I am a 62-year-old man, my son is 36. We both been watching dragon Ball since it started back in the early 1980s. It's truly an amazing anime the best out there.
Trust yourself, when you have a child boy or girl, introduce them to it. They will love it, I love every series can't wait for the next saga to come out. It truly is better than a garbage they have out today.
Bro you are a champ for keeping your emotions in check and due to that your girl was able to fully experience what we all did back on that faithful day this episode first aired. Her reaction made me feel like I was looking at a reflection of my younger self full of excitement and all hyped up. You're a true fan for not spoiling it for her bro 👍
I was about to explode! I went through the entire range of emotions a person can possibly go through! I had to shut up so she can experience it just like we did all those years ago!!!!
I saw that and absolutely loved it! She kept looking at him for a reaction, but he wasn't giving her anything. He let her experience it all for herself in real time just like we did way back when!
I was thinking the same thing. I could see you struggling but you pulled through to let her experience it....even despite her looks at you for something.....truly commendable. Plus you have an awesome girlfriend who wants to experience these things with you.......such a good woman and hope you have a long lasting relationship. All the love ❤
Exactly! I’ve seen similar videos of other couples were the girl reacts like she did, and then the boyfriend would reply to everything she says to a point they constantly talk over what they’re reacting to. This guy here handled it perfectly by not responding to her hence the reason why her first time reaction is golden.
She just witnessed the most iconic and important moment in anime history for the first time and she had the exact same reaction we all did. Pure amazement and joy.
@@locomojoboy2 this scene basically started the anime cliche of "losing a friend, getting angry, get a power up/transformation and beat the heck out of the enemy".
@@montylean9663 maybe more badass but definitely not more iconic. Remember this was the first time being introduced to SSJ and all the emotion leading up to it and the way it was done was superb

That little wholesome time they had together before frieza showed up is like an intermission of the movie and a break before one of the most heated fights in anime history 🔥
Frieza saying "Pop goes the weasel" while laughing after killing Krillin still makes me laugh out loud to this day. Well done for not spoiling anything and especially well done to your partner Madison for taking the time to watch this classic DBZ arc. May I suggest Gurren Lagann for a future video. I promise it will not disappoint :)
Baris brother, I'm turning 30 on July 30, you're almost as old as I am, and we older people have to admit that this anime is the foundation and root of all Shonen copies that are known today, and that for us as members of the older generation, this to be an irreplaceable series no matter how old this classic is and no matter how old we are 💪
After this I’m sure it won’t be “Making my Girlfriend React” anymore, she’ll definitely be sold on DBZ after watching Goku become a Super Saiyan for the first time😀
Totally give you props for keeping a straight face for the transformation part, way too cool and hard to keep my excitement after so many times seeing this scene.
Even now all those years later since it first happened, seeing goku so SSJ for the first time still brings tears to your eyes out of just how awesome his first transformation was!
There are two phrases that fit Goku's first ever transformation into a Super Saiyan perfectly: *"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in a storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."* and the other phrase: *"Demons flee when a good man goes to war."* Plus, the build-up to this moment was done perfectly. We are only given hints about it, while any further information remains vague, primarily through Vegeta's internal monologues and thoughts referencing the old legend. First, Vegeta mentions the legend of the Super Saiyan after witnessing Goku wiping the floor with Recoome, even hinting that Goku himself could have become that legendary warrior. Then there's Vegeta's clear obsession with said legend hinting that it really may be more than a mere legend or myth. We see Vegeta mention the legend several more times, deluding himself that *he* will be the one to achieve the form, only for Frieza to snuff out Vegeta's hopes at bringing that legend to life by ruthlessly killing a battered, broken, and defenseless Vegeta. But then we see Goku holding his own even against Final Form Frieza, a feat that not even the newly revived and empowered Piccolo could achieve, only for it to later be revealed that Frieza is *still* holding back severely and isn't even using 1% of his full power, suddenly tipping the scales back into his favor heavily, forcing the team to pin all of their remaining hopes on Goku's Spirit Bomb. And yet, even the Spirit Bomb is insufficient to end Frieza, who then mercilessly strikes down Piccolo, before he then turns his attention to the defenseless Krillin, and before the horrified eyes of the helpless Goku & Gohan, Frieza mercilessly slaughters him. And then....it finally starts to happen. Goku displays more rage and anger than we've ever seen from him, we see him turning almost.... *feral* out of sheer rage and fury. The usually laid-back, cheerful, and gentle Goku absolutely seething with fury and outrage as the skies begin to darken, lightning arcs down from the clouds, and the surrounding seas begin to churn. And then Goku unleashes a scream of primal and unrestrained fury as he's enveloped in a golden light, and then we finally see for the first time the birth of this legendary "Super Saiyan" that Vegeta had been so desperately pinning his hopes on....in Goku. With Goku having become, in a way, an "avatar" of vengeance....for Vegeta, for Krillin, for the Saiyan race, and for all of the other helpless lives and worlds Frieza had mercilessly slaughtered without the slightest shred of remorse. And for the very first time, we finally get to see an expression of pure undisguised *fear* and *terror* on the face of the usually smug and arrogant Frieza. All of that build-up was done perfectly, and that is what made this moment so special, especially to those of us who grew up watching it as kids and teens.
This is what made Super Saiyan so great as a story arc. It wasn't just about the form or the power or anything, it was the foreshadowing in the form of the legend that made this transformation such an epic finale to this saga. Also, while the introduction to Broly and his Ikari forms were attempted to be portrayed as the "legendary" forms, it was the thing of Goku that was the legend, as the manga (through the voice of Vegeta) itself narrates the legend about Yamoshi, a Saiyan, who after seeing his best friend slain by the evil Saiyans he was fighting, broke all his barriers out of pure rage and transformed into this form. Goku's situation parallels this legend exactly. He was fighting an extremely evil yet powerful foe in Frieza. He was cornered against his opponent, and then saw his friend being killed by the same foe. His rage exploded and he went "feral" as you mentioned it. So we can say, Goku became the "legendary warrior" who transformed into the super saiyan, as was prophesized by Vegeta. Also, the feral nature could be seen in the fight between Goku and Frieza. While the calm and normal Goku would only seek to defeat and incapacitate his opponent, this time, he was fighting to cause pain, to injure, to kill Frieza, even going to the extent of taunting Frieza when he tried to run away.
The first time when i see Goku's transformation Super Saiyan when i was child before 20 years i was so happy and i was crying... It was the best thing have ever seen in my life!!🤪 And i was can't waiting for the next week for the next episode in TV to see the Super Saiyan. 🤩💥😉 Great memories!!! 😉
That scene is my top favorite scene in all of DBZ and this episode is my favorite along with the original Toonami version of "Ginyu Assault"! Madison's reactions to the transformation were awesome ("did he just get struck by lightning" 😂) and you're awesome for not saying a thing and just looking dead into the camera at key moments lol. Question: before this, did Madison ever ask you why the figurenes of Goku you have back there look the way they do? 😂
She didn’t know it was Goku! Towards episode 86, she started to realize that it may have been him as a super saiyan but it wasn’t confirmed until this episode! Goku had black hair for 95 episodes straight and the physical appearance of a super saiyan was never described in the show :)
I kept replaying every bit of her reaction over and over again. It was such a joy to see. I’m just glad she stopped looking at the camera in time to see it.
This is the most hype I’ve been for this episode since I first saw it! It really feels like I’m watching this show for the first time. Love your reactions!
For someone that grew up watching most of this series alone, thank you for making this channel. It’s like being able to revisit my childhood, being being able to enjoy the rest of it with a friend.🙂
Also, may i share a fan-made animation that makes this episode look so much better. I know it’s really late, but… 🤷🏻♂️ ruclips.net/video/2mtQcM5ByxQ/видео.html
Goku :Frieza! Stop this! Krillen : Goku!!! Help me! (Krillen goes boom) Frieza: Pop goes the weasel. Goku: I won't let you get away with this. I won't let you....(lightning goes whush whush, hair starts to change color)
One of the best epic moments of DBZ hands down, seeing Goku's emotion finally deliver him to new heights as a Super Saiyan! Madison"s reaction is priceless and finally happened now let's see her react to Super Saiyan Goku in action, let's go!
18:56 you can see the smile of a true Dragon Ball Z fan right there! Such nostalgia, i will never forget this beautiful scene in my life. DBZ is goated, and it will always be. I will make sure my future child will carry over my legacy.
The moment when frieza said "pop goes the weezel"fcking line I just saw you and you saw the camera too I was dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣 also her reaction over super Saiyan was insane🔥🔥 hoping for more amazing reactions from you both love from India 🇮🇳
Stayed up all night watching your reactions and caught up just in time for this iconic episode. I'm having a great time re watching the series with you both!
What makes Goku's Super Saiyan transformation special is that not only did one of Goku's biggest enemies witness it for the first time but his own son as well. 🔥 moment in all of anime!!!
This episode has so much going on that I kind of forgot how wild it was that in Goku's greatest triumph Piccolo comes full circle and takes a hit for him after being his enemy
I remember when this first happened. I used to watch DBZ whilst being on the phone with a friend, we watched "together". We were so hyped when he turned SSJ. Now we're in our 30s and still watch DB content. We're such nerds 😅🤣
Greatest television moment of my childhood. I sat in front of the tv and refused to leave the room for hours before the episode even aired just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
I’m a huge fan of DB and I just love seeing peoples reactions to the series. Really nice and wholesome content for a spectacular moment in anime! Keep watching and supporting the goated franchise!
I remember this like it was yesterday. I was in the 7th grade, roughly 12-13 years of age. It was a Thursday afternoon, DBZ aired M-Th on Toonami, I forget what replaced it on Friday’s. He went SSJ, and we all had to wait till Monday to see what happened, as the episode ended when he transformed and looked at Frieza. DBZ has been apart of my life as much as Pokémon, and my damn family.
18:47 Welcome, Madison, to a moment in anime history. The birth of the legend. The mighty Goku has become… *A Super Saiyan.* We’re not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore. And everything in DBZ would change forever.
This moment is the best one for me in whole of DB . Its been 17-18 years when I first saw this idk why I'm tearning up dbz is something far greater for me than am anime
A few years back, did the same thing with my wife as well. Even though she knew a decent amount about Dragon Ball Z, she still got chills at this scene
Goku turning into Super Saiyan for the first time was insane, BUT do you remember when Goku drank Super God Water? i started to watch Dragon Ball again, and that scene, when Great Ape appear for a moment and Korin noticed power up of Goku, is one of the best i have seen!
I love this! I have no idea why, but I do…..I swear, it takes me back to being a kid again! An how Frieza was the absolute worst thing in life…..now, catching up on things, Frieza is hands down one my favorites. My dude was a bigger hype man for Goku in T.o.P than Vegeta has ever been! Hahahaha
You did the right thing letting her see Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time without commentary. She sees how pissed off Goku was,after seeing Krillen murdered. And the icing on the cake was seeing the fear on Friezas face.
I’m new to you guys and your channel. Glad you guys are enjoying DBZ! It’s refreshing to see newcomers watch and react for the first time. Love you guys and hope you enjoy your journey through DBZ! 👍👍
I feel like I'm 7 years old again watching this episode. I remember that fateful day when this episode aired on toonami, my brother and I were jumping out of our seats watching goku become a super sayian. Good times.
Thank you for this! Madison's reactions made me flash back to being 17 again. Also Cudos to you bro for keeping a straight face and not telling her right away. The look on your face also took me back too🤣 we just gotta work on getting ride of those black lines in the DBZ Episode. Other than that this was awesome! Definitely subbing
You do realize that if it weren’t for those lines, these videos would be struck down in an instant, right? The fact that he’s able to upload the full episode is already a miracle so if these lines are what it takes to keep these full episodes coming it’s a small price to pay. Hell, in all honesty, this format is way better than what many other reactors will have to prevent getting copyrighted, ie missing video, bits of the screen all over the place, etc
I remember ssj was the best transformation back in the day, it got me hyped when I first watched it. Just wait until you guys get to the android and buu saga those saga's is the only time when gohan is badass when he unlocks ssj, ssj2, and ultimate before the new movie came out
I couldn't help but laugh every time you looked at the camera, hahahaha you have incredible will power to say nothing and show no emotion so as to not spoil anything. Great video!
Dude, I remember seeing this for the first time in 3rd grade after school in my bedroom. I dropped my homework off the top bunk when my jaw hit the floor. My language arts book landed on my step brothers game of Crossfire and scattered the bbs all over the room.
Bruce falconer is always the greatest way to watch DBZ it's how most of us remember it as a kid anyway on toonami years ago kai came WAYY later and kinda watered down the epic theme songs to go with the epic scene like this and ssj3 theme
The hypest moment in DBZ history I'll never forget when I first saw this episode. Vegeta was right all the way. He called it once Goku took on the Ginyu force. I was super excited during this moment
This was really something. I remember in the 90's when this aired, I was still in middle school, so I was really young. I remember sneaking out of bed into my parent's bedroom across the hall to turn on the TV and watch Dragon Ball Z every night when my parents thought I was in bed. I got caught a few times because it aired at 10:00 PM, way passed my bedtime and they happened to walk in on me. For the most part though they were out in the living room and didn't go to bed until later, so I got away with it a lot. One such time was this episode. I'd seen Goku with yellow hair in a commercial but other than that I didn't know anything about Super Saiyan yet or that it was even real. When Goku transformed I started jumping on the bed, so my parents came running in and caught me. lmao Ultra Instinct managed to do the same thing to me when it happened. I have a tendency to try not to read the manga or spoil things for myself by looking at too much online about the anime I'm watching so I actually had no idea Ultra Instinct was coming aside from an interview with Toriyama a while back where he mentioned he had plans for a transformation with white hair. That alone didn't prepare me for the sheer epicness (not a real word), that a legend like Toriyama was about to leave in his wake.
Thanks for these epic reactions. Seeing someone experience and appreciate these defining moment makes it feel like getting to watch them for the first time ourselves again.
I loved watching this you guys. Probably the single greatest moment in dbz. And btw way to not react too much to give anything away for your lady. Yall got a new subscriber in me.
I remember seeing this as a kid when it first premiered on Toonami, and back when there was no youtube or ways to see it dub online like you we do now. So for many of us 90s kids Toonami was our first introduction to Dragon Ball Z and when this happened it was major goosebumps. I've said this many times but the English Dub with Bruce Faulconer music is way superior than the original Japanese Sub and Music, and it sucks cause in most streaming sites it's only dub in english but has the original Japanese music. Also we didn't watch original Dragon Ball until Dragon Ball Z was already in the Buu Saga. I remember how they would premier Dragon Ball for the first time in English Dub and it would aire side by side DBZ Buu Saga.
Poor Krillin. Interesting tidbit. In this version, Krillin says he's homesick. But in the Japanese version, he says he wants a shot at marriage. He said a similar thing after getting impaled by Frieza. Before fainting he said "I wanted to get married. Just once." Where as in the English version he says "Goku, where were you." And again, before Frieza transforms into his final form, in this version he says "I should have been a shoe salesman." But in the Japanese version, he says something like "I should've settled down and got married." Basically marriage is something Krillin really longs for.
This channel will grow big time. Genuine reactions.

Question: before this, did Madison ever ask you why the figurenes of Goku you have back there look the way they do? 😂
She didn’t know it was Goku! Towards episode 86, she started to realize that it may have been him as a super saiyan but it wasn’t confirmed until this episode! Goku had black hair for 95 episodes straight and the physical appearance of a super saiyan was never described in the show :)
I kept replaying every bit of her reaction over and over again. It was such a joy to see.
I’m just glad she stopped looking at the camera in time to see it.
This is the most hype I’ve been for this episode since I first saw it! It really feels like I’m watching this show for the first time. Love your reactions!
❤️😎👍
This will always be an iconic moment in DBZ
For someone that grew up watching most of this series alone, thank you for making this channel. It’s like being able to revisit my childhood, being being able to enjoy the rest of it with a friend.🙂
Also, may i share a fan-made animation that makes this episode look so much better. I know it’s really late, but… 🤷🏻♂️

Goku :Frieza! Stop this! Krillen : Goku!!! Help me! (Krillen goes boom) Frieza: Pop goes the weasel. Goku: I won't let you get away with this. I won't let you....(lightning goes whush whush, hair starts to change color)
One of the best epic moments of DBZ hands down, seeing Goku's emotion finally deliver him to new heights as a Super Saiyan! Madison"s reaction is priceless and finally happened now let's see her react to Super Saiyan Goku in action, let's go!
18:56 you can see the smile of a true Dragon Ball Z fan right there! Such nostalgia, i will never forget this beautiful scene in my life. DBZ is goated, and it will always be. I will make sure my future child will carry over my legacy.
The moment when frieza said "pop goes the weezel"fcking line I just saw you and you saw the camera too I was dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣 also her reaction over super Saiyan was insane🔥🔥 hoping for more amazing reactions from you both love from India 🇮🇳
🇮🇳❤️
The closest thing to re-experiencing legendary moments like this are watching others experience for the first time.
So glad to see she enjoyed it!
Stayed up all night watching your reactions and caught up just in time for this iconic episode. I'm having a great time re watching the series with you both!
Hell yeahhh!!!!
What makes Goku's Super Saiyan transformation special is that not only did one of Goku's biggest enemies witness it for the first time but his own son as well.
🔥 moment in all of anime!!!
This episode has so much going on that I kind of forgot how wild it was that in Goku's greatest triumph Piccolo comes full circle and takes a hit for him after being his enemy
I remember when this first happened. I used to watch DBZ whilst being on the phone with a friend, we watched "together". We were so hyped when he turned SSJ. Now we're in our 30s and still watch DB content. We're such nerds 😅🤣
Same!! 😂😂
Greatest television moment of my childhood. I sat in front of the tv and refused to leave the room for hours before the episode even aired just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Her reaction brings back memories of the first time I watched Goku turn into a Super Saiyan. I was having ALOT of the same reactions.
Couldn’t stop myself from crying. Literally one of the best pivotal moments as a DB fan. Loved her reactions definitely getting a sub off me
❤️❤️
I’m a huge fan of DB and I just love seeing peoples reactions to the series.
Really nice and wholesome content for a spectacular moment in anime! Keep watching and supporting the goated franchise!
Thank you for your support 😎👍
It's so fun seeing people react to this. I saw this probably 25 years ago and it still gives me goosebumps. One of the coolest moments in anime
I remember this like it was yesterday. I was in the 7th grade, roughly 12-13 years of age. It was a Thursday afternoon, DBZ aired M-Th on Toonami, I forget what replaced it on Friday’s. He went SSJ, and we all had to wait till Monday to see what happened, as the episode ended when he transformed and looked at Frieza. DBZ has been apart of my life as much as Pokémon, and my damn family.
After all these years, I still laugh at Frieza saying "Pop goes the weasel" after killing Krillin!
Bro i have NO idea how you can keep a straight face. I could hardly stop smiling and smirking
18:47 Welcome, Madison, to a moment in anime history.
The birth of the legend.
The mighty Goku has become…
*A Super Saiyan.*
We’re not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore.
And everything in DBZ would change forever.
This moment is the best one for me in whole of DB . Its been 17-18 years when I first saw this idk why I'm tearning up dbz is something far greater for me than am anime
The most iconic legendary moment in DBZ history 18:52 such a dope moment for everyone.
LMFAO! Homeboy is the embodiment of "WATCH AND SEE." He doesn't answer a single question and just lets her find out for herself. Perfect!
Continuing to ignore her questions lol
You getting excited remembering your childhood period when watching the transformation and seeing HER excited was icing on the cake.
The best way to describe it!!!
I'm more emotional rewatching this with Madison than I was rewatching it myself.
i love seeing new reactions to Goku's transformation. it still sends chills down my spine. definitely one of the greatest moments in anime history
I totally agree
A few years back, did the same thing with my wife as well. Even though she knew a decent amount about Dragon Ball Z, she still got chills at this scene
Bro, your girlfriend's reaction here reminded me of the first time I saw this same episode on tv for the first time. EPIC!!!
😎👍❤️
Goku turning into Super Saiyan for the first time was insane, BUT do you remember when Goku drank Super God Water? i started to watch Dragon Ball again, and that scene, when Great Ape appear for a moment and Korin noticed power up of Goku, is one of the best i have seen!
I love this! I have no idea why, but I do…..I swear, it takes me back to being a kid again! An how Frieza was the absolute worst thing in life…..now, catching up on things, Frieza is hands down one my favorites. My dude was a bigger hype man for Goku in T.o.P than Vegeta has ever been! Hahahaha
You did the right thing letting her see Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time without commentary.
She sees how pissed off Goku was,after seeing Krillen murdered. And the icing on the cake was seeing the fear on Friezas face.
This took me back. Watching her reaction made me feel like I was watching it for the first time all over again. Thanks for that 😁
Its incredible to see it through her eyes even for me!! :)
I’m new to you guys and your channel. Glad you guys are enjoying DBZ! It’s refreshing to see newcomers watch and react for the first time. Love you guys and hope you enjoy your journey through DBZ! 👍👍
Thank you for being a part of the journey with us 😎👍
The only precious thing here is you guys
Thank you for your support 😎👍❤️
I feel like I'm 7 years old again watching this episode. I remember that fateful day when this episode aired on toonami, my brother and I were jumping out of our seats watching goku become a super sayian. Good times.
Finally the moment we’ve all been waiting for !! Such an epic moment in all of anime it still gives me chills ! 🔥🙌🏾
Thank you for this! Madison's reactions made me flash back to being 17 again. Also Cudos to you bro for keeping a straight face and not telling her right away. The look on your face also took me back too🤣 we just gotta work on getting ride of those black lines in the DBZ Episode. Other than that this was awesome! Definitely subbing
You do realize that if it weren’t for those lines, these videos would be struck down in an instant, right? The fact that he’s able to upload the full episode is already a miracle so if these lines are what it takes to keep these full episodes coming it’s a small price to pay.
Hell, in all honesty, this format is way better than what many other reactors will have to prevent getting copyrighted, ie missing video, bits of the screen all over the place, etc
@@locomojoboy2 yeah like being reversed.
I remember ssj was the best transformation back in the day, it got me hyped when I first watched it. Just wait until you guys get to the android and buu saga those saga's is the only time when gohan is badass when he unlocks ssj, ssj2, and ultimate before the new movie came out
I couldn't help but laugh every time you looked at the camera, hahahaha you have incredible will power to say nothing and show no emotion so as to not spoil anything. Great video!
This is amazing! Still get chills when I watch this scene! Also love the look into the camera right before he transforms
😎👍👍👍
Glad she stopped looking or else she would have missed it
Dude, I remember seeing this for the first time in 3rd grade after school in my bedroom. I dropped my homework off the top bunk when my jaw hit the floor. My language arts book landed on my step brothers game of Crossfire and scattered the bbs all over the room.
The guy is just 🗿
He probably already watched so he’s just fine
I love how when she sees his hair flash yellow she looks directly at the numerous super saiyan figurines on the shelf on the right.
Forgot how much of a gut punch Frieza surviving the Spirit Bomb was.
They toy with you saying he's gone only to go Nope lol
Yep, although it did knock the breath out of him .....
This episode was aired in July 2002 in my country. I have seen many reactions to it and I must say, Madisons reaction is the purest I have ever seen.
0:38 when it starts
Bruce falconer is always the greatest way to watch DBZ it's how most of us remember it as a kid anyway on toonami years ago kai came WAYY later and kinda watered down the epic theme songs to go with the epic scene like this and ssj3 theme
this was such a powerful moment in the series for me first time was amazing and still is
The hypest moment in DBZ history I'll never forget when I first saw this episode. Vegeta was right all the way. He called it once Goku took on the Ginyu force. I was super excited during this moment
I'm glad she finally witnessed the greatest transformation in anime history even to this day.
Goosebumps all over my arms and hair on the back of my neck are standing up from the transformation
been waiting for the reaction to seeing Goku's first time going super saiyan, I also recommend the DBZ Kai version.
This one trumps kai!
This was really something. I remember in the 90's when this aired, I was still in middle school, so I was really young. I remember sneaking out of bed into my parent's bedroom across the hall to turn on the TV and watch Dragon Ball Z every night when my parents thought I was in bed. I got caught a few times because it aired at 10:00 PM, way passed my bedtime and they happened to walk in on me. For the most part though they were out in the living room and didn't go to bed until later, so I got away with it a lot. One such time was this episode. I'd seen Goku with yellow hair in a commercial but other than that I didn't know anything about Super Saiyan yet or that it was even real. When Goku transformed I started jumping on the bed, so my parents came running in and caught me. lmao
Ultra Instinct managed to do the same thing to me when it happened. I have a tendency to try not to read the manga or spoil things for myself by looking at too much online about the anime I'm watching so I actually had no idea Ultra Instinct was coming aside from an interview with Toriyama a while back where he mentioned he had plans for a transformation with white hair. That alone didn't prepare me for the sheer epicness (not a real word), that a legend like Toriyama was about to leave in his wake.
Thanks for these epic reactions.
Seeing someone experience and appreciate these defining moment makes it feel like getting to watch them for the first time ourselves again.
Thank you for joining us 😎👍
17:41
Her: "Come on, Goku..."
Him: [smiles at the camera]
Subscribed to the channel with that one moment.
😎👍
looking forward to seeing your reactions when you see more Super Saiyan transformations(Trunks and Gohan especially)!
It’s going to be EPIC!
Ive rewatched this reaction a few times an I gotta say, thank you for usin the Bruce Falconer version, the best version.
I loved watching this you guys. Probably the single greatest moment in dbz. And btw way to not react too much to give anything away for your lady. Yall got a new subscriber in me.
I had so much trouble controlling myself during the episode!!! The best was to describe my emotions Internally is like Namek exploding! Lol
Watching this back since the VHS days was one of the hype moments I’ve seen as a kid
VHS!! Yes!! I used to record them straight from toonami
@@BarisTeeAnimeReactions we actually got the tapes before it ever aired on TV. The Frieza saga at least
I swear to god I got chills from the tip of my skull to like my chest. That transformation is LEGENDARY, that music was straight fire.
I remember seeing this as a kid when it first premiered on Toonami, and back when there was no youtube or ways to see it dub online like you we do now. So for many of us 90s kids Toonami was our first introduction to Dragon Ball Z and when this happened it was major goosebumps. I've said this many times but the English Dub with Bruce Faulconer music is way superior than the original Japanese Sub and Music, and it sucks cause in most streaming sites it's only dub in english but has the original Japanese music. Also we didn't watch original Dragon Ball until Dragon Ball Z was already in the Buu Saga. I remember how they would premier Dragon Ball for the first time in English Dub and it would aire side by side DBZ Buu Saga.
Dont you ever stop
keep these reactions coming ❤️
😎👍❤️
Nothing in anime will ever best the scene where goku goes super saiyan. Also, the Bruce Falconer soundtrack on it just brings it together beautifully
love yalls reactions had tears in my eyes the whole time love this episode
😂😎👍
Poor Krillin. Interesting tidbit. In this version, Krillin says he's homesick. But in the Japanese version, he says he wants a shot at marriage. He said a similar thing after getting impaled by Frieza. Before fainting he said "I wanted to get married. Just once." Where as in the English version he says "Goku, where were you."
And again, before Frieza transforms into his final form, in this version he says "I should have been a shoe salesman." But in the Japanese version, he says something like "I should've settled down and got married."
Basically marriage is something Krillin really longs for.
Can’t wait 😳
This broke history, who would've thought he'd turned super saiyan! Omg I remember this in elementary...I was soooooooo excited!
Waiing a week for this gonna be a pain LOL
WATCH THE TEASER TRAILER OUT ON YT!!!
Man I don't know how you stayed so stone faced! Loved seeing Madison get so into it, and I saw that look into the camera when the music started. XD
