Lol Gohan turned out to be such a dweeb, can't believe piccolo would let him go so soft
Gohan ended up being a better dad than Goku I’ll say that much
Nah I think he wanted to make Gohan the protagonist going forward but they wouldn’t get off Gokus nuts
yeah i explained it in a different response, but basically after freeza he wanted to leave it open so another writer could do a gohan sequel series. then they locked him in for cell so he tried to set up gohan again. and then when they double locked him for buu he just said f*** it and wrote the sequel series. but by then everyone loved goku and gohan had such inconsistent characterization toriyama got cold feet and switched it back
Hot take. Frieza was a good villain and all but Cell Saga was DBZ’s peak.
Better transformations.
Better fights.
Everybody got time to shine. Android 17 vs Piccolo, Vegeta turning SSJ for the first time and trashing the fat android, Trunks debut, The mo hawked Android learning about the importance of life, Gohan turning SSJ2 and murking Cell
Hot take, imperfect cell>>>> perfect
A weird creepy bug man sneaking around and picking ppl off they can't sense his location >>>> my power level so high I can just tank everything
Imagine if he got his way, but just turned it into a great sayaman villain of the week gag Manga
Nah Gohan was deff finna turn up, that’s why they had the Ultimate Gohan s*** in Majin Buu but the suits / fans couldn’t let go of Goku being the main character

Yeah this makes sense it lines up with my explanations too.
It’s so wild to me cuz Gohan is a more interesting character than Goku anyway
Yeah, power levels got so out of hand in freeza saga since it was the climax it left him in a tough spot moving forward
yeah if you think about it, up until freeza the gokus arc is perfect and is completely fulfilled. it follows him from boyhood to adult as we watch him become the greatest fighter in the universe. super-sayain was supposed to be climax of the series; a once in a lifetime thing etc. its only after all that did the plot get super messy
i typed mango instead of manga
i'm just gonna leave it there for entertainment
im eating a mango right now so i dont mind

I wasn't a fan of what they did with vegeta, on namek vegeta was that dude, was willing to do whatever it took to survive, from sneak attacks to ganging up on ppl ect, then later on he's suddenly this pretentious double who laughs at the idea of ganging up on cell, I get that super saiyan power made him turn ridiculously cock but namek vegeta>>>
Yeah this makes sense it lines up with my explanations too.

yeah i think buu would've been cool with almost no goku involvement. just for something different

It’s crazy how a lot of DBZ villains starting forms be more interesting than their final forms which just end up being “grrrr my power level” that’s why I hate the Buu saga so much.
The whole story is “Buu is so powerful and we can’t beat him until we can”
yeah i think buu would've been cool with almost no goku involvement. just for something different
If I’m being honest I would’ve had Goten kill Buu like Gohan killed Cell

yeah and then its like nebulous how exactly they can???? like why is kid buu stronger than the other versions of buu? he had ss3 gotenks and mystic gohan in there wtff???
If I’m being honest I would’ve had Goten kill Buu like Gohan killed Cell
real for that
If I’m being honest I would’ve had Goten kill Buu like Gohan killed Cell
at least give goten something to do jfc

Another bone to pick is the moments of badass strategy always get ruined by "lol power level"
Piccolo badass trick attack on 17? Taken away by force field
Vegetas ultimate destruction sacrifice? Lol regeneration
Gokus teleport Kamehameha? LOL regeneration
And there's so many instances of this, like damn at least let strategy play a role SOMETIMES

dude vegeta's the best character in dbz they did him so dirty as it went on. you're right in namek he's a f***ing scammer just living his life
yeah i explained it in a different response, but basically after freeza he wanted to leave it open so another writer could do a gohan sequel series. then they locked him in for cell so he tried to set up gohan again. and then when they double locked him for buu he just said f*** it and wrote the sequel series. but by then everyone loved goku and gohan had such inconsistent characterization toriyama got cold feet and switched it back
this is so interesting to know

Yea cuz of “Saiyan pride” or some s***. But if you’re gonna do all that give my guy some more Ws lol

if what you're saying is imperfect cell was a far more hideous and terrifying force than it's hard to disagree
but perfect cell is a far more awe demanding opponent than a bug-man

Vegetal sacrifice being useless was so foul LMAO
this is so interesting to know
yeah the thing to remember about dbz is that it carried jump pretty single-handedly throughout the 90's the only reason dragon ball gt was even made was because the people at jump were afraid of losing the time slot on tv
Yea cuz of “Saiyan pride” or some s***. But if you’re gonna do all that give my guy some more Ws lol
On namek dude had trunks motto, kill everything asap
Cell saga vegeta woulda put the ginyu force into the health restore tanks so they could fight him at full strength when they woke up
Vegetal sacrifice being useless was so foul LMAO
man cries in front of his son saying i wish i hugged you more and then its undone in the first 10 minutes of the next episode
