Shouldn't there be a category for:


Why do the characters stand around grimacing for several minutes before a fight? Reply

@Kira16: You mean several episodes? I was first really initiated during the end of the Android saga and managed to watch the entire Cell saga. I swear two of the episodes was of two fighters breathing angrily at eachother for 20 minutes while the rest of the Z Team hid behind boulders and made commentary. Reply

The scary thing to me is that I know exactly the episodes you're referring to.@YourTechSupport: Reply

@YourTechSupport: Seriously, it's like, what, one fight a season? One hit an episode? Reply

@Kira16: All filler to give Akira Toriyama more time to draw the manga.


Dragon Ball Kai (the remastered and fillerless DBZ in "HD") will have none of that nonsense. Reply

@Kira16: I'm pretty sure that was covered in the "Isn't Dragon Ball just a bunch of speedlines and ripped dudes with bad hair screaming 'It's over 9,000!'" section. In short: blame the anime for catching up too quickly with the manga, and then needing to drag out time . . . and drag it . . . and drag it. . . . Reply

@Tenbinzan: Like the five minutes to a planet to explode that took five episodes to happen Reply
