Characters than genuinly annoy you.

Post by Rory » Wed May 28, 2008 6:23 pm

Pretty self explanatory, just share who you're most annoying character is!
Try to stay away from GT or movie only characters.
Personally (And I am pretty much lining myself up for a beating from Rocketman here), I cannot stand Chi-Chi in Dragonball Z.
Her whole " Gohan must study attitude is funny at first, but her constant bitching, bickering, and screaming just gets on my damn nerves.

I agree, especially when I think about how awesome Gohan would be if Chi-Chi hadn't brainwashed him.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Chi Chi definitely, Mr.Satan, and Videl in the Saiyaman saga. Oh, and Broly! I hate that guy.

Well Babidi and other characters like him annoys me, Chichi's not that annoying, Worrying about kid's safety is not "Being an arroigant slaggy bitch who hates her husband".

If OCs count than Mary Sue's the most annoying of them all, she steals men from other DBZ female characters and always ends up cheating on them with Naruto, L, Light, Sasuke or some other popular character in the end. :roll:

If they don't count, Babidi, Garlic jr etc are annoying Pilaf rip-offs.

Nobody says she hates her husband. Infact, its the complete opposite. She loves him more than he loves her. She sticks with him when most women would probably say "screw this!". But she is annoying as far as Gohan is concerned, because she ALWAYS wants him studying. No fun at all for the 5 year old! (or whatever age he is)

I have to go with the majority (it seems) here and say that ChiChi, is not my favorite character by far and annoys and infuriates me.

ChiChi I can understand her concern for her son's safety in battle; that is a reasonable reaction. Her emphasis that he study, study, study is ridiculous. To a certain extent, it's understandable but she replies many times that the world could fall apart and she wouldn't give a damn so long as Gohan got an education. That, to me, is a serious set of skewered priorities. What good is an education going to do if there isn't a world to succeed in?

Likewise, she shoves it at him constantly. If I recall correctly, during the Android Saga, when they are transporting Goku to Master Roshi's, and Goku is essentially dying, she drops Gohan's books and study materials at him. That pissed me off pretty bad. A little compassion here would be nice...

The whole picking her kid's career from the day he was born was pretty much a strike against her for me as well. I understand wanting her kid to succeed and to have things that she didn't but couldn't she take into account what he showed an interest in?

It also seemed to me that she almost played favorites with her kids. Gohan had to sneak away to play, train or do anything but study. Yet, ChiChi trains Goten herself, while she still pressures Gohan to study. What the hell is up with that?

All in all, I _can_ say I like ChiChi better now than I used to (I used to not be able to even write her into any stories because she infuriated me so) but she remains fairly low on my totem pole of favorite characters. To me, the main thing that sticks out is that during the Saiyan Saga, Gohan makes it all the way back to Mount Paouz, sees his home in the distance, remembers what the orphans told him when they were discussing mothers/families...and he turns and walks away, going back to the man who kidnapped him as opposed to running home to his mother. There's something wrong with that and it really says something about ChiChi, least in my eyes.

Mr. Satan is pretty annoying, too. He had everybody outside of the main characters believing his bullshit. I always wanted to see Vegeta or Piccolo beat the shit out of him in a World Tournament. Sure, Trunks did, but all he did was punch him. A sound ass-whooping would've been much more satisfying.

Beat? I wanted the Z fighters to kill Mr. Satan for his lies.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I agree with Ulissa, she took it way too far. When Goku convinced her that Gohan wouldn't be a scholar if he didn't help save the world, she'd say, "Okay, but he has to study as soon as he finishes!" Well, at least she gave him a break in Movie 9. And remember the filler episode where she gave Gohan a study bed? That's taking it too far.

Wow... how did you find Mr. Satan or Yamcha annoying!? I think their characters are great. Mr. Satan is just a good comic relief character and I would say he was pretty well done. He didn't annoy me at all. I have to agree with everyone on Chi Chi. She pissed me off in every scene after the Freeza arc. She would never shut the fuck up about Gohan studying and all she did was scream at Goku. And yeah, I remember that episode where she buys Gohan that "Study bed" that makes you learn while you are asleep... fucking crazy bitch. The anime took it WAY too far and made Chi Chi into a totally unlikable bitch. This is only one of many reasons why the anime isn't very good compared to the manga.

I guess it all depends on which version we are talking about. In the manga I like them all. In the anime I really can't stand filler (well filler anything really) Bulma and Chi Chi. Every single situation with them is more annoying than the last. Suddenly, Bulma is searching for Dragonball's on Namek with Freeza's men. Ugh. I probably wouldn't hate filler as much if it didn't break up all the tension.


You can add to that all the filler character's as well. Especially filler characters that appear on or before Namek.

Pretty much the only character that really annoyed me was Gohan after the Cell Saga. His whole Great Saiyaman thing was pretty lame. He was much cooler when he had the focussed badass attitude that he had when he fought Cell. Maybe it's just me, but I think the transition from Teen Gohan to Adult Gohan was to much, he was great how he was, why'd he have to change?

Broly probably annoys me most, but it's mostly a fan thing, people either prattle on about how "He's so strong and cool", or assign bullshit qualities to him that he doesn't possess, because he's their favorite character.

Every time I read about how "Broly is really a tragic figure" I want to kill myself.

Also, I hate Chaozu, he's just useless.

Jeice annoys me so bad. I dont see why he was in the ginyu force. Every other one has something special but he was the blandest of the bland

Probably just that he's distinguised himself as faster/stronger than most of the Freeza fighters out there is why he got assigned. He doesn't have anything particularly "special" in means of technique, etc., but if I'm commander of the Ginyu Special Corps, I'll snatch up a strong, balanced fighter like Jheese who stands above the rest of Freeza's soldiers just as soon as I'd take a low-level like Ghurd who makes up for his lack of strength OR balance with his time manipulation ability. Like with a dick, sometimes it's just the size of your power level that people notice and not what y'do with it. ^_^

As for annoying characters, I honestly can't think of any. Characters only become annoying when they aren't dubbed properly and end up turned into different characters altogether-- I've got plenty of THOSE to list.

LEAVE CHICHI, MR SATAN, YAMCHA AND CHIAOTZU ALONE!!!

Especially Chichi, it could have been worse, Goku could have married a Mary Sue and their daughter Sparkle Amethyst Kuririn Diamond Gohan would have been neglected by her mother, because their creator is a dumb brat. :D

Young Goten and Trunks annoyed the HELL out of me during the Majin Buu arc. Gotenks was hilarious, I'll admit. I enjoyed him. But the kids themselves, while unfused, were both little shits.

And I kept getting tried of Mr. Satan getting in the way all the time. I never really cared about what that guy was up to.

Same goes for Pilaf in Dragon Ball. Man that little turd was annoying.
