Well, there's the invisible man, which had interference from both sides so it's kind of fair.

It sucks when you're the worst of the best, ya know? No one acknowledges the fact that you actually made that fucking list, they just deride the fact that you placed last in it.

I mean, for me it helps that Kuwabara has some legitimately cool moments, so while he definitely gets worfed a lot, it feels less like he's absolutely worthless, and more so that he's clearly the weakest protagonist but still keeps pace to at least some extent. It also helps that Yu Yu Hakusho has lower power scaling so it doesn't seem like things go absurdly beyond him too fast. Plus he also does serve the "Main Characters best friend" role so he has some relevance beyond combat effectiveness.

YYH's power scaling is still pretty absurd - there are massive differences between classes (about 20 times from just from A to S, and the difference from lower S to upper S is far greater than E to S), A class are supposedly able to devastate the entire planet and have power equivalent to various gods from religion and mythology, and the power levels given in the manga imply that the difference between Yomi and his right hand man is nearly one thousands times. The same amount that Freeza had over Captain Ginyu!

It's just that power-ups are extremely easy to get, and get easier further into the series. Seeing Yusuke die made Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama rocket up to middle A class from being C - B class characters. Then with some months of training they can make a bunch C class characters into middle S class fighters, and in the manga Kuwabara reaches S class off-screen while studying for university.

That always made me chuckle. The scaling is managed but the jumps are absurd.

In Dragon Ball Super, even.

A Saiyan lady going not just Super Saiyan, but Legendary Super Saiyan. All big and muscley and bulky.

It's. It's beautiful.

Excuse me, I've got something in my eye.

They made Broly canon without actually making Broly canon and added female super-saiyans at the same time

I was watching Dragon Ball Kai on Toonami and there's a criminal during the Great Saiyaman saga who looks exactly like Nappa. TFS is going to have a field day with that episode.

He had a Russian accent in the dub too.

Seriously, Russian Nappa.

Is it weird that it feels significant that the TFS Broly movie and now the reveal of this Legendary Super Saiyan girl happened the same month?
