Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
In my opinión, Mr. Satan takes this. Why? Because he always takes the credit of Goku and his friends´hard work. I know that thanks to him, Gohan transformed into a SSJ 2 because he threw android 16´s head to him. And he also helped in the battle with Kid Buu... So what? I still hate him... Anyways, what are your opinions guys? Ohh, Raditz will have to be my second and the last one, yamcha.
Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
I actually like Mr Satan. I like the idea of this shameless self promoting pro wrestling figure who everybody thinks is a scam, but he really has a good heart, and ironically has been the catalyst for helping save the world (allowing Gohan to go SSJ2, being the reason they could build the spirit bomb). It's kind of unique.
My worst character would probably be Yajirobe. He serves no function that any other character could have performed. He drags the King Piccolo saga. He's just there. He only even gets a pass because he cut Vegeta's tail off, and even then I feel like that could have been handled better. Like imagine if after Yamcha died Puar just gets pissed and travels to the battlefield and by the time he gets there Vegeta's an ape and he does a repeat of cutting off the tail. So much better.

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
I'd disagree as well. Mr. Satan's an asshole, but he does play his part. Also, in Dragon Ball history the worst would have to be Chaozu. He literally does nothing for any of the characters. Not a goddamn thing.
Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
I'd probably say the most "useless" character is Yajirobe. Sure, he's saved the day before, but he's basically a failed replacement for Kuririn and his interesting personality quirks were done better with Oolong anyway.

Practically every one in GT.. Not even a joke. I'm not fond of Slug. He's the worst for the movies for me.

I can't think of a single moment when the characters fought for credit or recognition; perhaps at the tournaments, but only in the most abstract sense.cesarcoronel07 wrote:In my opinión, Mr. Satan takes this. Why? Because he always takes the credit of Goku and his friends´hard work.
Also, Gohan and Vegeta in the Saiyan and Freeza arcs.

Appule.
I know this is controversial, because he's really popular, but IMO his personality quirks were done better in other characters, and he didn't do anything. He had no real effect.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. 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.

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
If movie characters count, then I'd definitely have to say Android 13, simply because he just doesn't have a character in the original Japanese version, and his dub personality is...well, not quite as amusing as it might first appear. Still can't blame FUNi for doing it though because frankly they had to do something with the character.
Besides him, hmm...it's hard for me to say, because even the characters I dislike usually have their place, and even a few moments where I like them. Since some people are going with certain ages or arcs though, definitely Gohan all the way from his introduction up until the Cell Games. He slowly got better, yes, but for the most part I never forgot his whining up until that point.

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
Personally, I've never been too fond of Yamcha. In Dragon Ball he's okay, I guess, but in Dragon Ball Z, he just gets in everyone's way. I can't think of one thing that Yamcha did in Dragon Ball Z that was the least bit helpful.
I've never really liked Chaozu all that much either. Like Yamcha, he kinda tends to get in the way a lot. Usually not much help in major fights. I love how he's portrayed in TFS, though.
As a child, I hated Mr. Satan. He was EASILY my least favorite character but now, as an adult, I've kinda grown fond of the 'H'-Word. His antics are just funny. He serves as successful comic relief AND he actually contributed to major battles in the series, despite being incredibly weak in comparison to the Z-senshi.
As far as villians go, I really hate C19 and C20. I guess I don't really hate their characters, necessarily, I guess I hate them more aesthetically. The terrifying Cyborgs debut as a fat mime and a crusty old man. No thanks.

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
When you say worst character, do you mean characters that you just hate, or bad guys that if they were never born, would have made the universe a better place. If it's the latter, King Cold obviously.
Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
Mr. Satan is amazing! Shame on you!
I don't particularly dislike any of the canon Dragon Ball characters, but if we include non-canon stuff, then Broly takes this easily

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
It has to be Kaioshin.
1. Useless
Ever noticed that Kaioshin's one of the only characters that can be taken out without negatively effecting the turns of events? In fact, the whole Majin Boo conflict wouldn't have happened at all without this supreme fuck-up. All good he did was save Gohan's life even though him nearly dying was his fault to begin with. Otherwise, he must as well have a M on his forehead and work for Babidi given all the help he was.
2. Pussy
Sure in his introduction he seemed badass but as soon as the actual Majin Boo shit came into play he reveals just how much of a bitch he really is. For start, he had absolutely no faith in the Saiyans or himself. He was fretting over guys that would be fodder during the Namek/Freeza Saga. Hell, I think even Nappa could easily beat Pui-Pui. Not to mention during his fight with Majin Boo basically all he did was give him a breeze.
3. Idiot/Selfish
By god, I can't believe how stupid this Kai is. He lets ALL of Babidi's plans come into fuition ranging from letting Spopovich and Yamu steal Gohan's energy to standing around and doing nothing as he decides he must immediately stop Babidi. He never bothered to stop Freeza for no apparent reason and he left Majin Boo's shell on Earth, which is possibly the worst planet to leave anything of value unintended and this is a shell in which he was afraid would be broken and revive Majin Boo by mere vibration (which in itself makes no sense since he knows it needs energy to be broken at all and a shell that's able to lock up such a beast naturally should be strong). Even worse is how he never bothered to keep check of the Earth. The final nail on the coffin is how he knows absolutely nothing about the Saiyans. Okay, you know who Freeza is but you don't know shit about Saiyans, who have far more history than that fucking transvestite and was even enslaved by said transvestite for a good 3 or 4 decades. What sorry excuse of a god of all creation not know that? Really wished Vegeta would have wasted his ass. I could honestly go on and on about examples of his stupidity but just writing about this character makes my mind squirm.
In short, Kaioshin is the worst character in all of Dragon Ball and quite possibly in all anime history. He might even be one of the worst fictional characters ever written.

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
I think Yajirobie is pretty useless and is worse than Chaozu which is pretty easy to beat. At least Mr.Satan has done some really important things and without him Videl never would happen... All he ever did was cut off Vegeta's tail and he was a coward whenever it came to fighting. I also can't call on Yamucha because I love him and Gohan because he used to be my favorite character.

Re: Worst character to ever exist in Dragon Ball History...
Yajirobe gave Goku assistance after being beaten by Piccolo Daimao which probably saved his life and carried him all the way to Karin, which allowed Goku to eventually Defeat Piccolo Daimao and save Earth from his rule. Not only that, but he also intervened in the Saiyan arc and cut Vegeta's tail, making him revert back to regular size, saving the gang and probably the entire Earth.TheKingOfKamehamehas wrote:I think Yajirobie is pretty useless and is worse than Chaozu which is pretty easy to beat.

Therefore, his contributions are directly linked to the salvation of Earth on two separate occasions. That's a lot more than Chaotzu has done.
And as a character he is pretty fun and a joy to watch.
