Best DBZ Fights #1
Goku & Gohan vs. Cell
Manga: Chapters 203 - 222, Volumes 18 - 19
Anime: Episodes 177 - 191 (Kai: 88 - 96)
Maybe I'm cheating by including pretty much the entirety of the Cell Games here, but the phases all flow into one another and connect together seamlessly. We have Goku fighting Cell with both of them nearly perfectly matched but Cell proving far more durable, then Goku unexpectedly tagging Gohan in to fight in his place with the prior battle being revealed to have been for Gohan's benefit so that he could observe how Cell fought, then the reversal where Cell gets the upper hand and unleashes Cell Jr.s to pummel all of Gohan's friends which leads to Android 16's heart-wrenching sacrifice, then Gohan destroying all of the Cell Jrs. and utterly curb-stomping Cell, then Cell becoming Semi-Perfect once more only to attempt a kamikaze attack that would take Earth with him leading to Goku sacrificing his life for a second time to prevent this, and then Cell coming back from his seeming demise as Super Perfect Cell who has enough power to destroy the universe, culminating in the iconic Kamehameha vs. Kamehameha beam struggle where Gohan performs the move with just one arm while Goku's spirit lends his assistance. It's just incredible action, from start to finish.

The scene in Dragonball Super when Goku reenacts the last time he saw his Grandpa was a scene that took me by surprise when I recognised what it was he was doing.
Just goes to show how much love and attention to detail Toei Animation put into the series.
Dragonball is so well loved, even 40+ years later, and I'm sure it'll continue to be for many more generations.
