What's your favorite saga?

Post by Zenkai » Sun Sep 02, 2012 11:04 pm

What's your favorite saga out of all Dragonball-Z-GT? My favorite saga is the Buu saga.

Out of all three? Yeah I would have to go with the Buu saga too.. he just wipes out so many people and planets and just creates so much fear.

For Dragon Ball it would have to the piccolo Jr saga.
For DBZ it would have to be the kid buu saga.
For DBGT it would have to be the End of the Baby saga(SSJ 4 Goku - the end of it)

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

I can't really say what my favorite saga for the original Dragonball because I haven't watched it all yet. For Z? freeza saga. for GT? that's a tough one :P hmmm you know I honestly don't know :lol:

Dragonball = Tie between Piccolo Jr. and Pilaf Sagas.
Dragonball Z = Vegeta Saga
Dragonball GT = I guess Super 17 if I had to choose.

I think the OP was asking your favorite out of all of the series combined.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

The 23rd Tenka-ichi Budōkai. Best fights in the series, fast-paced, gorgeous "DB-to-Z" artwork, vintage Goku-Piccolo rivalry, Kami at his most active, the Earthlings get their last chance to shine... good stuff.

Fun fact (unrelated to my love of it): The only arc of the series which doesn't feature a child as part of the main character line-up.

While I like the entire franchise, my favorite storyline, without a doubt, is the Boo arc. From the beginning of Gohan going to high school to the end of the mana/Z.

Although -- I still haven't read the manga version of the storyline. I've heard it might actually be a portion of the series that holds up better in the anime.

I would probably have to choose the "Search for the Dragon Balls" Ark. I like Z and GT, but I like Good o'l Dragon Ball even more! :D

Red Ribbon saga, Freezer saga and the Shadow Dragon saga are my fav from all three series. But this changes sporadically every now and then.

Mine is the Saiyan saga. I could watch that saga over and over again and never get bored of it.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

The Freeza saga, and I consider the Saiyan saga as part of the Freeza saga.

The 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai. I love it. The artwork, the story, the battles; yes to all of it. X3

I'm looking forward to reading the author notes that appeared during that arc in Herms WJ thread. I'm curious to see if anything will be said about the age jump.
