Yeah, they kind of wrote themselves into a corner with that episode. There's no outcome to that fight that would be both a) satisfying, and b) logically sound.
Goku fights Berserker Kale as a SSB and loses —> "BULLSHIT"
Goku fights Berserker Kale as a SSB and wins —> "Well, that was anticlimactic."
Goku fights Berserker Kale as a SSJ or SSJ2 and loses —> "Why didn't he go Blue?"
Goku fights Berserker Kale as a SSJ or SSJ2 and wins —> "Well, that was really anticlimactic."

No beer?! But if there's no beer, then there's no beef or beans!![]()
I wouldn't think that the concept isn't sound, but Kale's starting personality really felt like it was ticking off checkmarks from some otaku database.
If that were the case, her base personality would have been more like Caulifla's — aggressive or at the very least not shy. As it was though, the shy chick routine appealed more to locals more than westerners.

Well, you need someone for her to be obsessed with, and it can't be Goku because they're from different universes. So they went for the yuri-bait. Ironically it probably makes more sense than Broly's motivation did.

I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere, along with him being a source of Japanese Snark Bait towards the Western fanbase. Not 100% sure though.

Those body types, mang. They really get ya good.
Then that's a ridiculous standard. You can't honestly expect most characters in anything to have arcs of their own unless the cast is ridiculously small. That Kale had an arc (such as it was) says nothing about it's quality. Having nothing is often better than having something poorly-executed.

Kale shouldn't be, but she will because there's no point otherwise. Even though this could have been avoided in several ways without needing to make her power level unappealing.
