Planning on watching/rewatching

Technically I’ve watched Dragon ball just not 100% I’ve watched most of it and played the video games as well as movies. I’ve just never completed the anime in it’s entirety. I’m planning on watching everything now. I’m just wondering a few things. Is Dragon Ball worth watching? And should I watch Kai or Z? I’m not a big fan of filler and tend to skip them on Bleach or Naruto. Also on Super they redo the Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F, is the show version or movie version better?

World Martial Arts Tournament

I'm watching og Dragon Ball for the first time. Only saw Z as a kid. And Goku should've lost hos first World Martial Arts Tournament. He would have if the ref had counted when he was supposed to.

Which Dragon Ball villain has the most similar “signs” to the Biblical End Times and Antichrist?

My guess would be maybe Cell since that one old guy seemed to think so before Cell blew up the town.

Kai or z

Do you guys prefer dragon ball z kai or dragon ball z? Me personally I feel like kai is too fast paced I feel like z is perfect despite it being somewhat long

Would the Z-Sword have been effective in combat at all?

Just the title. Lets say Gohan got his Ultimate form while not destroying the sword, would it have been any use? Not just vs Buu, but in general even (in both GT and Super's timelines)

It immediately broke against what was proclaimed the hardest element in the universe (iirc, please correct me if not), but, Buu isn't made of that, nor is anyone else.

Was the sword actually a powerful weapon with the Kai inside? Was it truly special?

Let's make a list of Silly Power Level scaling!

Vegeta with 1800 PL can blow up the Earth. You'd need roughly 53 Zeta Tons of Tnt to do so. (53e24)

Farmer with a Shotgun has a PL of 5.

Vegeta (Saiyan Saga) ÷ Farmer = 360

Farmer = 1.47e22 Tons of TNT.

This farmer makes the entire planet's nuclear arsenal look like a sparkler.

What other power level silliness logic do you all have?

Missing the whole show, should I restart?

So I’ve started watching Dragon Ball Z Dub on Hulu for like a month ago. I’m at the Majin Buu saga now. Now I realize that there’s a difference between normal Z and Z Kai. At first I thought it was fine because I’m still following the story without the filler. But now I feel like I’m missing so much more without it. Should I restart? I like the Kai voice actors and was wondering if there’s a version of the full show with them that I can watch? Let me know plz.

Raditz vs Cell

How much more powerful would you say Cell is over Raditz?

The best I can come for it Gravity/Weight Training. For example, Goku:

Just after dying to Raditz on Ming Kai's planet, he struggles with 10x gravity. At 62kg that's 620kg.

After dying to Cell, he struggles with 10 ton weights on each limb, for a total of 40. Assuming metric tons, that's 80,000 kg. Divided by 62, that's 1290 Earth's Gravity.

Soooo I suspect Cell is roughly 129 times more powerful than Raditz. This is all assuming that Ki Power scales directly Physical Strength, which is a fair assumption to make IMHO.

But what thoughts do you have on this?

Why did Krillin think 17 didn’t like him before the tournament of power started

literally the last time they saw each other the conversation was completely civil and 17 was talking to him in a friendly way so what gives? lol that was the first and last time krillin really talked to him too since he got absorbed by cell.

Does the writing in super change?

Hey all, I mean this in no disrespectful way but does the writing improve in super?

Currently watching it on HULU and it just feels weird? Originally a fan of dragon ball and dragon ball z giving this series a shot.

I’m on episode 9 hoping it will click but so far not sure if this is for me?

If Evil Buu was as powerful as Kid Buu would he be equally as dangerous?

Evil Buu is the physical manifestation of Majin Buus anger/fury, in a way one could say that he is more evil than Kid Buu since he is more of a concept given form rather than Kid Buu just being a mindless destroyer. But if Evil Buu had his strength would he be just as much of a threat to the universe?

I'm making a battle power list.

I'm gonna be making a battle power list (not making it public btw), but I'm didn't know where to start. Do you think I should start with the first 194 chapters of the manga, or should I skip to Chapter 195 (or Z Chapter 001) and on wards.

Do you guys think there's a chance dbs being rebooted?

Like everyone knows dbs had a rough start, and i dont see a really character development for likes of goku ( i really hate he forgot pan) and for previous experiences people are really mean with dbs, if a bigger mistake is made do you guys think dbs would be rebooted? Like dbgt? (dont get me wrong, i really like what dbs introduce, multiverse, bills and whis, ui and ue, the new broly and etc, but toyotaro and toei make so many mistakes for the series, but i would prefer a remake of the anime and manga fixing the errors)

If Goku & Vegeta and Goku Black & Zamasu never fused, who would eventually win?

If Goku Black & Zamasu never fused into Fused Zamasu and Goku & Vegeta never fused into Vegito, who would eventually have won in that fight? Would Goku & Vegeta find someway to kill them or would Goku Black & Zamasu eventually overpower them and kill them? Or would they just still call up Zeno?

“New” to Dragon ball. Where to start and what to watch? [more info in post]

When I was about 7-8 years old my mom bought me the movie: Cooler’s revenge.

That’s where I first learned of the existence of Dbz. But I didn’t really start watching it after that because well, we didn’t really have internet yet and I didn’t know where to look for the VHS tapes.

So I stuck to watching Pokémon etc and playing the occasional DB games I came across.

Until years later I found out that I could watch anime online. Including Dragon ball! But there were already soooo many episodes that I just gave up.

Skip to now. Now I actually want to start watching. But I don’t know where to start. I don’t know what I actually should watch or what I should skip.

So my questions are: where do I start? Is there a season I can skip? Etc

Wasn't it out of character for Vegeta to accept the mark of the Majin for more power?

I humbly submit my shower thought to the community. My knowledge is capped at really liking DB, I don't posses enthusiast-levels of knowledge unfortunately. I did try to search for this topic on this sub, but there's so much content here, I couldn't find an discussion in a reasonable amount of time.

To the point, since Vegeta is this super-proud personality, I thought it was weird he just took a leg up from someone else, just so he could gain more power. He's usually more about the blood and sweat that results in power gained. I mean he's reluctant to accept Senzu Beans.

I've considered maybe he got Jedi mind-tricked, but later when he's supposed to be fully indoctrinated he can just free-will his own goals? And then sacrifice himself? How does all this fit together?

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I cornered myself in my own head and need to break free.

Thank you

Gohan Black Vs Gohan Beast

For those that don’t know, Gohan Black is a “what if” character. I’m not a hundred percent sure if there is a reference in the dragon ball games. The character stems from the future timeline future Trunks is from. But in this timeline, Trunks was killed by the androids and not Gohan.

To continue the theory, Gohan instantly goes SS2 upon Trunk’s death and takes out the androids himself. The rest of the story then continues with Zamasu convincing future Gohan to help him and that humanity is the problem and needs to be destroyed and rebuilt (similar to Thanos for reference). Zamasu helps Future Gohan go back in time to kill off the split timeline where our Gohan is from.

So, back to my original question, do you think Gohan Black could kill off Gohan Beast?

If Saiyans can destroy planets but can't breathe in space, how do they survive after destroying a planet they're on?

Example, Vegeta blowing up the bug planet. Wouldn't he and Nappa have then been in the vacuum of space where they couldn't breathe?

Question about kamehameha and androids.

Not sure if this has been asked before. If most androids have unlimited ki and the ki is used for the kamehameha, doesn't that mean that androids can make an infinitely big kamehameha?
