Amazing. How do you do it Kakarot? You’ve always been like this, ever since the day I first met you, always ready to meet the next challenge, even if it’s bigger than you are.
It was the same on Namek. You improved so much that it would make Recoome look like he were standing still. Your power had increased so dramatically since our battle on Earth that I thought you’ve done it. I thought…you have become a Super-Saiyan. It tore me apart. How could a low-class soldier accomplish so easily what I… I had struggle my whole life to achieve? After 3 millennia, it finally happened; A new Super-Saiyan has emerged, and somehow, I have become his witness.
Then at last it happened. I too transformed. After living every moment of every day for the single purpose of surpassing you, I finally became a Super-Saiyan myself. The prince has reclaimed his throne and fulfilled his destiny. But no matter how strong I became, your power still exceeded mine.
At first I thought it was your loved ones, than it was your instinct to protect them that inspired you on and pushed you beyond your limits. But then I found myself with a family of my own, and my power… didn’t increase at all. I used to fight for the shear of pleasure, for the thrill of the hunt, all I thought was strength mattered, I spared no one. And yet you showed mercy to every one, even your fiercest enemies, even me…
Yet you never thought of killing, nor of revenge. Only to test your limits, and to push us beyond them, to become the strongest you could possibly be. How can a Saiyan fight like that, and at the same time be so gentle that he wouldn’t hurt a fly? It makes me angry just thinking about it. But perhaps it is my anger that has made me blind to the truth for so long. I see it now, this day has made it all too clear. You’re better than me, Kakarot. You are the best…

hi again

I agree with ‘bp’. Moving.
For me, that monologue was the ultimate moment in the whole of Dragon Ball Z.
