I know there's quite a bit of fan speculation about why Tien was so important early on but fell off the map. Seen plenty of youtube videos about it.
However, I have a theory I've not come across.
I think Tien was always supposed to be a play on the Chinese martial artist who dedicates his life to training, which he does of course, but it eventually became a joke by Toriyama to make fun of those type of characters. Kinda makes sense if you look at it that way, no?
I know Toriyama is famous for forgetting what he writes but maybe he didn't. Maybe it was meant to be a joke all along?
