Obviously the most hated character on this board is probably Broly and its all justified :evil:
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!

I don't "hate" anyone, but I'm not a big fan of Broly, at all. Not much to say about him that hasn't already been said.

I guess I will be the first to say Nappa. Please feel free to disagree, but I for one was annoyed by his character from the start. It's hard to describe, but I feel like he is my most hated evil henchman. I guess I don't HATE him because once he died I was truly entertained and felt all happy inside, haha. :D

Nappa isn't much more than, say Zarbon. He is just an obstacle who will be overcome to show a character's progress.
So, he is pretty much a plot device, to show Goku's growth, just as Zarbon was a plot device to show Vegeta's zenkai, which makes it harder for me to hate the character.
But I understand fans who do hate him though.

Broly. No need to explain.

Again, I pretty much agree with Rocketman on all things Chichi, especially when you consider that she really wasn't even all that overbearing in the manga. I mean, she was definitely an education-minded mama, but she didn't act like a complete loon about it. And most of what she does is entirely legitimate in terms of raising a very young child. It just so happens that Gohan is not an ordinary child. Or at least, he was an ordinary child (other than the fact that he seemed extraordinarily gifted) until he was forced into circumstances against his will that made him different. In fact, that's why his assertion to go to Planet Namek is one of my favorite scenes simply because there is no definitive right answer. It's one of the few fuzzier moralities in the entire series. Chichi is totally justifying in freaking out. Her child is five. She hadn't seen him in an entire year. When she does see him again, he's in need of hospitalization. In the meantime he'd lost an appendage, seen people brutalized and murdered, and was savagely beaten. His developmental growth was being stunted. And now, as soon as he's back and safe, he wants to go out into outer space (where, coincidentally, he ends up once again seeing people brutalized and murdered and is savagely beaten) to help rescue his kidnapper, a kidnapper who, last time she'd seen him, was trying to murder her fiance and take over the world. But now that Gohan has gone through what he's gone through, he simply can't be the same child he was when he left. He's lived on his own for six months. He's learned to be independent. He's gone through experiences most adults don't have to face. He's awakened a huge sense of responsibility in himself. And telling his mother to shut up is really the only thing he can do at this point. They're both trapped in their respective roles. They're both right. So, honestly, Chichi gets far too much undeserved flack.

Yeah, please guys, enough of the Chi-Chi hate. It was only the anime that turned her up to the bitchy extreme. It's just because the plot is centered around "grr, get stronger, fight bad guys" that whenever a mother actually opposes to her son getting in danger fighting mass-murdering space aliens and androids, she's portrayed as a bad guy. If you went through the shit she did as a mother, you'd understand.

I don't hate Chi Chi, but I didn't like how she refused to let Gohan train but she snuck Goten out to train. That didn't seem fair.

Chi-Chi had probably mellowed out by that time, and been so affected by Goku's death that she'd changed her outlook on fighting and realized that there needed to be warriors in the world. I think the anime did something like this when Gohan thought about it.

Well yeah, but why didn't she let Gohan train? Goten said she took him out while Gohan was studying, and Gohan seemed shocked by this. I mean, if Gohan is the at-the-time strongest fighter on Earth and she suddenly realizes that the world needs fighters, she should let Gohan balance training and studying. I'm sure Piccolo would've loved to spar with Gohan.

Remember that Gohan actually wanted to be a scholar. It wasn't Chi-Chi forcing him to do anything. She was only encouraging him. Yes, she likely influenced him, but that's what he wanted to do. If Gohan wanted to train, he would train. But he didn't, so he probably just focused on his education and didn't count on a djinn stronger than Cell coming to Earth. I don't see Chi-Chi training Goten, then being a complete bitch and stopping her other son from training when he had the time.

So basically all of the Z-Warriors apart from the Saiyans and Piccolo? Why? :?

Chazou I can understand as he became useless after his first appearance. But Tien? Krillin? Even Yamcha? (the guy who has the worst luck ever)

Tenshinhan is the man. I dislike Pan and Broly.

What!?! Tenshinhan dedicated himself to keep up with the unfair handicap of transformations!
I hate Goten, what an unfair character, "ooh, look at this Gohan, SSJ!!" F*ck him!
I also dislike Gohan most of the time until he becomes "mystic".
Last but not least, Chi-Chi! For obvious reasons.

EDIT: Pan! She is useless whiny piece of trailer park trash! Harsh but it's the truth.

I really don't see why people hate Chichi that much.
I mean, she was (quite understandably) a were-bitch when the landed to check on Goku and Gohan after they had fought the Saiya-jins, but after Gohan screamed at her, she even packed his bags and let him go to Namek without much more hassle.
Then, she let him train against the Androids (of course she didn't approve at first, because she didn't understand the sheer magnitude of the Androids' arrival).
After that, she doesn't make that much of a big deal of Gohan fighting Cell (although fooled by Goku).
In the Buu Arc, she mostly approved of everything, because she had finally understood what happened in those fights and why it was important that everyone strong enough participated.

Chichi knows better than to try to teach Goten anything. The only thing in that boy's head are the crayons he's shoved up his nose.

I'm not really one of those people who hates characters, but that fat redhead mom of the boys Goten and Trunks easily dispatched of in the Tenka'ichi Budoukai Junior Division really got on my nerves!

Other than that, I can't think of anyone.
