Some people have said that the work "Dragon Ball" should actually end after Frieza is defeated.

the reason is simple.

Regardless of whether it is a comic or animation, the over-inflated combat power in the later period and the meaningless death have made this work a very embarrassing situation.

Of course, this is not the point.

What really makes everyone think that the "Dragon Ball" series should end with the "Frieza" stage is the setting background.

The story of "Dragon Ball" originates from seven dragon balls that can grant all wishes. It can be said that the dragon balls are the core setting of this work.

But it's a pity...

As we get to the later stages, the role of Dragon Ball becomes smaller and smaller. Even at the end, many readers and viewers couldn't help but question their souls: Isn't there such a thing as Dragon Ball in "Dragon Ball"?

have to say.

Perhaps at this stage, Akira Toriyama himself, including the majority of fans and readers, actually expected the ending of "Dragon Ball".

However, the popularity of the comic is so high, the animation adaptation is so popular, and the influence of the work is so exaggerated. Whether it is finished or not is no longer something that one or a few people can decide.

In Gu Miao's eyes, the subsequent stories of Android, Cell, Buu, etc. are "forced" plots, sequels written just to make money.

But then again.

Although the Dragon Ball series has had problems of one kind or another since the Saiyans appeared on the scene, overall, it is still a manga/animation worth reading.

This is even more true for "Dragon Ball Z".

As the second animation adaptation of the Dragon Ball series, Dragon Ball Z not only inherits the advantages of the previous work, Muji Chapter, but also goes further on this basis, pushing the hot-blooded battle series to a new height.

What?

You mean GT and Super?

Those two things are more like "official fan" works that have been authorized and produced with the participation of the original comic book author. Their nature is completely different from the original "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z".

Talking back to "Dragon Ball Z"...

Although Nishio had just completed his work on Mitsumi and was still on vacation, so he did not start production immediately, but the animation-related planning drafts were actually already prepared.

Everything started when the Saiyan Raditz came to Earth and kidnapped his younger brother Goku's son Gohan. The Great Demon King Piccolo transformed into the Great Nanny Piccolo.

After that, it was a process of Wukong taking risks and growing up, and his combat power continued to soar.

About this combat capability...

To be honest, even though Gu Miao had thought that the combat power would expand very quickly, he was still shocked when he saw the original version of "Dragon Ball Z".

At the beginning of the animation, when Raditz came to kidnap his nephew Gohan, Goku's combat power was only 330, while Piccolo's was 322.

This is the combat power before the shackles are released. When Wukong takes off the gravity suit, the combat power increases to more than 400.

And when Wukong used Turtle Style Qigong, his combat power reached 924...

Even so, he and Piccolo teamed up to fight Raditz, a Saiyan who had just appeared for the first time. After all, his combat power hadn't exceeded a thousand!

But when the plot enters the Vegeta chapter, Goku's normal combat power has exceeded 8,000, and breaking through 10,000 is common, and Vegeta's combat power is close to 20,000.

Do you think this is the end?

From over a thousand to over ten thousand, it seems that the increase in combat power has reached an astonishing 1000%, but compared with the enemies that Wukong will face later, it is still too weak.

In the Namek Chapter, Wukong's normal combat power reaches 3 million. In the case of explosion or desperate situation, he can reach tens of millions or even over 100 million levels of combat power...

The collapse was too serious!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see through this series of numerical comparisons that the biggest failure of "Dragon Ball Z" is the collapse of the combat power system.

In the early days, four or five digits were easy to say.

There are easily millions and tens of millions of combat power behind them, and just looking at that string of zeros gives me a headache.

This pot deserves Toriyama Mingbei!

Who told him to make "Frieza" so scary? But as a villain, the protagonist must defeat Frieza.

OK!

You can defeat Frieza, so your combat power cannot be lower than his, right? Based on this premise, Dragon Ball's combat power values ​​have entered the era of "great expansion".

To put it bluntly, Frieza's initial setting is still the same. The normal combat power is not set properly, so the subsequent combat power can only follow the "exponential surge", becoming more and more out of control.

Akira Toriyama is pretty awesome.

Perhaps he also discovered that the combat power value was a piece of shit, and it would definitely be impossible to fix it, so he just started to mess with it.

Anyway, the numerical value has collapsed, so let’s simply collapse it more thoroughly. How can a mere few million be enough?

With a bulge of muscles, the combat strength exceeds 100 million!

How else can we express the power and terror of Saiyans? Do you understand what "well-trained is not as good as born well, and born well is not as good as appearing late"?

It's a pity for Raditz.

The only disadvantage is that he appears too early. Otherwise, as "Wukong's brother", as long as he appears later, his combat power will only start at a few hundred thousand, and a mere thousand or so combat power will not even be enough.

"This number is too high."

Gu Miao was very dissatisfied with the combat power system of the original version of "Dragon Ball", especially the combat power values ​​in the later stages that were often seven or eight zero, which was just like a joke.

Akira Toriyama was able to perform badly because he didn't notice it early on.

When he came back to his senses and found that his combat power was out of control and collapsing, he could no longer turn back and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to increase the upper limit of the value.

But the Wanbao version is different.

Although the Manbao version of the "Dragon Ball" comic was released earlier than the animation, due to the lack of updates, the current combat power has not expanded to a particularly outrageous level.

Therefore, it is entirely too late to correct this problem now.

Focus on Frieza!

Especially the initial combat power of 530,000 is simply too abstract. Even if the initial level is lower, he can accept the three-stage transformation being higher than this.

What needs to be weakened is not the upper limit, but the lower limit.

In the work "Dragon Ball Z", Gu Miao can accept the design of having sex on the spot, with her muscles bulging and her hair flying, and her combat power suddenly soaring.

But he couldn't accept the "initial combat effectiveness" that was too outrageous or even abstract.

If the initial combat power is too high, it will easily lead to the collapse of the combat power system. Frieza, the culprit, must have his initial combat power slashed.

Should I still put aside the initial 530,000?

In the Wanbao version, don’t have such a sweet dream.

It would be a great mercy to give Frieza 530,000 seeds. The normal initialization is 130,000, which feels very reasonable.

certainly!

Frieza was stabbed like this, so naturally other characters also had to be stabbed.

As the saying goes, if everyone has been weakened, it means it has not been weakened. If everyone's combat effectiveness has shrunk, it means it has not shrunk.

The only character who won't be cut, and who even has hope of being slightly strengthened, might be Raditz?
Chapter completed!
