The most embarrassing moment for a character

Post by Godo » Tue Nov 17, 2009 8:13 pm

I would like to discuss the most embarrassing moments of the Dragonball characters. Please state why you pick your choices too, to give some substance to this thread. :)

Krillin: It must have been when he fought Dracula Man, and no matter what he did, he screwed up in the fight. And that after boasting about how strong he was.

Goku: A tie between his bad judgement over Gohan's will to fight Cell, and when he begged for help against Android 19.

Tenshinhan: Apart from the belt-trick Goku pulled on him in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, it must have been when Goku saved him for a 2nd time against a villain, when he had given his all.

Piccolo: It has to be almost everything that has to do with Gotenks, really.

Yamcha: Oh, boy, where to start. We have to pick between:
- Getting a tooth punched out by a kid
- Seeing Bulma naked on two occasions
- Getting his ass kicked by a mummy (after boasting)
- Losing in any chance he has got in the finals of the Tenkaichi Budokai.
- His death by the hands of the Saibaman
- Him getting cold feet when he heard of the Androids.

I think that I have to go with the 4th point there, with his fight against Shen as a clear winner.

Bulma: When she showed her p*ssy to Kame Sennin.

Yajirobe: When he tried to become a friend of Vegeta in the middle of the fight. And also the senzu bean incident.

Karin: He stated that he knew of everything, just to be told that Shenlong has died. Knows of everything my ass.

Kami: When even Goku could figure out that his plan to kill Piccolo wouldn't work without Kami dying too.

Vegeta: Almost all of his fights, really.

Freeza: When Krillin sliced some meat out of him with his Kienzan.

Cell: Getting kicked in the head so hard that he puked.

Buu: Pretty much his whole fight with Gotenks.

Blue: After successfully stealing the dragonballs and tying up Goku, Kuririn, KameSen'nin and Bulma... gets beat up by the one thing that disgusts him more than mice: a girl. :D :D :D

Piccolo? Seeing the Great Saiyaman? :?

Future Trunks: Warning people, even going back in time to the exact moment... and still just standing there and letting #17 and #18 destroy the remote and Dr. Gero.
On second thought... Let's just say "everything after his second trip to the past". D:

Cell: "Hahahaha, let's make the kid mad so he'll give me a better f--CHIKUSHOU!". Nice job, Mr. "Perfect". :)

Vegeta: "Crushed and broken beneath an unconscious, naked child..."

And... just to get it out of the way:
Most everyone: FUNi's season3-4.

Goku: When he let go of Raditz' tail. That fight could've ended a whole lot better....

Goten & Trunks: When they're facing off against Buu as Gotenks and defuse in the middle of the battle.

Gohan: Being afraid to fight during the battle against Nappa. Granted, he was only 5....

Vegeta: His attitude towards Broly following his LSSJ transformation in Movie 8. I don't hate Movie 8 like some of you do, but this is one part of the movie that exasperates me a lot....

Blue: After all the trouble he gives Goku and his gang, he gets killed in a mere instant by a tongue. That's the most embarrassing death in Dragon Ball in my opinion...

Bad Man. :D
I enjoyed how much of a laugh Bulma and friends got out of Vegeta's "variety of flower" outfit.


Also, there's a likely chance that in the Trunks' timeline, Vegeta may have faced Freeza while wearing that pink shirt/yellow pants/green shoes combo. I can only imagine what type of verbal banter preceded that fight. X3

Krillin: at the 23rd TB, he's talking about how tall he's gotten. Goku enters, easily 2 feet taller. It's even worse in the anime.

And he never quite recovers.

Most other things I can think of have been said, such as Badman and Trunks+Grandma action, but I can think of, for Trunks and Tenshinhan, both saying "I'm going all out in a suicide attack to kill Nappa!" and failing epically.

Well, Goku only knew because Mr. Popo had told him.

I think what's even worse is that Yamcha died by one blowing up on him, meanwhile Kuririn survives against Nappa and Vegeta despite his massive beatings.
Vegeta: Doing exactly what Goku would've done and getting smacked down for it because he's not ~Goku~...
Goku lets a battered to the brink of death villain escape for multiple reasons.

-Piccolo was left to live because of his connection with Kami-sama and the Dragon Balls

-Vegeta was left to live because Goku was overwhelmed by the fact that even with his training, he barely survived and had to have his friends help while nearly getting them killed. He wanted to fight Vegeta when he got stronger.

-Freeza was left because Goku believed Freeza's pride was ultimately destroyed and that with his pride gone, he would not be able to fight anymore.


Meanwhile, Vegeta let Cell absorb #18 because he wanted to see just how much stronger Cell could get despite him having already having the ability to beat Cell.

... This must happen in some form now. :D :D :D :D
Justification for BADMAN Vegeta in the inevitable next fighting game...!
Or... I'm... sure it wouldn't be difficult to edit some closeup scenes to pretend this happened in a youtube video. :?

Goku: Transforming into a SSJ despite his knowledge of the heart disease, and then getting beat up by a squeaky-voiced clown

Kuririn: Still remaining one of the shortest characters in the series, shorter than Goku and Gohan, even though he's older than them

Tenshinhan: Goku taking off his belt in the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai and revealing his boxers

Yamcha: Getting hit in the balls by Kami-Sama

Bulma: Winning the "Being seen naked by male characters for the most time in the series apart from Goku" award

Chi-Chi: Being pat-patted on the crotch by Goku

Yajirobe: his scaredy-cat moment in the Vegeta fight, and then getting the piss taken out of him by Kuririn

Vegeta: The Badman shirt. And pretty much all of his fights where he's been epically owned due to his own stupidity

Kami-Sama: Becoming practically useless as a God after all the Z-Fighters in the series surpass him in strength

Freeza: Winning the "character most mistaken for being female" award

Cell: Goading Gohan into becoming angry so he can have a good fight, only to get his ass well and truly whooped

Boo: Getting his kiss rejected by that girl

Trunks: Travelling back in time to fix his past, only to discover that his timeline remains as fucked-up as ever still

Chaozu: Just generally being a weak, useless bastard

That was the instance I was talking about.

But that's a really, really stupid decision too.

Goku didn't attack his own son to help Freeza reach 100%.
