[@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]

[@getsugaallen6612]

Akira did say he wanted him to play Goku

[@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.

[@Crimsontiger133]

Nah I love DBZ but as I said countless times. I want them to go back to martial arts instead of power levels.

[@zednoraa]

Agreed

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.

[@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

[@daddy_oh_vekx5536]

[@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.

[@rimjobledouche5201]

I've been saying this same goddamn thing for like two decades now. DBZ fighting has never looked as good as it did in the early movies.

[@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.

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

[@YouGuessIGuess]

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

[@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.

[@slayboymusic6682]

[@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.

[@sjcobra84]

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

[@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]

Goku hasn't always been a naive idiot. There were times when he's killed quickly without a second thought.

[@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.

I think The World's Strongest is better choreography than Tree of Might. Tree of Might is where it starts being all about ki blasts.

[@ooccttoo]

Dead Zone is in this great sweet spot of being 1. A prequel to Z 2. A movie with a movie’s budget 3. A very simple plot All of these add up to the storyboarders and animators just getting to flex with some really great martial arts choreography. What we see in this movie is basically not possible (or at least unlikely) to be in any other part of Dragonball.

[@keyspirits95]

The closest being World Stongest and maybe Mystical Adventure.

[@KuulSHep]

Between the 2-on-1 sword fight between Goku, Nicki, and Ginger and the 3-on-1 with Master Roshi and those experiements in the movie before that, these were the best choreographed action sequences in DragonBallZ. Short but absolutely memorable after all these years.

[@travisrsmith44]

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.
