Sayian saga > frieza saga >>>> Cell saga > Buu saga

DBZ isn't tranime

Goku is going Super Saiyan. Everything stops bro.

whichever has 18>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>rest

Sayian saga had the best fights, there should have been more group fights in the series. After frieza everything is always 1v1 for some reason

Mexicans love the Buu Saga and fucking GT, so no.

Trannies are a western concept.

30 years ago. They're acting like it was actually happening live irl.

Frieza arc was shit however and Buu was kino

yuyu hakusho>DBZ>DB:GT>DB>whatever the fuck other dragon ball shows there are

Yet most trannies watch tranigay. Curious!

I didn't like the Frieza arc that much in the original version, but watching it in Kai I think it became my favourite. I like all the moving parts with everyone trying to one up each other and getting in each other's way. The Kai saiyan saga sucked though, the filler actually makes everything better, it fleshes out the world and it's characters and adds to the stakes, without it you just don't give a shit about anyone.

Those are some hot bunny girls.

Everyone calls Vegeta a jobber, but he tanked a Spirit Bomb.

that spirit bomb used energy accumulated from a couple of flowers. Frieza and Buu took a real spirit bomb like champs

Everybody tanks a spirit bomb, it was an overhyped disappointment of a technique. Too bad because the idea sounded cool. I don't count Buu later on because it turned into a dumb popularity contest instead of using the energy of all life.

Wow, we're all so impressed. It must be hard being this much of a dipshit

Yeah that's what I love about the early parts of z, you have people like Vegeta that Frieza that take on these huge attacks and they just keep going, even when they can barely stand anymore - it made them seem like these beings far and above the main characters. It's why I kind of hate regeneration as a plot device - cell is meant to be able to curb stomp vegeta, yet vegeta's final flash is about to completely destroy his arm. I know it's autistic complaint but I find it cheapens cell and buu when they can get damaged so easily

Buu was too op though. It made every fight predictable.

we're

So incel weebs?

This gets at why I disliked the Buu arc, him constantly getting destroyed and regenerating removed any impact or tension from the fights. Worse, it was replaced with frustration as people kept somehow getting surprised by him coming back for the 100th time. It would be one thing if they tried and failed to finish him but that only happened like 2% of the time.
It's a shame though because the way Buu fights was cool, he just needed some weaknesses to add some kind of sense of vulnerability.

Jobgeta is one of those memes that ran out of control. It's because Vegeta is so respectable as a fighter that he works as an effective tool to establish how threatening the villain is. There are characters Toriyama treats infinitely worse than Vegeta like Gohan.

the way the writers got around Buu in Super made me realize the people writing for dbz are literal children.

oh he's so fucking strong he can't lose!

let's just say he falls asleep for years cause he's tired

YEAH! WAY TO GO BOSS!

There's a real lack of green and purple in this image.

I've tried twice to get through the Buu Saga and I can't, it's such shit

They are all good, but the otherworld tournament is best. Pikkon vs Goku probably had the most action of any single DBZ episode.

The buu saga is a complete mess but isolated sections of it are kino

majin vegeta vs goku (retroactively fucked up by Goku being able to go ss3)

majin vegetas sacrifice

the early tournament stuff as well as sayiaman

the fat buu friendship with mr satan

the ending with kid buu is legitimately really good imo and gets things back on course after a lot of messy shit in the middle of the story

Did you get filtered by old Kai doing the powerup dance for 20 episodes?

Buu was extremely OP. I don't think Toriyama realized how badly he set himself up when he gave Buu outrageous physical strength that dwarfed everyone else, with more to spare. He's got the ability to mime your special moves and even improve them significantly. He's immune to physical damage, immune to piercing damage, can get blown apart and then just recombine himself. He can transmute you into whatever object he wants. He can heal the blind and heal fatal bullet wounds. He can absorb you and add your power to his own. He can transverse into the world of the dead after he kills you and then kill you again so your soul is destroyed, etc. What the fuck?

What part ISN'T kino?
Gotenks?
Gotenks is always kino.

Based take, but SSJ2 Gohan was still based.

Frieza saga > Saiyan saga > Cell saga > Buu saga.

lmao, but anyone who got filtered by that would already have been gone because of serpent road in the Saiyan saga much less what came after

Gotenks on the other hand was the dumbest shit imaginable

annoying snot nosed kid makes up dumb attacks while failing to accomplish anything for multiple episodes

Buu asspulls a route across dimensions by screaming

god that whole part was so fucking dumb I'd actually forgotten

Driving filler episode > literally everything else

Now do which dub is the best.

Gotenks is a fun gag character but I feel like the way he was used is kind of sloppy. Gotenks being so silly and intentionally drawing out the fight would be less of a mood whiplash if Goten hadn't already seen his mom killed. I think that fight would have worked better if Gotenks been in the time chamber for at least a day or so and didn't know how dire the situation was - and then once he comes out and see's Buu killed his entire family and friends, he goes ss3 and takes it seriously (or something similar)

Dabura got turned into a cookie and eaten in the last one I watched. Idk I might give it one more chance but it's a slog. Tried watching it again because I'd like to check out Super

mood whiplash

Buu saga was full of this stuff, it was really puzzling. I always remember a scene in the manga where Gohan is watching Bibidi and the others going into their space ship near a family's home and the whole family is dead in the front yard. The mother is disemboweled with her intestines hanging out, the husband is dead in some rocks with a shotgun in his hand and their child is a corpse nearby too. Looked really grim for all the silly nonsense just pages ago

It's a comedic cartoon you dumbass, Buu is a gag villain, a fitting end for Dragon Ball, a return to its roots.

OG DB > DBZ

when I was 18 a few years ago I watched all of Dragon Ball, then all of Dragon Ball Z.

Z was such a gigantic downgrade from OG DB in every single way, it just become autistic screeching and stretching fights out over a dozen episodes. It's fucking dogshit, I stopped after the Cell arc because I couldn't take it anymore

Only 10 episodes away from one of the best scenes in the show.

Did you bother to read the post before sperging out? Nothing is wrong with gags and gag characters. Mixing morbid visuals in with it too when you're trying to convey a story not very serious and jokey, comes across awkwardly. Pick a tone and stick with it

it's the tonal inconsistency that's the issue. The pillaf saga doesn't feature women being realistically beaten and the entire human population getting slaughtered. If toriyama wanted to do gag shit he should have kept up with the sayiaman stuff

Toriyama took his first real steps into darker storytelling with Piccolo Daimao, saying that he wanted to try making a truly evil character. You see Roshi, Chiaotzu and Krillin, all get killed and their dead bodies kept around in little pods, waiting to get resurrected by the Dragon Balls. The tone of that saga was fairly consistent, even the ones that followed, like Namek. In Buu though, it felt like Toriyama went to the extreme ends of both sides, trying to intermix wild slapstick with severe grimdark. I think some of that can be blamed on his new editor, who was content to just let Toriyama do what he wanted and didn't curb him much

Gohan turning SSJ2 will never be topped.
