In 2003 and 2004, right before the Toonami anime block shifted from airing every weekday to only on Saturdays on Cartoon Network, it featured reruns of Dragon Ball Z. It was from a VHS recording of those of airings that I plucked this moment from the original Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z's Buu Saga, in which Goku gives an impassioned speech to Vegeta encouraging him to lay down his pride and fuse in order to defeat Buu. Like with Vegeta's humiliation speech to Goku, this clip is cool in that in the original Japanese version, Goku doesn't say anything during the flashback, whereas here, they added a whole section in which he appeals to Vegeta's pride. What's also interesting is that in the U.S. broadcast version, you can see an edit from the uncensored version of the dub. In the broadcast version, Goku says "They've become part of Buu, they're trapped inside him!" whereas in the uncensored version, he says "They've become part of Buu, they can't even die!" There are several versions of this scene up on KZbin, but this is the first one that's an exact, high-quality rip of a VHS recording of how it looked it on Toonami, back when it originally aired to U.S. audiences.
This video is a lossless conversion from a VHS tape and is at ~60fps, meaning it looks as faithful as possible to how it would look if you watched this on a TV that was de-interlacing a VHS tape. It's also been upscaled to 1440x960 in order to be viewable at ~60fps on KZbin.
