>>9901883>last time any human characters were ever relevant in any way, with Tien pinning down Cell and Krillin's choice to not kill 18Probably safe to just say nonsaiyans in general . Pretty kino that Piccolo was actually the strongest character at one point in that saga.
I'd say the Future Trunks being a character and Gohan not being a bitch are huge. And you had 4 alpha super saiyans running around rather than just Goku/Vegeta and their kids being either really small or simps. All of those really cool iconic artworks from back in the day always portray Super Saiyan Goku, Vegeta, Cell Saga Gohan, Future Trunks, and sometimes Piccolo. And even that iconic full lineup shot of all the characters is usually their Android/Cell saga looks. Never really young/older Gohan or kid Trunks/goten/gotenks.
