I never thought the prince of all saiyans would go out like that and hearing about how Frieza treated him since he was a kid really hurts me
lance_328
Vegeta actually crying and begging Goku to beat Frieza is so heavy and it makes me look at him completely differently now
alder_326
Frieza is pure evil for shooting him in the chest mid speech and he did not even care about all that pain Vegeta went through
isane_ice_queen
That look on Goku face when he saw what happened to Vegeta says it all and he looks ready to kill Frieza where he stands
gumi_galaxy
Goku took forever to get out of that tank and arrive but the way he buried Vegeta was a nice touch for a former enemy
jushiro_jubei
Even if they just wish everyone back with the dragon balls seeing Vegeta die like that still felt heavy because he finally opened up
nekomata_ninja
Frieza shooting Vegeta through the chest was brutal, but it made that final speech to Goku even more desperate and sad to watch
japas_282
Frieza laughing while he finished off a defenseless opponent shows why he is the most hated villain and it makes the upcoming fight feel like it actually matters for the universe
ichigo_inoue_67
I used to think the sacrifice against Majin Buu was his best moment, but seeing Vegeta die here on Namek makes it feel much more painful because he has absolutely nothing left. He is just a broken man crying in the dirt while begging his rival to do what he couldn't and that level of honesty from him was something I never expected
iono_363
Goku finally showing up right at the end to hear those last words was timed perfectly and it felt like the weight of the whole Saiyan race shifted onto his shoulders
itachi_illusion
It was actually hard to watch Frieza just kick Vegeta around like a toy while he was crying for his lost planet and his dead father
yveltal
That part where Vegeta says Goku is the only one who can become a Super Saiyan and stop the tyrant is such a massive way to set up the next fight
sheikah
I honestly didn't think I would ever see Vegeta beg for anything, but his speech about being used by Frieza since he was a kid really changed how I see him
zangetsu_zen
Watching Goku take the time to bury Vegeta in the dirt of Namek was a heavy moment and it shows how much respect he had for their shared heritage even after everything
ashiaraiyashiki
Frieza shooting Vegeta through the chest while he was already down was so cold and it really makes you want to see Goku finally knock that smug look off his face
luck_lightning
I really felt for Vegeta when he started crying and telling Goku about how Frieza killed all the Saiyans because it showed how much he was actually hurting inside
toga_260
Frieza killing Vegeta right in the middle of his speech was so cold and it makes you want Goku to just destroy him already
hollow_ichigo
The original dialogue in this scene is so much more emotional than the newer versions and the voice acting really captures how desperate Vegeta was at the end
tyson_350
Even though we know the dragon balls exist, seeing the prince of all saiyans die in the dirt like that still feels heavy and permanent in the moment
marnie
You really feel the weight of the saiyan history when Vegeta starts talking about how Frieza turned him into a tool and then threw him away like trash
EPISODE CONTEXT
