Its weird to say because Frieza saga is so hyped by the community but I really think the writing quality of that arc is very underappreciated for how well everything is executed.
#dragon ball z#dbz#the pacing is insanely good. Tension just grows without it feeling uncomfortable or dropping#the villains are silly without losing that threatening edge for our heroes#Vegeta being a terrifying loose canon who everyone has to play around on the chess board#the super saiyan prophecy and the 'power levels are stupid in the face of training and technique' theme colliding together perfectly#like genuinely! peak writing.#I think Gohan is a more compelling character arc just because of how long we watch him grow#but the cell saga drrrraaaagggs at points and the narrative sort of depends on you getting plot points that aren't communicated super well#Saiyan Saga is well written but it is mostly set up for frieza saga so ymmv#buu saga.... I've gotta actually watch it properly before I can judge it
