The kids have entered the digital world and are close to the Phoenix Sovereign's palace. They've gone through a lot together. They've grown as people, overcome obstacles internal and external, they're nearly ready to save the world. Then Beelzemon shows up - the little annoying Impmon who got sick of being useless and pretty much sold his soul to darkness in return for a Mega digivolution. And everything goes to Hell. [spoiler]He kills Leomon brutally with a hand through the chest, watching as he slowly disintegrates, putting his trainer in a state of trauma she doesn't leave until the season ends, and then Guilmon digivolves into something utterly hideous to stop him - but at what cost?[/spoiler] That whole multi-episode scene is probably the high point of the high series of a cartoon I rank very highly.DragonBall Z:Goku's first transformation to Super Saiyan. I knew it was coming, and I've watched it several times, but when Krillin dies, Goku starts shaking, the lightning starts coming out of the clouds... it sends a shiver down my spine.And the Japanese version of Gohan's first transformation to Super 2. Fighting Cell, Gohan's been holding back, because he doesn't really like fighting (despite being a walking nuclear arsenal, and despite Cell's spawn doing their best to kill everyone he's ever loved at that moment). Then Android 16 jumps Cell, intending to self-destruct and take the monster with him - but because the good guys didn't trust him, they'd removed his explosives and never told him, so Cell smacks him to pieces. Gohan looks on in horror as the android's head thuds to the ground, still alive. "Gohan," he says, "l-look after the birds I love so much." And Cell laughs, crushing 16 beneath his foot. Umei No Hi kicks in, Gohan stares for a moment, the image of a bird flies away on the screen, and he explodes with one of those screams in a pillar of golden fire while the ground around him buckles. Cell looks worried for the first time. Episode ends with Gohan spitting lightning, staring...The next fight is pretty cool, too. The whole thing is really well-done.</blockquote>
