Broly. He's just a pile of muscles and retard rage.

Of the canon characters, I don't know. I tend to like all of them, or most of them, even the minor ones who don't do much in Z. Even Chi-Chi.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Canonically speaking, I would say Dodoria. He's a pretty heartless dude and ugly at that. Sure, he was useful in killing Bardock's allies and most of the Namekian population, but in the end, I think he was only a toss-aside warrior to Freeza. Plus, he gets killed really easily by Vegeta. His death is almost pathetic.

Non-canonically speaking, I would say Dolltaki. What a freak he was....need I say more?

She's in the manga so little almost all of her scenes ARE filler. And it shows, because Toei hates her.

The problem with ChiChi is that she's a decent, ordinary woman with commendable positions like "I want my child to get a good education and not get beat to death by evil burly men" trapped in a world where kidnapping, starving, and abusing a four year old turns you into a good person.

Completely agreed with the choice of "Broly."

Ugh. On his own he's not bad, which is why it's unfortunate. It's just the way he's been unduly hyped and overglorified by everyone and everything, even official parties. Now the character as a whole leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Hopefully not as bad as the taste in his fans' mouths.

At the risk of sounding like everyone else, I'm gonna say Broly. Lame character, lame backstory and horrbily overused.

But that's exactly what makes him such a great villain! You gotta love a character so despicable that it actually causes you to feel the hate of the Z-Fighters.
Aaha, but there's a distinction there. The character as a player in the story and a piece of storytelling is very well done- but that in no way stops me from hating his guts.

Yeah, I somehow found Kuririn deeply annoying too. I think it may have been the ol' "Ooh, a sexy cyborg kissed me, which is a big deal for a sexless moron like me! I won't kill you, even if it results in the genocidal murder of innocent people from a monstrous killing machine!" thing that Kuririn did in the Cell Arc. Yeah, that was what topped it off for me...

BTW, I'm betting that none of you guys wouldn't have even taken notice of Broli if it hadn't been for the bastardized Broli fanboys who believe that their beloved Legendary Butt-Munch could beat a Super Saiyan 3. I guess, when you hate the fans, you also hate what the fans are fanning for...or whatever.

-Every character,who want to conquer the universe,but its too weak to do this on his own,so he control much stronger character,in cheap way{like Paragas,Babidi}
-Android 19,Poorly designed coward
-Bacterian,the most disgusting being Mr.Toriyama ever created{It was so much pleasure to see,how Tambourine electoduced this creature :twisted: Even if that was anime filler only}
-Chi-chi,anime only,she was ok in manga
-Broly,i dont have anything about him in the Movies {I actually liked Movie 11}but as a video game character,he suck in every game!{Except Super Butoden 2} Too overpowered

Anime: Garlic Jr. I really don't think the Dragon can grant total immortality; such a wish should exceed his power. Stop the aging process, maybe, but also invulnerability? Plus, he was just flat out annoying, stupid (Dead Zones for everyone!) and his strength made no sense. He's weaker than Pre-Z Gohan, yet strong enough to be a threat after the Namek saga?

Manga: The Red Ribbon villain that Goku fought with Arale. Apparently I hate him so much that I never remember his name.

Well, between the Z-fighters, it must be Goten, Kid Trunks, Gotenks and Kid Gohan.

I hate how they're so overpowered.

I haven't seen the saga in years so I may be wrong, but didn't Garlic have some star that powered him up.

The Makyo star. I don't think the Garlic Jr. saga was all that bad. Sure, it didn't make too much sense canon-wise, but at least it gave some other characters the chance to do something.

Eh, it would have been cooler if Yamucha had had a chance to do something besides become a zombie. It still seemed like the usual Gohan, Kuririn, and Piccolo team up (a la the Saiya-jin fight and the Freeza fight) to me.

Freeza thanks to Toei, Gohan thanks to Toriyama.

I can't look at Freeza without a grimace on my face, and Gohan is epitome of uninteresting.

What did Toei do differently with Freeza from the manga?
