If you could, would you divide the Dragonball Series more?

If you could, would you divide the Dragonball Series more?

Post by IncompetentOverlord » Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:11 pm

If I could add more divisions to the Dragonball series, I would. To me, it would help if the various story arc groups were presented as seperate because (a) it would get rid of the stupid Z subtitle and (B) it would embrace how disjointed the series feels at times instead of trying to ignore it.

Here are my divisions:

Eps 1-13: Goku's Journey

Eps 14-28: The Strongest Under the Heavens

Eps 29-83: Trials of the Dragon

Eps 84-122: Demon King Chronicle

Eps 123-153: Clash of the Gods

Z Eps 1-107+Bardock Special: Saiyan Battle Story

Z Eps 108-117: The Usurper of Kami

Z Eps 118-194+Trunks Special: The Prophet-Boy's War

Z Eps 195-291: Purest Evil

GT eps 1-40+Goku Jr. Special: The Ultimate Quest

GT eps 41-64: Goku's last battle

So what are yours?

Well for starters I wouldn't use dub episodes.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

To get rid of the "Z" I would simply call the entire thing Dragonball and keep the arcs as they are. Splitting it more just feels very... oldschool FUNi. I like how Kanzentai has it:

- Dragonball Arc
- 21st Budokai Arc
- Red Ribbon Army Arc
- 22nd Budokai Arc
- Piccolo daimao Arc
- 23rd Budokai Arc
- Saiyan Arc
- Freeza Arc
- Artificial Human Arc
- Majin Boo Arc
(they/she)
