The full scope of everything Dragon Ball is on Crunchyroll. The anime streaming service is also the only place you'll find most of the movies, though Z Kai and Daima are also streaming on Hulu. For the collectors, all of the Dragon Ball series and movies are available as physical releases.

The most recent Dragon Ball series follows Goku and friends who have been turned into children and must traverse the Demon Realm to become adults again.

36. Dragon Ball Super (Episodes 1-27)

The next two Dragon Ball Z movies (Battle of the Gods and Resurrection F) and the first two sagas of Dragon Ball Super cover the same general storylines, but with some key differences. The Dragon Ball Super sagas are considered canon, but it's worth checking both out.

• Gods of Destruction Beerus Saga
• Golden Frieza Arc

37. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods (Movie)

This is the movie where Goku fights a literal god, and all arguments about who can and can't defeat Goku become forever pointless.

• Copy Vegeta Saga
• "Future" Trunks Saga
• Universe Survival Saga

41. Dragon Ball Super: Broly (Movie)

The film tells the story of Broly and his history with Goku, Raditz and Vegeta. In the present, Broly returns yet again to wreak havoc, and it is up to Goku and Vegeta to literally combine forces to stop him.

42. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (Movie)

The best father-son duo, Piccolo and Gohan, finally get the spotlight! We also get the triumphant return of the Red Ribbon Army, who create androids to take over the world.

43. Dragon Ball Z (Episodes 289-291)

• Peaceful World Saga

I wouldn't recommend splitting up Dragon Ball Z like this on your first watch, but the original ending saga technically takes place 10 years after the defeat of Majin Buu. At the very least, it may be worth coming back to these final episodes after watching Dragon Ball Super.

What's Next for Dragon Ball

Unfortunately, we don't know yet. Dragon Ball Daima was the very last project creator Akira Toriyama worked on, and after his passing, Dragon Ball Super went into hiatus with the exception of a special one-shot issue earlier this year. At this point it is uncertain how the franchise will move forward without Toriyama, but if Daima was the last we ever see of Goku and his friends, it was a wild and entertaining ride.
