So, death in Dragon Ball Z is somewhat fickle seeing how no one seems to stay dead for very long, kind of like in comic books where no one stays dead. However, even though death is present, most of the characters don't even make you sad or upset because well lets face it, they will be back in a few episodes. The deaths that I am going to be talking about though made everyone cry, not because the character is gone but because of what the character did or what it means in the moment. So here is my list of top 5 deaths and remember this is my opinion and if you do not like it well to bad.
5. Frieza kills Krillen- This one makes the list in the number five spot because not only was it shocking but it also sent Goku over the edge and gave him the power to fight the tyrant and avenge his friends. This shows that the power of friendship goes deep.
4. Piccolo's Sacrifice- If you are like me and you watched Dragon Ball before Dragon Ball Z you know that Piccolo was a bad guy. So seeing him risk his life to save Gohan from absolute death is a shocker. You may not cry, but I know a tear will drip as Piccolo tells Gohan that he did it because Gohan was his only friend.
3. Vegeta Dies on Namek- Vegeta the strong and powerful prince of all Saiyans was killed on Namek. He was constantly saying that he would become the legendary Super Saiyan and that is why Frieza feared the Saiyan race. Frieza, to shut him up, shot him through the chest. Before his death though you watch as Vegeta, a man you never thought you would see cry, tell Goku how he became who he became and with his final words asks, no, begs Goku to avenge himself, his father and the Saiyan race.
2. Goku's Sacrifice- Goku is no stranger to death in Dragon Ball Z but this is probably the one that will tear you up inside. He sees that the Earth stands no chance now that Cell was going to blow himself up. Teleporting himself to save the planet losing his life in the meantime. Now the sad part doesn't really come with Goku dying, its him saying goodbye to all his friends, his son and then telling him to take care of his mom for him. Just the reaction from the other characters will bring a tear to your eye.
1. Vegeta's Atonement- Last but not least we have the most heart wrenching and tear jerking all around feels moment, Vegeta sacrificing himself in hopes to atone for his past sins and take the evil Majin Buu with him. In this scene he tells a young Trunks to take care of his mother and tells him that he has made him proud. The whole thing is just not a side of Vegeta you ever thought you would see and that is why a river ran from my eyes when it happened.
