Most Boring Episode

Everybody who has seen DragonBall Z, knows that it consists of numerous episodes. There are some episodes we probably don't care to see unless we want to keep following the story. I also ought to mention a couple of things. Not that these were boring episodes, but Frieza said Namek would explode in 5 minutes and it was around 10 episodes later that it exploded. Five hours would have made more sense. After Future Trunks leaves, it takes 3 episodes for the 3 years to pass. Also, it took like 12 episodes from the fight with Future Trunks and Cell to the fight with Goku and Cell. Cell even says 9 days, so this is an example of how long things take in the DBZ universe.

Sorry for this long post, but to me I don't care for like the first episode of DragonBall Z, as it's a boring episode. I prefer the beginning episodes on Ocean Dub. Other episodes I don't care for, a lot of us probably won't care too much for most of the episodes before the Cell Games begin. Even though Losers Fight First was supposed to be a funny episode, it felt like we wanted the action to start between Goku and Cell rather than a whole episode of weaker characters facing off against Cell. I also don't care for the Other World Tournament Episodes, they were cheesy, I even prefer the episodes showing Gohan in High School getting to know Videl, and Videl fighting crime. I don't care for the episode, Who Will Fight Who or The Forfeit Of Piccolo as Piccolo was like staring at the Supreme Kai in that episode. I don't care for the final episodes of the series.

So, sorry for a long post and while this has been brought up before I want to know what episodes you consider to be the most boring?

The filler episodes of Z's Cell's arc had me literally falling asleep because they were that boring to watch.

That's about it, the rest (DB, GT, Kai, Super) has never happened.

Thank you for your reply. So, I mentioned those episodes before the Cell games, and you agree those episodes were boring as it took like 10 episodes and we saw things like Gohan's birthday, and Gohan meeting a girl named Lime. Though, I think it's good getting to know the characters outside of combat, as it's great to know the characters well.

I think I still remember that gf of Gohan.

Unrelated but seeing Nappa's "brother" in the Majin Boo arc was pretty cool.

If I remember right, there is an episode in the Frieza sage somewhere around the time that Krilin gets killed where Goku and Frieza power up for almost an entire episode. Like literally nothing else happens in that ep, except them charging up.

The Cell saga and Android Saga bored me to tears. Just something about "Oh no yet ANOTHER group of people are stronger than us" and the fights were way too long.

I liked the Great Saiyaman episodes.

The filler of "The Saiyan Conflict" (season 1 for Ocean Dub) was boring but the rest was great.

I enjoyed Kid Buu episodes.

The Most Boring of them all was the Filler Episodes from the Saiyan Saga and the Namek Saga

but i only watched DBZ For Fights

[–] kiti22 9 years ago

But the worst and most boring of all DBZ episodes are the episodes gotenks fights super buu and the episodes where goku and vegeta went inside buu's body (goku and vegeta are so annoying where they are inside buu's body in those 2 episodes)

[–] Philip_90 9 years ago

The arcs of Freeza, Androids and Cell had a lot of really boring episodes.

I like me some filler episodes but only as long as they're well written and entertaining. They weren't.

Thankfully they fixed it in Kai.

Not to mention the episodes at the end of the frieza saga that do not match up.

Wow. If a wrong opinion can't exist, this comes pretty damn close.

The most boring episodes and the worst ones as a result imo are the Cell Games saga stuff, and most specifically the three-episode Kamehameha beam struggle [Save the World, The Horror Won't End, and Cell Returns] that lasted way too long onscreen and destroyed the ending. It was the worst ending and worst bunch of boring episodes. The rest of the Cell Games and the filler stuff before was almost as bad too but the ending was the absolute worst.

Gohan and the orphans.

Fake planet Namek.

The search for a pearl to give to Maron.

Wow
These Episodes are Much Worse than the Episodes Where Goku&Vegeta are Inside Buu's Body

[–] Philip_90 9 years ago

Super's episode 4 fits right with this description. Boring. And also, lame.

[–] ikverkoopspellen 8 years ago

Gohan and the orphans & fake planet Namek have been mentioned and really do detest those as well. Besides that, I don't like the episodes inside Buu either (mentioned as well).

There's one episode in which Bulma is seen chasing a dragon ball on Namek and she meets some giant crab or something. It's horrendous.

In a strange turn of events, the final episode of the series (Uub & Goku leaving to train him) wasn't entertaining and even out of character.

Finally, I'd like to add the Garlic Junior saga as being super boring as a whole.
