Goku's fight with Freeza contained a lot of angry staring scenes and this is one of the better animated ones. Besides looking at someone as if he had just caught them pissing in his morning cereal, English dubbed Goku is also very good in making rather lame statements.

"Your evil deeds are like a noose around your neck".

I mean, seriously? Who says that kind of stuff? And during a fight even.

Strangely, the Japanese dialogue in this case isn't much better, with their forgiveness cliches. 

But who dwindles on corny dialogue, when you can eye-gasm. 

I mean, would you please just look at this beauty?

This gorgeously pissed off Goku of course comes from the loooong fight against Freeza.

I love Namek saga SSJ Goku, there's just something very epic about the colour combination of his hair against the alien green of the Namek sky, probably because it's the first time ever Goku's fighting as a Super Saiyan. I dunno, I'm rambling. 

For me, the fun part about identifying DBZ cels is that each saga has it own distinctive animation style which narrows the search down considerably. 

Namek saga SSJ Goku's are instantly recognizable. The tricky part though is finding your cel  amongst the  11 or so episodes it takes SSJ Goku to finish Frieza off.  

Luckily Goku's clothes always provide helpful insight. The further into the fight Goku gets, the less remains of his outfit. This scene takes place not long after his first ever Super Saiyan transformation. Goku expresses his disgust about Freeza killing so many people. 

Fun fact: The Namek SSJ Goku cel I used to own before I sold it comes from a cut seconds after this one, when Goku effortlessly blasts Freeza off his feet, claws, whatevers without breaking a sweat. Love it. 

Special thanks to Steven70500 and my best friend Bart, without whom I would not have been able to add this gorgeous cel to my humble collection.
