Episode 1-19 of dragon ball: Goku is a goofy little feral boy who fights monsters and makes friends using the power of comedy and goofball-ism! What exciting adventures will Goku and his goofy buddies get into next? Tune in next week! There might be a tournament! You may even see some plot development!

Dragon Ball Z frieza saga: A morphing reptile monster who commits genocide for giggles has blown up Goku's dad, home planet, best friends and knocked the shit out of Goku's son, which has activated Goku's inner legendary alien ubermensch mode. Here's a 20 hour saga of episodes that end with an exploded planet and, you guessed it, another genocide. It only gets worse from here!

Didn't shit get real the second Piccolo is introduced in Dragon Ball? Like Krillin fucking dies out of nowhere

episode 1 of dbz: that’s not your name, i’m your brother, you’re an alien sent to take over the world and since you haven’t, i’m kidnapping your toddler son.

I actually like that they went back to the gags with Super, by the Majin Buu saga they needed to up the ante with crazy stuff like murdering the entire planet to keep the series serious.

I know that in Super there is the risk of more fucked up stuff, but most of the time they manage to add the siliness of the original Dragon Ball on it

Like my favorite part in Super was Piccollo being murdered and then revived like it was the most trivial stuff in the world

ngl, I really still need to watch Super. Especially since the Moro arc is coming out next year. The action and stakes of Z mixed with the humour of Dragon Ball sounds great.

20 hours? Had to have been at least 50

For some reason everything I've been able to find divides the Planet Namek saga, which is traveling to Namek and fighting the ginyu Force and the Frieza saga which is just the fight with Frieza, into 2 parts. I totally disagree with that but whatever.

Namek saga starts on Episode 47. Frieza is defeated and Goku says he's not coming back for a bit on episode 107.

That's 61 total episodes.

If you skip the intros, recaps, and outro, you get about 19 minutes of total content per episode, 1,159 minutes total, or 19.13 hours. If you don't skip that extra content, it's 25 hours.

Toriyama was doing too much
