Moreover, several elements from 'Dragon Ball' are revisited or followed up on in later series. Beginning with 'Dragon Ball' might also give fans a different impression of certain characters than they'd get from watching 'Z' first, particularly Yamcha and Yajirobe, who are shown to be more formidable than later series sometimes suggest. Fans also get to see supporting characters like Korin, Master Roshi and Kami feature more prominently, as well as learn the surprising roles longtime allies like Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu had when first introduced. It may be slower-paced than 'Z' and the action scenes aren't quite as flashy, but the show still provides an invaluable look at Goku's early years.
