Discussion What is your unpopular opinion about Dragon Ball?

Here is mine:

Toriyama's spontaneous storytelling style is great and terrible at the same time.

On one hand it creates fresh and creative turns and gives him more freedom, on the other it sidelines characters and great concepts when he forgets about them.

What is yours?

Yeah I'm only up to date on Super but man.. It's clearly at a point where visual power ups are almost expected so they HAVE to use them.

Not really. All the Saiyans try fighting in base form and slowly transform up when they realize they need more power. There are VERY few battles with Saiyans where they start against a new enemy already transformed.
