QUICK TAKES

Vegeta stopping the fight just because he is curious about Goku is such a massive insult and it shows how little he actually respects any of the fighters on Earth
megurine_marvel_496
Piccolo is being so mean to Gohan right now but he is right that they are all going to die if the kid doesn't start fighting back
midnightweeb
That flashback of Tien and Chiaotzu training together made the ending of this fight hit way harder and it sucks that their deaths were basically for nothing
ash_ketchum
It is wild how Vegeta just sits there and controls everything with a single word, while Nappa is literally tearing people apart. You can tell Vegeta is the real threat because he doesn't even need to move to be scary, and now we have to wait three hours for Goku to save what is left of the team while they all just sit on some rocks.

Watching Gohan freeze up while Piccolo and Krillin were risking everything was so frustrating and you can't really blame a literal child for being scared of a monster like Nappa
gumi_galaxy
I really thought Tien was going to do something when he stood up like that but Nappa didn't even care and now my heart is just broken for him and Chiaotzu
rubeus
Seeing Nappa just brush off a life-depleting Tri-Beam was terrifying and it makes you wonder how anyone is going to stop this guy before Goku shows up
sukuna_sovereign_136
I can't believe another hero is gone, and seeing Tien's body just lying there in the dirt after that massive blast was almost too much to watch.
sanji_savant
The way Krillin screamed for Goku at the end was so desperate and you can feel how hopeless they are against those two Saiyans
illnes
My stomach dropped when Nappa cut Tien's arm off and this show is getting way darker than I ever expected it to be
zangetsu_zen
Tien losing his arm was brutal and then he used the last of his life for that Tri-Beam only for Nappa to walk away without a scratch this show is actually depressing right now
giratina
Seeing the flashbacks of Tien and Chiaotzu made the ending so much sadder, especially when you realize they have been together since they were kids training under that crazy master
elrena
The way the dragon balls will turn to stone if Piccolo dies adds so much pressure to this fight and Kami looks so defeated on the lookout
grey_ghost_143
Piccolo telling Gohan to just go home if he can't fight was harsh but you can tell he is just desperate since they are all about to die
zora_284
I can't believe Tien really used up every last bit of his life just to try and avenge Chiaotzu, and it honestly hurt to see him fall over dead like that. Seeing the look on Nappa's face when he just walked out of that crater completely fine was a total gut punch because it makes all their sacrifices feel pointless right now. I just need Goku to get there
melty_monarch
It was so hard to watch Krillin screaming for Goku at the end while everyone else is lying in the dirt and Tien is gone
cremia
Vegeta sitting there and giving everyone three hours to wait for Goku is such a power move and he clearly has no respect for anyone on earth
great_fairy
My stomach turned when Nappa chopped off Tiens arm and then just laughed about it because it showed how brutal these saiyans really are
shinobu_sting_130
Watching Nappa just brush off that massive golden blast from Tien was the most hopeless thing ever and it makes you wonder how anyone is going to survive this
inu_no_taisho
You really feel for Gohan when he freezes up because Nappa looks like a literal demon and it makes sense that a little kid would be too scared to move
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting deep in the Saiyan Saga, episode 25 continues the brutal confrontation with Nappa that has been decimating Earth's defenders since his rampage began. The Z Fighters are buying time for Goku's arrival, and this episode escalates the cost of that delay to devastating effect. It directly sets the stage for Goku's long-anticipated return to the battlefield and the climactic showdown that will define the saga's outcome.
