Biggest Dragon Ball plot holes?
Off the top of my head, Roshi barely matching an early Goku, and yet somehow performing near Goku's level at a later tournament after he had several upgrades stands out..
You'd think Tao Pie Pie would crush Roshi as easily as he did Goku, but Roshi's fight with Tenshinhan says differently (Even if he was losing, it wasn't the stomp Goku vs Tao was..)
The androids! After the build up of Freeza, we suddenly find out a mere human scientist just happened to create beings much, much stronger then him.
How did a human even get the materials to create androids that could one shot Freeza? A single Android 16 would have been enough to conquor the universe.
And why did he make them so strong? Based on his observations, he never saw a SSJ, so he went way way waaay overkill when as far as he knew, something a fraction of Android 17/18's strength would do.

The Dragon Ball's "rules".
Can't affect anyone stronger then the Dragon's creator. So Android #18 can't be made human. Yet, Freeza can apparently ask for immortality. (He failed, but it was implied it would've worked..)
And Piccolo Sr. was transformed into his youthful self, even though he was powerful enough to kill Shenron.

My thought's, too. Goten and Gohan are brothers.
Kami removed Goku's tail, so maybe Piccolo or Dende insisted on having them off.
And Vegeta would totally cave to Bulma of it was her idea. The whole Saiyan pride thing probably doesn't apply to "half breeds", and he never really seemed to show much interest of fatherhood, so probably left most decisions to his wife as long as he got to train..

The first ones were way stronger than anticipated and harder to control. Based on his calculations, the energy absorbing model was more than enough. Those two plot holes kinda cancel eachother out. My question is where is trunks and goten's tails? Chichi doesn't know about the great ape thing vegeta took loosing his as a huge disgrace and probably wouldn't let bulma cut it.
There would have been no downside to making himself one of the actual strong androids. He would have killed the Z fighters and everything would have been peachy.
