anime

It was perfectly set up, this should be clear to any viewer that paid attention

this arc doesnt focus on vegeta enough

Classic dragon ball

it teased him doing some cool stuff

and then

it didnt focus on him

:(

I wonder if Merus will be the first character to stay dead ever

this feels like filler

rather than a full on arc

Oh wow, he died?

which is weird

really weird

filler that gives Vegeta cool new abilities and a unique fighting style

still feels like filler

I agree

You mean the namekian racial ability?

had to catch up

That is 100% not true and idk why he'd think that

because he

murdered a bunch of people

King yemma made an exception for him in the buu arc

And he's done nothing but good things through super

earlier in the chapter piccolo talks about how Vegeta is probably doing this/trying hard to atone for his sins etc.

Saving entire timelines

I think he wouldn't go to hell now

but he thinks he would

Unironically, he's a better person than goku now

gokus just a fucking moron

Dangerously stupid, uncharacteristically stupid

who can use instant transmission now

kais, yardrats, goku, vegeta?

actually

do kais even use it

They use a better version I believe

yeah thats what i thoughht

i didnt think it was the same

its cool vegeta has it now

It took goku only a year to master most of "his" techniques, everyone else should've caught up by now

they never learned it from the yardrats though

it took vegeta like

a few days?

to learn his techniques

then like

5mins to an hour

to learn just instant transmission

It takes however long the plot requires for a character to reach x level of strength

is vegeta actually more "skilled" than goku

at learning things

No

he says he is but

i dont believe it

Vegeta's more the hard-headed type, goku's the one who's open to learning from his opponent

Tbf in original db goku would master techniques within minutes of seeing them

right

kamehameha

didnt he use that like

right away

Yeah, but it was a much weaker version at first

When he fought roshi he not only learned the after image technique but improved upon it during the fight

And then tien used a technique where he split his arms into 4, which goku improved on by splitting his arms into 8

remeber when

techniques existed

some characters have them now

a lot more recently

ToP had a few

Dragon ball peaked during the saiyan saga

i think it peaked there but

frieza is

VERY high up

does feel a little long

Zenkai really weakens it for me

why doesnt

zenkai exist

anymore

And the fact that frieza does absolutely nothing for 75% of the arc

maybe after gokus

super injury here
