welcome to another awesome video I've

noticed a bunch of comments recently and

for a while now asking about how to

watch the Dragon Ball series to be

honest I've been avoiding it because it

takes a lot of research to give a good

answer sorry for keeping you waiting but

the video is finally here and it's

mainly for those who are just starting

Dragon Ball this is the most recommended

way to watch the series so let's not

waste any more time let's starts with

dragon ball of 1986 once you finish it

watch these two movies curse of the

blood rubies and Sleeping Princess in

Devil's Castle it's time for Dragon Ball

Z starts with episodes 1 all the way to

episode 86 stop there and watch the

special of Bardock the father of Goku

then return to Dragon Ball Z and

continue from episodes 87 till 107 stop

once again and watch this special Dragon

Ball episode of Bardock then watch these

four movies the world's strongest the

Tree of Might Lord Slug in dead zone

let's continue with Dragon Ball Z from

episode 108 to 123 then we have another

special to watch which is the history of

trunks after that return to DBZ to watch

only 124 and 125 because there is a

movie to watch after that which called

Cooler's Revenge and then you can watch

also this OVA the world of Dragon Ball Z

now return to DBZ and watch from

episodes 126 to 146 stop there to watch

the movie Super Android 13 continue with

Dragon Ball Z from episodes 146 to 173

take a rest now to watch these two

movies The Return of Cooler and Broly

the Legendary Superion let's go back to

Dragon Ball Z from episodes 173 till 194

and now you guys have to watch a movie

it's called Bojack Unbound then DBZ from

episodes 194 to 207 I stopped here once

again for another movie Dragon Ball Z

Broly Second Coming return to Dragon

Ball Z from episode 207 till episode 250

then stop for this movie Dragon Ball Z

biob Broly continue with DBZ from

episodes 250 to 253 and it's time to

watch this movie Dragon Ball Z Fusion

Reborn then Dragon Ball Z from episodes

253 all the way to 288 you must stop to

watch the movie Dragon Ball Z Wrath of

the dragon and now let's continue the

remaining part of Dragon Ball Z which

from episode 288 to episode 291 because

it's time for Dragon Ball GT watch it

without any breaks even though it's not

part of the main story anymore it's like

a fun extra Adventure whether you decide

to watch it or not it's up to you but I

think you'll really like it then watch

the movie Dragon Ball the path to power

and the next step to do is you can watch

Dragon Ball zai what's the difference

between DBZ and Kai well they're

basically the same story the main

difference is fillers DBZ has it making

it longer Kai is closer to the manga and

cuts out the fillers choose Kai for a

streamline version or DBZ for the

original with extra content then we have

the OVA which called Dragon Ball Z plan

to destroy the Sagen now it's the right

time to start Dragon Ball super just

watch from episode 1 to episode 3 stop

there to watch the movie Battle of Gods

continue with super from episode 4 till

18 because you need to watch now the

movie Resurrection F return to Super

once again watch from episode 19 to 131

in this way Dragon Ball Super Series

ended there what's remaining to watch

next is the special of Dragon Ball super

Broly Sky Tree super

then Dragon Ball super movie Broly and

finish it with Dragon Ball super movie

superhero before we finish up let's talk

about Super Dragon Ball Heroes it's not

considered part of the main story

because it happens in a different

timeline just like the Xenoverse games

super Dragon Ball Heroes have its own

exciting Twist on the Dragon Ball World

it doesn't affect the main storyline but

it's still a lot of fun to experience if

you want to watch it make sure to follow

this universe Mission Big Bang mission

Mission and then Ultra God Mission

that's everything so far by the way you

can skip all the dragon ball movies as

they are either non-canon or partial

Cannon same goes for the ovas and

specials let's not forget Dragon Ball

daa an upcoming series that's set to

release in October 2024 daa is

considered Canon and fit to the timeline

of Dragon Ball so daa take place between

DBZ and super that's probably everything
