Who do you wish got killed off in their debut sagas?

Post by AnzuMazaki » Wed May 28, 2008 7:46 pm

Come on, I know you guys wished certain characters got killed off during their debut sagas.

I know some people want certain characters to die in the Pilaf saga, others wanted a certain character to get slaughtered in the Cell Saga, and Rocketman probably wishes that a certain kid he hates got murdered in the Saiyajin saga.

So tell me, who do wish that they could have been killed off in their debut sagas.

Mr. Satan. Even Piccolo said, "Damn, he's alive." when Cell beat him up.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Mr. Satan
Majin Buu
Freeza
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Freeza. Stubborn S.O.B. wouldn't die.

Broly, too. His sequels ruined him as a character. Without them, I think he'd be a bit less crazed over by brainless fanboys and a bit more appreciated by the sensible fans.

QFT. In Movie 8, he had a brain, and was more comparable to Frieza when it came to how evil he was. He mocked that alien race, fired a blast at their home planet and destroyed it in the process, and laughed it off for God's sake. But then, in Movie 10, they turned him into a screaming idiot.

Well, most of these characters did die in their debut arc, but I really wish the Red Ribbon guys died a lot quicker. Jeff was totally right in saying that General Blue just wouldn't die.

Vivi...wait wrong show. I was never too fond of Pan in GT but I guess that wasn't her debut was it? Can I just say "GT Pan"? As awesome as Freeza was there was no reason for him to come back later just to die in 2 episodes either. Oh and Super Buu, he had way too many pointless absorptions.

There was a major reason to bring Freeza back, to show just how powerful Trunks is compared to him and then showing just how much stronger the Artificial Humans are than him.

I think they could have found a better way, especially for all the anime watchers out there who dreaded Freeza coming back for another 26 episodes of filler battle.

What better way is there than having him destroy the very man that took that many episodes to defeat by even a Super Saiyan in one swell swoop of his sword.

I don't believe "swell" is the word you're looking for. :lol:
But fair enough, I just felt Freeza coming back AGAIN was overkill, after the Namek saga I had a little too much of that guy.

The initial slicing him in half is what killed him or was going to if left alone, Trunks just wen't overkill with the slice and dice action.

People will probably jump down my throat for this one, but I kinda wish Vegeta got killed off. Don't get me wrong I love the character, but I would like to see how the story would have progressed after his death. I think like that about many events in Dragonball. There are lots of different alternate realities possible.

Gohan and Krillin are killed by Kwi or Dodoria or Zarbon or Guldo or Recoome.
Rocketman probably wishes that a certain kid he hates got murdered in the Saiyajin saga.


Shockingly....no. I don't mind Gohan as a secondary fighter, like in the Vegeta fight. What I hate is when he gets pushed to being the Big Damn Hero while he's whining about 'dun waaaaannnaaaa fight'. Gohan should never have become a Super Saiyan.
