[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (13 children) that is a constant in Dragon Ball. enemies get defeated, surpasseda and then they become entourage permalink fedilink source hideshow 13 child comments replies: [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 18 points 1 year ago It was hilarious watching Dragon Ball after growing up on Dragon Ball Z. When Yamcha shows up and is a threat I lost it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago Piccolo noooooooooooooo! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (3 children) The list of opponents Goku agrees need to be eliminated is much shorter than the list of ones he wants to fight again when they are stronger. Despite most of them after the start of DBZ being existential threats. Though he goes back and forth on Frieza lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) Frankly speaking Frieza has somewhat mellowed out, probably the end result of being killed and sent to hell a couple times. He went from let's genocide the filthy monkeys to let's torture the filthy monkeys, which is progress I guess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) I'm not sure if the anime will ever get there, but if you read the manga past the end of Super (which ends on the Tournament of Destruction saga last I checked, like the one with Jiren, and then the Brolly movie), there's more Frieza development. Btw I suggest reading even the parts at the start; it's more of a companion piece than the retelling of the exact same story on a different medium. There is overlap between them, of course, but also a bunch of not overlap. Like Zamasu is more fleshed out and his whole path makes more sense in the manga. Anime has more fighting, manga has more story telling. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago Eh I'll stick with Z super and the newer stuff isn't really my thing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (6 children) I'm in the cell saga of dbz.
