Wait, people were actually surprised Ichigo was a hollow? Didn't they blatantly do a whole training arc on controlling his hollow self or something?

None of teens looked like teens. Remember Gohan's high school? His "main rival" there was super beefed up and looked like he could've been Tien's fighting partner.

Babidi and Buu wouldn't matter in Trunks's timeline because the only reason why Buu revived was because Supreme Kai is a stupid idiot and let Gohan be absorbed and later lead the 3 most powerful fighters to fight and fuel his rebirth.

The issue might be less with those 3 and more that the other dozen VA's probably make it hard to continue. Think about how many more VA's they have to get for Buu Saga and then tell them to keep in contact for the next 2-3 years.

What was considered the strongest warrior at the time, Gohan at SSJ2 (before Goku was secretly hiding he was once again the strongest), drained fully on purpose was still not enough to power Majin Buu. It needed energy again from the fighting Gohan/Vegeta/Goku did in Buu's energy abortion thing.

Dabura is a super cool villain and deserved more than the two episode's worth of attention he got. He had a ton of cool powers and a respectable amount of strength, but unfortunately he got sidelined due to Buu being the ultimate goal and the insane power gain of the main characters. I feel as though he should have had an arc of his own earlier in the show.

Unfortunately his battle rival was Gohan, and we all know how the Buu arc handled Gohan in general.

Buu Saga would've been good if it ended the way it teased for the entire series which is Gohan takes over and beats the big bad when everyone's dead instead of "lol nope Goku saves the day again."

SSJ3 Gotenks would've beaten Buu if it weren't for the worst drawback of playing around because of super arrogance. Otherwise the only useful application was getting enough of a power boost to open dimensional holes by yelling a lot.

The problem - and it's not his fault - was that they were played constantly. There was never a silent moment in the old Funimation dub.

There was and still is never silence in any american cartoon show aimed at young kids. This wasn't just a DBZ toonami thing.

This brings up a question: if Hercule were in Dragonball, instead of Dragonball Z, would he be a bigger deal, silly and cowardly personality aside? Would he be able to fight against the main cast legitimately or would he turn out like King Chappa and be taken out in the preliminaries?

I think the Radditz fight in DBZA is pretty bad but it picks up from there pretty quick. I don't think there's a huge gap between the Saiyans and the Freeza arc.

The constant meta jokes around making Nappa the star was incredibly grating. Killing him off was what really started the quality because their joke crutch was gone and Vegeta became his own guy instead of a straight man.

There's some jokes that just don't land (Zarbon is pretty funny when he's accidentally spouting innuendo but there's still an uncomfortable 'lol homos' aura around him, a lot of the Nappa stuff, Dodoria) but there's nothing that's so bad as to ruin the stuff that does land.

Zarbon is a meta joke because Kaiser is gay.

Everyone wears weighted clothing all the time, starting from Goku and Krillin putting on a turtle shell at Roshi's. Then everyone forgets about the secret art of wearing heavy poo poo until kami tells goku to wear heavy poo poo for the 23rd tenkaichi.

Weighted clothes was used in the heavens filler tournament (after Cell saga, before Great Saiyaman). They even made a joke about it.

Had he shown up in Dragonball, he probably would have handily beaten everyone short of Goku and Jackie Chun in the series' first Budokai, possibly beating Krillin. Beyond that the series starts escalating to the point that he could never hope to compete without picking up ki manipulation.

Not even Krillin, considering he could keep up with Roshi/Chun's super speed even in the 1st tournament arc.
