15 Things Dragon Ball Super Does Better Than DBZ 

Ah yes here we go~ *Gets popcorn and goes to read comment section*

I personally liked the two first Broly Movies. The Bio Broly thing... ahhh let's not talk about that. That never happend, ok?

Dragon Ball Z was a pure masterclass and possibly the greatest piece of television ever produced

Dragon Ball super’s animation was actually good after the 1st two arcs

Nothing beats DBZ Abridged tho......

Seriously, the non-cannon Broly turned into his Legendary Super Saiyan form just because he saw Goku.

Dbz is just a plain masterpiece,,, Super, while having it’s moments just can’t compare to the pure awesomeness of akira’s best creation.

Everyone else: Freaks out over Trunks's hair being blue. Me: Oh cool he dyed his hair.

I love how when it came to trunks, vegeta had no hesitation giving his energy away unlike the times when he's asked to give goku his energy

if we listen carefully this guy is giving dbz more points

I also loved how they were able to make things out of their Ki. Like that time Golu planted landmines for Jiren and stuff.. Or making weapons out of Ki. I think those were cool.

i prefer the DBZ Series because the characters didn't playing around like DBS series.

DB: Krillin is a Fighter in his prime.👍 DBZ: He is very helpful at time by assisting either Goku or Gohan DBS: Why are you making him weak? 🤦‍♂️

You forgot that they brought back the kaioken technique

Unpopular opinion: “The Pilaf Gang is a fun and entertaining trio and they‘re good helpers for Bulma”

Idk what y'all were talking about with female saiyans. The way they became super Saiyan and the way their arc went is one of the biggest let downs, causing for finally having female saiyans, but them just being lame

I don't care how long it takes for super to return just as long as we get longer arcs and better story telling

No offense but here’s my reasons why DBZ is better than Dragon Ball Super: - brutally, dismemberment, and blood spilling - Videl as a badass Tomboy - Gohan grown from a scared kid to a warrior with potential - Piccolo as a more prominent character - Vegeta’s anti hero role with some badass one liners - Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin being relevants throughout the arcs, except the Buu Saga - Bruce Fauconer’s scores - Emotional and dramatic moments that makes us fans tear up. - Intense battles and destruction - Future Trunks’s muscular tone and purple hair - Pikkon and the other world combatants - Non-Canon villains from movies (Cooler, DBZ Broly, Hirudegarm, Janemba, etc) - Frieza Saga - Son Goku given a more noble/heroic role than his original continuity. - King Kai’s Training - Z-Fighters vs the Ginyu Force - TV Specials (Bardock: The Father of Goku and the History of Trunks) that are tied to the main arcs -Bardock with his green armor and his badass red bandanna.

Honestly, one of my favorite parts about Super was the calmer moments and the conversations some characters had with each other. Bulma talking to Jaco and Goku and Jaco and that squid interacting and Goku and Vegeta talking about how they love the fiercer sides of Bulma and Chichi, with Vegeta revealing that it's because of their Saiyan blood while Piccolo is having a crisis in the background, or when Goku and 17 talked in that island before the tournament and Goku straight up said that he wasn't a hero and all that. These conversations are really interesting and it's fun to see these characters interacting like this. I feel like in Z the world was just CONSTANTLY in danger and there wasn't much time to slow things down and focus on these kind of things but Super does that really well.

I knew the comment section was gonna be epic after he talked down Z like that

Videl really needs to come back as a tomboy martial artist we all know and love

Master Roshi being a pervert is a thing that should not be took away

When your confused about DBZ then you move on to DBS, everything makes more sense.

Master Roshi bein' a perv is hilarious tho.

Dragon ball Z had alot of slice of life moments like when the 7 year time skip ended and there were those episodes where gohan went to high school,or the 10 day period while waiting for the cell games,when goku and his family hung out and went to places together

One thing dbz does better than super: being a better series

Judging by the Thumbnail I thought this was gonna be about how it has better animation.

Android 17 being a good guy saving his universe was worth every bit of super being just as good as any dragon ball z material. He was awesome to see him fight and improve and not be bantha fodder for cell.

*How dare you say something to controversial and yet so brave*

in contrast: top 100 thing dbz does better than dbs

Most of the humor that he mentioned was in like, filler episodes.

Let’s be perfectly clear though. #2 as described isn’t “raising the stakes” from a narrative perspective. That entire bit is just crediting super for having “stronger” foes and greater jumps in power leveling/scaling. Because to say that DBS “raises the stakes” better or more than DBZ is really hard to argue considering that’s one of DBZ’s greatest strengths. Considering the framing of Dragonball coming into Z you have things like Goku immediately fighting for for the life of his young son teaming up with the big bad of the previous series and giving up his life to do it, saving the earth from the saiyans, traveling to Namek and preventing Frieza a galactic level threat which latently becomes Goku avenging and protecting the legacy a heritage he just recently had to accept (Goku initially didn’t accept that he was a saiyan like Raditz but by the Frieza Saga he’s almost fighting with his entire race on his back Among other things). There’s a need to save the Future AND the past...to change DESTINY to save causality, Gohan has to overcome his feelings of weakness and inadequacy to save the world from Cell to become the strongest or risk losing not only his life but everything and everyone he loves (Gohan being a much more emotionally involved/attached character than even his father) and having his father’s sacrifice be in vain...not able to fill the shoes of his father who believed in him if he failed, etc. The stakes are EXTREMELY high and are gradually raised throughout DBZ on the individual, personal and literal power levels. DBS is so busy marginalizing their own characters and story it really can’t compare the the depth and drama of Z. It’s like DBS doesn’t even respect itself enough to take itself seriously as a story. It feels cheap. Not the production value but the writing itself. So many cheap cop outs and cliche anime tropes used carelessly and without thought imo. But yeah ultimately you can’t say DBZ didn’t do a great job of handling what was at stake and raising those stakes for everyone on so many different levels outside of “who is stronger than who”.

Some of these weren't bad points, like handeling Broly, or introducing female super saiyans, but here is a couple big issues I personally had with it. 1: Yes they introduced female saiyans and even super saiyans, but they picked up on super Saiyan so quickly that it seemed unearned, and then super Saiyan 2 as well. Kale was better as she has the same power as Broly, but still, it felt cheap. 2: They did in fact explain the fusion breaking, but it seems like they only did that because they realized that the fans were creating different answers and wanted to create something concrete. they wrote themselves into a hole and had to dig their way out, and while the fans had great ideas, they were tossed away because once again they wrote themselves into a hole with merged zamasu and had to dig their way out. 3: Future trunks was handled terribly, inconsistent time line problems in both z and here with Mai's age, and also the spirit sword was bs though I did like that he reached ssj2, the problem was that he was once again painted as incredibly powerful only to then become useless immediately. 4: The jokes, simply are not that great in my opinion. They seemed to take inspiration from TFS and made Goku into a bumbling idiot who thought kissing was yucky, and while we never seen him kiss chi-chi no one denied that he should have considering the wedding. 5: Speaking of inconsistency's, trunks in the main timeline is messed up as well, he is supposed to be what? 13 here. . . he hasn't grown at all since he was 8 and we seen him at this age in the special where he looked much bigger. They literally only did this to have him and Mai at the same age because of his future self but that don't make sense because that mai never got reverted and should be closer to 60 by now if not older. These are just a few issues, I have many more. Honestly while not perfect the manga was a lot better.

Comparing a high budget movie that had plenty of time to a normal episode with a specific deadline...lmaooo

"Goku and friends" whenever you say that I can't help but laugh because it's so accurate lmao.

dude dbz got me being nostalgic like i remember sitting back eating my cereal watch dbz goku kick ass, but dbs literally just didnt make goku care about anything, they also made their transformations copied, how u gonna tell me that ssjg isnt a cppy of goku in his base form how u gonna tell me ssjgss isnt a copy of ssj like they just being lazy

*What ruined Dbs* Goku being stupid Super Saiyan Blue is overused Who's Gohan again? No danger in death (Goku bringing himself back to life) (Master Roshi coming back to life) Goten and Trunks have no purpose Not enough strategy (just *WOW HE MAKE BOOM*) The writing is childish (Dyspo super ultra light speed mode) No blood (not asking for Gore but OG dbz)

a non-pervert turtle sage? that's it, then. I'm not watching it.

I really like both DBZ and DBS. In my opinion they are on par with each other, and are good series' in their own respects

Super is phenomenal, I grew up on Z And I will gladly say I LOVE super.i love the power levels, I love the gods etc.

Dragon Ball Super definitely did not have higher stakes. Not once did I feel like things were going to end badly. Only time I thought it felt remotely close to that was during the Goku Black Arc.

I personally prefered the episode Goku and Piccolo learned how to drive in dbz more than all the fillers DBS showed for comedy purposes. Making Arale go toe to toe with god tier Goku and Vegeta wasn't comedy it only made them look bad. Their god forms are not supposed to be a joke.

It seems that everybody is complaining about the animation, so I'm here to clear this up: It is not the animator's fault, it was due to a short time period to animate between each episode, resulting in them putting rough drafts in place of a finished piece of animation, a lot of people will say that it's due to inexperienced animators which is not true, a lot of the animators there were actually veterans from DBZ such as, Masahiro Shimanuki, Hiroyuki Itai, Osamu Ishikawa, Yoshitaka Yashima, Hirotaka Nii, Shuichiro Manabe, Yuichi Karasawa, Futoshi Higashide, Noaki Tate, and the legend.... Naotoshi Shida! But anyways, please don't hate on Dragon Ball Super for it's animation, hate on the people that gave the animators very little time to complete the episodes.

I like how they coordinated more team battles. Z had a few but were mostly just one on one spars. Imagine if the Z warriors had a full out assault on the Saiyans when they came to Earth. Especially without Vegeta wanting to join in the beginning it would have been cool seeing the gang attack Napa and the Saibamen

That's definitely not the design of SS2 Goku!

bro the time period of the animation is a major difference so animation shouldn't have been brought up

For my Thoughts,the only thing that is not ok with super is Everything... Its changed even the work of drawing,very poor drawing,the muscles the proportion of the budy,everything is made more shitty,when u saw songoku and others,they were painted with dignity,and with something special in it,now they all look like Some half pottatoes ... sory for my english.

1:43 “Another thing that Super does better than DBZ is raising the stakes” I swear to god I almost clicked off this video after I heard that

We want Gohan and the Z Fighters be more relevant in the future arcs. Goku and Vegeta had already had theirs moments.

I loved everything about dragonballZ and Dragonball Super.

More, doesn't mean, better, God damn.... we don't need multiuniversal God characters jeeeez

Roshi liking women is "problematic"? You're why everything is so serious nowadays... its supposed to be comical.

I believe that every Dragon Ball franchise is always be the best, even Goku as the main prognaist which makes the show to be intresting as a 🐐 anime character

I’m highly curious to see what these guys say. Because as of right now, the only thing I can think of that Super did better than Z is the dub translation.

Did- did this guy just say that kaioken and ultra instinct are transformations? I want whatever it is that he's smoking

DBS was a homage to DBZ. It’s probably not apparent on the first watch but there are many throwbacks and subtle references to DBZ.

They need to go into the Moro arc when they bring the anime back

The humor on DBS was hilarious, seriously - the male love recital ?? XD And also the animation is much better on mass fights. The multiverse tournament had Many vs many while DBZ had 99% of the times fight 1 on 1 (except the movies and history of trunks). it was always something that bothered me on DBZ

Thank you for taking the time to make this Video.Used to run home from after school to watch Dragon ball 80’s Goku anime 😄

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is the first Dragon Super movie! Battle Of The Gods and Resurrection F is Dragon Ball Z movies right?

I’m assuming you missed this in the dbs movie since they were only in the background but Bardock’s gang that got killed in Z by Dodoria and those other 3 guys were seen in the background with the other saiyans while king cold was introducing Frieza. And Toyotoro drew them in their dbs outfits moments before Dodoria killed them so they couldn’t contact Bardock so I’d still consider them canon. They even had some other key moments that were offscreen from the bardock special in the dbs broly movie like bardocks fight with Frieza men outside the ship since Bardock’s armor was damaged like in the original non-canon version

ah the good ol days, watching funimation and having only two commercials ever playing.... bio broly and some fullmetal alchemist videogame commercial

Hang on, the reason Goku lost control of his ki was due to combining super sayain blue with kioken times 20 which is a risky power boost not because of a baseball match it was when universe 7 and 6 had a small tournament

I agree I thought I was the only one that noticed all of these things, especially the thing about it having less filler than DBZ, I’ve always preferred DBS over DBZ

5:54 Ah sh-t here we go again Naruto talks about his past Edit: OMG THANKS SO MUCH FOR 75 LIKES I THAW IT WONT EVEN GET A LIKE

This man just kale and caulifla are interesting characters😂 them thots ain’t interesting

This video must have been really hard to make lmao

Tbh the clips during the video talking about super broly. The music along with the clips you had. Made me feel like i was on some psychedelic in truth as i watched it. Half expected misssipi queen to start playing too.

The thing it did worse: Why and how are there only 28 Planets with mortals in the universe? Is Freezers Empire supposed to be so small?

I agree with most points made, except for the one about the higher stakes. Sure, DBS may have higher stakes on a technical level, with the introduction of a multiverse and all-powerful villains like Zamasu. But in DBZ there were a lot more consecuences to the actions of the characters. When a character got killed off, it would sometimes take an entire arc before he was brought back. The Dragon Balls were often written out of the plot in order to temporarily remove this Deus Ex Machina. On top of that, Toriyama very cleverly made Goku absent during battle as much as he could, which made the villains more menacing. DBS has a huge disadvantage when it comes to stakes. It takes place during the 10 year time skip between the Majin Buu arc and the end of DBZ. Therefore we know every single issue of every single arc will inevitably be resolved.

I want a Series about TRUNKS AND GOTEN, MAYBE EVEN THE OTHERS It’d still have the adults and all playing roles but it’d have them all Atleast from ages 15-18

Putting a one hour time limit on the potara, was a dumb idea because it totally shits on the fusion dance now there is no reason for Goku and Vegeta to use it ever again

I kinda wish they did more things that seemed weird for certain characters like Goku reading minds Vegeta raising rocks out of the ground

Goku singing Cha-La

When he was talking about forms man showed super saiyan 1 twice and got away with it

nobody? The fusion with the pantaras is permanent, when one of two is a kai, not both, only one has to be a kai

The best animation in super was better than the best animation in z, but the overall animation was better in z, at least in my opinion

And I just realized this video was only posted 26 min ago

I was skepticle there were this many things 'better' but I admit most of this was true except comparing a 2019 full funded movie's animation to a 1990s anime.. especially when most of supers actual animation is awful with next to no fight choreography at all.

I have a question. What is the channel to show dragon ball super?..

14:57 Man talk about best for Last. You’re right pal, I don’t care what anyone says. Caulifla and Kale are indeed the best thing to come out of Dragon Ball Super.

I don’t understand why Trunks hasn’t accented to a God level, when he was just as strong as Goku and Vageta in the Cell Games! What’s going on with Toriyama?

Bro said raising the stakes, they only raised steaks 😂😂😂😂😂 Ik that's not funny The stakes were just high in the top but you can't forget dbz is the sayian saga removed the Dragonballs to raise the stakes and in the cell saga when kami and piccolo fused

coming from re watching original DB and DBZ I can totally agree with this video. a lot of "dragon ball" fans actually only watched (if at all) Z. the essence of original dragon ball was definitely caught back with super!

50 things Dragon Ball Z does better than Dragon Ball Super LOL 😂

Reasons that DBZ was way better: 1)The characters were way more badass 2)The characters power was not nerfed that much unlike super 3)Transformations are unlocked by hard training and not just joining hands and getting massive power up, or getting power by just coincidence 4)Z fighters had more value 5) Beautiful realistic art, blood, Destruction and more realistic effects 6) Power Levels were more something back then 7) For obvious reasons the Bruce Faulconer Score 8) It didn't have that massive spotlight on Goku compared to super 9) CBR obviously does not recognise dbz's true quality and legacy (CBR in many of the videos says bullshit anyways) 10)it was drawn on hand and not by some stupid computer unlike super that made it's artstyle look like pile of crap 11) Goku was more like a noble and smarter Saiyan and not a dumb fuck like in super The only thing I appreciate from Super Art are for obvious reasons Nataoshi Shida Scenes

Tell me your stupid without telling me your stupid. This video:

The animation for super was always good to me, but the T.O.P. and The Broly Movie were eye candy.

I'm just happy for more Dragon Ball....

13:33 according to the Goten/Trunks laws of aging Broly is 26 in this shot

IMO the fact that DBZ has Bruce Falconers music literally is enough. Its hard to imagine my favorite DBZ Scenes without his epic music!.

The downside to Super is the pacing. There is no moment to breathe whenever there is dialogue. It is kinda like Pokemon.

Am I the only one here that enjoys all 4 series?(DB DBZ DBGT DBS) I enjoy Z as much as the next guy. But none can deny the pacing of it was so damn slow and tedious. I dont mind filler episodes but DBZ took that to heart. Talk or stand for 5 minutes and fight for 2. While yes the art style on Super was bad at first, look at DBZ art style. It wasn't until the Cell saga when it started to improve, and it looked incredible at the end with Buu saga.In the beginning though with the saiyan and Namek saga, it looked bad. The score that Bruce made was good but most of it was forgettable. With the exception of ssj3 theme, gohans theme, Cells theme and vegetas theme(plus hells bells), Bruce didn't really have a memorable soundtrack. Plus IT NEVER STOPPED PLAYING. Now I'm not trying to hate on Z. But you would be lying to yourself of you said DBZ didn't have flaws.

The last 3 episodes of the series also had much superior animation

Imagine this: caulifla sees kale, cabba, and hit knocked out, and since she's the only hope left for her universe to survive, she undergoes a super Saiyan transformation (but still loses)

What music at starting I forgot what it is Someone remind me plz

What about everything Z does better than super?

it would be cool if they would bring Chi-Chi back as a fighter. maybe with some developed, under the radar, skills and abilities when no one was looking. i don't like how she started being Ox King's daughter, to someone who sparred with Goku to a nagging running gag. they need to put on par with Krillin near 18's power level and technique and skills. just sayin'

What track is used in the begginig of the video?

I still love the original DBZ more. The one that I grew up with back on Toonami in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
