    Okay well the manga has over 1000 chapters.

    The anime has 3 series, an OVA (like a long episode) and a movie.

    If you go with the anime watch the first season which has 70-odd episodes, then the movie, then OVA, then the second season which is titled New Challenger, then the third season which is titled Rising.

    And then once you're done with the anime continue with the manga around chapter 550 or something give or take.

    Hope this helps.

    Anybody seen Gabriel Dropout? It's about 2 angels and 2 demons who go to high school on earth. The angels (the blonde and light purple haired) end up a little less angelic. 1 of the demons (the dark purple haired) is ironically the friendliest one in the group. The other demon (the red haired) tries to be evil but just ends up doing innocent silly childish stuff.

    i never agree with anyone who says this, yes DB introduced super powers, but DB is like the most generic basics you get from an anime

    if what your saying was a shade at nen and elements being also general and its in a lot of animes, i was talking more about specific details such as the paper test to figure out what type you are for example

    o ye tropes like that are everywhere

    i agree tho, i dropped db bc it was super boring after having seen countless other shounen, but they established the adventure shounen formula. its generic now bc of what it changed but when it came it was groundbreaking

    aged like milk tho
