The Dragon Ball watch order stitches the original 153-episode series, its Z-era continuation and the modern Super run together with more than 20 movies and three OVAs in full chronological order. Start with Episodes 1-153, then weave the films in as the timeline reaches them: The Deadzone Movie, Bardock: Father of Goku, World's Strongest, Tree of Might, Lord Slug and Garlic Junior slot between early episode blocks, while History of Trunks lands before Episodes 124-125. The Broly, Cooler, Android 13, Bojack, Bio-Broly, Fusion Reborn and Wrath of the Dragon films each drop into their matching episode gaps, with the Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans OVA following Bojack Unbound. The Super era begins after the Yo! Son Goku and Episode of Bardock OVAs, routing Battle of the Gods, Resurrection F and Broly into their episode windows before Super Hero and the latest 45-episode block. This is the complete order including all movies and OVAs.
