Vegeta just crushed Goku legs like they were twigs and it is terrifying because there is no way for him to fight back now

I felt sick when the realization hit Goku that he was the one who killed Grandpa Gohan while he watched Vegeta wreck everything

I actually feel so bad for Goku finding out about his grandpa like that and he really had to process that while Vegeta was literally turning into a giant monkey and trying to kill him

The teamwork between Krillin and Gohan and Goku to get that final attack off was so cool to see since Goku is usually the one doing everything solo

Those tiny flashbacks of Grandpa Gohan while Vegeta was crushing Goku really made that realization hurt way more than the physical injuries

I can't believe Vegeta survived the Spirit Bomb and then still had the energy to keep fighting after taking a hit that big from the whole planet

The amount of damage Goku took this episode is insane and he still tried to pass the energy to Krillin while his body was basically broken

It is wild how Vegeta refuses to stay down even after getting hit with a Spirit Bomb because he is such a different kind of villain. It felt like the heroes were finally going to win when Krillin threw it, but then that guy just kept coming back for more and nobody knew how he could be stopped. Watching the desperation on everyone's faces really made the danger from Vegeta feel real.

Vegeta is actually terrifying as a Great Ape, and seeing Goku get crushed like a toy is hard to watch after everything he went through with the Kaioken.

I was holding my breath when Krillin was aiming that Spirit Bomb because the thought of him missing and wasting all that energy was stressing me out

Gohan falling on Vegeta as a giant ape is such a weird way to end a fight but it works so well since Vegeta was being such a jerk the whole time

Yajirobe actually doing something useful and cutting off that tail was the last thing anyone expected but it really saved the day against that monster

I was genuinely sad when Goku realized he killed his own grandpa because it happened right while he was being crushed by a giant ape

Even after the Spirit Bomb hit him Vegeta just keeps coming back and it makes you wonder if they can actually stop this guy at all

It is crazy how long it takes to charge the Spirit Bomb and the way the animation shows the energy gathering from the entire planet is so cool

That scene where Yajirobe comes out of nowhere to slice the tail was amazing, although it is terrifying that Vegeta is still standing after all that damage.

Vegeta crushing Goku in his hands like that was so hard to watch and it really shows how much of a threat the Saiyans actually are

The way Gohan didn't stay away and actually came back to help his dad even though he was terrified of that giant ape made me feel so proud of him

Krillin taking the Spirit Bomb from Goku is such a huge moment for him and it shows how much trust there is between them even when things look impossible

I felt so much stress when Krillin was holding that ball of energy, because if he missed, it was game over for everyone. It is wild seeing Vegeta survive everything they throw at him, and even after the tail cut, he still feels like a total monster. I never thought I would see Goku look this completely broken and helpless.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 32 of 291, this falls deep into the Saiyan Saga's climactic battle, following a dramatic power-up that shifted the fight's dynamics in the previous episode.
