There are various "official" break-downs of what separates out different "parts" of the overall story, and even more when you turn it over to fans. Some people break DBZ down into, for example, just the Saiyan / Freeza / Cell / Majin Buu "sections". Others, like FUNimation, break them down with more granularity.
This is done for a variety of reasons. When it's done by companies, it's usually for marketing purposes.
Then you get to the actual phrasing. By its very definition, a "saga" is a long, drawn-out account or story. With that in mind, I'd call something like Dragon Ball in its entirety a "saga" -- it's the saga of Goku, or the saga of Dragon Ball. Some folks -- myself included -- would take issue with calling something the "Ginyu Saga", when you're talking about just a handful of chapters or episodes. It's just this tiny little portion of an overall larger story, and it's not truly independent in and of itself.
In Japanese, the word generally used is 編 hen, which is something like "chapter" or, if you will, "arc". For example, Dragon Ball Kai had a distinction made in its home release in Japan after episode 52 as the "Jinzoningen & Cell Hen" -- the "Artificial Humans & Cell Arc".
"Hercule" was completely made up by Funimation. His real name is Mark; his stage name is Mr. Satan. It's literally Mr. Satan in Japanese (ミスター・サタン/Misutā Satan). He doesn't have a family name; the vast majority of DB characters don't.

Dragon Ball is divided into arcs which are then divided into sagas. i.e. The Freiza Arc is made up of the Namek, Ginyu, and Freiza sagas.
Josiah Anderson
>Dragon Ball is divided into arcs which are then divided into sagas. Wrong
Gabriel Miller
Frieza is a very weird character. Not bad, just weird. He's a horrible monster and he does absolutely nothing to change that perception, but he's also something of a comfortable character. The characters of Dragon Ball have become something of a family. Even if they aren't all together all the time, they act like a family. In fact, we see that this is actually working out for Universe 7 quite well, as even the more distant members of the group-like the androids and Vegeta-have something of an emotional investment in keeping their teammates alive. Frieza doesn't have this emotional attachment at all to anyone, but he's a familiar presence to not only the characters, but to us. This is a villain many of us have grown up with, someone who was probably the first main villain for many of us.
Joseph Morris
I don't know why, but I really like how Toriyama did these mid-dying panels. They're goofy and look stupid, yet make clear that this is it for that character.
Christopher Torres
>he is actually talking about xenoverse 2
Jackson Bell
Nah, he'd be outclassed instantly. They really didn't have time to train him.

I frankly think that is a shame that Muten had to fight in what is basically a pajama instead of his Jackie Chun outfit, that was rad as fuck and would have been some quality fanservice.
The show also does not have seasons. they have arcs but hey have never taken seasonal breaks
Easton Johnson
Job?
Kevin Phillips
Vegeta's pretty good. He actively works to be around and take care of his kid in a way. He's still a saiyan and doesn't have a very human method of dealing with things; but he's attentive, where goku basically just runs off at random to train or fight things.

We need U3 Cell first. They say it's the intellectual verse and they don't seem to have something comparable to the Androids. Maji Kayo was cool but still. I hope Katpestra and Paparoni won't disappoint.

I guess U4fags are better than CU6Ks, but still. U4 is garbage. Ganos got knocked out by Roshi.

so beerus can dodge really well similar to how whis can. he is not necessarily stronger or able to beat them all. Is this correct?
Lucas Foster
Yep, Cicadas can evolve.
Luis Russell
4:16 | Goku: Do you think our Universe 7 is sure to easily win? 4:18 | Whis: Who knows? I don't know that much about the other universes. However, there is a universe where lives a mortal that even a God of Destruction can't defeat. That God of Destruction happens to be stronger than Beerus-sama. 4:39 | Beerus: Don't go saying that. I only lost once at an arm wrestling match!

I am pretty sure Jiren is at GoD level, just without being granted the Hakai power.
Jiren for some reasons doesn't want to be a GoD.
Now a freaking weakling like Toppo is going to be the next GoD of universe 11.
Sebastian Sullivan
Why all the deleted post
Benjamin Russell

Because he's stronger than Beerus.

I like the theory that Jiren used to be a GoD in one of the erased universes before he took refuge in U11, and all his GoD powers were stripped away.

God I really hope Goku is next. Not that I don't love him, he's been our hero since the 90s, it would just be a really cool twist. Having him lose to Jiren and not get eliminated even after using the form is just kinda dumb. Let Hit or Vegeta finish him off. Thank god the spoilers make this look possible

Goku actually has got only a few decent wins, the other fights were won only due to the help of others.
In Z I can only remember him being superior to Frieza once he unlocked SS. He toyed with him.
Jason Young
Quitela is best GoD!
Revere him, praise him, adore him!
Anthony Brown
Post your order of eliminations: >Goku to Jiren (110) >Vegeta to Cabba? (113, after eliminating Jiren in 112, he fights the u6 Saiyans but is exhausted from Jiren) >Piccolo to Daemon (114-115) >17 to Brianne (116) >18 finished off by someone after taking out Brianne (116) >Frieza and Gohan make it to the end, but Gohan gets Deathbeamed by him so Frieza gets his own
Goku>Vegeta>Piccolo>17>18>Gohan>Frieza

Why the fuck is everyone assuming that Goku will lose against Jiren? Is there some spoiler that say it?
Oliver Nelson
Do you think the return of the genki is in the outline? I guess it makes sense for Tori to include it since Goku is supposed to break his limits, so using his strongest form (SSBKK in the anime, CSSB in the manga) and his best ofensive technique at same time and fail would be ok, yet Goku forcing a Kaioken until go x20, fail and then use a genkidama which also fails and Goku's last card is a new asspull form seems to be a Namek arc rehash from Toei
Jackson Baker
Because the title of the episode after the special is called Hit VS Jiren.
