What I mean is that at some point a HIGHER level becomes horribly irrelevant. Once you literally have no fear of dying what's the point in even writing a story? This is the reason I couldn't ever truely enjoy DBZ because once you realize every character can simply come back to life hundreds of times over there's no sense of danger or urgency, no fear. LIke what was even the point anymore of crying when a character died when they can simply be wished back to life by bringing together the seven balls? And unlike anime like Re Zero where the m.c. can cheat death but is totally weak and lacks self confidence these immortal characters are literally Gods at this point. At least in RE ZERO there is some danger, some fear, some sense of urgency. We don't understand his powers, we don't know what will occur, etc. But in stories like Solar God and DBZ we know what to expect.

WHy would you want a villain like Freize? He was literally the arch-type you just mentioned. Freize was overtly cocky, arroganyt, a pompus ass, and literally helped Goku kill him by killing Krillin. FReiza literally had the chance to sneak attack and murder the saiyan who almost destroyed him but he chose to blow up Krillin of all people for a cheap laugh. He was a idiot.

I agree with you regarding other characters getting spotlight. The one thing Naruto did right was during the 4th shinobi war, all the main characters had their own battles. Every battle wasn't decided by Naruto jumping in and saving the day. We got to see memories, drama, and badass fighting scenes involving every character. I really wished DBZ would've done a better job of not making all the other characters besides Goku look like punching bags. Like even Gohan who defeated Cell became horribly irrelevant and on the verge of useless after 7 years of studying.
