If Dragonball Heroes is to be believed, when Goku and Vegeta realize they're close to death they decide to settle the score. They leave Earth to fight and are never heard from again. So in a way it's kinda possible they killed each other.

Ya know I use to think this way back in the old days until Naruto came out and they made Sasuke equal or better than Naruto in a show about and called "Naruto". I really hate that they gave so much fucking attention to Sasuke. Imagine Vegeta always being equal or better than Goku, it would be bad.

But Goku is the main character and it revolves around him as it should.

But the show isn't called "Goku". Besides, there are plenty of series where the MC isn't the strongest. In Katekyo Hitman Reborn Tsuna isn't the strongest. Kenshin isn't the strongest in RuroKen either. Naruto just went overkill because Kishimoto has a hardon for his husbando.

Goku isn't even the strongest right now. Jiren and the GoDs are probably stronger than Goku. The point is the main character should never be secondary like how Naruto was. It's like saying Ron should have killed Voldermort. I remember when Shonen had an official Naruto popularity contest and Sasuke was voted number one and not Naruto. Vegeta gets his moments and that's good enough for me.

None of those characters are part of the main cast. When I mentioned those two series I was considering the main cast. Tsuna wasn't the strongest out of his group, Hibari was. Kenshin is stated to be roughly equal to Saito. It's possible to not have the MC be the strongest and still let him have the spotlight and not make everyone else into a joke like Dragonball does. Like I said, Sasuke was Kishimoto's favorite character and he made sure Sasuke was almost always better and had more focus.

Naruto was never second string. Sasuke surpassed him to encourage him to work harder to his goal.

That is a more believable story than just always being the best and no one can ever truly top you like Goku. People who are the best at something often have been beaten by rivals that make them have to work harder to retain being the best.

Just look at The Rock. He wasn't born with the WWE heavyweight title.

And the reason that is is because Sasuke is Kishimoto's favorite character. That's why Naruto seemed like he didn't matter for so much of part 2. You're using the the worst example possible.

Saying the creator likes this or that character more doesn't negate my point at all. What are you trying to argue here? That Vegeta shouldn't be second string? Because this is the main discussion.

What I'm trying to argue is that it's completely possible to make Vegeta stronger than Goku and give him moments to shine instead of making him look like a joke 24/7 and without making Goku be irrelevant like Sasuke did to Naruto.

Except that is false.
The show focused on Naruto's growth more than Sasuke's excellence. Sasuke's excellence was a plot device to push Naruto into a worth Hokage candidate. Because a kid just happening to stumple into the role of Hokage because his dad was Hokage is a stupid story. Instead it showcases Naruto's sense of inferiority to his peers and his continual striving to better himself. You might have been blinded by Sasuke's excellence, but that is in on you for thinking all there is to an anime is how op a character is.
Central to the plot became not just the sharingan but the tailed beasts as they were the overall goal and vehicle for the main villian's plan. Guess who had the most important tailed beast from the start of the whole show? Naruto. Him being able to grow, defend himself and fight back was more important to victory than anything Sasuke had done. Which is the whole point of the show from beginning to end. Him having the tailed beast was not enough. Other users of the beasts were fodder to akasutski. He needed to grow as he did.

Like the whole revenge on Itachi was a sub-plot that had hardly an impact on the main plotline to battle Madara and his family line.
That just served to put Sasuke into a supporting role in the end because to support Naruto at the end you needed to be at a certain level.

Like lets take one of the first arcs of Naruto.
Who is more important? Sasuke or Naruto?

Orochimaru infiltrates wind village and plots assassination of Hokage. He succeeds.

Gaara turns into a tailed beast and reeks havok.

Naruto saved the day here and turned Gaara into a good guy. Wtf did Sasuke even do in this arc? I can't even remember.

Also, all of those examples are part 1 which everyone universally likes. The Sasuke wanking didn't start until part 2 where we'd completely ignore Naruto for years to focus on the next boring thing Sasuke was doing while he'd pull power up after power up out of his ass.

Sasuke isn't advancing the plot here. He literally is just sitting and waiting unaware.

Naruto is actively trying to reach him and along the way Naruto grows and meets challenges.

Ultimately this story is about Naruto's unwillingness to leave a friend behind. This is also an important part of his goal to becoming a Hokage. His mindset being "I wouldn't be a good Hokage if I couldn't even save my friend".

So he has to learn from personal experience that some people don't want to be saved. Although in the end he technically does save Sasuke.

The truth of the Uchiha massacre, the reason for the summit was because of Sasuke and helped lead to the war starting, the past between Madara and Hashirama. The only big plot thing that happened when Naruto was the focus was learning Obito was behind the Kyuubi attacking Konoha at the start of the series.

Actually both the summit of the Kage and the war was in regards to the tailed beasts of which Naruto was what one of the only two that at this point were not captured?

Sure, Sasuke had moments, but you are discounting Naruto's moments heavily.

We learn of the past of Sasuke's blood. Good.
We learn the same of Naruto.

We learn that Naruto is not just the blood of a Hokage and his mother's clan, we also learn of the prophecy of the six paths sage who Pain admitted was Naruto, whom Jiraiya thought was first pain.

We get a flash back from Sasuke, but we get flashbacks from Naruto too.

Maybe if you simply like Sasuke as a character more you thought the resolution of the Uchiha clan was more important than learning about Jiraiya's past, the six path sage and Naruto's bloodline.
But then, that is on you for secretly disliking Naruto and liking Sasuke more.

Then we have the whole akatsuki parts which they could care less about Sasuke and wanted to capture Naruto. Sasuke did fight them yes, but he had nothing valuable to most of them. Only Orichimaru, Itachi and Madara really desired anything from him via his eyes.
