I'm loving the "Trio Of Danger" designs. This instantly came to my mind when I fist saw them.

It's interesting to see that Goku, Gohan and Majin will be up first. But let's be real... one of them is gonna job out hard. And it sure as hell ain't gonna be Goku.

Even if we agree for a second thats true , now they aren't even capable or interested in doing that, nor does goku need it..
They level of opponents they could beat is something goku can't waste stamina on..
It's not that hard to see others are of no use whatsoever anymore without a boost yet they can't be bothered to be given one..

I happen to like my Dragonball with everyone closer in power enough to help out even if goku takes the main stage and that's not something I alone feel either..
This really isn't something that is debatable anymore, We can't reach a conclusion like this.. let's not continue it further
That is because there are far more characters like Beerus, Whis, Jaco, ect. The human cast got left in the dust for the most part and this tournament may frankly be their last hurrah.

Dragon Ball characters haven't been even in power since the King Piccolo Saga and the gap only got wider.

Gohan was relevant during the Buu Saga to the point of being the main character and he didn't break the top 5. Piccolo's role got reduced, didn't even fight, and he was still in the top 5. Vegeta was dead for most of the Buu Saga and he was number 2.
Who cares about Vegeta and Piccolo's roles during the Boo saga ? Overall they are relevant and strong characters. The fans aren't going to suddenly forget about their roles in the cell saga and before just because of that. Plus, some of Vegeta's best moments were in the Boo saga. The only weird one in this situation is Gohan. You can't just say it has absolutely no factor when the most popular characters tend to be more relevant and stronger. Just because there are some outliers doesn't mean anything.

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.

I'm assuming these are the current top 10
1. Goku 2.Vegeta 3. Gohan/F.Trunks 4 F Trunks/Gohan 5 Beerus/Piccolo 6 Piccolo/Beerus 7. Krillin. After that I definitely can't tell anymore. Goten probably isn't top 10. Hit could be.

future trunks is the fourth most popular character in a lot of polls and he was only there for one arc and barely did much in it.

gohan is the third and he is now a pansey.

sooooooooooo

trunks was important in the cell saga? You sure?

Villains are usually popular but aren't many people's favorite characters.

Hmmm...maybe. Also since human "fangs" are not that impressive and cool sounding Rōgafūfūken belongs to Yamcha.....Bergamo must be super strong!

He is the anti-Yamcha!

I think I've figured out the correlation between the God's of destruction, based on logic alone.

Having said that, I also think there is going to be a correlation about patterns, so until we see all the patterns, we won't know for sure.

Universe 6 (Champa) vs Universe 7 (Beerus) [for obvious reasons]
Universe 3 (Mouse) vs Universe 10 (Not-Ganesh) [for obvious reasons]
Not-Cleopatra vs Not-Aztec [two similar real-life cultures thousands of years old, both build pyramids and other intricate structures]
Furry-Face vs Not-Luud [one really hairy, the other is unable to have hair]
Not-Tails (Universe 9?) vs Not-Arqua (Therefore, Universe 3?) [Land animal vs Sea animal]
Ganondwarf vs Not-Joker

His name is God of Destruction Tails, not "Not-Tails". The alternate universe Miles Tails Prower who instead of being raised by Sonic, was raised by an angel from his orphan days. He grew into an adult and became a God of Destruction.

These wolf characters better be interesting, because 3 wolves at once in the first fight is kind of boring.

Man, now I'm sad Yamcha isn't fighting. Yamcha fighting these flea-bags and using his Wolf Fang Fist on them would have been amazing. Why didn't the Toei writers think of this? Yamcha beating around some flea-ridden mutts would have been amazing.

Who are the flea-ridden mutts? All I see are Basil, Lavenda, and Bergamo.

Because those "flea-ridden mutts" are three of the strongest beings in their universe. While Yamcha is apparently is so low on the radar that Master Roshi was picked over him.

However if memory serves Yamcha did beat up a wolf guy in a filler episode of one of the old Budokai preliminaries. Wolf-kind would have finally got its bloody revenge on him if he was picked to fight.
