Dragon Ball Z Fan Short Goes Viral Thanks to Goku’s Skills

The battle between Goku and Frieza in Dragon Ball Z remains one of the biggest confrontations in anime history. While the two warriors have fought following their tussle on the planet Namek in Dragon Ball Super, their first fight remains the most popular. Now, one fan animation has gone viral as both the Super Saiyan and the alien responsible for the destruction of the Planet Vegeta trade blows in a stylish way unlike anything seen before in the Dragon Ball series.

The battle between Goku and Frieza originally ended on the Planet Namek, with the Super Saiyan managing to defeat the evil tyrant following the deaths of Vegeta and Krillin. Frieza would first return to threaten the world shortly after being blown apart on Namek, but was swiftly dispatched by the time-traveling Trunks, only for Dragon Ball Super to give him another crack at life via the Earth’s Dragon Balls. While the despot was destroyed once again, he would return to assist Universe Seven during the Tournament of Power Arc, wherein he was promised to be brought back to life if he fought alongside the Z-Fighters. While Frieza has been missing for quite some time following the conclusion of the tournament, rumors are beginning to swell that the creature responsible for the destruction of Namek is prepping for his return.

Twitter User King_Sukunaaa shared this brawl that looks far more like a bare-knuckle boxing match than the planet-destroying battle that was responsible for the original decimation of Piccolo’s homeworld, following Goku’s first time becoming a Super Saiyan:

Throughout the history of Dragon Ball, there have been a ton of villains that have switched side from the dark to the light side. Piccolo, Vegeta, Majin Buu, and Androids 17 and 18 are just a few examples, but Frieza is a special case. While the goals of Frieza and the Z-Fighters aligned during the tournament, it doesn’t seem as though the Shonen antagonist will be joining the heroes in the future as he still has quite the desire for revenge against the Saiyans while also still seeking to rule the universe.
