2. Goku vs. Frieza
Goku vs. Frieza is a meme in the anime community because the supposed 5 minutes stretch out over several episodes. Nevertheless, the fight is one of the best in the series. Frieza, who has defeated all other fighters in his final form, finally faces off against Goku.
In this battle, Goku fights not only for his friends but also for Vegeta, who tells him about the fate of the Saiyans. The major highlight of the fight is Goku’s first transformation into a Super Saiyan. The finale of the fight, highlighted by the impending destruction of the planet, marks the conclusion of the Namek Saga.
3. Trunks vs. Frieza and King Cold
At the beginning of the Android Saga, the fate of Goku is uncertain. Strangely, he cannot be revived either. To make matters worse, Frieza appears with his father King Cold to take revenge on Earth.
However, the former strong enemy is quickly killed by an unknown Saiyan with a sword, who can also transform into a Super Saiyan, just like Goku. This battle shows that the power dynamics have changed in the Android Saga, and Frieza no longer holds any significance. Particularly exciting is Trunks’ appearance, who embodies his father’s arrogance.
