Dragon Ball Super Story Arcs

[uzuni]

As a first time viewer of Dragon Ball Super (currently midway through Champa Saga), I wonder, how do its story arcs rank relative to the rest of the series?

My rankings, sans Super, would be such:

1. TIE: Frieza (Namek, Captain Ginyu, Frieza)/Androids (Garlic Jr., Trunks, Androids, Imperfect Cell, Perfect Cell, Cell Games)
2. Piccolo (Tien Shinhan, King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr.)
3. TIE: Saiyan (Raditz, Vegeta)/Majin Buu (Other World, Great Saiyaman, World Tournament, Babidi, Majin Buu, Fusion, Kid Buu, Peaceful World)
4. TIE: Red Ribbon Army (Red Ribbon, General Blue, Commander Red, Fortuneteller Baba)/Goku's Boyhood (Emperor Pilaf, Tournament)
5. Baby
6. Shadow Dragon
7. TIE: Black Star Dragon Ball, Super 17

I'd put what I've seen so far (BoG and RoF) tied at #6 with the Shadow Dragon Saga.

That said, I didn't think any were bad! I can genuinely say that I enjoyed them all.

I'd like to know how you'd rank them.

Great 9/10:Buu Arc(DBZ),Baby Arc(DBGT),FT Arc(DBS)

Saiyan > Namek > 23rd Budokai > 22nd Budokai > Majin Boo > Androids > Piccolo Daimao > 21st Budokai > Hunt for the Dragon Balls > Red Ribbon Army > Universe 6 Tournament > Goku Black > Battle of Gods > Universe Survival > Resurrection F

Universe 6 is the best arc in Super? None of them are better than any of the original arcs? Damn, you must hate Super. As for me:

1. Namek Arc
2. Cell Arc
3. Tournament of Power
4. Zamasu Arc
5. Piccolo Daimao
6. 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai
7. Saiyan Arc
8. 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai
9. Red Ribbon Army
10. Majin Boo

Dragon Ball Super at its best is still worse than the original series at its worst as far as I’m concerned. Weaker writing, less meaningful character arc, and its themes aren’t nearly as interesting or fleshed out.

I do really love the Battle of Gods film, though. It’s one of my favorite stories in Dragon Ball, but the anime and manga arcs are both pitiful.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say I hate Super sincd there are some aspects I do genuinely like, but it certainly hasn’t been pumping out my favorite content in a post BoG film world.

After completing the Universe 6 arc, my list becomes:

1. TIE: Frieza (Namek, Captain Ginyu, Frieza)/Androids (Garlic Jr., Trunks, Androids, Imperfect Cell, Perfect Cell, Cell Games)
2. Piccolo (Tien Shinhan, King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr.)
3. TIE: Saiyan (Raditz, Vegeta)/Majin Buu (Other World, Great Saiyaman, World Tournament, Babidi, Majin Buu, Fusion, Kid Buu, Peaceful World)
4. TIE: Red Ribbon Army (Red Ribbon, General Blue, Commander Red, Fortuneteller Baba)/Goku's Boyhood (Emperor Pilaf, Tournament)
5. Universe 6
6. Baby
7. TIE: Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Shadow Dragon
8. TIE: Black Star Dragon Ball, Super 17

[Doctor.]

1. Freeza
2. Saiyan
3. 23rd Budokai
4. Majin Boo
5. Red Ribbon
6. 21st Budokai
7. Pilaf

9. Goku Black
10. 22nd Budokai
