* SoLastSeason: During the Frieza saga Super Saiyan was build up as being the penultimate warrior, with there only supposedly being only one in the universe. Come the Cell saga, not only do four of the main cast have access to Super Saiyan but its no longer enough to beat the main villain, but new, more powerful forms of Super Saiyan have to be introduced. Beyond that, in the Buu Saga, the new forms of Super Saiyan aren't enough to beat Buu and the concept of fusion takes its place.

In 1989, the continuity of ''Manga/DragonBall'' had been changed over to ''Dragon Ball Z'', and the focus had changed from a martial-arts comedy to [[CerebusSyndrome more serious epic battles]] (and Creator/AkiraToriyama [[WordOfGod thought it would be ending soon]]).
At the start it revealed that Goku was not simply a boy with a tail but one of the last of the alien race, the Saiyans. He was sent into space shortly before the Saiyan planet was destroyed (shades of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''). Goku and his friends, reinforced by former enemies (a recurring theme) had to fight [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil progressively more powerful]] villains. Although Goku and his martial arts skills (which let him and his friends fly, throw energy blasts and read minds) dominated the battles, the story was mostly about Goku's son Gohan and how he faces the challenges. Running seven years and nearly 300 episodes, the series can be broken down into the four primary {{big bad}}s of the series: Vegeta, Freeza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Both ''Dragon Ball'' the manga and ''Dragon Ball Z'' the anime came to a triumphant conclusion after Gohan is married and his own daughter Pan enters the "Strongest Under the Heavens" tournament.
Followed by ''Anime/DragonBallGT''.
