Broly, Vegeta, and Gohan, specifically SSJ2 "Teen" Gohan.

They also have a good amount of rabid haters in return.

I'm still tired of hearing about Broli, but that's mostly derivative of my annoyance of rabid power level discussions.

Not to mini mod, but this really isn't an appropriate way to talk to someone.
Sorry, I guess I should take a chill pill and calm my triggered butt down. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yeah probably if you’d like to stay around here. Of course not even discussing the fact that you are categorically wrong on the subject you’re discussing anyway.

Vegetas and Bardock fans mostly. People complain about broly and his fanboys, but there's been such a big backlash against him, I don't think he really qualifies anymore.

From my personal experience on other social medias, Goku Black/Zamasu also have quite a vocal fanbase, but they are nothing compared to Gohan's or Broly's.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

Okaaaay, but I did apologise like sheesh man, nonetheless my behaviour was kinda inappropriate.

Thinking back on the Battle of Gods thread, the Resurrection F thread, and the Super threads as they've come along, Gohan is by far the present reigning king.

I have to ask OP is there an actual point to this thread? Not sure what you're trying to get out of by asking for people's opinions on who they think which character has "rabid fans".

That's what I came to say. I think we're past the Broly fanboyism, and have gone into right the opposite where everyone complains about him and his fans, and I'm not seeing the blind fanboyism there used to be.

I mean, there's still all of the Heroes cards of Broly and whatnot, but his fanbase seems to have either piped down or moved on for the most part.

I agree with you in essence, but reactions to a particular character do get to me, though I can't think of a character in DB that applies to. Felicity Smoak on Arrow is such a character. People either love her or hate her. She's either the messiah or the anti-Christ. She's either the sole reason some watch or the sole source of Arrow's problems. I find both viewpoints to be misguided, just like I would for a DB character. I guess this sort of issue doesn't apply so much to characters as it does reactions to the in-house DBZ dub.

It has to be Broly, no doubt about it.

As it is now, Gohan and Vegeta. Broly used to be up there for sure, but that's kinda died down. In a way there's more anti-Broly fans than there are Broly fans in terms of notability (being vocalised and such).
Notably, there's a surprisingly loud anti-Vegeta fanbase. It's almost astonishing to see the lengths some people will go to in order to hate on Vegeta. It's a very similar situation to the Broly one, actually; the haters are just as vocal and "rabid" as the lovers (for lack of a better term).

The following observation doesn't really come from this forum, but others that I've been on. I've been on various Dragon Ball forums since 2003 and they are a mixed bag, so just know that my post doesn't reflect Kanzenshuu's population.

Honestly, it used to be Broli. Broli used to have those kinds of fans that just wouldn't be reasoned with. But then it died down... not sure why. They probably started getting too much heat, and quite honestly, I feel like the feeling kind of never went away. People have so much hate for Broli and chalk it up to the Broli fans who went way too far with their love for Broli... and yet, I haven't seen that kind of love for him since like 2005.

Up next, we've got the Vegetto fans. The ones who would claim that Super Saiyan Vegetto could trump Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta just because. This was obviously pre-Super. And I don't know if it was too much love for Vegetto or just hate on GT (since Super Saiyan 4, and Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta were original GT concepts).

And finally, the Vegeta fans. I'm not particularly saying that they're wrong to like him, seeing as he has become the second main character of the story --and I don't know what he's doing in Super but obviously he plays a huge role -- but pre-Super, people were just so dead-set on Vegeta being featured more. They would get really heated about how Vegeta should have done this and should have done that.

I haven't really seen the Gohan fans, to be quite honest. The most I've seen is the popular belief that Gohan's portrayal after the Boo arc was poor (because many would prefer if he was still a top-tier fighter). Otherwise, I haven't really seen that rabid fanbase for him.
