How To Watch The Dragonball Series In Order
So, you want to dive into the wild world of Dragon Ball? Excellent choice! Get ready for a rollercoaster of martial arts, energy blasts, and hairstyles that defy gravity.
But where do you even start? Don't worry, it's simpler than learning the Kamehameha. This guide will help you navigate Goku's adventures with ease.
The Original Adventure: Dragon Ball
First up, it's Dragon Ball! This is where it all began.
Must Read
Think classic adventure with a touch of silliness. Young Goku, a monkey-tailed boy with incredible strength, meets Bulma, a genius inventor on a quest for the magical Dragon Balls.
Expect talking pigs, pervy old masters, and a whole lot of fighting tournaments. It's charming, funny, and sets the stage for everything that follows.
Level Up: Dragon Ball Z
Next, it's time for Dragon Ball Z. This is where things get...intense. Prepare for transformations, earth-shattering battles, and villains who just won't stay down.
Goku learns about his Saiyan heritage, faces off against intergalactic tyrants like Frieza, and basically becomes the universe's punching bag (in the best way possible).
Warning: Power levels will be mentioned. A lot. Don't worry if you don't understand them; just enjoy the spectacle.
The Not-Quite-Canon Sequel: Dragon Ball GT
Now, things get a little tricky. Dragon Ball GT isn't considered canon by everyone (meaning the original creator, Akira Toriyama, wasn't as involved).
It's... different. Goku turns into a kid again (don't ask), and the animation style is a bit of a departure.
It has its moments, but you can totally skip it if you want and not miss a beat. Some die-hard fans love it, some pretend it doesn't exist. The choice is yours!
The Return to Form: Dragon Ball Super
Finally, we have Dragon Ball Super! This is the official continuation of the Dragon Ball Z storyline.
Expect even more powerful enemies, god-like transformations (Super Saiyan Blue, anyone?), and a multiverse of possibilities.
It's a visual feast and brings back the sense of fun and adventure that made the series so popular in the first place. Plus, Beerus, the God of Destruction, is hilarious.
A Quick Recap: The Order to Watch
So, to recap, here's the recommended viewing order:
- Dragon Ball
- Dragon Ball Z
- (Optional) Dragon Ball GT
- Dragon Ball Super
Remember, each series has movies associated with it. Generally watch them after completing the series.
You can also watch the recut of Dragon Ball Z called Dragon Ball Z Kai. It is shorter, with less filler.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to take breaks! This is a long journey, filled with epic battles and questionable fashion choices. Pace yourself, enjoy the ride, and remember to laugh along the way.
Now go forth and become a Dragon Ball master! And remember, believe in yourself and unleash your inner Saiyan!
