Character #105

<=Colonel Silver=>


Likes: I seem to remember doing this already. *confused*. I mean... he takes things coolly, doesn't rush in and try to smash things (See: using a net against Gyu-mao / Ox King), blew up Kento'un, and chased down Pilaf's fortress (Anti-Air expert~? ^_^ ), and decided not to fight Goku to the death; even with the threat from Red in the manga, there's nothing to confirm the man's dead! And his FUNi voice is a plus, too.
Dislikes: After he was dishonorably discharged from the Red Ribbon Army, apparently... what, ran off, got drunk, and... umm... joined up with Piccolo? (See: filler where Piccolo has random humans doing his bidding to save their own necks. :P ).

Character #106

Cargo


Image

Likes: As cute as his brother.

Dislikes: 0 importance to the story beyond showing what a dick Freeza (or Dodoria) is.
To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death.

I got the blue screen of death while doing this, so I had to go and add the characters and bold and italicize everything again. Not fun....

For future reference, it’s actually not spelled either of those two ways. It’s either Yi Xing Long (in proper Chinese, the way it’s meant to be) or Ii Shinron (in its Japan-ized form). Shen Long is of course in reference to the Dragon God, Xing Long (what all the evil dragons in GT are referred to as) is in reference to how many stars they have; it means Star Dragon, so Yi Xing Long would be One Star Dragon.
I had forgotten that the Shadow Dragons names were in Chinese in the original version. Thanks for reminding me. :wink:

*Fixes error*


I guess I'll do another character. I'll add him to the list so I won't have to later. :wink:

Character #107

{.:Pigero:.}

Image

Likes: A very bold character who fights for what he cares for, the orphaned children. He was an interesting character from what I think is one of the most underrated episodes in Dragon Ball Z. From the beginning to the end of the episode, he doesn't stop fighting for the orphans, and will stop at nothing to keep the orphans away from the adults trying to take them to a presumable fate at the orphanage. At the end of the episode though, he finally has a revelation of where the kids really should be, even if they will be sucked into the harsh realities of the real world. An overall cool character in my opinion, and the perfect caricature of someone we all as small kids would've looked up to as a role model.

Dislikes: At the end of the episode, it still irks me when he punches Gohan, even though he realizes where the kids need to be. A typical moment there, what with the "punch, kick, or slap back into reality" cliche you always see in shonen. Other than that, I have no dislikes about him.

Of course, probably the only reason I don't like him punching Gohan is because Gohan is my favorite character, so I'm a little biased there.:wink:

Note: I won't be able to do an update tomorrow. I have to be elsewhere for something important. Expect a big update in 2 days!

Character #108

Mr. Popo


Image

Likes: Smarter than he looks. Gives insight onto power and trains Goku.

Dislikes: Looks like a stereotype, and his Japanese voice really doesn't help his appearance.

Character #109

Super 13

Image

Like: He look awesome, he was like a robot version of Broly. His battle sceens in the movie where awesome to watch.

Dislike: His death was lame, and his dub voice was pretty bad IMO.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Broly was partially based off of his second form, making him essentially a prototype of Broly.

I know I've heard that somewhere....

Character #111

Suppaman



Image

Likes: IT'S FREAKIN' SUPPAMAN!!!! From Dr. Slump, he made a cameo appearance in Dragonball. There's also... from a fan point of view, a more buffed version that looks like him in the Tenkaichi Budokai episodes (I forget which one.)

Dislikes: Only shows up once... that I know of and remember. Also I wish they'd put him in some of the Dragonball video games. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Character #112

The Child of Kattasu


Image

Like- A lost child-turned-god-turned-devil-turned-savior who's life changed the entire direction of the story though we never really meet him. Yes, we meet an approximation when Kami and Piccolo refuse, but he's still without all memories of his prior life. From this single individual come Kami, Daimaou, Piccolo and the Dragonballs themselves, the deux ex machina that named the series and instigated everything that comes after. But we don't even know his name. I'm more fascinated by this character than any other in the series

Dislike- Only that I want to know more and don't know it o_o I'm left endlessly with more questions that may never be answered.

Character #113

.:West Kai:.



Image

Likes: His constant bragging and arguing with North Kai (King Kai). Best part for me was when West Kai and and the other Kai's sang the dead song to King Kai.

Dislikes: He never did much except just brag. I kinda wish there would of been more screen time with him arguing with North Kai.

Shouldn't that just be Artificial Human/Android #13? "Super" 13 was the same character, just after a transformation.

Anyway, one more from me tonight... sort of.

Tell me if you don't want to allow this. This is a 3 in 1 sale, cuz let's face it, they belong together. They also had a single entry in the Daizenshuu character list. So they aren't just random nobody-cared types like the guy #19 and 20 messed with before Yamcha found them. Also, two of them did get named in the games later (Tsumuri and Mai-ma). So, here we go-

Character(s) #114

Namek Soldiers


Image

Likes: They were Namek patriots. Two-three times as strong as the average intergalactic badass, they stood their ground. They kicked ass and didn't bother with the names, and mopped the floor with everyone but the heavy hitters. If the greatest of their number had been present (Nail, whom Velasa has already posted), Freeza himself would have had to step up. Each one of them was basically Piccolo from the Saiyan battle, in terms of power.

Dislikes: Fricken Dodoria clowned them. I guess one of those barometers to show the stakes, but guys who (working as a team) could have possibly brought down Nappa where shown to be utterly helpless against the major players of the Freeza Saga.

I guess I'll allow them as one character even though technically it's 116 now, but if it was in the Daizenshuu, I'll allow it.

So don't count them as 3, next poster. Next character is #115.

Zephyr wrote:And that's to say nothing of how pretty much impossible it is to capture what made the original run of the series so great. I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Like: He look cool, he was a good idea for a conpect, and he smokes a cigar.

Dislike: He only appears once.

Character #117

<=Dr. Gero (Jinzōningen #20)=>


Image

Likes: He created the Red Ribbon Army's most deadliest weapons, the Androids. Later after the fall of RRA he seeks revenge on Goku and friends in the craziest way possible! He changes himself into android, spies on Goku and friends for years, collects their DNA, kidnaps to twerps from the street, turns them into deadly Androids, and creates a giant bug like clone abomination. Even after he dies he teams up with Myuu and create Super 17 to destroy Goku yet again. Talk about holding a grudge. For a villain he's is pretty damn cool.

Dislikes: You know for someone who was supposed to be a super genius he's really, really stupid.

"I kidnap these two juvenile delinquents and changed them into Androids against their will. They will surely obey my every command! Nothing could possibly go..."

"Blast! They try to kill me. I had to shut them off not destroy them and start all over with newer specimens. No, that would be too reasonable. I just have to fix a few things here and there, add bomb here, reprogram a few commands.... Much better, now to make sure I keep a remote detonator near by. They are incredible powerful and fast but I'll be ready if they try something stu..."

"Blasted it all! Android 17 and 18 betrayed me! How could I have known that this would happen?!"

"Ah, Dr. Myuu a fellow scientist I can relate too. What's that you say? You hate Saiyans too?! Well we should combine our superior knowledge to build a replica of Android 17, and send him to earth to fuse with the real 17, huh? Yes the one that betrayed me before, combined they he'll destroy Goku once and for all. And since we're now friends Dr. Myuu, I know you'll be my side. Even though you're obviously in hell for being evil you certainly wont betra..."

"WHY DO THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!!"

Character #118

The Sabertooth Tiger


Image

Likes: He was in the first episode of DragonBall and DragonBall Z. Both times to (perhaps) show the personality of a new character. Goku thought it was a blast getting chased by the tiger, he fucking loved it. Gohan on the other hand was paralyzed with fear. The funny thing is in DragonBall the tiger, who we knew didn't have a chance (based on Goku's actions) eventually ran right off a cliff. In DragonBall Z we felt like Gohan didn't have a chance and he was the one who ran off a cliff.

Dislikes: He didn't show up in the first episode of DBGT.

Also I'd like to add, I think we should have this go past 200 and see just how far we can go. Can we get to the point where we say "Well, I think thats everyone...". Is it possible?! This Kuribo wants to find out!

Character #119

Muuri


Image

Like- For an asexual old man, this guy's got balls. Completely outclassed and outmatched but he busts out there and blows up all the scouters that've been used to hunt his people down like dogs. He dies brutally but comes back to become the new spiritual leader of his entire people (I can never spell that word right). He also looks pretty sweet with classy golf hats on.

Dislike- I wanted to see how he ends up once he's taken on these responsibilities, but you never really see him again.

And Tanooki- totally seconding that. It sounds fun :D

Character #120

Sì Xīng Lóng (Nouva Shenron)


Image

Pros: Has a sleek, cool design, had it in his heart to save Pan and despises the idea of killing young children and Women.

Cons: Was killed by his brother within a few episodes, too bad, he could have been a great Ally to Goku.

PS: I'm with Kanooki to see how high up we can go. To truly see how many characters there are in the Dragon World! 8)
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Character #121

#16


Image

Likes: He's very much like #8 in a way except that he DOES wanna kill Goku. I always liked it that he would only speak or act if it involved killing Goku :lol: But he did do a nice job against Cell. Even though it costed him his "life" at the final act.

Dislikes: Nothing really? His haircut perhaps? :lol:

Character #122

<=Piano=>





Likes: Seems to be pretty loyal to Piccolo Daimao, and kinda gives off an air of superiority because of this; he helps break down the barier between Pilaf and Co and Piccolo, making it clear that Piccolo is not the comical bumbler that Pilaf has become. And his FUNi voice finally gets the "High and mighty newcomer with an awkward accent" thing right (I'd say he's better than Blue, but they are two rather different characters. Heh.).

Dislikes: His entire purpose is to sit at Piccolo's side and say everything Piccolo won't. And his death reaked of "We have to get rid of him here; might as well have it be colateral". I suppose to be fair, his death shows his loyalty to Piccolo over his life (since all he had to do was dodge... or I don't know, move somewhere not so close to the epic city-destroying battle?).
