Frieza has been cybernetically enhanced since much of his body was destroyed when Namek exploded. This time, Frieza has returned, having survived his fight against Goku on Namek. Unbeknownst to them all, they are once again threatened. Krillin has gotten over his breakup with Maron and resumes his training, as do Piccolo and Tien Shinhan. Bulma has developed some form of affection for him, but Vegeta does not notice this. Although rude and hostile, he reluctantly accepts Bulma's offer to live at Capsule Corporation since he has no where else to go. Meanwhile, Vegeta returns to Earth after failing to find any trace of Goku. However, she finds out that tutor is abusive and chases him off after he insults Goku. Gohan, who has become worried of when his father will come home, begins to slack off on his studies and his mother hires a private tutor. They are still waiting for the day when Goku finally returns home. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.A year and a half after planet Namek's destruction, many of the characters of Dragon Ball Z begin to regain a normal life. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote: When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.Īn author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone.

If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. Power levels establish tension and drama. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
