Like, not literally kryptonite, and it doesn't even need to be a mineral or substance or whatever. But just some villain who has some means to completely neuter all saiyans. Like, saiyans would lose their ability to use ki and just turn into a bunch of shlubs, forcing the rest of the Z fighters to actually get some screentime and look cool again.

It would be the best thing that happened to Dragon Ball in 20 years IMO.

Frieza killed em all lol

but they arent as OP as superman in his world. They can be killed. Goku is the only one with the heavy plot armor

The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench.
Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.

Frankly, I'm amazed DB Super brought Krillin, Tien, Master Roshi, and the Androids into relevance, at least for one arc. And aside from Android 17, they were all outclassed and eliminated before the Saiyans and Frieza anyways.

I mean yes? But even if they didn't just forget about it, the fact that most characters can move practically the speed of light wouldn't really make that a viable story element. There's enough cheese in DB, they don't need a panel where Goku goes "At last I've truly mastered ultra instinct, and I have power greater than that of a go- EEEEGH FUCK, WHY'D YOU GRAB MY TAIL, I"M DEFENSELESS NOW" lol.

I'm talking more like, a villain who can like, manipulate Saiyan ki to eliminate theirs specifically, or who uses magic or poison or something that only affects Saiyans.

You're describing the Moro arc which just concluded in the manga.

The most recent arc had a villain that could drain their Ki

I'm not fully caught up in the manga. Can he do it to everyone? Or just Saiyans?

Everyone. Of course they get their energy back a few pages later, but in a nerfed state.

Noooo, that's not what I'm talking about then :\

I'm saying, it would be super cool to have some sort of arc that completely neuters just the saiyans. One of my favorite parts of ToP was getting to see Roshi and Krillin and Tien and co. all get some playtime. If they found some sort of plot beat that disables Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, etc... it would be a lot of fun to see Piccolo leading the pack with Krillin and shit.

That could work too. A disease that only affects saiyans, and they all catch it.

There are like seven Saiyans left, why would someone need to make a Kryptonite that only works on like seven people? Might as well get something that hits everyone the same.

This would be cool to see Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, and Yamaha become relevant again
