Dragon Ball Z is the longest series in the franchise: 291 episodes aired on Fuji TV between 1989 and 1996, covering more than twenty years of Goku's life. You will find all of them here, in airing order and grouped into seven sagas.

The journey starts with the arrival of the Saiyans, moves on to Namek and the fight with Frieza, then to Dr. Gero's androids and the Cell Games, and closes with the long Majin Buu Saga. Two blocks, the Garlic Jr. Saga and the Other World Tournament Saga, were created for the anime and have no counterpart in the manga, which is worth knowing if you are deciding what to watch and what to skip.

For plot, characters, production and theme songs, read our Dragon Ball Z guide. If you want a faster cut that sticks closer to the manga, have a look at Dragon Ball Kai. The story begins in the Dragon Ball episodes, and in release order Z is followed by the Dragon Ball GT episodes.
