* Goku's first transformation into a Super Saiyan after Frieza pushes him too far in his cruelty by murdering Krillin in cold blood, with no (known at the time) way to bring him back to life. The {{Irony}} that befalls Frieza ([[NiceJobFixingItVillain because of Frieza, mind you]]) is but one of the reasons why people remember it so fondly. This is, not only THE Signature Scene of the entire saga, not only probably THE Signature Scene of the entire ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, but arguably THE Signature Scene of the entire Battle Shonen genre. The influence this transformation has had in popular culture (sometimes for better, sometimes for worse) is literally impossible to overstate.
