Why can't modern Shounen let the fights speak for themselves? How is Dragon Ball still the only Shounen that knows how to show a fight?
>reaction shots to other characters cheering on from the peanut gallery DB does this too. Constantly. >characters taking up 3 pages to explain their abilities to each other Explaining the powers is necessary in a story with more complicated abilities than flying, punching, and shooting lasers. Even in DB you have characters explaining their powers. >pausing the main plot so the side characters can have their 15 minutes of fame against literal whos This is better than in Dragon Ball where the side characters are nothing but jobbers.

Z is shit. Stick to OG.

>Not in the manga, nigger. It does. >There is not much to explain really. Yes, but it still sets aside time to explain them. So it's only logical that in a series like JoJo, with more complicated abilities, that it would take more time to explain them. And in a modern series like Demon Slayer, not much more time is set aside to explain powers than in Dragon Ball. >Side characters are nobodies in most shonen shit Show me the Yamcha of Yu Yu Hakusho, Fist of the North Star, One Piece, Hunter X Hunter, or any other shounen series. Any other character with such a legendary reputation of being worthless.

This. It's the best part of the franchise.

Dragon Ball is the only Shounen in history where someone other than the main character defeated the main villain of the arc in the arc's climax. Cope elsewhere.

Kuwabara's more like Krillin. He doesn't have a reputation like Yamcha. And Usopp is intentionally a weak coward - it's a part of his character and displayed in his design and behavior; Yamcha is a 6'4 desert badass with cool scars and a lady killer, yet he's a complete loser in the actual execution of the story. So Usopp's character does what it's going for, while Yamcha's doesn't. And so Usopp doesn't have the reputation of Yamcha.
Yamcha was always supposed to be a loser. He loses his first fight because he can't speak to women. What's your point? Dragon Ball manages to utilize its characters pretty well considering Goku is out of commission for half of Z and the other characters carry the show in the meantime. Read the manga again.
Try watching it before you spout bullshit, faggot. You probably only like DB for it being "badass" like a child.

I hate the Buu arc too.
