** Dabura versus Gohan. Gohan had gone rusty, but was still a match for Cell... and Dabura matched him blow for blow, before starting to get the upper hand by ''outsmarting'' his opponent and using his superior skills. Stone spit, magical weapons, materialization, magical illusions, magical flame breath, all of it was fair game. Their struggle over the sword suggested that [=SS2=] Gohan was actually the stronger of the two by a noticeable amount, marking this as one of the times where a weaker fighter won (or at least would have, had the fight not been interrupted).

** Raditz's final act: as he's bleeding out he casually reveals that not only there are two other Saiyan, but that they're ''far stronger than himself'', and they ''will'' come to Earth in a year to settle the score, leaving his killer in terror.

** Goku's original dialog in the Japanese version before his speech is both awesome and a critical impact to Frieza's pride.
-->'''Goku:''' You can destroy whole planets, but it seems you can't even destroy a single man, huh?''

* There is this scene in the fifth movie (The Incredible Mightiest vs. Mightiest) where [[BigBad Cooler]], Frieza's older brother, goes OneWingedAngel and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown completely beats]] the life out of Goku. His power is such that the earth trembles and shatters as he [[EvilGloating boasts]] his strength. Just then, a small bird lands in front of the badly beaten Goku, flaps its wings once and becomes still. With great effort, Goku stands up, holds the bird with between his hands and lets out a mighty scream. Suddenly, the earth stops shaking; we see a pair of hands glow with a golden light before releasing a revitalized bird which flies past Cooler, now staring in horror as Goku has transformed into a Super Saiyan and is ready to give him a much deserved [[CurbStompBattle beatdown]].

** Right before that was Cooler's beatdown of Goku. Even when Goku uses a kaio-ken x20, he's completely unable to hurt Cooler, who proceeds to destroy him with ONE PUNCH. After that, he flies through the Kamehameha as mentioned, and KO's Goku with another punch.

* In the anime version of Goku's rematch against Taopaipai, the assassin gets the idea to go up to Karin's sanctuary and drink some of the "Sacred Water" himself. Karin knows Tao is evil, and so gives him water without a fuss (As it's just rain water). When Tao decides to test whether or not his strength has increased, threatening to kill Upa if it hasn't, Karin uses some super-speed to fool the mercenary; Tao's Dodon Ray couldn't break a pillar in the sanctuary, but Karin's ''could.'' Then, to really twist the knife, Karin gives Tao a ride back down on a black Kinto'un (So he won't get stronger climbing down)...and then drops him!

** Way before that, Android 16 gets one when he enters the fight with Imperfect Cell. Until that point, he didn't do anything but peacefully interact with the local wildlife and frequently get mocked by Android 17 for, as 17 believes, being an ObviousBeta. Yet when Imperfect Cell almost kills Piccolo and just as easily defeats 17, Android 16 steps in... and is able to fight the tens of thousands souls strong Imperfect Cell to a standstill. Badass.
