yea, one story arc means the whole DB isn't suddenly full of asspulls, repetition and overused plot machinimas done to death even as Toriyama continues writing more of it.
The one story arc does a pretty good job, yes. It is classic

I gave one example where it isnt played straight
You cant seriously think because you gave some example (ignoring the example has tropes as well btw), that it changes the entire series is full of tropes.....

I swear dbz fans will fight tooth and nail to defend DB as if its their religion that was criticized.

I guess one could argue everything is tropy at the end of the day correct? The Saiyan saga may use some, but I wouldn't say it relies on them

Even pretending I agree with your one fight argument, it doesnt change the majority of the series being a trope.

that's like saying Fairy Tail is the best thing ever just because Natus didn't scream 'friendship' for one of his latest fights

Translation: " you guys should ignore 90% of DragonBall being a trope series because look at this 10% over here! We should praise the extreme minority of the series and ignore the extreme majority!"

Your fanboyism is showing.

So grasping at straws then....
Everyone was talking about any series as a whole relying on shounen tropes. DragonBall as a whole embodies tropes left and right.

You brought up one story arc to try to save face.
