Almost always the previous main-villain('s power) is shown in the beginning of the next arc in a fodder kind-of way to make the new threat look bigger.
Is this really trivia or even true? I can only think of Freeza and arguably Vegeta in the Freeza Saga and you could say Nappa (when
) but that was still the same arc with no gap. Explain.
Piccolo (main-villain of 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai arc) got stomped & made to look like a joke directly by Raditz.
(100 years later EDIT: Even Raditz was made to look like a joke when the Saibamen rivalled him, and Piccolo and Tenshinhan and Kuririn could defeat them easily.)
Kiwi who apparently rivalled Vegeta before his Zenkai from Earth (Saiyan Saga) got defeated easily by a powered-up Vegeta. Who was no match for the Ginyu-Force or Freeza.
Freeza came-back as Mecha-Freeza & got one-shotted by Trunks.
Cell, can arguably be compared to Dabura (I made a thread about that, and what might have been AT's intentions), and he got easily defeated by Boo (not to mention Majin-Vegeta did, too).
