The best is Cell Saga. :D

[Krpton]

Definetly the Frieza saga becuase this was about a low class saiya-jin who avenged all the saiyan-jins. Also Friza was the best bad guy in the history of DBZ/GT, he was ruthless, he didn't have a heart, he was in charge of the saiya-jins, he loved it when people feared him. Then Goku turns into the Legenderay Super Saiyan-jin after a few thousands of years to get revenge.
The Frieza saga would have been the best ending for DBZ, but I wouldn't have like that, then we would not see Bejita turn SSJ, fusions and the Cell Games.
But it would have been the perfect ending if DBZ did end after the Frieza battle, because the orginal ending was that Goku, the LSSJ avenged his planets the blow up with the destruction of Namek.

[Doomed_hero]

The cell Games where the best IMO, it had alot going on and was fast paced. Frieza saga is right there, but the figt with Goku and Freiza was just to drawn out.

[eledoremassis02]

The fight with Vegeta and Goku *Old Z* Was pretty good. I'm just glad they do more martial arts again

[Super Saiyan]

The Androids/Cell Saga. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/VisorBoy/grin.gif

[Elijya]

I wouldn't really call captain ginyu a "saga", you're just going by the videos funimation released. that whole thing was what? 5, 6 episodes?

[Nathan]

The best Saga? That has to be the Freezer Saga.

Legendary Super Saiyajins were still Legendary back then.

[Elijya]

who is the freezer you speak of?

[Nathan]

You call him Frieza, and we here in Europe Freezer ok?

[Elijya]

huh. didn't know that. weird.

and you called Aeris Aerith. WTF is wrong with you brits?

[Dark Carnage]

Actually, I believe the original spelling was Furiza. But I think Frieza is the best.

Not brit, german.

And we're just as screwed up as you.

[Elijya]

plus, you're all into scat


:D

[Nathan]

I don't know what you meant just now. And that translator of mine doesn't help much.

[Elijya]

I was teasing, don't worry about it

[Nathan]

What did I ever do to you? :(

[Elijya]

absolutely nothing. I was just making a tease about germans

[Nathan]

I know. :cool:

[litlgreendude]

i liekd the sayin saga.... the frieza saga was okay too.

[litlgreendude]

Not brit, german.

And we're just as screwed up as you.


ich can duetch spression... Mina mama ist fon Koln( i can speak it fluently... cant spell it.)

[ElectroFlare]

Definatley the Frieza saga. After that, it gets stupid, cause Frieza was supposed to be the most powerful in the universe. Okay, cell had a somewhat lame excuse, but buu's concept overall sucks. And the other sagas were too short, the sayjin saga i mean. Frieza did it right...cell was stupid, buu was just a fat idiot who would change after eating enough people(weird).

Maybe I just have something against villians who can revive from a single cell...

[xScarletSpiderx]

Well depending on your translation, Frieza's name could actually be Freezer or Furiza. Just depends.

[Boom]

The Cell Saga is arguably the best.

Cell was such a badass.

[Hawkeye3500]

Cell all the way. Nothing tops Cell as the ultimate villain.

[Gogeta36]

I would have to say the Frieza saga was the best mostly because it was so long and the it was more about every body reaching new levels insted of it just being the Goku show!!!

[Fred_Fury]

Cell Saga all the way. It was just too bad ass.

[Super_Child]

I'm Torn between Freiza and the Android/Cell saga those two had the best action and depth in story.

[Odin's Lapdog]

the first and best one if you're considering everything.

[vegeta21]

Cell? Frieza? Buu? Puh-lease! These guys can't even hold a candle to the ultimate Dragon Ball villain...


EMPEROR PILAF!!! :D

[Goldenage Batman]

Mine is the Frieza saga and Trunks saga. Them were the two that got me hooked.

[Super Kal]

You guys totally missed the Buu saga. I mean COME ON!! nothing beats SS3 power and fusion!
Lets look at it this way:
Saiyan Saga: gets it's due for being the first DBZ saga, but horribly drawn

Namek saga and Captain Ginyu saga: all they did basically was look for the dragonballs

Frieza saga: repetitive fighting clips and WAY TOO MUCH TALKING, not to mention the whole friggin thing was like 20 hours long!

Garlic Jr Saga: completely BORING. Just took up space.

Androids saga: Introduced Trunks, my fav character, but also had some bad drawing in it as well

Cell saga: introduces the Hyperbolic Time Chamber ans Super Saiyan 2 Gohan:pretty cool from the start, but the whole cell game theory was a big joke.

Buu Saga:the best I have ever seen. Introduces Fusion, Super Saiyan 3, Buu, and Goten. Provided plenty of fighting as well as some humor through Gotenks. Not to mention the HUGE human Genki-Dama at the end that destroyed Buu. Great way to end a show!

[Guyverjay]

Bah the freiza saga and especially the Cell saga blows the **** out of the Buu saga. Though the final fight between Goku and Kid Buu did make me **** my pants at its greatness:D

[Super Kal]

No way! Everything AFTER the Cell Saga was basically reaching a climax to the last battle, like you said, so everything leading up to that battle just got better and better

[Guyverjay]

Bah one battle doesn't make a saga:o

The cell saga had Piccollo vs 17, Goku vs Cell, USSJ trunks, Gohan turning SSJ2. It had it all!!!!

[ss4goku53]

True cell had it all but Buu had a lot as well.....SSJ3, Fusion (two kinds), Mystic Gohan, etc. ( it isn't a perfect saga but i think it was good none the less)

[Super Kal]

Piccolo vz 17 was absolutely BORING. I personally dont want to see two minor characters go at it.

Goku vs Cell wasnt too popular to me because parts of it was poorly drawn

USSJ Trunks was overdone. I like Truks and all, but I dont want a character who looks like he OD'd on steroids.

Super Saiyan 2 Gohan was pretty cool, but why not take it up another notch? lets go to Super Saiyan 3! Now you got the hair that with one swipe could take off a man's head with all those spikes.

[ss4goku53]

Piccolo isn't a minor character especially after joining with Kami. He was now back up there with Goku and the gang in strength. 17 had to be there for the perfection of cell which made him a big part. SSJ3 is cool but that would have been way too soon and way too big of a jump to go 3 in that saga.

[Super Kal]

Im gonna stick with what i originally said: Buu Saga all the way

[Guyverjay]

Picollo a MINOR character??

Bwhahahahahahahaha...Your opinion no longer has any weight now:(

[Odin's Lapdog]

The cell saga had Piccollo vs 17, Goku vs Cell, USSJ trunks, Gohan turning SSJ2. It had it all!!!!

Just for this one post, i'll let you bash Jason and Super 17 without any repercussions for the next month...

i think i've fallen in love with you...

:o

Was there ever any repercussions?:confused:

[War Lord]

The Cell saga was the best saga because Hercule got brained.

[Super Kal]

Picollo a MINOR character??

Bwhahahahahahahaha...Your opinion no longer has any weight now:(What I MEANT to say is that Piccolo became a minor-major character. He was more important in Bragonball because he was a villain. Dragonball Z is based more upon The lives of Goku and his family.

Besides I hate Piccolo anyways...

[Odin's Lapdog]

Was there ever any repercussions?:confused:

the repercussions are that you get to talk to me:(

[spider-jide]

All the sagas were great apart from that retarded garlic jr saga.

[Super Kal]

oh god i TOTALLY agree with you on that. when I saw that, I thought they mistook it for part of the series. I actually thought it was more of a movie sequel to Dead Zone

[vegeta21]

I know its not technically DBZ, but I think the piccolo saga should be up there.

[Langoth]

My favorite Saga would have to be the Frieza Saga.

Close runner up being the Cell Saga.

Cell and Frieza were just awesome villains.

I liked Super Buu, but the Buu saga as a whole was just not as good in quality. (SSJ3 looks kinda stupid in my opinion, but whatever)

Piccolo vs. 17 was just badass, very badass.

Piccolo because a minor character in GT, and still held a role in the Buu saga.

He was very major until the end of Cell. I'm disappointed he was handled so poorly during and after Buu. I get tired of "saiyan saiyan saiyan", Piccolo was always a nice breather for me, knowing the guy kicking the **** ouf of the villain, was not a monkey.

Piccolo vs. 2nd Form Frieza Rocked

Piccolo vs. 17, also rocked.

My favorite Battle in DBZ would probably be Piccolo vs. Cooler's team. Movies don't count however, lol.

But yes, best saga, definately Frieza Saga, best storyline of the sagas. Cell came close, and I love Cell, but he's just not the same.

[Batman Beyond]

I agree. Buu saga is very mediocre in comparison to the rest of DBZ. Especially just before Buu absorbs Gotenks SSJ3.

Now lets see... The whole panel is wrong, I think. I think that Freeza saga was one saga all along, one unique story - from episode one to to 90something. Freeza may not be mentioned, but like Cell, makes his appearence forward afterwards, and all the better for it.

So, its Freeza saga, Garlic Jr. saga, Android/Cell saga, and Buu saga.

From worst to best:

4)Buu saga - This has got to be Toriyama's worst. Not completely stupid or unwatchable, not by any means - GT gets the credit for that. The beggining of this thing is very nice, promising. It has an eerie feeling with Kaioshin, Kibito and Babidi and the mystery of Buu. Up until Vegeta died, it was perfectly fine - it rocked. Suffering, though, from DBZ (essentially, Toryiama's) own divulgance into the Super Saiya-jin thing and going too far beyond established ultimate power (which was supposed to have been Freeza, originally), but that was to be expected, I guess. Anyway, suffering from that over the topness, some good drama came out - Vegeta's character finally came full circle, and his noble sacrifice was better than anyone could ask for. Gohan finally achieves his full hidden power and becomes, by Buu saga's end, the strongest person in the universe. Dragonball's kid friendly elements kind of return with Goten and Trunks, who provide some fun time. Kuririn and 18 end up together, and Satan finally proves his usefulnes as the "World Champion". And some of the series' most famous actions scenes are here - in fact, three of my favorite battles are here. Majin Vegeta vs. Goku, Mystic Gohan vs. Buu (not Super Buu, before Gotenks), and Goku SSJ3 vs. Kid Buu. BUT, and thats a big but... For all its goods, its very apparent that DBZ has jumped the shark, quite a bit. Some of the most ridiculous story decisions are also made to make way for more ridiculusnes, and pointlessnes alltogether. For example, the saga was perfectly fine up until Buu left his fight with Gohan and an hour later absorbed Gotenks SSJ3 and Piccolo to become stronger. From that point, I tell you, the series lost it. I mean, Goku came back to life, Vegeta returned as a dead man and fused with Goku, the two then entered Buu's body, rescued the others, and then, they left the others die so they could save themselves from Earth's destruction by Buu, then all led to were Goky won against Buu with a giant Genki Dama. If one has seen Buu saga thoroughly, you can see the rushness - Toriyama decided to bring back Goku very late in the process and that shows. I understand that Gohan was supposed to have been the one to put Buu away, and all things pointed there, too. And that makes the story very twisted, in a bad way. Plus, some of the characters really annoy - ie, Goku, who I always liked, by the time he comes back to life, acts like a complete and utter jerk, all the time. Neither Yamcha nor Kuririn serve any purpose, and thats sad, really. And most of all, the villain, Buu, is quite bland and one-dimensional. I like that at first he's unlike anyone's expecting - its a great twist. But from the moment he turns muscular, he's just plain "I'll kill you!". No depth, no nothing. Back on the story as a whole, there are ways it could've been resolved as it did, but still NOT feel as rushed out as it did. For this reason, this lack of scope and overal, because the story just wasn't as good as the other sagas, Buu is the worst of DBZ. There are still good things about it-really, there are, as pointed out. But as a whole, Buu saga is very uneven... For one thing, you don't fele you're watching DB, but rather, the "Super Saiya-jin Show".

3)Garlic Jr. - Surpised, surprised?! I know it ain't a pick, it ain't even taken seriously, and most of all, it ain't Toriyama pened. But I like for several reasosn - One, no Goku. Otherwise it'd have been ridiculusly predictable. Second, side characters like Kami, Piccolo, Kuririn, Karin and Mr. Popo had a significant appearence in the story, and weren't just to say "oh, things have gone way past us now!" like they repeatedly do in Buu saga. And Gohan is actually doing something - he's struggling to have a life outside reading, and on the battle, he has to figure out Piccolo and Kuririn's plans. And Garlic Jr. himself is a bit more interesting a villain than Buu, simply because he ain't just a cardboard character. He has an actual goal that goes beyond just death and destruction. He's more akin to Freeza and the original Vegeta then either Cell or Buu. I understand why people don't like it-its contradicting, a little, with the canon, since it follows a movie when it shouldn't. But I like it more than Buu. Maybe because it took a liberty of having Gohan save the world, based on his anger and hidden power. Of course, the whole ridiculus Marron story brought the saga down - a real bimbo! While drawn as hot, she was really annoying, most of the time. And the story as is is just a retread from the first DBZ movie, "Dead Zone", but with no Goku around. And the fact that Garlic Jr. somehow rose to Piccolo/Freeza's power level (on his second form, is just plain silly. I like it, just a bit more than Buu. Its a nice break between Freeza and Buu.

2) Freeza saga - The series' undeniable best. The story that Toriyama actually originally intended on ending the DB series, for ever. Its also the most mature DB has ever been. So much character development, its astonishing. Revelation of Goku's origins, and afterwards Piccolo's (And subsequently, Dragonball's origin too), Piccolo's change, Goku's maturity, Gohan and his abrupt upbringing, all that and more... Most of all, as mentioned, Dragonball's greatest villain, Freeza... Just perfect. The ultimate villain. No Cell or Buu ever graced the character's depth. He was the ultimate tyrant, and he showed it when demanded. The most rightly feared villain, and actually the last "natural" villain. I say this, because both Buu and Cell have been created-one way or another. So in that sense, Freeza is his own man - a self made man. I can;t go because I'll tire if I haven't already. Anywho, this is the time when SSJ meant something, and the saga's climactic conclusion is staggering. And the last time the Dragonballs were an integral part of the story. Its really the end of DBZ.

1) Cell Saga - Freeza saga may be DBZ's best, but Cell saga is my favorite by a very close margin. Reason for this, is the storyline. I really love the storyline with the androids so much, I can't describe it. Also, my favorite DBZ character, Future Trunks, really makes the show what it is. Again, liberties are taken here, and yet, even if it wasn't originally conceived as such, Toriyama found a brilliant way to continue the seemingly concluding Freeza saga with this, but tieing the new villains way back to DB and the infamous Red Ribbon saga. Also, character development once again - SSJ for everyone, Piccolo finally merging with his father's other half, Dende coming over to Earth, Gohan's maturity and also Goku's, and finally, Goku's death. I think that, while his death with Raditz was heroic, I believe this one had an emotional weight never before seen in the series. Plus, the story's so compelling... I just love time-travel stories, you know. No matter how they can always be unbelievable, if handled well, like in here, they can fascianating! Thats the reason that I love this. And because everyone seems to have a fair chance against Cell. Cell's cool, BTW. No Freeza, but cool nonetheless. Still better than Buu and Garlic. Jr.

Well, thats my randown for DBZ. I've left out a whole lot of stuff out of my thoughts, but I fear I've tired you.

Sorry if I did.

What do you think, nonetheless?

[Warhammer]

The poll sucks.
The sagas are too vague. They need to be split up.
I'm making a new thread for this.

[Batman Beyond]

Just please, make sure you divide them like I did. Freeza saga is really one story from the first episode and on, and the rest as also stories of their own.

[Taiwarriorz21]

Frieza Saga hands down. Very dramatic and deep.

[BloodyWolverine]

What no Cell saga or Majin Buu saga? You are not a true Dragonball Z fan if you didn't like it when Vegeta helped Gohan beat Cell. Or when Vegeta blew himself up sacrificing himself to stop Buu. Or when Vegeta and Goku finally became friends and fused together. From Cell games to Kid Buu great ending to a cartoon series.

This is an old thread.
Look for version 2.

[Sakuraba]

From the time the Earthlings touched down on Namek till the planet blew up, that I consider one saga. And it was easily the best.

[xwolverine2]

frieza saga is a ****ing masterpiece....

[SLVRSR4]

Cell saga gotta love androids

[COMPO]

my favourite saga was the great saiyaman. LOL!

[pointman]

frieza saga is a ****ing masterpiece....

I wouldn't call it a ,asterpiece but it was pretty damn good, alogside, the cell saga.

[narutofan236]

Captain Ginyu Saga

[Vegeta #1]

The best was DBGT the Evil Shenlong(Shenron) saga

[Captain Kirk]

The best was DBGT the Evil Shenlong(Shenron) saga:o Hell, no! GT sucks ass! I have to agree with many of you and say the Frieza saga. The human characters were still able to fight with the Saiya-Jins. Damn I can't choose just one because the Cell saga was great with Gohan going SSJ 2. The Buu saga had the total bad ass Majin Vegeta, and SSJ 3 Goku(my favorite SSJ stage!). There's too much goodness to pick just one! But GT should die a slow painful death!:cmad:

[Warhammer]

The best sagas were:

- Android Saga
- Cell Games Saga
- World Tournament Saga
- Babidi Saga

[cabel]

has anyone picked up the new Vegeta saga box set?

[Gotenks]

Im about to I hear it only like 25 dollars.

[Captain Kirk]

has anyone picked up the new Vegeta saga box set?Yes, I love it!:woot: The japanese BGM in the english dub kicks it up to a whole new level of quality! The show plays out in a far more serious tone with the Japanese tracks; for example there are many moments where there is no music tracks ,and the voice dialogue takes center stage. This is important to remember, because if you compare the tone to the previous dubbed episodes there is no moment where there is not an over the top music score. This version gives the show a more mature feel. There are still some script errors which bug me for example; ( Radtiz tells Goku that planet Vegeta was destroyed only three years previous, but the Burdock special shows Goku as an infant at the time) Beyond that I am very pleased with the set, and $30 for 39 episodes its a great deal. The widescreen issue is negligible, and I didn't even notice it! Damn good set!

[cabel]

I just finished the disc 4.

I've been watching the majority in jap. with subtitles. I try watching the dub, but some lines are just some lines are so cheesy/unnecessary/stupid that I can't bear it.

I didn't think it was possible for dialogue to make a game of russian roullete cheesy.

I'd wish there was more extras though. Nothing major, maybe interviews and commentaries with voice actors.

Otherwise I've been falling in love with the series all over again. The namek/freiza sagas are supposed to be out in May.

[Warhammer]

I will buy the entire revamped Android saga, entire Cell sagas (which will come in one pack), and the World Tournament/Babidi saga.

:up: :up: :D

[jmk_4000]

i dont know its hard to tell i gess bur because thats what got me hooked after that ive seen 98%of the show

[Alexia Dark]

I'm talking about the manga here... as far as know, most of it is the same as the dubbed English series...

My favorite has to be the Frieza saga. Many characters involved, all in a new place, an awesome new move, and an amazing final battle. But I hated that Goku didn't actually get to kill Frieza, though. Goku killing Frieza was a symbolic, logical thing. He was the only person who should have done it; he was pure Saiyan, and he was a true hero. Vegeta couldn't do it, he was too selfish. His motive was nothing but revenge for being tricked; he didn't even care that his planet had been destroyed, that his subjects had been killed, that almost his entire species had died. For all his 'Saiyan pride', he only cared about being the best.

I also really liked the Cell saga. Trunks is a great character. He's like Goku in a lot of ways, though smarter and less goofy. I just wish that Cell had done more to Hercule. That character irks me to no end. I wanted him to get his ass kicked so thoroughly, he admits that he is nothing, and crawls on his hands and knees until he's beaten to a pulp and Kamekameha'd into outer space :).

[Cmill216]

Not sure how I like the organization of the sagas. I've always lumped a few of these mini-sagas together based on the overall villain involved:

- The Saiyan Saga (everything pre-Namek)
- The Frieza Saga (including Namek and Ginyu)
- The Android Saga (including Trunks and before Imperfect Cell)
- The Cell Saga (Imperfect Cell through the games)
- The Buu Saga (tournament through the end)

The Saiyan saga was a solid way to start, but lacked the "oomph" of future arcs. The Buu Saga just killed things for me with everyone being a Super Saiyan and just about everyone being god-like figures.

The Frieza Saga opened the universe to the characters and had some great fights, but I just wasn't too thrilled with how it was paced.

Which leaves the Androids and Cell. And to be honest, I have a hard time picking between them so I'll take 'em both. The sheer amount of brilliant moments within this chunk of episodes blew me away back in the day (Vegeta's glorious transformation into a Super Saiyan, the sheer dread the Androids induced, the fight between Goku and Cell, Gohan's unleashing). I could go on.

Those 73 episodes just put a smile on my face.

[Warhammer]

^Yes.
The Android and Cell Sagas (overall) are the best.
Buu kills some good parts of DBZ.

[Cmill216]

The two best parts of that entire Buu fiasco were the Goku/Vegeta fight and the early Goten/Trunks fight. And to be honest, neither of those events really had anything to do with the major villain of that arc, which is sad.

[Warhammer]

Buu Saga redeems itself for me when during the World Tournament.
The Babidi Saga was such a great little bit of the Buu Saga.
The tension, and the eventual lead up to Goku vs. Majin Vegeta.

Then, we had Gohan receive training and reach full-potential. Since Gohan is my favorite, there is bias there. Buu got stale, though.
He stayed out too long and didn't have the staying power that Cell did.

[Vegeta123]

Android Saga for me
