Krillin really had guts for jumping in and saving Dende and most people would have just stayed hidden but he risked everything to get that kid away from Dodoria
ulquiorra_uber
Dodoria is such a monster for what he did to those villagers and it makes it even better knowing Vegeta is probably going to track him down and handle things soon
venusaur
You really feel the tension when Dodoria is chasing them through the sky and one wrong move and Krillin or Gohan would have been dead just like the rest of the village
karakasa_kozo
I liked seeing Gohan stop being a scared kid for a second to help Dende and that kick he landed on Dodoria was huge even if it just made the big guy even angrier
jessie
I was honestly getting so stressed watching Krillin and Gohan try to stay hidden while Dodoria was hunting them down. When Gohan finally lost his temper and blasted him into that house it was awesome, because those Namekian elders didn't deserve any of that. Krillin stepping up with the Solar Flare really saved their lives too
poppy_365
Gohan dropping the timid act to save Dende was great, especially with that massive kick to Dodoria. It shows how much he hates seeing people get bullied by Frieza's men
cwunched
Watching Frieza and his guys just stand there while the village got destroyed was disgusting and they have no respect for life and it makes you want to see Gohan crush them
hange_hero
You can really see how smart Krillin is when he pulls out that Solar Flare to blind Dodoria and he knew they couldn't win a straight fight so he just grabbed Dende and ran
atticus_358
My heart was sinking when Dodoria killed those Namekian elders so coldly and seeing the Frieza force just slaughter a whole village was really dark
raiju_rider
That kick Gohan landed on Dodoria was huge since he finally snapped and tried to save the kid and it was about time he did something with all that power
monk_kass
You really feel the panic when Krillin realizes they can't actually fight Dodoria and have to just run for their lives through the clouds
mary_hunt
The way Gohan stood up for Dende was great, even if it put them both in huge trouble.
nameless_neet
Frieza just sitting there and watching his guys murder everyone is so creepy and it makes the whole atmosphere on Namek feel like a nightmare
alain_351
I am still processing how dark things got with Dodoria just wiping out that whole village without a second thought. It makes the chase feel so much more dangerous because I know what he will do if he catches them. Krillin was definitely the MVP for thinking of the Solar Flare on the fly so they could hide in those rocks.

You can really see Gohan's power starting to bubble up when he gets angry and it is scary to think what happens if he actually loses it
sakurafan
That chase through the canyons had so much tension and you really feel how desperate Gohan and Krillin are to save that little Namekian
tanuki_trickster_41
My heart stopped when Dende almost got killed and seeing Gohan snap and jump in like that made me so happy for the kid
talon_266
Krillin using the Solar Flare to get away was such a smart move and it is cool seeing him use his brain when they are totally outclassed
espadada_grimmjow_460
You really see how evil Frieza is when Dodoria headbutts that old Namekian to death and it makes the whole situation on this planet feel totally hopeless
sanemi_storm_133
I actually shouted when Gohan kicked Dodoria in the face because that fat pink monster was being way too cruel to those Namekian kids
