@@specialnewb9821 Nah. Gohan is at his best in DBS manga. He achieved balance between fighting and his normal life. If Toyotarou had complete freedom to write DBS, I'd wager his character arc would be highlighted even more.
What a fun video! It's rare to find someone who is new to the Dragon Ball Series, so hearing your perspective as a first timer is awesome! Reminds me of when I first started getting into the anime as a kid.
I agree with you that the video is awesome but I disagree with "It's rare to find someone who is new to the Dragon Ball Series", with all this new dragon ball movies and parody's out now, theres plenty of new dragon ball comers that you can find pretty much anywhere lol.
I totally agree about Namek and Krillin, It's definitely the arc where characters have to use their heads to get out of situations instead of brute force.
its so weird to me that there are still people who've never touched dragonball. It's such a universally recognized series its like saying you don't know who superman is.
The first volume of Z is incredibly thin due to the manga's unique release situation. Originally there wasn't a DBZ manga, DBZ was a term exclusively used for the anime series. Since the DBZ anime came here first, before the manga, most Dragon Ball manga releases split the series at the same point as DB, and DBZ are split in the anime. This means that they moved two chapters from volume 17 of Dragon Ball (Volume 1 of Z), to Volume 16, to match the anime.
Imagine ur a 4 year old kid who is the son of a super powered alien from outerspace, and a raging mother that is upsessed with normal life and you get dropped into a battlefield with 2 of the strongest warriors and people getting killed, then dropped into the forest alone and living alone with a giant pickle that is watching you.
Loved his reaction to frieza: that’s more or less everybody’s reaction to his design. His original dub voice didn’t really help him either, but it did become iconic for the character.
@@CaptainRAIAN Unfortunately, once again Goku came back to steal the show from Gohan. All that hype, the Z Sword, and his power up didn't matter because he just got absorbed by Buu in the end. Poor guy.
Blue Toon Yeah I don’t know why it’s always Goku and Vegeta that have to save the day. I would have been perfectly happy if Gohan or Gotanks or Vegito beat Buu.
@@bluetoon1499 yeah its what disses gohan character because he hit his peak at cell, Hes restrictions to his type of character lay him done, unlike goku because of what type of character he is and who he is
Fun fact, the reason your volume 1 of the Z portion of the manga is so thin is because in the original Japanese Tankoubon releases, the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai (fight with Piccolo Jr) bled into volume 17 of the original Dragon Ball manga. When Viz did their translations and split the series into two, they added those last few chapters of the fight with Piccolo into Dragon Ball volume 16, so the “Z” manga can start where the Dragon Ball Z anime starts at (with chapter 195, the introduction of Raditz). Also I really enjoyed these videos. Glad that you enjoyed the series. Dragon Ball as a whole is a fun time (personally I’m a fan of the manga over the anime adaptations myself, but if you like anime, they’re worth a watch as well ).
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm both surprised and relieved that you didn't seem to care for Frieza lol he's the most popular villain in the series. I do wish you had more to say on the story though.
I recommend MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection videos if you ever want a deep dive into the story. I'm not a Dragon Ball fan and I love how informative it is. He has a series of videos dedicated to the changes the anime made to the story.
I literally brought the dragon ball box set after watching the first video to celebrate me handing in my final project of university. I might have to get the Z box set too 😂
I'm glad to hear that you liked the manga :D It's always sad to get invested in a series and then you end up being disappointed by it :') Also yes, tournament arcs are great and it's a tragedy when they get interrupted!
Great video dude,I love seeing a newcomer read the series for the first time! If you wanna read Super, I don't know if I recommend you reading the manga first. In the beginning, the Dragon Ball Super manga was just a promotional manga for the anime, which means the first arc is super short because it was rushed to hell since it's an arc we had already seen in a movie. The second arc isn't even in the manga, you gotta go watch the movie instead. The third arc is a little bit more fleshed out, but still feels very promotional. The fourth arc is when it starts to feel more independent, and there's debate about if the anime version is better or not..the fifth arc also feels very rushed, a thousand times better in the anime. The sixth arc again, isn't even in the manga, you gotta go watch a movie for that one, and the last two arcs are actually feeling pretty good in the manga. So in conclusion, the only arcs that are worth reading the manga are the seventh and eighth arc, you're better just watching the anime.
The reason Vegeta does the cringey bingo dance is because he's so freaking scared of Beerus that he's willing to do ANYTHING to please him so he doesn't kill everyone... 😬
Still I think his Sacrifice as Majin Vegeta is a more dignified representation of how much he's changed compared to...this. I must say as funny as that scene was, when taken completely out of context it just makes Super look even more ridiculous than it is (and it's already pretty ridiculous as is).
Great vid as always,just wanted to say drahon ball super is not a spin off,its canon and it continues right after dragon ball z ,its pretty good so i should give it a try,u also meet beerus at the first volume
Hi. I have been subscribed to your channel for 1 month now and I really like to find someone who likes the same things I like. I just wanna say that you are awesome and thanks to you I feel like buying more manga. I finished reading Dragon Ball and now I'm saving money to buy Dragon Ball Z complete box set. I love your channel.
This was awesome. As a long time Dragon Ball fan, it was fun to see you experience and react to the manga and appreciate it for all the same reasons I did years ago. As for Dragon Ball Super, I really do not like it and find it to be completely unnecessary (to put it nicely). Good video.
You're not missing much with super, if you were disappointed with Majin Boo, then prepare for several steps down from even Boo. I would recommend the dragon ball 1 volume side manga Jaco the galactic patrolman, definitely worth a read. Also some of the anime TV specials, the Bardock special and Trunks special in Japanese of course. Beerus is a cool character introduced in the Battle of Gods movie which is worth a watch but anything after I wouldn't bother
Ive also read all of DBZ and its absolutely amazing Honestly the boo arc and Android were my favorite because compared to the others the world actually felt under threat, and YOOO the transformations were sooo cool and fun. Cell was awesome but because i didn't feel like there was a real threat, it didn't feel as good as it should have. I actually really enjoyed dr Gero, idk i just loved his design
Super is more of a continuation than a spinoff, but I'd only recommend it if you really loved the second half of DB. Although it's made with the help of Toriyama, he's not either the artist or has the main control of the plot of the series and it shows.
DEFINITELY read Super, it isn’t a spin off, it takes place between the Buu Saga and the end of Z, great read!!! I started reading it after the Super anime ended and it’s what got me into reading manga in the first place!!! I recommend it if you liked the OG and Z.
@@great159 What are you talking about? The only contradiction is that Vegeta’s characterization basically reverts back to Cell Saga, with him needing to be better than Goku (plus a couple of minor retcons like the potara earrings, but nothing lore-breaking).
@@Melonposting lol Current Vegeta is nowhere near how he was in the Cell saga he’s a way better character now just not as badass or as much of an asshole
i wouldnt recommend reading super its just not good those clean panels that dragonball and z are known for arent there and it just feels like a fanfic which makes sense since the mangaka for it got the job because of his doujinshi called dragonball af you should just watch the anime for it imo
Im glad you gave Dragon Ball a chance. You see why people like it so much now lol. Imagine being 6 years old, seeing this on Toonami every evening on classic Cartoon Network.. good times..
Actually. Until the buu saga,the Dragon Balls could only revive someone once. I guess it was to make ir easier that Toriyama chose to make it unlimited. Fans sure do love the characters
I mean the task of reviving someone isn't simple and each time they need to do it the task becomes a bit more difficult, so it's not "of no consequence" there are consequences...but, it does certainly make death a lot less meaningful. I suppose I still prefer having one story with an established canon explanation for how characters can die and come back later as opposed to how American comics handle this (just reboot it and pretend the death never happened).
@@gmmworld9848 True, I guess I was talking more about the video and a common criticism fans have about this series. There are certain deaths, like when Cell kills Trunks that are presented as super dramatic, but Dende already replaced Kami so they can easily wish him back with the new Dragon Balls, so the characters have little reason to be so sad about it.
The earth's dragon balls are still limited to reviving one person once, the namekian dragon balls are the only ones that can bypass that (besides the Super DBs (dbs exclusive) and the Black Star DBs (gt exclusive))
U are right on the fact that its not a spin-off but toriyama barely even writes or reviews it, he simply writes an outline for both the anime and the manga and lets toei and toyotarou do whatever
@@hextorm2 You are totally right, but it’s kinda different for Super since it is the only “alternative timeline” where he writes an outline out of the rest of the other timelines
@@hextorm2 the only thing that was regarded by toriyama as alternate timelines were the DB/DBZ Movies, GT can arguably be so but its moreso referred to as a side-story; DBH and Xenoverse are just video-games and have no connection to the main story whatso ever, it would also be contradictory asf to call them alternate timelines
Now you got to read dbs But make sure to watch battle of gods and Resurrection f before you do and then read away until they mention broly then watch that movie (dragon ball super broly)
Hey Raian, just letting you know, the main there's technically 3 different main continuation of Dragon Ball past the end of the original manga, with slightly different branches of paths but with the same outline, but everything besides the outline is up to their interpretation: Toei Animation (For DBS Anime and DBZ: Battle of Gods/Resurrection F, these two minutes is basically the first 1-28 episodes of Dragon Ball Super, but in movie form, and ofcourse the movies came first.) So the difference between the movies and the redapation of the arcs, is going to boil down to schedule and production time, so if you watch the movies and you watch the anime's re-adaption of the arcs, you'll notice a big drop in quality. That's because, it's a very rare case of toei animation rushing out Dragon Ball Super anime as fast as possible. By only having 2-3 months to work on it. Usually for anime you need to have a pre-production time of 6-8 months and usually you also announce your anime project 6-8 months in advance, with atleast 1:30 min or longer teaser. (To show it's in a healthy production schedule) but toei literally only showed a 30 seconds teaser 1 month BEFORE the DBS anime came out.) But there are some noticeable differences atleast in battle of god movie vs anime version. In anime version they put more effort into showing why it's called "Battle of Gods." So you'll see some impressive things happening there. As for DBS Manga, DBS manga kind of goes the same path as DBS Anime, specifically for Battle Of Gods arc. And if you ever decide to read DBS manga, keep in mind, resurrection F arc is skipped, because there were already a spin off before the resurrection F movie aired, to give a sneak peak of the movie in manga form. So it was meaningsless to re-adapt it into manga form again. Also the DBS Mangaka isn't toriyama this time, as in, he isn't the one doing the panelling or choreography. His job is to supervise and the one doing the panelling and choreography and all that stuff is an artist named "Toyotaro." What Akira Toriyama does is give a very veeeery vague "outline" which he gives to toei animation and toyotaro, and they can then give their own interpretation of anything besides the outline that they have to follow. My own personal suggestion to you is the more time consuming answer: Watch both BoG movie and resurrection F movie and then if you prefer to read the DBS manga instead of watching the anime, then go and do that. But you'll definitely notice differences between the anime version and the manga version. There are some things that doesn't exist in one over the other. Sorry for the long post.
I read the original dragon ball series over the past 2 months due to this idea. I loved the idea of going into this manga with no nostalgia attached like he said in the first video about dragon ball. I legit knew nothing about Dragonball or DragonBall Z and I have to say, its definitely worth the read! I enjoyed it so much. Character development, twists, and the message through out the whole manga, was an absolute fun read. I'm not sure if ill read Dragonball Super still, but, ill just say, the manga makes me wanna experience the anime now. Also, was my first ever manga series I read, and cant wait to experience more. Thanks for the inspiration man!
I wonder why they added "Z" to the manga series, when it originally was only added to the show adaptation. Nonetheless, the mangas were my first introduction to anime/manga culture, and it was one of my childhood's highlights for sure. The edition of Dragonball I have contains 42 volumes, which I'm surprised can fit in 26 volumes as big as shown in the vid. Edit: I just realized that the volume 1 you read happens to be my equivalent of volume 17, which is after the timeskip. Seems like they separated the series in two, which is interesting.
Definitely read Super! It's not a spinoff. It's a continuation. It also seems like it's the start of something greater. The amount of world building that they do in Super is crazy. They can literally make stories for decades with what they introduced.
seeing this kinda made me emotional. it was so nice to see you giving the series a try. I truly appreciate it as a fan and respect you so much for it. As for db super, I would recommend, the manga is a mess, so you're better off watching the series, but I'd say skip the first 26 episodes and watch the two movies, if you want, you can review the movies in a video. the first movie is DBZ Battle of Gods, and the second movie is DBZ Resurrection F .. after that go to episode 26 or 27 of db super, and pick it up from there.
I'm from the 90s and back then we never said Anime or Manga, we said Japanimation and comic book. Those terms didn't popularize until about the year 2000. Great Job!! By the way I'm old.
@@thms6833 If you're only looking at Battle of Gods, it's definitely bad. But try looking at some of the better arcs like Future Trunks, Tournament of Power, and especially Moro.
Arc = Saga, the terms are interchangeable. I think "arc" is more generic, because it refers to any kind of a story arc in any story, whereas Saga is more often used by fans of the English Dub, but either one works. I suppose the Cell Arc/Saga is truthfully a bunch of smaller arcs including the Trunks Arc, the Android Arc, the Imperfect Cell Arc, and the Cell Games Arc, but whatever, it's all part of one big story with a clear beginning and ending.
Now it's time for Dragon Ball Super Manga ! . You should read it in this order - Dragon Ball Z : Battle of Gods anime comic - Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 1-4 - Dragon Ball Z : Resurrection of f anime comic - Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 5-42 - Dragon Ball Super Broly Anime Comic - Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 43 to the last one so far .
Or you can watch Battle of Gods and Resurrection F, then read 9 volumes of the Super manga (except the last two chapters), watch Broly movie (2018), then continue reading the manga. That's my recommended way of experiencing Super.
I highly recommend looking into what the story's actually about , especially Goku vs Vegeta and the whole Frieza business , very interesting. Derek Padula is good.person to start with
Yall have been so hyped for this lol

Im glad you gave Dragon Ball a chance. You see why people like it so much now lol. Imagine being 6 years old, seeing this on Toonami every evening on classic Cartoon Network.. good times..
Just finished the dragonball massiv books (14 books with the 42 volumes) really got in love with this manga
Just so you know, the dragon ball super manga and the dragon ball super anime have different plot points and story beats.
And, the major difference: it's not drawn by Toriyama and it shows.
@@Mugen026 Ultra instinct drawn by toriyama would've been amazing.
Super is more of an ALTERNATE TIMELINE.
@@great159 emh.. no... dragonball super is totally canon, main plot is written by toriyama and is connected to dragonball minus.
Akira Toriyama wrote Dragon Ball Super but he needs to draw it because the art is Terrible
If you love tournaments, you’ll love dragon ball super promise. Plus loved the video❤️
I can't imagine reading DBZ. I love watching the anime. Update: It's 2023 and I am now reading the first 16 volumes of the OG Dragon Ball.
W
I started watching it and reading it a year ago but I started liking the series 2 years ago am I considered a dbz fan?
I like reading more because the staredowns are quicker and there's no stuff about what the other characters are doing far away during the fights
Loved these couple of videos
It's fun to see how thoughts and reactions change
Also, I call him Turin. You can call him whatever you want man lol
Actually. Until the buu saga,the Dragon Balls could only revive someone once. I guess it was to make ir easier that Toriyama chose to make it unlimited. Fans sure do love the characters
I mean the task of reviving someone isn't simple and each time they need to do it the task becomes a bit more difficult, so it's not "of no consequence" there are consequences...but, it does certainly make death a lot less meaningful. I suppose I still prefer having one story with an established canon explanation for how characters can die and come back later as opposed to how American comics handle this (just reboot it and pretend the death never happened).
@@bluetoon1499 i never said meaningless...
@@gmmworld9848 True, I guess I was talking more about the video and a common criticism fans have about this series. There are certain deaths, like when Cell kills Trunks that are presented as super dramatic, but Dende already replaced Kami so they can easily wish him back with the new Dragon Balls, so the characters have little reason to be so sad about it.
The earth's dragon balls are still limited to reviving one person once, the namekian dragon balls are the only ones that can bypass that (besides the Super DBs (dbs exclusive) and the Black Star DBs (gt exclusive))
I was waiting so long for this:)
Dragon Ball Super isnt a spinoff, it is still directed by Toriyama but the artist has changed
U are right on the fact that its not a spin-off but toriyama barely even writes or reviews it, he simply writes an outline for both the anime and the manga and lets toei and toyotarou do whatever
The word cannon in dragon ball stops existing when you realize every story is an alternate timeline, super, gt, xenoverse and I think even heroes
@@hextorm2 You are totally right, but it’s kinda different for Super since it is the only “alternative timeline” where he writes an outline out of the rest of the other timelines
It sucks
@@hextorm2 the only thing that was regarded by toriyama as alternate timelines were the DB/DBZ Movies, GT can arguably be so but its moreso referred to as a side-story; DBH and Xenoverse are just video-games and have no connection to the main story whatso ever, it would also be contradictory asf to call them alternate timelines
Great video happy you enjoyed the manga
Me to god : give this man a power read faster
No no... pray that I can edit faster and that I can recover from surgery faster lol
@@CaptainRAIAN Surgery????
@@CaptainRAIAN Well hopefully you recover faster!!
@@andreacalix3256 yep! Wisdom tooth surgery! Im all recovered now tho lol
@@CaptainRAIAN happy to hear that your feeling better now!
i’ve been waiting for this! yes!
Now you got to read dbs
But make sure to watch battle of gods and Resurrection f before you do and then read away until they mention broly then watch that movie (dragon ball super broly)
This! Avoid the Dragon Ball Super tv show (unless you later want to see some of the post-Resurrection F fights animated.)
Hey Raian, just letting you know, the main there's technically 3 different main continuation of Dragon Ball past the end of the original manga, with slightly different branches of paths but with the same outline, but everything besides the outline is up to their interpretation: Toei Animation (For DBS Anime and DBZ: Battle of Gods/Resurrection F, these two minutes is basically the first 1-28 episodes of Dragon Ball Super, but in movie form, and ofcourse the movies came first.)
So the difference between the movies and the redapation of the arcs, is going to boil down to schedule and production time, so if you watch the movies and you watch the anime's re-adaption of the arcs, you'll notice a big drop in quality. That's because, it's a very rare case of toei animation rushing out Dragon Ball Super anime as fast as possible. By only having 2-3 months to work on it. Usually for anime you need to have a pre-production time of 6-8 months and usually you also announce your anime project 6-8 months in advance, with atleast 1:30 min or longer teaser. (To show it's in a healthy production schedule) but toei literally only showed a 30 seconds teaser 1 month BEFORE the DBS anime came out.)
But there are some noticeable differences atleast in battle of god movie vs anime version. In anime version they put more effort into showing why it's called "Battle of Gods." So you'll see some impressive things happening there.
As for DBS Manga, DBS manga kind of goes the same path as DBS Anime, specifically for Battle Of Gods arc.
And if you ever decide to read DBS manga, keep in mind, resurrection F arc is skipped, because there were already a spin off before the resurrection F movie aired, to give a sneak peak of the movie in manga form. So it was meaningsless to re-adapt it into manga form again.
Also the DBS Mangaka isn't toriyama this time, as in, he isn't the one doing the panelling or choreography. His job is to supervise and the one doing the panelling and choreography and all that stuff is an artist named "Toyotaro."
What Akira Toriyama does is give a very veeeery vague "outline" which he gives to toei animation and toyotaro, and they can then give their own interpretation of anything besides the outline that they have to follow.
My own personal suggestion to you is the more time consuming answer: Watch both BoG movie and resurrection F movie and then if you prefer to read the DBS manga instead of watching the anime, then go and do that.
But you'll definitely notice differences between the anime version and the manga version. There are some things that doesn't exist in one over the other.
Sorry for the long post.
I've waited 40-
No
5000 years for this
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 😫😫😫‼
After all comments he has been getting we gotta leave a like!! Every single one of us
I read the original dragon ball series over the past 2 months due to this idea. I loved the idea of going into this manga with no nostalgia attached like he said in the first video about dragon ball. I legit knew nothing about Dragonball or DragonBall Z and I have to say, its definitely worth the read! I enjoyed it so much. Character development, twists, and the message through out the whole manga, was an absolute fun read. I'm not sure if ill read Dragonball Super still, but, ill just say, the manga makes me wanna experience the anime now. Also, was my first ever manga series I read, and cant wait to experience more. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Bro I can’t wait
Matches your pfp
@@ningenzerokeikaku3719 100%
@@ningenzerokeikaku3719 lmao
Finally I was waiting for this along time ago
finallyyy!!! please read naruto next! ^-^
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVER
I wonder why they added "Z" to the manga series, when it originally was only added to the show adaptation.
Nonetheless, the mangas were my first introduction to anime/manga culture, and it was one of my childhood's highlights for sure. The edition of Dragonball I have contains 42 volumes, which I'm surprised can fit in 26 volumes as big as shown in the vid.
Edit: I just realized that the volume 1 you read happens to be my equivalent of volume 17, which is after the timeskip. Seems like they separated the series in two, which is interesting.
I loved seeing how you just fell in love with the series it was awesome
Definitely read Super! It's not a spinoff. It's a continuation. It also seems like it's the start of something greater. The amount of world building that they do in Super is crazy. They can literally make stories for decades with what they introduced.
In the same way that the Super anime and GT are "continuations."
seeing this kinda made me emotional. it was so nice to see you giving the series a try. I truly appreciate it as a fan and respect you so much for it.
As for db super, I would recommend, the manga is a mess, so you're better off watching the series, but I'd say skip the first 26 episodes and watch the two movies, if you want, you can review the movies in a video. the first movie is DBZ Battle of Gods, and the second movie is DBZ Resurrection F .. after that go to episode 26 or 27 of db super, and pick it up from there.
Next all of naruto
Edit:and yu yu hakusho since you love tournaments
The dragon ball super manga is good the show is bad but the manga hasn’t finished yet (it’s also not a spin off) amazing video I love your channel!!!
After the first video I was inspired to read the dragon ball manga too😳😳 maybe I'll start it online in the near future🤷🏼♀️
YES! The manga is clearly better than the anime
@@Chicky-yy7nk good to know, thank you!
@@Chicky-yy7nk I actually started reading it right now im on chapter 3 lol :)
@@juli_ju172 did you like it
@@broken120z I've only read 3 chaoters but I'll Update you how I like it when I'm further in the Story;)
I have been waiting for this vid. Love the content
Nah don’t let that clip deter you from reading super 😂
Been waiting for this! Great video as always!
I saw this in my recommendations and I clicked faster than ever
13:22 that’s me and this video is making me wanna go and read the whole manga rn lol
I'm from the 90s and back then we never said Anime or Manga, we said Japanimation and comic book. Those terms didn't popularize until about the year 2000. Great Job!! By the way I'm old.
Maybe you said that, but I was a 90s weeb. I definitely said anime/manga in the 90s.
@@specialnewb9821 I didn't say I was cool
Never apologize for things you didn’t do wrong. You’ll live a better life, friend. Solid video.
Are you planning on reading db super manga too?
Way better than the anime 😂
@@ChefMonke07 and STILL pretty bad
says a lot about both
I think people who watch and read dbs are dragon ball fans since young, it's more of nostalgia and support. Cuz it's trash
@@thms6833 If you're only looking at Battle of Gods, it's definitely bad. But try looking at some of the better arcs like Future Trunks, Tournament of Power, and especially Moro.
@@anneliselim602 I suggest you give DBS manga a try. Just skip Battle of Gods and jump straight into Universe 6.
YES! been waiting for this
I just finished reading Dragon Ball Z today! What a coincidence.
How’d you like it?
TheLegend27 it was great, the ending was a little sudden, and the Buu arc went on a bit long...
@@RobinZeg what did you thought about the Namek saga? It's consider as the best saga in shonen history
I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSS!!! YAYA
The “Cell Arc” is known as the Cell Saga. Also, DBS isn’t a spin off.
Arc = Saga, the terms are interchangeable. I think "arc" is more generic, because it refers to any kind of a story arc in any story, whereas Saga is more often used by fans of the English Dub, but either one works. I suppose the Cell Arc/Saga is truthfully a bunch of smaller arcs including the Trunks Arc, the Android Arc, the Imperfect Cell Arc, and the Cell Games Arc, but whatever, it's all part of one big story with a clear beginning and ending.
@@bluetoon1499 Yeah I get that. I’m not saying that’s incorrect, I am just saying that it is most commonly known as the Cell Saga.
Omg I literally called it the cell saga, then cut it out cuz I wasn’t sure if that was right 😂
@@CaptainRAIAN lol
Nice! I was looking forward to this video
Naruto box set reviews when?
Garbage
I remember back in the first few volumes of Dragon Ball Z is that old art style they used to do for Goku and Vegeta kinda miss it
Now it's time for Dragon Ball Super Manga ! . You should read it in this order
- Dragon Ball Z : Battle of Gods anime comic
- Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 1-4
- Dragon Ball Z : Resurrection of f anime comic
- Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 5-42
- Dragon Ball Super Broly Anime Comic
- Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 43 to the last one so far .
We’re only on chapter 71 it hasn’t finished yet so no
Or you can watch Battle of Gods and Resurrection F, then read 9 volumes of the Super manga (except the last two chapters), watch Broly movie (2018), then continue reading the manga.
That's my recommended way of experiencing Super.
Yikes dragon ball fans are cringy as hell
You forgot Dragon Ball🐉🐒
You are officially top 3 mangatubers. Very nice video and quality. Swag
One piece now
I highly recommend looking into what the story's actually about , especially Goku vs Vegeta and the whole Frieza business , very interesting. Derek Padula is good.person to start with
