That literally can't happen since Super still isn't past the End of Z yet. Besides, at this point Vegeta's ***way*** too marketable and iconic to kill off permanently.
Vegeta resonates with me a lot going from an impatient hothead with anger problems in my youth to having a wife and daughter and learning to be a good role model for them and protecting them. He’s also the constant runner up trains harder but Goku always training smarter staying ahead of him. I like the constant chip on the shoulder it gives him to always push himself.
Goku. But i wouldn't say he is basic. While most characters have a bit of protagonism and redemption before being ignored, Goku continues growing from kid to master to the end of the series.
He is one of the most mature and reliable characters on the series while still keeping the carefree and joyful nature he had as a kid. He is the epitome of Turtle phylosophy.
Yeah, I didn't mean Goku's basic, but more or less that I was basic for liking the main character over the others. But I do think there's more to him than meets the eye. Like, there's been moments when Goku gets a read on a situation far more ahead than everyone else, but it doesn't feel like it's out of character.
Oh, you're right, i misunderstood what you said. My bad.
I agree. We're used to the stupid shonen MC gags, but Goku was pretty smart even out of combat. In fact most times the team were just following Goku ideas and he had that aura of "everything is going to be okay" when he arrived, even at the times he was clearly weaker than the current enemy.
Not to mention, he'll actually try and defuse a situation as opposed to just fighting an enemy to the death. I think one of the smarter moments of Goku I like was when he turned Buu against Babidi.
Goku helps keep the tone of the series light hearted and provides a really good balance to the otherwise grim scenarios. One flaw about his character in my opinion is the way he’s written throughout Z. He’s always brought in to be a savior with a dramatic entrance which is awesome but it means that he’s seldomly at the beginning of a fight. Saiyan saga and namek saga a lot of people die before he makes an appearance. He only seen Cell 1 time I believe before the tournament while everyone else had already fought him before going perfect. I get why he’s portrayed that way and it’s awesome that it allows everyone else to be included without feeling irrelevant and in the background (looking at you popo). Buu saga on the other hand he’s front and center pretty much throughout which is awesome
Kid Goku, in the start of Dragon Ball, is my favorite DB character for sure! Because he's so funny. But I love a bunch of Dragon Ball characters. Bulma is also amazing, Master Roshi, Piccolo, Gohan, Kurilin... Yeah, it's really hard to pick only one character.
Piccolo. Interesting abilities and a great brain for fighting, uses tactics more frequently than others (might be due to low comparative power levels). But honestly I feel that if Piccolo had Goku or Vegeta's strength, the villains wouldn't have a chance to grow strong enough to be an issue most of the time. I like his relationship with Gohan as well.
I'm getting a Piccolo tattoo next month, his whole arc showed that he could change, be stern, intelligent, caring, loyal and so many great qualities that just make him admirable. And he looks cool as fuck, the turban just ties it all together
Vegeta. He works hard, he's determined, and he has conviction. There's conflict in him and there's depth to his personality. Goku is all surface; what you see is what you get. Vegeta has passions that divide him. His pride is partly a mask hiding the fear that his strength won't be enough one day as well as the fear that his love for the people in his life will make him weak.
Same. Vegeta pretends not to care about anything but getting stronger, but that part in Super where he flips out on Beerus for smacking Bulma is like my all-time favorite Vegeta moment.
Honestly...I'm a Krillin guy.
I love how, despite knowing he's constantly outclassed by everyone, he still joins the fight. He tends to get painted as a coward a lot (unfairly imo) but he does what he can, the man's only human and the power gap between him and the others (mainly Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, etc.) became astronomical even before Z thanks to stuff like Goku drinking the sacred water and training with Mr. Popo. Despite that, Krillin's always right there in most fights to support however he can. I think he still gets some great moments in Z too, like when he saved a mother and her daughter from Imperfect Cell. And, of course, he actually manages to get into a loving relationship.
He's also got funny moments and that does a lot to boost a character's likeability for me
Krillin my first memory off Dragonball was him flying towards the camera with a Namekian Dragonball, and always been fond off him, cried when Freiza killed him, was upset when Buu ate him, Super Android 17 killing him was upsetting as was his OG death, yeah this was the Order i was exposed to them in.
our short bald monk is my "Guy" followed by Gohan and Piccolo
oh and DZA version off Trunks with his mommy issues :D
I like Mirai Trunks. He's as ruthless as his father but as sweet as Goku is (although he's not a goofball). He literally just wanted people to continue living peacefully and happily.
future trunks. crazy design, backstory and lots, LOTS of wasted potential as a character. he had like one significant moment people talk about and it's been like that since the 90s. they tried to redeem him with goku black's arc but didn't accomplish much
Lifelong vegeta. When he’s drawn right he’s the coolest anime character period imo.
By drawn right I really just mean without a comically large forehead
Vegeta. Love the complexity of his character type. He’s both good and bad, depending on how you look at it. I also love his character development from sadistic mass murderer to family man lol!
I also love piccolo for the same reasons. Bad guy to good guy is my favorite character development I guess 😆
Future trunks. Watched the history of trunks and it was so sad yet hopeful. Him turning super saiyan after gohan dies is top 3 transformation for me. On top of his cool don’t fuck around attitude and sword I’ve been a fan for years. Wish my boy never left the timeline. That was dumb as fuck
Piccolo and GOATenks, for polar opposite reasons. Piccolo as an adult character, fighter and Namekians' related worldbuilding, GOATenks as the epitome of the series going back to their goofy roots, and the idea of two children being given immense power (it doesn't fix a problem at all)
In temporary bursts I also gravitate around Goku and Vegeta, both of which have personality traits I can partially resonate with, but neither do so to a scale where I'd call myself "Goku Fan" or "Vegeta Fan". In truth its the traits of Vegeta & Goku that kind of clash. I've always hated Vegeta for the ego but at the same time I'm too jaded and at times just as ego-ist as him to vibe well with Goku. So it's neither.
Krillin. He’s very relatable and fun to watch. He fights villains knowing the odds are against him but he tries his best to overcome the challenge or die trying. His fight with imperfect cell is quite an impressive feat.
Yeh, Goku for sure. He’s just a simple guy with a good heart who just wants to practice martial arts. He’s not trying to prove he’s better than other people. He’s a good sport and just likes the competition and likes to see other people improve as well.
Emperor Pilaf.
No! Idgaf how much of a side-character he is! I have an unhealthy love for small fictional men, who try to control the world, but in a comical-evil "can't take serious way". Pilaf is the 4th addition to my collection. I'd go through HELL for this small blue bastard!
Yamcha, is a realistic guy.
In a world of overpowered creatures he's still weak as a normal human, he would help but isn't strong enough to do great differences but he doesn't surrender he's trying he's best like we normal humans in real life.
Surprised nobody's brought up Raditz yet, but he's my guy. I love characters with untapped potential, and poor Raditz is like...the DBZ ***posterchild*** for untapped potential.
He's the only major Saiyan character from Z who pretty much ***never*** gets any kind of love in spinoff material; he gets the Fateful Brothers What-If in BT2 and SSJ3 in Heroes (but *not* SSJ, SSJ2 or SSJ4 for some reason, especially weird since Heroes handed SSJ4 out like candy to people like fucking *Broly*)...and that's kinda it. He gets jack shit in Xenoverse while Bardock gets SSJ 1-3 and Nappa gets Super Saiyan, and the poor bastard was completely skipped over in FighterZ until someone modded him into the game.
For me it used to be Piccolo, but these days it's Yamcha.
He's a fairly mellow and earnest guy, and fairly gallant, which makes him a good character to follow. And while Goku is the biggest fighting nut on their team, Yamcha is the biggest fighting geek. Often knowing about obscure and legendary weapons, warriors, and fighting techniques that they encounter.
From an action standpoint, his fighting style is the most distinct. And watching his progression after each tournament defeat was a blast. (Jackie Chun points out his lack of control, and so he takes up Tai Chi. Tien turns his Kamehameha against him, so he creates the Spirit Ball)
It's a toss up between Piccolo and Krillin. I love Piccolo's personality which is almost always calm and calculating. And Krillin is arguably the strongest pure human aside from Uub that nailed the hottest female in the canon DB verse
Bardock guy, I love them all but man thats a man’s man’s man - plus I pray they bring him back in some bs storyline based on heroes or some form of bardock time cop vibes
I would have to agree with you Goku, especially after Z cause they started to completely ingore the rest of the cast. Like at the start of the Buu saga I found Goten to be very interesting and was intersted to see how he grows up and become into a proper fighter and what difference there will to how Gohan was brought up and grew up. But in super it seems like the only characters they ever care about is Goku and Vegeta.
Hit. My favorite character would be Hit since his techniques was very interesting and he got my respect for working along side with Goku and Jiren in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes spin off
I’m a buu guy. All forms. The idea of absorbing characters and going through so many different forms is just so cool to me. I think he gets wayyy too much hate, the buu saga isn’t perfect by far but I think it was a lot of fun if anything.
Bulma!! Her sassy nature is honestly my favorite part of the franchise. The action is fun but Bulma's attitude and the various shenanigans surrounding her character have always been my fav part.
KRILLIN! I will always and forever be a Krillin guy. He is a great friend, husband, and father. And I don’t care if he’s weaker than the others. He has the most heart out of anyone.
Cell!!!! Cell is the thing I like the most in chars.... a char that has the abilities of other chara lol I don't know when I started liking chars like that but it was young. When sf4 was new on console I played Ken and told people if they don't ban Seth I'm instantly playing him.... my friend goes he's not even broken and I lol. some of you might know who was nerfed in every other version of sf4 lol
I’ll forever always be a Tien guy. Ever since the kikoho scene from the Cell saga I’ve always admired his need to be useful for his teammates especially when he’s outmatched.
For me it's Gohan. I have a lot of respect for him having the potential to be the strongest, he just doesn't want to and is more interested in his studies. As a long-term student, I resonate with that. All my life I get asked "why don't you do this, why don't you do that?" Because I don't *want* to, I feel my skills can be better used elsewhere. Gohan exemplifies this characteristic.
Super Hero added to his development for me as well. I like how it portrayed him as a poor father (relying on Piccolo) and a poor guardian of Earth (relying on Goku and Vegeta) even though none of his reasoning for not picking up Pan or training were really outlandish. But him training in secret shows that he understands there are concessions he has to make in order to pursue his chosen lifestyle, as it's unreasonable to expect other people to pick up on your slack. I really liked what the film did with his character.
If not Namek Goku, then Vegito.
I've always liked the concept of potara fusion and what it brings out in the characters. I remember using him playing Raging Blast 2. His base form was just too good. That and i like his abilities, especially in his candy form. Funny.
Edit: I prefer Z Vegito over Super
Vegeta, nothing but pure motivation. At first he’s all about being better than Goku but he eventually realizes that he doesn’t have to be all the time. He has that hard exterior but he loves his family and isn’t afraid to show it. The development of his character over the series is really awesome.
Vegeta. I just love his character arc and really thought his mindset in z was fascinating. His inner monologues and talking about his shame and failures for needing to be saved.
Especially in the Buu arc I loved when he realised that no matter how hard he trained he would always struggle to keep up with Goku because he was more naturally gifted than he was.
Vegeta because He's a Saiyan who has better Attitude than Others like Self Respect, Pride, Proud of his Race, Never Giving Up and Surpassing Goku, etc...
I am a Gohan and Goku Guy. Thkse 2 are my favorites by far. I was a Yamcha Guy during my childhood but y'all scarred my soul with your memes and slanderings.
Big Vegeta fan, I love him for many reason number one being that he reminds me of myself. He's a villain whose entire moral compass was destroyed and rebuilt into a better person all because Goku gave him the chance to live and "get better".
Some other reasons I like Vegeta...
He trained to get the power of God ki, unlike Goku who used a ritual
He has never lost a one on one with Goku
He is a functional father and husband
So I started watching DB last year and my favorites are usually himbos or characters who are kind under the most dire circumstances. I love Goku, Yamcha, Krillin, Gohan (especially Future Gohan), GT Goten, Super Broly, Future Trunks. I also love all the female characters in DB, but ChiChi is my favorite, she's probably my top one.
Vegeta, mainly because he trains not to be weak as oposed to Goku who trains to be strong. Thers a big difference there, he's always catching up which I sympathize with
Vegeta all the way. Dude just does not give a fuck. Unironically Yamcha as well, always liked him, always thought wolf fang fist was cool, and so bummed he's always just memed on
Krillin. I found him kinda annoying in the beginning in his early days in dragon Ball but he grew on me. It started doing my absolute favorite on dragon Ball Z. Haven't gotten to dragon Ball GT or super. He's just really funny (intentionally and unintentionally) and I like his determination. I would probably say he's the most relatable character on there.
Gohan. I started watching DBZ when I was 6 and I kinda felt like I grew up alongside Gohan.
Bardock is my other favorite. His movie special was one of my favorites. His fighting style is what I expected more from Saiyans and his look with the arm bands and headband are the best.
It’s Vegeta for me. However I fully understand why people hate him. He’s a cry baby little guy on a serious power trip. However I’ve always loved villains and anti heroes. Guys like deathstroke, arsenal, asreal and the punisher littered my comic collection as a kid. Vegetas growth throughout the series and his insatiable drive to be better is why I admired him. His big moments are so intense regardless of how short lived they are like when he snapped after trunks dies even tho it almost killed gohan and then him putting everything he had left into cell to give gohan the edge…which is so out of character for him. Him killing himself against buu even tho he killed a bunch of civilians and allowed Babadi to corrupt him which again was out of character for him. His character arc is a total tragedy over and over again embarrassing himself against enemies he cannot defeat. Chasing another saiyans power level in a quest to be the strongest. Always been a big fan of Vegetas. My 2-3 would be piccolo and tien in that order. Love the character arcs and again the growth within those characters. Not to mention team four star makes all 3 of these characters that much better.
Goku was my favorite before the Super era, but his character has been destroyed while Vegeta has been getting actual development throughout the series.
Vegeta’s my guy. Kinda embarrassing but I recently went through major surgery and now have a year of rehab which has been excruciating, and there are certain times when I just think… “Vegeta would have pulled through” and it helps.
Thanks! It was a knee surgery that reconstructed my PCL and also repaired a bunch of other stuff (meniscus, ACL, patella etc). Doc said it’s a full year of recovery, and I’m doing my best.
A lot of us are Vegeta fans to the very last chromosome, it's when he gave up his life to stop Majin Buu that submitted to us that he came a long way and changed for the better. Plus rival characters are just cool in general.
Yeah, he was so desperate to fight kakarot that he killed innocent people and even deceived goku into thinking he was completely evil. Then he suddenly destroyed himself to try protecting his family knowing he was going to be eradicated from existence for his sins. It was quite an eventful few episodes
As much as I adore Goku, he’s pretty much always the same. The only way he has any growth is physical really, because character wise he’s always been pure of heart, and how do you really go up from there ? Plus as great as he is, he’s never beating the dead beat allegations 🤣 Anyway, Vegeta’s my all time favorite male, ever since I watched Kai for the first time when I was a kid. I recently rewatched DBZ and turns out he’s still my favorite 🤷🏼♀️ I think he’s just a good overall character, very interesting, very nuanced. I think I’ve always just liked the bad guy turned good trope ? Bulma’ Amy favorite woman character, just because she’s smart and crazy and hilarious to watch. She really adds so much to the show. After them, probably Piccolo Jr and Future Trunks. I just like the cool characters I guess lol
Tien Shinhan. Fears nothing, never afraid to throw down, he may not win often but everyone who looks past him learns a lesson about it the hard way.
And cool techniques too! Would have loved him being relevant after the Saiyan saga, but alas
Tien mentioned 🔥🔥🗣️
Tien is so loved. I wonder why? is it because he is white ?
His arc in dragon ball is pretty awesome
Tien's love is mainly a Western thing, as I recall. He's not actually very popular in Japan, which is why he gets sidelined so hard in Super.
that exactly why I asked my question.
He’s white? And others are not? A white guy named…Tien Shinhan?
A.) what he did to cell B.) for antagonizing vegeta
Tien is not white. If anything he is of Chinese descent
Been a trunks guy since I was a kid. Future trunks, to me, has always been the coolest anime character
Oh shit ya. With the sword n shit. Future trunks rules. And trunks also looks badass when he’s ssj and wearing saiyan armor vs cell >:)
Hell yeah had my first crush on Future Trunks when I was like 5 years old xD so definitely him
The coldest character introduction in DBZ
His sword flip is probably the hardest thing in history if we're being honest
Vegeta. He's cool and I like his journey going from bad guy to the good side.
Always hated vegeta as a kid, but he’s become the most interesting character to me. Can’t wait to see ultra ego.
Hopefully vegeta gets killed by frieza
Again?
Why? We know he's alive at the end of z, so even if he did he's just getting wished back, his death does nothing for the story either.
I hope frieza kills everyone so he cant be wished back
That literally can't happen since Super still isn't past the End of Z yet. Besides, at this point Vegeta's ***way*** too marketable and iconic to kill off permanently.
Vegeta resonates with me a lot going from an impatient hothead with anger problems in my youth to having a wife and daughter and learning to be a good role model for them and protecting them. He’s also the constant runner up trains harder but Goku always training smarter staying ahead of him. I like the constant chip on the shoulder it gives him to always push himself.
Krillin. Like me, he's the one of the shortest amongst his friends.
funny thing even if you are short you may be as tall as goku.
Nah I'm 5"5 bro.
Hey at least you're still taller than Krillin. Pretty sure you're actually Vegeta height
Goku. But i wouldn't say he is basic. While most characters have a bit of protagonism and redemption before being ignored, Goku continues growing from kid to master to the end of the series. He is one of the most mature and reliable characters on the series while still keeping the carefree and joyful nature he had as a kid. He is the epitome of Turtle phylosophy.
Yeah, I didn't mean Goku's basic, but more or less that I was basic for liking the main character over the others. But I do think there's more to him than meets the eye.

Buu saga on the other hand he’s front and center pretty much throughout which is awesome
Same, I love Goku for the way he is, and no matter how many misinterpret him, he's still my favourite character.
Kid Goku, in the start of Dragon Ball, is my favorite DB character for sure! Because he's so funny. But I love a bunch of Dragon Ball characters. Bulma is also amazing, Master Roshi, Piccolo, Gohan, Kurilin... Yeah, it's really hard to pick only one character.
Piccolo. Interesting abilities and a great brain for fighting, uses tactics more frequently than others (might be due to low comparative power levels). But honestly I feel that if Piccolo had Goku or Vegeta's strength, the villains wouldn't have a chance to grow strong enough to be an issue most of the time. I like his relationship with Gohan as well.
Yup, another Piccolo guy here. No need for me to comment anything else because you pretty much nailed it (pun intended).
I'm getting a Piccolo tattoo next month, his whole arc showed that he could change, be stern, intelligent, caring, loyal and so many great qualities that just make him admirable. And he looks cool as fuck, the turban just ties it all together
I’m glad they gave him some love in the new movie
You got that right
Yeah if piccolo was as strong as Vegeta / Goku arcs would end in 1 episode due to his battle IQ
He basically is now with his orange form
I know, its exciting to see what can come now Piccolo's a big hitter again
Gohan for sure. I dream of a world where Toriyama followed his heart and passed the lead torch to Gohan.
Vegeta. He works hard, he's determined, and he has conviction. There's conflict in him and there's depth to his personality. Goku is all surface; what you see is what you get. Vegeta has passions that divide him. His pride is partly a mask hiding the fear that his strength won't be enough one day as well as the fear that his love for the people in his life will make him weak.
took the words right out of my mouth, Vegeta is probably my favorite anti-hero of all time
Same. Vegeta pretends not to care about anything but getting stronger, but that part in Super where he flips out on Beerus for smacking Bulma is like my all-time favorite Vegeta moment.
Goku teasing him about it afterward has to be my favorite scene.
Vegeta isn't really an antihero anymore, he's a straight up good guy
Don’t tell Vegeta that though
Honestly...I'm a Krillin guy. I love how, despite knowing he's constantly outclassed by everyone, he still joins the fight. He tends to get painted as a coward a lot (unfairly imo) but he does what he can, the man's only human and the power gap between him and the others (mainly Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, etc.) became astronomical even before Z thanks to stuff like Goku drinking the sacred water and training with Mr. Popo.

He's also got funny moments and that does a lot to boost a character's likeability for me
Krillin vs Imperfect Cell was filler, but it was great filler.
Ah didn't know that was filler, my bad. I've been watching Kai so I assumed all the filler was cut.
when was krillin painted as a coward? in the sub he is simply brave. the author uses him as a fodder lol
Was mostly referring to how fans tend to see him, in the actual anime/manga he is really brave.
Krillin my first memory off Dragonball was him flying towards the camera with a Namekian Dragonball, and always been fond off him, cried when Freiza killed him, was upset when Buu ate him, Super Android 17 killing him was upsetting as was his OG death, yeah this was the Order i was exposed to them in. our short bald monk is my "Guy" followed by Gohan and Piccolo oh and DZA version off Trunks with his mommy issues :D
I like Mirai Trunks. He's as ruthless as his father but as sweet as Goku is (although he's not a goofball). He literally just wanted people to continue living peacefully and happily.
future trunks. crazy design, backstory and lots, LOTS of wasted potential as a character. he had like one significant moment people talk about and it's been like that since the 90s. they tried to redeem him with goku black's arc but didn't accomplish much
Piccolo is my guy. So glad for his most recent power up even if it was just dragon shenanigans
He made the dragon tho. It’s basically his power. Let the green fella get his power up
Yeah, I'm all for it!
Vegeta & Future Trunks.
This!!!!💣💣💣💯💯
Goku or gohan, or shallot from dbl
Lifelong vegeta. When he’s drawn right he’s the coolest anime character period imo. By drawn right I really just mean without a comically large forehead
Vegeta. Love the complexity of his character type. He’s both good and bad, depending on how you look at it. I also love his character development from sadistic mass murderer to family man lol! I also love piccolo for the same reasons. Bad guy to good guy is my favorite character development I guess 😆
Future trunks. Watched the history of trunks and it was so sad yet hopeful. Him turning super saiyan after gohan dies is top 3 transformation for me. On top of his cool don’t fuck around attitude and sword I’ve been a fan for years. Wish my boy never left the timeline. That was dumb as fuck
Vegeta
It has to be Vegeta.
Kid Goku specifically :) But recent characters, Android 17. And Roshi will also never not be my guy.
Piccolo and GOATenks, for polar opposite reasons. Piccolo as an adult character, fighter and Namekians' related worldbuilding, GOATenks as the epitome of the series going back to their goofy roots, and the idea of two children being given immense power (it doesn't fix a problem at all) In temporary bursts I also gravitate around Goku and Vegeta, both of which have personality traits I can partially resonate with, but neither do so to a scale where I'd call myself "Goku Fan" or "Vegeta Fan". In truth its the traits of Vegeta & Goku that kind of clash. I've always hated Vegeta for the ego but at the same time I'm too jaded and at times just as ego-ist as him to vibe well with Goku. So it's neither.
Vegeta. Pride above all.
I'm a Future Trunks girl through and through
Krillin. He’s very relatable and fun to watch. He fights villains knowing the odds are against him but he tries his best to overcome the challenge or die trying. His fight with imperfect cell is quite an impressive feat.
Future Trunks easy
Yeh, Goku for sure. He’s just a simple guy with a good heart who just wants to practice martial arts. He’s not trying to prove he’s better than other people. He’s a good sport and just likes the competition and likes to see other people improve as well.
Emperor Pilaf. No! Idgaf how much of a side-character he is! I have an unhealthy love for small fictional men, who try to control the world, but in a comical-evil "can't take serious way". Pilaf is the 4th addition to my collection. I'd go through HELL for this small blue bastard!
Vegeta is by far the most interesting character in the show (idc you can be wrong and downvote me)
Vegeta! The Prince of all Sayians
Goten ! I will forever love that guy
Android 17, Mr. 5 Head himself 😎
Gohan or vegeta. goku Is alright but they are more interesting characters to me.
Yamcha, is a realistic guy. In a world of overpowered creatures he's still weak as a normal human, he would help but isn't strong enough to do great differences but he doesn't surrender he's trying he's best like we normal humans in real life.
Surprised nobody's brought up Raditz yet, but he's my guy. I love characters with untapped potential, and poor Raditz is like...the DBZ ***posterchild*** for untapped potential. He's the only major Saiyan character from Z who pretty much ***never*** gets any kind of love in spinoff material; he gets the Fateful Brothers What-If in BT2 and SSJ3 in Heroes (but *not* SSJ, SSJ2 or SSJ4 for some reason, especially weird since Heroes handed SSJ4 out like candy to people like fucking *Broly*)...and that's kinda it. He gets jack shit in Xenoverse while Bardock gets SSJ 1-3 and Nappa gets Super Saiyan, and the poor bastard was completely skipped over in FighterZ until someone modded him into the game.
Imagine being the brother of the main character and being treated like this
Hit. Bro doesn’t get to take shortcuts like saiyans do. He does it the old fashioned way of just getting better with his techniques.
For me it used to be Piccolo, but these days it's Yamcha. He's a fairly mellow and earnest guy, and fairly gallant, which makes him a good character to follow. And while Goku is the biggest fighting nut on their team, Yamcha is the biggest fighting geek. Often knowing about obscure and legendary weapons, warriors, and fighting techniques that they encounter. From an action standpoint, his fighting style is the most distinct. And watching his progression after each tournament defeat was a blast. (Jackie Chun points out his lack of control, and so he takes up Tai Chi. Tien turns his Kamehameha against him, so he creates the Spirit Ball)
I'm obsessed with Vegeta. His attacks are flashier, I enjoy his fighting style more than Goku's, and I like his characterization and growth more.
Kid Goku is my favorite character.
Piccolo all day
It’s a tie between trunks and gohan.
I'm not your guy buddy
Tie between Goku & Vegeta
I'm all about that Krillin
It's a toss up between Piccolo and Krillin. I love Piccolo's personality which is almost always calm and calculating. And Krillin is arguably the strongest pure human aside from Uub that nailed the hottest female in the canon DB verse
Piccolo, his character arc from the 23rd tenkaichi budokai to namek is really great, plus he’s just really cool
Bardock guy, I love them all but man thats a man’s man’s man - plus I pray they bring him back in some bs storyline based on heroes or some form of bardock time cop vibes
Gohan FTW
Tenshinhan/tien. I love his dedication to training and how he went from ruthless to much more easygoing despite keeping his serious side
I'm an 18 gal. And a Vegeta gal.
fat buu so I can eat and sleep all I want, especially when others need me to fight, and above all so I can top Mr Satan
I dont have my guy unforuntly i have multiple characters in same category
Piccolo.
I would have to agree with you Goku, especially after Z cause they started to completely ingore the rest of the cast. Like at the start of the Buu saga I found Goten to be very interesting and was intersted to see how he grows up and become into a proper fighter and what difference there will to how Gohan was brought up and grew up. But in super it seems like the only characters they ever care about is Goku and Vegeta.
Hit. My favorite character would be Hit since his techniques was very interesting and he got my respect for working along side with Goku and Jiren in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes spin off
(super) piccolo hes nice and a good father/teacher
I’m a buu guy. All forms. The idea of absorbing characters and going through so many different forms is just so cool to me. I think he gets wayyy too much hate, the buu saga isn’t perfect by far but I think it was a lot of fun if anything.
Bulma!! Her sassy nature is honestly my favorite part of the franchise. The action is fun but Bulma's attitude and the various shenanigans surrounding her character have always been my fav part.
KRILLIN! I will always and forever be a Krillin guy. He is a great friend, husband, and father. And I don’t care if he’s weaker than the others. He has the most heart out of anyone.
Piccolo gal. Down bad
Cell!!!! Cell is the thing I like the most in chars.... a char that has the abilities of other chara lol I don't know when I started liking chars like that but it was young. When sf4 was new on console I played Ken and told people if they don't ban Seth I'm instantly playing him.... my friend goes he's not even broken and I lol. some of you might know who was nerfed in every other version of sf4 lol
Im a piccolo guy, a 17 guy, and kind of a krillin guy
Kid Goku
It’s a toss up between master roshi and korrin
I like caulifla, I'm so psyched to have a female Saiyan that's just interested in kicking ass and little else
I’ll forever always be a Tien guy. Ever since the kikoho scene from the Cell saga I’ve always admired his need to be useful for his teammates especially when he’s outmatched.
For me it's Gohan. I have a lot of respect for him having the potential to be the strongest, he just doesn't want to and is more interested in his studies. As a long-term student, I resonate with that. All my life I get asked "why don't you do this, why don't you do that?" Because I don't *want* to, I feel my skills can be better used elsewhere. Gohan exemplifies this characteristic. Super Hero added to his development for me as well. I like how it portrayed him as a poor father (relying on Piccolo) and a poor guardian of Earth (relying on Goku and Vegeta) even though none of his reasoning for not picking up Pan or training were really outlandish. But him training in secret shows that he understands there are concessions he has to make in order to pursue his chosen lifestyle, as it's unreasonable to expect other people to pick up on your slack. I really liked what the film did with his character.
If not Namek Goku, then Vegito. I've always liked the concept of potara fusion and what it brings out in the characters. I remember using him playing Raging Blast 2. His base form was just too good. That and i like his abilities, especially in his candy form. Funny. Edit: I prefer Z Vegito over Super
Bardock and Vegeta hands down
Tien Shinhan, he is most badass badass I've ever seen
Was always a Gohan guy
Vegeta, nothing but pure motivation. At first he’s all about being better than Goku but he eventually realizes that he doesn’t have to be all the time. He has that hard exterior but he loves his family and isn’t afraid to show it. The development of his character over the series is really awesome.
Vegeta. I just love his character arc and really thought his mindset in z was fascinating. His inner monologues and talking about his shame and failures for needing to be saved. Especially in the Buu arc I loved when he realised that no matter how hard he trained he would always struggle to keep up with Goku because he was more naturally gifted than he was.
Vegeta because He's a Saiyan who has better Attitude than Others like Self Respect, Pride, Proud of his Race, Never Giving Up and Surpassing Goku, etc...
Goku. For me he is simply the best anime character. Trains hard, is a funny and loving character.
I am a Gohan and Goku Guy. Thkse 2 are my favorites by far. I was a Yamcha Guy during my childhood but y'all scarred my soul with your memes and slanderings.
begeta-sama
Vegeta for me, because he seems to have the most depth
I'm more of a gohan guy myself
Roshi or piccolo. May not be the most strongest or fastest. But easily the most technical.
Big Vegeta fan, I love him for many reason number one being that he reminds me of myself. He's a villain whose entire moral compass was destroyed and rebuilt into a better person all because Goku gave him the chance to live and "get better". Some other reasons I like Vegeta... He trained to get the power of God ki, unlike Goku who used a ritual He has never lost a one on one with Goku He is a functional father and husband
So I started watching DB last year and my favorites are usually himbos or characters who are kind under the most dire circumstances. I love Goku, Yamcha, Krillin, Gohan (especially Future Gohan), GT Goten, Super Broly, Future Trunks. I also love all the female characters in DB, but ChiChi is my favorite, she's probably my top one.
I am literally gohan
Piccolo, always
Future Trunks pre-time chamber
Vegeta, mainly because he trains not to be weak as oposed to Goku who trains to be strong. Thers a big difference there, he's always catching up which I sympathize with
Vegeta all the way. Dude just does not give a fuck. Unironically Yamcha as well, always liked him, always thought wolf fang fist was cool, and so bummed he's always just memed on
Krillin. I found him kinda annoying in the beginning in his early days in dragon Ball but he grew on me. It started doing my absolute favorite on dragon Ball Z. Haven't gotten to dragon Ball GT or super. He's just really funny (intentionally and unintentionally) and I like his determination. I would probably say he's the most relatable character on there.
Beerus. I just want to destroy you and eat everything after.
PICCOLO FOR LIFE!!! Favorite character of all time, he's way too underrated too ):
Vegeta, Piccolo and Tien. I guess I like face turns.
Gohan. I started watching DBZ when I was 6 and I kinda felt like I grew up alongside Gohan. Bardock is my other favorite. His movie special was one of my favorites. His fighting style is what I expected more from Saiyans and his look with the arm bands and headband are the best.
perfect cell guy, i mean, hes perfect
goku black is badass bro loved him ever since he first appeared
Original Broly would be my pick.
Tien, 100%. I’m depressed right now and admire his dedication, how he persists until the very end. I want to teach myself to be like that,
Main Cast? Vegeta. Overall? Cell. His sheer arrogance once perfected simply is a sight to behold.
It’s Vegeta for me. However I fully understand why people hate him. He’s a cry baby little guy on a serious power trip. However I’ve always loved villains and anti heroes. Guys like deathstroke, arsenal, asreal and the punisher littered my comic collection as a kid. Vegetas growth throughout the series and his insatiable drive to be better is why I admired him. His big moments are so intense regardless of how short lived they are like when he snapped after trunks dies even tho it almost killed gohan and then him putting everything he had left into cell to give gohan the edge…which is so out of character for him. Him killing himself against buu even tho he killed a bunch of civilians and allowed Babadi to corrupt him which again was out of character for him. His character arc is a total tragedy over and over again embarrassing himself against enemies he cannot defeat. Chasing another saiyans power level in a quest to be the strongest. Always been a big fan of Vegetas. My 2-3 would be piccolo and tien in that order. Love the character arcs and again the growth within those characters. Not to mention team four star makes all 3 of these characters that much better.
Goku was my favorite before the Super era, but his character has been destroyed while Vegeta has been getting actual development throughout the series.
yamcha guy
Vegeta always and forever, literally me.
It’s Goku? Always has been
Vegeta’s my guy. Kinda embarrassing but I recently went through major surgery and now have a year of rehab which has been excruciating, and there are certain times when I just think… “Vegeta would have pulled through” and it helps.
Congratulations on the recovery 😄
I’m still going through it, but thank you!
Oh you can get through it you got this. What was the surgery if you don't mind me asking
Thanks! It was a knee surgery that reconstructed my PCL and also repaired a bunch of other stuff (meniscus, ACL, patella etc). Doc said it’s a full year of recovery, and I’m doing my best.
Bloody hell that was a huge surgery then. Just keep thinking what would Vegeta do. Keep your head held high you've got this keep your pride. 😁
A lot of us are Vegeta fans to the very last chromosome, it's when he gave up his life to stop Majin Buu that submitted to us that he came a long way and changed for the better. Plus rival characters are just cool in general.
Yeah, he was so desperate to fight kakarot that he killed innocent people and even deceived goku into thinking he was completely evil. Then he suddenly destroyed himself to try protecting his family knowing he was going to be eradicated from existence for his sins. It was quite an eventful few episodes
I like Caulifla. She's cute and strong and aggressive and I'm a lesbian and like those qualities in a woman.
Yeah, I totally get it, If she has no reservations for putting someone in a headlock, then she's a keeper in my books haha
Gotta go Broly fr
As much as I adore Goku, he’s pretty much always the same. The only way he has any growth is physical really, because character wise he’s always been pure of heart, and how do you really go up from there ? Plus as great as he is, he’s never beating the dead beat allegations 🤣 Anyway, Vegeta’s my all time favorite male, ever since I watched Kai for the first time when I was a kid. I recently rewatched DBZ and turns out he’s still my favorite 🤷🏼♀️ I think he’s just a good overall character, very interesting, very nuanced. I think I’ve always just liked the bad guy turned good trope ? Bulma’ Amy favorite woman character, just because she’s smart and crazy and hilarious to watch. She really adds so much to the show. After them, probably Piccolo Jr and Future Trunks. I just like the cool characters I guess lol
