[@sweetandsourdish3723]

Bulma, Bulla, Goten, Trunks, Pan, and Mai. ❤️

[@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982]

My favorite characters are Goku, Chi Chi, Trunks, Piccolo, Bulma, Goten, Gohan, Frieza, Master Roshi, Android 17, Android 18, and so much more! These characters in Dragon Ball are so iconic.🤩

[@spencersawesomevideos7022]

Broly

[@DragoonZell]

Surprised you didn't add Vegito or Gogeta given they are right up there with the most popular characters. Sure they may be a fusion but they are different enough to count them.

[@tylermcbean273]

I can't believe akira toriyama hated vegeta even though he gave him one of the best character developments and plus he's hilarious

[@Jaxvidstar]

Gotta love his epic burns of other characters.

[@DragonHeart613]

Say What??? Toriyama actually hated Vegeta??? Are you serious???

[@kathrynhill5796]

Huh?! I didn’t know that Akira Toriyama hated one of the best characters he created! Vegeta is the absolute best despite the bad decision-makings he’s made in order to surpass Goku.

[@prowolf633]

He doesn’t! It’s only a rumor

[@gunavardhan3340]

Not hated, but his least favourite character he said

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

This December, the entire ‘Dragon Ball’ manga series written & illustrated by Akira Toriyama (RIP) will be turning 40

I'm glad WatchMojo left out Mr Popo, they must know the first rule of Popo's training....

[@g-burtfred1106]

Dont talk about Popo’s training?

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

Mr. Popo reminds me of Sebastian Cabot as French the butler on A FAMILY AFFAIR!

[@jameslahey2005]

This is really nice. Ever since the new game, not only has the gaming community blown up, but social media as well. So many things about dragon ball in the last 72 hours & its really cool to see so many people come together to enjoy something we have in common. This is great

[@djblue056]

Well said! I couldn’t have said it better myself! With One Piece and other anime just ballooning in popularity, it’s nice to see my favorite anime still close to the top after so many years!

[@Hogan231]

Akira Toriyama: The Greatest Warrior.

[@MrGeekFreek]

My man Krillin is number 1 to me. Hes been my favourite since I was a kid. Strongest human on Earth.

[@otislamar8613]

The androids are humans

[@Mechadroid209]

Agreed krillins my number 1 too he's my favorite character

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

He doesn't have Saiyan superpowers but in some ways he does more with less! He's a better husband and father than Goku and Vegeta. One thing I liked about the Frieza arc where they went to the planet Namek is that Krillin got to show his talent for leadership!

[@thedarkprince1987]

Yes, he is my favorite, too. Krillin got more women than Goku and Vegeta

[@gRubey]

Tien Shinhan

[@ziridestaudios]

I got to meet Chuck Huber (the voice of Android 17 and so many more) a couple sundays ago at the Sundial Bridge Comicon. Meeting him and getting an autograph from him was probably the biggest highlight of the whole thing, he was so nice

[@KnowledgeNation-vj2jk]

My top 20 1 Goku (It's Goku enough said) 2 Gohan (Awesome development, iconic moments, and Cell Saga SSJ2) 3 Vegeta (Crazy development and relentless great rival to goku) 4 Frieza (most iconic, vicious, and funny villain in dbz) 5 Piccilo (Mentor of Gohan, been a part of all the iconic moments in dbz. He is a core member of the team and always helps) 6 Bulma (Day 1 of the show always comes in clutch very important to the show) 7 Krillin (Strongest Earthling similar to Bulma comes in clutch and very important to the show just slightly less imo) 8 Trunks(Future Trunks is bad ass and stands on business, and kid Trunks brings Gotenks) 9 Master Roshi (Introduce the Kamehameha and was the first mentor of Goku other than Grandpa Gohan) 10 Bardock( Dad of goku and bad ass) 11 Chi Chi( Underrated but she is the mother of Gohan and goten she had some funny moments too) 12 Android 18 (dbz baddie and did vegeta dirty) 13 Android 17 (Does a lot in super) 14 Cell (iconic villian helped bring ssj2 gohan) 15 Broly ( Not much to it just a vicious powerful sayion villian turned good now) 16 Majin Buu( this includes all the buus but specifically Super buu and kid buu) 17 Goten (Second son of goku cool not much to it) 18 Tien (just a cool character goten and tien can swap they are similar) 19 King Kai( Underrated best Kai and taught goku a lot) 20 Beerus (not a huge fan but he alright)

[@Ranger_of_Dragons]

Vegeta is my all-time favorite fictional character! I watch videos of him refusing to give up for motivation.

[@TheShelbySarah964]

No. 1 is really obvious, since Goku is the most (for mostly) important and core character in Dragon Ball franchise.

[@baer5137]

You guys put 17 over Bulma and Krillin?!? crazy

[@josephsharp6221]

Dragon Ball has some of my personal favorite Shounen Anime/Manga characters of all time. Gohan, Future Trunks, Piccolo, Tien, Nail, Tapion, Bardock, Broly (DBS), Vegito, and Gogeta.

[@danieln6700]

Broly dbs movie was badass. Hadn't heard of tapion but he looks cool.

[@Mathias6x]

My favorite character for 30 years is Gohan and he's number 3. I'm cool with that 😊

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Same here. 😊 I'd honestly place him above Vegeta, mostly due to the fact that he managed to surpass his father and the prince of all Saiyans at such a young age and achieved a new power different to the Saiyans on earth. 😊

Question: When Goku died in the Cell Saga for like seven years, why didn’t he think to visit his parents?

[@quinnfletcher3906]

What would he say to them? Hey, thanks for ditching me on earth?

[@adaurysantos]

Why would he? As far as he knows both of them are evil just like his brother. Also his parents were likely purified and reincarnated like Vegeta was going to be when he died.

[@mr.mystere4999]

His parents were killed on Planet Vegeta, so they would have likely gone to that planet's version of the check-in station and its version of Hell instead of Earth's.

[@yesthisiscrab]

If I remember the old rules correctly, his parents likely wouldn't have been able to keep their bodies. I suppose one could argue Bardock's defiance against Frieza and attempt at freeing the Saiyans from him could redeem him somewhat I figured him and Gine at best would just be the little chattering clouds in line at Planet Vegeta's otherworld check-in station.

[@DanielRayHWS]

Vegeta will always be the greatest!

[@goodcommunitylife]

Despite the hate through the last several years, I am still a fan of Yamcha!

[@kuldeeppathak9790]

All hail prince Vegeta ❤

[@tylergoodman3560]

Vegeta has the best redemption arc. 🎉

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

Notice that most of Goku's allies started out as his enemies to some extent. Even Krillin, when he joined Goku for Roshi's training, started out as a rather shifty schemer. (Remember the episode where Roshi threw the rock and the first one who brought it back would be the only one who'd get dinner?)

[@KayKwasa]

Kinda funny how most of the characters are puns on a lot of things and yet so memorable. I believe we all know who #1 and #2 is

[@scarrantsandreviews]

I like that Android 17 seems to have been influenced by Android 16. I also like that this series leaves things like that up for interpretation and doesn't have to beat you over the head with character nuances told through constant inner monologs or flashbacks. A lot of other anime treat its viewers like they can't remember what happened in the beginning of the episode they're currently watching, let alone episodes from an arc ago

[@prowolf633]

I hope if a Top 30 Dragon Ball characters is made it will include Videl, Launch, and Oolong

[@NostalgiaKing90]

Tien should definitely be higher on this list. Krillin should switch places with Master Roshi, and even though we all knew Goku would be number 1, Vegeta should be at the top of the list!

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

There are lots of other Dragon Ball characters that I like. Chichi: Like Bulma, Gohan's wife is an awesome diva! You have to feel sorry for her--she just wanted a normal family, like Charlie Brown just wanted a normal dog. "What good is Gohan saving the earth if he doesn't get into a good school?" Yajirobe: A punk ronin who provides some good comedy. (And he got to be a hero once cutting the tail off the Giant Ape...) Launch: A blue-haired nice girl who turns into a yellow-haired bank robber (and back) when she sneezes. Baba: Roshi's sister, a witch-seer who's in it for the money. (But she comes to like Goku.) Gotenks: The product of fusion between Gohan and Young Trunks, he combines their superpowers but suffers from super-attitude, leading to erratic results. Weez: Beerus' lackey is also his old mentor, and a funny character himself. And I like Mr. Popo more than some people...
