This is all the works Toriyama did for Canon DB wit some added descriptions to make things easier to navigate through for newcomers. Jus follow it all from top to bottom & u should be fine. If u got any other questions u can totally ask & I'll prob try to reply the best I can to help asap

Dragon Ball Daima
TV, 2024, 20 eps Me:- Author:10
Not a sequel to Super but still an important Canon Toriyama made DB work.
Takes place after the final saga in Z/Kai & before battle of gods. Can be viewed as the 1st installment u watch, as the installment before the B.O.G movie or as the last installment before any new TV series for DB
Dragon Ball
TV, 1986, 153 eps Me:- Author:10
Skip filler if u want(filler list it)
Dragon Ball Kai
TV, 2009, 97 eps Me:- Author:10
If u run into an "ep. 98" I recommend DON'T watch it till AFTER u watch the very next entry below this. thx for consideration
Dragon Ball Z Special 2: Zetsubou e no Hankou!! Nokosareta Chousenshi - Gohan to Trunks
TV Special, 1993, 1 ep Me:- Author:10
Should watch it after Dragon Ball Kai episode 58
Dragon Ball Kai: Mirai ni Heiwa wo! Goku no Tamashii yo Eien ni
TV Special, 2011, 1 ep Me:- Author:9
This is "ep 98" as stated before it's recommended u don't watch this before seein the prior installment jus above this 1
Dragon Ball Kai (2014)
TV, 2014, 61 eps Me:- Author:9
Dragon Ball Z Movie 14: Kami to Kami
Movie, 2013, 1 ep Me:- Author:10
Make sure to watch the extended version wit 20 minutes of new material.
Dragon Ball Z Movie 15: Fukkatsu no "F"
Movie, 2015, 1 ep Me:- Author:4
I highly recommend to watch ep 18 of Super before u do this movie. It sounds odd but pls do it.
Dragon Ball Super
TV, 2015, 131 eps Me:- Author:6
Skip ep 1-27(it redoes the same movies before this but HORRIBLY wit some extra stuff u might like but isn't necessary)
Skip ep 42-46(if u want cus filler)
Skip ep 68-76(cus filler again tho I do rec 75-76 ngl)

Toriyama designed the new characters and told the Toei screenwriters of wut was guna happen, then they developed the events episode by episode. A manga version started publishin soon after, originally as advertisement for the anime.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly
Movie, 2018, 1 ep Me:- Author:10
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
Movie, 2022, 1 ep Me:- Author:9
Dragon Ball Z Special 1: Tatta Hitori no Saishuu Kessen
TV Special, 1990, 1 ep Me:- Author:9
This is the only 1 that I'd say is "optional" mainly due to the Broly movie creatin questionable canonicity but I still think it bears mentionin & highly recommend regardless. I'd say take the parts that don't contradict in ur head & jus take the rest as the same in both
