Dragon Ball/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

* Vegeta fighting against Super 17 remarks that he is an Earthling who carries the heart of the Saiyans.

* Also from DBZ, after Goku throws the Spirit Bomb and kills Buu, he floats down slowly to the face-in-the-mud Vegeta, holding out a thumbs up, saying "we make a pretty good team after all, don't we?" Vegeta's head slowly lifts, smirks, and he returns the thumbs up.

* This troper always found Goku's proposal to be adorable. I mean, as a stupid little kid, he mistook marriage for a kind of food (understandable, given [[Oblivious to Love|this]] [[Is It Something You Eat|is]] ''[[Idiot Hero|Goku]]''...), but when he's grown, he nearly breaks Chi-Chi's heart when he tells her so, and then turns around and proposes for real. This troper found it a lot more romantic than several big, fancy, traditional proposals in other shows and movies she's seen.

** It's a miracle he could disengage his arm from her embrace to fight Ma Junior. Or Tien, for that matter.

* For this troper, it was Vegeta, preparing to [[Taking You ~~With~~ Me|sacrifice himself to kill Buu]], finally revealing that he has a heart and [[Final First Hug|embracing his son Trunks for the first time...]] topping it all off with a "You've made me proud." After spending the entirety of the previous major arc not even giving his family a second thought, this was a true indication of just how far the Saiyan Prince had come. {{spoiler|It would've been even more heartwarming if Buu hadn't survived and Vegeta hadn't brought back to life the next day.}}

** Goten was so moved by this scene, he sucked his thumb briefly.

** Pretty much ''any time'' the incredibly emotionally stunted Vegeta and #18 show that they care, especially #18 - at least with Vegeta you get the constant idea that Earth has been slowly growing on him through the series; with #18 you get a while before she shows, however briefly, that she actually cares about anyone - until then you get the idea that she's just hanging around everyone out of habit rather than friendship. Her yelling out to Krillin before his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] against Super Buu was a nice "awww, she ''does'' care" moment, [[Kill'Em All|even if she and everyone else]] ''[[Kill'Em All|did]]'' [[Kill'Em All|die immediately afterward.]]

*** For #18's part, it's played a whole lot straighter in GT [[Dragon Ball ~~(Manga)~~/Tear Jerker|when Krillin is murdered by Super 17]].

** We even see that Vegeta cares for Gohan and Goten, as well; when everyone believes that Buu killed Gohan, Vegeta is enraged and mentions this as one of his main reasons for wanting to kill Buu. Later on, after {{spoiler|Earth is destroyed, Vegeta snaps at Goku, not that he let ''his'' son die, but that he let ''their sons'' die.}}

* All of the reunion scenes after everyone is wished back to life in the Buu saga. Some of them are anime-only, but still. Special mentions go out to Krillin's family -- when his daughter runs up to him for a hug, and he looks up to see 18 coming out of the shadows, smiling and waving, and Gohan landing behind Videl and tapping her on the shoulder... and she turns around, is shocked to see him, and starts crying and beating him on the chest. And he just looks adorably confused.
