So, you may have missed them at the time. In fact, even if you saw them, it would’ve been many years ago. Thankfully, there are a bunch of ways to experience all the Dragon Ball shows and most of the movies today. Here is where you can find them if you’re from the United States.

This guide pertains to the English dubbed version of the shows and movies, except when stated otherwise.


Where To Watch The Original Dragon Ball Series

Humble Beginnings

The original Dragon Ball series follows Goku when he’s just a strange young boy living in the woods. This is where he meets teenage Bulma, who teaches him about the wish-granting Dragon Balls. The two go on a journey to find them. This leads to many other dangerous adventures.

Release Date
February 26, 1986

Number of Episodes
153

The original Dragon Ball series is a lot more low-key than the later shows. But it’s still very engaging and worth watching. It’s available through Amazon’s Prime Video service. However, the show isn’t free with Amazon Prime. You have to buy the episodes and seasons individually.

You can also watch the series on streaming sites, such as Crunchyroll or Funimation. Both sites require you to sign up for premium accounts to earn the viewing pleasure. Plus, the English-subtitled version is on Hulu. Alternatively, you can get the remastered DVDs from various sellers. Yet, there isn’t actually an official full box set of the entire series. They have them available in separate seasons.

The Series That Made The Franchise Famous

Dragon Ball Z begins several years after the events of the original series. Goku is now an adult with his own child. Yet, peace doesn’t last too long, as more dangerous foes are out there. As a result, the show includes several sagas of Goku and the Z-Warriors fighting villains who are threatening innocent lives.

Release Date
April 26, 1989

Number of Episodes
291

For many, Dragon Ball Z is what got them into the franchise. Now, Amazon gives you two ways to watch the series. You can buy all the episodes and seasons through Prime Video, or buy an Amazon-exclusive Blu-ray box set containing all the seasons.

You can also find the individual DVD and Blu-ray seasons at various retailers. Your other options are to watch the show on Crunchyroll or Funimation. To view all the episodes, though, you will need to invest in a premium subscription for either site. You can also use your Crunchyroll account to watch the series on Amazon Prime Video. So, there are plenty of options to watch the series that inspired many Dragon Ball Funkos.

Prettiest Version Of Dragon Ball Z

Dragon Ball Z Kai is a remastered version of Dragon Ball Z. The core story is the same. The visuals are improved, and the voice-acting is mostly redone. Plus, it removes a lot of the filler from DBZ. It keeps the main sagas and the big fights, though.

Release Date
April 5, 2009

Number of Episodes
167

Dragon Ball Z Kai is a remaster of DBZ that attempts to be more like the Manga. All the episodes and seasons are available for you to purchase on Amazon Prime Video. The entire dubbed version is also available on Hulu.

If you prefer physical products, though, you can buy the Blu-rays and DVDs of the series from several retailers. You will struggle to find an official box set of the entire series. Yet, the seasons are available separately.

The Forgotten Sequel

Years of peace are disrupted when Goku is transformed into a child once again at the start of this sequel series. So, he, Pan, and Trunks attempt to put things right. It becomes more complicated than they ever could imagine, though.

Release Date
February 7, 1996

Number of Episodes
64

Not every DB fan loves GT, but the series has plenty going for it. You can see for yourself by buying the individual episodes and seasons through Amazon Prime Video. You can also watch it on either Crunchyroll or Funimation, but both sites require you to sign up for premium accounts first. Another option is to watch the English-subtitled version on Hulu.

As for physical media, you can grab the entire box set of the series from various places, such as Walmart and Best Buy. There are two different box sets, but they aren’t significantly different.

All About Gods And Tournaments

In Dragon Ball Super, the story goes beyond mere mortals as the Z-Warriors meet gods, most notably the God of Destruction, Beerus. Naturally, Goku and Vegeta want god-level powers of their own. However, they also have new threats and dangers to deal with in the process of acquiring that strength.

Release Date
July 5, 2015

Number of Episodes
131

Super is the latest Dragon Ball series to be released in the US, and it came a long time after the others. To witness the adventure, you can buy individual episodes and seasons from Amazon Prime Video. The Funimation site also allows you to watch the series if you are a Premium Plus subscriber. Interestingly, Crunchyroll and Hulu only offer the subtitled version, not the dub.

However, you can pick up the individual DVDs and Blu-rays of the series from various retailers. Walmart, for instance, has exclusive editions available that combine parts (aka seasons) together, which can save you some money.

To get the dubbed versions of the older movies, you may have to opt for the DVDs. You can get plenty of them from Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Some of them even come in collections, which can save you money if you want to get many of them.

FAQ

Where can I watch Dragon Ball Z in the UK?

If you’re in the UK, you have fewer options to watch Dragon Ball Z because it isn’t on Crunchyroll, and you don’t have access to Funimation or Hulu. You can get the Blu-rays and DVDs from various places, such as Amazon and HMV’s Online Store.

What is the best order to watch all the Dragon Ball shows?

The best way to watch all the Dragon Ball shows is just chronologically. So, you watch in the following order: Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT. You aren’t required to watch both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai as they have the same story.
