What Sticks Out About Dragon Ball Z Sagas?

(AfroGamers.com) Sagas in Dragon Ball Z have always been oddly defined. A saga is often a long tale about the life and adventures of the protagonist.

(AfroGamers.com) So, earlier this month, GameStop saw a massive jump in its stock price. This is after years of just not being a store worth paying attention to and some closing up shop for good. However, there was a time when GameStop didn’t suck and there was a reason to go there to get games. Mind you, it’s not the best reason as to why it wasn’t so bad but it’s a reason.
