Whereas Dragon Ball Z is just an onslaught of beams and volume.Дragon Ball Z builds its characters through its fighting. You can compare Dragon Ball Z to a show like Trigun, in which a lot of the fight choreography is precise because the charactersвЂ™ movements have value, stakes, and wit assigned to them in the service of winning a battle.
