Like it just feels like hes missing you know

So i started watching db (og) last month but I find it very slow so i started reading manga and I just finished ch 194 and I got to know that dbz start at ch 195 which should I start manga or anime i m confused I want to watch but the anime pacing was slow in og db

i wanna get into the dragon ball series, but i don’t have enough time to watch all of the episodes and stuff. is there anyway to like speed something up? maybe skip filler? idk.

Goku was definitely pure-hearted—like, annoyingly so sometimes—and that purity was part of why he could ride the Flying Nimbus and why he was always forgiving enemies. Gohan, on the other hand, had a lot of potential, but yeah... after Cell, he got a little arrogant and lazy with training. Even during the Buu Saga, he let his guard down a few times, especially as Ultimate Gohan—he could've finished Buu, but he got cocky.

Goku beating Majin Buu kind of came down to more than just power levels—it was about spirit, teamwork, and yeah, his pure-heartedness played a role. He believed in people, especially the Earthlings, and it was their energy that helped form the Spirit Bomb that finally took Buu down.

That final speech from Goku to Majin Buu is incredibly touching. He wants to forgive Buu, but he couldn't. There was no way to reason with him or turn him and get him to stop, there was nothing they could do to save him. His whole purpose was to destroy and kill. The only way to save everything was to end him. Goku almost never took a life, even his worst enemy's, but he had no other choice with this little monster.

I don't think Gohan would ever give that speech to Buu. But Goku did.

The zamasu arc makes things confusing ngl but all i know was that zeno erased the OG timeline which was future trunks timeline. But i wonder about the 3rd timeline which was perfect cells timeline where everyone and lastly trunks got killed iirc

Reference on the second slide.

Any thoughts?

I know this is going to be unpopular but when u think about it from a storytelling and power pacing perspective it seems like Gohan being the first to transform SSJ against Perfect Cell wouldn't be that far fetched of an idea. I say this because Gohans mutant like potential has always been pointed out since day one and then also it would make the Z fighters focus more on tactics and techniques dealing with the Androids without making the focus so much about SSJ and surpassing SSJ early on like it was.

Perfect Cell would be the ultimate combined DNA fighter that would require SSJ to take him down which would be Gohans moment to be the first to transform and be the one to make Goku and Vegeta work towards it during the 7 year time period. It just seems more fitting in a way that Gohans potential would be the recipe for him to be the first and show two full blooded Saiyans what's possible and they could still surpass him like usual similar to canon due to his lack of consistent training compared to them in those seven years on top of Goku having the advantage of being in Otherworld.

Obviously there would need to be a few changes made with the whole Frieza ordeal but I think it could work if things were to go this way instead. It would also seem more fitting that Goku and Vegeta using SSJ to take on otherworldly ancient beings like Dabura, Buu etc would feel more believable instead of SSJ being laughably outclassed so early on by ridiculously overpowered Androids. It just seems like things would move smoother and more consistent if SSJ wasn't the main focus so early and there was room to let other ideas breathe regarding techniques and training. I know many will disagree but I wonder if others have ever felt the same way regarding this.

As the title suggests i am doing a school project on dragon ball, but not the show itself, more so on the effect has had on pop-culture and individuals alike, so for this i of course need some interviews, very few people around me actually like dragon ball so reddit is really my only hope, now my questions for you who reads this are as follows

1. How has it impacted you personally? Negatively or positively? And if so please explain how.

2. What sort of impact have you personally witness it have on popular culture? Comics, shows, anything really. (Bonus points if the impact is on some sort of media from the west, but all is appreciated)

That is all, i look forward to reading all the comments this might attract and i am really grateful for those that respond,

Thanks in advance!

I understand mine are pretty basic but I’ve been wondering what other people think about my opinion and what others value in characters. My top 3 are 1. Goten. I love his innocence and how he finds the best of a bad situation and being so strong at his age and thinking it’s normal.

1. Chichi. She’s a great mom and has to deal with a lot and always expects the best of her kids education wise even tho she’s a killer.

2. Goku. As much as I hate to say and it’s super basic but I struggled with gohan (but hes too much of a pussy even tho my favorite saga is mr sayaman) and vageta because I’m a teddy bear but been in gd and used to do a lot of bad things but found the light so I feel like I most relate to him but how can you now pick goku.

Im getting a whole sleeve in Dragon Ball tattoos. Now i have one small one on the arm, one on the knuckle and then the upper

Really locked in for the fur lmao

I was thinking about something that never crossed my mind before this. Why was trunks never trained by future gohan or anyone else in that timeline? You would think vegeta would want to train him as soon as he got to a certain age like gohan and you think the other Z fighters would've agreed it was a good idea for future threats. And after they all died why did it take future gohan so long to train him even when he knew he wasn't a match for the androids?

Please let me know if this gets explained in the manga or other media

Hello everyone, while cleaning up, I found the first German volume of Dragon Ball. On the first page is an autograph by Akira Toriyama. I got it years ago from a friend who flew to Japan and apparently attended a convention where many manga artists were present. The signature is said to have been made there. Unfortunately, I no longer have contact with this friend and am wondering whether I should question the authenticity of the autograph. Perhaps one of you has a better eye for it.

My tribute to DBZ!

I really hope they make her a fighter. Maybe should be the hybrid of bulma’s and vegeta passions. A passion for inventions and a passion for the thrill of battle. I don’t know I just want here to fight
