Dragon Ball was a gag manga. The Western dub and DBZ animation just made it into a superhero cartoon.

Yeah man, it was hilarious when Cell absorbed that man who begged for his life as his body was liquefied and absorbed. Epic gags bro.

Dragonball is the only manga. There is no DBZ manga. DB manga includes Cell arc, Namek arc, Saiyan arc, Piccolo arcs, and Buy arcs, all of which were treated seriously.

Dragon ball isn't supposed to be power scaled. Diehard fans don't seem to understand that it's not supposed to make any sense.

>There is no DBZ manga
I never said there was. I said there was a BDZ anime. But by the time they got to the cell arc in the manga it was already a complete shell of it's former self, no longer a gag manga.

DB has spent more time in the Z era than the pre-Z era, and even the pre-Z era got more serious as it went on.

This whole "DB was never serious. The dub made it dark!" meme needs to stop. The series has always had a sense of humor, but it was never a total joke either.

The key word here is 'was', because Dragon Ball stopped being a gag manga even before the Raditz fight kicked off DBZ. It's a martial arts manga and has been for more than half of it's run time.

Calling DB a gag manga is like saying the Simpsons is a great show, but then remembering you have to specify that only 8 or 9 of the 6 gorillion seasons are any good.

>>141089748
You realize he designs all the new characters including those, the tournament fighters and the dragon right?

But it still had gag moments in the later arcs, just fewer. Mr. Satan vs Cell and Gotenks vs Buu for example. Actually, the world martial arts tournament of Buu safa was full of it before the majin holocaust happened
>>
>>141090863
Yeah, not a good example.
Toriyama said in a Dragon Quest interview that his character design for games has more details simply because those characters don't have to be drawn all the time.
Even when he's not the one drawing, he still takes this in consideration.

As side note, he gave the Super Sayian blonde hair just to save time when inking,

Well you don't. A gag manga isn't literally any manga that has a joke in it. Gag manga don't have serious stories or continuity.
