This, I could care less for those 2 at all, besides saying that because they're females isnt exactly right, I mean Bulma's been pretty much all over the place and Vados is one of the most powerful being in the multiverse.

Why would they? What significance could they even have?

Unfortunately, 18 and Videl are at the end of the queue. If we go by what most fans seem to want, I think it's Gohan or F. Trunks first, then Beerus, then Hit and Cabba , and then Piccolo, and then the kids.

If you seriously think 18 and Videl don't have a fanbase you must be completely ignorant as to what's been going on in the Dragonball fandom over the last 20 years.

I don't care much for Videl, but I would love to see more of 18. They could give her a filler episode where 17 visit with his family.

Blooma and Chi Chi are the only female characters who have a fanbase to speak of as far as i know. Maybe they have a fanbase but a very small one which nobody cares about.

I suppose it's because it's only hardcore fan's that will buy sexy female figures, so they don't focus much on them in the anime, because the kids like seeing the males fight it out. An in story reason would be they are both busy raising their kid/family because if you think about it, Gohan and Kuririn get the same or even less attention now. Especially Gohan, I'm pretty sure he's the house wife in the family. Gohan even missed the tournament with U6 and was supposed to be training, but in that filler arc with Pan they completely ignored it like nothing changed.

If they have a fan base to begin with, it's safe to say someone cares about them.

So you think that Videl and 18 have no fanbase, yet you think Chi-Chi is a popular character? What crazy shit are you smoking, dude?


Anyway the reason is because Toriyama has a bad habit of turning female characters into housewives even if it in no way fits their character. It's extremely annoying. Talk shit all you want about GT, but at least it made 18 cool again for the Super 17 arc. (Even though the arc still kinda sucked)

Sorry for the multiple posts. Site bugged out a bit for me. If a mod could delete the duplicate posts that'd be great. (Because I cant. :? )

First learn to respect somebody's opinion and second Chi Chi is a popular character in Japan.

I'm not disrespecting anything dude. Besides, it's nothing to do with opinions at all. To say Videl and 18 aren't popular is simply factually wrong.

Also... Chi-Chi is popular in Japan? Uh.... Why? HOW?!

Yeah you are right i take back my words there are fans who care about them. But in Super where major players like Gohan and Piccolo aren't getting much attention do you really expect Videl and 18 to get even the least bit of focus? I highly doubt it.
