Ginyu, for the comedy factor, over such others as Murasaki. I just can't stop giggling when I watch him and the others dancing around with their poses. That, and he has the dance of joy. :D

Freeza, just because he is a bonafide VILLAIN, and has the most awesome backstory in any part of the series, that with all the retcon basically spans the Goku's life wether he is around or not. And all those transformations, it wasn't so annoying until Cell and Buu starting shapeshifting repeatedly. He also owned Kuririn twice.

Baby, being one of the small number of elements of GT that I really like, a villain with what I believe to be unrealised potential, mainly due to a kind of watered down plot. Same as Freeza in that his story kind of spans the mythos in more than a "been around for millions of years but only decided to show up now that we can stand up to him" way.

The Freeza and Baby argument could also be applied to Cell and Li Shenron I guess, but I just prefer the above characters.
What does the scouter say about his blood alcohol level?

Wow, thanks! :D

Most of my favourite villains end up becoming good guys: Piccolo, Vegeta and 17. As a major villain though my favourite is Cell, he's like an unstobbale force of nature. I mean this in the sense that he pretty much starts out as some sort of carnivourous hunter as if he were a Lion stalking a Zebra and later evolves into so much more.

Hirudegarn. Because he is a badass, got killed by an awesome attack and has cool powers and backstory.

Cooler. His intelligence and badass fifth form.

Buuhan. Hilarious and super strong as well as able to outsmart even Vegetto (the candy beam could have worked if Vegetto didnt retain his self).
Simian upstart...none surpass me. No one even comes close! BURN THIS INTO YOUR MIND! I am emperor of the universe. The likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet. Or better still...to be crushed...LIKE AN INSECT AT THE WHIM OF YOUR MASTER!

- Freeza, DBZ Kai.

It's mainly going to be DBZ for me since I don't like GT and I haven't watched dragonball in years and forget what happened ( I am going to watch it in a week or so though).

5.Android 17/18. They would toy with people, taunting them to attack. Then would blast them.
4.Vegeta. He came to kill Goku and Destroy the Earth, Amazing Fights happened, he was a brutal villian that was set on killing whatever.
3. Buu (all forms other than fat buu). Evil, Amazingly powerful, Would absorb enemies to take out the competition and make himself more powerful. He was just evil, but would just give a absolute beating to whoever attacked.
2. Freeza, Destroyed planets, Self-proclaimed ruler of the universe. Cocky, yet smart, but also very evil and extremely powerful.
1. Cell. He was the smartest villian in my opinion. Super evil, would taunt others, would absorb enemies to make his complete form. He was smart,cocky and malevolent. I loved the cell saga.

WHY?
Because they are the only villains in Z who just wanted to do the classic "take over the world" thing, every other villain in Z (Buu, Frieza, Cell, etc) just wanted to blow it up or destroy it. (and I'm not counting any villain in GT or DB)
