This should be fun. My favorite character has always been a neck and neck race between Goku and Vegeta, but my vote goes towards the latter. I just find Vegeta more interesting at times
My favorite character is Gohan. Though, almost all of Dragonball’s characters are very interesting, I somehow admire Gohan most. As a kid he was forced to learn how to fight and eventually became stronger than everybody else, then after weakening for years.. he still managed to do the exact same over again when he had to fight Majin Buu.
My favorite character is definitely Goku, but not because he is the main character. Goku has always showed incredible determination in the face of adversity. No matter what he was up against, he always gave it his all and never let doubt get in the way. It’s crazy how a fictional character can give you such courage. I owe Goku for making me into the person I am today, frankly.
My favorite character has to be Gohan, Most powerful worrier in the galaxy, decides to get a degree instead
My favorite character is Vegeta. Out of all the characters in the Dragon Ball story, he gets the most development. His change from a cold ruthless killer to just a cranky family man has always really pulled on my heart strings.
My favorite character is Piccolo simply because he was always willing to fight even when he knew he was outmatched. He would buy time for Goku or whoever needed it, and against some enemies he could hold his own. I always enjoyed his fighting style and how he was unconventional. I also liked his relationship with Gohan and how he was a mentor and almost a second father to him.
My favorite character would be Ninja Murrasaki, he is not a Main or strong character, but he just has a goofy personality, he is a great comedic relief after a couple of serious episodes.
This is sooo freaken sweet. i hope i win. Goten is my Favorite Character. to bad they screwed him over in GT
Goku for the win ^,^, hes a kid at heart and has a big one at that. Never kills if he doesnt really have to. And he mans up for ppl he doesnt even know. GOKU
Goku is my favorite charcater,his friends and family and even other people come first before fighting at full power,he is truily a nice person and his endurance just amazes me :D GOKU FOR THE WIN.
gohan is my favorite character cause you see him grow up in the show and his really cool
Mr. Satan. He saved the world, twice. Plus he is funny.
Piccolo san! DAIDAIDAIDAIDAIIIIISUKI!!!
Krillin; he may not be the strongest character and he is rendered pretty useless after a while, but despite being afraid and weak he will always stand by his friends’ side and do whatever he can to help. Respect.
Vegeta. Never give up, never surrender.
And he shows some great character development at the end of the Buu Saga (finally admitting Goku is the strongest). He also shows he cares about his family when he sacrifices himself.
Ofcourse the prince of all sayins Vegeta! His character evolved from a harsh ruthless killer to an amazing thoughtful fighter…
my favorite is gohan because you see if grow from a crybaby to a strong fighter
my favorite character es Goku, because i think he is a pure and strong hero, never give up, and he teached me how to be a strong person
my favorite character is Goku, because i think he is a pure and strong hero, never give up, and he taught me how to be a strong person
My favorite character has to be Vegeta. If you think about it, Goku is good because he hit his head and forgot his mission. Vegeta overcame the evil he’s been fed his whole life and still managed to become good with out any freak accidents. As you wrote in your book “It’s Over 9,000!”, Vegeta is multifaceted, and you have to see his different angles to understand the internal struggle he had to overcome.
My favourite character is Gohan. He’s not the strongest nor the smartest in the series (although he’s quite intelligent). I just like him because of something very personal: when I started watching DBZ I was in 4th grade and I had a friend to whom I talked to about DBZ. We also played with the characters and I always ended up choosing Gohan because he’s a little nerdy (and I was a nerd during school). I loved having found another girl to share my world (animé, videogames and books instead of the crappy Mexican novelas most girls my age watched).
I come from a very proud family. And by proud, I mean stubborn, headstrong, know-it-alls. I wouldn’t trade my family for the world and I’d like to thank my favorite character Vegeta for being the embodiment of pride and for teaching to never forget where you come from. Thanks for doing this Derek!
Gohan is my favorite character.
Gohan is my favorite character!
My favorite characters are Gohan and Goku.
Son Gohan is my favorite character. He’s smart, relatable and likeable. Most of his faults really lie in either his age or something out of his control/power. Pacifism bull crap aside, he still one of the better (and funnier for his Saiyaman bit) characters out of the cast. If only he was the hero in the end… :(
My favorite character is probably Vegeta. He is a brilliantly-written character who starts off as an irrationally evil villain, but slowly comes to appreciate and even love Earth, ultimately becoming Goku’s right-hand man.
Tien, tien is the man
my fav has got to be goku he overcomes so much and is still nice and humble
Definitely Goku. I have not empathized with a character/personality as much as him, he is just awesome in every way.
Gohan has always been my favorite. When I was a kid watching dbz, I loved that a fellow child could contribute to the fight.
Fav character is vegetto… so powerfull and stubborn, can’t stop lovin’ him
Definately Goten. I have a thing for younger generation characters and he’s the perfect embodiment of those: a look-alike of an older character, starts at a higher power level, isn’t THAT disturbed by his life.
Gonna be really unoriginal and say Goku. I like him because he is so enthusiastic and happy, watching him makes me feel happy too :)
Bardock. All the way. Or as a runner up I like Gogeta.
My favorite character is……. Vegeto, just because he’s so awesome!
My favorite character is Frieza
My favourite character has to be Krillin. He has some classic comments!
My favorite is vegeta he is the baddest….
my favorite character is gohan cause he grows up before your eyes and see the things that as a young man he must go through and that hes pritty cool
Since he was the only character who seemed to have any sort of internal struggle, Vegeta has to be the best character.
My favourite character is Kame Sen’nin, because the different dimensions to him fit together so beautifully. First we see the old pervert, he seems like a comedy character who can’t really have many good qualities about him. Next we see the wise master and father figure, who always knows what’s best, is exceptionally powerful and is really a good guy. Finally, he’s a hero, who’s willing to give his life for the world and those around him. He’s both someone who can make you laugh, and someone who is admirable despite being a sexual deviant,
Piccolo is my favorite, because he’s sort of the Batman of the group. He’s portrayed as the brains of the group, and is one of the few non-Saiyan characters to keep an important role in the story after his power is eclipsed permanently by the Saiyans.
My favorite character has to be Gohan. He’s the one I identify myself with the most. :P
Goku all the way. I don’t see any other Saiyans breaking the Super Saiyan barrier without him leading the pack with his tenacious appetite for self-improvement… that and everyone would be dead and unable to learn how to become a Super Saiyan if he hadn’t stopped Lord Frieza.
My favourite character is Vegito! Awesome giveaway! :)
my favorite character is gohan hes just so cool and you see him grow up in the show from a crybaby to a fully grow man
My favorite unfused character would have to be Mr. Satan. Least powerful of the group, yet still managed to save the universe!
My favorite character by far is King Kai because of his amazing humor. Makes me laugh everytime I watch the early episodes.
My favorite character BY FAR would have to be vegeta in every way shape and form.
Gogeta is my favorite!
Gotta go with ultimate gohan!
my favorite character is gohan because he is so cool and you see him grow up as from a child to a grown man
my favorite character is gohan he is just so cool and you see him grow from a small child which crys and wines to a strong fighter
gohan is my favorite he grow so much from a cry baby to one of the stronger fighter in dbz and his ultimate form
gohan is my favorite character because he so cool and you can some times relat to him
Vegeta is my favorite because he is the most badass
all are my faroite
