon balls could only, in og dragon ball, revive someone once
That is why Goku turned Super Saiyan in Namek, because Krillin died and, as he had been brought back once, he could not be brought again.
That is why Vegeta's sacrifice, among other things, is so meaningful
They mentioned it in Abridged as well. Abridged is the same as DBZ in that respect… True, Krillin couldn’t be wished back then, but then they wished back the people killed by Freeza and that brought back Guru and the Namekian Dragon Balls, which could bring him back.
By this point in original DBZ there are at least a few people wished back twice, although not necessarily by the same dragon… But either way, hadn’t Vegeta only been revived by the Namekian dragon? So even if Shenron counted as the same Shenron after Dende took over and remade him, either Shenron hadn’t been used to wish Vegeta back, so it’s fine, or Porunga can wish people back multiple times, so he’s still fine if they go to New Namek and use their balls… But weren’t they going to wish Goku back after Cell and they only didn’t because he said not to? If they were going to do that, surely the current Shenron could bring back people that at least the old Shenron had brought back to life?
It’s been a while and I may be forgetting details, but I’m pretty sure that there is at least one way that Vegeta could have been wished back at this point, unless something else prevented him from being wished back… Either way, the wishes shouldn’t be a problem, just how easily the wish could be made… So if he couldn’t come back, it wasn’t due to not being able to be brought back by a dragon. Unless I’m forgetting a key detail somewhere.
@@KitsyX No no, you're right. I said it only because I thought that abridged didn't specify that people could only be brought back once. Of course, in og DBZ the dragon balls keep getting upgraded until this is possible at some point.
Another reason I made that comment was also to give more significance to Vegeta's sacrifice, because abridged may have led people who have not watched og DBZ into thinking that the dragon balls can always make up for everything that happens in the show, thus making the death of any kind of meaningless.
Of course, I won't spoil for them when in the DBZ series the dragon balls get upgraded or if other dragon balls can or can't be used, so at the moment some characters, like Vegeta, are dead for sure.
Go what OG, not Kai this episode hits harder and with the og speeches hit the feels more
Vegeta on the end:
THIS IS SPARTAAA !
The thing about those who go to hell, they eventually reincarnate, so dragon balls aren't very reliable
this is always one of the top vegeta moments, but sadly for some reason the dubs dont make me as sad as the Subtitled one, i think mostly because they didn't have music throughout the whole scene and it was just the sounds so you were able to just feel as if you were there in the moment
