The King Piccolo Saga VS. The Majin Buu Saga

[New York Yankees Fan]

Which is BETTER and why?

The King Piccolo Saga:

The Majin Buu Saga:

The Piccolo Daimao Saga and it's not even close. The Piccolo Daimao Saga is the best Saga in DB, and the Majin Boo Saga is the worst Saga in Z as well as the entirety of the series, excluding GT and Super of course.

Even WORSE than anything in Super??? I've seen A LOT of IRRATIONAL HATE for the Majin Buu Saga...but this is just a ridiculous comment right here.

I have to agree with the King Piccolo saga, far and away the best part of DB. The Buu Saga has its' moments, but it has a lot more down swings than up.

I liked Majin Vegeta and his whole story but King Piccolo set the stage for the entire series.

Other great things The Majin Buu Saga did:

• Gave us the character of Videl (even she became largely irrelevant by the end of the series).
• Gave us Super Saiyan 3
• It GREATLY IMPROVED the character of Hercule Satan even he can still be annoying from time to time.

I do love the picollo arc but objectivly ots one of the lesser arcs of db! i think litterally all other db arcs are better maybe if youre not into humour pilaf wouldnt be on that list its still my 2nd favourite!

Buu is easily the better of the two arc, the King Piccolo arc is my least favourite arc from Dragon Ball & Z (except maybe Search for the Dragon Balls but that's barely an arc). Might've just been because it was the last arc I ever experienced but the King Piccolo arc is the awkward teenage phase of the Dragon Ball series. It's not a good Dragon Ball arc because it lacks the comedy that makes those arc so enjoyable. And it's not a good Dragon Ball Z arc because it lacks the wider cast that makes those arcs so enjoyable. Like, in Dragon Ball Z arcs, the secondary cast do stuff; Goku only beat Raditz because of Piccolo & Gohan; Gohan, Krillin, & Yajirobe were all integral to defeating Vegeta; Vegeta killed most of the baddies on Namek; Vegeta killed 19, & Gohan killed Cell; Goku only beat Buu because of Vegeta, Raditz, & Buu. In King Piccolo, Tien just got his ass-kicked and everyone else died. Yajirobe did beat one baddie I believe, but it's just the Goku show in King Piccolo. Dragon Ball needs the humour to make that work.

I mean, Goku vs. King Piccolo is still a pretty good fight with an iconic finish so it's not awful but definitely the weakest. Buu's not perfect though, the middle of that arc is a pretty boring slog with some weak fights tbh, but the bread of that arc is pretty scrumptious. Love Videl, love Vegeta & Hercules character arc, love Candy Vegito, love the ending.
