Dragon Ball Watch Order: The Best Way to Experience Goku's Journey

When Should You Watch the Dragon Ball Series?

Hey! Want to catch all the amazing battles in Dragon Ball? They make this whole timeline pretty easy but there's a catch! They count years using "ages," and they might make you wonder "when exactly do they start?" Don't worry! We'll get you sorted!

Where Should I Start?

You want to watch Dragon Ball? It's in chronological order so the original Dragon Ball anime comes first, then you jump to Dragon Ball Z.

Is There a Specific Watch Order?

You'll be totally fine just going through them in release order! Dragon Ball started way back in 1986, and the Dragon Ball Z anime was a huge hit in 1989!
It seems a lot like what happens with other anime like One Piece, as those series just continue, building on what came before. The best part about these series is they even make a ton of cameos. We even got a new movie - Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.

So When Do I Watch "Dragon Ball Super"?

Okay! That one's pretty straight forward, Dragon Ball Super is actually in the middle of the series, too, since they did a lot of retconning of the Dragon Ball series! Think of it as how "Dragon Ball Super" makes sense of those details. And guess what? You should know, "Dragon Ball GT" doesn't really make the list of what's in the "canon." The makers really do want you to watch the series this way since Dragon Ball Super has become part of that super amazing universe we know and love.

But What About Dragon Ball Daima?

Fans really love Dragon Ball, so of course there’s more coming out. They've just confirmed this awesome new show - "Dragon Ball Daima,"! You'll find out that it takes place somewhere after Dragon Ball Super but they aren't giving away too much about it. It’ll just keep fans on their toes - and make them really hyped!

Keep in mind - all those cool transformations? Like Goku's Super Saiyan powers? We know about that from Dragon Ball Z and they all get more and more crazy as the story gets deeper! And these characters like Vegeta, Goku, Bulma - all those wild and awesome characters! - have a history and those fights and transformations just keep getting better and better! It really doesn't matter where you start because all of this crazy stuff ties into each other! But if you really want to experience everything in the perfect order, that watch list will get you there.

You're gonna have the most epic Dragon Ball adventures - filled with all those cool characters. Just don't forget those classic Dragon Ball Z characters!

This is going to be so much fun to catch up with this huge Dragon Ball universe and to really feel that magic with those amazing powers!
