I will DIE glazing Dragon Ball's pre-Saiyan saga art style. Everything just felt so lively whimsy, especially earth's world building. You'll never catch Goku talking to dolphins anymore 😞!!
Dragon Ball will be the best forever..kid Goku stealed our mind and soul..Original Dragon Ball takes away your soul to another dimension without Whis and Instant transmission...
Dragon Ball truly is underrated. I even bought the box set not too long ago, as tribute to Toriyama. Pretty sure I heard from somewhere that DB was always his favorite compared to Z and the other incarnations thereafter. It’s also why he was so closely invested in Dragon Ball Daima, because it’s a tribute to Dragon Ball all over again.
The first battle shonen was Kinnikuman, and the first wildly popular one in the west was Hokuto no Ken. But Dragonball IS the most influential of them all
I love how Roshi says it takes 50 years to master the Kamehameha wave, and then Goku, Tien, Krillin, and Fat Buu all were shown doing it on their first try. Yamcha and Gohan learned it off screen, but it was probably just as easy for them too.
i didn’t even know OG dragon ball was a thing until I searched up how to properly watch the anime in order. watched the first 22 episodes of it so far and its fye
I personally don't think ogdb is Filler but I don't like Filler which is why I'd rather read the manga (I started from chapter 1 of db and am currently and the beginning of the manga version of dbs super hero that takes place before the movie
It’s like you came right on time. I was one of the many who slept on DB even when it came on CN. All I needed to know was Kid Goku and the main crew. I didn’t realize how deep the rabbit hole went. Plus, if you go by the red ribbon army arc, especially the movie version, it’s amazing how much it inspired the cell saga. Kind robots that a Son family member respects. Said robot dies causing said Son to explode with rage. “Tournament” held to defeat an evil mastermind. Wasn’t prepared for all the “stuff” with Bulma but different culture I suppose. Then I realized Wukong was coming out right around the corner and I said, ain’t this a coincidence 😂
Arguably, Dragonball as a whole builds up to and peaks at the Goku vs Vegeta fight in the Saiyan Saga, then it slowly declines. Meaning most people miss some of the better parts of the series.
He thought he was 14 at the start of the series but later it turns out he's actually 12 and is just really bad at counting. Also Oolong is 9 years old when he first appears which you would never guess if you watched the series in English.
As someone who watched it recently, OG dragon ball has aged well (mostly) and seriously the smack talk is insane! I feel like in more modern animes they wouldn’t dare to do that unless there’s the tsundere character or something… I know it’s not OG but in DBZ when Yamcha and Bulma talk to each other it’s so funny cuz they spend most of their time talking like a couple on a reality show. It’s toxic to the point of entertainment XD
Lmao facts as someone who grew up around dbz & db gt I still went and started at the OG series since I had got old enough to know what’s going on and where to watch it & I gotta say, that’s definitely my favorite DB series!
i recently watched this entire series, they didn't show the whole series when i was a kid...its awesome, got the entire series on DVD for like $25 on ebay.
Goku is 12-14 at the beginning of Dragon Ball. He says he's 14 in the first volume of the manga. The anime is a little more confusing regarding his age, tho
The OG is the best of Dragon ball z as far as I'm concerned. I've not watched the recent ones that much because I often fall asleep watching it. But the OG had a lovely pace overall and was fun to watch all way. Goku was innocent, but never dumb. The new one are just comically ridiculous to me and it seems more as if it's a d**k measuring contest between mangakas on who has the strongest bosses and heroes
It's almost unfair to call Dragonball just a battle shonen, it was more than that, mostly because Toriyama was a Gag writer, Dragonball was a gag take on martial arts stories, specifically Journey to the West's Sun Wukong, with a whole lot of heart. The story had an emotional core, but Toriyama's off the cuff decisions without thinking steps ahead and planting foreshadowing actually made Dragonball moments far more interesting and out of the box. Remember being true to it's roots, Dragonball isn't about plot points and plot events, but about the journey.
*12 not 8. Also you are looking into the Kamehameha scene too deeply. Dragon Ball wasn't about martial arts until after the first arc. Goku learning his signature move so quick and easy was for nothing but a JOKE. Especially when you realize that it was supposed to end after the first wish.
Did you read it it or watch it? Because some scenes in the anime may have made it a bit longer than the manga obv. But also one aspect that the anime does better is the journey to the ultra divine water, in the manga korin tells Goku if it’s past, and how no one has survived, then gives it to Goku. Obv Goku knows this could ultimately kill him, but does it as he has no other choice, but the manga is really awesome, it shows toriyamas great art work. But yes the anime dub is awesome!

Tenshinhan fan = Based
The art style during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai was my favorite.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way about the art
@@kenkong007 its the same bro
@@ilyas_claymore Live, laugh, Love, Tenshinhan. Yamcha and Tien will always be my favorites, no matter how badly they get run through the dirt
I’m really happy that you’ve finally realised how great DB was, so many people sleep on it and just skip to dbz
Ye dragon ball is really fun watch
Forget that, there’s an unfortunate amount of people who sleep on Dragon Ball as a whole. There’s a REASON it’s so influential even today.
It bugs me that people do that! Watching dragonball first makes DBZ like 100x better
Dragon Ball will be the best forever..kid Goku stealed our mind and soul..Original Dragon Ball takes away your soul to another dimension without Whis and Instant transmission...

This was at a time when a human vouldnt control ki so yea it took him decades to undedstanf it
@@wingedhussar1453 yeah…. Sure…
@@TheUKisThere… did you watch the show?
@@TTInfiniteGaming no excuses
@@TheUKisThere ok buddy
I miss Launch

I can't believe you've been sleeping on dragon ball of all things
Ikr
Goku was 12 at the beginning, not 8. (Great vid tho)
Looking at the thumbnail thinking “that chick looks like Launch. I wonder what anime he’s talking about”
0:55 it's because Americans started the story halfways and a lot still refuse to watch the start thinking it's "filler" for no reason xD
That’s not even true lol
I personally don't think ogdb is Filler but I don't like Filler which is why I'd rather read the manga (I started from chapter 1 of db and am currently and the beginning of the manga version of dbs super hero that takes place before the movie
@@Mari_Izu Nobody calls it filler. People dont tend to watch it for 3 reasons. Its a comedy, the stakes are far lower, and Goku is a kid.
Toriyama made Goku do the kamehameha on his first try...
Because it was funny.
Toriyama made stuff up as he went along. lol
I think it was a play on the whole Monkey See Monkey Do thing
Regardless, it’s a part of his character.
the 23rd tenkaichi budokai is peak db tbh

OG DB is more adult than DBZ.

DB is my favorite anime grew up watching it watched DB then DBZ And DBS
I absolutely love OG Dragon Ball. I often rewatch Season 1.
0:23 wasn’t he 12
Yeah
He thought he was 14 at the start of the series but later it turns out he's actually 12 and is just really bad at counting.
Also Oolong is 9 years old when he first appears which you would never guess if you watched the series in English.
Reason #176 why the Japanese version is far better@@ginogatash4030
Good times back when martial arts, not power levels, was the primary focus.
Dragon Ball started as a comedy which is why the story shifts at a certain point
As someone who watched it recently, OG dragon ball has aged well (mostly) and seriously the smack talk is insane! I feel like in more modern animes they wouldn’t dare to do that unless there’s the tsundere character or something… I know it’s not OG but in DBZ when Yamcha and Bulma talk to each other it’s so funny cuz they spend most of their time talking like a couple on a reality show.

My guy is back
Good thing they aired DB from the success of Z because then I realized how fun DB is
Finally, someone watches the og.
Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are goated
Nga WHAT is that intro 💀💀💀
Lmao it's so funny
Bro's taking it all in
pause
@@EnderGoku9001 ayooooooooo
launch was a baddie even with yellow or blue hairs
I also watch the whole entire series too! I finished the series 2 weeks ago, and OG Dragon Ball is the best! 😎
It's crazy that Americans watched DBZ before dragon ball. It's like starting the avenger movies with endgame.
Lmao facts as someone who grew up around dbz & db gt I still went and started at the OG series since I had got old enough to know what’s going on and where to watch it & I gotta say, that’s definitely my favorite DB series!
Not just Americans-many South Americans, Europeans, and a ton of other regions/nationalities started off with Z before the original too lol.
i recently watched this entire series, they didn't show the whole series when i was a kid...its awesome, got the entire series on DVD for like $25 on ebay.
I’ma be honest, DB has always been so fun to watch.
OG dragon ball is my favorite db show
Goku is 12-14 at the beginning of Dragon Ball. He says he's 14 in the first volume of the manga. The anime is a little more confusing regarding his age, tho
more like 11-12 and then 15-18
When goku first said his age he thought he was 14, but after roshi taught him to count he realised that he is 12.
He's 12. Toriyama retconned it so that goku didn't realize he was 12 until roshi taught him how to count past 10
They pronounce Kamehameha wrong in the early dubs. It's "Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha" (like it's said when performed) everywhere else.
Glad you enjoyed it! Dragon Ball is my favorite!
For anyone interested in watching it, I recommend Dragon Ball Recut, a fan cut which removes the anime-only scenes.
OH HELL NO!🤮
The anime parts is what makes the show better
The OG is the best of Dragon ball z as far as I'm concerned. I've not watched the recent ones that much because I often fall asleep watching it. But the OG had a lovely pace overall and was fun to watch all way. Goku was innocent, but never dumb.
The new one are just comically ridiculous to me and it seems more as if it's a d**k measuring contest between mangakas on who has the strongest bosses and heroes
Dragon Ball was much more comedic from the start it's present in every continuation but a lot less
goku was 11 at the start of db
I don't speak pain😂😂😂
Brooooo yaaaay I’ve been waiting for you to post again your videos are awesome keep it up bro
thanks man
Ok wtf was that tho 5:14 lmao

A notification in the first 3 seconds😅..
Man, I really love your content, I wonder why there is only 15 people who had washed this video..
It takes a while usually
Ki isn't really explained much because it's just common sense over in Japan. Everyone already knows what Ki is so explaining it would be pointless.
General Tao looks like Oskar Dirlewanger

Watch the AB Groupe release. It’s the perfect DB release
What does the eng dub have to do with Toriyama?
Did I say that?
Good video
0:35 goku is actually 11 and not 8 at the start
My mistake. It's just hard to keep track with all the time skips and goku staying the same height fior the most part
Yeah it is kinda difficult but in the second budechi tencai he is a bit taller than krillen now
Did you read it it or watch it? Because some scenes in the anime may have made it a bit longer than the manga obv.

Big fan of Yamcha in og
goku is actually 11 during the first 3 arcs. not 8, not 15, 11.
agree with alot of the points but its pretty displeasing the way you edit everything to be just be shaky yk
I will take that into consideration
Bro goku ain’t 15 at the beginning he’s like 10 😂
Yeah but have you read One Piece?
I have. I also have 1 one piece video. It is controversial tho
Yea like dragon ball I started this series trying to finish it first then go to dbz
in the anime he is 13 or 14 i cant remamber
He tells Bulma he's 14, but he's actually around 11-12.
Db is mid as hell and overhyped
