Hmmm..Frieza was always a hard opponent. I think this battle was a lot more frustrating the future ones.

Goku is a real super sand legend! I mean Super Sayen ;p Really sweet development, seeing Freeza all freaked out is just too epic!

Frieza got his ass kicked this episode. Ally to good nightmare to you. Epitome of cheese.

Son Goku is mad and he is the legendary Super Saiyajin, Frieza stands no chance!

Goku's speech to Frieza was pretty good in the dub until the end, I really think it should've ended with "I am the Super sayian Son Goku" I just think that ties it back to what Vegeta was going on about far better then "I am the truth".

Master Roshi sounded a bit southern/country during the good sentence he had there.. all the va changes...

Looks like the tides of the battle have swiftly changed and while Frieza isn't really showing fear, he's definitely showing that he's on edge and is freaking out.

Love it :p

I love how Frieza can't do much to him anymore.

Goku looks so awesome in super saiyan form, and his speech at the end was brilliant.

Yeha but now I wonder if he will get an insta kill, or if the fight will go on for more eps

The tide turned. Its interesting to notice how the heavy breathing changed. Now Goku is all quiet while Freezer gasping.

How the tables have turned, Piccolo's sacrifice and Krillin's demise brought about the Super Saiyan transformation, the very same legend that Frieza, deep down, heavily feared. When Frieza tried shooting down the retreating figures of Gohan and Piccolo, The enraged Goku instantly appeared in front of him, blocking his way, and proceeded to crush his arm. It was at this moment that Frieza knew, he badly fucked up. Still, he has a semblance of hope. Frieza, right now, is fighting at 50% max of his abilities. As of yet, he hasn't used his full power. We shall see how that goes.

One thing I am curious about the Super Saiyan power-up is the potential it holds when it comes to various attacks and techniques. For instance, what would be the result of Super Saiyan empowered Kaioken? Now that's something to ponder about.

Frieza stands no chance anymore. He enraged Goku so much that he went super saiyan and became what he feared the most. There's not a whole lot left for him to do. Still, I believe he has more power to use, but even then, just how much damage will that inflict upon the super saiyan version of Goku? Well, he has definitely run out of luck - being practically incapable of even just hitting Goku once.

Nothing to ponder since in Dragon Ball Super, Goku states he never could join the two forms because one was of anger and the other was a calm state of mind sort of thing. Hence *SPOILER*


We won't be seeing that in DBZ.

Goku looks so majestic with the golden aura. He's got Frieza SHAKING. Loved his little speech at the end there.

One of the first times Gohan got yelled at hard by his father.
Finally Frieza gets even more of what's coming to him!

So the Super Saiyan form is a form of expression for Goku's anger.
He speaks a bit differently as Super Saiyan

Like @Pangea_ pointed out, this is the first time Goku yelled at Gohan like that, to add to that his way of talking is different, it has more pride and more dignified than when Goku talks normally which I suspect happens because of him transforming into SSJ. It might be that since he became a Super Saiyan that his Saiyan nature influences the way he thinks a bit, or perhaps his extreme anger? I wonder if Goku can still ride on Kinto'un. Also, this episode was better than the past showcasing Goku's newly acquired speed and strength that completely overpowers Freeza, ahh so satisfying.

@3boyass23 I will never get over how Kinto'un was forgotten T_T
But yeah. This feels like Toriyama was showing us that the anger & pride of Saiyan started to leak into Goku while transforming into Super Saiyan.
I would discuss its future implementation, but wouldn't be able to do it on this thread.
