That infamous scene, the one where he gets sliced in half by his own attack, is probably one of the most recognizable/iconic scenes in any anime/cartoon ever.
Whenever i see fools say 'Joffrey is the most evil character created' i always instantly think of Frieza
DBZ should have ended after Frieza
But Frieza was the first major villain in DBZ
Plus Goku turned Super Saiyan for the first time. It should have ended after Cell and continued with Gohan's life. They did such a good job with the story until then.
But i didn't like the way Trunk killed him so easily when he cae back on earth
i was ready for him to slay and he just got punched in 5secs
it was embarassing
