I cannot begin to describe how much I love the detail of Vegeta flickering in and out of Super Saiyan whenever he takes a big hit. Easily my favorite detail in the film.
Prince vegeta being a prince who actually cares about his people Saiyans fighting like monkeys Kakarot being an important piece of the puzzle We NEED a full manga with thit concept
Fun fact for everyone here: The gentleman responsible for this juicy bit of awesomeness, Naseer Pasha, gained so much notoriety from this incredible piece of work that he was hired as an animator on the X-Men: 97 HBO series. Well deserved, this is gorgeous.
I saw a clip if this earlier of just the beginning of the transformation and thought "oh my God, Son Goku's final form should totally be Sun Wukong!" It would be a perfect full circle of his character!
Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool too. A full feature-film would be dope. I'm sure Toryama would sign off on it if he saw this. It's just a matter of getting the rights and the budget.
@@tomdeneen4880 2:06. OUH. 😲 Reminds me of Dr. D saying "UUHHMM" mocking John Stossel for saying "Uuhhhm." This was from the WWF Wrestling interview. The reporter got slapped twice for calling Wrestling "Fake".
I love those parts where Vegeta loses his transformation but recovers it in the middle of the fight. It's so smooth and shows how well trained is this Vegeta. That never happens in the anime.
the only time I saw any Saiyan flickering in and out of Super Saiyan was in the end of Dragon Ball Super, and it is one of the most beloved scenes by fans.
I would pay real money for this to be made into a series. Honestly, this is the best Dragon Ball fan film I have ever seen. When Goku became Sun Wukong, I got chills.
It’s so deeply inaccurate but I just can’t bring myself to care because it’s SO BEAUTIFUL! And yes, when he resembled his inspiration Sun Wukong the Monkey King, even using a monkey style of martial arts for a sec there, I lost my mind, this is amazing, and I would also pay money for this
What blew me away was how Vegeta turned super Saiyan out of the box and still got his but kicked and Goku turned into something more powerful than we could have ever imagine. If this was a movie I want to be first in line to see it
The way the fights are animated in this is how I always wished fights were animated in anime but most studios don't even come close to pulling it off. the fight choreography just flows perfectly with each sequence following up on the last without a hitch. Characters flip around and react to each others movements and attacks accordingly in each desperate attempt to land one good hit. Broly fights like an absolute unit who could break you in half instantly and makes each strike feel absolutely devastating. Vegeta flips and dodges every one of them as he pushes closer, taking advantage of each opening without getting greedy, keeping in mind the formidable threat his opponent poses. Weaving in and out of his opponents strikes and delivering blow after blow in between. It's not good enough for either to claim victory quickly. Since both are giving it their all, neither gets out unscathed. This is how fights should be animated. It flows perfectly without sacrificing the sense of speed or clarity of the movements with top-notch fight choreography. It never feels like it slows down to give you room to breath, but you're never rewinding to ask yourself wtf just happened. This guy is a talented af animator and I hope we continue to see more of this from him.
@@RoboJean1994 It's too short for context on nearly anything in the timeline shown and thus jokes would just feel forced, but I found Chi-Chi and Gokus dialog pretty amusing in the beginning.
Yeah it was god tier the only thing I could think of if I had to nit pick would be goku's transformation. Idk if that's a cameo to some other show but that type of transformation isn't something that would occur in dragon ball
When the lightning strikes at the beginning of Goku's transformation it creates the kanji for "Heaven" in the clouds. That level of detail is literally divine.
I love that this animation shows how difficult it can be to maintain a power mode during combat. They say early on in the series that it's tough to keep SSJ going, that it needs constant mental effort to keep up. So, the detail of vegeta losing concentration and him forcing the transformation back out when he loses it is just * mwah *. Fantastic work by everyone.
I agree! I loved that detail of him going in and out of the transformation when he took some of the bigger hits to emphasize how staggering the blows were and his resolve to keep fighting.
My guy literally just came out of no where with a fucking masterpiece Edit: I came back to remember someone in his passing. Rest in peace Akira Toriyama.
@@antoniogrady5954 It’s a masterpiece, the simple fact it took him 4 years to accomplish this which looks better then A LOT of animes, this is spectacular!!
@@LaChrisNola there are hundreds of animations that are scattered all over youtube that took 4+ years to make. Animation is a tough process simple as that, this short film is animated very nice but still theres so much exposition missing and from a story perspective lacking. Chorography looks great tho and thats all people give a shit about
"to every artist who taped DBZ and paused it to draw their favorite heroes." Don't make me cry. That's genuinely one of the sweetest things I've read. Because I was one of those kids that paused DBZ to draw Vegeta. That was so uplifting. Thank you for your passion.
Man, that one hit home. I remember I even tried holding a paper against the TV screen and tried to trace Gohan once, lmao. That didn't work, obviously, so I had to try and copy what I saw on the TV just by pausing and looking.
The thought of Goku having that specific transformation based on the myth he is named for "Son-goku/Son-Wukong" is pure genius. And this whole alternate reality story already has me invested. The potential this 10 minute short film has trumps what most shows or movies try to do with hours.
"The potential this 10 minute short film has trumps what most shows or movies try to do with hours" This is my biggest take away. It genuinely makes DB, DBZ and DBS look like it was written by children as all those shows follow the same exact shonen cliches and have the same overall story in each arc. So much so, DBS is incredibly stale. This is so fresh, it makes me want to go to the Sahara just to warm up a little lmao
@@pedroj3432 I always describe Super as the "Sequel Trilogy" of DragonBall, it's so lazy and creatively bankrupt that it hurts. They had something special with Broly and couldn't even keep with that direction...
@@thekingdev5305 jesus christ dont get me started on that travesty of a "movie". The only upside of the Gohan movie is they finally focus on other characters besides Goku. I genuinely wish Toriyama would understand he made Goku completely unrelatable. Id rather the show focus on anyone else other than him. And the lack of respect Vegeta gets as a character ... my god
I love that they took Goku's namesake, that of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, in "Journey to the West" and created a form that represented it. Great way to callback Toriyama's inspiration as well.
I like this idea even better than the original, and I didn't think that was possible. I even prefer this setup of Vegeta arriving at Earth to team up against Frieza. Just good ideas all around.
@@sirsmoothable honestly, I’ve NEVER seen the Saiyan tail go along with a Super Saiyan transformation. Now I’m just wondering why we’ve never seen it officially before! 😭
@@CelllIsPerfect fr, just remember that despite their status in the series, Krillin and Yamcha are the strongest humans on the planet Hell, even mr Satan Is the strongest out of all non Ki users
BRO just the text at the beginning "To every child who believed they could train in 100 times gravity" got me in my feels. The animation was spectacular!
i so much agree, they took the sci aspects introduced into Z and re wrote them to be more rooted in the original motifs of Dragon Ball. the more primal /fire versions of super saiyan feels way more natural than the simple power ups we see in Z.
This is a true love letter to a series that means so much to so many of you. You have shown a lot of people what dragon ball can be, should be, has been, and is. I thank you for bringing this to life, alongside everyone else who contributed. I look forward to your next project!
I just love the detail of Vegeta snapping in and out of his super saiyan form every time he gets staggered. It really gives off the impression that he has to consciously maintain the transformation rather than just being a power up that stays on during the fight, and it adds so much weight to the battle since he can be knocked back to base form for a split second. Overall, I just love every little detail in this animation and I'm just glad so many other people appreciate it too :)
Also, Vegeta totally switched tactics when he formed the sword, because he couldn’t maintain both it and the super-state at the same time, but the super-state wasn’t working so he tried something completely different.
Oh, and there are moments where Vegeta also gets a semi-bestial expression like Goku does, like he’s skirting the line between going properly super-Saiyan and going into the more uncontrolled state that Goku discovered. It’s a neat way to hint that they’re both drawing on the same ability.
Bro where was I when this fire animation released, like bro that raging Goku, Broly with one hand almost killing Vegeta, And they both using the Kamehameha to defeat Broly was like "French kiss". I loved the way Goku turned ino the fiery beast with OG super saiyan Rage was perfect and nostalgic.
I mostly like this version of Chi-Chi because, unlike the DBZ version of the girl who is the daughter of, until Goku, the strongest man alive who ruled an entire kingdom, THIS version of Chi-Chi kept up with her training to the point that she could apparently hold her own against an alien from outerspace who is an overpowered battle hungry freak of nature.
@@dvda9725 Dude, you literally camp in this particular comment section just to spread negativity. It's been three months, go find something better to do, goofy.
This is a complete masterpiece. From a company who knows a little something about film ourselves. Huge fans of DBZ as we grew up watching it as well. Extraordinary Job.
@@ShadnicThe I mean if they did, they would have to do something else. The rules of fan projects is that they're NON-PROFIT If they get money out of it, it's basically stealing an intellectual property.
I love the fact that this implies that master roshi's technique is so well known that even a race of warriors across the universe know of him and the Kamehameha.
@@KhundrylYea thats a no, he can read minds by force. Thats about it in this regard. If he could just transfer techniques by touch. Buu saga itself would be truncated.
This is why I freaking love anything fan made. Fans have the most wild imaginations and incredible talents, all driven by our own shared passion and love for this story
Let's all pray he gets left alone by Toriyama and Toei cause it's only inspired by, hate to see him get sued and DMCA into non existence like Team Four Star
This is so pretty and high quality I could cry The designs (Goku's Super Form is sick and the metal knuckles on Vegeta's gloves, Broly being huge), the choreography. Fricking amazing, delicious. I could watch this all day I love how the Super forms are shown to fade out when they power down, it's so cool! Over 9000/10
I can't get over the Sun Wukong namesake being an actual plot device and now I want a 60 year spanning story. This will go down in history as one of the greatest fan animations ever made
The fact that you guys did this on ZERO budget is absolutely mindblowing to me, and I would never have guessed from the absolutely incredible display I just watched.
Not really mindblowing on the account for having the ability lol, people have the tools these days, it's just most don't have the willingness to invest time learning skills towards it, as they rather enjoy a product than make fanworks that contribute to it. Then for most, at least in the west, there is this idea that fanworks are a lesser thing because they're not "official." The guy behind this obvious didn't think that way, thank goodness, lol!
@@justabearbrowsingyoutube4968 The time it takes to work on animation is more than just having the ability, the amount of dedication and time it takes is grueling, and is exactly why animators tend to get paid a fortune for even a short animation
@@XCalibur_EX animators get paid a fortune? pffttt hell no. Most of the time, it's the studios and their investors taking in the money while animators get paid peanuts ~ they get away with this by exploiting the passion of the animators working under them. If we're talking about mangaka then sure, an illustrator and writer could be paid quite a lot for making a successful manga.
This made me feel like a 12 year old watching Dragonball with my Grandma all over again. The nods to the emblem in the stormy clouds and the combat actually showing the mental fortitude it takes to maintain the Super Saiyan form... thank you for this.
@@williamh.gatesiii8183 I miss that woman every day. During her last few months, she asked me to explain why Vegeta had an "M" on his forehead. Context: She had missed the beginning of the Buu arc when she went into the hospital, so she needed to play catch up.
I'm begging for a full series of this, this is actually next level. If this is ever turned into an actual series I'm going to become a chronic spender for it dear lord.
1:25 I like the nice detail that Chi Chi doesn’t actually give a name in the Tournament. Small things such as this truly make you realise how much of a love letter this was to the Dragon Ball community.
@@jay5297 they gave me what I’ve been wanting for over six years LMAO just a transformation related to sun wukong in the way it was drawn was beautiful with the tail and hair on his forearms and monkey fire skull I would love to see that shit
It really makes the mind race with what Dragon Ball could've been. Stuff like how Broly's transformation makes him grow in size, and even Trunks did that once, but costed him his speed, or why SSJ3 makes the hair grow like that. Like another comment said, this is how it felt to watch the show as a kid.
Imagine if they made a sequel vid to this of goku and vegeta training and used it to set up thier own interpretation of thier rivalry as well as a bit of gt fun, vegeta with tuffle battle armor as a reference to baby vegeta and goku having a sorta ssj4 version of his current golden light Reguardless of what they make next I simply hope they keep making quality content that we and they can enjoy
I noticed something at 7:19. At first I was going to comment on how awesome it was to make Master Muten Roshi so respected in this universe that even King Vegeta has studied his techniques, then I realized that this is a reference to one of Sun Wukong's more obscure abilities which is to transfer knowledge of certain things via crossing of the palms or wrists. It's details like this that elevate this animation into the realms of, well, Legend.
Actually it was whoever came up with Sun Wukong mythology. That person inspired Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball inspired One Piece and so on. Just let that sink.
@@k.r.99 Sun Wukong mythology was definitely inspired from something before as well.. we cannot just pretend everything that came first inspired more, otherwise the bible would just stomp every other fiction source... it's more valuable to measure how many things were *directly* inspired by a single opera. In which case Dragon Ball is the oriental king of the 20th century
@MashuSlyferiux dunno about the whole thing about the bible since it wasn't exactly an original piece of work itself with MANY influences from previous stories and religions, but yeah. Even if an idea draws from something and is "unoriginal", the time it came out in and HOW it does it can be. Villains can become protagonists, comedies can tragedies, and what is groundbreaking becomes standard. Dragonball wasn't pretentious nor did Toriyama claim he was the first one to make some gags based on Journey to the West, he just wanted to see what he could do with his funny little monkey boy and what adventures he could come up with.
What I like is as Goku is going full-blown demon, Vegeta sees what would be a worrying transformation in any other show and smiles. With his more intimate familiarity of the Super Saiyan form in this world, and his words about Goku's form being more uncontrolled than normal, it's safe to assume that Vegeta has seen this a lot in his people training to go Super- maybe even went through it himself as he was learning to harness the light!
I know that everyone’s talking about the animation.. and it definitely is phenomenal, but why is no one also talking about the stellar voice acting in this? Somebody hire everyone involved in this lol
Even the voice acting was great. My favorite thing was goku's transformation looking more like wukong. Just how the whole thing leans into that influence more. It's a brilliant way to make your take distinct without disrespecting the source material. Just brilliant!
That’s not the only example of connections Goku to his inspiration. Sun Wukong has the ability to share his techniques or copy them onto other people, hence how vegeta was changed into super saiyan and was able to use the Kamehameha
@@joetheturtle7768 also in the og dragonball how he esencialy learned a weak but still decent Kamehameha wave when he was just a kid a technique that would take years to learn and decades to Master
Goku's transformation is definitely disrespecting the source material. It's just Naruto's nine tailed beast transformation but a monkey instead of a fox. That's a whole different anime.
I love this way too much. And watching it again after a few years is even more magical, because I understand how hard and animation and voice acting are (it also has one of my fav voice actors, elsie lovelock!!). Well done to everyone who worked on it, truly. You are all the true super saiyans!
Give these guys: -a budget -a show or film -a job -and an award for best upcoming animators You people are awesome and I'll watch your careers with the *GREATEST* interest! [EDIT] I feel me bringing up awards for animators has brought up lots of debate I was not prepared for...
Please Akira Toriyama see this and give this man and his team a job or some form of rights to do their own series. This is incredible. This is what we want.
This was one of the most badass DBZ inspired films I have ever seen. 100% needs to be funded. The lightning sound effects. The cheesy 90's music vibe. The personality and voice acting.
cheesy music?? bro the sound ost and score of late 80s to 90s Dragonball is THE SHIT!! i rewatched it some time back and i was enjoying every minute of it bcoz of how the music cues the changes in mood, atmosphere and add so much impact to the story. it adds so much drama and oomph!! dont you ever call it cheesy ever again! 😤
I can't tell you how much I loved this. It's been so long since a fan-made DBZ animation has kept me glued to the screen. This has to be one of the best ever made.
@@stevenfriedman2902 Maybe not but I'm sure seeing Holden get hyped about this retelling would spark a bit of interest. Regardless he should do a reaction video to this. Stray Dog Animation needs the love and support they deserve. With enough luck we can get blessed with a part 2 or the rest of the film within the next year or two.
The small details and your own take on the Dragonball lore make this a masterpiece. Vegeta representative of a true King rather than the villain we all loved him to be, Goku's oblivious nature, Vegeta's jacket to Bulma and her slight smile while sitting next to Yamcha, the scouter teetering on being over 9000, the inclusion of your personal mix of score from dragonball, tournament of power, and ssj3, inclusion of Vegeta's OG scripted lines, the grit a Saiyan possesses to fight through a broken body...and the seamless fight sequences that make us feel those body shots, the power of Broly causing a brief power down, and the never ending rage that we all love in our Saiyans.
The fact that this is the first search result for “legend” should go to show how incredible this animation is. It’s outstanding work from a team of creative masterminds
@@UltraEpicVids The channel didn’t have many subscribers beforehand and few people had even heard of the studio or this project. Within hours the algorithm changed drastically to highlight this video because of the amount of people watching it, not the other way around.
@@radioactivepigeon1902 I'm not talking about that. I'm saying this video isn't the first search result for "legend". It only shows up the first for you because the youtube algorithm made it that way for you specifically, since you probably watch dragon ball content.
@@UltraEpicVids Oh, I have my history turned off and I really don’t watch dragonball content especially on my phone, but it could be that I’m on mobile or something else. Either way, amazing video.
Honestly I keep rewatching this, the Aesthetic, the choreography, the animation, the dynamic movement, the voice acting, the Monkey King Sun Wukong Reference. Everything is such a Mindblowing True Love letter of outstanding work clearly crafted with love & passion. I Love this & Nothing but Props to all of yall that worked on it. Hope yall continue to Flourish!
This was everything I loved about DBZ as a child, dialed up to 11. The callback to old Broly, mixing Faulconer & Kikuchi music, the new concepts that fit cleanly with classic DBZ (Vegeta's sword, Goku's amazing Son Wukong transformation), the redesigns with tails, the brutality of the fights, Vegeta actually appearing regal like a king, and ending it all with a combo Kamehameha instead of having Vegeta job for the 1000th time. This man truly understands the core what DBZ fans loved and want to see more of, much more than Super's writers do. It's a shame that modern DB content will never capture that magic like this did.
@@alexandergauthier3640 I don't need to develop on a "fan animation" that's just showing us fights, but I don't agree with the story. If he wanna show us only battle then we don't need story at all but he tried and that's a weird sh!t.
What I love about this is it gives the OG DragonBall feel with the over-the-top nature of Z. It's like what dragon ball could be if it never lost its special something.
That's what happens when the artist and work get dragged back from retirement. The whole series was originally supposed to end when goku and piccolo fought in the final martial arts tournament. Then after the saiyan arc, than another time after the namek arc. The trend continues onward. Toriyama been trying to let the franchise rest for decades but it's beyond any one person's power now. DragonBall is its own entity, a new age zeitgeist
@@amuroray9115 sure that's your opinion but for me z is my childhood and could you give me some examples of the power creep issues you're talking about cause I never really noticed any
Everyone talking about the animation, but where's the love for the voice actors? They did an AMAZING job! As did everyone else. Excellent work here all together
Literally everyone working on this brought their absolute A-game. The sound, music, voices and of course animation. There's so much great work happening here.
THIS deserves to be its own series bro. The sheer passion and quality it's something you don't see quite often, and I really like the idea of an universe where Vegeta and Goku met earlier, but ALSO BROLY?. That's straight fire honestly. If they will continue this, I would love to see Frieza in this AU.
Mmm, not sure how to say it but the animation looks pretty bad and really good at the same time. I guess anything moving looks 'bad' but flows really well. The still shots are ok but very line-y.
This version of Vegeta is so cool!! He's not just an egomaniac or just proud. He actually cares for his people. Fight for Goku even know he didn't knew him just because he was from the same planet. What an amazing king.
Well to be fair vegetables always cared. As golu said he didnt have a choice or chance. to be anything other than what frieza wanted him to be. Look up the episode begets death or end of vegeta or something like that a very strong episode make sure it's the version with the bruce falconer sound track
@@quarreneverett4767 I honestly feel like there's an entirely different backstory to the Saiyan's here. They still seem like a warrior culture but somehow, Vegeta seems, honorable, and honest. I absolutely love it
Vegeta was always my favorite character of the show and it's clear he has a much more tactical mind. He realizes he can't just punch his way to victory so channeling all his energy into a bladed weapon was pure genius. Great stuff.
“To every child who believed that they could train in 100 times Earth’s Gravity…” As a grown man who is training harder than he ever was because of Dragon Ball Z (and a few other properties)…this was a very touching sentiment.
Yo Masako, any chance we get some theory videos on where the story could go from here if they decide to continue? Would love to hear your what if thoughts
I just noticed that the clouds at 6:13 light up in the shape of the Chinese character for sky/heaven (天). The subtle details like that make this animation all the better, it really shows how much the animators were obsessed with making this the absolute best it could be.
Bloody incredible. This had me giggling and bouncing in my seat like I was 10 years old watching Goku go SSJ on Adult Swim again.. Naseer Pasha and The Stray Dogs, you've created a masterpiece. Here's to more!
The love for details is beyond awesome. My personal favorite detail is the fact goku's transformation is almost a frame by frame of his first super saiyan transformation.
Can we just talk about how insane Gokus transformation is? The flames kicking back and burning his face. Ugh soooo flippin good! The animation, the story, I would watch a whole freaking movie on this! Absolutely amazing!

@@swordsmanthegamernine7973 it’s a separate universe entirely.

Patreon in the description 💪🏼 thanks for donating to this masterpiece (if you do)
What blew me away was how Vegeta turned super Saiyan out of the box and still got his but kicked and Goku turned into something more powerful than we could have ever imagine. If this was a movie I want to be first in line to see it
all the best qualities of dragonball wrapped up in god tier animation
SO GOOD AHHH
Well, it's missing the comedy but otherwise I agree
Agreed Shgurr!
The way the fights are animated in this is how I always wished fights were animated in anime but most studios don't even come close to pulling it off. the fight choreography just flows perfectly with each sequence following up on the last without a hitch. Characters flip around and react to each others movements and attacks accordingly in each desperate attempt to land one good hit. Broly fights like an absolute unit who could break you in half instantly and makes each strike feel absolutely devastating. Vegeta flips and dodges every one of them as he pushes closer, taking advantage of each opening without getting greedy, keeping in mind the formidable threat his opponent poses. Weaving in and out of his opponents strikes and delivering blow after blow in between.
It's not good enough for either to claim victory quickly. Since both are giving it their all, neither gets out unscathed. This is how fights should be animated. It flows perfectly without sacrificing the sense of speed or clarity of the movements with top-notch fight choreography. It never feels like it slows down to give you room to breath, but you're never rewinding to ask yourself wtf just happened. This guy is a talented af animator and I hope we continue to see more of this from him.
@@RoboJean1994 It's too short for context on nearly anything in the timeline shown and thus jokes would just feel forced, but I found Chi-Chi and Gokus dialog pretty amusing in the beginning.
Yeah it was god tier the only thing I could think of if I had to nit pick would be goku's transformation. Idk if that's a cameo to some other show but that type of transformation isn't something that would occur in dragon ball
When the lightning strikes at the beginning of Goku's transformation it creates the kanji for "Heaven" in the clouds. That level of detail is literally divine.
Why is no one talking about the voice acting? I literally got chills every time vegeta spoke, incredible work 20/10!
broly sounded like yoda trying to do an impression😭
@@S7ARDU5T yeah only thing that ruined it for me was broly
@@S7ARDU5T other than Vegeta they were all near perfect

This video represents why 2D hand-draw art will never be replaced. The energy, the emotion, the power of each frame in this movie is amazing.
death
Alright bro calm down🤣. No need to be on their Dick like that lol
Ikr
2D hand drawn animation hasn’t gone anywhere. Many things are 2D hand drawn. Not computer made
meh. demonslayer hast best shots currently
Vegeta's design in this was flawless. This is the kind of writing he deserves.
7:04 - 7:08 is a moment I just can't get over. That delay between the impact of the punch and the launch from the punch is done so perfectly.
I love that this animation shows how difficult it can be to maintain a power mode during combat. They say early on in the series that it's tough to keep SSJ going, that it needs constant mental effort to keep up. So, the detail of vegeta losing concentration and him forcing the transformation back out when he loses it is just * mwah *. Fantastic work by everyone.
I agree! I loved that detail of him going in and out of the transformation when he took some of the bigger hits to emphasize how staggering the blows were and his resolve to keep fighting.
Maybe that's why he transfered the power from the form into a technique. Easier to maintain. But all offense
It was amazing to see they lose ssj and gain it back while fighting
The regular series should adapt this
Very well said. I was thinking the same during the fight.
The Vegeta we never got, but the one we always wanted.
Your right
*you're
Well I like this vegeta much better, but we will only get this kind of vegeta early on the dbz story if only frieza didn't destroy planet vegeta

"to every artist who taped DBZ and paused it to draw their favorite heroes." Don't make me cry. That's genuinely one of the sweetest things I've read. Because I was one of those kids that paused DBZ to draw Vegeta. That was so uplifting. Thank you for your passion.
This made me cry
I definitely teared up after that line.
Man, that one hit home. I remember I even tried holding a paper against the TV screen and tried to trace Gohan once, lmao. That didn't work, obviously, so I had to try and copy what I saw on the TV just by pausing and looking.
That line made my damn day
im a terrible artist, but i was one of the kids who thought they could train in 100x earth's gravity. And i think we're still in the same boat.
The thought of Goku having that specific transformation based on the myth he is named for "Son-goku/Son-Wukong" is pure genius. And this whole alternate reality story already has me invested. The potential this 10 minute short film has trumps what most shows or movies try to do with hours.
"The potential this 10 minute short film has trumps what most shows or movies try to do with hours"
This is my biggest take away. It genuinely makes DB, DBZ and DBS look like it was written by children as all those shows follow the same exact shonen cliches and have the same overall story in each arc. So much so, DBS is incredibly stale.
This is so fresh, it makes me want to go to the Sahara just to warm up a little lmao
@@pedroj3432 I always describe Super as the "Sequel Trilogy" of DragonBall, it's so lazy and creatively bankrupt that it hurts. They had something special with Broly and couldn't even keep with that direction...
I think we can all agree that
This is better than the Gohan movie
@@thekingdev5305 jesus christ dont get me started on that travesty of a "movie". The only upside of the Gohan movie is they finally focus on other characters besides Goku.
I genuinely wish Toriyama would understand he made Goku completely unrelatable. Id rather the show focus on anyone else other than him. And the lack of respect Vegeta gets as a character ... my god
@@CobraTrouser Cringe
I love that they took Goku's namesake, that of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, in "Journey to the West" and created a form that represented it. Great way to callback Toriyama's inspiration as well.
I like this idea even better than the original, and I didn't think that was possible. I even prefer this setup of Vegeta arriving at Earth to team up against Frieza. Just good ideas all around.
Honestly? It would be pretty cool if this was the official final form of goku.
It would be the “come full circle” moment for the franchise as a whole.
The incorporation of the saiyan tail is what made me love this 💯😭
@@sirsmoothable honestly, I’ve NEVER seen the Saiyan tail go along with a Super Saiyan transformation.
Now I’m just wondering why we’ve never seen it officially before! 😭
@@sirsmoothable Dragon Ball definitely needs more tail recognition
I actually like how they're a little more ape-like in their movements. This would be so amazing to have continue if it ever happens.
Chi-Chi blocked a punch from Broly and didnt shatter into pieces or fly through the entire stadium. She is stronger than we are giving her credit for.
Tbf didn't the same happen to videl
@@SleepLessThan3 Humans can take a lot man. We forget with all the Aliens about.

BRO just the text at the beginning "To every child who believed they could train in 100 times gravity" got me in my feels. The animation was spectacular!

@@slipstream5762 Same! and you're so right! its been so long since I've seen so much genuity and passion!
I LOVE the SunWukong references in the transformation of Goku, really leaning back into Dragonball's original inspiration
I honestly thought it was some kid's super edgy reimagining of a super saiyan. I mean it still could be but the reference to wukong isnt lost on me.
i so much agree, they took the sci aspects introduced into Z and re wrote them to be more rooted in the original motifs of Dragon Ball. the more primal /fire versions of super saiyan feels way more natural than the simple power ups we see in Z.
@@mattdekker5693it’s sun wukong, don’t worry. edgy super saiyans are lost in this age
Exactly. So good
Well, super still based on wukong. Goku is ascending to god level. Just like wukong
Black Myth Wukong brought me back again to this masterpiece
This is a true love letter to a series that means so much to so many of you. You have shown a lot of people what dragon ball can be, should be, has been, and is. I thank you for bringing this to life, alongside everyone else who contributed. I look forward to your next project!
SHeeeeeeeeeesh
What do you mean by"goku will know what it's like to be a legend"?
Is this before goku even had ssj, and he's the weakest here?

th-cam.com/video/UDfbmIH3x6E/w-d-xo.html
@@youtyiyyutuu104 lol no
Their team work made Saiyans pride becomes noble again
I just love the detail of Vegeta snapping in and out of his super saiyan form every time he gets staggered. It really gives off the impression that he has to consciously maintain the transformation rather than just being a power up that stays on during the fight, and it adds so much weight to the battle since he can be knocked back to base form for a split second. Overall, I just love every little detail in this animation and I'm just glad so many other people appreciate it too :)
Yessss!! This jumped out at me. Awesome!
One of the best comments that I have seen on this video
It also shows how fucking powerful Broly is, able to knock you back to base with one hit lol
Also, Vegeta totally switched tactics when he formed the sword, because he couldn’t maintain both it and the super-state at the same time, but the super-state wasn’t working so he tried something completely different.
Oh, and there are moments where Vegeta also gets a semi-bestial expression like Goku does, like he’s skirting the line between going properly super-Saiyan and going into the more uncontrolled state that Goku discovered. It’s a neat way to hint that they’re both drawing on the same ability.
Guess I'm not the only one who felt the urge to come here after the news...
Nothing ever dies, we will rise again.
for some stupid reason i thought ide be the only one because its fan made. im going to TFS next lol

@@bicboss1817 i see what you did there
Bro where was I when this fire animation released, like bro that raging Goku, Broly with one hand almost killing Vegeta, And they both using the Kamehameha to defeat Broly was like "French kiss".
I loved the way Goku turned ino the fiery beast with OG super saiyan Rage was perfect and nostalgic.
I really appreciate how Chi-Chi is protrayed. Her willingness to fight to protect Goku was something I always wanted during that tournament.
And then DBZ ruined her.
@@MforMovesets you mean sexy time with kockarot ruined her
@@MforMovesets yup
I mostly like this version of Chi-Chi because, unlike the DBZ version of the girl who is the daughter of, until Goku, the strongest man alive who ruled an entire kingdom, THIS version of Chi-Chi kept up with her training to the point that she could apparently hold her own against an alien from outerspace who is an overpowered battle hungry freak of nature.
I mean she would still do this in real life,it’s just she had a son to take care of
REAL TALK. Chi Chi tanked Base Broly's punch, watched him take down Goku and Vegata, and still came out like, "imma punch this fool". Mad respect.
thats why vegeta immediately understood "marry that woman while you still can"
"Mad respect"? It's not real, dude. Also, you're not gangster, stop trying to talk like it.

I came back to this and have probably watched it half a dozen times.. my god it's a masterpiece.
I love the fact that this implies that master roshi's technique is so well known that even a race of warriors across the universe know of him and the Kamehameha.
Son Goku has the ability to transfer his knowledge to others. That why Vageta knows the move after touching Goku.
Sun Wukong Transformation has the ability to transfer knowledge
@James Rane In Japanese Sun Wukong is known as Sun Goku.
@@KhundrylYea thats a no, he can read minds by force. Thats about it in this regard. If he could just transfer techniques by touch. Buu saga itself would be truncated.
@streak3442 I think he's talking about Chinese lore sun wukong not dbz or this fan fiction one
This is why I freaking love anything fan made. Fans have the most wild imaginations and incredible talents, all driven by our own shared passion and love for this story
Let's all pray he gets left alone by Toriyama and Toei cause it's only inspired by, hate to see him get sued and DMCA into non existence like Team Four Star
That's because fans have genuine PASSION and not greed.
When even the original story have no plot😂so the fans made some
I do be writing over a 800,000 word fan fiction for this verse that has over 600,000 posted online.
There's nothing wildly imaginative about this. It's all derivative of something.
This is so pretty and high quality I could cry
The designs (Goku's Super Form is sick and the metal knuckles on Vegeta's gloves, Broly being huge), the choreography. Fricking amazing, delicious. I could watch this all day
I love how the Super forms are shown to fade out when they power down, it's so cool! Over 9000/10
I can't get over the Sun Wukong namesake being an actual plot device and now I want a 60 year spanning story. This will go down in history as one of the greatest fan animations ever made

The fact that you guys did this on ZERO budget is absolutely mindblowing to me, and I would never have guessed from the absolutely incredible display I just watched.
Passion counts for more than people think
Not really mindblowing on the account for having the ability lol, people have the tools these days, it's just most don't have the willingness to invest time learning skills towards it, as they rather enjoy a product than make fanworks that contribute to it. Then for most, at least in the west, there is this idea that fanworks are a lesser thing because they're not "official." The guy behind this obvious didn't think that way, thank goodness, lol!
@@justabearbrowsingyoutube4968 The time it takes to work on animation is more than just having the ability, the amount of dedication and time it takes is grueling, and is exactly why animators tend to get paid a fortune for even a short animation
@@XCalibur_EX animators get paid a fortune? pffttt hell no. Most of the time, it's the studios and their investors taking in the money while animators get paid peanuts ~ they get away with this by exploiting the passion of the animators working under them.

Reminiscent of fog hill of the five elements, if you haven't seen it yet.
Coming back to this two years later and the raw passion of the animation still makes me cry. This is a fantastic piece of work.
I came back since I saw their account post the tribute to Mr. Toriyama. I too watch this every now and again. It's SO good!
Its a masterpiece
Also makes me cry. Glad I'm not the only one
This made me feel like a 12 year old watching Dragonball with my Grandma all over again. The nods to the emblem in the stormy clouds and the combat actually showing the mental fortitude it takes to maintain the Super Saiyan form... thank you for this.
Cool grandma
@@williamh.gatesiii8183 I miss that woman every day. During her last few months, she asked me to explain why Vegeta had an "M" on his forehead. Context: She had missed the beginning of the Buu arc when she went into the hospital, so she needed to play catch up.

I like the nice detail that Chi Chi doesn’t actually give a name in the Tournament. Small things such as this truly make you realise how much of a love letter this was to the Dragon Ball community.
Holy shit that's true, she wanted Goku to remember 😭
That callback to Goku's inspiration Sun Wukong in that transformation was a sight to freaking behold.
RIGHT?!?!
@@jay5297 they gave me what I’ve been wanting for over six years LMAO just a transformation related to sun wukong in the way it was drawn was beautiful with the tail and hair on his forearms and monkey fire skull I would love to see that shit
It really makes the mind race with what Dragon Ball could've been. Stuff like how Broly's transformation makes him grow in size, and even Trunks did that once, but costed him his speed, or why SSJ3 makes the hair grow like that.
Like another comment said, this is how it felt to watch the show as a kid.
Yes! that transformation gave me goosebumps 😁
It was a sight alright blehh
"Never in my life have I needed something so much and never known until I received it." The LEGEND here is you and your team.
Imagine if they made a sequel vid to this of goku and vegeta training and used it to set up thier own interpretation of thier rivalry as well as a bit of gt fun, vegeta with tuffle battle armor as a reference to baby vegeta and goku having a sorta ssj4 version of his current golden light
Reguardless of what they make next I simply hope they keep making quality content that we and they can enjoy

Bruh you just saw this man this is fucking hype 😱
honestly
I agree
I noticed something at 7:19. At first I was going to comment on how awesome it was to make Master Muten Roshi so respected in this universe that even King Vegeta has studied his techniques, then I realized that this is a reference to one of Sun Wukong's more obscure abilities which is to transfer knowledge of certain things via crossing of the palms or wrists. It's details like this that elevate this animation into the realms of, well, Legend.
Wow, I had no idea! That's really cool!
Just how obscure is this ability?
Woah, that explains why vegeta was able to use the kamehameha way better!
I mean goku's look, movements and fighting style are very close to Sun Wukong
It’s not that bro it’s a good theory but he confirmed he learned it from goku
Look what Akira Toriyama inspired... he's a legend and will truly be missed
Actually it was whoever came up with Sun Wukong mythology. That person inspired Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball inspired One Piece and so on.
Just let that sink.
@@k.r.99 Sun Wukong mythology was definitely inspired from something before as well.. we cannot just pretend everything that came first inspired more, otherwise the bible would just stomp every other fiction source... it's more valuable to measure how many things were *directly* inspired by a single opera. In which case Dragon Ball is the oriental king of the 20th century
@MashuSlyferiux dunno about the whole thing about the bible since it wasn't exactly an original piece of work itself with MANY influences from previous stories and religions, but yeah.
Even if an idea draws from something and is "unoriginal", the time it came out in and HOW it does it can be. Villains can become protagonists, comedies can tragedies, and what is groundbreaking becomes standard.
Dragonball wasn't pretentious nor did Toriyama claim he was the first one to make some gags based on Journey to the West, he just wanted to see what he could do with his funny little monkey boy and what adventures he could come up with.
What I like is as Goku is going full-blown demon, Vegeta sees what would be a worrying transformation in any other show and smiles.
With his more intimate familiarity of the Super Saiyan form in this world, and his words about Goku's form being more uncontrolled than normal, it's safe to assume that Vegeta has seen this a lot in his people training to go Super- maybe even went through it himself as he was learning to harness the light!
As TFS Vegeta once said: "never in my life have I needed something so much and not known until I received it."

Even the voice acting was great. My favorite thing was goku's transformation looking more like wukong. Just how the whole thing leans into that influence more. It's a brilliant way to make your take distinct without disrespecting the source material. Just brilliant!
That’s not the only example of connections Goku to his inspiration. Sun Wukong has the ability to share his techniques or copy them onto other people, hence how vegeta was changed into super saiyan and was able to use the Kamehameha

Has Dragonball Deliverance not given you that feeling at all? Just curious
The small details and your own take on the Dragonball lore make this a masterpiece. Vegeta representative of a true King rather than the villain we all loved him to be, Goku's oblivious nature, Vegeta's jacket to Bulma and her slight smile while sitting next to Yamcha, the scouter teetering on being over 9000, the inclusion of your personal mix of score from dragonball, tournament of power, and ssj3, inclusion of Vegeta's OG scripted lines, the grit a Saiyan possesses to fight through a broken body...and the seamless fight sequences that make us feel those body shots, the power of Broly causing a brief power down, and the never ending rage that we all love in our Saiyans.
"In all my years of training, never before have I seen such a powerful, potent run-sentence.... yet still, never before was it so deserved."

The callback to old Broly, mixing Faulconer & Kikuchi music, the new concepts that fit cleanly with classic DBZ (Vegeta's sword, Goku's amazing Son Wukong transformation), the redesigns with tails, the brutality of the fights, Vegeta actually appearing regal like a king, and ending it all with a combo Kamehameha instead of having Vegeta job for the 1000th time.
This man truly understands the core what DBZ fans loved and want to see more of, much more than Super's writers do. It's a shame that modern DB content will never capture that magic like this did.
At least It's not GT
"what db fan loved" just fight with good animation that's all.
But yeah without including all dialogue and weird moment it's a good "fan" animation
@@reynoldvondegurechaff how shallow of you bruh..
@@alexandergauthier3640 I don't need to develop on a "fan animation" that's just showing us fights, but I don't agree with the story. If he wanna show us only battle then we don't need story at all but he tried and that's a weird sh!t.
@@reynoldvondegurechaff yeah but why come here with spite? Maybe you actually really like the video, but don't fully realize it yet. 😎💁🏻♂️
What I love about this is it gives the OG DragonBall feel with the over-the-top nature of Z. It's like what dragon ball could be if it never lost its special something.
Passion and love for the franchise 😭
That's what happens when the artist and work get dragged back from retirement. The whole series was originally supposed to end when goku and piccolo fought in the final martial arts tournament. Then after the saiyan arc, than another time after the namek arc. The trend continues onward. Toriyama been trying to let the franchise rest for decades but it's beyond any one person's power now. DragonBall is its own entity, a new age zeitgeist
@@vilkarmooringstead5346 fr as much as I love dB I think it's better if it had ended after z
@@realmrpro5751 it honestly should have ended with OG Dragon Ball. Z had a shit ton of these power creep issues
@@amuroray9115 sure that's your opinion but for me z is my childhood and could you give me some examples of the power creep issues you're talking about cause I never really noticed any
Everyone talking about the animation, but where's the love for the voice actors? They did an AMAZING job! As did everyone else. Excellent work here all together
Literally everyone working on this brought their absolute A-game. The sound, music, voices and of course animation.
There's so much great work happening here.
Mid voices
People have been giving the voice actors credit…
Did you comb through all 57k+ comments before you made yours?
This actually sounded a lot like the English dub for the show.
@@nesssaysok2497 your so cool😍
THIS deserves to be its own series bro. The sheer passion and quality it's something you don't see quite often, and I really like the idea of an universe where Vegeta and Goku met earlier, but ALSO BROLY?. That's straight fire honestly.
If they will continue this, I would love to see Frieza in this AU.
2D animation of this high a quality is why we can't lose the artform. Every frame is absolutely a work of art in and of itself
Mmm, not sure how to say it but the animation looks pretty bad and really good at the same time. I guess anything moving looks 'bad' but flows really well. The still shots are ok but very line-y.
@@Berstich lets see u do something like this dude. Lol
@@Berstich no
This version of Vegeta is so cool!! He's not just an egomaniac or just proud. He actually cares for his people. Fight for Goku even know he didn't knew him just because he was from the same planet. What an amazing king.
hell yeah, i really hope we get to see more of this. i'm a vegeta fanboy and i'm absolutely stoked
Well to be fair vegetables always cared. As golu said he didnt have a choice or chance. to be anything other than what frieza wanted him to be. Look up the episode begets death or end of vegeta or something like that a very strong episode make sure it's the version with the bruce falconer sound track
Vegeta is desperate to try to hold and uphold a legacy ontop of the twisted things drilled into him
@@quarreneverett4767 I honestly feel like there's an entirely different backstory to the Saiyan's here. They still seem like a warrior culture but somehow, Vegeta seems, honorable, and honest. I absolutely love it
Easier to be a better person when your not raised by the freezer force or an evil saiyin race
Vegeta was always my favorite character of the show and it's clear he has a much more tactical mind. He realizes he can't just punch his way to victory so channeling all his energy into a bladed weapon was pure genius. Great stuff.
Am I fine? I like goku and vegeta. Their personalities are by far my favourite.
still to this day best fan film by far. none can touch this level of Broly and D.B love
“To every child who believed that they could train in 100 times Earth’s Gravity…”
As a grown man who is training harder than he ever was because of Dragon Ball Z (and a few other properties)…this was a very touching sentiment.
Felt that in every drop of my sayajinblood.
Real
My god. That's just... mesmerising.
Isn't it? I felt like a kid watching Dragonball Z for the first time all over again!
The Ultimate in What-If telling! A reality where, among other things, the Saiyans still exist.
This is based in another comment but,would you be interested in doing a what-if where Vegeta goes back in time after dying in the majin Buu saga ?
I'd love to see more Journey to the west inspiration in modern DB. It's been lacking ever since early DB
Yo Masako, any chance we get some theory videos on where the story could go from here if they decide to continue? Would love to hear your what if thoughts
I just noticed that the clouds at 6:13 light up in the shape of the Chinese character for sky/heaven (天). The subtle details like that make this animation all the better, it really shows how much the animators were obsessed with making this the absolute best it could be.
Wow, your eyes are superhuman
Nice detail, especially since later when Goku transforms the subtitles says “The savior from heaven, Son Goku”.
I thought it was also an Akuma reference from street fighter because when we does his taunt, that Kanji appears over him.
I personally thought it looked like the Japanese symbol for King: Enma (王), alluding to Goku's power.
0:57 I love the detail that raditz is alive and well
"today a God dies, bones to dust, ashes to the wind!" This line goes hard
Just freaking epic that line!
Feel free to screenshot
Quoth the broccoli, "carrot"
Yeah, I kept thinking about that line.. It's cold..
It hits hard AF!! I thought it was "today a God Falls". I had that in my head all day!
RIP TORIYAMA (1955 - 2024) DBZ CHANGED AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF CHILDREN'S IMAGINATION.
Very true
Bloody incredible. This had me giggling and bouncing in my seat like I was 10 years old watching Goku go SSJ on Adult Swim again.. Naseer Pasha and The Stray Dogs, you've created a masterpiece. Here's to more!
💯 Same feels here
Same here
on adult swim? man.... I feel old now.
The love for details is beyond awesome. My personal favorite detail is the fact goku's transformation is almost a frame by frame of his first super saiyan transformation.
Can we just talk about how insane Gokus transformation is? The flames kicking back and burning his face. Ugh soooo flippin good! The animation, the story, I would watch a whole freaking movie on this! Absolutely amazing!
would like to see a ssj4 goku with similar aesthetics but I know for copy right reasons probably won't happen.
How about they make their own anime! Totally could sell.. All I see is 🔥🔥🔥
If we wait 10 years for a sequel, it’s worth it.
No it isn't. The average anime studio makes greater animation
@@paulduffy5288 This isnt an "average anime studio", its a handful of people doing a passion project
Totally agree. ✊🏾
@@paulduffy5288 the average anime studio is capable of greater animation but in practice they churn out loads of uninspired projects after overworking their underpaid staff to death
@@solstrana3168 Okay? Every anime studio is a group of people you 🤡 so what's ur point exactly.
For eg mappa bones ufotable all of objectively have far greater visual detail.
I love it when a project makes you feel like you're peeking into an alternate timeline where things went differently.
Yeah, I love this and what the implications are.
Holy moly this is by FAR the best anime fan movie ever. Breathtaking animation quality.
Its so well made that feels illegal to watch this for free on TH-cam. Hats off to the team man, they have done an amazing job
