Dragonball and start of Z was good due to the variation imo.
I like Shows like One Piece and Fairy Tail due to the massive amount of variation between the characters. For example Luffy gets rekt by swords, so his buddy Zoro the Swordsman can rek them. Most of the characters would dislike cannonfire or bullets, but Luffy can reflect them.
In DBZ after or during Freeza arc all characters became the same. At start of DBZ at least Piccolo could just kill everyone with his SBC, and Goku was the master of Kamehameha. Sure others could use it, but not as good as him. Krillin could destructo disc or solar flare, Tien clones, Piccolo regen etc. But then it became anyone important had everything important.
