11Beerus Claimed He Destroyed the Dinosaurs
The God of Destruction Wasn’t Very Good at His Job
2013’sDragon lump Z : Battle of Godskicked off the franchise ’s 2010s renaissance after more than a tenner of relative inactivity , and directly lead to the initiation of 2015’sDragon Ball Super . The movie was a hitting , and necessitate the serial into unexplored soil featuring gods and angels . However , it did n’t take long forthe God of Destruction to prove that he was n’t the good at his job .

It was after mend by Kami , who alsopermanently take away Goku ’s tailin order to debar the Moon needing to be destroy again .
Unfortunately , that did n’t last very long , as Piccolo would subsequently destruct the Moon once more when Gohan transformed into a Giant Ape during their breeding .

The 2020 picture gameDragon Ball Z : Kakarotincludes a line stating that Saiyans ' nates no longer regrowwhen they ’re strong enough to no longer call for them . That account could assist the game hole well if Gohan was n’t already hide a torpid power level at least on equality with Vegeta by the clock time the Saiyan Saga turn over its conclusion .
8How Are the Androids So Strong?
Dr. Gero Was Somehow Able to Create Androids More Powerful Than Frieza
For being an electric arc centered on prison term travel , Dragon Ball Z ’s Cell Sagais surprisingly logical . meter travel stories can often go into trouble and give way under the rules they set for themselves , yet Akira Toriyama was capable to handle the electric arc well believe his lack of planning . However , it never quite made sense that Dr. Gero was capable to create Androids far superior to Frieza in strength .
The evil scientist had no knowledge of the case of Planet Namek , and therefore would have been completely unaware of just how sinewy Goku had become . Yet , he somehow designed cyborgs that annihilated multiple Super Saiyans with ease , after they coach in grooming for # 17 and # 18 ’s arriver .

Goku Catches Up On the Events of Namek in an Unusual Way
For being the serial publication ' protagonist , Goku misses a whole lot of the action throughoutDragon Ball Z. Whenever major developments hap , devotee can wager that the lead Saiyan is either soberly injure and incapacitate , or bushed . On Planet Namek , he was jug behind the repose of the radical , and arrived just in time to make the save on Gohan and Krillin . It was n’t the first clock time Goku made a last - second save , and it would n’t be the last .
What follow , however , was the first and last time he ever read someone ’s mind . To save both the characters ' and Akira Toriyama ’s time , Goku set his hand on Krillin ’s forehead , and suddenly was captivate up to speed on the entire spark .

The Saiyan ’s very first appearance in the serial features him being shoot multiple time , and , as a child , immediately walk it off . Now , after surpass Super Saiyan God , a laser almost kills him . No matter how significantly his guard was drop , this attack should not have done damage .

Despite Losing Android #18, Cell Returned Fully Powered Up
The Cell Saga likely contain the most holes of any bow throughout the total series , but is able to land rather well despite that . However , Cell ’s return to his perfect form after being blown up just does n’t make much good sense . He lose Android # 18 , and regress to his Semi - Perfect form before his sacrificial explosion , yet was Perfect upon his return . Toriyama did n’t explain it much in the original manga , butDragon Ball Zattempted to make sense of the return by claiming his cell remembered the Perfect physique .
If that were the lawsuit , it does n’t make much sense for him to have gone into his 2d form after losing # 18 in the first place . If his body remember Perfect Cell well enough to recreate it from only a core group , he should have been fine without # 18 anyway . It can be argue that the Zenkai buff had something to do with it , but increased strength does n’t mean much when a translation has such specific requirement .

At that moment , Frieza inform Goku they had five moment before the major planet would explode . What followed was a high - octane all - out brawl between the two warrior that last over three hr of real - world clock time . Dragon Ballhas always had some trouble with time limits , and that has n’t changed in recent years . The 48 - minute Tournament of Power also lasted several hour . However , the Goku and Frieza fight might just be the longest record five instant in history .

The Villain Can Supposedly Regenerate as Long as the Nucleus in His Head Is Intact
The explanation for Cell ’s return after he waste himself up fail to not only explain why he ’s in his Perfect contour , it also makes fiddling gumption commit prior consequence in the bow . If he ’s able to restore so long as the one karyon in his head remains intact , he should n’t have been able to bring around from Goku Instant Transmission Kamehameha in the first place in the tournament . The attack completely eviscerate Cell ’s top - half , and go forth only a pair of legs in its waste .
Yet those legs popped back up and Cell ’s torso and head sprouted out with little issue . In fact , the baddie was barely injured whatsoever . His regeneration is inherited from Piccolo ’s cells , and if the Namekian ever loses his headland at any point in the series , there ’s an improbably in high spirits chance he is n’t coming back from it . The Cell Saga has quite a few fault , and two of its more notable come in its final act .
