Hunt for Dragon Balls, Vegeta vs. Zarbon, Ginyu Force arrives. Review: Excellent tension. Ginyu Force episodes (60–66) are fan favorites. Filler: Episode 64 (Recoome and Goku’s fight extended) — good but padded.

Imperfect Cell absorbs Androids 17 & 18. Review: Tense horror-like atmosphere. Cell’s first form is creepy. Pacing drags in episodes 150–155 (Cell searches for 18). Filler: Episodes 155–158 (Cell fights Piccolo and 17 extended). Episode 159 (Krillin holds 18) — fine.

Training for Vegeta & Nappa. Review: Classic training sequences. However, episodes 12–14 (Gohan in the wilderness) feel slow. Episode 17 (Launch appears) is pure filler.

Perfect Cell, Cell Games, Gohan vs. Cell. Review: Peak DBZ . Episode 166 (Cell announces Games). Episode 184 (Gohan SSJ2) — legendary transformation. Episodes 191–194 (final Kamehameha) — epic but long. Filler: Episodes 170–174 (Mr. Satan’s subplot) — fun but skippable. Episodes 192–193 (Goku sacrifices himself) — emotional.

Must-watch: 118–124, 126–130, 140–145, 166, 184–194. Skip 125 (unless you want comedy), 170–174. Watch 155–158 if you like extended fights. 5. Great Saiyaman & World Tournament (Episodes 195–219) Review: Slice-of-life and comedy. Gohan in high school, Great Saiyaman persona. Tone shift after Cell. Some fans dislike it, but it’s important for Gohan’s character. Filler: Episode 196 (Gohan fights criminals) — fun. Episodes 202–204 (Videl learns flying) — good. Verdict: Not essential but charming. Watch 195–199, 210–219 (tournament starts). Skip if you only want fighting. 6. Majin Buu Arc (Episodes 220–291) Episodes 220–236: Babidi, Majin Vegeta vs. Goku. Review: Dark, psychological. Vegeta’s sacrifice (episode 236) is one of the best moments in anime. Filler: Episode 224 (Goten and Trunks fight) — fine.

Fat Buu destroys Earth. Review: Buu is chaotic and fun. Pacing issues: episodes 243–248 (Buu chases Babidi) drag. Filler: Episodes 245–246 (Buu turns people into chocolate) — repetitive.

Super Buu, Gotenks, Vegito, Kid Buu, Spirit Bomb finale. Review: Wild, uneven. Vegito (episode 269) is incredible. Final 5 episodes (287–291) are emotional and satisfying. Filler: Episodes 277–278 (Gotenks fails to beat Buu) — stretched. Episode 288 (Fusion reborn references) — fun.
