Is it the end of the age of Heroes and Villains? Are there no more villains? The Retro DBZ had the most rudimentary alignment system: you were either a hero or a villain. It was never a perfect system:
It got a little murky with characters like Bardock.
Some villains, like the Androids and Cell, were not likely to work with each other at all.
Some Rogue personalities have levels that just don’t make sense as a villain.
It was a clunky system, but it more or less worked thematically at the time. But that was way before Dragon Ball Super where alignments started becoming… less clear. The first and one of the best examples being the God of Destruction himself, a problem that PanZ had to face.
As a God of Destruction, Beerus is neither a hero nor villain and could probably be best characterized as an act of nature. He destroys planets, but not out of malice (though he is fickle). He more often than not hangs out with the heroes, but rarely does anything heroic.
Panini solved this by making him a Hero/Villain, but what about those who came after him? Hit is an assassin, but given all his actions in DBS would he be a villain? Same with the Pride Troopers or literally any participant of the Tournament of Power. They were all fighting for their lives and their worlds.
And then there’s Frieza…
Frieza also joined the heroes in the Tournament of Power, even going so far as to saving a few of his teammates (including Goku) and donating energy to a Spirit Bomb. So if this was a personality in the Retro DBZ TCG, would he be a Hero? Would he have “special rules”?
Not to be too spoilery, but even Broly and his allies in the Frieza Force would enter this weird not quite heroes, not quite villains gray area.
So if the Retro DBZ TCG were alive today, do you think it would be time to remove the Hero/Villain alignment? The series has gone on long enough where Frieza and Broly could potentially be heroes while Goku is fighting against the peace keeping force of another universe for survival. The age of Heroes and Villains are over.

This Game is far from Broken I tried my best with what I heard about the OCG trying fix masteries and sent funimation a email to remake the game and it happened. GT is my favorite until I have enough to cram 8000 more card powers in my memory and sit down and read and learn them panini I mean. Rules need to be checked like power up 5x a combat by 3 stages against gt mix. Skip phase. Play ally from hand drop card for non combat maybe 5x. Game. To be continued
