I think he counts as canon though

Ledgic. Don't care what anyone says, he was a boss. His dub voice was the smoothest thing ever and I could listen to him read a phonebook and it would sound menacing!

Pikkon. He's quite possibly the greatest example of "a hero of another story", that Dragon Ball Z has ever produced.

Pikkon, no doubt. His personality is so inconsistent though. Maybe they should write him as bipolar. Would love to see him and Piccolo interact.

Next would be Janemba. The fat form. ♥

And finally, Cooler. He's just...cool. I like the thought of Frieza having a brother.

Hard decision, I'll have to go with Towa. (She's non-canon right?)

I'd have to go with Bojack, though he seems to be a bland ass character in general. Doesn't really have much to say and just likes to destroy stuff because he can. Still, there's just something unbelievably cool about a powerful space pirate who had to be sealed in a planet by Gods simply because he and his cronies kept destroying shit. I really like his design as well.

For as long as I live, I will never understand the appeal of Mira and Towa.

You changed the title. Now no one can say Pikkon, Broly, Cooler, or Bojack. :(

Well, Toriyama designed him, but as far as "not appearing in the manga" goes...

I miss Gregory. Such a spunky lil' guy. I wish we could see more of him.

I find it hilarious when people are trying to type normal sentences and their combination of characters coincidently forms an emoticon.

I love the perfect contrast between Gogeta and Vegetto. They are both born of the same two characters, yet inherited completely opposite traits. This is especially impressive when you consider Gogeta's limited screen time. Gogeta has Vegeta's stern seriousness, but as shown when he smiled at the young ogre who was possessed by Janemba, he also has Goku's compassion and morals. Meanwhile Vegetto inherited Vegeta's arrogance and enjoyment of playing with opponents, but lacks real sadism, instead possessing Goku's playfulness and innocence. These combinations of traits forms two comepletely unique characters, instead of just a combination of the previous two. I like the way Multiverse characterizes Vegetto, that despite his incredible power and wisdom, his combination of arrogance and playfulness makes for an extremely immature person. The way the story is going seems to imply that Vegetto is like a spoiled baby and is going to throw a fit soon because he can't get a good fight. Meanwhile, I can picture interactions between Gogeta and the other characters where he shows himself to be extremely warm and kind, despite his seriousness. Overall when you consider their personalities, an argument can be made that Gogeta might actually be the superior fusion after all, overall and in certain areas. He could train and grow stronger while Vegetto remains overconfident, and he is much more efficient at dealing with opponents. Vegetto is likely the better strategist, but that just goes along with his natural advantages vs Gogeta's potential.

Whoever was in charge of movie 12 deserves real credit for perfectly characterizing Gogeta and making him one of the best movie characters in just three minutes.
