I've read the 42 mangas, which ends with the defeat of Buu and Goku leaving his family to go train with Uub. I have two questions to ask:

1. Before watching anything beyond DBZ, should I restart from the beginning and watch DB and DBZ (I have only read the mangas so far).

2. What should I watch after DBZ? There are movies, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super... I've read that GT has nothing to do with the actual series and that Super is the thing to watch for what happens next, can anyone confirm?

Thanks :thumbsup:

Can confirm super is chronologically placed after Z
But I don't know if there is anything between the two.

Dragon Ball GT can be treated as an alternate sequel to DBS

Watch DB and DBZ.

Depending on which one you like most, it'll answer the question of whether to watch DBS or DBGT.

With DBS they tried to bring back the lighter vibe and the (bad) comedy. Goku is mostly retarded and the relationship between Goku and Vegeta took a huge step back compared to the end of DBZ (not talking about the "10 years later", I'm referring to their more matured relationship after the Boo fight/Vegeta's epiphany about Goku).

DBGT kept the more serious tone of DBZ. Unfortunately it got a really bad rep because of the chase for the black dragon balls during the first few episodes and because Goku was brought back to being a kid. However, you can sense the urgency of the fights just like in DBZ, the animation is pretty damn amazing, the SSJ4 transformation is much cooler than SSJ God/Blue and the fights are way more entertaining. Also the other fighters actually look like they spent some time training. Gohan looks like a fighter, not a cross dressing nerd with adidas clothes. The villains are also pretty awesome. ESPECIALLY compared to DBS.


DB, DBZ, DBS = the chronological order

GT is basically an alternate universe.

Also there are a lot of movies worth watching.

This is exactly what I was referring to when I said "really bad rep".
