@Emeralda_Chaos @JordanLDurham People will accept and justify anything just to have Dragon Ball go on forever. The truth is that Super is far too removed from the same narrative cycle to be considered part of the same thing. 20 years, in fact.
English

@JordanLDurham What development? He just changes off screen. Also, maybe people wouldn't separate Z from Super if Super was at all consistent character wise but nope. We have Vegeta's character growth gone and Goku isn't even Goku anymore. Super Goku is a danger to himself and others.
English

This is why giving the series different titles was a horrible idea because now instead appreciating a character’s development we debate which version is better behind an invisible wall.

I think there's no debate about this.

@JordanLDurham Different titles? Dude, the original work already ended 30 years ago and for a good reason. Toriyama thought the characters had nowhere else to go and it shows. DB stopped being a story a long time ago, it's just a product now. The show must go on because Toei and Bandai need it.
English

@Cheesymanfredo Also, Marvel and DC have NOTHING to learn from this. Why would you end Batman and Superman forever? What would be gained from that? These characters do have endings within particular narrative cycles. But they're mythical, they don't work like the rest of fiction.
English

@Cheesymanfredo Innovative? There were MANY comic books that had an ending before Invincible.
English

@GexraldH @Cheesymanfredo I don't care about the cómics vs manga thing, I love them both and comic book haters are stupid, but I can't believe people say Dragon Ball doesn't have an ending. It's a franchise now but as a story it's done.
English

@GexraldH @Cheesymanfredo As an author work, Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball did end in 1995. He never wrote anything past Goku flying off with Uub and now he never will. It's a complete work. Kenshin ended, the current manga is a sequel that will eventually end, and will One Piece.
English

@DB_official_en VS Boo because it was the one that actually defeated an opponent. Plus it has everyone coming together for the big finale and Goku's wish for Boo too reborn as a good guy.

@dipperpines86 @Roybattyforever Cada uno tiene derecho a hablar de lo que quiera en su arte. Después que a uno no le guste es otro cantar. A mí ciertamente no.

@Roybattyforever No hacerla un manifiesto socialista/comunista era una buena manera de no cagarla.

Me alucina que “Una batalla tras otra” haya pasado de ser la gran esperanza del cine actual a la peor basura del 2025.
¿Qué ha pasado entre un momento y el otro?
Que ha empezado a ganar premios.
No hay nada como el reconocimiento para que salgan trolls como setas.

@EmperorBigD @seedofmight My dear friend. If you were to post this exquisite part of the battle, why did you feel the urge to cut the best part which is when Goku starts to power up and screams SANBAIII KAIOKEENNNNAAAAAAAA KAMEHAMEHADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
English

HERE IT IS! With its PROPER Colors! Goku's Kamehameha vs Vegeta's Galic Gun, the first massive beam struggle of the Z era from DBZ #031 WITH its proper colors (@seedofmight) and Neo-Raws 1080p Upscale to HD + Broadcast Audio. Prestine.
English

@EmperorBigD @seedofmight This is legitimately one of the greatest moments in DB history. Goku pushed to his absolute limit and beyond. I have many grips with the anime adaptation but this moment was done spectacularly.
English

@_SirAntMan_ @zhengyingli @Champizard14 This is precisely of your viewing order. You lacked the escalation.
English

Gokus struggle and growth to become a martial artist
How he met chi chi that lead to Gohan being born
The murder of Krillin and the birth of Demon King Piccolo and what caused their issues
How Goku became friends with Yamcha, Tien, and Chaiotzu that makes their saiyan saga deaths carry more weight when he arrives
Why Piccolos character arc with Gohan is so compelling because you saw how evil he was
Gokus history with the red ribbon army that connects to Future Trunks arrival
The amazing fights Goku has with Roshi, Tien, and Piccolo has he struggles to become the Martial arts champion
The early history of the Dragon Balls, their rules, and what they are
Gokus friendship with Bulma and why its so important
Goku training and bonding with Krillin
Him learning the Kamehameha
Literally everything that makes Goku who he is In the saiyan saga is what you miss
And plenty more i didn't even touch on
Aizakku Analysis@AnalysisAizakku
@Champizard14 In what regard? Naruto was very narrative focused from the beginning, while early dragon ball just wasn't. You can completely skip it and use context clues to understand what's going on in Z. (As many kids did) What won't you see? How Goku met Oolong?

@Aarsenyas @Champizard14 To be fair, Vegeta and Nappa arriving on Earth happened because of the Dragon Balls, and the Namek arc entirely revolves around them.
English

@Champizard14 You miss one huge plot point of the og Dragonball; on why the series called Dragon Ball.
It's in the og series the Dragon Balls was the thing that makes the story moves (with Goku and Bulma looking for them) instead an easy escape to solve problems like in the DBZ
English

@irxson @Aarsenyas @Champizard14 This is something that starts to be a problem after Namek, when both sets of Dragon Balls had already been discovered. Before that, the story was great at keeping tensión and stakes. They had to fight their way to revive their friends. Toriyama didn't want to make a sad story.
English

@Aarsenyas @Champizard14 This is one of the complaints I have with saying saga onward... dragon balls being able to just revive everyone and anyone was too much deus ex machina and death lost a lot of its narrative weight. They should have left the one unique wish rule.
English

@_SirAntMan_ @Champizard14 I mean when Z starts, characters can already blow planets. It's more fun to know how they got there.
English

@_SirAntMan_ @Champizard14 When Goku starts Z he is already pretty accomplished as a martial artit, he had already trained with the god of Earth.
That is skipping brutal progression. You just lack the sense of scale because you started with Z.
English

@_SirAntMan_ @ItsKaSyl Their importance as friends is literally the whole reason they go to Namek.
