Which villain did Goku hate the most?

Post by Mr. Piccolo » Mon May 26, 2014 2:32 pm

Of all of the many villains Goku faced in his life, which one do you think he hated the most and why? I think this is a tough question, but I would have to say Piccolo Daimao, because Goku showed absolutely no mercy at all toward either the Demon King or his minions.

Any thoughts?

I think he means Goku and not the villain and that it is just a bit confusing written. Broly hated Goku but not vice-versa.

Goku: Freezer for killing Kuririn before his eyes. He turned Super-Saiyajin because of that.

Piccolo Daimao no doubt, he was absolutely livid with him and showed no mercy what-so-ever.

He showed mercy against Freeza because he was more mature I guess.

Wow I'm a dumbass. I agree that he hated Piccolo Daimao mostly. He killed everyone Goku like the most. He wanted revenge

Piccolo Daimao for sure. This is actually an easy question.

It's pretty obviously Daimao. He was completely berserk and blood thirsty when facing him and, unlike Freeza or Vegeta, who also murdered a lot of Goku's friends, he didn't just want to beat Daimao, he wanted to kill him.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

In the moments after Kuririn's death, he didn't know about Daimaou and definitely hated Tambourine the most.

He didn't like Frieza, Cooler or Piccolo Daimao very much and shown no mercy to them. I'd say Piccolo Daimao and Frieza are equally the ones he hated the most for killing his best friend Kuririn. :)

How did he not show mercy to Freeza? You sure you remember how their fight went?

I'm aware of Goku giving his energy to re-energise Frieza to show mercy that he doesn't want to fight him anymore. He somehow killed him and his father in a alternate timeline.

Freeza

He wanted to break him...... like a kit-kat bar.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Still perhaps one of the best lines in Abridged.

But I have to agree, he hated Piccolo Daimao the most, specially since he destroyed Shen Long and with him, any hope of bringing his friends back to life.

I'm going to say Freeza. He's the one that made him go SSJ after all.

Piccolo Daimao. I remember the scene where Goku saves Chi-Chi and Gyumao from the soldiers on his way to Metro West. He was really amped up and determined. Plus he kept telling Piccolo the battle would end with one of them dead.

EDIT: I think this is because Piccolo was the first villain who really was just ruthless, powerful, and not obviously flawed in such a way that you're sure he'll lose (i.e. Commander Red, Pilaf, and Tenshinhan to an extent). Here was Goku's first real experience where he felt guilt or responsibility about death, having lost Master Roshi and Krillin in situations where he could have helped (not to mention getting beat up himself). Daimao was the first villain who was just irredeemable, and we all know how Goku gets when someone challenges him.
