The are among my favorite characters, but they have sorta been reduced to fodder :(.

Gohan has stopped with fighting and training up to the point, that his body has trouble being in SSJ state.
Because of that he cant use it for long.
Even though Gohan has weakened this much, he still helped Piccolo in his battle.
Gohan finished that minotaur like guy on Frieza's army, so that it was less risky if Gohan finished it, instead of Piccolo.

Meaning SSJ Gohan weakened mode > Piccolo, in power.

Now I dont know if Piccolo stopped training, but Gohan's physique in revival of f part, really looks like someone who stopped training and lost muscle,
whereas Piccolo's doesnt.

It kinda feels wrong for that type of Gohan to still be stronger than Piccolo doenst it?
Even with keeping in mind that Piccolo will take part in the universe 7 vs 6 tournament.

Than we have Goku and Vegeta who are training in the room of spirit and time (for 3 days=3 years),
because of the upcoming tournament.

I wonder what Piccolo will do.
If he is not training in some big way or increasing power in some other great method, than he wont really be of much use power wise. Meaning that other team needs one with a lot less strength too.

It wont be fun imo if the series is just about Goku and Vegeta fighting and the rest being spectator.
I dont mind if Goku and Vegeta are a lot stronger than others on their side, but those others need to have something useful to bring in that case.

Like Dende did with his healing powers for example.
Nameks in general with their regeneration, size increase, super hearing and immunity to the Garlic jr mist.

Its nice to have various characters with different abilities that are useful
and not only two saiyans (Goku and Vegeta) who's abilities are roughly the same, except for Goku's instant transmission and spirit bomb.

Dont you agree?

Piccolo was a main character in DB.
He was also one of the main cast for most of DBZ.
Up to the Buu saga at least.
In that saga, he still had some use in assisting Goten and Trunks and aided with others in energy for the spirit bomb.
Piccolo was always useful for his intelligence and wisdom and he had to stay alive for the dragonballs.
Cool how he bonded with Gohan throughout the series.
Gohan was among the main cast too with his gentleness and hidden power outbursts.

Would be sad to see these two great characters lose importance right?

I hope they at least keep Piccolo relevant.

Naruto and Sasuke where the main fighters the longer the Naruto series went on, but Kakashi and Sakura were still useful, together with Obito, in the battle vs Kaguya. Than there were others like Oro and co, the edo kages, Itachi, the shinobi alliance as well who had their use.

We get this new guy Monaka. Not sure if he will stay around after the tournament.
Buu aint a pushover either.


I hope in DB super, others beside Goku and Vegeta, will be relevant as well.

I think piccolo and buu were trained off screen .
Yeah maybe.

Cool to see Buu be on the z fighter's side now (excluding buu vs buu).

They might have exaggerated because of the Movie, but does it matter? They are fighting Gods now. They are dead either way.
You dont want to see more fighters than Goku and Vegeta being relevant?

Frieza is more of a demon. His ki must be special to compare with the likes of Beerus and Whis.
DBZ hasn't changed. Goku will always be the savior.

And Frieza's power level reach an all-time high.

I dont mind him being a/the savior.
I do like it if others beside him are relevant in some way.
If its not through power, through some other way.
Example, Dende healing power on Namek.
Old Kai using his unlock sleeping powers on Gohan.
Kibito Kai teleportation.
Gohan outbursts on Namek.
Piccolo vs Frieza 2nd form on Namek, buying time for Goku and saving Goku vs Frieza last form.

Just some examples.

DBZ is all about plot piccolo would either forfeit or if he fights he would be somehow much stronger without any explanation.

Master roshi for example caught up to krillin despite not training for over 30 years prior to that fight

I feel like gohan is going to start training again cuz they have to make his comeback, I mean how is cell games his Max pretty much rendered him useless when he became the saviour of Kai's, after he was absorbed

I do appreciate the fact that vegeta said that if gohan had been training then he'd be way more powerful than him and goku.

What I like about Piccolo is how he was at first the evil that Kami shed from himself, which created King Piccolo.
The egg from King Piccolo, Piccolo, who was basically shed off evil, changed into becoming good.
Later on they fused again in one. Which feels right, seeing how Piccolo was the one who changed their evil.

If Kami would have changed the evil in himself, that would have saved Piccolo a lot of trouble :p.

Also Piccolo's attitude in general I kinda like.
He has style.
Cool abilties too.

Would hate to see this guy become irrelevant.

So either gogo learn healing powers like Dende to remain relevant, become Namek God or something or both :D.

I do appreciate the fact that vegetables that gohan had been training then he'd be way more powerful than him and goku.
Yeah Vegeta said that Gohan had the biggest dormant potential from all of them or something similar to that.

Yeah it seems Gohan has really stopped being a warrior and switched his fighting gear for his books and work aspirations.
I dont expect him to join the fighting crew again.

Indeed cool what Vegeta said about Gohan his potential if he had focussed on being a warrior.
At least Gohan's potential has been acknowledged, which makes it more okay that he might drop out of the z fighting crew imo, compared to without the acknowledgement.
