How long to watch all of Dragon Ball
10 days 15 hours
639 episodes across four series

Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, GT and Super come to 639 episodes and about 256 hours. GT is not based on Toriyama's manga and is skipped by many viewers, which removes 64 episodes and about 26 hours. Super picks up from the end of Z and ignores GT entirely, so the "canonical" watch is 575 episodes. The franchise has also produced more than twenty theatrical films, which are excluded here and would add roughly 25 hours.
