@vancexentan Master Yoda also completely failed to notice the Sith Lord rising to power right under his nose. In short, the Jedi Order were terrible.

First one who calls Yaksha a tail-less Saiyan gets a prize.
Oh, what do we win?
Freeza: Another bath!

Ah, so she did have horns, after all! Curious, Ovaan was certain he had never encountered this particular race before. But then again, the universe was vast and theoretically limitless. At her introduction he did his best to return the favor with an equally pleasant response, "Ah, where are my manners? I am Ovaan, a pleasure to make your acquaint-"
"So, how did you two die?"
"-tance..." he was speechless, but only a moment. Without so much as losing his composure he gave a dismissive chuckle, "Pardon me, I misheard you. It sounded as if you just asked us how we died but, well that would be absurd." he laughed, albeit awkwardly. But as he did, some pieces in his head started coming together. He was in a battle before mysteriously waking up here... and he'd not thought of a single explanation yet for just how he got here... No. No way! He couldn't possibly have... could he?
"You... did mean to say something different, yes?" he asked, still hoping and secretly wondering if he was just in denial, "Because there's simply no way I could have died. If I had, then how am I standing here, breathing, and having a conversation?" before he could stop it he felt a twitch in one of his eyes, "No! No! No no no nonononono, NO! I won't believe it! I refuse to believe that I am dead!"

What does it say about Toriyama that one of Super's arguably most interesting arcs (Moro) wasn't even written by him at all?

Hello darkness my old friend.
<Snipped quote by Double>
No spoilers, please. :) I am still holding off hope against hope that I'll eventually get to watching the lot. Also the hobbit movies are a sin against the original work and I hate them. As much as the LOTR movies were good those abominations were not. They literally cut out all the funny parts from the book.
Now, can we get back to you telling me about your death? ;) ;)
I'll have to go to work in about an hour and a half or so, so unless you want my post to be rushed and half-assed, it's gonna have to wait until I get back this evening. xD
Hit didn't really need a backstory. He represented something we'd never really seen before in Dragon Ball, being an assassin with unique abilities and no transformations.
He was Tao if Tao had somehow become a galactic level fighter. xD

I. Hate. Time travel.
DBZ makes it slightly more bearable honestly what with the splitting timelines. Removes the issue of paradoxes to a degree, though the splitting brings with it its own chaos.
And yeah... The Black arc was... uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. It's the arc where I started watching Super and fuck that ending. ToP was a bit of a slog, but damn if the ending wasn't a visual spectacle.
Hit > Jiren
Yeah, I said it. Fight me. Hit has a more memorable character design, and a way cooler gimmick for his abilities. Their backstories are roughly equivalent in that neither one of them actually have one, but otherwise yeah: in my mind Hit is an objectively superior character overall.
<Snipped quote by Double>
Yamcha actually used to be my favorite because he had long hair and so did I when I was younger... but then he never fucking did anything in DBZ so I latched onto Gohan instead because as a child I guess I related best to the youngest character.
So... yeah, it might just be bad writing and unfortunate circumstances, but that still means being the "Yamcha" of a group is unfortunate. XD
And I'm fully aware of how ridiculous the cheating thing is. And just in general, for everything DBZ did right, there was a lot of plot induced stupidity used to move the plot along. Like... half the fucking Android/Cell saga, honestly. DBZ really did peak during the Namek saga. Plenty of cool stuff came after that, but as a whole... Namek takes it. Saiyan saga is right up there as well of course.
Yeah... like, if I'm Trunks, I'm not even gonna bother waiting for Goku. I'll just fly straight to the Lab and nuke the hell out of it and call it a day. I know I praised Trunks for being the pragmatist earlier, but this was just blatant idiot plot writing by Toriyama. Hmm, it's almost like Time Travel stories tend to be stupid in general and one should probably just avoid them altogether. xD
