Hi I need to place a Vegeta cel

Hello all Shadowcat here and I know absolutly just enough to make my computer crash LOL. Well since I don't know how to post a pic. You will have to go to my gallery to see the cel. I have a Vegeta cel and I think he is doing the Garlic gun attack but I am not sure where in the series it comes from. Please help. Here is the link

Howdy Shadowcat,

I believe your shot takes place during the Saiyan Saga at the relative beginning of the Goku vs. Veggy battle, but I don't think it's his signature Galic Gun attack. Specifically, it looks like in your shot Vegeta is actually revealing to Goku he can simulate full moon light and is creating the light source before throwing it into the sky.

I'm not positive about this ID, but I do have a Real Media audio clip of when I believe your shot takes place:

This may be overthinking it though and maybe he's just gearing up to throw a "fire ball" attack. (I could have sworn Veggy was fairly bloody by the time he reveals to Kakarot his ability to simulate the full moon) BUT, I can say with almost total confidence it takes place during the Saiyan Saga basically due to the character design and the fact Veggy loses the shoulder "wings" on his armor during the Freeza Saga.*

Hope this helped!

*EDIT: Ok, I checked and he doesn't actually lose the shoulder "wings" on his armor until half way through the Freeza Saga. So, I may be totally off and have probably been no help whatsoever. :( Sorry!

Ok, I know this is completely lame considering it's been 7 months since this was posted, BUT! I found where this cel is located. (Call me anything you like as long as the word persistent is used as an adjective in front of it ;)

Believe it or not, I was actually close in the first post. I happened to rewatch this episode the other night and jumped up pointing, "That's it!" when I saw your cel. It does take place during the Saiyan saga in the episode "Goku vs. Vegeta: A Saiyan Duel" but it's actually just after Vegeta has thrown two fireball shots that are barely dodged by Goku. Vegeta stands with his hand in the air for a moment and the fireball dissipates (your cel) before he says, "Not bad."

ANYWHO, I know I'm crazy, but I just thought I'd share on the off chance you were still interested in an ID. :)

All the best,
Megan
