What character would you have given a bigger role?

I've also got to throw my hat into the ring with Lunch. While there are a ton of characters I would have liked to see get more development, at least they got continuous screen-time! Why, Toriyama-san? Why did you forget about Lunch?

As a sub-vote, I also would have liked it if the animal-people had stuck around. Where the heck did they all go off to?

Vegeta has been known to eat sentient beings.

You do the math.

That's a lot of sentient beings for Vegeta to have chowed down on. Yajirobe probably helped him out a bit. *sniff* Poor animal-people.

I would like to see someone from Freeza's race to fight alongside with the sayajins.

it's still the part of the series where humans can be players without having some bullshit powerup like people whine that Tenshinhan should've had.

You are the one who is whining all the time against it.
Every time someone says something about it,there you go with an irony or something else, leave it man.
This is a damn cartoon, i can also say that the powerups given to the sayajins or piccolo are bullshit too.

How can he surpass a powerup that unlocks EVERY SCRAP OF HIDDEN POWER HE HAD?

It was supposed to unlock EVERY SCRAP OF HIDDEN POWER GOHAN HAD too.
Plus,the last time i checked i saw goku doing the same with holy water,then he broke his limits over and over again,the same can be said about the other characters.

I really think that GT should have done more with Uub.
He is the reincarnation of the most powerful being in the universe, yet he never deals with his transformation from evil to good. He never had any hallucinations, and his confrontation with Mr. Buu was not what I had in mind.
Based on the fact that untrained kid Uub could challenge Goku would make me think that maybe after 10 years or so Uub would at least be able to take out Vegeta (who could never go SSJ3). I am thinking the Dragon Universe in DBZ:B3

I agree with you.Uub was such a good character with so many potential,but hey if you want a good DBZ you just need to put 3 thousand sayans in the story.

Everybody who isn't a Saiyan.

That would be a good one too.

Re: Hidden power.

Was anything ever stated to unlock every last bit of potential a character had?
I know we had powerups and unlocked potential things throughout the series (Karin's water, Saichoro's ... thing he does...), but were any plainly said to unlock everything one had?

And just to join the bandwagon: damn shit fuck bullshit damn shit shit hell!
... Maybe I should have color-coded it so it'd be actual "colorful language"? -_-.+

Gohan can't turn Super any more, he doesn't get a zenkai after Gotenks-Buu beats him down, and he no longer gets a power boost from pitching a hissy fit.

Also Elder Kai outright states that his powerup takes people beyond their limits.

How do you know he didn't get a Zenkai?

I also really doubt Gohan literally had all of his potential unlocked. The similar was stated for Krillin on Namek after Guru's power-up, and yet both Gohan and Krillin continued to train and get stronger. All Saiyans are supposed to have "infinite" potential.

Buu says his power didn't rise at all.

Uub should have been useful at least slightly to justify Son running out on his family for seven years to train him

That's what has always annoyed me the most about that.

What exactly was stated about Saichoro's potential-unlocking?

Have to say, still wish Toriyama had him and Tien learn Kaioken. Yeah there was that whole thing about whether their bodies could handle it, but given their time at King Kai's and fact they were stronger than Goku was when he was there, think they could've pulled it off.

What character would you have given a bigger role? Gee I dunno, how about ALL of them. Besides Goku of course.

But if I had to pick I say Tenshinhan was missed opportunity. Uub would be another character with huge untapped potential. It felt like his ten year training with Goku was all for nothing.

I'd honestly say I'd like to see Lunch and Tenshinhan have bigger roles. And maybe even Yajirobe.

Chaozu. He got the short end of the stick every time there was a big fight, it was kind of sad. I would've like to see him and Kulilin develop some sort of rivalry, and maybe keep his psychic abilities relevant.
