Favourite Unnamed Character

Why? Well, why not?

The Dragon Ball series is known for its many colourful, memorable characters spanning a vast array of personality types. Some of them, sadly, don't have an (official) name but some of us love them just the same.

Maybe it's a particular Freeza grunt, or a by-stander during one of the Tenkaichi Tournaments. Hey, maybe it's the King of Earth himself, or Bulma's mother. Perhaps they appear in one of the movies, or, most likely, it's Earths greatest champion of all: Farmer with a Shotgun.

For my money, my favourite unnamed character (at least on screen) is the oracle from the second and third Broly movies. I like his design, his charms and trinkets and his constant chanting. I find his being used to bridge the two movies interesting (would anyone have cared if they had just said someone found Broly) and I like his all-too-brief interactions with Trunks and Goten.

Well, that's me, but what about you?

Its a tie for me between the sunglasses-wearing, Tenkaichi Budoukai Announcer (his personal involvement in the tournaments, how he knows what's really going on with Cell's defeat), and Bulma's mom (for her amusing interactions with Bulma, Goku, and Vegeta).

ANNOUNCER. Who else?

I'd say my vote goes to the Tournament Announcer. He's just a really fun character. He watched and gave commentary on most of the major fights in the original DragonBall. In addition to that, he knew who really won the Cell Games, he watched Majin Vegeta murder a stand of Tournament goers, and Goku and Kuririn even managed to remember him after so many years of not participating in the Tenkaichi Budokai. (I believe Piccolo to some extent did as well).

This guy's pretty cash, but I don't know if he has a name or not.

It has to be one of the two first henchmen of Freeza's that Krillin and Gohan fought, the one with the moustache.
I wonder what his BP was and also his backstory. He seemed a little sadistic. Was it his father's drinking and constant abuse that made him that way or an upbringing so tied up with rules that made him go berserk and thus leading to him defying all kinds of moral thought?
Was he a good friend with his comrade? Did they share bread like brethren?
I guess that I will never know.

The Cell Games and Tournament Announcers. The dub version of the Cell Games announcer, specifically, because he was so cheesy, it was awesome.

The crab that spits bubbles at Gohan in episode 2 of DBZ.

Seriously though, the Budoukai announcer. That guy will continue his coverage no matter what.

Well he has to, or he won't get paid. He's all about the Zenjamins!

Wow, that was a horrible pun!

I'm gonna have to say the Lion that chases Gohan in some of the early episodes from DBZ. I enjoyed the antics those two had, especially when Gohan chases after him when he stole his hat.

Ah, the Saber Tiger. He's actually in the first episode of both DragonBall and DragonBall Z, sort of as a running gag. In DragonBall he chases after Goku in his first appearance, and in DragonBall Z he chases after his son Gohan in his first appearance. I think it's kind of a nice touch on Toei's part as those are filler scenes.

Another missed opportunity with GT. Where are we at now, 9,937?

@jjgp:

Cell Games announcer = Jimmy Firecracker.

He is my favorite character.

I'd have to agree with everyone else and say the Budokai announcer.

Another favorite of mine is Bear w/ Mutha F****n Sword!

Lol I meant Tiger, I guess since I was watching a video on YouTube that had a lion in it, I said it instead. Either way, the Tiger is just goof and I love it.

I like the random soldiers posing with Captain Ginyu, and especially the weird looking one on the far left doing what I call "Spirit Fingers".

I love the Budokai Announcer, but I also want to mention Dr. Brief's cat because it's cute. X3 (Wait... does that cat have an official name?)

The Tournament Announcer, or Boss Rabbit.

Boss Rabbit's a name...

I think I'll agree with every one else and say the Tournament Announcer, Lime's Grandfather because he fought well against Mercenary Tao and Farmer with Shotgun.

The Frammer, and The Budokai Announcer.
