DBZ is meant for mature audiences who can handle violence and cursing etc, don't be fooled by those age recommendations on the boxes they are there to show the choking hazard of the toys but what I'm trying to say here is that you need to be atleast 10-12 to watch the show and collect the figures for display reasons ...
Still, there's no shortage of violent scenes; characters get hurt, unconventional weapons are used, and the dialogue includes language about killing, decimating, and destroying. While the show is massively appealing to anime fans, parents need to be aware that the strong violent visuals may frighten some kids.
DRAGONBALL IS NOT A KIDS SHOW! Some of the content of the show is not suitable for children, particularly the uncut Japanese version. The English translation does try to clean it up a bit, but it still contains some things anyone under 10 shouldn't be exposed to.
The characters use violence to solve problems, which suggests that violence is an acceptable ways to sort out conflict. Because of its violence, as well as its coarse language, scary scenes and scary characters, we don't recommend Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' for children under 8 years.
Violence & Scariness. This is a show about martial arts so there is tons of hand-to-hand fighting. Dragon Balls' violence varies from simple slapstick to life-or-death struggles. There are a few times characters are killed by being beaten to death, stabbed, or vaporized by a supernatural attack.
If your 9 years old can handle PG-13 movies, DBZ should be fine. I feel like the violence in DBZ is not much different than what they put out in theaters these days (Look at movies like A Quiet Place for example). I feel like a 9-year-old should handle DBZ just fine since it is rated TV-PG.
The game contains some suggestive material: a menu screen depicting adult magazines (women with deep cleavage, no nudity); suggestive descriptions of items and characters (e.g., “A risqué magazine, stored away in a random capsule by Dr. Briefs”; “...he is...
I would say DBZ is appropriate for kids of 11 years or older.
Other than the scenes noted above, there's nothing of concern in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero for children aged 8-13 years. There's nothing of concern in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero for children aged over 13 years.
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “some action/violence and smoking.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a flirtatious remark, some partial nudity, many fight scenes among people and cyborgs and aliens with superpowers that cause a lot of property damage and one death and some injuries with blood, and some ...
The "Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve" arc (Season 1 on Netflix) is rated TV-14 for fear, gore, violence and language. Not only did it introduce Tanjiro's devastating discovery of his slaughtered family, but during the mountain training episodes, there were some very disturbing scenes and imagery.
Its target demographic is generally boys aged ~8+. So yeah, it's a kids show. Not a little kids show but a show aimed at young boys and young teens.
The age rating of anime can range from kid-friendly to adult content, even pornographic in nature. Some types of anime aren't appropriate for kids because they have sexually explicit content while others include, mature themes that your child might not understand.
Violence & Gore (9)
The bulk of DBZ is made of up fights which can contain dismemberment, blowing holes into each other and even death. However, the violence is incredibly fantastical with all of the aforementioned damage incurred by "energy beams" or "ki attacks". Depending on the version shown, there may be blood.
Dragon Ball is a Japanese anime that was produced by Toei Animation. It was released on July 5, 2015 and is still ongoing. Due to Toonami France wanting to make the show appeal to a younger audience, some scenes were censored. Violence and sexuality were toned down.
Rated PG-13 for some action/violence and smoking.
Its probably more of a teen thing. Dbz features a lot of violence, blood, and references to sex (though thats more of a cultural thing as japan is more willing to have sexual themes in kids shows). So as someone who works with kids, id say its probably something kids should be at least be preteens to watch.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is rated PG-13 for some action/violence and smoking which means some content may not be suitable for kids under 13.
While One Piece is anything but a children's show, older tweens and up can have a fun romp while watching this gem of a Japanese anime.
The series experiences a 10-year jump which means Goku is (bear with us) 37 but chronologically 44.

There are fight scenes though, which is basically what Dragon Ball Super is all about. I would give this a 9 and up just because the fighting may be a little scary for little kids. But overall this is an amazing anime masterpiece. Highly recommend.
Some 13+ scenes, but mostly ages 10+
Negatives: Lots of violence, blood, very rarely some slightly suggestive outfits, although there is no actual nudity.
Demon Slayer is rated TV-MA. The central core of the anime is about Tanjiro's training as a slayer and desire to cure his sister. Demons in the show are primarily ruthless, murderous creatures who devour their victims. The anime depicts these attacks graphically, blood and gore are a staple of the series.
Widely considered as one of the greatest shonen anime of all time and credited for providing the bedrock for what makes a successful shonen, Dragon Ball can be enjoyed by watchers of all ages.
