Why didn't Dragon Ball have a Zombie Arc?

Because no one wants to see this:

Oh god no, no one needs to be turned into a zombie except for the citizens but none of the main cast. I'd just die of laughter if Mr. Satan was bit and thought he was turning into one. (Which he doesn't because of some plot twist)

I hate modern zombies that you see in movies and TV shows like the Walking Dead or Resident Evil. I like slow moving zombies that you see in the original Night of the Living Dead and White Zombie. I also hate on people view infected as zombies the like ones in 28 Days Later and The Last of Us. If they are not undead then they are not zombies. Modern day zombies and vampires just annoy me when I watch them. The only modern day vampire and zombie movie that I enjoy was Daybreakers and Warm Bodies. If Dragon Ball did zombies then they should be slow moving and created by magic.

The Garlic Jr and Baby arcs had instances of friends becoming infected/corrupted by evil stuff.

The Bebi saga remind me more of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers then being zombies. In GT, everyone had their mind taking over and devoid of all human emotion.

Right, I was thinking of the slow kind and it's a manga so why not throw some humor in there like with "Stubbs The Zombie" videogame. They should be brought back to life by magic, (Dragon Balls) or say Demigra using his necromancy dark magic. The main villain shouldn't be a Zombie at all, just someone trying to take over the world or something like Demigra himself. I really think it'd be cool if bringing back the dead and using Dark magic was against the rules of "Gods" and Beerus is the one who has to take care of him with Goku butting in or Beerus falls for a trap and Goku has to defeat him. All the zombies should be slow, unless they're like one boss zombie or something and it's the Original Super Saiyan but that's a bit too far with it. (well to be honest, the zombies could be via Demigra's dark magic and the OSSJ could be via the Dragon Balls and he uses his magic to control him.) That way the OSSJ wouldn't be a walking power corpse.

DB has basically had everything crazy you can think of, androids, aliens, demons, pink blob creatures, Cat Gods, talking dragons, mad scientist, you name it. To my knowledge Toriyama never went the Zombie route, and I'm guessing it's because Zombies wasn't really popular when the manga was being searialized like they are now. One Piece had a zombie arc, and Naruto did too which always left me wondering what a DBZ zombie arc would have been like. I know a lot of people are burnt out on the zombie fab and "The Walking Dead" including myself but I think Dragon Ball could really pull it off. I could see something crazy happening with a wish, causing an outbreak and zombies spreading everywhere causing the whole cast to fight. I could just imagine Mr. Satan opening the door to a Zombie and then shutting it in its face and hiding behind Boo

Are you talking about the army from the Summoning: Worldly Resurrection jutsu? I wouldn't really even call that a zombie arc since they weren't like most versions of zombies. Most of them (or well the ones we see) were completely aware of what was going on, had all their memories, talked, came up with plans, and some had free will and basically just acted like they would if they had come back to life. So if we are counting them as zombies then we might as well count anybody from DB who has been wished back (which is almost everybody).

Though there was that filler arc with Earth Style Ultimate Revival Jutsu: Soil Bodies, but we see those zombies for like 2 episodes. So I think movie 12 would be about equal to that.

I really don't follow Naruto much but I do plan to read the manga but I caught a short episode on Toonami which may have been filler. Anyways It was something to do with Narutos 9 tailed fox, I don't really know how but a boy had the powers of the 9 tailed fox just like Naruto. I think a villain was resurrecting the dead and I heard the word "Zombie" so I automatically assumed they were zombies.

Edit - Here it is! It was indeed filler - http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Twelve_Gua ... inja_(Arc)
"Konoha's ninja fought off the revived zombie members of the Kohaku clan."

Surprisingly enough, the reason I remembered this short filler arc was because that boy's name was "Sora" just like the main character from Kingdom Hearts.
