Dragon Ball Z - The Humans Are Useless

[@Davesknd]

Never forget: Yamcha was never taught the Kamehameha wave by Roshi, he taught it to himself and surprised everyone by using it in the tournament against Tien. He was the first of his generation to invent a competely new technique while everyone else was still using passed down stuff. He was the first to go against the sayans. And he started as a poor desert bandit, living off stealing and scavaging and now lives in a penthouse, adored as a sports star by millions. Oh, and he gave Beerus a friendly slap on the back while Vegeta was hiding behind shrubbery.

The fight build up in DB is part of the vibe, it's such a martial arts focused anime. I loved all the Budokai tournament arcs in DB so much.

[@Juke11]

The Humans were never useless some of them are the most important ppl in the series. The story wouldn't continue without them. It sucks that they aren't used in the story as much anymore. This just me but i wish we get a Avengers Endgame style arc across the Universes. It can expand with the Humans, U6 Saiyans, possible new races, GoDs/Angels, etc but it will most likey never happen

[@dvdivine1962]

Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted the humans to have a personal power up that could rival the top tiers.

[@neonnemesis3267]

I'm going to get some flak because of this, but I think Toriyama's original plan of having Vegeta die permanently in Namek would have led to a better Dragon Ball without a ton of saiyans around where non-saiyan characters would still be relevant, not only that but I think Namek Vegeta was peak Vegeta, ever since that his character seemed to be walking on circles which is no surprise since his arc was concluded when he put his trust on Goku before dying. Instead the series became a sorts of arms race to super saiyan forms where if you weren't a saiyan you sucked, even the highly anticipated Piccolo and Kami Fusion was overshadowed by grade 2, grade 3 and SSJ2 in the same saga, later on Buu saga if you weren't a saiyan you sucked, simple as that, even Saiyan kids were more relevant than Piccolo that should have insane potential after merging with Kami and train from that point on, the idea of a Goku vs Piccolo rematch in Buu saga was also way better than another Goku vs Vegeta, Tien that spent all his life training got taken out by a single kick from Buu. Super became even worse with the Super Saiyan God forms, the concept of god Ki was actually a good one that could be used for other characters to close the gap, instead it only made it bigger only for later to try to make other characters relevant by giving them some insane nonsensical buffs, I mean, Cell consuming the Androids in the future and being the ultimate lifeform is retarded when the Androids with a few years can eclipse Super Perfect Cell with ease.

[@Prince-Shogun]

I agree with you! There's no point of Vegeta being around after the frieza arc concluded! And I hate that his "marriage" with bulma birthed one of my favorite characters, Future Trunks! And ever since the saiyans been stealing glory from all the other non Saiyan warriors!

[@veryangryboi4128]

I doubt removing Vegeta would've changed anything.Toryiama didn't had any plans post Namek Saga so Vegeta isn't the reason.It's just the direction that Tory decided to take.

[@geigercourtier]

*lays flak deep* yeah no thanks buddy

[@gregm4813]

I pretty much agree with this. And it's not just a power-scaling issue either. Yamcha x Bulma would've been the pairing we got without Vegeta, and it's a pairing where Bulma doesn't come off looking like a nasty piece of crap for marrying Vegeta of all people. (And inviting him to her home shortly after he bragged about how the Namekians not resurrected to life were because he killed them. Yeesh) Tien and Piccolo would've remained as the "Goku rival," both of who bring something more to the table beyond "another saiyan." Also, both of them have a legitmate redemptions, whereas Vegeta's ... is a load of hogwash. Gohan, I could only hope, wouldn't get done dirty in the Buu arc when there's no "badman anti-hero" around to whine about wanting his precious re-match with Goku. Main problem here is making Future Trunks work in this alternate series of events. Hard to have that initial "super saiyan out of nowhere tearing apart Frieza, but warning about dangerous androids" if he's not part-saiyan. Would have to create another saiyan somewhere, which ... doesn't necessarily lead back to the problems with Vegeta, so honestly, even Future Trunks might still be golden, with just a little bit of work. Nope. I see no problem with this. Vegeta can go take a hike.

The thing with Chi-Chi is she is, from all that was shown, a bit of a prodigy herself. Only, she was never interested in fighting. Hell, both her kids turned out more like her and shunned fighting and the hard work and discipline that comes with the vigorous training and pursued other things. And I know people were pissed similarly for the Gohan not being the main character in the last arc of Z, but as pointed out even by Toriyama, Gohan is NOT Goku. Both of Goku's kids and both of Vegeta's kids also just doesn't care for fighting. Sure, they might have all the potential in the universe but none of them want to act on it or care to. All of them are just too different from Saiyans. They might have the tools to be the universe strongest due to their human and Saiyan halfs, but by that same token, their human half dulls their Saiyan half's instincts. Which includes the battle drive. Also, their violent nature.

[@Vespyr_]

Yeah, if Goku found a wife that was into fighting, their kids would have been very different.

[@melissamurray8307]

Outside of 18, who became an android with enhanced abilities both Chi Chi and Videl are the top 2/3 strongest women of universe 7 in the franchise.

[@DBZAOTA482]

Chi-Chi was able to keep Weighted Goku on his toes during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Granted, Goku wasn't taking the fight seriously but the fact she was able to surprise him and keep him on the defensive at least puts her above Goku at battle level during the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, and she was most likely holding back considering how angry she was. She also most likely wasn't training for any other reason than to impress Goku. Goku's kids definitely benefitted from her genes as well because Vegeta canonically has better innate potential than Goku (the main difference is their mindsets).

At the beginning of DB, Goku fought humans like Yamcha, Krillin, Master Roshi, and few others that gave Goku a tough fight, but once Goku begin to tap into the true power of the Saiyans, the difference between Goku's strength and the humans grew further and further, especially with all the Saiyan's transformations. The only human that can give a tough fight with the current Goku is Uub, the reincarnation of Kid Buu with the power of the Grand Supreme Kai, but some people don't think it counts since Uub's soul is that ancient destroyer that destroy countless planets.

[@nux2k]

Tein is a goddamn role model. They did my boy dirty. He should easily be the strongest human, but he's not Goku's bestie. This is a thing that I always wanted to see for him. Tein has a fight where He uses multiform and shows that he learned kaio Ken and with those multiple versions he goes kaio Ken times 500 something crazy and using neo tribeam or kai cannon whatever you want to call it and wreck somebody that is far stronger than him. His main body won't use high multiplier kaio Ken but the clones will to the point of death, but it doesn't matter because they're clones and that's the brilliance.

[@denizenbyday]

Bulma was the brains, Launch and Yamcha were like the bodyguards of the group (when Goku wasn’t around), Krillin was the best friend, Tien was like the rival antagonist turned role model, Chiatzou like the little brother character, Roshi the mentor, and even Yajirobe was that friend who acted tough but had a bigger heart than he let on. The human characters brought a kind of dynamic that was refreshing or relatable. It came back with Videl for a while with Gohan going to high school and with his Saiyaman arc.

Not to mention his arsenal of techniques consisting of destructo disk along with tien's solar flare and tri-beam actually holding the capability to be used upon much stronger opponents while also killing them but toriyama never make the best use if these techniques.

[@kalevipoeg6916]

Tien's tribeam is one of those attacks that really should be made into a bigger deal than it is because it, like the destructo disk, has the unique capacity to actually lose an absolutely massive gap in power and make him situationally useful despite not being a literal walking god like Goku and Vegeta now are. My theory on it is exactly that - that it multiplies the energy put in exponentially, and I think the nature of the attack - focused between this hands in this narrow window like that - provide a clue as to how. I think first of all that it DOES have a massive focusing effect on the blast, which effectively magnifies its power many times over - but ALSO I think he's letting off more than one at a time. Notice that his hands form a bit of a triangle shape - yet the SHAPE he blasts out is a SQUARE. So I think he's firing MULTIPE LAYERS at once and they are rotating on their way down - two triangles flipped around will form one square. So that is perhaps the secret to that technique. NOW, if Tien could create some hyper-focused laser version of that, it would have SCARY penetrating power that could probably put a hole in any major villain - the only thing of course is that most dragonball villains after frieza have the annoying ability to either absorb energy or regenerate. If they couldn't, Vegeta would have put Perfect Cell down before Goku even got done training when he shot a hole through him with final flash. Blasted regen.

[@Amereedom]

If I were writing this, I would have Piccolo put everyone in a boot camp to grow in power - well at least the higher lords. Because of this, Tien begins to feel some kind of way about Piccolo and the Saiyans not really seeing them as any true means to defeat beings as powerful as them. This has all of the humans thinking about that and not having hard feelings, but feeling a way still, each human seems to come to the same conclusion when a group of pirates come to take resources from both Monster Island. Fighting next to the Androids without any Saiyans - including the boys, or namekians except Dende, they begin to understand they have a place protecting Earth. 17 trains them by realizing they needed to tap into the deepest recesses of their genetic being. Bulma studies everyone and figures out that using the Sensu, she can create some beans keyed to each fighter's genetic code. This helps unlock not only latent power, but hidden potential by feeding directly to their cells what they need. I would have that for them and then have them training more in the HBTC and I would surely have them go to Yardrat and train their spirit for spirit balance. Imagine them all becoming like 10 to 100x stronger than they have ever been? And after all their training, send them first to King Kai for the craziest training only for Tien to go further by then training with Piccolo and then with Future Trunks. Yamcha goes back to Master Roshi, but also ends with asking Supreme Kai for help. He finds that Tien did the same thing whereas Krillin's family helps him become far more powerful. Fore me, by the time they all meet up again, every single human of the Z Fighters would be more powerful than Cooler's ultimate form!

From a full-grown person would wreak. *ESPECIALLY* if the soul belonged to a human that was killed and revived multiple times through the series. Not to mention what an experienced Earthling Soul would be capable of. The most powerful characters being reduced to helpless puppets, the Soul looking through their memories to perfectly imitate the host body. Maybe learning how to hide themselves so even gods can’t detect them, or even hijacking said gods! Maybe that’s the human’s true power. A secret race of body snatchers that are unraveled and uncompressed, (notice that human souls in Dragon Ball were never depicted as a golden ball before Fighter Z.) are held back by Enma and kept in check to prevent these glowing orbs from spreading through the universe. Imagine in the next game there’s an antagonist Earthling Soul that’s just sick of his/her species being nothing more than weak fodder to be killed over and over again, and seeks payback for it all.

Men you had me subscriving just for how you talk about krillin. Edit: i was already a subscriver. 😂

[@Thejigholeman]

Tien would have basically been the savior of the Cell arc if krillin didn't fuck it up for some robussy. also, lets be real, launch would have eventually ended up vegeta if she was in dbz. Vegeta meets a kind blue haired earth woman that turns into a powerfull golden haired warrior when she sneezes, he would probably call her the super saiyan human or something like that. Saiyans love strong women, and launch is up there with chichi in terms of strength (strength of will and character, not the ability to punch good.) i wonder if launch will come back in the new series.

[@strangeone7198]

The humans are not useless at all, man. They each have their roles and personalities outside of fighting.

[@SonicSanctuary]

we out here preaching the good word of krillin.

[@skan8]

We can assume that Tiens Kikoho is NOT a ki-based attack but consumes life/spirit force, the energy that Goku uses to form the spirit bomb, which explains the danger to his life, and the massive power output. We see other characters use life force mainly to make a bomb out of themselves which Is a crude way of using this energy and that means you need very special training to handle it. It is so hidden that Goku received it in the afterlife from King Kai. Tien learned Kikoho from Crain hermit which was stated in DB tournament by Roshi. Crain either developed it himself or learned it from master Mutaito, who was an average fighter but a brilliant scientist in spirit (not ki ) energy. Based on this assumption we could state that Kikoho scales not from the strength of the individual using it but from the control mastery of the life force manipulation. Since there is a finite amount of life energy one person has for his life and nothing else, it is logical that if you are using it for something else, the life span shortens, so you would need to learn how to harness the energy from outside the body and use it for attacking, making the spirit bomb technique a correct way of doing this.

[@nolainsight8371]

Krillin been on the front line for every major battle.He's a thorough soldier for real.

[@shinababes]

Imagine an arc where Bulma tries to make a service android, but saw the Z fighter's power levels and wanted it for itself.

[@ROBSULL]

Bulma could easily make herself one of the most powerful beings in the universe with her genius. She could in theory make herself into an android that rivals android 18 and android 17 if she wanted.

[@koobertohumperdink8702]

I think the reason hybrids are so strong is because Saiyan transformations are rooted in emotion but the Saiyans are such a tough stoic masculine race they suppress their emotions most of the time. The Hybrids have the Super Saiyan transformation but also the human emotional side to bring forth it's raw power.

[@RichardHunke]

I have to be honest, I grew up with DBZ old dub, with the Rock the Dragon theme. I did watch a few Dragonball episodes when I went out of the country and saw it in Spanish then in English when I could find it, and I did own the VHS movies. I do want to stream it, or collect Dragonball. When Dragonball FighterZ came out, and challenged people online…. Everyone was using the big power houses, and mostly Saiyans and Fusions, including me. I started to use Videl, Krillen, Yamacha, Broly, Tien, Kefla. I would lose no matter what characters I used most of the time, but I got good with Videl that I got complemented and she was the one who would get me out of the tough fighters. I do give credit to those characters that got lost in the shuffle. My defense for Toriyama is that he always worked so hard, and in other projects that have his art style. Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Dragonball. He even admitted he was so forgetful because in order to come up with new ideas he had to clear his head, and forget a lot of material and lore 😢 which is a shame for sure. I do like Dragon Ball Super, but completely different reasons I like Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z. I’m not into the beast Gohan look. Piccolo was overdue a power up transformation, which same goes to the underrated characters. Totally agree with Tien been a bad ass, Krillen I can totally relate with, and Yamcha, has been a joke for to long.

[@cf5765]

I was taken aback by the lack of intro.

[@tintor2]

The perfect example of bad writing is Resurrection F. The Human characters are only important for 30 minutes and when Goku and Vegeta appear they become commentaries from a basketball match

[@AnarkeeSoundVibes]

Krillin, or Kuririn (his name in the official manga), is one of the strongest and smartest fighters in the dragon ball ethos, followed closely by Tien. Videl is next, then Yamcha followed by Chi Chi and Hercule. Bulma is the weakest human by far, but her brilliance more than makes her integral to the story.

[@lucerojunior6644]

Coronel Silver, random red ribbon boxer that can casually defeat multiple heavy weight champions move like a blur in a match against goku. No special training, no ki.

[@kelvinsantiago7061]

Ok honestly if we were to pit Yamcha,Tien Krillin and Master Roshi against DBZ Movie villains they would probably Win.

[@SuperFang1]

Bro as a OG Dragonball fan Im depressed with how they treat Yamcha, Krillin, and Tien.

[@lightyami5934]

I mean...humans are...just like IRL

[@AdamWingard_Official]

Early gang

[@jerred9655]

Bulma can collect dragon balls faster then everyone else

[@nyjarobinson7534]

I think all of the Saiyan hybrids human side is always given credit, they're so strong because their Saiyan power is linked and controlled by their human emotions

[@gpaulso]

As someone who was first exposed to DBZ during the early 2000's long before ever watching Dragonball for the first time, I've always thought of these characters as nothing more than memes and cannon fodder. 🤣

[@Linklex7]

Nope. Kinda shocking to see Yamcha use to actually be useful isn’t it? That’s why I’m excited for Daima. It seems like it’s going to balance all the characters back out again

[@x6dingle6x]

"Bulma was able to build this in a cave, with a box of scraps!"

[@zacbrown3797]

I think it would be more interesting if dbz were less about power, but it is, and because of that its jarring to see master roshi be able to dodge attacks, when in the sagas prior it was always shown that when a character is massively stronger than an an opponent they're faster than them as well

[@maxwellreeves9548]

. . . Bulma made the Time Machine Mister satin helped with the spirit bomb

[@memelord3097]

7:44 its a shame that this will never happen

[@whydoyougottahavthis]

Holding their own until the invincible demigods show up is pretty useful ngl, plus Tien isn't really one to fuck around with, and Yamcha...... I'm the only person that made a Yamcha hat, because nobody likes Yamcha but me :(

[@ultrainstinctpetah9381]

Bulma isn't useless because she made the dragon radar birthed trunks who kinda made freiza into two she also made the Time Machine and she like existed during the freiza saga. Krillin is important because he helped cut off fajitas tail that one time, and he brings the senzu beans sometimes. Hercule is important because he made gohans wife and also gave goku money that one time. Chi-Chi is important because she birthed gohan who killed cell, and cell max. Everyone else is useless. Except roshi cause he trained goku. And also grandpa gohan he raised goku a bit. That's it

[@autophreaktrishield]

She also had the brass balls to slap beerus.

[@thefitgamerdad]

Vilma is arguably the most important character to the story of Dragonball.

[@antifableach]

Tien is one of my favorite characters in the games. He is somewhat bland as a character but I like his fighting style.

ROLE MODEL

[@Triggermappy]

there's a couple of fan mangas where krillin and yamcha became an android. Krillin kikoho'd x10 and stacked it with kaioken x20 and he bodied cell. and in the Dragon Ball Multiverse fan manga, yamcha was an android and pretty much wrecked everyone he faced. that pretty much answers it for me what happens if the humans became androids.
