Favoruite "I can't win, but I'll try anyway" scene

Yeah, I couldn't think of the word for such a scene. Basically a time in which a character tries to fight an opponent they know they can't win, it doesn't have to be completely pointless (Piccolo fighting Freeza to stall for time while Goku charges his Genki Dama, or Krillin distracting Freeza from killing Gohan).

Mine would probably be Vegeta vs Kid Boo, both times. They both have different qualities that I love, the first time Vegeta is already dead, so it's one of the few (or the only?) time a character ever risks completely losing his soul, and he knows he can't beat Boo, he's only doing it so Goku can get his energy back. It loses some effectiveness since Vegeta is surprised at how strong Boo was, implying that maybe he never expected to be beaten so badly at all. The second time he tries, he's still lost so much energy from before that he now fights in base. And now he already knows how strong Boo is. While he has his life back, so dying isn't quite as consequential, it takes mad guts to get back into a beating while your body is recovering from the last one, and without even being able to transform.

An honourable mention goes to Piccolo who was about to fight Cell to try and save Gohan. It's one of those times where Piccolo acts more like a father figure to Gohan than Goku, and I just have a lot of respect for him, knowing that he'll likely be killed if he tries anything, but him preferring that to sitting back and watching the first friend he ever had die.

Note that it does not count if the character thinks they will do something, so Vegeta blasting Cell after Trunks death, while awesome, doesn't count since Vegeta thought he would actually hurt/kill Cell there

I've always respected krillin for how he distracted frieza so well. If vegeta wasn't so selfish and he was actually paying attention he could've landed the really good blow krillin had set up for him

He blasted Freeza in the back while he was offguard. Didn't help him what so ever.

Anyway, as for the topic, debatably Gohan pulling out one last Kamehameha against Cell. I say it fits, because he didn't think he could win at the time, but still. This applies more so to the anime version though.

Hercule running across the field to toss 16 to Gohan and fighting Kid Boo also count

Probably when Goku knew he couldn't defeat Frieza but he tried anyways.

Hence the Kaio-Kenx20

Super Saiyan among Super Saiyans

Vegeta against Kid Buu was my favorite, so I'll comment on my 2nd favorite: Tien against Semi-Perfect Cell.

After seeing #16 fall, Tien knows that no one on that battlefield stands a chance against Cell. He also knows that if Android 18 is absorbed that their last chances of hope are extinguished permanently.

With this in mind, he goes to confront Cell anyway, knowing that he'll probably die either by Cell's hand or his own attack.
We Super Saiyans are in a league of our own.

Krillin attacking Evil Boo on the Lookout was precious.

Goku against King Piccolo. He'll defeat Piccolo by one hand.

Krillin vs Cell (2nd form and Perfect)

Anything else involving Krillin works too.

If we're counting filler, then Krillin against Imperfect Cell. Putting his life on the line to save two innocent people is just one of the many great things that Krillin has done, it was amazing.

Krillin trying to fight Kid Boo in filler is funny compared to Yamcha's tactics (Telling Boo to "stop it")

Tien against Semi-Cell and Buutenks were pretty badass moments for Tien. He obviously couldn't lay a finger against either of the two but the way he confronted the two was epic.

Hey, in the anime he only lost hope after Boo created his planet destroyer, so obviously he thought he could manage something before that.

Tenshinhan (ANIME) > Krillin

Krillin against Imperfect Cell, at the airport. That was a good one. He was really a hero saving that girl.

Tien against Cell and Goku using the 20x Kaioken are my favorites. But Piccolo vs. Imperfect Cell (post absorbtion) and Krillin vs. most everyone (especially the filler of him against imperfect Cell)
