Trunks has the best introduction in all of Dragon Ball/Z/Super. That whole sequence is one iconic moment after another. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] That's...not really what a Deus ex Machina is. His presence is a very major part of the ongoing plot from there. Plus, Goku said when he arrived that he was about ready to use Instant Transmission to come down and wipe up Frieza himself. Deus ex Machina is reserved for things that come out of literal nowhere to solve an unsolvable problem, whereas Trunks is more of an enigma who brings with him a greater purpose and plot development. He's basically the exact opposite of a Deus ex Machina. He's there to move the story forward, not to tie it up neatly. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ...

Ugh, maybe it's cause I'm American and I grew up with dub, however I just cannot get into Japanese DBZ. It really bothers me that the same elderly woman voices Goku, Gohan, and Goten as just a starter. Also did they change the music when they went dub as well? That bass got way funkier than I remembered. WalkingLobsters posted... how do you figure these things out by watching the scene?

Gobstoppers12 posted... I sincerely feel like the Android/Cell Saga was the best part of DBZ.It was great when I was a kid. It became awful for me mid teen and beyond due to how it played out, power scaling getting nonsensical, transformations being questionable, and the level of stupidity the heroes kept perpetuating. And the Buu Saga cranked the problems up even more. I didn't watch Super, but I heard it gets even worse. Not knocking those who want to like it, just saying for me nostalgia is the only thing DB had. I couldn't even touch Super and what little I do know about it makes me not want to. --- WAAAH, I CAN'T BEAT THIS GUY WITH HIS TACTICS, I'M GONNA CALL IT SPAM AND CONDEMN HIM FOR USING IT ...

Gobstoppers12 posted... I sincerely feel like the Android/Cell Saga was the best part of DBZ.It's one of the best written sagas for sure, well at least until Perfect Cell when it then kinda sucked.

DoctorPiranha3 posted... And it's odd because Toriyama's editors had him change the story several times.I think that's one of the reasons it's so unique. The different developments and subversions made the story a lot more dynamic. It was literally impossible to guess what might happen next, and Toriyama did a good job taking the editor's input in stride to make a compelling story out of it. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Tbh, I think Cell saga felt like a good conclusion to the story. The whole build-up of DBZ being Gohan's potential and ending with him finally passing up the legendary Goku and ascending beyond the mythical super saiyan form Vegeta thought as the ceiling of the saiyan race felt like a great conclusion to that story. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 35, 500th posts: 34; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...
