I agree, though I did miss those characters that were written out (Lunch, 16, Mai, etc.)... and I actually like the Garlic Jr. saga. *rifle shot*

You not like Freeza?

I thought it was a shame for him to be taken out like that... talk about a humiliating defeat.
I liked Freeza, but I just wanted him to die.

Oh when I meant that I meant Goku was the hero that died twice and was supposed to stay dead. Goku had passed the touch to Gohan two times and Goku still ends up saving the day.

He was separated, not "destroyed". The anime made an "attempt" at showing Vegetto in pain; the manga was a few chapters of Buu getting raped.

Freeza should've died but not like that..(This reminds me of that scene in the first Matrix with Apoc(?) "Not like this, not like this")

Why? Don't like Gohan being in the spotlight?
No I meant to say I hate people that bitch about the post Namek sagas.

Ah, okay. That's understandable, I suppose.

Best change: Making it more serious from the Piccolo Daimao saga onwards.

Worst change: Almost completely ignoring Tenshinhan and Yamcha after the Saiyans arrived.

That clears a lot of things up because there are people saying that it's good as well as a lot saying it's bad. So I was like "WTF, mates?"

Also I think Freeza had the greatest death in the history of anything. First he was cut in half, the halves cut into pieces, then the pieces were incinerated.

Best Change: Gohan when he grew some balls and went totally bad ass when fighting Cell.

Worst Change: World Tournament Saga, when he changed back :(

Best Change: When he regrew his balls and fought Buu.

Worst Change: When he said he ''wouldn't'' be fighting in the tournament.... bye, bye cool Gohan...

Why do people always find this impossible. Five spacepods landed right next to Frieza's spaceship, it's not luck that he found one when trying to take-off with Frieza's ship.

My best and worst changes start with the Buu Saga.

Best: The fact that Buu changed personality in each form he took.
Worst: Characters like Gotenks, Gohan and Vegetto were all set up seeming to be the one to bring an end to Buu but get absorbed and Buu was eventually killed by a Spirit Bomb.

End of Z/Start of GT

Best: Gohan's glasses.
Worst: Gohan's new personality.

GT

Best: Vegeta's facial hair.
Worst: The rest of Vegeta's hair, The fact Uub never won against anyone despite being Buu reincarnated and the fact Goku was the only one who took down a major villian (Everyone else just got weaker DBZ Henchmen and the Red Ribbon Army with no trouble).

Best: The change to a darker style of storytelling in the Piccolo Daimou arc. I prefer DB to DBZ, but I'm glad the series got rid of the 'Goku has wacky adventures, trains, then fights new rival in world tournament' format before it got stale.

Worst: The way Tenshinhan was useless post-DB. Yamcha had good roles throughout all of DB, but Ten was only prominent in the 22nd World Tournament and the Piccolo Daimou arc. After that he became one of the many 'friends' in the phrase 'Goku and Friends'.

Ten's not useless, he saved Piccolo( I think it was Piccolo) from Cell and saved Gohan(or Gotenks, I forgot) from Buu.

The fact that he finds a ship the last minute, boards it, fires it up, and is far enough from the planet's explosion in the span of.. ten seconds. :? I find that very odd even for Dragonball...

Yeah..when the hero is in an epic battle against probably the most powerful fighter in the universe, he has time to plan out reviving and evacuating the people to planet across the universe, give time to his opponent to go full power, and then fight some more. The hero then walks away commenting that he can barely make it if he leaves then. But guess what?

He has to fight again and give his opponent power only to have one last power struggle. After that, he searches for a ship and finds out that it is unable to fly. So as the planet is exploding and he screams that he can't stop it, he has time to find an undamaged ship in all of this chaos, board it, and escape the planet's explosion. Mind you, this is in the span of five minutes. I don't care if its what genre it is, that is stretched way too thin.

More or less. And the way it's paced in the Manga brings no unrealism to the situation either.

Best: Probably the whole Cell Saga
Worst: Almost all characters in GT, especially Trunks, Gohan, Goten and Vegeta..they all sucked in GT
