Saiyan Arc - Goku didn't screw up. Was just beaten by Oozaru Vegeta.Many of Random's Post wrote:The difference there is that, in each of those arcs, Goku screws up and has to be saved by everyone else. DB would just play the whole thing straight as an arrow.
Freeza Arc - Goku didn't screw up. Freeza blew up the planet. Goku still was praised.
Cyborg - Goku didn't take the medicine. That's a screw up. He was still praised by Trunks.
Cell - Praise by everyone
Boo - The only arc with LESS praise.
Piccolo's Special beam cannon made his ki higher than Raditz. Goku vs Vegeta? Vegeta destroyed Goku in that fight. Goku only had the upperhand when he used an attack that....I don't know.....INCREASES POWER. Vegeta retreating. Let's see. An Oozaru which is 10x smashing a weaker Vegeta with less power than he normally have. Yup the person with less power won! Even though it was more or less a draw. Let's be honest. Vegeta vs Goku wasn't equal(Unless you mean Majin Vegeta). Goku vs Freeza was one sided towards Freeza. Once Goku went SSJ it was one sided for Goku. 16 beat the shit out of Cell. Cell was holding back against Goku. I can name far more in DB.Goku and Piccolo vs Raditz? You know, the very first fight of the series? I can name more if you'd like.
Only 3? Goku vs Vegeta, Goku vs Freeza, 17 vs Piccolo, Cell vs 16, Goku vs Cell... there are plenty here. Those are only a few examples.
How is that an ass pull. It's been one month since the Moon last appeared. Goku still lost and had he never went Oozaru. Goku still didn't get stomped.Oozaru?
Yea. But Krillin still have beaten Goku. Just in a different matter. What are you talking about? Ten could't use the Mafuba because he broke it.Krillin never beat Goku in a fight.
He learned the Mafuba but couldn't use it because Piccolo's fat minion that was one-shot fodder to Goku was able to kick his ass.
He did NOTHING post Raditz besides hold back Cell and almost die. Only for GOKU to save him. Most people would had guess that Goku was removing the weights during JR arc. But for Ten to make Goku remove weights. Kinda a big deal.Ooooh, he forced Goku to use more power, then got easily roflstomped. How useful. The only somewhat worthwhile things he did were in the post-Raditz portions.
Piccolo Jr said pretty much the same thing to Goku. I don't see your point. A villain being a villain.....Was he? If so, that's total BS, because he was never any match for Piccolo. King Piccolo and Piccolo Jr both mocked him for being so worthless to them. KP didn't even bother to one-shot him, instead spitting up another creature so he doesn't have to dirty his hands on such a weakling, while Piccolo Jr outright told him that even if he had ten other guys with him and Jr was half dead, it wouldn't matter, because he sucks so much compared to Piccolo.
Gohan is involved with every major villain defeat? He was involved with Freeza and Boo's defeat? Goku is still the main character because he is carried as such. He is written as such. He just doesn't get screentime. As I'll say this ONE MORE TIME.Gohan gets all the development and screen time and is involved in the defeat of every major villain. Same with Vegeta (except when he was the major villain). How is Goku more the main character than they are? He's barley in the post-Raditz portions.
Goku get hurt
Every panic
Support cast does their shit
Goku comes back to get or soon to get BIG POWER
Goku saves the day.
That seems pretty much the main character to me. Only person above him is Gohan.
He had trouble with Grandpa Gohan. How did he screw up in the Freeza Arc? He rolfstomped everyone not named Freeza in Freeza arc.Goku roflstomped his way through the Baba arc. He actually needed some help when he screwed up in the Freeza arc, and was temporarily surpassed there by Piccolo and Vegeta.
I know. Then you ask. "How is Baba Arc worse than Cell Arc".You said you didn't see how anyone could say that the Baba arc is worse than the Cell arc.
