The most important thing is spirit energy, which should obviously be tied to a character arc. Character searches for a truth and a resolution, struggles against another character's resolution, then overcomes their own internal issues, thus being able to overcome the external issue.

It's a pretty basic structure that keeps each storg interesting and meaningful. Of course, this being Toriyama, whether he felt like actively writing meaning or not was a crapshoot.
