Of course, I enjoy the driving episode. I also really enjoy the episode at the end of the Buu arc where everyone's memories of Buu are erased, and he's just around the town, eating ice cream, shopping with Bulma, and stopping robbers. Great stuff, great stuff...

Other favorite filler moments include:
1) Tenshinhan, Kuririn, Yamcha, and Chaozu's training in the past (during the early-Saiyajin arc.)

2) Ginyu trying to train Freeza's henchmen to become Ginyu Force members, hilarious. (during the mid-Freeza arc)

3) Goku's "vision" of Earth being destroyed, while unconscious underwater, before going Kaio-ken 20x. (late Freeza arc.)

4) That whole episode where Vegetto fights Buu before turning SSJ. (Buu arc)

5) Goku and Vegeta inside Buu, having to fight worms, digestion, and "dream copies" of Gohan, Gotenks, and Piccolo. (Buu arc)

Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

I like the giant enemy crab episode. When I was little I felt bad for Blueberry and Raspberry.

My absolute favorite filler eps are the ones when Goku and Vegeta are in Buu's body, and they meet the worms XD
The look and Vegeta's face is priceless!

Filler is very strange. I'd like to know if who writes filler or if, by any chance, Toriyama had extra info that couldn't fit the manga (or he didn't feel like adding). Like the heroes helping in the end of the Cell Games or Goku and Vegeta fighting Buu's thought images... those plots are too good not to be made by Mr. Toriyama.. :shock: Any thoughts.. theories?

Filler episodes are always fun to watch. There would be too many to choose...

First off, this was a BIG necropost. This thread hadn't been touched since December. Please don't bump multi-month old topics like this.


To answer your question, I believe the episodes in question are the ones involving Vegeta's Gravity Room training, and Bulma "nursing him back to health" after he nearly killed himself doing so.

Okay, Kaboom. Since you said "please", I will take your advice.

And that does sound like a good episode. Shame I missed that one.

My favorite Filler episodes are from the "relaxing days" before the Cell Games. I think it's pretty funny to see again ol'friend like Tao Pai Pai. I also love the episode when Gohan met "Lime" when I was younger I wrote a fanfic with a kind of puppy love between them...hihihi.

The driving lesson with Goku and Piccolo is also priceless! :lol:

Oh yeah! And the "final" episode with Bulma's party at the end of Buu Saga is pretty fun too!

I just LOVE when DBZ's characters are impliqued in "everyday life situations"...It's pretty realistic and funny....It's a fresh break between all these everlasting fighting scenes >_<

My favorites were the Driving episode, the Base Vegito episode, all of the Other World tournament episodes, and the one where Gohan fights General Tao.

What's the problem with necro posting?
I didn't see this topic the first time it was around and I'm sure there's lots of people who have joined since then that are interested as well.

Lots of martial arts action and comedy.

It's in the Forum Rules, a'course. (Rule #2.)

chibi_goten made this thread for similar reasons, originally-- he wanted to explore this topic but was aware of the limits on necroposting, so he made a new thread for it instead. The rules actually encourage this course of action as an approved alternative to necroposting.

Since it's been made active again, though . . .
