Ginyu’s Final Fate in Dragon Ball Wasn’t on Namek: It’s So Peaceful Yet Fiendish I’m Not Sure if Toriyama Is a Genius or He Just Forgot

Captain Ginyu was one of the most fascinating villains introduced during the Namek Saga of Dragon Ball Z. As the leader of the powerful Ginyu Force, he was built up as a serious threat, so much so that Goku had to get really serious to face him.
This bolstered the threat and terror of the galactic conqueror, Frieza. Yet, despite all that buildup, I saw Ginyu’s story go from an intriguing antagonist and take a turn so bizarre that it almost feels like Toriyama forgot he even existed.
From a commanding officer of a mercenary group that was feared across the galaxy to being trapped inside a frog’s body (yes), Ginyu’s downfall is either one of Dragon Ball’s weirdest gags or yet another one of its forgotten and missed opportunities.

Initially, I found that Captain Ginyu himself was a powerful character.
