>In the end I see we can agree on how regenerating monsters make extremely boring villains
Even Nappa took damage and there was also a time stalling component. Not so much for Cell and Buu. Regeneration can be worked around, and I think it works fine with Buu because it's a more comedic arc, but Cell... man... it's rough.
>I mean, there's nothing to "notice", it's the text!! Even Nappa calls it a cheap shot lmao
True, but people also just... don't fucking read or watch the story so they miss the part where Krillin says Yamcha felt something bad could happen and took Krillin's place on purpose.
>people who only know Yamcha from TFS and memes
Obvious plague on the fanbase.
>I still think Tao Pai Pai is the blueprint for basically every major DB antagonist, not disparaging any of them this time, just saying, this is where Toriyama struck gold.
He definitely is a blueprint, not sure if he's that good though. He's good but I probably like the other parts of Red Ribbon more, the cave adventure, the muscle tower, and the final tournament with Grandpa Gohan. People do overstate how much "early DB" was about adventure, but these were some of the exceptions where we really got to breathe into this world. Worth it!
