I'm linking this because it is the best Dragon Ball story.
A better Dragon Ball story literally cannot be written. Everyone can go home now.
@Gohan being as central as Krillin, Vegeta, and Bulma: Not really. He had no role whatsoever in Dragon Ball, a minor role in the Saiyan/Namek Saga, a major role only at the tail end of the Cell Saga and almost no role before then, a major role in the Buu Saga, a very minor role in the Beerus arc, a minor role in Resurrection 'F', no role whatsoever in the U6/U7 tournament, no role whatsoever in the Future Trunks arc, and a major(?) role in the Universal Survival arc.
Bulma and Krillin both have much more overall prominence than he does, factoring in Dragon Ball, even if Krillin hasn't had any significant amount of focus recently and Bulma only came back into prominence with the Future Trunks arc. Vegeta only has as much focus as he does because the man absolutely insists on having some sort of role in every single arc after his introduction.
That's not to say that Gohan isn't really close to the aforementioned three in importance as a character (though that's less because of anything Gohan's done in more recent arcs and more because of Krillin and Bulma not doing much of anything for multiple arcs). If the Universal Survival arc puts a large enough amount of focus on him, it alone may tip the scales.

Krillin had just as much, if not more, focus than Gohan during the Saiyan/Namek arcs. He also had more prominent of a role for the entire Cell Saga, up until Gohan suddenly did his thing at the end. He was almost as focused on in Resurrection 'F' as Gohan and he had just as minor of a role in the Beerus arc.
The only times in the entire series where Gohan noticeably outshines Krillin is at the very end of the Cell Saga, the entire Buu Saga, and the Universal Survival arc (so far).
I mean, for the parts that Gohan actually existed, yeah, I'd say he was much more prominent than Krillin or Bulma. It doesn't actually need to be said they were more prominent during the portion of the series set years before he was born.
Saying Krillin was more prominent during the Saiyan and Namek Sagas, or Androids until the end just sounds like massive stretching to me. At best, Krillin was on par with him.

Because his death motivates Goku. Same thing with Demon King Piccolo, where he's dead the whole time but his presence can be felt constantly through Goku's actions and reactions.
Krillin's thing with 18 went from the second she kissed him to a little bit after Cell absorbed her, and there is a sizable chunk of the story mostly focused on Krillin, Vegeta, and Trunks.

Oh if that's the case then I don't actually care anymore. No sense in talking to someone who's not gonna budge on their stance.
yes, the extreme reaction of other characters, not the one you keep insisting is the focal point when they're not.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.1. Based on what you guys have said on the matter, it seems to me that my earlier analysis of resurrection F was correct; Frieza's return meant the end of the world no matter what happened. The rest of the Z-fighters didn't stand a chance, Goku couldn't defeat him even with his new transformation and when luck began to smile upon him, he let down his guard and still lost. Vegeta may have gained the upper hand, but, until someone else here gives me logical, sound and unbiased argument, it seems to me that that only happened because Goku wore Frieza down to his limit. And in the end, it was still Vegeta who pushed Frieza to point where he destroyed the Earth, so, like I said; Frieza's return meant end no matter what the Z-fighters did. It was only because Whis gave everyone a rewind and a Redo that everything turned out great really doesn't sit well with me. Especially when I think about how Gohan was nearly killed during this arc and in front of his baby brother no less as well.
2. Is it me or has Dragon Ball Super been mostly revolving around the power of the franchise's deities?
3. Technically speaking, isn't Goku's a royal too? He married into the Family of the Ox-king when he married his daughter, Chi-Chi, who is still the princess until she dies.
So I was watching more of Boo Saga Kai and encountered something interesting that made me pause and double check the manga to confirm it.
At some point between Cell and Boo, Dende upgraded Earth's Dragon Balls.
After they wish back all of the people Vegeta killed, Goku pops in and asks Dende what they should do. Dende, who pretty much knows what they wished for, tells Goku to tell Shenron that they don't need the other two now. Ergo, mass revivals no longer eat up two wishes.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!![]()

No, Piccolo corrects Goku later and says they only have one wish due to using a mass revival. The limit still applies (although the way Piccolo says it makes it sound like they only have two wishes tops, unless he and Goku were talking about the expected two wishes remaining).
For Dende not knowing, well, since Goku had to tell him they even used a wish he must not have seen what happened and so wouldn't know what the wish was. It was only after Goku returned that everything was explained.

Oh, I wasn't aware of Piccolo correcting him later on. Even so, Goku says that Bulma's going to use the Dragon Balls to bring back everyone Vegeta killed so there'd be no reason for Dende to assume that the wish was anything other than a mass revival.
More shots of the new mobile game Dragon Ball The Strongest Warriors.
Seems there will be some adventuring, and it looks like this game will be an action RPG with some fighting elements. Also, more characters we're shown off, and it seems this is who we know is playable so far:
- Kid Goku
- Kid Krillin
- Krillin
- Kid Chi-Chi
- Chi-Chi
- Ox-King
- Master Roshi
- Jackie Chun
- Tao Pai-Pai
- Tien
- Yajirobe
- Piccolo
It wouldn't surprise me if adult Goku or King Piccolo were also playable, but they weren't shown off.

Is there a typo? Because the previous paragraph described 16's death as making everything better.
