Who's that one random character you really hate/love?

[DoomieDoomie911]

Love: Kame-sennin, Turtle, Dr. Briefs, Blooma's mother, and the Pilaf gang. They're all so hilarious! I also really like Hatchan and Snow. I would love to see them appear again in Super. They're both very sweet.

EDIT: I forgot to mention Oolong!

[ABED]

Suno and Cyborg 8, dunno why, they're just so darn likable.

[Nightmare Wheel]

I've always liked Giran, not sure why. Maybe it's just because dinosaurs are cool.

[Araki]

I always loved Oolong for some reason. I think it's his hilarious voice in the original, it stuck with me ever since i first watched DBZ (movie 9, especially the scene when he's rooting for Kuririn against Piccolo).

Bulma's mom was amusing too. A shame she went mute.

[precita]

Mercenary Tao, Launch, Ninja Murasaki and Dende are also great.

[IAmTheMilkMan]

I've always loved Lunch, particularly her "evil" side. She doesn't do a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but I always enjoy whenever she pops up. I'm quite fond of both of her character designs. Like many other characters, I wish Toriyama had utilized her more than he did.

It's a shame to see so much Mr. Satan hate on here as he is another one of my favorites. I have to assume that the hate stems mostly from the anime filler and poor English dub because, in the manga, Mr. Satan is hilarious. I'm just guessing based on what people have told me as I haven't seen most of the Cell portion of the original anime, let alone the English dub, but I always liked him a lot in the manga, especially during the Buu saga.

[DBZAOTA482]

I've always liked Giran, not sure why. Maybe it's just because dinosaurs are cool.

Yeah, forgot about Giran. He was awesome... and so was Nam.

[HybridSaiyan]

Love: Android 17 on a random note. I always liked his design and his personality. He was different from the other villains and thought of life as one whole big game. I really don't understand why he's not showing up in Super. He's clearly still alive and I'd love to see him bond more with his sister 18. GT completely fucked up his development though.

Hate: Supreme Kai. That Jackass was the most irritating piece of garbage ever. We all thought he was going to be some kind of badass but turns out a complete wimp. Can constrain a SSJ2 Gohan but couldn't constrain Dabura with the exact power.

[precita]

I've grown a lot more fond of the Androids overall since they're so different than the other villains. Where most are world conquers like Freeza or want to destroy everything like Buu, the Androids are a lot different. I also loved how Cell's first form had a horror element, something not seen too often in Dragonball.

[Ree]

I dont really like Master Roshi either because he isnt funny and his character type is overused and one of the worst ones out there.

[Soppa Saia People]

I dont really like Master Roshi either because he isnt funny and his character type is overused and one of the worst ones out there.

Have you watched Dragon Ball (1986-1989) ?

[Cipher]

Baby Gamera!

Could Baby Gamera secretly be the strongest fighter?

Who's to say?

I believe him to be Kame Sennin's real teacher.

[precita]

I've become a huge fan of Korin in recent years, especially because of his dub voice. He's such a funny character. I especially liked the filler scenes where Maron was flirting with him in the Garlic Jr. arc and he goes "STOP THAT!" after blushing for a while.

[RandomGuy96]

Yajirobe. No one gives him the credit he deserves for being such a badass. He doesn't get a lot of focus, but he makes the most of his limited screen time. I'll quote myself from when I posted about him previously:

Yajirobe. He's a fat, cowardly, weak buffoon... supposedly. In actuality he's one of the most badass characters in the series, and undeniably one of the smartest. Okay, first thing's first: in his very first appearance, he's just some bum living in the woods, yet he's strong enough to fight evenly with Goku. Note that Goku had just tied Tenshinhan in the finals of the 22nd Budokai (well, Ten won, but only by technicality; in all practical regards, they were completely even) not three hours ago. The 22nd Budokai is basically a huge contest of all the best fighters in the world, terrifying superhumans who can crush armies, who have trained their whole lives to be the best fighters on the planet... and Yajirobe, with no training, casually makes all but two of them look like complete shit.

That's just the beginning. A few minutes later, a gargoyle-like demon shows up. This demon has just finished killing off every single notable superhuman on Earth (except Tenshinhan, Roshi, and Yamcha, and Yamcha is only alive because the demon had bigger fish to fry). He even defeated Goku, back when Goku was exhausted from fighting in the 22nd Budokai. A normal man might run... but you're assuming that Yajirobe gives even the smallest amount of fucks, which he doesn't. Instead, he rock-paper-scissors Goku for the opportunity to fight the demon. He loses the game, leaving Goku to kill the gargoyle. However, when another demon shows up a few minutes later, one who's only moderately weaker than the last, Yajirobe wins the rock paper scissors match. So he fights the demon... and kills him in about one minute. Then he slices the super powerful demon in half and fucking eats it, because that's how he rolls.

So anyway, Piccolo Daimao- the demon king, and father of the guys Goku and Yaj just killed- then arrives on the scene. Yajirobe is badass, but he's not a moron, so he decides to run at this. Goku does not. So begins the trend of Yajirobe being the only smart one who has to save all these idiots over and over again. Goku takes on Piccolo Daimao, loses horribly, and is left dying in the woods. Piccolo Daimao then goes on to kill Roshi and Chaozu. Things look hopeless... but there's Yajirobe, coming back to save the day. But wait! Goku's in shit shape, the only way to save his life is with magical beans located on top of a demigod's incredibly high tower. Climbing it is so amazingly difficult that not even the Earth's greatest mercenary could manage that feat. Surely, this is the end...? Nope. You're again assuming that Yajirobe gives any fucks, which he doesn't. He easily climbs that tower with Goku on his back, gets him the magic beans, and then decides to just stay there with the cat god. He lives there for the rest of the series. Probably because Karin realizes that if he tries to kick Yaj out, the badass will just fucking eat him too.

Fast-forward to the Saiyan arc. Everyone starts training. Yajirobe figures he should train too, but he takes it easy and basically does nothing but eat and occasionally play around, because he trusts that the other dozen or so people in the Z-gang can actually do stuff for themselves. He is, of course, wrong, and everybody gets their asses handed to them by Nappa and Vegeta. Okay, so he has to save the day again; that's kind of a problem, since he only has a power level of 970 while even the weaksauce humans have power levels of between one and two thousand, the mooks have power levels of 1,200 each, the brutish henchman has a power level of 4,000, and the main villain has a power level of 180,000 in his Oozaru form. You'd think that, when presented with the opportunity to face down an enemy literally hundreds of times stronger than him, this supposed coward would run and hide, right? No. For the last time, you are falsely assigning the number of fucks you give to someone who gives no fucks. He literally surpassed GOD and obtained planet-busting power while sitting around and eating chips, so Yaj figures that he can defeat an alien warlord who has destroyed countless planets and stomped every one of Earth's warriors into the ground, including Goku.

He's right. With a simple bit of cleverness, Yajirobe, despite his relatively low power, is able to save everybody from Vegeta by sneaking around and launching a surprise attack on his weak spot while the Saiyan is completely off guard. He cuts off Vegeta's tail, causing Vegeta to drop from his Oozaru form, back to his highly weakened base. Yajirobe, his bloodlust apparently not satisfied, decides to sneak up and attack Vegeta AGAIN, and inflicts a grievous wound on the villain that would have killed him if not for a last second dodge and a suit of armor. Then he gets attacked by a vengeful Vegeta and beaten to the point of unconsciousness... yet he survives, in good enough shape. It is because of Yajirobe that Krillin and Gohan are then able to finish Vegeta off, and send him running with his tail between his legs. Oh wait, never mind, he doesn't have a tail, because Yajirobe fucking mutilated him. Note that the wound stays there. Nothing, from magical beans, to techno-magical healing tanks, to god dragons ever repairs Vegeta's mutilated tail. Most likely the beans, tanks, and dragons all just realized that restoring Vegeta's tail would only anger Yajirobe.

You'd think that his duty would be done by this point, as he's not "powerful" enough to remotely matter by the time they get to Namek, but nope. He STILL has to jump in and save the day. His work is never done. In the Android arc, when the "heroes" are preparing to rush into battle, Yajirobe basically face palms when he shows up, stops them, and tells them that they forgot to bring the magic heal-any-wound beans. But it's okay, Yaj brought some. He says that they'll need these beans, since they'll probably fuck everything up again. Obviously, they do. These beans end up saving their asses multiple times when they commit horrible fuck-up after horrible fuck-up. Even as late as the 2008 special, several years after the death of Buu, Yajirobe is running around saving civilians from the collateral damage caused by his idiot friends' fights.

No wonder the guy just sits around all day instead of training and fighting; he's badass to the extreme and kept up with everybody else up to the Saiyan arc despite just sitting around and eating. He was even with Goku in his 1st appearance despite doing no training at all. If he actually devoted himself to it, he'd just embarrass everybody else. Freeza? Dead at the beginning of the arc before he can leave his chair, via a sword through the eye. Cell? The Cell Games would never happen. Yaj would have sliced Cell into bits while he was still in his weakest form (oh, by the way, good job Vegeta). Then he would make sure Cell doesn't regenerate by eating him. Buu? Stays in his pod, as Yaj would be smart enough to just point out to Kaioshin that someone like him who can render SS2 Gohan completely helpless and defenseless should have no problem taking out Dabra and Babidi.

On top of that, he actually has an entertaining personality. Most of the time he's just so damn apathetic and callous that it's hilarious. He probably has the highest ratio of screen time to laughs.

That's actually pretty amazing. Never realized Yajirobe was god tier. Great analysis! I've got some new found respect for this guy.

[fadeddreams5]

Yeah, Yajirobe is awesome. lol.

[Dbzfan94]

One of the few characters I actually dislike in the entire series is Dolltaki from GT. I hate that creepy bastard

[Neo-Makaiōshin]

I like Giru, i just like it, i cant elaborate more than that.

[RandomGuy96]

Awesome, more members in the Yajirobe fan club.
