DBZ peaked at this very moment.End of story.
everything after cell is fanfic
>>288777402DBZ peaked at Frieza
ok we've moved on,you haven't >B-B-BUT SPARE A DISCUSSION No,enjoying living in the past
>>288777433so is Cell
>>288777460/threadOnly burgers disagree
>>288777433Buu saga was good and im tired of pretending otherwise
>>288777402>>288778245DBZ's peak of popularity in Japan was the Cell arc. There was even an article on Japanese newspaper discussing the upcoming Cell tournament
>>288778245Burger here, he's right though. Everything after Freiza was downhill.
>>288777402It didn't. This moment was utter nonsense. Before entering the chamber, Gohan NOT ONCE said he didn't want to fight and everything up to that point was him WANTING to fight. Toriyama was a good artist but, for the love of God, the man could not write a story at all with a gun to his head. It's good that he's gone. Thank god Koyama at least made the movies with actual writing.
>>288777402i have a permanent mental association of this image to the anon that made several posts about unaliving his school and got the entire website frozen by the fbi
>>288777402>The thing Toriyama copypasted from the Namek arc is the peak of DBZNo.
OP here: meant to post this, sorry.
Keep it to your general Nigga.
>>288781561why so late in the series? It was already getting stale then

also op here's a better version for when you inevitably make this thread again
>>288777402There's a reason the only time people talk about the Buu saga is Vegeta's sacrifice. Remember Gotenks? Or the Z sword? Or Bobbidy flying around blowing up random towns on Earth for some reason? Remember how Vegito was defeated? Remember Buu's dog? Remember Gohan's high-school Arc?Yes DBZ ended after Cell and it has all been a fever dream since.
I think for me the exact peak is the Kaioken x3 chapter. But everything from the 22nd Budokai to the end is god tier.
>>288777433dragon ball doesn't start till goten appears
>>288777460nah you need goku passing the torch to his son to get full closure.
>>288777402Whoops, wrong image!
>>288784038this cut still mogs 90% of modern shonen powerupsno 12 minute inner monologue, no narrator explaining his trauma, just the kid finally snapping and the entire arc paying off in one look
>>288778277...until Majin Vegeta dies
>>288777433nah after buu after z
