‘Dragon Ball’ series Watch Order
Dragon Ball without any doubt is one of the most liked and loved series of anime fans. If in case, you haven’t watched a single episode or read any of the manga, getting into the series can seem totally overwhelming! This is why I article this made for you to figure out the correct order to watch Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball is a huge media franchise consisting of Manga, Anime, Feature Films, and Video Games. In this article, we will talk about how to watch Dragon Ball in the best correct order.
What is Dragon Ball?
Initially, Manga (say a Japanese comic) written by Akira Toriyama and was later published by Shueisha. The Dragon Balls are seven magic orbs, each with a number of tiny glowing stars in them, with which all collected, a dragon can be summoned called Shenron. If you keeping watch Dragon Ball, you’ll find out that there are actually two dragons. Both can be summoned and they both grant wishes but their powers are different. Does this sound like bull shit? Well, sssh, never mind and don’t think about these things already. You’ll actually find this series way more interesting once you start watching it.
Continue with this article. Starting out with Goku, he is a young boy who is on a journey to gather the Dragon balls (The seven Magical orbs) and during his journey meets many of the characters who would later become staples to the franchise.

Should you watch Dragon Ball GT?
Dragon Ball GT mostly contains character-building arcs which are not very important. Most Dragon Ball fans don’t suggest you watching Dragon Ball GT. I also recommend you to skip this season and watch a few other seasons directly. You can watch it if you think you will miss something but it is rather not that necessary.
Which to watch? Dragon Ball Z Or Kai?
It does not matter which you watch because both are the same. The only difference is that the Kai is modified to make the series a little shorter by cutting some fight scenes.
As in the Dragon Ball Z series sometimes, a single fight can go up to 10 episodes, so these fights are made short. You can watch Kai as you will not miss any important details and can enjoy the show much more. So, this is my advice to watch the Kai series instead of Z.

Where can I watch Dragon Ball?
Well, there are some sites that allow you to watch Anime online. There are some paid online streaming services available (Which is generally preferred) but there are some other streaming platforms where we can watch anime online.
With the recent effect of legal copyright issues, all files are taken down by the copyright owners. Files and servers of pirated sites offering users watch Anime and read Manga were taken down forever due to Japan’s stricter copyright law. This means sites like KissAnime, KissManga can no longer operate unless they come under a new domain name (Which will actually be a great relief, at least for me.)
You can consider these platforms for watching the Dragon Ball series:
- Gogoanime (My favorite)
- Funimation
- Hulu
- Anime Lab
- Netflix
This is not it. If you want to enjoy reading, stay tuned with us and consider us for your future entertainment.
