8. Dragonball Z: Gohan goes Super Saiyan 2!

Oh, don’t get me started! This is a historic moment for any anime watcher. This Tearjerker Anime moment happens in Dragon Ball Z, during the Cell Saga. As Gohan is forced into a corner, he helplessly watches Cell’s “mini-me’s” attack his friends and family! In fear of his overwhelming power hidden within he holds back his anger. The peace-loving decapitated head of Android 16 conveys to Gohan that it was OK to be angry for the right reason, to defend good against evil.

Cell being amused by the conversation uses the opportunity to crush the head. Gohan sees red and finally the late Android 16’s words sink in — Gohan releases his next level of hidden potential. The Japanese version of this moment was a tearjerker with the music’s lyrics “Ore wa ore wo koete kuru” or “I will surpass myself”
