3 things you would do to make dbz much better

[King Koopa]

How is this different from the other countless Ls Vegeta has took?

-Keep the human characters (and Piccolo) competitive with the Saiyans and relevant to the plot (this is a big one).
-Probably leave Goku dead after the Cell Saga
-Probably wouldn't have bothered creating Goten, the only point of his character was to fuse with Trunks (and fusions were lame IMO)



Bonus: I'd actually stick to the Dragonball rules that they always found a way to circumvent. Meaning that the "you can only be brought back to life once" actually means once and that's it. IMO, the biggest problem with DBZ is that they made death way too cheap. It was hard to care when anybody died (regardless of how dramatic Toriyama tried to make it) when you know they'll just be revived at the end of the arc.

-Yamcha, Tien, Chaotzu, and Piccolo die at the end of Saiyan Saga - "eh, they'll just be revived" (and they are)

-Vegeta and Dende and all the Namekians are killed by Frieza "eh, they'll all get revived" (they do)

-Frieza kills Krillin "That was grimey. But he's just gonna get revived..." (he does)

-Androids 17 and 18 literally get eaten by Cell "Eh, they'll probably get brought back someow" (they are)

-Cell kills Future Trunks "They're just gonna revive him at the end of the arc" (they do)

-Vegeta sacrifices himself to kill Buu "Eh, he'll be back sooner or later" (he is)

-Buu kills...everybody, eventually, aside from Goku, Mr. Satan, and Dende - "Oh, they're definitely all getting revived" (they do)


Hell, in the Cell Saga Goku had to go out of his way to stay dead and he still got brought back eventually. It was just hard to care when anybody got killed in DBZ when they always come back (unless they're villains). You know death is cheap when Piccolo tells Buu to kill the other 6 billion people on earth just to buy a couple minutes of time (knowing they can be wished back).

1. Made Majin Vegeta like a recurring issue he has to deal with.
2. Make Broly a main character
3. Make Piccolo lowkey the second strongest fighter in the universe under Goku

 

[Wild self]

Give Piccolo a Mystic power up similar to Gohan, like him having the power of SSj 2.5 or Fat Buu.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

I'd close the book at the Cell saga, do an epilogue 3 years later where Gohan's in the martial arts tournament and meets Videl and all of that shyt. I thought the Cell saga wrapped the whole series up tightly and decisively ended so many character arcs. Piccolo and Kami are one again, Goku dies a hero and Gohan continues his legacy, Trunks saved his future, Vegeta comes to terms with being a walking L but is down for his family now, Krillin potentially finally got da p*ssy, etc. The Buu saga felt so redundant outside of further Vegeta character development.

Iirc Goten's purpose was to be give us the goku vibe (looks exactly like him) while Goku was dead

Looking back, IDK if I'd finish the show as cell saga, as massive stan and i do enjoy Buu Saga, but I would be content with that tbh

Yeah, I'd probably end if after the Cell Saga.

Or if I did continue it, I'd do the Buu saga waaaay differently.


-Leave Goku dead. I don't have a problem with him coming back for a day to watch/participate in the tournament, but they should've kept it at a day.
-Cut out all the Great Saiyaman stuff. Let's be reality, it was lame.
-Have better henchmen for Babidi. Let's be honest, Dabura and those other two guys (can't even remember their names) were lame and not very memorable. Certainly not as memorable as the Androids.
-I honestly don't know if I'd have bothered with the Fat Buu. I mean he was mildly funny at times but he was hard to take seriously despite how powerful he was. I think I'd have Super Buu be his initial form.
-Probably wouldn't have had Goten/Trunks learn to transform into Super Saiyans that easily...cheapens the transformation. And I definitely wouldn't have given Gotenks SSJ3. Maybe make it so they can only go Super Saiyan when fused.
-I'd probably make Gotenks the only fused character. Didn't really care for Vegito to be honest.
-Dunno if I'd kill Vegeta off, but if I did then I'd leave him dead.
-Probably come up with something else besides Spirit Bomb to finish off Buu. It's been done.

Goten was created to replace Goku, which explains why he looks like a miniature Goku

 

[Killer Instinct]

Have Piccolo, Tien and Gohan be on the same level as Goku/Vegeta, make everyone else at least Super Saiyan 2 power level even Yamcha

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

-Have better henchmen for Babidi. Let's be honest, Dabura and those other two guys (can't even remember their names) were lame and not very memorable. Certainly not as memorable as the Androids.

Dabura was kinda dope but really all of the ginyu force, zarbon, didoria, and nappa was cooler as henchmen...

 

[GunRanger]

Raditz was fukking wasted. He shouldnt have been the first villain anyway.

 

[Airtrack360]

1 thing that would of made there whole series a whole lot better is basically reverse the chronological order of everything that happened starting from the cell saga.

The fact that a earthbound being/android could be made stronger than frieza or a saiyan was ridiculous.

The series should of went Androids -> Cell -> Piccolo -> Raditz,Napa,Vegeta, -> Frieza

 

[The_Phonz]

Give the series over to Gohan like the original plan was (fukk the dikkriding Goku fans) and have him and Piccolo running things with Vegeta coming in to help out against the main villains.
In all honesty, if you can get Piccolo and Vegeta on screen together you'll have your fun, prideful banter right there and I'm down for that.

 

[Money Be Green]

Bring Raditz, Broly, & Bardock back.
Get rid of that annoying pig oolong

A black saiyan
