What was the most disappointing thing about Dragonball Z?

How so many characters fall to the wayside and get phased out because of the power scaling. One thing One Piece does a great job at is finding something for everybody to do, while DBZ so many folks fall off the face of the Earth

This is one of the most often-cited fandom myths but it's not true. Toriyama decided that himself because he didn't think Gohan's character was suitable as a hero. He said nothing about the fans steering him that way.

Ehh I wouldnt say that's a flaw
Dragonball ain't One piece where it hyped itself and presented itself as adventure series.
The only adventure they had was to find the Dragonball balls and that's it. Once that happen first arc only thing Akira could have done was make it a action series.
Man if you don't get the fukk...
That misses the ENTIRE point of the show man
One way or another Toriyama threw away dope/interesting characters all in the name of "the strongest warrior" Bs
Whats the intrinsic difference between Goku going in a hyperbolic 100x gravity roshis island we ran out of ideas so we insert hastily made up locale for Goku 2 ascend 2 the next level, and the humans simply finding the balls to level up. Both are sloppy writing and easy ways out narrative wise
What's funny is on the other side of the spectrum u have BleachThis. DBZ had a bad habit of wasting a lot of characters in general.
That colorful cast
More specifially to Z, too many characters didn't get to shine enough. In a series like Yu Yu Hakusho, they only had a squad of 4 dudes, but all of them got down. Kuwabara
In One Piece, all of the characters get classic fights. Zoro will go fullon opponents. Nico Robin will snap people's bones on some
type stuff. Usopp is basically the guy that starts off useless, but steps up and comes through at the very end.
I feel like DBZ wastes a lot of potential-- Gohan was done dirty, Piccolo was relegated to babysitter status post-Cell, and the humans like Krillin and Tien got left in the dust. Yamcha never even had a chance. ...and dare I say it?
Even the prince of all saiyans deserved more than he got. Goku and Trunks both got to demolish Frieza, Vegeta's turn should have been next (and I don't even mess with Vegeta like that post-Frieza saga).
Which ignores its main cast and pays attention to much to its side characters
Kenpachi had more fights in the final arc than Ichigo did
The Beer
This is the phuccery that pisses me off
This nikka Tien created damn near every GOAT technique that all bilut Piccolo and Vegeta used. Even those 2 you have 2 put an asterisk next 2, their rejection of his attacks are due 2 their immediate alien heritage and inability 2 relate 2 humans/earth warriors thus embracing their own.
Every1 close 2 Tien bit his shyt

True. One of the few times it retained some of the humor. I'd only read the manga for that arc so I ended up speeding through some of the jokes.

Goku's actually putting the work in himself...wishing for power is bytch shyt.

Yeah, Tien came through with flight, the multiform technique, solar flare, dodon ray, tri-beam, etc. Especially the solar flare, the rest of the fighters bit that move HARD.
Come to think of it, all Goku really did was bite in terms of techniques. Piccolo still held it down with the special beam cannon (he also invented the masenko IIRC), and even Krillin invented the destructo disc and that scattershot technique that he bodied all the Saibamen with.
You got a point now that I think of it.
Kamehameha was Master Roshi's move. Spirit Bomb and Kaioken were King Kai's. Instant Transmission was something Goku learned from some aliens on Yardrat or whatever. I can't think of anything offhand that Goku actually created himself.
Maybe you could say SSJ3 but that's more of a transformation than a technique.
on the topic of techniques and shyt they havin ^^^^^ I started to dislike how the fighting was
how in Dragonball their was no diversity in fighting style to many characters had the exact same skill pallet.
Gohan had no more up his sleeve than Vegeta
they both punch, kick, fly, energy blast, etc
Goku was becoming just Intstant Transmission and Kamehameha.
Whats funny is that the human characters that were to weak had the versatility and unique fighting abilties
Tien- Cloning ,tri beams, finger beams, solar flare
Krillin: destructo disk
Yamcha: spirit ball ,wolf fang

Kenpachi was wasted in the final arc, he finally get shikai, but still gets his asswhup, they killed unohara off for no reason
