Pan (her GT depiction), Gil, Zoonama, Para Para Brothers, Doll Tocky, Sugoro, Mecha Cannon Sigma, most of the Shadow Dragons...

I could list so many.
It's not that I don't like dubs or anything, but every single one of those characters is made worse by an annoying voice. Especially Pan and Gil.

:shock: Why you hate on Goten!? He's the GOAT.
I hate him very much. Most likely for the same reason why I hate Gohan. Goku's children have very failed personalies and they are lack of honor, but posses unusually big power. Being Goku's sons it's a shame what they have become as adults. Gohan could be a more genial martial artist due to his IQ, and Goten could be even stronger than Mystic Gohan if he would train instead of hitting on girls.

As for reasoning:

Goku: I love him just because he has an incredible instinct to make the best possible decisions, although he isn't typically smart. If he has, he fights, is he hasn't he is able go away. And he allways has an optimistic point of view.

Piccolo: I like him for his wisdom and relaxing personality.

Vegeta: I like his evolution as a character, and it's very believable.

Cell: The best villain ever created, strong but relatively smart and relaxed.

Beerus: I like his personality as a whole.

Future Trunks: I like his power of will to change his destiny! And he definitely has a goal.

The most hated are Gohan, and Goten, they were mentioned why.

As for Present Trunks: I don't like his behaviors.

Vegetto: A cocky bastard. I don't like him for some reason.

Freeza: The worst villain ever created. Unusual big power, but inability to make a good decision.

Buu: A failed super-villain just because he is fool, even being Mystic Buu(Gohan absorbed).

Whis: I don't like him because he's too mysterious, and being the strongest, he should know much more about the universe.

GT Pan: She is third of the most hated, for the same reason like Gohan and Goten.

Other characters are neutral to me.
English is not my first language!
I'm still waiting for Dragon Ball in Super...

Fans seem to ignore the face that half-saiyans generally don't enjoy fighting as much as full saiyans do.

I don't think it's that they really don't like fighting so much that they want to have actual lives. All Gokuu and Vegeta literally do is eat, train and sleep.

Favourite: Goku (Daimao onwards), Gohan (less so during Cell Games), Vegeta, Imperfect Cell, Piccolo Daimao, all forms of Boo, Mr. Satan, Videl, Goten, Trunks, Gotenks, Kuririn.

Disliked: Freeza, Perfect Cell, Vegetto... I wouldn't say I hate these characters, but dislike fits.

Curious: what do you like about Goten and Pure Buu so much that makes you want to put them on your favorite characters list?

And you don't hate Freeza? I'm pretty sure you've outright said "I hate Freeza" at least once before...

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.

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 find Goten adorable, and in a way he's like a kid Goku done right. Actually being a kid helps somewhat. For Pure Boo, while I don't like the stretch of the story he's in, I find him very entertaining. His chaotic behaviour, bizarre fighting style and his manner when he blows up Earth all stick out to me. I also think his design is pretty good, even among the forms of Boo. Gotenks-Boo will always be my favourite design among them, though. Oh, my favourite list might also be a bit too inclusive.

I don't hate Freeza, I said that in the past but it's become apparent to me that I don't hate any fictional characters. Hate was just too strong a word.

I posted my thoughts way back when the thread was originally created, but I figured a list wouldn't hurt, which I didn't make.

Favorites: Son Goku, Kuririn, Lunch, General Blue, Uranai Baba's Ghost, Tenshinhan, Butta, Majin Buu, Gotenks. For anime-originals, I'd go with Coola, Naise, Janemba, and Giru from GT. All either had great development within the story or did fluctuating levels of cool things.

Least Favorites: Son Gohan, Raditz, Vegeta, Dodoria, and Zarbon for manga characters; Baby and Gogeta for the anime. All are either incredibly boring or frustratingly annoying. Man, most of the things related to the Saiyans... it all takes itself so seriously and feels the most un-DB-like.

Why do you dislike Bulma. To me, I actually like her, but it's her personality and some of her fans I have a problem with.

I don't dislike Bulma. I'm ambivalent towards her (hence why I said "to an extent"), and I was just naming a bunch of characters that grind my gears with the dishonorable mentions.

Pleas stop with senseless bashing of DBZ. I know some people who prefer DB and dislike DBZ. But seriously dude. It's to another level with you no offence. Your name is "ThatDBZGUY" and yet all you do is bash the damn series. DB isn't flawless and neither is it's two "Sequels". I will like to tell you that DB and DBZ are one. You can't have one without excluding the other. Since they're the SAME manga in the series. So please I'm begging you to stop bashing on DBZ on a DRAGONBALL website publicly or keep it to yourself. Seems like every post you make is to bash the series. Makes me quite sad to see this on a DRAGONBALL website.

I'm almost afraid to ask, and I'm not criticizing you at all - but what exactly leads you to put those two in the most hated section whereas a character like Bubbles makes the favorites?
