    How the hell can you leave out the part where Cell murders an entire city and literally drinks a man alive?
  • Videl getting savagely beaten by Spopovich and Future Gohan’s death were both dark and heartbreaking. 💔💔💔💔💔
  • @BubblyJubbly
    Kinda surprised that Krillin’s death isn’t on here. The fact that he literally blew up in the air and Freiza simply laughed and taunted Goku as it happened was enough to turn Goku Super Saiyan for the first time.
  • @jameshellen2068
    The history of trunks scene with gohan dying with the original English music makes it 100x more dark and brutal
  • @godslayer139
    4:20 The original version of buu splitting actually had mr.satan and bee get shot but they cut it for the international release
  • @genikit5795
    I'm sorry say this, but at 4:14, that info is a bit off. Yes, Majin Buu got furious when Bee the puppy got shot, but the Evil Buu wasn't released since Satan/Hercule jumped in and defeated the hunters, thus calming Buu down. What made the evil self come out is when, later on, Satan got shot and nearly killed by the same hunter.
  • @Sailor11Sedna
    Wanna know how Cell drinks people? He injects them with acid to liquify their insides, and then sucks it all back up.
  • @THANATOS-PRIME
    16’s Death really got to me as a kid since he never came back. (I know technically there was fighter Z.)
  • @cnsayin8847
    This should've been a top 20 list. The ones that were mentioned were definitely dark, but there are so many others that are worth mentioning. At the very least, there should've been some honorable mentions.
  • @TheBlond49
    Garlick Jr's defeat was far from being remotely dark, where is Cell absorbing people all aorund.
  • @jaykoblue172
    Buu’s evil took on physical form after Buu saw Hercule get hurt by the gunman who wasn’t a hunter.
  • @waynegafford1010
    You should have put when Frieza rammed krillin in the chest with his horn and was saying yee hah ride em cowboy while flinging him around
  • @ryanegan4243
    I think this is probably more brutal and hard to watch rather than dark, but the brutal beatdown Goku receives by Piccolo at the end of the 23rd World Tournament I think should've been mentioned here at least. Goku first gets impaled by a mouth beam from Piccolo, then after a short scuffle gets elbowed in the exact spot the beam impaled him, then gets both of his legs shattered from Piccolo landing on them using his knees, THEN gets both of his arms broken from Piccolo shooting a beam at them making Goku completely immobile, all the while Goku is screaming at the top of his lungs in utter pain and agony while all his friends watch in horror. Then to top it all off, Goku was going to get utterly pulverized by a final beam attack from Piccolo if he didn't learn the flying technique at the last possible millisecond
  • If there was one scene that could've been added to this list it's when Vegeta was getting the absolute shit kicked out of him by final form frieza on Namek. That scene was just brutal haha
  • @danknhshinki73
    It's too bad Trunks and the others couldn't save his future from Zamasu. I wish they did.
  • @Cyberpit2000
    Super Buu's Human Extinction Attack? Imperfect Cell? Frieza killing the Namekians? Frieza torturing Vegeta? Frieza killing Krillin? Any of these appearing anywhere?
  • @BooBop1987
    The most darkest moment that I ever seen in Dragonball History is when Frieza has killed all the Saiyans along with the Planet Vegeta. A very dark Dragonball Moment indeed.
