That's not a disadvantage against Cell or other villains and the wish can still be undone next time to become mortal again.

The Green Goblin trying to impale the guy with a spider-sense from behind, when he's standing right in front of him. Oops.


....Oh yeah, Dragon Ball.

"Screaming Angry Wombat" comes to mind (not sure what was said in the original for that attack). Buu thinking that Vegetto couldn't find him through the smoke. Cell's "Grade 3" moment.

Beside what was already said:
- Piccolo telling Radditz about Dragon Balls
- Nail telling Freeza about distraction plan
- Cell in his last form made so many stupid decisions, he should be called Moron Cell
- Tenshinhan and Yamucha wanting to watch Cell Games, they know they are outclassed, yet they kept getting in way of heroes (At least in Buu Saga, they finally left battlefield)

Most all of the problems faced in this series can almost be directly attributed to a Saiyan or the actions and/or decisions he chooses to make.

Gohan wanting to "make Cell suffer" when his coach, read father, whose got way more experience is screaming "Hey dumbass this guy's unstable! End it now!!"

Gohan not sensing Boo sneaking up on him and the gets absorbed -_-

Freeza using his remaining energy to blast Goku.

Piccolo, Thenshinhan, and 18 attacking Beerus after Majin Buu gets owned :lol:

This is an 80s/90s animated all-ages show that was popular amongst kids. It's not some potent super weapon that might fall into the wrong hands that we have to protect from evil.

That was what I was going to say. Vegeta and Goku are Full-Blooded Saiyans, and Full-Blooded Saiyans are notorious in this fandom for having an irrational thirst for battling to the point of doing stupid things for the sake of fighting throughout this series.

Here's one: In movie 11, there was a scene where Trunks and Goten were standing on each other's shoulders to look in a window, and the one on the bottom kept complaining that they couldn't see.

Um, hello? You can both fly. :roll:

  • Goku showing mercy to Raditz & Freeza.
  • Kuririn breaking the remote.
  • Vegeta helping Cell to absorb #18.
  • Gotenks vs Boo.

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Whenever Gotenks was on screen he wan an utter MORON.

And also krillin destroying the remote was the single most STUPIDEST plot point in the whole series.

Hmm... a green guy, dressed in purple, tries to kill the hero who has just lost someone really important thanks to him, but ends up dying with a hole in his chest. But hey! His son takes over the mantle and tries to kill the hero to avenge his father, but some time later, he proves that he isn't evil anymore.

Does this sound a bit like Dragon Ball?
