That is one of the things that irked me about the series being that Saiyans being way overpowerd while the other characters are just sidenotes! I complainted about this awhile ago when I was playing games at my cousins house but he countered with this question "What can the other characters do?" I was stumped at first but then after some research I know now that Chiaotzu has psychic powers, Tien has psychic powers, Yamcha has a variety of energy blasts plus the Wolf Fang Fist, Krillin can utilize energy blasts as well, Piccolo supposedly possesses near godlike powers and he can regenerate. Why are the saiyans the only ones in DBZ anime hogging the spotlight? They are too overpowered! They needed to be turned down a peg to give the other characters a chance.

Piccolo as the Super Namek is still the most badass character in the series...regardless of how his power compares to the ascended super saiyans.

Scratch that. Android 16 is the most badass character. I LOVE that giant oaf.

Well another thing that kinda got to me in the DBZ series is that when an enemy is too strong and seems impossible to defeat a strange coincidence(hidden powers/power of the dragonballs) shows up and saves some of the heroes(Goku coming back to life every time till the end of GT)

Example is when Broly was nearly impossible to defeat and was beating up everyone till they give all their remaining energy to Goku then Goku punches Broly in his stomach which opens up an old wound and he blows up...that irk me a bit but I enjoyed the story about the other survivors of Planet Vegeta and then it gave a reason for Freiza to actually destroy the Planet at the hint of Broly birth...that was good and acceptable but it seemed funny that he would hold a grudge against Goku for making him cry when he was a baby...

heh whatever DBZ stories at least make sense when examined but as for the reason for them dropping characters to focus on others is the way of business I guess

Good anime actually i just finished watching DBZ about a week ago although i still like DB better.Plus there was a weird part in the story i noticed one thing I think they messed up with was the first episode of Dragon Ball Z so as it turns out Goku's brother Raditz Says that planet Vegeta was destroyed by a comet 3 years ago from the time he arrives on planet earth to see goku witch meant goku was around 15-17 years old.But if you watch the Bardok movie planet Vegeta was destroyed when goku was still just alittle baby.So anyone else that watched the Dragon Ball series notice this.

Is it me or am i just going insane.

I ain't watch DB, Z, GT or another of the other letters .

When i was little i watched it a hell of alot. I hated Gohan when he was like a little kid but when he was like sorta 10-13 or so the Cell Saga and when he went all crazy and turn saiyan and pwned all the little blue Cells that was when he kicked ass.

But then when he was 15-18 or so i hated him he was kinda stupid =/.

I remember that and even if I had missed some of the episodes where Gohan fought Cell, I liked that fight but I also like how the fight against Cell ended with Cell turnung into well cells. It ws probably one of the most memorable moments in anime history.

zomg I LOVE DB! Unfortunatly my friends kept saying that it's gay so I stopped watching it just to be cool
I have fully viewed all the series of DB and DBZ.

My favorite character is Goku. I really like it when he was Super Sayian 4 and fused with Vegeta as SS4 as well.

I think that it's amazing that Goten turned into SS1 as a child. That's most inpressive.

Personally, I despise the fact that Goten and Trunks become super saiyans at such a young age. It makes the accomplishment seem less significant. Goten and Trunks (not future Trunks) don't even endure a tragic event that pushes them to that level. They just randomly decide to transform, it seems.

They aren't even portrayed as being exceptionally powerful until they fuse together.

Agreed, Android 18 was able to handle both of them, in their super saiyan states in the World Martial Arts Tournament, yet when they fused to make Gotenks they could take on Buu? Madness.

The whole Super Saiyan was supposed to be this legendary mystical level of strength that only few are able to achieve but overtime is just became a gimmick that every character in DBZ anime can turn into Super Saiyan. LULZ
