My favorite Toriyama created character tied with Son Gokuu. Utsumi Kenji as Senbei was absolutely outstanding.
Champa?

He is one of my favorite additions to the series! Iwata especially breathes life into the character. His flips between goofy and violent is handled better than his brother's switches in personality. It's interesting how he takes advantage of humans compared to Beerus. The aforementioned manipulates them into treating him while Champa makes them a part of his grand games for his own rewards.
He's been on my mind recently. Does anyone enjoy Dodoria's villainy?

Dodoria's a classic. He's one of the more memorable "minor" villains. Still not favorite, though.

He's one of my favorites. I'm deeply interested in his backstory and what the future may bring for him. You can count me among those who hope for him achieving Super Saiyan Blue.

It's not in the game's rules, but it would help a lot if you'd expand on why you like or don't like the characters, even just one or two reasons. It's actually against the forum rules to make one-liners like that. Just a little advice, that's all.

Magetta is pretty cool, but not much screentime to get across any real personality, or make a particularly big impression in general. Definitely not a favourite character, not even in my top 10.
Tienshinhan?
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Great character development, plus he never actually gave up fighting. He's up there, but not at the top.

Unfortunately, he's far too bland for my taste. I suppose he is cute to a degree, though.

Favorite female character. She's funny and multi-faceted, and remains relevant with her brain despite not being able to blow up planets with a sneeze.
Elder Kaioshin?

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.

He's basically Diet Muten Roshi, who isn't all that great to begin with anyways, so I don't find him the least bit appealing.

Currently my 10th favorite. His design is solid, and the Time Skip is an amazing ability. That's to say nothing of his fighting style as well.
Grand Priest?

He's only had like <10 minutes of screen time. He seems alright from what's been shown but I don't know enough about him to even consider him as a favorite.
(Grandpa) Son Gohan?

Not one of my favorites but I do wish his relationship with Goku was developed more. It's nice to see Goku interact with a father figure and his fight with Goku in Dragonball is one of my favorite moments.
Edit : Piccolo

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.

(
pssst. you forgot to guess the next person's favorite.)
Edit: Actually very close. When I'm talking to people that are only familiar with Z, Piccolo is who I tell them is my favorite. He was great as a villain and his character development added even more to his character.

I admire his neutrality on most matters, as well as his concern for Kami. His role in TFS' content annoys me to no end, however.
Piccolo Daimao?
