The Raditz fight in the first few episodes sets the stage, but the show really shines starting around episode 16 with the Saiyan invasion.
By the time the Saiyan Saga gets going and Vegeta shows up, around episode 5, you're in for a wild ride!
Trust me, you won鈥檛 have to wait long. The action ramps up quickly, especially once Goku faces off against Raditz!
Hot take: Dragon Ball Z is good from episode 1. Don't skip anything if you want the full experience!
