How To Watch All Dragon Ball Series In Order
Okay, so you wanna dive headfirst into the wild world of Dragon Ball? Awesome! Buckle up, buttercup, because it's a journey.
Trust me, figuring out where to start can feel like trying to learn the Kamehameha on your first try. Good luck!
The "Official" Order (Whatever That Means)
Most people will tell you to start with the original Dragon Ball. Makes sense, right? Beginnings and stuff.
Must Read
Then comes Dragon Ball Z, the one with all the screaming and powering up that lasts for, like, six episodes. Gotta love it.
After that, it's supposedly Dragon Ball GT. This is where things get...controversial. More on that later.
Finally, you have Dragon Ball Super, which tries to retcon GT out of existence. Think of it as the cool older sibling coming back to tidy up a bit.
But Wait, There's More! (Movies and Specials)
Oh yeah, the movies! Throw those in wherever you feel like it, honestly.
Some are canon, some aren't. Does it really matter? Just watch them explode stuff.
There are also a bunch of specials floating around. Treat them like bonus content. Extra sugar on your Super Saiyan sundae.
My (Slightly Unhinged) Viewing Order Suggestion
Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. But hear me out!
Start with Dragon Ball, obviously. Can't skip the OG.
Then skip GT entirely. Yep, I said it. Just... pretend it never happened. Your mileage may vary!
Next, dive straight into Dragon Ball Z Kai. Why Kai? Because it's the remastered version without all the filler episodes.
Look, I love me some extended power-up sequences as much as the next guy. But sometimes, ain't nobody got time for that.
Finish up with Dragon Ball Super. This way, you get a mostly consistent story without the weirdness of GT. (Sorry, GT fans!)
Why Skip GT? (Prepare for My Hot Take)
Okay, okay, I'll explain myself. I’m not a hater, just...disappointed.
Look, Dragon Ball GT had some interesting ideas, like Super Saiyan 4. But the execution? Ehhh...
The power scaling goes bonkers. The characters act... strangely. Baby is a decent villain but a weird concept.
Basically, it feels like a fanfic written by someone who only vaguely remembers what Dragon Ball Z was about.
I said what I said! Feel free to @ me.
Ultimately, It's Up To You!
The most important thing is to have fun. Don't get too hung up on the "correct" order.
Watch it with friends, make fun of the questionable hairstyles, and yell "Kamehameha!" at your TV. That's the Dragon Ball experience.
So, go forth and enjoy the ride! Just try not to destroy the planet while you're at it.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I'm gonna go train so I can unlock Ultra Instinct. Wish me luck!
