Potaufeu arc has a better plot, better fights, and a much better cast of characters than any of them.
In particular, it's almost impossible to do a worse arc than the Wedding Dress one and Toei still didn't accomplished that feat.
Not only because it barely had any fight, but also because anyone can easily come up with a better plot and a better main duo than Goku/Chichi.

We have now a much richer cast than back then. Jaco/Monaka combo alone is already much better than them.
Sorry, I should've said imo. And I like the Wedding Dress arc cause An'nin is a filler character that I like and Gokuu/Chi Chi is not a bad duo for me. The Fake Namek arc while I agree is terrible it didn't annoy me as much as the Copy arc did.

the Pan episode and the episode where Goku couldn't control his Ki were good

actually same goes for Beerus Monaka

the filler after U6 was good up till Potafu which was longer than it needed to be.

I actually think it was one of the biggest missed opportunities of both the movie and TV version that we didn't get to see Freeza go on his own evil version of the wuxia training journey.

Braving harsh environments, obtaining mystical items, finding (and threatening) cosmic sage masters, etc. Could've been an amazing montage.

There are so many gag spins you could put on standard training images/sequences just with the jokes that he's either already cosmically powerful or evil.
Exactly. It also gives us a better way to reveal some untold mysteries rather than "we knew it all along" beerus, kaioshin-beerus link, god ki, etc.

However, my favourite filler episode, if not straight up favourite episode, is the one with Goku and Pan.
I'm in agreement with this. If the other Pan episode where Trunks visits counts, then that is a close second in my book

Lord Beerus wrote:Episode 43 was wonderful and one the best filler episodes in the franchise's history. Up there with the likes of the Great Saiyaman shenanigans and the Otherworld Tournament. The Copy Vegeta arc, by contrast, rank among the worst filler the franchise had produced. Down there there with the likes of Fake Namek, Garlic Jr and Maron.
I would rank the "Copy Vegeta" arc worse than any of the other ones you mentioned. Mainly due to the fact that it had great potential, hinting that would be an adventure with Goten and Trunks would occur, only for it to be built up for another Goku & Vegeta showdown, and boring generic villains with the same old motivations.

I loved ep 43, Whis training and Goku punching Kuririn (ehem one puuuuuuuunchhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

The copy Vegeta Arc was awful, even ep 44 that had good animation and shots was so Boring that I can't even think of rewatching it.
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

There is only 1 filler arc in Super (the copy vegeta arc). And it was shit.
Toyotarō: … I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

Toriyama: Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

Gokû "enrolling" at Whis' school and becoming Vegeta's classmate and roommate. That was fun stuff.

Only reason I list it above RoSaT is they didn't really show much of RoSaT training at all and I was left having to fill in my own canon.

RoSaT is part of Gods Tournament arc, not actually filler then.

Well the episode that the alien dogs come to earth and look for Satan was a nice one. However, should I consider it filler when is introduced the unbeatable "tractor creation punch"? It looked so weak but still goku went flying.....with a tractor.
