Who?
Yea but what happens after he comes back?
Well Toriyama did include her in a panel of the Namek Arc, but the image is missing from American releases.
He probably just got sick of drawing her and wrote her out of the story, like how he stopped giving Saiyans tail for that same reason.

Then I would disagree, because while Toriyama's choice with the character doesn't make him look great on an audience outlook, within the world itself, he's treated as anything but. Whenever he loses a battle, all the characters, including Goku, treat it like a huge shock. This is commonly known as the "Worf Effect"
For example, in the manga, when Yamcha loses to Jackie Chun, Goku's response isn't "omg yamcha sux" it's "Oh shit, Jackie Chun beat Yamcha? Jackie Chun is a huge deal". Also Kami referred to Yamcha as a very great fighter, he just had bad luck.

Yajirobe sat on his ass and ate rice for the whole series. Mister Satan could have given him a hard time.
I doubt it, since Yajirobe is superhuman thanks to his Kami training.
Anyway my main argument still stands. I fail to see how any of the main humans (Krillin, Ten, Chaozu, Yamcha) are less skilled in combat than the Half-Saiyans (Trunks, Goten, Future Trunks, Gohan).

Yajirobe cut Vegeta's tail off. If it wasn't for him there wouldn't have been a rest of Z.
He snuck up behind him, before he could sense power levels, and use a sword.
Still the best DBZ fight, because it was the last time a fight was decided by teamwork and everybody putting everything on the line, instead of super saiyan vs final form bullshit.
Goku was clearly the most powerful of the good guys, but everybody (except Yamaha) brought something to the table.
Jackie Chun said Tenshinhan was a great fighter, and likewise Kami said the same about Yamcha. Meanwhile Cell called Trunks out on his fighting abilities, while Gohan's skill was called out during the Dabura fight. That's my logic of reasoning.
There's my logic of reasoning. I'm not really seeing any proof that the half-Saiyans are better fighters except that they were born with hax powers.

Frieza has all of that and more. He keeps coming back like JASON!
I probably would have ended the series with Freiza and I think it's the last legitimately great fight. Especially the pre SSJ stuff.
Then again I'm not a beloved Japanese millionaire who seemingly forgets lots about the work he's best known for, so what do I know?
Cell and Buu are just rehashes.

I used to love Freeza, but a re-read made me realize he is just a rehash of Vegeta. Both are arrogant Princes who claim to be the strongest in the universe, want the Dragon Balls for immortality, and both fuck up with the Destructo Disk that leads to their downfall.
Until after Namek, then Freeza becomes a remake of Cyborg Tao.

I think the difference for me is that Vegeta always seemed to be beatable though tough as hell and stronger than Goku while Freiza always gave off the impression that he really was just fucking with them and only got caught off guard temporarily. It's a subtle distinction and cutting hairs as well (Vegeta probably seemed plenty impossible for Krillin/Piccilo/Gohan) but there you have it.
Meanwhile Cell is literally just everyone thrown into a blender and Buu is magic pink, dumb as bricks but bloodthirsty Cell. It's too much.
TL
R: Vegeta is a powerful prince while Freiza is a GOD.

We get the whole thing with the Saiyans, but even there he is still the same person as he is in the present. With Vegeta, we just know that he comes from some barbaric race that does whatever it wants to survive. That isn't deep, but at least it is something. Vegeta also doesn't really have any asspulls, except for maybe creating the Moon Ball. Freeza on the other hand is full of I'M NOT REALLY LEFT HANDED moments ("You thought my transformation was my real power? I can power up even when transformed! I can power up even when transformed again! I can tranform two more times! I'm actually only using way less than half of my full power! I can survive in the vacuum of space, apparently!")
It is really hard watching this series with Sailor Moon as a solo act. God damn it Usagi sucks.
And Piccolo (allows Freeza to reach his third form), and Goku (doesnt believe Freeza is using half his power).
On a flip note, of the shows on Toonami, which do you think is most like DBZ? I would say Bleach.
The show is nothing without the witty banter from the other girls.
Sailor V is the much better "solo" work.
Indeed, so very indeed.
My biggest problem is Usagi is a literal crybaby whose cries are horrible enough to be weaponized.

As long as it's not boring!
I'm not feeling it at all recently. I don't want my complaining to get in the way of those enjoying it though, so I'll probably just be more quiet when it's airing.
No but I can understand why they would. Never liked the original names even after seeing them for nearly two decades of watching the show. I knew a guy big into Sailor Moon tape trading with awful HK dubs so I've been kicking it in this scene since around the time DIC started...and I just can't get used to them.
I won't boycott an updated, uncut dub of it. That's silly. The US version has enough problems that this one annoyance won't get me to not buy it.
Would I pay money for a version with the US names? You bet your ass I would. In a heartbeat. Maybe they'll take the hint from how DBZ was treated and have a just splice in the American names version!
EDIT: Seda you're too damn polite and I doubt you'll find anyone here who cares enough about BE to adamantly defend it. I think it's been okay lately and my only real concern was with the new character's top being too damn small. Wearing the incorrect size is uncomfortable and not really all that attractive!

Yea, don't do that, that mindset lead to some of the stupidest screeds I have seen on the internet in awhile.
