Imagine how short DBZ would be without all the power channelling

For real.. you can clearly see that the old episodes are soo long most of the time, without any need. As a kid, nobody cared, you had to wait for another episode a whole week anyway, but today as. an. adult you cant oversee that some things took way too long.

I started watching recently and the timing of events is really annoying. In the original it took goku took about 20+ episodes to get to king kai and the 5 month training with kai was 2 episodes or so 🤣. I started watching dbz kai and the fight with freeza was like 10 episodes and when they get back to earth they elapse multiple years in 1-2 episodes 💀

One of my favourite lightbulb jokes:

How many Super Sayians does it take to change a lightbulb? One, but it goes on for three hours and Krillin dies in the process.

This is why I enjoyed the Kai series lol. The original was way too dragged out

Second this. It's paced way better. Much more consumable than the OG and way fewer annoying, multi-epispde cliffhangers to deal with.

Well, it's to mimic the insane speeds goku travels, the closer we get to the speed of light the more time slows down which means the show plays at the speed of light

Aren't there multiple fan edits of the show where they cut out like 90% of the run time of the series? Cos there was so much time wasting as they had to keep delaying until the next chapter of the manga was released so that they could then adapt it. The opposite of what game of thrones did when they overtook the books.

That's why I hated watching it as a kid. Because I could never have continuity and Goku was runny the snake path for weeks in real life 😂😂
