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 Vegeta gives a speech to Goku about why he can't stand him. The speech is not only cool, it highlights one of the best aspects of the DBZ dub, which was that they talked over all the flashbacks. In the original, Japanese version, Vegeta's flashback is silent outside of background music for a whole two minutes, while in the dub, they gave him a giant monologue that adds more to his motivation. It's a humongous improvement. 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.
