I'm wondering how some of you people ended up with 45 or 47 characters in your lists.

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
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.

Well, looks like it definitely put my favorites near the top--I figured Piccolo and Buu would end up in the top two spots, and then there's Roshi, Beerus, Cell, Mr. Satan, Piccolo Sr., Popo, Tenshinhan, Yajirobe, and #16 up there too.

Appropriately enough, both the guy who's named Satan and the guy basically is the devil came in tied for #6. And the very first battle Android #19 showed up in was against Chiaotzu. The weird pale clown doll family reunion. XD

Code: Select all

1	Piccolo
2	Majin Buu
3	Master Roshi
4	Beerus
5	Cell
6	Mr. Satan

25	Trunks

The fact that TripleRach's list has Oolong and Pilaf in the top spots just fills my heart with glee for some reason.

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.

Well, i had some time so I gave it a shot.

Rankings by which character I liked best:
Spoiler:
Decently accurate, especially in the top several. Only real problems I noticed was the Announcer being too low and Goten being too high.


For fun, I made a list based on choosing which character would win in a fight. I had certain eras set in mind, so I specified next to them. This is what I got:
Spoiler:
Pretty accurate, I think. Most questionable ones are probably the bottom few.

Top five!

4 Majin Boo
5 Mr. Satan

Pretty damn accurate for me, all my favourite characters. For Majin Boo I was thinking of Fat ol' Mr. Boo.

Yeah, that was pretty accurate. I had some very hard decisions through that one. I'm so confused as to why Kibitoshin and Kaioshin were separate, but Boo's different forms didn't get separate inclusions or why future Trunks and present Trunks weren't separate. A lot of my decisions were made harder by that.
