Fillers are scenes and entire episodes added to the Dragon Ball 🐲 and Dragon Ball Z anime that are not included in the Dragon Ball manga. Fillers can be used to create new stories, but not in a way that is detrimental to the status quo. Sometimes, scenes are enhanced with flashbacks and evidence from the manga, as well as the Gotenks fight against Super Buu in Kami’s Watchtower, where Piccolo refers to the Garlic Jr. saga. Many fillers can be found in Dragon Ball Z, as the manga and anime were originally created in parallel. For example, the Garlic Jr. saga was only introduced in the anime because the Trunks Saga had not been published in the manga at the conclusion of the Frieza Saga in the anime.

In Dragon Ball Z Kai, as much filler as possible was eliminated, but some couldn’t be removed because they were too integral to the series.
