Powering up that Kaio-ken made Goku look completely unstoppable against Nappa
buruburu_blade
I am actually shaking after seeing Vegeta kill Nappa because that was just straight up evil
shirley_fenette
The moment Goku stood on top of Nappa's head while he was trying to attack him showed just how much of a gap there is now and it was such a powerful move
brock
The transition from the fight with Nappa to Vegeta stepping in was perfect, especially with that cold look Vegeta gave him right before he finished him off for good
tracey_sketchit_337
I was actually shocked when Vegeta executed his own partner just for losing a fight and it makes me wonder what he is going to do to Goku if he gets the chance
shinji_ikari_180
Watching Goku completely dominate Nappa after he killed Piccolo and the rest was the most satisfying part of the fight and he could not even touch Goku even when he tried to fly away
sailor_aluminum_seiren_391
The red glow from the Kaio-ken looks amazing and it is impressive how much faster Goku is now compared to when he fought Raditz at the start of the series
otakuking777
I honestly felt bad for Nappa for a moment when he reached out for help, and Vegeta just smirked at him. It really shows how different Vegeta is from any villain we have seen before because he has zero loyalty to his own kind. Goku coming back just in time to save Gohan made me yell at the screen
alvavalva
Goku using the Kaio-ken to catch Nappa before he reached Gohan and Krillin really saved the day and the power jump from his training with King Kai is actually massive
violet_evergarden_168
The way Goku just showed up and broke Nappa's back with that red aura move was so cool after seeing all the others get killed by that big bald monster for so many episodes
tsunderekid
I can't believe Vegeta just destroyed Nappa like that and he was his own teammate for years but he just threw him up in the air and blew him away without a second thought
professor_rowan_331
That red glow on Goku is so intense and it makes him look unstoppable and Nappa got completely outclassed before his own boss decided to take him out for good
clarissa_ss
You really get to see the difference between Goku and the other Saiyans here and he tried to spare Nappa but Vegeta just erased him from existence without even blinking an eye
trunks_traveler_85
Goku just broke Nappa in half with that one move and then Vegeta finished the job and it was a really intense way to end things before the real fight begins
sharp_279
Vegeta is actually terrifying for what he did to Nappa. He just watched his partner get beat up, and then decided to kill him instead of helping him out, which is just straight evil.
c_c_code
That Kaio-ken move looks so cool and it really changed the whole fight and you can tell Goku is on a completely different level now and Nappa never stood a chance once it started
gladion_352
My mind is blown by how fast Goku got after his training with King Kai and he was just standing there and Nappa could not even land a single punch on him
chris_33
Watching Nappa get tossed into the air by his own teammate was the craziest thing ever and you really see how cold Vegeta is when he decides he has no use for someone anymore
chi_chi_champ_94
I cannot believe Vegeta just blew his own friend up like that and Nappa was asking for help but he just got vaporized for being too slow to beat Goku
professor_kukui
The way Goku looks so much stronger now is wild and that red aura is terrifying and Nappa could barely even touch him after all that training with King Kai
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 29 marks the climax of the Saiyan Saga's first major confrontation, with Goku finally engaging Nappa after episodes of his allies fighting—and falling—against overwhelming Saiyan power. Goku's arrival in the previous episode shifted the entire dynamic, and this episode delivers on that momentum by showcasing the results of his King Kai training. This battle serves as the penultimate challenge before the true showdown with Vegeta, escalating the arc toward its ultimate peak.
