Is there an /a/ artist who can age characters better than Toriyama?

I don't know about art, but his character development is either meh or horrible.

Piccolo went from feared monster to just another jobber on the side who is not relevant to the plot. Sadly his only respected showings were through his arc to the Frieza arc and even then he jobbed in all of them due to muh plot.

Chi-Chi was cute and waifu material (Not a waifu fag) but due to Goku giving her PTSD from his fight with piccolo she became and because Toriyama wanted "le funny crazy mother stereotype" she became just another woman with bipolar disorder sadly. Worse, they decided to change her nice hairstyle in the Buu saga and made her an old lady.

Bulma was always a whore, but I was still okay with her, even now. Just the typical irrelevant "mechanical sciencey" person in the show. Super tries to make some scenes with her and her family trying to remind us that she was a main (supporting) character, but those scenes mean nothing when in the next few episodes she's acting like a whore again. I'll give her that she did help a lot with her technology.

Goku changed a bit. When he was a kid, he was more violent and somewhat more reasonable. As an adult he became more autistic yet softer, especially in Super.

Vegeta undoubtly had the biggest character development in the show. Even though I hate nu-Vegeta and I prefer the one from the Saiyan saga, I will not deny that he did go through a big change. I honestly just wish Dragonball did something different with him instead of making him one of the guys. I miss his old douchebag arrogant and evil personality.

FMA. The characters' physical growth was so subtle that you didn't realize how much older they looked until the very end.

How can you say it's character development when it all happens offscreen? The audience is just supposed to take at face value that Bulma was attracted enough to a murderous alien to have sex with and marry him.

The most relevant Piccolo ever was was during the Android Saga

>>159279797
yup. His last descent fight was vs Android 17, everything after that is jobbing.

>toriyama
>all pics are from the anime.
Come on anon, At least try a little.

they looked fine in DBZ

>>159279797
Are you serious? Toriyama basically offscreened a likeable character permanently for the sake of yet another jobbing.

Isn't Piccolo the favorite Toriyama character? I think is the reason he became Gohan 2nd father.

All character development that Piccolo should've had went to Vegeta, making Piccolo superfluous thus irrelevant. Think about it, through his whole "being the dad Gohan never had" arc we actually have a solid reason for Piccolo to become somewhat less of a villain, but after that he became kind of unimportant.
