He's just a reskin of young Goku but worse because he's literally just copy/pasted. No unique design element. Was he just written into the series so that Trunks could have a fusion partner?

The real question is, what was the point of anything in the Buu arc in DBZ?

He exists entirely to fuse with present Trunks into a joke character.

Maybe finalizing Vegeta's redemption? I don't really think it has a point besides money.

Personally, I think they did that when Vegeta distracted Cell for Gohan.

That wasnt even for Goku.

Buu Saga Vegeta definitely had the best arc. Dude lets himself go back evil to try and be better, realizes that hes still not strong enough despite finally trying to copy Goku. Has a heroic sacrifice. Fails again. And finally comes to terms that Goku is stronger after he plays tank vs Kid Buu.

Vegeta was actually at his worst in Cell Saga. Randomly caring when Trunks was killed.

I thought it was generally agreed Buu Saga atleast brought peak Vegeta. Most of his most badass one liners and moments came from Buu saga.

Hercule also ended his arc perfectly in Buu saga, now that I mention it.

Buu saga actually had a great ending. With Spirit Bomb actually defeating the enemy. It just started weird and it should have had Gohan do something.

Because Dragon Ball Z is dogshit and Akira Toriyama was just churning it out for a paycheck by that point.

there are a fuckton of characters in DB that never really took off

even in DBZ guys like Yamcha and Tien are around mainly for the "hey, remember them?" factor, especially after it became The Super Saiyan Show

It's been around 2 decades and half of my life and I still can't understand why fucking Dragonball Z out of all the shitty animes has been so popular through multiple generations.
