i'll give you examples.
1. Gantz: you never know who's gonna live in the next volume, so far at least a handful of 'main' charecters died without any agonizing death scenes, which ws really cool.
2. DB/Z: Toriyama kept changing the main charecters through the story, it sarted with Goku, Bulma and Krillin, and moved on to Tien, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegita, Trunks, 18, Goten, supreme Kai and so on. So it didn't have to come up with ridiculous ideas of powering up to keep the others at the same level of Goku, when people were deemed too weak to continue fighting for the sake of the universe, they simply stopped doing so and stayed in the background.
now, won't you think that Naruto traveling with Gaara and Neji would be a much more intresting team than Naruto traveling with Sakura and Kakashi?
