>Super's getting it's own Android arc! It's saved!
But the Android/Cell arc was fucking garbage.
- Cyborgs made on Earth are somehow stronger than Freeza - No creativity in the fights anymore - Most of the fights are just one-sided beatdowns - Arc keeps changing who the main villain is - All of the villains were dull and boring save for Imperfect Cell - Characters continually act stupid just for the sake of advancing the plot - Gohan is randomly forced into the spotlight despite doing fuck-all in the arc beforehand - Gohan acts completely out of character against Cell even before he goes SSJ2 - Worst final fight in the series
Why do people insist on blindly praising this fucking arc? It's no better than the Boo arc.

17 vs Piccolo was one of the best fights in all of Dragonball
Bentley Robinson
If you're retarded, sure.
Easton Fisher
>in all of dragonball Not even in Dragonball Z was it close to being one of the best. Literally all the ones pre-android take a gigantic shit on it. Even Future Trunks vs Mecha Frieza.
Grayson Richardson
There are already 2 DBZ threads here god damn it.
Brayden Bailey
>Future Trunks vs Mecha Frieza
That wasn't even a fight.
Zachary Green
>Gohan is randomly forced into the spotlight despite doing fuck-all in the arc beforehand But the show builds up Gohan for like 100 episodes. I don't think the arc was amazing or anything, but it's not any shittier than the others.
Michael Thompson
It's shittier than the Saiyan and Freeza arcs.
Ryan Roberts
I agree.
Joseph Moore
No you don't.
Mason Sanders
At least it's better than Super.
Jonathan Cruz
>Super's getting it's own Android arc!
Yay, even MORE recycled shit! Gotta get those nostalgiafag bucks!
Right in muh childhood feelz, amirite?
Aaron Morgan
Super is literally just regurgitating old shit over and over and over.
Dragon Ball is finished.
Angel Morris
>It's no better than the Boo arc. In fact, it's way worse. The writing of the Boo arc might've been shit but it was fun, entertaining and comfy as fuck. The Cell arc suffers from the same problems the Boo arc did, but it also took itself way too seriously.
Adrian Thompson
The Boo arc had too much trouble deciding when it wanted to be funny and when it wanted to be serious. The comedy completely undercuts the tension in cases like the Gotenks vs Boo fight, which ends up making scenes that should have us invested turn out to be complete slogs to get through because the humor and tension cancel each other out.
Compare this to something like the Piccolo Daimao arc, which knew how to blend comedy and seriousness together at appropriate times without one letting the other nullify itself. If the Boo arc's intention was to replicate the feel of OG Dragon Ball, then it failed miserably.

>Boo arc My nigger what?
Christopher Miller
Buu is the Funimation English dub spelling, Boo is the manga spelling.
Gabriel Bennett
Didn't know that desu
Owen Nguyen
All of Z is garbage.
Jayden Wilson
> Super's getting it's own Android arc!
Just because Future Trunks is returning doesn't make it an "android arc"
Unless Black is an android, but we have no reason to believe that.
Levi Watson
This. Just wish that it was longer in the manga. I am glad that the anime extended it.
Hudson Morales
I don't know man. I actually liked the Cell arc because it was the first (and last time) that we got to see Gohan being a badass. And yes, I am heavily biased because Gohan was my favorite character growing up.

Kevin Gutierrez
How is Gohan becoming a tortuous psychopath that gets his father killed "badass"?
Christopher Evans
>What is Arale
Is that really an argument? She's from a gag manga with a short appearance in early DB. Taking her into consideration, though, she would've easily backhanded Freeza.
Eli Diaz
So would Devilman.
Dylan Gutierrez
>I like an entire arc just for one moment
okay
Thomas Phillips
Nah, Freeza could kill Devilman before he could process a thought. If Freeza stood completely still and didn't bother dodging, sure. Devilman could kill most villains in that scenario.
Isaiah Nelson
Androids Saga would have been better if characters actually tried teaming up instead of being fighting autists and dialing down the idiot levels.
Cameron Torres
>If Freeza stood completely still and didn't bother dodging >puny earthling can't do shit >I'm going to play around by not using my hands nor final form >I'll let him have the first hit because he can't do shit
James Campbell
Goku vs Vegeta round 1 is
Daniel Hernandez
Even without Cell horning in, Piccolo was gonna lose to 17 in the long run. It started out good but ended as a disappointment pretty much like the only other decent fight in the Androids Saga which was Goku vs Cell.
James Jackson
but that's the great thing about the arc, it's about those fighting autists dialing down the idiot levels, like when vegeta went from a total psycho to not being above shooting Cell from behind.
Oliver Sullivan
>But the Android/Cell arc was fucking garbage.
Stopped reading right there.
Justin Parker
>No creativity in the fights anymore >Most of the fights are just one-sided beatdowns This. This is when things went from "Non-Saiyans are useless, but at least contribute a good fight or two " to "Saiyan or GTFO"
Cameron Clark
Super, like GT, could only be 'saved' by one thing.
