Heh you know that would be a great episode. Trunks & Goten undergoing Saiyan puberty, it be hilarious what could happen.
Well now that I think about I'm pretty sure Gohan's puberty was pretty chill but hey what's a little retcon here & there where Saiyan kids get a little more violent once they reach a certain age, heheh.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."We don't know what Gohand's puberty was like...because there was a time skip.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.The scariest Dragon Ball villain to me is/was a tossup between Freeza, Cell and Majin Buu.
Freezer doesn't really have the ability to kill people in manners as horrific as the other two, for him the problem is just that he's so sadistic and so much stronger than everyone else that whoever he's fighting could die at any moment.
Cell's introduction was unnerving, it was built up just like a horror movie, making the martial artist-android conflict suddenly seem small. You'd think enemy ki that could be felt would be relieving, but it's unlike anything the characters have known, he's got a giant stinger, which are already something of a primal fear, and his works in reverse! Thankfully complete Piccolo is strong enough to beat him but Cell's smart enough to lower his power level in between strikes, Piccolo won't be stronger for much longer.
Buu didn't have the initial punch that Freeza or Cell did. With him, it was just that there were was false flag after false flag to the point he became a seemingly never ending nightmare. Well his master's dead, maybe now...no he's worse. Well he needs to sleep...for a few seconds, he's back to killing. A little boy befriended him, and he's still killing. They've finally got a warrior who might be able to take him down, no, Buu's just transformed into something even stronger...something smarter and more ruthless in the way it kills. But he's vaporized! The vapor left was enough for him to reform. He's trapped in another region of space and time...or not. Maybe Gohan can...Buu absorbs people now! Vegeta's undoing the transformation...Buu's Ki is going up! No, it's going back down again, finally a setback. And even still Buu proves to be a difficult wad of gum to dispose of.
Goku tried blasting Buu apart but realized Buu could reform faster than Goku could hurt him and it would have been better to wear Buu's Ki down through a prolonged fight first before trying to finish him off. Problem there being Buu's much greater stamina. Well what about just overwhelming the to the point he can't regenerate, Buu won't give him enough time to try.
Freeza the overwhelming force they had to hide from or inevitably die against. Cell was an unexpected twist that brought loads of paranoia as he hid among the confounded populace, constantly getting stronger as their numbers dropped, Buu the thing that just kept killing while refusing to die.
Buldogue's lawyerTo this day, no Dragon Ball villain has left me quite as shocked and horrified as Demon King Piccolo did when he killed Shenlong.
There hasn't ever been a DBZ villain that actually, legit scared me as a kid. Mostly because, at the time, I never really had a sense of scale in terms of destruction they could wrought. For me, its like, Can tear a man limb from limb complete with gore everywhere? Scary. Destroy the entire Earth's population in two minutes? Meh.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!Or neither of those things were actually that fear inducing...but nobody knows.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Has to be Freeza for me. The sheer power gap between him and the heroes was so immense... that kind of absolute power was frightening to child me.
Beerus might have a similar power gap at the moment, but he's not a sadist (he's not exactly a very moral being, but he also doesn't delight in torturing those weaker than himself) and can be legitimately friendly when he's not ticked off.
You two have officially made my day

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!There is something kinda terrifying about Goku Black though:
Imagine seeing your favourite hero hunting down innocent and helpless people and murdering them one by one.
Considering how gentle Goku is most of the time, and that, even at his absolute angriest, he rarely enjoys hurting others the way Black clearly did, there's a lot of Fridge Horror in seeing him smirk sadistically as he hunts down Trunks.
Freeze, while not scary to me at the time, is pretty terrifying. He's just so far above everyone else that there's literally no way to stop him (unless you become a fucking Super Saiyan, are Majin Buu or are a God of Destruction).
And once you anger him, he'll make you suffer in the worst ways possible as he sadistically toys with you by showing you just how hopeless your situation really was. He could kill you in seconds, but he'll drag it out to drive you well over the Despair Event Horizon, and he'll do so gleefully.
In hindsight, Freeza might still be one of the worst villains in the franchise (worse than Black) because he has no excuse for being the way he is. He just is.
One Strip! One Strip!Buu. Being the first villain to actually succeed in killing everyone on the planet was genuinely unsettling for me, especially after killing the supporting cast. I genuinely thought they'd be safe with Plot Armor but nope.
I know ragging on Toei for inconsistency is a common thing here This shit actually freaked me out a bit as a kid
Not really sure how that's supposed to be inconsistent with anything, it's just showing something that was stated to happen. But, yeah, good scene.
It's too bad it has to be booged down with stupid You Tube comments.
-deep breath-
I just realized how stupidly useful Puar and Oolong were.
Seriously.
There was never a limit put on what they can transform into. Oolong became a giant more than three times his size and mass. What if Oolong had transformed into Shenron? Heck, Puar can do this indefinitely and can fly.
He could've posed as King Cold, Gero, 18, 17, Babidi, Bee, Hercule, and probably solved a lot of problems and/or distracted several villains long enough for the heroes to put Plan A back into motion.
For that matter I'm curious as to why I can't remember Oolong getting eaten by Majin Buu. Presumably he was with Roshi and the gang, but, hypothetically, when Buu went on his killing spree, Oolong and Puar could've transformed into, like, microorgranisms and completely evaded detection. Or turned into gases and been virtually indestructible.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

A bonk on the head for a teen isn't nearly as effective as it would be for a baby...
At worst, a minor fatal blood blow wound to concussion.
