Can we admit the franchise should have stopped after the Cell Games?

Buu Saga was literally the best part of Z though

Yes

Should have stopped after Freeza.

Considering what we got after it in hindsight? Yes. SHOULD it have stopped, had the Buu saga we got not been a thing? No. There was still much room for us to explore Gohan and his character into young adulthood. What would a child, who thinks he's responsible for his father's death, and is the caretaker of his mother and baby brother at the age of 11, would grow up to be like? Not to mention his transition from meek & passive to reluctantly aggressive. There was so much that could have been done with him yet, and it was all flushed down the toilet to bring the one-note protagonist back. It's a bunch of BS.

No. No one cares for BRAThan nor wants to see him as the last protagonist.

in a perfect world he would have taken elements from the buu saga and did them justice

Fuck no Cell was a terrible villain.

and Buu isn't? he's literally a none-character, he's just evil kirby.

He wasn't terrible but he wasn't really good either. There was nothing savage nor scary about him which makes him kinda halfassed as a villain.

way to out yourself as someone who skipped Buu Saga or is just actually a retard

yep, goku dies, gohan carries his torch, the end

fuck off faggot. buu is a shit character. cell's not great, but at least he's got a cool design over lmao pink blob. I'll kill you.

fuck off faggot. cell is a shit character. buu's character design is great, and he has actual development over evil bugman perfection lmao. I'll kill you.

>savage
>scary
That's the contrast between his design and his actions, Buu is more savage and scary than Cell and Freeza combined.

Buu has reputation, Cell is just jizz

Apparently, Toriyama wanted Goten to be the main character after Cell Games ended, but there was a huge backlash about that so he brought back Goku

No, Buu was still plenty enjoyable and had some of the shows most iconic moments. We also got to see Vegeta's arc completed, and everything comes full circle in general.

>We also got to see Vegeta's arc completed
yeah, until it's undone in the Z epilogue, and he goes right back to being insecure.

Super definitely should not have happened
It is dog shit

no you are fucking retarded,buu saga completes character vegetas arc
+
The narrative switches from mc to mc because there isn’t a mc in the Buu arc to show us Goku is passing the torch.(they only win because of earths ppl+mr satan)

GT & super shoudent have happened tho,DB is done at the actual DB's ending.

I dropped DBZ when the Buu saga ended

This. Plus Freeza.

>Can we admit the franchise should have stopped after the Cell Games?
Obviously

He is magic Cell with the same abilities as Cell but with no personality whatsoever. The whole damn thing was just a repeat of the same beats we got in the Cell saga.
>Random new guy shows up and tells Goku and friends that they need their help to stop some new villain
>Fights new villains
>All of a sudden here comes even bigger badder villain
>Heroes must go training real fast while new villain starts fucking up Earth
>Heroes get new powered up form, fight villain
>Villain transforms, hero loses
>Get new trained up form, fight villain
>Villain transforms again, heroes lose
>Start doing dragonball shenanigans while Goku stalls them

Except the Buu saga just sort of spirals after the Superbuu vs Vegito part.

Kid Buu was pure chaotic evil, something the series was missing up to this point, especially since Perfect Cell felt kinda like Freeza, who already felt like King Picollo?

That is every arc you deepshit.

>Sets up Gohan with a detailed backstory for the audience to witness.
>Timeskip after he beats Cell.
>Mini-Goku is the new protagonist.
>Fans hate this fact
>Goku becomes the protagonist instead.
WHY

just make gotenks be the hero of Boo arc

if he wasn't an exponential retard from the square of two retards, Gotenks would have beat Buu singlehandedly
SSJ3 Gotenks could rip open dimensional barriers on his own, something that neither Goku nor Vegeta could do but only when they fused in Super Broly and clashed with SSJ Broly did it finally happen
