what games to play to learn Dragon ball (z, super) story ?

[A3D1]

i grew up watching Naruto, and if someone wonders u can play Naruto Storm 1, 2, 3, 4 to learn all the 700episode story (+first ~80 boruto episodes at Boruto DLC).
so i would like to know if theres any games like this onebut for Dragon ball's Story "in General".

also pls correct me if im mistaken the timeline that i know:

Dragon Ball: (first *season* where goku is a kid)
Dragon Ball Z:Second part *fans favorite* where goku is at his 30s and his kid Gohan is 10
Dragon Ball Super : Goku 40s , Gohan 23

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot ist probably the closest to what you're looking for, it's not out yet though.

its the dragon ball , z , super story ?

I mean, the clue is in the name. There is no game that tells the whole Dragon Ball franchises story the way the Naruto Storm series does for Naruto.
Maybe 80% of the games re-tell a shortened version of the events of DBZ, and the rest either tell their own stories, tell no stories at all, or cover the original DB.

If you have any old consoles laying around, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Burst Limit might give you a surface level understanding of DBZ's plot. Nothing on PC or current gen consoles though.

DB and DBS don't really have any proper games yet. Gotta watch the anime to get these two, although DB can be skipped IMO if the 80s comedy/adventure shtick isn't your thing.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3 cover Z's plot fairly well. There are no games for DB or DBS yet. Remember, GT isn't canon.

IMO Budokai 3 or Tenkaichi 2. Won't cover DBS obviously, but references a lot of stuff from DB and goes through all the movies and GT.

Others already answered the question more or less, but I'd add that possibly the best way to see Dragon Ball is to read the manga. The action just translates so well to the pages, while it feels slow and sometimes forced in animated form.

yeah but the problem is that im not an otaku ready to read/watch it (no offence), i just want to know characters (who is who), i know that story is not the best part of it but the fights and the characters are.
i mean in the worst case i could watch who is who in youtube, just wondered if theres any Naruto Storm style game for it. I dont think that i will play any of those (exept the new kakarot maybe) cause its not like Storm series where u can learn everything in 2 days

There is a Naruto Storm style game for it.

Tenkaichi 2 or 3. I recommend 2 myself.

what about tenkaichi 1 ?

The gameboy advance "Dragonball Advanced Adventure" covers the whole kid Goku story, and it was pretty good, though it was a beat'em up (nevertheless, the tournament minigame was pretty good).

Good too, just having grown up playing all of them I thought 2 was the best.

I would just say to watch the anime, it's very good, watch dragonball, then kai then super (if you want to watch t quicker find a filler list and skip the filler episodes) (to skip the first 2 arcs of Super, there's 2 movies which cover them)

You're asking for a pretty big commitment there. DB, Kai and Super add up to 442 episodes. At 20 minutes per episode we're talking about more than 147 hours, or almost an entire week, dedicated to nothing but Dragon Ball. And you wouldn't even have seen DBZ which a lot of fans would recommend over Kai, just to get the "full experience".

[Dokainin]

you could watch DBZ Abridged... its much less of a commitment to get through than the anime or manga proper. its very much a satire though and all the characters have their personalities turned up to 11 while retaining what makes them... them.

p.s. DBZA does only cover from the start of Z up to the end of the cell saga though.
