Top 15 Dragon Ball/Z/GT Moments (EDITED)
So, yeah, I thought I would write about my favorite (animated) parts of the Dragon Ball franchise. It took a while to gather (and in some case, make) clips to go with these entries. There are a lot of good moments in the franchise, even though the overall quality varies, and I’m sure there are plenty of good bits I’ve overlooked. If you feel I’ve missed good ones, please do comment and explain why.

Cell manges to elude Trunks and 18 begins to make her escape with Kuririn. However, Cell appears. Vegeta keeps Trunks from stopping Cell. Trunks gets upset and fires a powerful attack at Vegeta. Cell easily takes 18’s attacks and closes in on her. Trunks jumps in and attacks Cell. Cell uses a Taiyo-ken and blinds everyone in the area. Then he absorbs 18 at his luxury.
