Who is the most OVERRATED Dragon Ball character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Gogeta and Broly come to mind. Fanboys of those two characters could be toxic, especially back in the day.
Roshi for me. He's a fan favourite among all the Dragon Ball communities I know of, for example he was consistently the most requested DLC character in FighterZ according to fanpolls, but I never really liked him. Jackie Chun on the other, was an absolute lad. Seriously though, he had some great moments in early Dragon Ball like with Nam for example but those moments don't really happen anymore and he just has the pervert stuff except unlike Dragon Ball which would often comedically punish him (like when Honey I Shrunked Myself to spy on Bulma in the bathroom and ended up getting flushed in the toilet or when he refused to train Goku unless he got him a hot babe and he got stuck with Launch's insanity) Super doesn't even bother so he just lost a layer of his comedic schtick and is just left with the one note.
Him getting a spot in the Tournament of Power and being more useful than guys like Krillin and Tien bothered me too. Like, when Tien is introduced Roshi acknowledges Tien would've beaten him And I think he outright states during the 23rd World Tournament that they've all surpassed him so there was no reason to enter. And it's not like we ever see Roshi training in-between all that time, he has no reason to. I know it's fun to dunk on Yamcha because he's Yamcha he exists to be dunked on but like, Yamcha should logically be stronger than Roshi. I mean, I do appreciate them giving more time to other characters, but it was a pretty hard sell for me to accept his role there. Though to be fair, in both the anime and manga versions, most of the other universes combatants felt like fodder.

I mean... This was just really poor story telling. Im sorry, but there is no fucking way goddamn trunks is more powerful than ssgss VEGITO. The manga is a way more realistic version, trunks gets his ass handed to him, and is basically useless. Now I'm not saying that this scene wasn't cool, or even needed, I'm just calling BS.
The Trunks asspulls in the Zamasu arc are what I hate most about DBS.
It's a textbook case of egregious fan service.
Actually, I was really liking that arc too.... up until that point. It was definitely the most original and creative arc DBS had. It sucks that it had to end with that stain on it.
It's a classic case of a good story and they fail to stick the landing. It's like making it to the Olympics and completely eating shit once you start your event.

I seriously think it's a TOEI issue.
I can't help but imagine the guys at TOEI are these really young edgelords with awful fan-fic ideas and they cram their lame ideas into the work Toriyama & Toyotarou hand over to them.
