My Animation Era

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

the reason is simple.

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

Of course, that's 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 the 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 ask 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 end 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.

The subsequent stories of Android, Cell, Buu, etc., in Gu Miao's eyes, 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, overall, it is still a manga/anime worth watching.

"Dragon Ball Z" is even more so.

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 new heights.

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 finished working 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 brother Goku's son Gohan. The Big Demon King Piccolo transformed into Big Nanny Piccolo.

After that, it was a process of Wukong's adventure and growth, 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 being untethered. 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 explosions and desperate explosions, he can even 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.

Four or five digits in the early stage are okay.

There are millions or tens of millions of combat power behind them, and just looking at the 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 "big 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.

Maybe he also discovered that the combat power value was a piece of shit, and it would definitely be impossible to repair it, so he just started to do it.

Anyway, the values ​​​​have collapsed, so let’s collapse it completely. How can a mere few million be enough?

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

How else can we show the power and terror of the Saiyans? Do you understand what "practicing well is not as good as being born well, and being born well is not as good as showing up late"?

It was 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 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 "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 can be bad, but that's because he didn't notice it early on.

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

But the Wanbao version is different.

Although the Wanbao 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.

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

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

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

If the initial value is too high, it will easily lead to the collapse of the combat effectiveness 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, and the normal initialization of 130,000 feels very reasonable.

certainly!

Frieza has been stabbed like this, so naturally other characters have to be stabbed as well.

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?

After all, a dignified Saiyan with a combat power of more than a thousand is a bit weak. Compared with the "fighting five scum" he calls it, it is not much better.
