Scariest character in Dragonball?

Post by Ssjcell » Wed Oct 31, 2018 10:34 am

Who was the scariest character in Dragonball ? My vote goes to imperfect cell hunting people down one by one the whole arc came off like a horror movie . Who would you say was the scariest character?

Probably those two guys who ran around shooting people for fun in the Buu Arc. Evil is way scarier when it is banal.

Namek saga Freeza is by far the most terrifying character in the franchise. He made everyone feel fear and hopelessness when confronting him, even Goku before he transformed into a SSJ. Only Imperfect Cell is comparable when it comes to fear factor.

Appearance-wise: Cell-X and Time Breaker Bardock - Yes, Bardock. There is a fanart of him very scary, I posted it in the fanarts thread a long time ago.

By actions/theme: Cell - Loved the "horror feeling" Dragon Ball created to him even when he was not on-screen at the very beginning.

Honorable mention: Janemba - Reality and matter manipulator? That is some serious business, man.

First form cell, especially when he drained that one person. I was creeped out for days.

Either Piccolo Daimao, or Tambourine.

Goddamn horrifying. Damn-near gave me nightmares as a kid.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

I remember when I was a kid watching Cell's rampage where he was absorbing people (including the implication of absorbing children) and wondering if they should be allowed to air this for kids :lol:

These days there aren't too many things I'd consider scary. Except maybe some freeze frame screenshots from the second Coola movie/Super/etc.

Freeza, not exactly the scariest character but that scene in Z where he impaled Kuririn and toyed around with him was horribly violent. I recall that in Kai this scene barely lasted any time at all.

Now, an actual scary character?

Piccolo Daimao.

The first form of Cell, bar none.
Anytime he drained people was disgusting and creepy.

Fused Zamasu and Infinite Zamasu.

Fused Zamasu looks absolutely hideous once he is heavily injured by the Kamehameha and his own attack, and his body deteroriates along with his mental sanity, to the point that he is reduced to a mere lunatic.

infinite Zamasu, who is an ominous astral being who looks terrifying, and is the very embodiement of evil. All he wanted was destruction, he had lost all of his redeeming qualities, and had devolved into a spiteful monster who enjoyed only the purest of chaos. Plus, you know, there's the fact that he killed thousands of people in a few seconds and was spreading throughout the entire cosmos.

Besides Freeza and Cell 1st form, i always was scared of #19, I'm afraid of clowns, and he not only look like one, but can drain your energy by grabbing you.

Don't think he, I or anyone realistically mean scary in its true sense but as a character of the show.

To be fair, if a giant green monster appeared in real life then you'd bet I'd be scared. :lol:

There's some creepy moments / visuals in the manga for example when gero grabs the old man and completely crushes that man's throat
When cell absorbs anyone really including the andriods
When babidi and his men cut that family in half and leave their bodies for anyone to find
And when they dispose of spopovich so gruesomly
Also when those men shoot the couple and bee

Imperfect Cell
Baby
Lord Luud
Super Buu muscled form
Naturon Shenron (Pan absorbed)
Yakon
Third form Frieza
Dr Gero

Those are characters i could perhaps call "scary" in appearance

How are these even "scary" to you? Is Lord Lood on it because he likes to play with toys? Dunno why bout Baby and Super Boo.

In appearance, Baby and Super Boo look awesome.

Luud was just visually scary to me after he absorbed Pan and turned red.
Super Buu was scary after absorbing South Kaioshin when he became extremely muscled.

Baby was scary in every way. Especially in his self form. Remember how he was possessing people on planets?
Even when he took someone's body his host face was scary as well, like Trunks. The way he talked and laughed was scary.
