I love Yajirobe, he's a coward at times, doesn't like to help out, will call you out on your crap, but is often there when you need him. In many ways, he's like Cordelia from Buffy.

Lunch was third favorite character in the original Dragon Ball anime under 1) Goku and 2) Piccolo. I loved how sweet and naive she was in her innocent personality, and I loved how ruthless she was in her aggressive personality. She's lower on my list of favorite characters once we get to Dragon Ball Z, but she would still crack the top 10.

The only Dragon Ball character that I hate is Bacterian. I skip over his segment in both the manga and the anime. He stinks and I don't like him!

Well he is a rehash of Dr. Raichi. Unlike Raichi, he has some level of personality to him.

I often say Yajirobe was like the Mr. Satan of the Saiyan Saga. The way he was handled in the story was very similar. Running from the battlefield but then returning and ultimately saving the day, the unlikely hero, etc.

Honestly, not a huge fan of Goten, Kid Trunks, or Gotenks. Goten seems like a cheap Goku clone, Kid Trunks is basically Vegeta's arrogence without the charatcer depth, and Gotenks redefines the word "obnoxious".

On the other hand, I really like Mr. Satan. To quote Jessica Rabbit, "He makes me laugh."
Edit: I also really enjoy Oolong. While he only really did anything during the first arc, he was hilariously sarcastic and cowardly.

Super 17 he is unique after the fusion.
The question has been asked by you 10000000000 times and we have become very efficient.
I don't care about non canon stuffs like game, guide book, movie, etc
Spare the trouble because GT is CANON
Be quick and be done with it

Omega shenron is VERY under rated online. But for side characters,if that's what's meant it has to be Korin.
Any post before 8/7/2016 isn't mine. This account was a gift from someone who thought the account was already banned. Saved me the trouble of making a new one haha XD

I love DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBZK/DBS (If I didn't why would I be here? XD)

That's fair, though I would give Yajirobe WAY more credit. He physically got involved and showed a lot more integrity and bravery by cutting off Vegeta's tail than Mr. Satan did by using his dishonestly gained popularity to help save the world. I still like Mr. Satan, but Yajirobe's more admirable.

I always like Elder Kaioshin. He is always been a funny and enjoyable character to watch when him and Kibitoshin are next together. I also always dislike King Cold. He is the most useless character ever and could have been so awesome.

Anyone else really like Bulma's father, Dr. Briefs?

He has one of the most down to earth and normal personalities in the show. I loved him building Goku's spaceship for when he went to Namek, and also working with Bulma to fix Android 16 in the Cell saga. He also has a lot of humor moments in the anime filler too. I think he is very underrated

He's basically every asshole who does whatever he wants in life and the universe magically works everything out for him. Wife being pissy about him not providing for his family? She'll forget about it! Your 7 year old son who grew up without a dad because you chose to stay dead? He'll forget about it! Your other son only being useful to you as a punching bag? He won't care! Seriously. Fuck. Goku.

Unless Super has a moment where the stars finally align with him fucking up and legitimately coming to terms with this and the other characters acknowledging his bad behavior and doing something about it for once, he'll stay the numero uno scumbag of DB for me.
Dende... :shock:

(and it's funny cuz you have a Goku avatar).

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 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.
