Which characters would you have liked to see? Of course Launch is the first name that comes to my mind but who else would you have liked to have seen?

If you are talking about the anime then that would be filler.
What I meant was which DB characters should have played a canon part in Z.
They don't have to have big roles, they could have background roles like Chi Chi or Bulma.

Does Lunch count even though she technicly is in Z?If yes then definitively her.Also, Tsuru-sennin, Tao Bai Bai got a filler cameo but he didnt.
Ummm And I´d loved to have a Pilaf and Co. cameo somewhere.

Lunch, Tsuru-sennin, Chaozu (okay he DID appear but barely :(,) Pilaf and Co, etc. Tsuru-sennin and Pilaf could've AT LEAST appeared during the Genki Dama thing. They hated Goku but I don't think they would've neglected to share their Genki considering it was either that or potential death (and no I don't think either Tsuru-sennin or Pilaf are evil enough to have stayed dead after Polunga's mass-resurrection, sue me.)

Bora and Upa - yes I know they had a very minor scene at the end of Z but thats even LESS screentime then Lunch had.

But if we're not talking about the anime, then there is no split between the beginning of the series and "Z", Viz aside.

We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Lunch, definetly Lunch! Although I think they might have overused the sneezing at the worst moment gag, she would've been fun to have around for a few extra scenes. I don't know why the anime crew chose to show her in such a bad light in Z :(

Probably only Lunch.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Other than Lunch, probably Pilaf and his goons, though not as major villains. I'd just like to see them make some sort of cameo for a few minutes, see what they're up to, because they kind of drop off of the face of the earth after Piccolo Daimao. I'm not sure why, but I think it would have been amusing.

Bora, Upa, Lunch, Tao Pie Pie and King Piccolo (He should have just returned somehow).

I've always wanted Pilaf and co to follow the heroes around sometimes, be stowaways on their ship to Namek so they could try to take over the world with the Namekian Dragon Balls... that's all I can think of.

... I was thinking Namu / Pilaf.
Because Namu's awesome. And Pilaf's ... ur... Goku's arch Nimesis. :D

Something as simple as Pilaf briefly appearing while people gather the DBs to resurrect Goku would have been amusing. XD

Of course... I guess I was thinking the anime, hence why I didn't think of Lunch.

I can understand Pilaf, but I think Tsuru-sennin was evil enough to have stayed dead, since he trained assassins, tried to kill the entire Kame-sen School when he found out just one of them had killed his brother and tried to kill his former pupil for betraying him.

On-topic, I would've liked Lunch to have remained in the series post-23rd TB. I'm not sure about the Pilaf gang. For some reason, I'm not sure whether or not they'd fit, since the series had gone past the point where gag villains that posed no threat would actually matter or be funny.

And Tao Pai Pai and Tsuru-sennin. Between them, they pretty much only have two appearances in the series. But again, how would they fit now that all the heroes have become so much stronger? Would they even try to kill the heroes again knowing how strong Tenshinhan had gotten (I think Tsuru-sennin saying to Tenshinhan that they'd kill him someday or something after he defeated Tao Pai Pai was just out of spite)? They'd probably just pop up, try to attack Goku, Tenshinhan and anyone else who stood in their way, only to be knocked out by one of them, and then that'd be it.

So I guess the pre-23rd TB character I'd like to see post-23rd TB that wouldn't smell like filler would be Lunch.

Well to each their own but assassins aren't NECESSARILY evil, though they usually are. If Tenshinhan assassinated some villainous CEO would you consider that evil? I think the thing that really pissed him off about Tenshinhan was that even though Tao Pai Pai turned out to be alive, he refused to get revenge on his "murderer" back when they all thought he was dead. He spent all that time training his pupil and then he refused to get revenge on his younger brother for him. I'd be pretty pissed too. Hell, he didn't know how Tao Pai Pai got killed. Considering Tao was his younger brother and he was killed by a student of his lifelong rival he may have assumed Kame-sennin told him to do it or something and wanted to kill everyone to hurt Kame-sennin.

Android #8 and Snow. I wish those guys stuck around. They didn't have much of an appearance in DB in the first place, but they were cute characters.

Huh? I dont know who told you that lol. Android #8 is an android for the Red Ribbon Army supposedly made by Gero (Dr. Frappe in the anime) but he didn't want to be evil or kill things. Snow is just a girl Goku met in the snow when his plane crashed. They had nothing to do with each other until the end of the Muscle tower stuff when Goku brings #8 back to Snow's place to stay.

Edit: On second thought, they were still shown together giving Goku energy for his Genki Dama. He's likely just a friend or a sort of pet like character to snows family. But I suppose it's possible they could have become a couple since we last saw them in DB. :shock:
