vegeta really is a menace for laughing while his rival just blew up and then he goes and beats up a kid just to prove a point and it makes you hate him all over again
arsyur
i was so stressed seeing goku scream for that ship to start and then seeing the whole planet just turn into a flash of white light while he was still there
ein
the way the episode title just tells you goku might be dead and then the next one spoils the whole thing is actually hilarious and it totally ruins any sense of mystery for the ending
jiro_jolt_127
I can not believe Goku actually died and the whole planet just blew up while he was still there screaming for the ship to start
fish_eye
goku screaming for the spaceship to work while the ground was falling apart around him was absolutely brutal to watch
judeau_the_knife_191
there is no way frieza could survive that explosion after getting beat up that badly and goku better still be alive somewhere
ungaikyo_usurper_57
bulma going from crying about goku to flirting with vegeta was so weird and ghoulish considering they just lost their best friend
nezuko_nuzzle_128
watching the entire planet just blow up while goku was still trapped down there felt like such a gut punch and now everything is just empty space

Gohan actually throwing hands with Vegeta for being a jerk about his dad made me so happy even if it was just for a second
lauriam_453
the look on king kais face when he told everyone he could not sense gokus energy was terrifying and namek literally turned into dust
franky_fiesta_65
Bulma being so cheerful while everyone else was crying over Goku really bothered me, but then King Kai dropped that bomb about the Dragon Ball rules. If they wish him back he just ends up in space where Namek used to be and dies again. That is such a terrifying thought and I really hope they find another way to save him.

Vegeta really chose the worst time to start bragging about being the strongest, especially since Gohan was right there mourning his dad.

frieza saying five minutes was the biggest lie ever because that took forever and it still ended on a massive cliffhanger
enenra_enigma_53
I felt so sick when the ship wouldn't start and Goku just had to watch the lava coming for him and now Namek is actually gone

Gohan standing up to Vegeta after losing his father showed so much heart and that punch felt like it was for all of us
microwaved_dave
That five minute timer has to be the longest clock in history but Namek finally turning into a supernova was a heavy sight
hyoga_256
My heart sank when the screen went white because Goku was frantically trying to start that ship, and seeing it fall into the lava was a nightmare
jotaro_kujo_195
You can see how much of a jerk Vegeta still is when he starts bragging about being the strongest while his own home planet's savior is literally stardust
kaworu_nagisa
Watching Frieza try to blast Goku from behind even after getting energy to escape proved he was a monster and his death on that dying rock was the only right ending
kami_kaze_80
Knowing Goku cannot be wished back if he died in the vacuum of space makes this cliffhanger feel way more permanent than usual, especially with the dragon balls being so limited
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 106 lands in the immediate aftermath of Goku's legendary victory over Frieza, transitioning the Frieza Saga from its climactic battle into its emotional resolution phase. Everything that preceded this — the Spirit Bomb, the Super Saiyan transformation, the extended fight — funnels into this desperate escape scenario. The episode directly sets up 'Goku's Alive!!' (Episode 107), which deals with the fallout of Namek's destruction and the fate of the surviving characters.
