It’s Toei’s stupid-ass pride that caused them to make that decision. I understand that they’re Japanese and Japanese people have lots of pride on what they love to do, and that’s great, but honestly, there are times where they need to put their pride aside in order to make their fans completely satisfied and happy.

[@VinchVolt]

Actually the difference in "quality" comes from different animation directors being used to project their own art styles onto each episode rather than treating the whole staff as cogs in a machine; it's a very common practice in anime compared to in Western animation. As a result, what you get is a broad variety of artistic expression at the cost of overall consistency.

I was never into looking up battle powers after the Namek/Freeza arc, with ridiculous fan made numbers reaching the millions and billions. There's a reason it was stated within the series itself that scouters can't measure someone's true power. And there's a reason battle power were completely discarded. They became irrelevant.

[@jeremyknight9980]

@Son Gohan Yeah, the murder of love, P machinery and the Chase are my favorites. Yes Faulconer loved using synth music. the reason why they had music constantly playing in the background was because back then American television wanted to hide the fact that anime were cartoons from japan and they asumed kids had very short attention spands. 4kids did the same thing when they dubbed anime.

From a plot standpoint this scene is also perfect. We just had an entire saga showing us how powerful Frieza is, Goku just barely managed to kill him, then Frieza returns in a even more powerful body. This new Super Saiyan appears out of nowhere and kills Frieza with one hit. Great way to show power levels without using numbers. This scene also does a great job at showing us just how strong the androids will be. Trunks can kill cyborg Frieza in one hit, but can't kill the androids.

Kirby Presley Not plagiarized. There's a band called Propaganda and they had music vastly similar to some of the beats that Kenji Yamamoto had at the time. It's rather homage, in honor of one of the greatest bands in the world combining it with DB was amazing. Battle point unlimited is one of my favorites in this series.

[@OWmyDragonballz]

Kirby Presley Yamamoto didn't plagiarize anything in Z, only in Kai. Also, Yamamoto was actually layed off, not fired as said in one of the Japan newspapers.

[@OWmyDragonballz]

Kirby Presley Well if you want to think of it as Plagiarism then fine, but I personally think it's homage. Besides, this is the only song in the entirety of Z that some people complain about. George Lucas's Star Wars opening song was based off of a 50's movie where the beginning part of the music sounds exactly like it yet people don't complain about that. Yamamoto mainly only went too far in Kai. Z's music was completely fine and it was awesome. It's not being "denial" to believe it's homage because it actually makes sense. I also find this video title ironic to our argument we are having now. This is a downgraded version of the actual Broadcast Audio that AnimeMaakuo owns and it sounds so much better in comparison to this one. Someone took website samples and placed it on KZbin all based on the original broadcast claiming it to be theirs, lol. People even go so far as to sell samples and send him death threats.

Trunks had so many awesome themes in the Cell Saga, it's insane. I love the one during his flashback in episode 139 while on the ship.

[@serial_btw5087]

One of the most beautyfull scene of all Dragonball z

[@johnmonty7077]

Oh my god the music is friggin awesome, Im used to the bruce falcouner and other funi version. Never heard this, wow what a gentle banger

[@gespenst1329]

More like it can be found in the Hit Song Collections.

[@DrRotwang]

@@johnmonty7077 Want more of that music? Then listen to Propaganda's 1985 album "A Secret Wish", from which the song was plagiarized.

[@gespenst1329]

@@DrRotwangYea, although there are a few other MONOLITH instrumentals in the Hit Song Collections that Yamamoto somehow didn’t plagiarize.

[@gespenst1329]

RIP AKIRA TORIYAMA

[@Cyrx686]

Hearing head cha la theme is just something else...that song will never leave our memories

[@RC-go2kl]

I wish the camera kept panning away from Trunk's face to the point of seeing Frieza's halves still separating apart.

[@gespenst1329]

Also, when King Cold says “Teki de wa-“, the first 4 notes that come up fit it perfectly. Hard to believe the track came *9 months* before this episode was aired.

[@SaiyanZ3]

I love that sound at 1:19

[@versatiletitan2466]

SaiyanZ3 mee too

[@alx0243]

0:43 Admire the sound effect when the sword cuts freezer in half

[@vgcf86]

it sounds amazing

[@davesalazar9245]

King cold was in 2nd form imagine his final form. Its good that trunks didnt let him transform

[@14ed14ed]

0:20 the loyalty of the Sayans to warn their adversary so as not to attack them from behind
