The Early Days (Saiyan Saga & Frieza Saga)
Dead Zone (Movie 1)
Imagine you just finished watching Raditz bite the dust. You're itching for more action, right? That's the perfect time to pop in Dead Zone. It's like a mini-adventure before the real Saiyan storm hits.
The World's Strongest (Movie 2)
So, Vegeta just got his tail handed to him, and Goku is off healing. Feeling a little empty? Don't worry, The World's Strongest fills that void. It's a fun "what if" scenario that won't mess with the main storyline too much.

The Cell Saga Era
Lord Slug (Movie 4)
Goku has defeated Frieza and is back on Earth. But wait! Before the Androids show up and complicate everything, treat yourself to Lord Slug. Think of it as a palette cleanser before the Android Saga’s intense flavors.
Cooler's Revenge (Movie 5)
The Androids are giving everyone a hard time, and Goku is down with a heart virus. Before Cell absorbs Android 17, watch Cooler's Revenge. It's a high-octane distraction that won't spoil any major plot points.
Super Android 13! (Movie 6)
