Vegeta looking down from that high cliff while talking about being an elite really set the tone and Goku just standing his ground on the lower rock was such a cool way to start the fight

Goku, pushing his body to the absolute brink with x4 Kaio-ken just to deflect that Galick Gun, had me holding my breath – I mean, the strain on his face and the raw power clashing felt like the whole planet was going to crack in half, cementing for me just how critical this fight truly was.

Vegeta is way scarier than Nappa because he is so calm and calculated while he beats the trash out of Goku
tyme_366
Earth was literally shaking just from Vegeta powering up and it makes you realize how much stronger he is than anyone else they ever fought
alma_theus
The way Goku and Vegeta clash after all that build up was so satisfying, especially since Vegeta is such an arrogant jerk about his royal bloodline. Watching that elite attitude get tested made me so happy.

I was stressing when Goku went Kaioken x3 and his body started falling apart because he was pushing way too hard to keep up with Vegeta
darmani
You can really feel the difference in their power when they are just standing there on those rocks and the atmosphere gets all heavy before the first punch even lands
saix
Vegeta is so overconfident and it makes every hit he takes feel earned. You can really feel the weight of every punch when the atmosphere starts vibrating around them
dendra
Everything about this fight is on a different level than what we saw with Raditz. You can see the pure desperation on Goku's face when he realizes Vegeta is still standing

King Kai said do not go over x2 but Goku just went for x3 anyway and the visual was absolute madness. You could see the red energy just leaking out of his skin
senkaimon_sentry
That gold and red flash during the power up looked so cool to me and it almost felt like a hint at something bigger. I hope Goku survived that massive energy output because he looks rough
aqua_archpriest
It is pretty wild seeing Vegeta offer a partnership to Goku after trying to murder all his friends and family just a few minutes ago, and you can tell he really respects strength above anything else but there is no way Goku would ever go for that. That x3 Kaioken push looked like it was going to tear Goku apart, and it was brutal
lille_xrays
Vegeta calling him a low-class warrior while getting his face kicked in is so satisfying. You can tell his pride is taking more damage than his body right now
michiru_kaioh_370
Watching the earth literally shake while Vegeta powers up is something else, but Goku matching him with that x3 boost is what really sets the tone for these two
professor_juniper
The way Goku is screaming and his body is just breaking under the pressure of the Kaioken makes me so nervous. My man really is risking it all to stop this prince
spike_spiegel
You see that scouter explode and you just know things are different now. Vegeta acting like a royal jerk makes him such a great villain for Goku to humble
jet_black_177
I cannot believe he went Kaioken x3 and his muscles just doubled in size. That red aura is terrifying because King Kai warned him he might die but he did it anyway
amikiri_amigo
You really feel the weight of every punch when Vegeta slams Goku into those rock pillars and it is scary how much more dangerous he feels than Raditz or Nappa ever did
kami_kaze_80
Goku pushing himself to x3 Kaioken even though it might kill him is the most desperate thing he has ever done and it really puts into perspective how terrifying Vegeta actually is
monk_mijah_301
It is wild how the animation changes when Goku goes Kaioken x3, and seeing his hair stand up like that makes it feel like he is reaching a whole new level of power
