Goku is the heart of Dragon Ball, but some of the series’ most intense and emotional moments happen when he’s NOT there. Whether it’s the Z Fighters’ desperate struggle against the Saiyans, Gohan and Krillin surviving on Namek, or Gohan stepping up to defeat Cell, Goku’s absence has often elevated the stakes, deepened the storytelling, and allowed other characters to shine. In this video, we break down how and why removing Goku from the equation has led to some of Dragon Ball’s best moments. From the Frieza Saga’s incredible build-up, to the Moro Arc’s return to classic tension, we analyze how Toriyama used Goku’s absence to create some of the most memorable battles and character arcs in the franchise. But has modern Dragon Ball forgotten this technique by keeping Goku in the spotlight too much? Let’s discuss whether the series could benefit from letting others take the lead again. --------------- Become a Channel Member - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkT-qyMf0_j3Z3t6cjUpWSg/join My other videos 🔥- Ranking videos - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTyGdOePnllPFYLSwu60Cp8mGu9pylaUC&si=qflCML3eCBSfhgJP Fighting videos - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTyGdOePnllNwbkktU9CNXEuAjtmEKPp4&si=kuHErftZLNpSVsxW DBZ Dub Comparison - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTyGdOePnllMO65sxpo14CaJtYj_8NmD4&si=9gnSLSOMCxqP-W3W My Reviews - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTyGdOePnllNNqb1jjM4ziKQZPG5mcqmJ&si=t_DP4OIL60tlNlgi Subscribe😊 - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkT-qyMf0_j3Z3t6cjUpWSg 📷 Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/keyreviewsofficial/ ♪ Follow me on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@keyreviewsofficial 𝕏 Follow me on X - https://x.com/KeyReviews_ 📩 Business: keyreviews@yahoo.com 💬 Did you like this video?
