Own a dramatic piece of Dragon Ball Z history with this A1 key production cel featuring Vegeta in his Oozaru (Great Ape) form — roaring atop a cliff in one of the most powerful flashback sequences from the Cell Saga.
 
This cel appears in Episode 163, during a moment of reflection from Krillin as he watches Trunks surpass even his father, Vegeta, in raw power. The scene cuts to a flashback of Vegeta’s legendary Oozaru transformation — a visual echo of one of the most iconic moments in DBZ. Originally seen in the Saiyan Saga, Vegeta’s use of the Power Ball technique to create a false moon and trigger this form remains a defining display of Saiyan might.
 
Krillin’s line from this scene:
“Wow, these Saiyans are incredible! They just keep growing. Every enemy they face takes them to a new level of power.”
