The clip comes from Dragon Ball Z, where Goku first turns Super Saiyan during his battle with Frieza on Planet Namek after Krillin's death pushes him past his breaking point. That moment became one of anime's most famous power-ups, and fans have clipped the scream ever since for edits on YouTube, TikTok and other short-video platforms. It still works because the yell is instantly recognisable to anime fans and signals a dramatic turning point without needing any dialogue or explanation.
About this sound
Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation scream from Dragon Ball Z, a raw anime power-up yell used in edits, memes and reaction videos for hype moments.
This is Goku's scream as he first becomes a Super Saiyan, a long, strained yell that builds from a guttural growl into a full-throated roar as his power surges. You can hear the effort in his voice, the rising pitch, the ragged breathing and the energy crackling underneath, all packed into about eighteen seconds of pure anime intensity. It captures the exact moment a familiar hero breaks through his limits, which is why it hits so hard in an edit: it turns an ordinary clip into a dramatic power-up, making the viewer feel the tension release and the sudden surge of strength alongside him.
