Dragon Ball- probabably about six times. 3 times for the dub. 3 times for the sub. Also about half of the edited Toonami run up until Krillin fought Chiaotzu

DBZ- Twice. Once with the original Japanese and once with the dub with Kikuchi score. Also a decent amount of the Toonami broadcast up until Kid Buu

DBGT- Once in Japanese. The odd dub episode here and there when it aired on Toonami

DBZKai: Once all the way through in the uncut dub. A few episodes in Japanese. The Nicktoon broadcast up until about the time Cell first shows up

DBZ Kai Final Chapters: None aside from a few clips here and there of dub

Dragon Ball Super: Once for the dub. Only watched some clips in Japanese.

From DB to GT all the way through 8 times maybe, but due to release schedules, I"ve seen some episodes maybe twice that amount.

I can't count the number of times I've watched the Ocean dub of DBZ episodes 1-53

Z Kai - probably 6

Super - 3 times

Between tv broadcasts and home releases, I've seen Z too many times to count.

DB I've seen about 6 or 7 times.

GT I think 7 or 8.

With Kai I've seen the Saiyan and Frieza arcs several times, the Cell arc about 4 times, and Buu twice.

I started a 2nd watch of Super late last year, but stopped after suffering through the retellings. I might pick it up again sometime, but I think it will be the least rewatchable series for me overall. Maybe in future I'll skip tge retellings in favour of the movies.

Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

All the times. I was told to stop watching Dragon Ball because I was too powerful and too knowledgable and my bisexual prowess was overwhelming the universe's ability to comprehend such a powerful watcher of the Dragon's Balls.

Okay, okay, silliness aside, I actually don't remember. I've been watching Dragon Ball since 1998, after all. I do know I haven't watched the series in about ten-plus years, though. If I had to guess I would say I've seen the 196 cartoon series and Dragon Ball Z three times? I've seen Dragon Ball GT twice—and I want to give it another viewing soon to better check out the Matsui episodes—and I've only seen Dragon Ball Super once, which I also want to correct.

DB and GT 4 times, Z and Super 3 times(not gonna rewatch Super anymore), Kai once.
For first 3 I did different dubs but ultimately ended up with English most recently.
Only 42 volumes are canon. Everything else is glorified fanfic.

The anime, probably about 2-3 times for each series. I haven't gone and rewatched Super from start to finish but I would rewatch the episodes 2 or 3x every week while they were airing.

As for the manga, I've read it close to a hundred times by this point.

Honestly I lost count, and this isn’t counting the manga.

DB- probably at least 4 times. Doing another rewatch right now, at the 22nd WT
DBZ: I’m guessing five times. Will soon be 6
GT: 3 times.
Super: once and no real desire to rewatch beyond some clips

But just counting particular episodes then some are 10+. Sometimes I’ll pop in a random episode on my DVDs and watch like 2-3-4 in a row
