[@kevinchavis2755]

This was Dragonball Z at its purest when it came to actual martial arts. The weaker the characters were the more emphasis on martial arts, the more powerful they were the less actual great martial arts choreography. The 1st 2 movies Dead Zone and Worlds Strongest along with Fusion Reborn were the best movies to me. Plus this art style was excellent

[@Realkeepa]

Actual😂😂😂😂

[@Doxsein]

agreed, have always thought dead zone displayed the best fight choreo in martial arts

[@sonyx4500]

It should have stayed that way. It was all ruined in the Frieza Saga and onwards.

[@blackchibisan8116]

And I think the problem with that as one of those “what a great problem to have” is that you need to put a lot of work into martial arts heavy work of any kind, regardless of medium and the better you get at it the more people are gonna expect and the worse it is going to get. Because now they want more being released on the same schedule. But damn is a good problem.

[@chrismcknight2250]

[@rasdiggle]

This era had talented animators working their butt's off.

[@darkprinc979]

This was back when the fight choreography was centered more around the hand-to-hand combat, and the ki blasts were meant to be supplementary and/or finishing moves. By the time we got to the Android saga, the combat became much more focused on large ki blasts and explosions because of the power creep.

[@chrisblanc663]

The sequence of Goku dodging the swords is such a Jackie Chan move, and is probably the best 5 seconds of any DB moment. I love that kinda thing.

They didn't use power levels at all in DB Super. They went back to techniques and martial arts. What are you smoking. Did you completely miss things like Master Roshi's fights in the final tournament.

One of the most entertaining breakdowns I've ever seen. No curses, good humor and observant. Nice job.

[@YouGuessIGuess]

That sequence where Goku dodges the weapons is still the most well-choreographed sequence to come out of the entire Dragonball franchise imo.

[@sincerepeoples5689]

Not gonna lie people talk about how vegeta and goku are like this ultimate combo and they used as a duo a lot in DBS but piccolo and goku as a team is seriously slept on. In my opinion.

[@DemonicRemption]

@sincerepeoples5689 Yeah for a guy who hated Goku's guts back-in-the-day, Piccolo's synchronization with Goku was on point.

[@raybrooks2429]

I love how everybody slams into the environment and it doesnt always crumble, makes you really go "that had to hurt". Later in the series of course people just fly through mountains as if they were made of styrofoam.

[@AConnorDN38416]

What I loved about this movie, in addition to the amazing choreo, was that Picollo and Goku were basically equal and both looked bad ass. It’s not too often that you get to see the supporting characters really take center stage in the main battles so this was a real treat.

[@marcusfrazier4923]

"Then he's gonna start doing calestenics!" 😂😂😂

[@stylesp7313]

This was all before computers and digital techniques. This is hand drawn. Absolutely unbelievable. So much thought and creativity went into this. I wish new dragonball content would stop focusing on new forms and focus more on good stories, adventure and this level of choreography. Mind-blowing.

[@CognizantCheddar]

Dead Zone was peak Dragonball. The franchise was at its best _before_ the power creep started going out of control.

[@XeroFailGames]

Goku dodging the swords is pretty close to an old jackie chan movie where he dodges a bunch of tennis balls coming at him

[@keyspirits95]

It reminded me of that one 1989 batman movie where there's a goon with dual swords slashing at Batman and he blocks with his arms, and there's sparkles coming out like DAMN. It was in part cheesy but awesome, like something out of an anime.

[@yozarian86]

Early series had amazing fights, but early movies, especially this.. Next level entirely. No detail was missed in choreographing these fights.

[@sjcobra84]

The movements and attention to detail in The Dead Zone was so clean.

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

04:56 is probably the closest a Dragon Ball Z production has ever been to an actual martial arts movie. It's like something from a Jackie Chan Hong Kong movie made in the 1980's. Absolute perfection in under a minute.

[@morganjohnson539]

This is what introduced me to Dragon Ball. The sequence between Goku and Ginger was used in the opening sequence when DBZ was first broadcast in the US. The first scream of Shenron, followed by rapid fire snippets of intense fighting. It just got the blood pumping! BEST animation I had seen up to that point. I was hooked.

[@orun0810]

You and me are on the same page. I used to get up early to watch DBZ on UPN if I remember. That opening is forever stuck in my head.

[@Alessandro1983]

Deadzone was head of its time as far as fighting sequences. Very original and breathtaking , jaw dropping fight scenes. No overreacting with the projectiles. Mainly pure martial arts & conditioning.

[@Nekesu]

The fact that people can do blow by blows from fights from an anime with an original series starting almost 40 years ago is crazy. It’s awesome the one that started it all managed to keep popularity in Japan and US (also worldwide). Every now and again my timeline fills with Dragon ball and it’s never a bad thing.

[@MistaMagic52]

So glad this movie's choreography is getting the appreciation it deserves. I wish Dragonball would go back to this type of masterful martial arts. Deadzone, World's Strongest, and Goku vs Piccolo at the end of Dragonball had the best choreography (and art style as well) in the entire series.

People forget Piccolo still got that demon king in him and has no problem killing an opponent. Goku kills on accident or after giving you a million chances. If you watched original Dragonball, youll understand how epic it is to see Piccolo and Goku teaming up and how crazy strong an opponent has to be to push them both to their limit. This was Dragonball at its finest. A martial arts anime with a touch of super powers. Not a super powers anime with very little martial arts as it is today.
