The "Cell saga" of Dragon Ball?

[DonZ]

Cell Saga is not the worst Saga, never!

Cell Saga is the most dark and mysterious saga of all with an amazing main creepy villain!!!

I like it a lot!

Piccolo Daimao and Freeza arcs takes the cake when it comes to dark atmosphere. i would Cell arc mysterious, but not dark.

The Cell saga was by far the worst saga in DBZ. But, what would you consider the first half of Dragon Ball's worst arc?

I'd have to go with the Red Ribbon arc, but only because it dragged on for too long. It's still well-written, unlike Cell, but I don't think it needed to be as long as it was.

You love to pick out the bad parts of Dragonball. Ugh-uh, worst part of the Dragonball TV series? That has to be the last few filler episodes.

I thought those were kinda okay. I don't remember them very well, though...Hrm.

The "Cell Saga of Dragon Ball. Hm. That's a bit of an odd way to phrase it, since you're kinda making the assumption that everyone shares the same opinion as you, which I'm fairly sure that isn't the case. It'd be kinda nice if you eased up on repeating these points in every second post that you make and perhaps put more of a positive spin on your discussions every so often. I'm not saying you should't have those opinions and you shouldn't share them, it just gets a little tiresome to read them over and over. I don't like the fact that I have to roll my eyes whenever I see a thread you've made or whatever.

Anyway, I'd have to a agree with the people who are saying the Red Ribbon Arc. Well, it's either that or the 'Pilaf' stuff. The thing with the Pilaf Arc, is that I'm not huge on some of Toriyama's humour (don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of funny stuff), but I kinda have a soft spot for it since it is the first part of the story and it's where it all began, etc. Red Ribbon Arc, I haven't actually seen or read the whole way through; but when I think about it, all that comes to mind is it dragging on and on, with several different parts to the story that don't seem to make sense together, unless you actually watch/read it right the way through- if that makes any sense (I think what I'm trying to say is that its kind of disjointed). There are some fun things in there like the Dr. Slump stuff, Goku storming the base, Bulma's parents, and Tao Pai-Pai, but overall it does feel like the most forgettable. Strangely enough, it did produce two movies though- one of them being my favourite in the whole franchise, so I dunno. Maybe it's quite a popular portion of the series in Japan? Or maybe this is a testament to its dragged out nature. The fact that it can be reduced to a 40/80 minute feature might be saying something about that....

Buu saga was the worst, he was the worst villain and the fights were the most pointless. Not to mention it introduced the fact that Goten, Trunks and Goten are superior to Goku and Vegeta just because they're next in-line. In the cell saga, everyone earned exactly what they had. In the Buu saga it was nothing but handouts.

I would have to agree that the Buu arc is less stable than even the Cell arc was. From the time Buu first splits until the point little Buu blows up the earth is just a ton of weirdness and nonsense. Gotenks is built up to be the savior of the world, gets discarded. Gohan is built up to be the REAL savior of the world, gets discarded. Goku and Vegeta come out of nowhere, fuse into basically God, then somehow end up fighting in the Kaioshin realm shortly thereafter? Just a mess. At least it was a good deal of fun, though. The fact it didn't take itself as seriously as the Cell arc makes the weird storytelling a touch more tolerable.
