10 Best Dragon Ball Z Filler Episodes That Are Worth Watching

Dragon Ball Z Kai offers a trimmed version of the series, enhancing pacing and modernizing the show without losing charm. Filler episodes like "Power of the Spirit" and "Celebrations With Majin Buu" add depth to characters in unique ways. Non-canon additions, such as "Goku vs. Pikkon" and "A Girl Named Lime," provide entertaining and insightful perspectives.
Dragon Ball Z is among the most iconic, recognizable, and enduring anime series of all time. Having begun airing 25 years ago alongside the ongoing manga, however, the show is riddled with filler that often disrupts the pacing. A solution to that issue was presented in Dragon Ball Z Kai, an abridged version of the original series that trims the fat, along with adding re-recorded dialogue and a cleaned up soundtrack.
In this ultimate version of Dragon Ball Z, despite likely being the best way to experience the anime, it is undeniable that a certain charm was lost to modernization.
