Version 1 for reference. The rules are mostly the same as the previous version, though with minor adjustments.
Read this post thoroughly before making a contribution.
Sequence
- I'll name a character from the Dragon Ball franchise.
- The next poster will respond by stating whether that is or isn't their favorite character. You may optionally provide an additional comment, such as (though not limited to) "One of them," or "Not even close."
- That same poster (in the same post) will name another character, then the above repeats, and so the cycle continues.
Additional Notes
- To avoid confusion, all character names must be from the original Japanese version. If you are unsure about any particular character's name, send me a PM and I'll let you know.
- Each post must contain what is written in the rules. This means you cannot only respond to a guess or only name a character.
- Characters may be named more than once.
- You are not required to quote a post to respond to it. If you do, however, do not quote posts without removing the post that one is quoting. Do not quote this post in its entirety.
For further clarification, here is an example of the game in action.
[spoiler]
Post 1:
Goku?
Post 2:
I like him, but he's not quite near the #1 spot.
Kuririn?
Post 3:
Indeed he is!
Mr. Satan?[/spoiler]
With these in mind, please be polite and have fun! Now to start:
Goku?

Nah, probably number 1, if the Cell saga and Super didn't exist.
Vegeta ?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about
your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Nah. He's cool but I don't find overwhelming appeal in him.
Gohan?

No, I hate him
damn, someone got to it before me.
Bulma has always been a meh character. Nothing to dislike strongly, but nothing to like strongly.
Goten?

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.

Close. Second favorite. Hate how much of a Mary Sue he was in super though.

I don't find him that interesting from a writer's standpoint. He is funny, though.

Close; she has a lot of sweet moments with Krillin, and she broke Vegeta's arm. Easily the strongest woman on Earth and multi layered; sometimes she's a death cyborg, sometimes a hustler, sometimes a loving wife and mother. Top 10 for sure.
Piccolo?

Very "meh" on him to be completely honest. Still better than most of the "heroes" though.
Mr. Satan?

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

quite where my favorites are.
