00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times Dragon Ball characters

00:16pulled off the ultimate flexes.

00:32Number 10 – A Lesson in Super Saiyan

00:35Vegeta's days of mayhem and mercilessly executing his foes may be behind him, but that doesn't

00:41mean he's not above teaching a wayward Saiyan a lesson in manners.

00:56After coming under attack from Broly and his pups, Vegeta takes the opportunity to demonstrate

01:01all the forms a Saiyan can attain.

01:18From the classic gold all the way to godly red, Vegeta schools his junior completely

01:24and utterly, and it is amazing to watch, especially when rendered in such gorgeous

01:29animation.

01:43Number 9 – The First Flash

01:46Heads up, there's a lot of Vegeta here, but when the Prince of Saiyans is pulling

01:51off stunts like this, it's impossible not to highlight them.

02:01After attaining his perfect form, Cell makes quick work of practically everyone, including

02:06Vegeta, whose pride and ego is instantly shattered when his punches stop making an impact.

02:21Enraged and humiliated, Vegeta pulls out all the stops, namely his ultimate finishing move.

02:32The blast is so intense that not only does it take off half of Cell's body, but also

02:49illuminates a fraction of the planet.

02:58Number 8 – Goku Gets Back in the Fight

03:01After exhausting the power of Ultra Instinct, it looked like Goku was out for the count.

03:06That would have been all well and good if it weren't for Jiren getting his second wind.

03:19Empowered beyond his maximum, the alien warrior lays waste to both Freeza and Android 17,

03:25dooming Universe 7's prospect of survival.

03:35That is, until a torn and tattered Goku emerges to throw himself back into the fray, and in

03:42doing so unites two former enemies into a last bastion, while also letting loose some

03:48impressive ki energy.

03:56Number 7 – Vegeta Rises

03:59Tangoing with Kid Buu is no easy feat.

04:02The pink planet destroyer can knock around the likes of Goku when he's fully kitted

04:07out as a Super Saiyan 3.

04:15So you can guess just how badly he was able to smack around base-level Vegeta.

04:20And yet, despite being mauled and literally beaten into the ground, the Saiyan prince

04:25refuses to go down without a fight.

04:37His sheer tenacity and unwillingness to fall is so intense that it even strikes fear into

04:42a creature as single-minded as Buu.

04:58Number 6 – Gohan Gets Serious

05:01In what feels like the only time Gohan has truly been given respect since he defeated

05:06Cell, this brief yet glimmering brawl against Super Buu showcased what an adult Gohan would

05:13look like if he was still the main character.

05:24Following his training with the old guy, Gohan makes a last-second appearance to save Piccolo

05:29and his brother, and single-handedly wrecks Buu in the most satisfyingly disrespectful

05:35way.

05:44It may not have lasted long, but this display of ferocity reminded us that Goku's firstborn

05:50is indeed a beast.

05:58Number 5 – Goku No-Sells Frieza's Punch

06:02Goku and Frieza's long-awaited rematch within Super certainly had its peaks, especially

06:07when it came to the reveal of their newly-acquired ultimate forms.

06:14Initially, it appeared that Golden Frieza was able to match Goku beat-for-beat, perhaps

06:24even best the likes of Super Saiyan Blue.

06:27That is, until Goku shut him down with this epic display.

06:39Not only does he eat one of Frieza's punches without flinching, but responds in kind with

06:44a one-inch strike that leaves the tyrant reeling.

06:48That's hardcore.

06:57Number 4 – Trunks Destroys Future Androids

07:00While the likes of 17 and 18 in the current timeline were able to redeem themselves, that

07:06was not the case for those who resided in Trunks' future.

07:17The last time the Son of Vegeta encountered this lethal duo, they decisively wrecked him.

07:23This time, very different results.

07:34Thanks to the intense amount of training he endured, Trunks was on a whole different level,

07:39which he swiftly proved by annihilating 17, 18 and Imperfect Cell like they were Cybermen.

07:46Avenging all he had lost in the process, payback is sweet.

07:58Number 3 – Super Saiyan 2

08:01Not since his daddy first went golden has a transformation rocked the foundations of

08:06anime itself.

08:18After some encouragement from 16, followed by Cell killing him, Gohan finally snaps and

08:23showcases the latent power he had inside him.

08:34This new form not only comes with plenty more hair spikes, but a zero-tolerance for Cell's

08:39wicked ways, leading to Gohan laying down the law and beating the perfect android and

08:46his progeny to near extinction without breaking a sweat.

08:57This point in time, Gohan was the single strongest character the series had ever seen, and it

09:02was amazing to witness.

09:16Number 2 – Final Atonement

09:18Vegeta's relapse into evil initially looked like the end of any kind of redemption arc

09:24he had been building towards.

09:31Happy to embrace the dark side again for another chance to best Goku, he had traded his new

09:36life away then and there, and then he turned everything around with an act that was as

09:41selfless as it was demonstrably amazing.

09:49Facing off against Majin Buu, Vegeta unleashes an attack of such magnitude that it claims

09:55his own life in the process, but not before giving his final farewells to those he now

10:01realises he's come to care for, including Goku.

10:40Number 1 – I am Son Goku

10:42The debate around Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai in terms of overall quality is

10:48likely never going to end, but damn if the latter didn't do justice to one of Goku's

10:53greatest moments.

11:03After attaining the power of Super Saiyan for the first time, Goku reveals to Frieza

11:07exactly who and what he is, with a speech that makes both his enemy and the planet itself

11:14quake.

11:18We'll always enjoy the ally-to-good, nightmare-to-you angle, but this right here?

11:26This is Dragon Ball hype in its purest form.
