This legendary scene originates from the 'Dragon Ball Z' episode titled 'Transformed at Last,' which first aired in 1991. The clip features Goku (voiced by Sean Schemmel in the Funimation dub) reaching a breaking point after the villain Frieza ruthlessly kills his best friend, Krillin. Driven by pure rage, Goku undergoes a world-shaking transformation, his hair flashing gold as he becomes the legendary Super Saiyan for the first time. In internet culture, this clip is the gold standard for representing 'clutching up' or reaching a state of peak focus and power. It is commonly used to depict situations where someone finally 'locks in,' experiences a sudden burst of motivation, or reacts with explosive energy to a minor inconvenience. Example captions include: 'When the pre-workout finally kicks in at the gym' and 'Me after my third espresso trying to finish a 10-page paper at 4 AM.'
