For me it was the Cell Saga. I think it's tht way for a lot of fans, North American ones at least, who first enoucntered the series in the late 90s or early 2000s on Cartoon Network. Cell Saga always seemed to be playing.

Then after the fact I saw the Vegeta saga and the Freiza saga. And I remember being so excited when they finally started showing Buu here on the Cartoon Network....and then it was a huge disappointment.

Raditz Saga. Basically as soon as it went to Dragon Ball Z and was shown on Cartoon Network I started watching it.

Probably the right decision. That arc was the worst

its so bad its the only season I never finished. And then they made a spin-off show and decided to keep around all these weird ass new characters. What a terrible idea

I started watching Dragon Ball this year for the first time, so the first arc I saw was the saiyan saga. But I watched all of Dragon Ball before that. Im also watching Kai, so Im not watching all the filler episodes.

I can see how it might have been wow if it were brand new, but a lot of dbz merch has the main characters as super saiyans, so it wasnt a surprise or anything. The transformation felt underwhelming for that reason, but it was still cool.

Im on the Android saga now and I know gohan also transforms so Im waiting for that

The Super Saiyan scene was better in the non-Kai version IMO. That "Ally to Good, Nightmare to You" line.. chills.

When raditz first came to earth looking for goku. Dont know what arc that is?

surprised a lot of people here are saying something different. I would have thought its the standard thing to start with, AFAIK it is the first ep in dragon ball Z isnt it? After dragon ball finished?

First episode of DBZ I remember watching was during the frieza saga, but I don't remember if it was the frieza or saiyan saga that I finished first. Specifically, it was the one where vegeta first teamed up with krillin and gohan.

The first scene I ever saw of DBZ was the part where Freeza is floating around with only half his body, taunting Goku. I still distinctly remember my feeling of "What the fuck is this?!"

Cell was the first full arc I saw, though.

Most of us were young or young-ish, and there was no Netflix back then. We didn't really have the option of buying/streaming from the beginning or waiting until CN randomly decided to start the show over.

If you were half interested in a show, you either jumped in where it was or just missed out.

Dragon Ball actually saw air on American TV before DBZ showed up, so some had experience with Goku beforehand.

Freeza Saga

Back in 1999, I was a freshman in college and somehow had Cartoon Network on. I had no idea what I was watching, but it was level 3 Freeza beating the shit outta Piccolo. The next day, I was in my neighbors room and they were watching DBZ. I commented that I was watching that show the previous day, and they said they watched it all the time. So I started watching it.

How exactly were kids back then supposed to watch from the first ep? We could only watch what was airing on TV that day.

Me and some friends ordered subtitled CDs with a bunch of episodes on Real Player back then. I loved it.
