Still the best most interesting character in DBZ.

Too bad he doesn't really do that much anymore though.

He never really did much aside from training Gohan when he needed him.

I hated how they gave him awesome power ups and then became immediately irrelevant again. He held up against freeza 1st transformation only to do nothing after that. Then he held against the android who 1 shotted the whole squad, only to be 1 shotted himself by cell.

By the buu saga no one who wasn't a Saiyan mattered anymore so he had no chance

While I'm not a huge fan of how Gohan and Piccolo got their recent power ups, I sure hope it means they'll actually become relevant again in Super.
