Why is Namek considered the best part of DBZ?

It seemed rather conclusive. I mean what better way to end a series than the final hunt for Dragonballs?

super saiyan
I'll blow your planet up
villain who kills
everyone still relevant sort of
major power spike but still makes some kind of sense
frieza is calm and not a caricature
decent animation

I mean everything was right, and everything since then has been a rehash

One reason.

>>141061577
Dont forget Gohan Krillin and Vegeta hiding and outsmarting their enemies until Ginyu Force arrived.

>>141061577
Add that Vegeta joins the cause but still having his own agenda

FIVE MINUTES

Didn't take place on Earth.

Because it's where the series was supposed to end, and it sure feels like it.

>Final grand hunt for 'original Dragon Balls'
>The legend of the Super Saiyan finally came to reality
>Enemies/opponents are decent without asspulls (Cell's asspulls, Buu's asspulls, etc.)
>Freeza is fucking badass, not a tantrum throwing faggot.
>Villain who is the strongest in the universe is kill
>Power hasn't exploded to the point of 90% of characters being useless.
>Vegeta isn't a total dick anymore.

The series was supposed to end long before Namek, friendo.

>decent animation
It follows the old Toei formula of "good quality episode, shit quality episode, decent quality episode."

Thanks for the linky-poo, what I got from it was:

>Possible Ending #N
and:


"Toriyama was originally going to end the series after Freeza. Goku would actually succeed in killing Freeza, then die in Planet Namek’s explosion. However, Dragon Ball was so popular by then that Toriyama’s editors forced him to continue, so he hastily brought Goku and Freeza back to life and began the Cell storyline."

What I also got was that I am retarded and missed the whole "fan speculation" before that.
