Yo I rewatched the Saiyan saga and I don’t know why I felt the Z fighters put up more of a fight because them dudes got wizashed by Nappa. Tien got bopped in the head once by Nappa and started leaking out of every orifice.
Like literally all they had to do was be like “yo goku gonna be here in a few hours want something to eat and a shower? I know your trip was long.”
Piccolo really brought Gohan to that fight like he was gonna be anything more than a liability.
Like what training did you prepare him for bug monsters shooting acid out their heads. Of course he gonna freak da fukk out.
