Piccolo because he can act as a mentor to the boys while still being a badass fighter, and the boys because they wre really underused when they both had tons of potential
Weren't those three already the main characters for Dragon Ball for like a 1/3 of the Majin Boo arc?

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.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I don't think three will be a realistic in terms of who they focus on, but my picks would be:
-Gohan (originally intended to assume main character position)
-Android 18 (underused character that could be explored)
-Goku (main character)

I definitely want Piccolo, Vegeta, Time Patrol Trunks and Krillin mixed in there as well.

I'd like for characters to have arcs, so the main characters switch around to develop people. Kinda like in a comic where story arcs can switch perspective.

Gokû (he's in the brief summary so I know I've already got him. :mrgreen: )
Beerus (because more Beerus is always fun)
Vegeta (because of his interactions with Gokû)

Goten
Goku
Gohan

Main supporting
Vegeta
Beerus (sadly)
Pan

Supporting
Whis
The Kais
Piccolo


Make the Son family the main focus. The lack of Goten and Goku interaction is wasted. EoZ interactions was amazing. Gohan can be nerd of the group.

1. Son Goku and Vegeta
2. Beerus and Whis
3. Uub/Pan/Jaco

But if I must choose strictly 3, then:
1. Goku
2. Vegeta
3. Whis(Uub isn't a very developed character yet)

Son-Goku, Vegeta, and Beerus/Whis. If it is after Z, replace Beerus/Whis with Oob.

Oh wow... this is hard. I can't decide because I want Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Uub to be the 4 main characters...
If I absolutely had to pick one to not be a main character I guess I'd pick Beerus, but only if he still showed up a lot and fought when he needed to.
Overall I would want Uub to be the main character by the end of the series, sorta paralleling Gohan's development but not throwing it away in the last arc.

Damn, quite a few people are choosing Beerus to one of the main characters for Dragon Ball Super. And I have to say... it's quite flattering. :P

Also, I find it quite ironic that people complain about Goku always being one of the main focuses of the show, yet many people seem to want him as one of the main characters of Dragon Ball Super. Although, I think it all really depends on when specifically the show is set.

I just want a sit-com esque thing with Beerus and Whis. With 1 or 2 other characters visiting each episode. Goku can have maximum 2 minutes in each episode(even if he's visiting B&W) of screentime, which will primarily be showing him eating. That is what i want.
