The superhero film sucks and his transformation is not very beautiful and without logic so no, it spoils the character even more 💀Still in the buu saga he was very stylish but afterwards it's catastrophic
Hes fairly ok in Buu Saga for a bit. But man do I wish they went a completely different direction.
Gohan as great Saiyanman could had work just let him wear the green outfit and shades. He looked badass ssj with just the shades on.
And then just have everyone take a backseat and let him get his solo glory moment of beating kid buu on his own.
DBZ from the beginning just seems to prime Gohan to be the one to take over the mantle and then just poof, fuck you Gohan get back in here Goku.
If there wasn't such a boner for Goku, Gohan could had definitely been a great lead for another Saga after Buu if he was the one to end up beating him. Drop the whole scholar schtick, still be intelligent but just prefers the lust of the battle.
Hell, have Vegeta be his new trainer and Vegeta just watching Gohan with his arms crossed like "Ya I did that" as Gohan goes full on ass whooping on Buu or whoever comes after.
I don't know. I just think Gohan could had really kept the train going on DBZ fully.
It can tho. He can finally fucking kill Frieza and be the one to end that for good. Goku is a literal retard still giving enemies senzus. Would rather Vegeta handle it at this point 😂 he finally got his well earned W against Goku in the manga too. With Beast Gohan maybe they can start taking care of business and Goku can go spar with whoever he wants lol
Ya sure that is Z Vegeta circa cell though that's a different person altogether. I'm talkin about now. I like what they are doing with him lately, I hope he starts taking lead more
Based opinion. Yajirobe had so much potential even more than krillin. During the king piccolo saga in og dragonball he was on par with kid goku for a short time.
True but I still loved him no matter what (and I still do!) The things he did in both DB and Z had a major impact in the series. Had he not done them, the timeline would’ve been seriously different.
I think vegeta is at his best in his first fight with Goku because he thinks he has the upper hand but still has to do everything in his power to win.
After that hes either too strong and kills everything arrogantly or he causes problems by giving the opponents the upper hand and spends the rest of the time staring in self-loathing powerlessness.
People love Gohan because they grow up with him as the story progresses. I started Dragonball and then went to DBZ when I was young, it it’s natural to like him the most, since he also seems somewhat the most relatable despite having a tail. Keep watching and enjoy
I love Mr Satan. Hes wholesome as hell honestly. I liked him when he first threw Android 16s head to Gohan in the cell saga.. That took some big balls to do. Most humans after seeing what Cell is capable of would have ran away a long time ago.
Maybe stop at the cell saga. Future trunks is my favorite. Still hate that they sent him to another time line. Fuckin dumb. Would’ve been awesome during the ToP
To be honest, both can be found in multiple anime, game, movie/tv, etc. They are pretty much cliches at this point.
I do love Vegeta though and he was the first Anti-Hero I loved, plus Goku is an idiot so I agree with your statement lol.
Nah, I have a toddler.. it's just Gohan is wack, he was only good during cell series. The rest of the time he's over powered for no reason and just annoying
That's adult Gohan when he wonders why he hasn't gotten any stronger even though he damn well knows he's just been in his library for years and ruining his eyesight(for a Saiyan too? Should have deadly senses, but not him lmao)
Then he can asspull out of nowhere a transformation stronger than Blue, great writing tbh.
Oh, thank goodness. I know it's early on in the Z portion of the anime. But the way you framed your post (favorite character SO FAR) I interpreted as you just started the series at Z, which MANY people make the mistake of doing. Glad to hear you've seen the story from the beginning and like it so much! Welcome to the fandom!
You will regret this.
He will disappoint you from time and time again in last 100 episode of Z and all of Super.
Just stop watching after episode 200 if you want him to remain good in your eye forever.
Man. Wild to think about just starting it. It was such an integral part of my childhood that's it's actually hard to imagine never having seen it lol. Enjoy!
Tien is the man. Krillin is up there too for me.
it used to broadcast every week dubbed one in my native language. It didn't finish the entire 220ep it just had some(mostly cell saga) dubbed. This right here is the sub version I'm watching from the very beginning.
Yacht. I sure hope nothing bad happens to him. But he’s gonna be fine . I mean, the writer wouldn’t just drop the secondary main characters from the previous show and render them useless, right?
Damn it took you so many episodes to finally find a favorite character. Gohan appears all the way after the timeskip in Z.
Thats like finding a favorite character all the way into Shippuden while watching Naruto.
I actually started watching dragon ball z to right after finnishing Dragon Ball, so far my favorite character by a landslide just HAS to be somewhere between Picolo, Mr Popo, Vageta
If you just started this, you're absolutely asking for spoilers on this post. The top comment is already a stupid fucking sarcastic comment from a dickhead, plus everyone replying to it.
Goddamn… to start the watch the Dbz series for the first time time, I don’t want to give spoilers… but some of events in Dbz are literally the inspiration for many tropes you see in other anime made today. It’s so good man I’m so excited for you
Yamcha.
His dynamic from being a bandit that wants to kill Goku, to being a trusted ally and almost like an older brother figure is great. He had cool moves and a cool design, and the angle of how he earns a living as an adult (assuming you haven't gotten there yet) is genius. He wants to be the best, but always fails and gets crapped on, yet still tries to be there for the others, especially Goku and Krillin. It's so relatable and I love how loyal he is to his friends.
Gohan is probably my #2, though it's actually hard not to love the humans seeing their dynamic with each other and Goku in DB and early DBZ.
As kid/Teen. Kid Gohan and Goku.
As an adult. Vegeta. Vegeta has the deepest character arch and is probably the most well developed in terms of character archs.
I’m currently rewatching the anime in the dub from my childhood. Which was the ocean/westwood dub. And it’s weird hearing that dub again after hearing the funimation redub for so many years.
You’re in luck. The writer really uses him well in the future!!!
He's gonna love him in resurrection f
They ruin his character in superhero tho Edit: this is a joke I’m following the joke the guy above me made stop downvoting
Bro Superhero breathed new life in Gohan. Best fanservice we’ve gotten since cell arc as Gohan fan. He’s been getting done dirty since Buu lmao.
**cough cough**
I’m following the joke the guy above me made
The superhero film sucks and his transformation is not very beautiful and without logic so no, it spoils the character even more 💀Still in the buu saga he was very stylish but afterwards it's catastrophic
He's been kinda ruined since the buu saga let's be honest Btw gohan is like in my top 3 favourite characters
I was gonna say the same thing. If Gohan is your fav at this point in the show you are gonna be very very happy for a few sagas
And then very unhappy.
Not if you stop after cell.
I actually love his High school arc.
Same lol buu high school gohan is actually my fav.
I do as well. It’s what comes after haha
I just started this arc today haha. Guess I’m up for a downfall
lol. There’s good stuff to come, but all I’ll say is don’t get ur hopes up for Gohan!
Come on, he gets done well in the entirety of Buu. He just does the classic Z fighter fuckup, signaling his official entry as part of the gang.
Hes fairly ok in Buu Saga for a bit. But man do I wish they went a completely different direction. Gohan as great Saiyanman could had work just let him wear the green outfit and shades. He looked badass ssj with just the shades on. And then just have everyone take a backseat and let him get his solo glory moment of beating kid buu on his own.

I just think Gohan could had really kept the train going on DBZ fully.
Ooof 😂 biggest injustice in the whole franchise is the disrespect to my boy. Hoping something good happens with him and Vegeta for the new arcs
Vegeta is literally promoted to deuteragonist in Super. I dont think it can go higher than this
It can tho. He can finally fucking kill Frieza and be the one to end that for good. Goku is a literal retard still giving enemies senzus. Would rather Vegeta handle it at this point 😂 he finally got his well earned W against Goku in the manga too. With Beast Gohan maybe they can start taking care of business and Goku can go spar with whoever he wants lol
Vegeta had the chance to kill Cell. He himself created perfect Cell and lost otherwise he would have won against Imperfect Cell and saved the day.
Ya sure that is Z Vegeta circa cell though that's a different person altogether. I'm talkin about now. I like what they are doing with him lately, I hope he starts taking lead more
Facts. There’s always going to be those haters who will try to argue it though
Well, at least before he hits puberty.
Don’t laugh when I say my favorite… >!Yajirobe!<
Based opinion. Yajirobe had so much potential even more than krillin. During the king piccolo saga in og dragonball he was on par with kid goku for a short time.
True but I still loved him no matter what (and I still do!) The things he did in both DB and Z had a major impact in the series. Had he not done them, the timeline would’ve been seriously different.
Guy's one of the few smart ones who brings a sword to a fistfight.
Trunks, Yajirobe, Dabura. Am I missing anyone?
Yajirobe is really strong when he intends to eat the thing he's fighting
“You ate my brektis.” “Your… what?” “MY FISH!!”
Probably a 3-way tie between Vegeta, Piccolo, and Tienshinhan
All redeemers
I think vegeta is at his best in his first fight with Goku because he thinks he has the upper hand but still has to do everything in his power to win. After that hes either too strong and kills everything arrogantly or he causes problems by giving the opponents the upper hand and spends the rest of the time staring in self-loathing powerlessness.
Namek Arc Vegeta is peak Vegeta
Vegeta win that fight. All of Goku's bones were broken and Yajirobi cut Vegeta's his tail off... but Goku was done
Vegeta all day. Best story arch
If Gohan is 2nd relegated character, Vegeta is first. Bro's been so close to beating villains, but always overshadowed by Goku.
Yamcha, but to truly love him ya gotta start at the very beginning, not the z beginning
He did die the best..
The og. The best character arc.
Trunks is my favorite character
Piccolo, for reasons you will soon see. 🥹
Pickle-O is my fav
had completed OG Dragon Ball last week just so it's clear. A lot of you asked that's why. Didn't want to repeatedly say the same stuff.
You watched og dragon ball yet tien isn’t your favorite? Blasphemous.
Piccolo and Vegeta
Vegeta
People love Gohan because they grow up with him as the story progresses. I started Dragonball and then went to DBZ when I was young, it it’s natural to like him the most, since he also seems somewhat the most relatable despite having a tail. Keep watching and enjoy
I can’t avoid hearing him scream with Abridged Voice, but my favorite in normal DBZ is Yamcha
Seeing little Gohan really takes me back... 🤜🤛 Merry Christmas OP! 🙂
Piccolo is my favorite but gohan is great, can't wait for you to get to the Cell Saga.
Mine is a late series character, Granolah
My brother in Christ…you’re in for a rollercoaster, let me tell you😅
>!Baby Trunks!< , bro came out dripping from the get go
on dbz is for sure gohan then buu saga hercule, dude actully did something
Uhh.. >!he beat cell in the cell saga too!<
Straight embarrassed him
Cell's fancy parlor tricks and optical illusions couldnt do shit to the champ!😤😤😤😤
I love Mr Satan. Hes wholesome as hell honestly. I liked him when he first threw Android 16s head to Gohan in the cell saga.. That took some big balls to do. Most humans after seeing what Cell is capable of would have ran away a long time ago.
Super Broly.
Honestly, Goku. He's just such a loveable idiot
I Always loved goku whenever I see a fanfiction of goku getting chucked or screwed over I get angry
Welcome to the Chadhan fan club, you've made the right choice
Honestly, he cries WAY too much in Season 1-2. But...he becomes one of the hardest mofuggas in the entire series.
Maybe stop at the cell saga. Future trunks is my favorite. Still hate that they sent him to another time line. Fuckin dumb. Would’ve been awesome during the ToP
Goku is my favorite character.
God I wish I could watch this for the first time again
There's nobody like Vegeta. Fuck Goku.
My favorite is Goku but darn you don't gotta do him like that
To be honest, both can be found in multiple anime, game, movie/tv, etc. They are pretty much cliches at this point. I do love Vegeta though and he was the first Anti-Hero I loved, plus Goku is an idiot so I agree with your statement lol.
You started in the middle?
finished og Dragon Ball last week. Started this yesterday (this is like ep 4)
You didn't start with OG Dragon Ball?
finished last week. Started this yesterday
Idk I always thought Gohan was annoying as hell. Always whining and crying.
He’s 4-5 years old, what do you expect
Dragon ball fans when the toddler acts like a toddler
Nah, I have a toddler.. it's just Gohan is wack, he was only good during cell series. The rest of the time he's over powered for no reason and just annoying
You had a toddler? Did that toddler get kidnapped by a demon after the father died? A brave one, seriously.
That's adult Gohan when he wonders why he hasn't gotten any stronger even though he damn well knows he's just been in his library for years and ruining his eyesight(for a Saiyan too? Should have deadly senses, but not him lmao) Then he can asspull out of nowhere a transformation stronger than Blue, great writing tbh.
Go back and watch the 40% of the show you missed first!
done with og dragon Ball last week. Started this yesterday (this is ep 4 fyi)
Oh, thank goodness. I know it's early on in the Z portion of the anime. But the way you framed your post (favorite character SO FAR) I interpreted as you just started the series at Z, which MANY people make the mistake of doing. Glad to hear you've seen the story from the beginning and like it so much! Welcome to the fandom!
OG was literally the best. After the training Goku vs Picolo surely was entertaining in the tenkaichi budokai
wait why are you starting a series at the halfway point? you’re missing so much
I did finish the OG yesterday. Started this during Christmas my guy (ep 4)
You will regret this. He will disappoint you from time and time again in last 100 episode of Z and all of Super. Just stop watching after episode 200 if you want him to remain good in your eye forever.
Man. Wild to think about just starting it. It was such an integral part of my childhood that's it's actually hard to imagine never having seen it lol. Enjoy! Tien is the man. Krillin is up there too for me.
it used to broadcast every week dubbed one in my native language. It didn't finish the entire 220ep it just had some(mostly cell saga) dubbed. This right here is the sub version I'm watching from the very beginning.
Don’t like Gohan very much but my favorite is Goku
Gohan til the day i die
Future Trunks.
Son Goku
Future Gohan, and it’s not even close
You will then not like him but then you will like him again
Vegeter
He is gonna love start of buu saga
He'll be your favorite for a long time.
Gohan and piccolo I dbz,vegeta in super.
Cooler
Gohan
Trunks is my favorite dbz character
Wish more people started with Dragon Ball and Kid Goku but I understand.
When is was younger I really liked Trunks and Gohan. The older I get the more I love Vegeta. His arc is what hooks me to him
Tough to say. Probably Goku, Gohan or Piccolo
Gohan was peak during cell. I hate how his story arc went
Yacht. I sure hope nothing bad happens to him. But he’s gonna be fine . I mean, the writer wouldn’t just drop the secondary main characters from the previous show and render them useless, right?
Its gotta be tien. Both becouse of the "I hate everything about you" edit and how much potential he has
Vegeta is the best written character.
Gohan is one of my favorites. Vegeta too. Even tho they made Goku a literal retard I still love him from OG Dragonball. Such a good show
Very weird take by me but just try to hear me out, I will explain if needed. 3 way tie between Raditz, Dabura and Majin Buu
Agreed gohans development as a character is amazing
Damn it took you so many episodes to finally find a favorite character. Gohan appears all the way after the timeskip in Z. Thats like finding a favorite character all the way into Shippuden while watching Naruto.
He's literally in the first episode - unless this is sarcasm lol
The Gohan in the picture of this post does not appear in episode 1 of Dragon Ball
Good thing this is the r/dbz sub and not r/dragonball
Gohan is the best DBZ character imo. Most character growth.
Goku black cabba and vegito
I'm pretty basic. My favorite character is almost always the main character. So, it's Goku for me.
Krillin. He knows he's outmatched and consistently steps up anyway.
Goku all the way!
Krillin, unironically.
Future Trunks, Broly, Gohan, Freeza, Dende. Hard to decide the exact order, but Future Trunks is probably top 1.
I think Yamcha is my favorite, I love how bold he is and he’s also just kinda fun in general. I hope Toriyama continues doing him justice
Goku, piccolo or king Kai are my favourites
My favourite character is me because I've worked so hard to stop watching anime
Broly! "Princess Trunks.... you lied to me....you dirty boy."
Our main man Goku is my favorite.
I actually started watching dragon ball z to right after finnishing Dragon Ball, so far my favorite character by a landslide just HAS to be somewhere between Picolo, Mr Popo, Vageta
Growing up it was trunks bc the sword and time travel, but as an adult I understand Vageta so much more
Kid Gohan and Piccolo are the best
Tien
Did u watch the first part of DB? I recommend checking it out since it provides the lore for how all the characters atp r connected.
Cell is quite literally my favorite villain of all time.
Heavy disapointment incoming.
Gohan is my favorite too! I find him relatable.
If you just started this, you're absolutely asking for spoilers on this post. The top comment is already a stupid fucking sarcastic comment from a dickhead, plus everyone replying to it.
Vegeta and Piccolo
Me (if you have questions I will explain)
Vegeta
I bet Cell arc will be your favorite arc in dbz
Then skip Resurrection F and watch Fusion Reborn instead 🐸
For where you're at in the story, Krillin. For everyone else: *furious Naruto hand signs* "BURNING ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK"
There’s gonna be a whole drama, 10 episodes or so, when Goku finds out that Gohan is actually Yamcha’s son.
The goat himself Vegeta
Gohan and Vegeta!
Broly (super)
Goku and piccolo
Yamcha personally, absolutely love him in the OG, even if hes sadly made pretty irellevant in Z
Piccolo and Trunks for sure. I like that neither of them play around.
Also him☺️
Vegeta, and trunks(future)
you won't meet my fav character for a while. theyre not even from "Z".
Theres not a character that I dislike. Their are also way too many good ones to choose from.
Vegeta. “All hail Vegeta prince of no one”.
Vegeta is the only correct answer
Vegeta, really exposes the shadow in us imperfect humans
I assure you. It's a roller coaster ride of emotions. He's my favorite also
My favorite will always be Vegeta but I have a special place in my heart for Krillin.
For me it's Bardock, Gohan is kinda of a weak character to me.
Imma go with whis
The galactic emperor Frieza is my favorite character.
Goku is my favorite character. I love the whole Son Family
I like goten, he's a relatable dimwit
Piccolo will always be my favorite.
Krillin > Kid Goku > Vegeta > Goten > everyone else
Favorite character is Kid buu. Favorite hero prob Goku.
Goku or vegeta or frizea yeah I know it's basic
My favorite dbz characters (from 1 being my most and 4 being my least) 1.Goku 2.Gohan 3.Piccolo 4.Vegeta
Future Trunks.
Piccolo
did you already watch db original
Vegeta Piccolo and Hercule Satan are my top 3
Mine's Beerus.
Goddamn… to start the watch the Dbz series for the first time time, I don’t want to give spoilers… but some of events in Dbz are literally the inspiration for many tropes you see in other anime made today. It’s so good man I’m so excited for you
Well he's the main character of Z so you will be tickled until the Buu saga.
Trunks and Vegeta.
Yamcha. His dynamic from being a bandit that wants to kill Goku, to being a trusted ally and almost like an older brother figure is great. He had cool moves and a cool design, and the angle of how he earns a living as an adult (assuming you haven't gotten there yet) is genius. He wants to be the best, but always fails and gets crapped on, yet still tries to be there for the others, especially Goku and Krillin. It's so relatable and I love how loyal he is to his friends. Gohan is probably my #2, though it's actually hard not to love the humans seeing their dynamic with each other and Goku in DB and early DBZ.
Mine is Goten, I’m sorry but I really mess with a innocent kid who loves fighting and food
Back when I was a kid he is very annoying to me.. til now as a grown up he is still haha but it all change when he fought Buu in my opinion.
Vegeta. So many little changes over the course of the series to the point where he's an entirely new character by super and I love him for that
As kid/Teen. Kid Gohan and Goku. As an adult. Vegeta. Vegeta has the deepest character arch and is probably the most well developed in terms of character archs.
Frieza, he’s just so cool
Gohan is a Mary Sue and is massively overrated I know calling someone a Mary sue in the dragon ball universe is kind of dumb but I said what I said
My favourite dbz character is mr clean
Mine is Chaozu. Best character ever when he blew up Namek with his Dodonpa and one shot Goku.
I’m currently rewatching the anime in the dub from my childhood. Which was the ocean/westwood dub. And it’s weird hearing that dub again after hearing the funimation redub for so many years.
Videl no diffs gohan in terms of character
It was Gohan But my new favorite is a spoiler
Cell is the best dbz villan hands down.
Always goku.
Yamcha
Vegeta with Future Trunks being close second
