Huh? Besides that first sentence, I could barely comprehend anything in that paragraph. Could you maybe re-word it?
What I mean is that her performance as Gohan before he went to high school was very lackluster besides him turning SSJ2 for the first time. The only thing that was significant in her performance was saying otosan a lot

I'm afraid I'm not seeing how it's lackluster. It's only natural that Gohan addresses or refers to his father as "Otosan".

Wasn't Gohan 9 when he turned SSJ2?
I like her performance as Gohan; it's essentially a more civilized version of Kid Goku.

Unpopular Opinion:
I wish some company out there just makes a modern Dragon Ball RPG instead of the same fighting games again and again.
Attack Of The Saiyans sequel pls.
He's said to be 11 in DBZ, if I remember correctly. But if you go back and count the years, he's 10 at the absolute most.

Also, I want an Elder Scrolls-esque Dragon Ball game. A dream that will unfortunately never be fulfilled.

Is that opinion unpopular? I want a sequel to buu's fury.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I'll guess we'll have to agree to disagree then.

Anyways, what is it about her performance that you find lackluster? Is stuff like this lackluster?

Vegeta isn't a much better dad than Goku.

Fights in Dragon Ball Z became a rather lackluster after (and maybe during) Freeza saga. Mainly because almost every non_Saiyan character become useless, and instead of martial arts we have a ki-blast battles. Battles during Cell Saga are particularly jarring, because most of them painfully one-sided. In Cell and Buu sagas I don't remember any clever strategies, any new creative techniques... At they best, they're well animated. At they worst, they're really boring.

It doesn't mean, that Buu and Cell sagas don't have any good battles. We have some exceptions, #16 vs Cell, for example. But, it's a shame, that majority of battles are dull.

On that note, I believe Goku actually is a good dad.

Android 17 vs Piccolo, Cell vs Goku, Gotenks vs Boo are also examples of some good fights by those standards. I personally think most of fights are good even without strategy or creative techniques as long as it has exciting choreography and angles.

I honstely think Piccolo vs #17 is one of the worst fights in the series. The Gotenks, Boo fight is great fun, however.

I wouldn't go that far. He's a pretty good one when he's there, but seeing as how he often spends a lot of time away from home to train.... nah. He's a decent one though. Could be way worse.

I mean granted him being away wasn't his fault except for Cell. But yeah hes not the best though I think some fans go too far with saying he's a deadbeat.

What bothers me is that those same fans tend to say Vegeta is a good dad when he has the same flaws.

Since we're on the subject, I'd honestly just like to say that I've always thought that Goku was the best in his parental duties in the Saiyan and Namek/Freeza arcs.

And especially considering he was a complete douchebag to Bulma and Trunks, almost letting them die, until Cell killed Future Trunks

Good point, I would legitimately say Goku was a good dad in the saiyan saga.
