The list of opponents Goku agrees need to be eliminated is much shorter than the list of ones he wants to fight again when they are stronger. Despite most of them after the start of DBZ being existential threats.
Frankly speaking Frieza has somewhat mellowed out, probably the end result of being killed and sent to hell a couple times. He went from let’s genocide the filthy monkeys to let’s torture the filthy monkeys, which is progress I guess.
I’m not sure if the anime will ever get there, but if you read the manga past the end of Super (which ends on the Tournament of Destruction saga last I checked, like the one with Jiren, and then the Brolly movie), there’s more Frieza development. Btw I suggest reading even the parts at the start; it’s more of a companion piece than the retelling of the exact same story on a different medium. There is overlap between them, of course, but also a bunch of not overlap. Like Zamasu is more fleshed out and his whole path makes more sense in the manga.
Anime has more fighting, manga has more story telling.
that is a constant in Dragon Ball.
enemies get defeated, surpasseda and then they become entourage
It was hilarious watching Dragon Ball after growing up on Dragon Ball Z. When Yamcha shows up and is a threat I lost it.
Piccolo noooooooooooooo!

Though he goes back and forth on Frieza lol.

Eh I’ll stick with Z super and the newer stuff isn’t really my thing.
I’m in the cell saga of dbz. Do those dragonball goons, the girl and the fox and the little blue baby tyrant ever come back?
Yes, but you’re decades away lmao
Oh jeez, so like… In super or something. That’s amazing. Does Lunch ever come back after z? They just did her so dirty…
Hmm… She appears on and off at Kame House I think, but mainly as a background character. Agreed they did her dirty.
Toriyama pulled a D&D and kinda forgot about her
Super or GT, if memory serves right Pilaf (the blue gremlin) is the instigator of GT.
That’s the best part of the whole series IMO. I loved cell as a villain.
