Favourite Female Character in the Dragonball Universe

Post by Garlic » Tue Dec 21, 2010 2:51 pm

I would like to know who your favourite character is in the entirety of the Dragonball universe. Personally I'm going with Artificial Human 18. She was the only female in the series who could be insanely strong along with Zangya and Selypa.

Hmm.... I didn't really like Hachijuu-go...
My favorite female character would be.... Videl. I don't know why, but one of my favorite scenes in the anime was when Gohan taught Videl and Goten how to fly.

There was already a thread like this a while back: http://www.daizex.fanboyreview.net/view ... +character

But my favourite female character's Lunch. Her blue-haired self was nice, but her character really comes alive when she switched to her aggressive blonde persona, which led to some comical moments. I was disappointed that Toriyama just wrote her out after the 23rd Budokai.

Plus, she's really hot.

It's actually jûhachi-gô / juuhachi-gou. When counting from ten to nineteen, the "ten" part ("juu") comes first, followed by the secondary number that adds to the ten (in this case, "eight" / hachi).

My favorite female character is probably just Bulma. She's got smarts, know what she wants, knows how to get it, and stays relevant far longer than other female characters :/.

Chichi. With a husband like Goku, she has to have the patience of a saint. I know she loses it quite some times, but I don't blame her.

Toriyama-sensei didn't mean to write her out, he just forgot about her existence entirely.

Well, I dunno. In the second chapter of DB Volume 17, when Bulma asks where Lunch is, Kuririn replies that she went chasing Tenshinhan five years ago and they haven't seen her since.

My favorite female character in Dragon Ball would be Lunch.

I love her personality when she is nice and naive and then she goes all violent when she is Blonde Lunch. She is great comic relief too which is a bonus.

I do miss her in Dragon Ball Z.

Yes, that is true... Most of the sources I visit state that Toriyama-sensei forgot all about her... but the theory that he just didn't want her in the manga is also acceptable.

For me, I'd say it's Lunch. She's just flat out hilarious switching between her two alternate personalities, and it made for some great humor during earlier chapters. I still wish we knew exactly what happened to her while chasing after Tenshinhan, outside of the anime filler of course. It was nice to see her reappear in the JSAT special, though.

Yeah. Funny, considering he kept in characters like Oolong, Pu'ar and Sea Turtle.

ChiChi. She’s tough, takes no crap, is a good mother and somehow manages to put up with Goku. And she’s pretty cute.
I like all the female characters though. Lunch is a second favourite.

I am going to go with.... Mrs. Briefs and i will tell you why. She doesn't have a name however, TeamFourStar did give her the name "Milf" which i would have to agree with. :lol:

My avatar may clue you in. (I feel like I have made this exact post before) Anyway, I really like her character design...the shape of the eyes and her hair.

Lunch. She's the only main female character that doesn't annoy me in one way or another.
