Dragon Ball is a very dear series, but this does not mean that he does not have plot holes, since he does have them and are quite problematic
Although it is a very dear and influential franchise, it cannot be denied that Dragon Ball has some plot holes that many overlooked, but that they cannot be denied that they are there. These, to a greater or less measure, They can negatively affect the work and are mainly caused by the convenience of the script To generate tension or suspense. And, in other cases, these happen due to direct changes in the plot, the retcon.
We have taken the time to collect a list with some of the most problematic plot holes and that harm the work. Obviously, not They change the essence of the franchise, but they cannot be ignored either.
The functioning of death and resurrection
The operation of the resurrection in Dragon Ball has changed a lot
Dragon balls are the objects that drive the plot of this work and that are there to solve certain problems, the death being one of the most important. These grant wishes, including the fact of resuscitating people, As was demonstrated from the original Dragon Ball series. However, its rules and operation have varied.
Initially, when Master Roshi and Chaiotzu die, their bodies are preserved to prevent them from decomposing, hindering resurrection. However, Dragon Ball Z makes this simpler, but develops more the other facet of death, the other world.
But it's not all, since Dragon Ball Z also lengthens the entire issue of resurrection, as happened when they revived Goku to fight Nappa and Vegeta, But this did not take Goku to the world of the livingbut his halo was simply eliminated, but he continued in the other world and had to leave quickly to get on time. This was done so with the intention of creating suspense in the plot about whether I would be able to achieve it before Nappa kill Gohan. Some time later, this resurrection process became faster. Everything will depend on the requirements of the plot.
Another detail that is overlooked is The fact that very few characters receive the honor of conserving their bodieswhile most of the individuals who die, we can only see their souls. However, later in Dragon Ball Z we can see that practically all villains retain their bodies in hell.
The duration of vegito fusion
Vegito's fusion is impressive and is one of the most beloved due to how powerful the character looks. However, the issue of duration is very difficult to understand. Unlike the dancing of fusion, whose result lasts 30 exact minutesthe duration of potaries depends more on the demands of the script.
In the beginning, it was said that the merger through these sacred earrings was eternal, but we saw that when Vegito was swallowed by Super Buu, Vegeta and Goku separated. Then we tried to explain that The magic of the interior of the villain annulled this effect of the fusion. Then, in Dragon Ball Super, when Vegito reappeared and could beat Zamasu, the merger ended again.
So, we were told that the merger was only eternal if it was a kaio involved and also of the use of powerso the merger of Vegito only lasted 10 minutes at that time because of that.
All this feels like attempts to justification to prevent vegito from saving the day and eliminating the villain, since it has enough power for itgenerating tension. But all this matter of the duration of the Potara slopes is confusing.
Goku separated from his friends after Buu's defeat
The fact that Goku leaves his friends makes no sense
Goku has always been someone who cares about his friends and who enjoys the company of these, so the fact that, after beating Buu, he has lost contact with his friends. This can be seen in the epilogue of Dragon Ball Zwhen Goku trains with Goten for the new martial arts tournament, letting us see that this young man is not able to overcome his father even if he trained. The first thing Bulma does is scold Goku and shout for not visiting her for 5 years.
Obviously, we know that Goku can become obsessed with his training, but this It does not imply that 5 years will spend without seeing themand less in a peace period where they usually meet to celebrate and much more. This generates a conflict with the type of person that has always been Goku.
