Top 20 Greatest Dragon Ball Fights of All Time

[Music] i hope you're not letting that power-up go to your head [Music] this is ashley with watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 dragon ball fights cheers [Music] [Music] for this list we'll be looking at the greatest battles from across the dragon ball franchise as you can imagine there's plenty to pick from which dragon ball fight do you think is underrated let us know in the comments and as always you can catch me on twitter ashjaebow so head over there give me a follow and let me know which dragon ball list you want to see next number 20 future trunks this is king cold and mecca freezer dragon ball z while some draggable fights last a dozen episodes others are done and dusted in 10 minutes or so in one of the best debuts to date time traveler trunks shows up to welcome frieza and his father king cold to earth after a bit of posturing and a quick warm-up trunk swiftly gets down to business where he proceeds to defeat goku's greatest enemy like it was nothing a one-sided squash trunks brushes off any offense delivered by freezer and king cold without breaking a sweat [Music] this fight is certainly satisfying and instantly establishes trunks as a big deal remember these were the days before everyone was a super saiyan i wanted nothing but peace i meant you know i swear it number 19 goku versus king piccolo dragon ball the first half of the original dragon ball series focused more on adventure and humor rather than full blown action this slowly starts to shift with the king piccolo saga an arc that greatly raises the stakes and pushes goku beyond his limits following a devastating loss goku returns stronger and more determined than ever leading to a brutal fight with the demon king in many ways this fight serves as the blueprints for the types of battles that would come to define dragon ball and the whole saga holds up quite well we also get to see what happens when goku actually uses his head in a more well literal sense [Music] number 18 vegito versus super boo dragon ball z unapologetically ludicrous this fight is like a microcosm of the entire buu saga when dragon ball z pushed fusion to the forefront everyone wanted to see a goku and vegeta combo and vegito lived up to expectations easily overpowering super boo vegito toys around with the ancient evil for a couple of episodes and it's glorious to behold a mostly lopsided encounter vegito's charming arrogance and super boo's devolution into a panicked mess give this fight a comedic tone particularly when candy becomes involved although the ending is anti-climactic vegetables super boo is a blast while it [Music] [Applause] lasts number 17 goku vs golden freezer dragon ball z resurrection f resurrection f brought back dragon balls most iconic villain which naturally meant a rematch against goku had to happen unlike their legendary battle from before goku's fight against frieza's ascended form is a short but sweet affair one boasting great animation [Music] while the two initially seem to be evenly matched frieza quickly learns that he is still a ways off from challenging goku weakening aside this sequence is a fun throwback to one of anime's greatest ever battles plus we did get our first look at super saiyan blue [Music] number 16 goku vs beerus dragon ball z battle of gods after an extended absence dragon ball made its highly anticipated return in cinematic form and it did not disappoint beerus the god of destruction seeks out the mythical super saiyan god a search that ultimately leads him to goku with the earth's bait soon thrown into the equation [Applause] while battle of gods foreshadows beerus and goku's eventual mental and student dynamic it certainly doesn't skip out on the final bounce i will not let you destroy my world transformations planet-sized balls of fire and lots of screaming goku vs beerus offers a healthy helping of classic dragon ball z action [Applause] number 15 goku vs piccolo jr dragon ball the original dragon ball series went out with one hell of a bang while also introducing a fan favorite character as the son of the demon king piccolo jr retains his father's viciousness techniques and raw power all things displayed throughout this fight you're right junior but the dragon was resurrected lasting six episodes this battle goes through multiple twists and phases as it steadily builds steam towards a great head-butting climax [Applause] [Music] piccolo growing into a giant the tournament arena's destruction and goku going limp every moment is not only thrilling but expands on the personalities of both characters it's by far one of the young saiyans most hard-fought victories i told you i'd win [Music] number 14 vegito this is fused zamasu dragon ball super vegito might rarely get the job done but any fusion improves any arc vegito as the future trunks saga reaches its crescendo goku and vegeta once again combine forces and bodies to take on fused zamasu compared to the super boom battle vegito takes this fight more seriously and fused zamasu is by no means completely outmatched mostly boiling down to a few memorable attacks and vegito punching the god out of fuse zamasu this battle feels huge the fight may last less than a single episode but it makes full use of every second [Applause] [Applause] number 13 go tanks versus super boo dragon ball z the buu saga is considerably more comedic than the rest of dragon ball z and this fight is its hilarious masterpiece after a lengthy build-up that includes chi-chi becoming an egg go tanks and super boo finally face off in a clash packed with weird special moves and psych gags underestimated by super boo gotenks's cocky and playful personality leads to some rather unique strategies in the meantime piccolo plays the straight man role flawlessly [Music] [Applause] [Music] even though humor dominates most of this fight the action is still strong particularly once gotenks goes super saiyan 3. [Music] number 12 goku and trunks this is black goku and zamasu dragon ball super long gruelling fights are obviously wonderful but sometimes nothing is more effective than a swift beating one of dragon ball's best annihilations happens during goku and company's trip to the dismal future ruled by an insidious version of himself the saiyans spend most of the arc on the back foot with both versions of the traitor god zamasu getting the best of them you're really gonna sacrifice yourself to stop us at least until they make the unwise decision to inform goku how they wiped out his wife and child then the gloves come off goku's anger here is haunting i'm really really mad and now it's time to pass [Applause] number 11 piccolo versus android 17 dragon ball z a somewhat forgotten fight due to its placement in the saga piccolo's exhausting battle with the murderous android is a highlight of the entire arc [Music] wearing themselves ragged the namekian and android trade blows and energy attacks in an even contest with no clear winner blasting through their island battlegrounds and heightened by the impending arrival of imperfect cell this battle blossoms into an absolutely fierce encounter as dragon ball continued piccolo became increasingly more marginalized and this fight with android 17 is one of the namekians final truly great moments [Music] number 10 vegeta versus toppo dragon ball super vegeta goes through plenty of growth throughout dragon ball and this fight illustrates how far the saiyan prince has come since the start of the series after becoming a god of destruction toppo begins to wreck everything in sight but the universe 11 fighter finds his match in vegeta while the actual encounter between toppo and vegeta is pretty short the fight delivers intensity great animation and narrative resonance besides fists this is also a battle of ideologies all else and dare to call my cause trivial i fight for bulma for trunks and bull i fight for the oath i made to a fellow warrior for my saiyan pride i fight for all i've built and all i am unlike you i won't abandon all that to play god unlike zappo this vision of vegeta refuses to abandon everything simply to gain more power a resolve the prince demonstrates by using an improved version of the final explosion [Music] number nine goku vs perfect cell dragon ball z after cell scores a lucky win against mr satan goku steps up to the plate to put the ultimate creation through his paces perfect zell might have been able to defeat vegeta without really trying but the villain finds goku to be a stiffer challenge while the super saiyan is on the defensive for the long stretch of the fight he not only manages to keep up with cell but also seems to have a counter for most of his stolen moves if anything it's with repeated viewing for that instant kamehameha [Music] [Music] alone number eight goku and vegeta versus kid buu dragon ball z dragon ball has always been about the characters surpassing their limits to take down constantly evolving threats but the final fight of zee opts for a different approach rather than individual might goku and vegeta must work together to stand a chance against kid buu goku and original buu's fight is chaotic and engrossing a battle between near unstoppable forces who could easily detonate planets [Applause] [Applause] vegeta's minute of desperation is something else entirely as the same prince puts aside his pride and withstands a barrage from kid buu to buy time so that goku can execute the spirit bomb number seven goku vs kepler dragon ball super for this fight super went all in there's fusion multiple transformations a slew of unique and awesome moves all the screaming in the world and a conclusion that is spine tinglingly epic then i guess [Music] with their backs against the wall kale and cauliflower fused to create kefla a saiyan hybrid who manages to push goku to his absolute limit through a flurry of attacks that hit quick and hard [Music] carefully defeating super saiyan blue is a great watch but things really get going when ultra instinct comes into play featuring some of the best animation in super goku vs kefla is the tournament of power nearly at its best number six goku vs majin vegeta dragon ball z no other rivalry defines dragon ball quite like goku against vegeta since the early days of zee a rematch had been brewing between these two saiyans as vegeta grew progressively more envious of goku's power driven by anger shame and pride vegeta accepts babadi's influence just so he has a chance of wiping out goku once again taking a dip to the dark side this fight is vegeta at his most relentless leading to an explosive duel featuring goku as largely a reluctant participant [Music] emotion radiates out of each blow blast and monologue would you believe i almost started to think the earth was a nice place to live do you understand now kakarot that's why i needed bobady to set me free by releasing the evil in my heart he has freed me of these petty attachments number five go gocheeta versus broly dragon ball super broly sin fights are so incredible not even space and time can handle them super cinematic swan song has multiple top tier bouts but the finale is just fire broly is such a powerhouse goku and vegeta must once again fuse to stand a chance and this time it falls to gojita to get the job done boasting breathtaking animation heart-pounding music and minutes of non-stop mayhem this fight weaves a glorious symphony of energy blasts and bone-crushing body blows dragon ball super broly is a huge spectacle of a movie and this fight is the ultimate crowd pleaser [Music] [Music] um number four goku vs vegeta dragon ball z who knew this would be the start of a beautiful friendship the saiyan saga reached its apex when goku squared off against vegeta and this battle pretty much set the standard for the rest of zee you had your chance nearly every moment of this fight is iconic be it the pre-battle standoff goku's kaoken power-ups or the gallic gun vs kami hamihar beam struggle arrogant deadly and fond of a good insult vegeta brings out the very best in goku both in combat prowess and personality vegeta transforming into a great ape and mauling goku is also savage in the greatest possible way [Music] number three gohan this is perfect cell draggable z this fight provides more than 10 episodes of pure magic once goku nominates his son for the cell games gohan enters the ring with the perfect creation creating a legend in the process [Music] i can never forgive you for what you've done this event goes through multiple incredible phases starting with cells torturous attacks on gohan and the rest of the z fighters leading into the glorious transformation into super saiyan 2. oh and throw in the beam struggle to end all beam struggles littered with timeless moments like android 16's death and goku's sacrifice gohan and perfect cell engage in a perfectly paced fight that doesn't get a beat [Music] wrong number two goku vs jiren dragon ball super as the tournament of power came to a close goku and jiren took center stage for their ultimate confrontation [Music] dragon ball super had already teased this battle earlier on in the arc but the final fight lets both ultra instant goku and jiren unleash everything they've got the animation is fantastic arguably the best in all of super as each attack can be felt throughout the multiverse the scintillating action is enhanced by goku and jiren's conflicting ideologies while the fact all universes are on the line certainly adds to the drama before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to

vegeta wrote the formula for epic dragon ball fights then his battle with frieza perfected it the space tyrant is the ideal villainous counterpart to goku so much so that in all his genocidal glory he ended up triggering the events that was goku's switch to super saiyan even before that unforgettable transformation this fight is already excellent as goku strategically tries to defeat a sadistic enemy who is far more powerful than him once goku goes blonde and inspires frieza to discard any semblance of self-control or cool this battle ascends to super stardom while namek disintegrates into dust [Music] do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from watch mojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest [Music] [Music] videos
