Brehs, I decided to fire up a couple episodes of DBZ kai because of an OT thread today, and i've gotta say, how suspect were the Ginyu Force? The dances, the preening, Recoome. Even the big blue guy was kind of metro.

all of Frieza's and Cooler's flunkies were real zesty with it.

Frieza Saga or Cell Saga tho?

Kind of a ridiculous question, we all know it's the latter.

Cell Saga for sure. But that's mostly cause the OG pacing of the Frieza saga was pretty terrible. Watching Kai now, it's a lot more enjoyable now tho.

Nah, we just think it's weird to watch DBZ for the first time as a 30 year old man. The same is true for superhero comics, kenshin, etc. They're for kids.

Cell is definitely the GOAT DBZ villian DAT swag when he's in perfect form plus his theme song is too cold.
Click to expand...

Yup. His transformations were also more convincing. Not only due to the absorptions, but the art design of his character in each step. By the end of each arc, what was more terrifying? this:

or fucking this:

The buildup was simply better in every way.

was kinda weird how they positioned Gohan to be the GOAT at the end of the Cell Saga then proceeded to do nothing with him again.

the fuck are we doing right now

Happens man. Anyway you could definitely give Kai a try, but the reason DBZ was so popular was because it felt like such a different departure from everything else for kids out there on TV. It was super, super violent (people died, shit). Plus the high octane action. The problem is that if you've been exposed to a lot of the tropes in it, you might be miffed at how familiar it is even though it's an originator; kind of like reading a lot of modern fantasy and then going back to Lord of the Rings and thinking it's generic, I guess?

I never liked the Buu saga. I think he wanted to end it before that or something too.

there was dope shit that happened after that but that Majin turn was the last high point of the series.

when Goku was ready to dust the Supreme Kai for interfering in his Saiyan blood feud

Gohan flat out didn't understand what that shit was about. Can't blame him since he just half-Saiyan.

Yeah that was weird as fuck about Gohan. Turned that nigga into Blankman after those Cell fights.

Buu saga felt like a rehash of everything cool that happened in the series till that point. Even the Super Saiyan levels lost their novelty by then. Fusions were cool though.

The creator wanted Gohan to be the main and takeover from Goku he had been building up to it since Raddit thats why Gohan reaches his potential at the end of the Cell saga. He changed it due to fans wanting Goku as the lead.

Honestly Frieza was more scary feeling to me. Just because with Cell, there were plenty of points in time where they could have iced him, but failed or fucked up like
krillin just cause he was trying to get some robot pussy wtf
. Meanwhile on Namek they kept icing Frieza over and over again and he kept coming back like Jason and doing more horrible horrible shit. Plus the
dragon balls had died at that point in the story so it felt more for keeps.

Aw man, you for real? Goku needed to die off, his stupid ass. Gohan was the perfect blend too. Makes me second guess all of Buu Saga now; Cell saga would have been the best cut off point.

Frieza, to me, was the better villain. Dude was pure evil.

DBZ was a movement, you oldguys just happened to miss it.

Kids born from 1986-1993? That shit was everywhere. When he was in junior high, my brother got me the movies that hadn't come out in America from the japanese kid who had dubs on VHS for my 9th? birthday. Shit was awesome.

Hell yea man. I got seriously gassed up when a friend of mine bought me a box of DBZ trading cards with a foil in each pack (24 total) and that was the same birthday my parents hunkered down and bought me a PC of my own. The DBZ mania was real back then.

True, but then there's the fact that it was fucking Frieza. His voice sounded so grating in the English dub.

Plus, this:

I'd get nightmares over that shit brehs. That I'd get chased by Imperfect Cell and he'd suck me up while I laid there mercilessly hearing my mom screaming and crying my name.

Smh lmfao and Frieza was good but like Courage said his dub wasn't the most threatening but his ruthlessness was what made him. Cell on the other hand was just really creepy every transformation until his was perfect form was unsettling. It was like a reptile slowly turning into some kind of reptilian human hybrid.

I actually think Frieza had a good VA, kinda accented his purple swag effete genocidal maniac thing going on.

That 3rd Frieza form looked so fucking goofy tho...

It's not. It's kinda cool since it's more about the adventure and fighting styles, but I think Yu Yu Hakusho does what Dragon Ball does but a lot better/funnier.

the Gohan stuff got even more embarrassing when the GT stuff started. homie went from the second coming of Goku to being an over-protective dad.

Dragon Ball had that adventure and Japanese culture vibe strong. Hated it when I was really young, but when I hit 12 I appreciated it. Dat tournament.

Better than Z? Hell nah.

I didn't make it past Super 17 in GT. Once Goku when to Hell and started wrecking the dead Cell and Frieza, I was out.

didn't Goku fight a giant monkey for like 2 months in GT?

that whole series was one big acid trip.

Going from DBZ to Dragonball is like going from the decent resolution xvideos/xhamster shit we have today back to 2003-4; low speed internet, taking 40 minutes to download a 4 minute 28 second 240p clip of some chick getting her back blown out and holding on to that. We can't go back Kate.

Gaf-Hop has talked games and DBZ two days straight lmao.

Edit: going from DBZ to Dragonball is more like going from some serious dope hardcore porn to something more intimate like a solo vid or lesbian stuff. Kinda fun, but different completely.
