Sex & Nudity
-
- In one scene a young boy is talking to a fortune teller and she says "you have two balls" (referring to dragon balls). The young boy pulls down his pants and points to his penis and says "look guys she's right". Full male frontal nudity is shown. His friends are embarrassed and say she was referring to the dragon balls.
- Goku gets naked a lot throughout this series and you see his penis, although keep in mind he is still just a kid. Krillin also gets naked too.
- There are a lot of sexual humor throughout the series, mostly involving Bulma.
- Sexual innuendo, but the series never crosses any boundaries.
- Mild nudity. Some characters' (mostly male children) buttocks are seen from time to time. In one scene a girl's bare breasts are briefly visible (no nipples). One scene features a girl showering and the side of her breasts and her butt can be seen. However, these scenes are not explicit in any way.
- One male child is briefly seen with full frontal nudity, genitalia and all. The scene is non-sexual though and innocent.
Violence & Gore
-
- The final battle in the Piccolo Jr. Saga is much more violent and bloody than the rest of the series.
- The first couple of sagas (story arcs) have mostly slapstick-like violence with a few occasions with minor blood.
- Overall this series isn't really violent. Dragon Ball didn't get really violent until Dragon Ball Z, which is where we see a lot of blood, death, cursing, and dismemberment.
- Contains tons of animated martial arts violence, but is much tamer than its successor, "Dragon Ball Z".
- Lots of fantasy action violence, often involving martial arts and energy-based attacks. The fights do become quite violent in later seasons. Characters on the show die, however, deaths are often undone through wishes made with the Dragon Balls. It may be a bit much for young children, but if your kids have seen PG-13 movies, they can take this.
Profanity
-
- PG language is used throughout
- Name calling such as "moron", "idiot", "brat", etc.
- Middle figure is used twice.
- English dub: "Heck" and "darn" are occasional used. "Dam" was used, but it refers to structure placed around a body of water, one use of "hell" and a couple use of "crap".
- In the English sub, "ass" and "damn" are used, but both are very rare.
- Words like "damn", "crap" and (occasionally) "a--" are used.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Many characters are social drinkers/smokers. Occasionally characters become drunk, however this is rare, and it is always done in a comical fashion. The activities are not condoned or glorified in any way.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Piccolo Jr arc is the most violet and bloody
- Goku transforming into a giant ape can be scare for some younger viewers (even in beginning of the saga), as he has red eyes and sharp teeth, and also rampage.
- The first arc has mild martial arts violence with minor blood. However in much later it gets even more violent.
- Some of the violent/death scenes can be a bit emotional/intense.
Spoilers
Profanity
- Pervert is used throughout the series to define certain characters.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
