Courage, Strength, Determination. All qualities necessary to successfully challenge a foe such as General Red. For his legions of Red Troopers are notoriously treacherous and powerful. Forutunately, Goku possesses these attributes and more. One need only review his past accomplishments against the Red Ribbon Army to verify his status as a true hero. With its superior resources and technology, the Red Ribbon Army emerged as a mighty force which swept the land like a plague, inflicting death and destruction to all who would not submit to its iron will. Bent on conquest and power, the army set out to obtain the seven mystical dragonballs, they combed all parts of the globe, unleashing a reign of terror that would become its dark legacy, woe to those unfortunate enough to cross Red's path. They struck without warning, laying waste to whole cities and burying the cries of the innocent in a storm of explosions and fire. No one could oppose such invincible evil, until Goku. His was a power unlike any the world had known. Try as they might, not even the Red Ribbon Army could contend with this boy and his power pole. His quest for the dragonballs led Goku into countless conflicts, but one after another his enemies fell; he even found time to make some new friends along the way. The dragonballs were scattered across the farthest reaches of the world, and General Red's unscrupulous methods of acquiring them left no boundary unscarred, but no matter the menace, Goku was there to even the odds and stamp out evil... and he wasn't alone, with allies such as Yamcha, Master Roshi, Puar, Oolong, Bulma and Launch all at his side to aid the fight for truth, freedom, and justice. It isn't easy and peril exist at every turn, but no matter the danger, wherever evil raises its ugly head to persecute the innocent, there is one who will always be there to set wrongs right again. Goku, Champion of Good.
It’s hard to believe the impact this moment in the series leaves behind especially with what comes next in Z and beyond kinda makes you wonder after Goku beats them are they truly gone forever?
And then history repeated itself, now there's some jackass with universe-searing power chilling on a rock somewhere because some dipshit wanted 5 more centimeters.
Imagine to be 6 to 7 years old and watching this first time in the television. The narrator ruined the epic song. I need to wait for many years since 1995 for the youtube to appear so I can hear this again. Thank you God.
I watched this scene for the first time and all I could say is wow. This scene was in my head all day while I was at work there is no character out there like Goku, Absolutely amazing series. Imagine if there was someone like Goku out there, who rode on the clouds and ruled with an iron rod. A heart pure and innocent, yet strong and courageous. One boy versus the Red Ribbon army, how can you make something like this up?
My apologies. It's just that they STILL replace songs in Dragon Ball dubs. It's not the '90s anymore, I'm sure people could enjoy the Japanese songs nowadays.
@gameking8809 Nice recap to those who might have missed a few episodes, and the narration gives a beautiful conclusion to the adventure we the viewers just witnessed
The awesomeness of the narration is only matched by the absolute absurdity of the fact that there are actually people whining that the English Dub has the narration to begin with.
Cause It was enough with dubbing the fking song that actually explains the menace of the red Ribbon and the fighting spirit of Goku, or subtitles, but having an obnoxious narrator that repeats whats the series showed itself clear over and over It was unnecesary, but i Guess US likes over exposition, and why he sounded like he was presented news from Fox or something xD
That's called censorship and localization. Name changes and joke changes are localized to make more sense in america. Especially back in the early 90s and 80s. Although that is not the case today. Censorship was on luffy's suction cups, simply put it was "too violent" by 4kids standards to have someone shot with an arrow. It's not about racism its all about censoring things the FCC would say is too much for american tv. And localization so things make sense in the us.
1:56 rofl....when he went -> His was a power unlike any the world had known,... a power surpassed only by the power of his heart. He journeyed the Earth, battling the minions of his wicked stepmother Hera, the all powerful Queen of the Gods. But, wherever there was evil, wherever an innocent would suffer, there would be: Goku!
I know minor dialog changes aren't important and don't affect the story. I just used to find it really annoying to hear one English term see another one in the subtitles.
They're just minor dialogue so it doesn't matter. I could have to do with the Lipsync as the English dub of Animes have their lines fit better with the character's mouth flaps.
@KajiRider1997 That would be because he was the scientist who created all the technology that Red Ribbon used, Goku ruines his plans for world conquest, so of course he'd be back :) The parts with Gero were taken out of the anime series, although you can find them in the Manga, that's why the Anime when we first here about Gero assumes you know who he is, because you supposedly read the Manga, all this material was written when the Manga was still being published so that's the explanation.
sry, you are completely wrong. The anime takes out no parts of the manga. The character of Dr. Gero was an afterthought. He wasn´t introduced before Trunks appeared.
It could be worse. The narrator could be the Z narrator in this scene. I do love Brice Armstrong as the narrator, but I'd rather hear this song without his monologue thanks x]
the only animes out of them iv watched is dragonball z and am watching fairy tail in english aint watch the others but everyone knows that they are at the top of the list and manga list and so is beelzbub
FUNimation's not racist! 4kids, however, is really racist! It's because when this was being shown on TV hardly anyone knew or though that it was an anime and that it came from Japan. If they heard the song without the narration, they would be confused and find it weird hearing a song in a language they can understand. They could have taken out the vocal and sing an english version but I'm sure they had a good reason.
i know gt wasnt that good as dragon ball and z but i still loved it cause it helped with the story line so in my eyes i am glad they did it and many people who dont like gt thats why they didnt make anymore in my eyes cause they got slated for it.hope 1 day, they do make more cause i miss it so much even when i got them all on dvd >.
It is a bit much. It seems they assumed Americans wouldn't like it, I guess. It's superfluous really. Even if you don't know Japanese, and I know maybe five or ten words in it, the english words "red ribbon" and the song's usage as a montage work as narration.
I didn't really mean the "racist" bit. I was just exaggerating. I'm sorry I offended you! T_T And I know. 4Kids also thinks people don't read, so they even digitally remove ENGLISH and GIBBERISH text. They act like people are really stupid and closed-minded. Why would people NOT wonder why Sonic held up a blank sign, or why a Japanese kid was named "Mortimer"? Let's not forget my personal favorite... why did it hurt so much when Luffy pulled off those suction cups his opponent had shot at him?
i dont remember kid goku ever saying ''im just a kid'' whenever faced with danger , unlike gohan gotenks and trunks that were twice as tough as kids as goku was! hehe tough kid!!! ;)
THis was one of the most brilliant narration/ music combination of all time. Brings tears
Bro I was crying

Thank you 💯
Ahh the climatic conclusion to the Commander Red Saga and the Red Ribbon Army arc. This is where Goku finally became a true hero.
They added in the narration to hide the Japanese music as much as they can. Of course anyone can hear the music.
It’s hard to believe the impact this moment in the series leaves behind especially with what comes next in Z and beyond kinda makes you wonder after Goku beats them are they truly gone forever?
Dragonbal SUPER SUPERHERO
2:04 Not even the red ribbon army could contend with this boy and his “POWER POLE”
He destroyed that army lmao!!
The first 35 seconds are absolutely heart-pounding!
the narration gives goosebumps but it could've been said not when this epic soundtrack was playing
Rewatching this scene because I just found out Brice Armstrong passed away. RIP.
All this carnage, devastation, apocalyptic future, and the erasure of an entire timeline, because a guy wanted to be taller.
Actually Zamasu had nothing to do with Dr Gero and the red ribbon army
@@youngmultiverser9311 Would not had happened had Goku died like the original timeline demanded.
And then history repeated itself, now there's some jackass with universe-searing power chilling on a rock somewhere because some dipshit wanted 5 more centimeters.
@@stillnousername9796 Well somewhat, as he is still alive, with his army intact.

As Magneto in the X-men cartoons would "The brave are always the first to die."
Goku was one brave boy when it comes to fighting the forces of evil.
I'm not sure but I think I watched the ocean dub when I was little. You can't believe how nostalgic it felt when I started reading the Manga.
Goku was never so easily killed even as a kid. He has years of battle to prove it.
Kid Naruto would die here
I watched this scene for the first time and all I could say is wow. This scene was in my head all day while I was at work there is no character out there like Goku, Absolutely amazing series.

The Japanese version beats is the best... this narration kills it.
You will be missed Brice Armstrong.😭😭😭😭😭
oh no man!!! sniff
i Grew up watching the Funimation Dub to i just love Goku's Voice
It's 2022 and this dudes ain't gone yet, they are going now for his grandchild Pan
My apologies.
It's just that they STILL replace songs in Dragon Ball dubs. It's not the '90s anymore, I'm sure people could enjoy the Japanese songs nowadays.
thanks for making my childhood and adulthood so amazing btice armstrong
Goku is boss
“I’ve been waiting for this...”
Jesus he was REAL eager to massacre the soldiers.
You damn rights. They are bad people. Most of them are totally ok with hurting teenage girls and little boys even before they know he has power.
Poor little Upa. Tao should have STAYED dead...or whatever he was after the grenade went off. Bet it wasn't pretty.
Goku is THE BEST ! ! !
Yes you are the best, Goku
Dragonball Z- coolest fights.
Dragonball GT- Cool story line.
Dragonball- Coolest music.
Eh I feel like Dragon Ball had the best story line
tbh i feel like gt had excellent ideas but failed with it
I actually like the narration
why?
@gameking8809 Nice recap to those who might have missed a few episodes, and the narration gives a beautiful conclusion to the adventure we the viewers just witnessed
Dubbing over this song... was a terrible mistake.
However, Brice Armstrong is a great narrator... so, I don't know what to think of this.
They dont have rights to the song, so thats why the narration is there
Anyone knows the name of the song at the beginning? Strong nostalgia omg

YEAH GOKU! U CAN DO IT!!!!
8 people are part of red ribbn army
idk why the narrator had to keep talking, the song was badass and should have left alone to be enjoyed
Shut the hell up😊

I wish we had a Goku to defeat the IDF
General Red didnt want to wish for his eye to recover, nooo he wanted to be tall.
Ridiculous.
Crazy should be on that list
dragonball(z)(gt) best cartoon (or anime if u wanna say that) ever... thumbs up if u agree
I think the original didn't had all this narration, it honestly takes away from it, the music alone with images is enough.
It doesn't
1:56 rofl....when he went -> His was a power unlike any the world had known,... a power surpassed only by the power of his heart. He journeyed the Earth, battling the minions of his wicked stepmother Hera, the all powerful Queen of the Gods. But, wherever there was evil, wherever an innocent would suffer, there would be: Goku!
uma das melhores cenas do anime
Descanse em paz, meu amigo Akira Toryama!!🇧🇷❤️
I'm glad someone uploaded this so I could comment about how shit the english dub is. The lame narration ruined such a HYPE scene that the original is!
Fuck off weeb.
yes it is dont say that it isnt canon it is so live with it even if it is horible see the bright side of that serie
I actually liked the dubb. but I've never heard the original.
In portuguese there is no narrativos... there is only music
Americanos nao tem copyright da musica original
there's so sad@@ero-senninsama1734
Cara, passe o tempo que for... que desenho!
They didnt really get into the origin of the red ribbon army did they..
It's okay.
@mrd456
doesn't matter a classic is still a classic forever
Hey, don't say that! That's not true! Just look at FUNimatons dubs today! They're good and have the original Japanese music.
I know minor dialog changes aren't important and don't affect the story. I just used to find it really annoying to hear one English term see another one in the subtitles.
They're just minor dialogue so it doesn't matter. I could have to do with the Lipsync as the English dub of Animes have their lines fit better with the character's mouth flaps.

That's commander red not general red
Go Dragon Ball gang 😆
@Pro1337ProL33T Why did you think DR,Gero was pissed at Goku in the first place?
anyone know what the song is called before the narrator starts talking? it always reminds me that goku's about to kick some serious ass
RED RIBBON RULES
No way the narrerator is good i think.
Bad news guys. The narrator Brice Armstrong retired.
v.v
Kid goku biggest inspiration in my life.
This episode
the music is moeru heart
this is the ocean dub i think
Shut up narrator, you're killing the atmosphere
Soynereh shut the fuck up
You're right. The narration is really lame and unnecessary
Rob James you a bitch ass nigga
@MJ0428 I already know that was giving a sarcastic answer to @Pro1337ProL33T for asking a dumb question like that!!
yes i agree with that new rap song not at all good, just 1 day a little hope they do make more
in Germany we always have the original songs ... I couldnt believe they exchance songs in the USA sometimes... WHY??? J-Songs rock
actually the german opening is not the original one for Dragonball.
@@gameking8809 yes youre right. Aside the openings. I mean the songs during the episodes :P :-)
Moeru Heart De (Red Ribbon Gun Wo)

More like subtlety-phobia. That's what the Funimation dub excelled at. Unecessary Exposition.
BTW, It's Japanophobia and/or Niponophobia.

I think he said it isn't easy
Then watch the english dub without subtitles or Japanese with Subtitles.
Whats the name of this theme song begining of this video. Not the last..
i dont remember kid goku ever saying ''im just a kid'' whenever faced with danger , unlike gohan gotenks and trunks that were twice as tough as kids as goku was! hehe tough kid!!! ;)
The reason I will only watch this scene in Japanese...
Apparently if kids hear Japanese in an ANIME, they'll stop liking it.
