When it comes to the world of anime, Dragon Ball is one of the most popular series since over 3 and a half decades. Toei Animation and Akira Toriyama have been consistently providing amazing content for our beloved anime and manga series. What was supposed to initially end with the Frieza Saga is still going strong. The Universe Survival saga of Dragon Ball Super breathed new life into the series and fan have been rooting for more ever since. But now that Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has debuted in Japan and Dragon Ball Super is all set to return for season 2 really soon, the hype is back. So, what could be a better time to recap one of the most popular saga of the anime that happened during Dragon Ball Z?
Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu Saga Live Action Parody by Mega 64
While Dragon Ball Z’s Saiyan Saga and Frieza Saga are the epitome of Dragon Ball Franchise, Majin Buu saga is none of the most popular ones. Goku, Vegeta and Co, encountered the most devastating threat of all time in the form of Buu. Although, it was pretty stretched out, Buu saga is still one of the best sagas of Dragon Ball franchise with high stakes and a lot of deaths. But here, the saga that lasted over 60 Manga chapters and over 70 anime episodes has been reduced to 10 minutes parody video by Mega 64. The awesome thing here is that they barely missed out anything important, be it the tournament, Vegeta vs Goku, Gotenks, Vegito, or the destruction of Earth! Check it out yourself.
DBZ introduced us to its two most popular characters, the Saiyan Prince Vegeta, and Goku’s son Gohan. These two characters took the franchise to unprecedented heights and then came the two greatest DB villains of all time Frieza and Cell. That aside, Napa, Future Trunks, Android 17&18, Majin Buu, and loads of other memorable characters were introduced in this epic series. This series contains the iconic and most memorable anime scene where Goku finally achieves the dreaded Super Saiyan form against the battle with Frieza. If you are unaware, this is where Dragon Ball was originally supposed to end, but lucky for us we got a lot more!
All the characters in DBZ received insane development especially Goku, Vegeta and Gohan, who take the center stage in DBZ. Its only flaw was its overextended and tiring Majin Buu saga, which started off excellent but ended up being frustrating. But apart from this, DBZ was “Anime Gold” and something all of us Gen Z’s grew up watching. Even if you re-watch DBZ after DBS or DBGT, you’ll find it to be the most interesting, emotional, and engaging one among all. It may not be as high stakes as DBS but it succeeds in being full of heart, and is simply the best!
