Team Fag Star

I still think Mecha Freeza is the best example of DBZ taking the piss themselves. He knew damn well what the reader's reaction to Freeza returning would be. So he did it and within the next page had Trunks just cut him in half. Back more powerful than ever, cut in half by a boy with a sword. DBZ was never serious.

It's a trick writers use to establish how strong someone is, video games use it as well. I'm not sure if it has a name or not but it's definitely shared knowledge.

Well if you're down with tvtropes faggotry, it's called "The Worf Effect."

But alas, things have gone downhill from the halcyon days of Worf getting thrown around by Borg drones. Nowadays hack mango writers establish badassery by having some broken bad guy no-sell shit like it's going out of style. I swear a lot of Bleach villains aren't too far off from parodies like One-Punch Man. Because apparently the best type of fight is a one-sided curbstomp that doesn't actually look like a fight.

DBZ is a deep, philosophical exploration of the human condition.

(Also you'd think the whole thing having started out as a gag manga would've been an obvious clue.)

Yes, also this one is used a lot:

OPM is at least smart enough to have the struggle of it's protagonist not being to overcome some impossibly strong dude that's going to be replaced by another one next week. His struggle is for recognition and respect, which is much more relatable.

OPM is gay shit for normalfags. Put that trash down and read mob instead.

Acronyms are my kryptonite.
