*tear* I actually loved this episode. In both English and Japanese, because you clearly see Vegeta's plight to kill Frieza because of all he's done to their race. *Standing ovation*

This has to be one of the saddest DBZ episodes, no matter how many times I watch this series this one episode always makes me tear up. Poor Vegeta he certaintly did have a sad and hard life thanks to Frieza. I can't wait to see Goku kick his ass for all the pain hes caused.

Noooo!! Vegataaa.... T^T So he really didn't give a fuck about his fellow Saiyans. I thought maybe his pride just made him say that.
After te japanese version I also watched the English one.. Oh dear god :'D "What a touching story" indeed, Vegeta's voice.. AHAHAH. Oh god sorry.. I almost feel ashamed hearing him talk like that. Then out of the blue Goku is like: "Please, no more", my exact thought. Although I also kind of like this Vegeta-has-feelings point of view apposed to the just-pride one.. !!SPOILER!! Makes it a little less hard to picture him becoming a family man. !!END OF SPOILER!! (are there no spoiler tags or something? xD)
Well it's sad either way.

He was gradually changing for a long time, I could see this coming. I like how he had been becoming more good character but still killed Namekians, and Dende's phrase "He's just like Freeza! He's also killed so many Namekians!" was reasonable

There are



So planet Vegeta wasn't destroyed by its Kami-sama with a giant meteor after all. I wonder if Kaio-sama knew that but didn't tell Goku because Kaio-sama knew Goku would want to fight with Freeza no matter what

Son Goku arrives! But Frieza kills Vegeta! Vegeta with tearful eyes has last words for Son Goku: The Saiyajins were Frieza's slaves. The Saiyajins executed all commands. But Frieza feared the legend of the Super Saiyajin. So Frieza killed all Saiyajins. Frieza killed Son Goku's father. Frieza killed Vegeta's father. Frieza destroyed the planet Vegeta. Son Goku has to avenge his people. Son Goku has to kill Frieza!

So let the battle Frieza vs. Son Goku begin! Awesome episode, one of the best in Dragon Ball Z!

Wow, what an an emotional episode. I love Vegeta, easily one of my favourite fictional characters of all time. The feels man, the emotion, we now understand why Vegeta is the way he is - what an emotional episode, him crying surprised the hell out of me. RIP my sweet prince <3 Goku was so badass this episode, I can't wait for him to whoop Frieza!

Funimation certainly added some lines that made Vegeta seem someone who regrets his actions but in reality he never really gave a shit about hurting people like the dude was a giant douche and I guess working under Frieza's thump only amplified his Saiyan thirst for vicious battles.

Frieza's stunned face, classic lol.

So, Vegeta was blackmailed into working for Frieza? That's new. I thought King Vegeta was blackmailed and Vegeta just listened to his father.

Anyway, Time to see what Goku can really do!

This episode really makes you feel for Vegeta. I had to remind myself that he's still a psychotic jerk who is happy to kill off an entire planet for a profit.

That episode was beautiful, rest in peace Vegeta. He's one of my favourites for sure now. We finally see some insight to why Vegeta's such an asshole, and why it's all Frieza's fault.

Goku's also gotten over how soft his heart is, one of his only weaknesses. Frieza's had it now. Man, I wish their parents were there to see how they've grown up, and I wish Vegeta was alive to see Goku defeat Frieza.

I honestly loved this one and I bet I'll love the next one. Let's find out how the fight begins!

It's save to say this is one of the best EPs so far in DBZ. Vegetas begging towards Goku as the proud Saiyajin, reaching out his hand, dying a few seconds later was an emotional peak.

Goku burying Vegeta showing his respect. I still dont remember how they resurrect them all but now we sure all hate Freezer with anger. GOOOO GOKU!!!

This was quite an emotional episode. Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans, has been brought to an end. His tears of frustration and regret echoing across the landscape in the wake of his death. Vegeta was truly starting to change with the small uncharacteristic unconscious acts of mercy he displayed to Gohan and the rest. Maybe this will be the turning point for a newly, spiritually metamorphosed Vegeta, but not instantly, it will take baby steps, that's for sure. I found it interesting that Frieza, deep within, still holds a semblance of care towards Vegeta as he admitted of having a desire to end his suffering. I guess, even monsters like Frieza can feel human emotions.

Finally, Goku Vs. Frieza. It can't get any more personal than this.

Oh my, so it seems the time has finally come, huh. Goku vs Frieza, what will be Goku's most fearsome opponent, of course, the other way around as well. Goku shows immense power, deflecting each of Frieza's attacks, with one hand as well. He's nothing like the opponents before him. Vegeta's demise was a tragic one. I hope this will work as an incentive for Goku to train even harder in order to beat Frieza in the future. I can only imagine how this battle will end.
