This isn’t the exact rhythm of the anime’s opening episode, but it’s pretty close. We fish together, make a hot meal on the fire, fly around the world collecting resources on our Flying Nimbus cloud, and head back home to meet with Chi-Chi, Goku’s wife.
I follow behind him, collecting apples as father and son. But instead of heading directly into another battle against a new foe, I’m standing on a trail, watching Goku’s young son, Gohan, toddle into the sunset looking for apples. After a brief training battle and some story cutscenes, Kakarot drops me into the shoes of Goku to go forth and finish my quest.

Dragon Ball Z : Kakarot feels like playing through the series, not just the highlights The majority of the time is spent on the things that happen between the fights, and those moments were almost always glossed over in the games.Įmbracing that filler mostly works in Kakarot’s favor, but may actually make it harder to sell the game to anyone who isn’t already a fan of the show. It’s about hours and hours of filler content - time spent watching characters charge up for a few episodes instead of actually fighting, or Piccolo and Goku learning to drive a car. Fans certainly recognize that a good, over-the-top battle is key to the series, but we also know that Dragon Ball Z is more than bad guys angrily punching each other.
The outside world may see the Dragon Ball Z series as an explosive, ridiculous anime all about punches, energy balls, screaming, and power levels over 9,000.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot takes the Dragon Ball Z video game franchise where it’s always needed to go: into the filler.
