Ray's Reviews > Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 12: Enter Trunks

In my view Freeza should have been the ultimate Dragon Ball villain. The most powerful being in the universe, until defeated by the Super Saiyan.

Then, suddenly Freeza returns and the mysterious Trunks shows up. It was certainly a bold way to introduce the new addition to the cast, and he's a solid character. But to easily defeat Freeza and even his dad King Cold was a bit of a cheap way to show how the next arc will have villains EVEN MORE POWERFUL.

(I mean, they blow up planets, what did it even mean at this point to be so powerful...)

I will have some thoughts to share about the upcoming Cell Saga in future volumes. I wonder if it should have ended before, but in any case it was certainly interesting to keep up with the science fiction evolution of Dragon Ball, by shifting from space opera to time travel.
