The Golden Age Of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball

[Godo]

Everybody here knows that the Tenkaichi Budokai is, that's the difference.
A good thing to do is to add a translation when you use a phrase or word that isn't widely used here.

Pfft. If one can't infer what it means, they can't be older than 12, anyway.

I wrote that you could use some translation when writing a word in Japanese on a board where the main language is English, and you insult me and other people by telling us that we are mentally at a 12 year old's level in intelligence for not understanding a word that isn't our main language?
And I am the one that is supposed to be at a 12 year old's level? Seriously?
Are you for real?

[Savage68]

You don't know what sarcasm is?
Are you for real?

[Kaboom]

Hmmm... hard to pick. I personally enjoy the entire series. But trying to think objectively, I'd agree about the 23rd Budokai through Freeza "arc." So much going on in that part on so many levels.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Everybody here knows that the Tenkaichi Budokai is, that's the difference.

Exactly! Everyone around here uses the Japanese word for the martial arts tournament, but not the japanese word for power level.

Nappa: What does the scouter say about his sentou-ryoku?
Vegeta: Sentou-ryoku? What?
Nappa: His power level Vegeta.
Vegeta: Then why didn't you just say power level?
Nappa: I wanted to sound cool.

Alright, let's move on from the sentou-ryoku thing. If anyone says anything that might need clarification then someone will ask - like they did here, and then it's answered.

Anyway - I, like many others, will throw my vote in for late-DB/early-DBZ.

[Shiyonasan]

I'll throw in my 2 cents and say the 22nd Tenkaichi Budôkai to the Saiyan Arc. The Boo Arc was great too.

[IncredibleGuy]

Piccolo Jr. Saga? Absolute awesome. In my opinion, all of the DB era stuff is the best. The story gets a little weak and repetitive around the Freeza and Cell sagas, but it picks right back up and goes out with a bang in the Buu arc.

Well, I sort of agree, but only because the Boo saga contained a lot of Goten and Trunks throwing things off of their usual formula.

[KKZ]

Toriyama was at his story telling peak from the introduction of Trunks up until the end of the Cell Games. The Other World Tournament, Great Saiyaman, and the various incarnations of Buu weren't bad follow-ups by any means (Great Saiyaman is one of my all-time favorites), but the Cell Games, as well as Bojack Unbound felt like the absolute perfect closing to an amazing series. Oh well, at least we got to see Goku and Vegeta duke it out one last time!

[Big Momma]

The Garlic Jr. Saga

[IncompetentOverlord]

I say that the 'Golden Age' of Dragonball is Piccolo Daimao through Cell, even though I really like the 22nd Budokai and kind of 'meh' on the Artificial Humans stuff.

Gokuh VS Red Ribon. Billiant mesh of action and adventure.
