There was no kind of character development and the only thing that happened that was plot-relevant was Kai fucked-up their schedule and made it so Goku would return after Napa and Vegeta arrive on Earth. Literally it's the other characters actually doing things in the story and training was more of a way to write Goku out of the story. If there was anything more to that then it was in the anime, not what Toriyama originally wrote.

If you argued that Piccolo training Gohan was an example of what good training does for the story, but you literally ignored it for a load of absolutely fucking nothing.
