Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
Not counting changes to your favorite characters because of Super because that's new material. Have you changed your opinion on certain characters during the years? I definitely have.
My top 5 when I first got into dragonball:
1. Gohan (Cell saga was my favorite).
2. Goku
3. Future Trunks
4. Gotenks
5. Gogeta
My top 5 now:
1. Gohan (Boo saga is my favorite version)
2. Future Trunks
3. Vegeta
4. Tien
5. Krillin or Gotenks

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Yep. I didn't have a concrete fave five but Vegeta was #1, Kuririn and Bulma were nowhere near it, and Pure Buu was the only villain in it. Now, Vegeta's not in the Top 5, Freeza is the only villain in it, and Kuririn and. Bulma sit at #4 and #5 respectively. Also, Piccolo is my new #1 with Goku trailing behind.
Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
I've been a fan for over 10 years and Vegeta was my #1 the minute he was introduced and he still is (I'm sure I've made this crystal clear by now ) .
Goku has always been a close 2nd for me.
Based on Super it looks like I picked the right characters to be a fan of cause if I was a Gohan and/or Piccolo fan then I'm not sure how I'd enjoy Super or even GT.

Mine hasn't really changed. Beerus is now in my top 5.
1) Piccolo
2) Bardock
3) Tenshinhan
4) Vegeta
5) Beerus
Future Trunks would definitely be my 6th, followed by Gohan then Goku.

Not really, I started when I was about 13 and my favorites were Goku and Vegeta and they're still Goku and Vegeta.
Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
I've realized the entire cast are either incompetent or just kind of assholes so yeah, I'd say my view on everyone, not just my favorites like Piccolo and Vegeta, have changed quite a bit.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
Honestly Yamcha of all people has started slowly creeping into my favorite characters list recently. The older and smarter I got, the more I started having a fascination with him and his uniqueness and his struggles and his immense potential as a deep character, and then the Elsewhere fanmanga solidified him as a badass for following up on all of that potential.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
Not particularly; if anything the reasons why they're my favorites have changed the most. I liked Yamcha as a kid for fairly superficial reasons -- his Cell arc haircut and his defining scar. Nowadays I'm a lot more interested in his eternal role as the punching bag, despite dub fans taking it to possibly a heavy extreme, or interpreting it wrong altogether. I also appreciate the humorous minor characters a lot more. Lunch, Turtle, and Mai 4lyfe.
As far as the main cast goes, I was always and still am very into Goku, Kuririn, and Tenshinhan for more or less the same reasons all these years.

Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
The only real major change is that Beerus is my number 1 character with everyone else going down one place. So now it's:
Beerus
Goku
Vegeta
Piccolo
Future Trunks
And before it was:
Goku
Vegeta
Piccolo
Future Trunks
Krillin
Beerus
Goku
Vegeta
Piccolo
Future Trunks

Vegeta
Piccolo
Future Trunks

I guess 3 out of 5 characters being relevant isn't a bad deal.

Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
Nope. Gokuu was, is and will always be #1 no matter what. My top 5 in fact my top 10 hasn't changed at all.
1. Son Gokuu
2. Piccolo
3. Freeza
4. Tenshinhan
5. Muten Roshi
6. Kuririn
7. Piccolo Daimao
8. Mirai Trunks
9. Tao Pai Pai
10. Mr. Satan
Black Gokuu has a serious chance of making into my top 10 but I'll wait until the arc ends.

Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
Since I've only been into Dragon Ball since summer 2015 my favourites haven't changed as I've gotten older but rather as I've watched more and more. Currently my top 5 are Buu saga Gohan, Piccolo, King Kai, Master Roshi, and Goku.

Re: Have your favorite characters in DB-DBZ changed as you've gotten older?
I don't think I had rankings when I was a kid, but as I got older, my understanding of how the characters actually are grew, and when I liked certain characters changed as well. Vegeta is my 2nd favorite, but he only became that after I finished going through the Buu arc a couple times when I was a little older and out of high school. Before that, he was still my 2nd fav, but only just because.

Here's my thread for you guys' favorites.
I used to love Cell for some reason. Not sure about the others, besides Frieza being #2 IIRC.

Theres already been multiple "Favorite character" threads. Once I post in one, I feel no need to post in another.Anime Kitten wrote:Here's my thread for you guys' favorites.

I created the thread because there's no current one of the like, so it's good to post in there to have an up-to-date record of what could potentially be every user's favorites.Soppa Saia People wrote:Theres already been multiple "Favorite character" threads.
