Most Overrated Characters

[dbzfan7]

Please don't just say one character because people over hype their power with the obvious being Broly. You can mention it, but keep it brief. I'm talking about people who hype these characters to death, and yet you feel they really aren't that great.

For me it's Future Gohan and Bardock.

I hear time and time again how badass and awesome these two are when I just don't see it. They get their asses kicked and then they die. Tons of fans mock Adult Gohan for not being like F. Gohan. All F. Gohan did was lose his arm, teach Trunks, and die. Not very badass in my opinion. I see the tragic appeal, but badass, not really. He wasn't really a good fighter either as his increases weren't that good. For Bardock he just killed a bunch of people, saw his imminent demise, got his ass kicked by Dodoria and then died at the hands of Freeza. I mean they are both cool, but people hold them at the pinnacle of awesome for some reason.

I suspect Future Gohan gets a lot because the anime version boosted him quite a bit.

[Fizzer]

Those two and Broly are probably the main ones for me. None of them have enough screen time to have a real personality, Broly doesn't have a personality at all, yet people seem to think they're amazing badass characters. Those three are hugely over-hyped and Kuririn, Yamcha and Raditz are hugely over-bashed.

I find fan's obsession with Gohan in the Buu arc very strange. I guess I understand it, they're clinging onto the small things that make him near the level of 'cool' he was at the end of the Cell arc but I just don't see it.

Oh and Broly, he is just absurd.

I LOVE BARDOCK HOW DARE YOU. Just kidding. Bardoc does get praise a lot. But I do like him.

Future Gohan. Never seen what's so good about him. I hate how people say that he should of what Gohan been. Gohan loves studying. Not his fault he wants a normal life. Not to mention the anime makes it much worst.He fights evenly with 17 and 18 and even have the edge. Future Gohan did nothing really badass. All he did was act like Gohan from Namek. He also failed to get a lot stronger I'm guessing.

I said Bardock was cool. Just that people overly praise him as the pinnacle of badass when I really don't think he's that cool.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Broly, Tenshinhan and Mirai Gohan are probably the most overrated characters. Bardock has a lot going for him so I can see why he's liked so much. I myself am a fan.

I'll say he got MASSIVE balls. I mean dude flew into space. Literally. He charged up and flew into space and fought fucking 5000+ men by himself. I see why people think he's Badass. I respect your opinion though.

Tien. Aside from his first appearance in the 22nd Budokai, he never does anything important ever again until the Cell Arc, where his role could have been just as easily played by plenty of other characters. His character arc is over way too quickly, and a great opportunity for a lingering rivalry with Yamcha was tossed aside, resulting in, IMO, an ultimately boring character.

[MCDaveG]

Brolli is obvious, but as much as I like him, I'd say Rubber duck.

[TheOverlyMadHatter]

Super Saiyan 2 and Ultimate Gohan. In both scenarios, it's an instant power-up, they start acting like big shots until their opponent outsmarts them, and in the former scenario, he just drops to his knees and wallows in self-loathing. Loses use of his arm? "I can't fight anymore". But hey, that Gohan's just ten, so I can cut him some slack. Even so, I feel he gets some undeserved praise. I at least give credit to Ultimate Gohan for not doing that when Buu started dominating.

Tenshinhan. Aside from his first appearance in the 22nd Budokai, he never does anything important ever again until the Cell Arc, where his role could have been just as easily played by plenty of other characters. His character arc is over way too quickly, and a great opportunity for a lingering rivalry with Yamcha was tossed aside, resulting in, IMO, an ultimately boring character.

I never see him get praise anywhere, to be honest.

For me it's Future Gohan and Bardock.

Eh, I kind of like that Gohan better than his present counterpart. Not because of the whole "this is what Gohan should've been like" argument (which I wholeheartedly disagree with; people should be able to do as they please in life.), but it's just because he never gave in until the end, unlike in the scenarios pointed out above. Granted, I find his death to be a bit lackluster in the manga, but that's one of the things I think Toei actually improved upon, in my opinion.

This.

Gohan chokes in the Cell arc and gets his dad killed and then chokes again causing Vegeta to swoop in and help his sorry ass. Then home boy slacks off for several years and gets his ass beat by buu...sweet...gets an insane power up...and then gets promptly absorbed Do not understand why people love him so much lol he's always just been a whiny waste of potential in my eyes. ...If I were Goku I'd def stay in other world too!

Broly...again agreed...what is it that makes him so popular?!

Goku fucks up with Raditz and if it weren't for Gohan he would have screwed everyone on earth, lets Vegeta go which almost fucks over earth if not for Freeza going to Namek, Goku costs the Nameks their planet by not killing Freeza right away, once again would have screwed over earth if he didn't get lucky with the Yardrats teleporting ability (could possibly be avoided with the Dragon Balls), Could have long stopped the Cyborg threat before it started but didn't care if peoples lives were sacrafised as long as he got a good fight, Doesn't tell his plan to Gohan and doesn't ask him about fighting Cell like he should have so things would have gone better, causes Boo to be reborn like a moron, allows Boo to live on a stupid idea that someone else should handle a problem he caused, and single handedly got everyone on earth killed. Did I miss something?

Yeah, be equal opportunity lol who else don't you like? Piccolo's kind of jerk sometimes. Yamcha could have trained harder...why the Goku hate?

I showed Goku hate because there was Gohan hate. They both fuck up and neither should be treated terribly when there are usually reasons for each situation.

I love Goku, he's equal to Gohan as my favourite as they each balance out qualities I like and hate about both of them. I point out Goku's fuck ups as he screws up as much if not more than Gohan does. Gohan isn't as big a fuck up as people think he is when compared to Goku. But that's also why we love Goku. He is a terrible hero, but is also awesome as he wants to become the best he can be, no matter the cost. He is also a really nice guy who comes off as an asshole because that's who he is. He doesn't try to be mean but that's just how he is. And just like how Goku's friends want to get angry at him like most would, we just got to love the guy anyways because of his heart and personality.

[Kakarot88]

Oh got ya my Gohan hate is just being glib, we each have our favorites, but Gohan's just not mine and I think he's overrated, but not as much as Broly -_- Gohan was actually my favorite for a brief moment when he was beating on the Cell Juniors but right after that when he did not blow up Cell and Goku died I was pissed so I switched back to my 2 main favs Vegeta and Goku, fair weather fan and all that

I also think Bojak is overrated...he just did not seem that menacing...Gohan just beat Cell and this space pirate shows up who is what exactly? K bye BOOM!

[CaBrPi]

Chaozu, because people tend to go on about how useless Yamcha is, when at least Yamcha did something that affected the plot.

I have no problem with people not liking Gohan, I dislike when people hate him as a fuck up when the others have fucked up as much if not more than him. There are other perfectly good reasons for not liking Gohan. I hate how he randomly became a pacifist out of nowhere. I hate how he didn't train even a little bit. I hate how he has so much potential and he squanders it. I like Adult Gohan and SSJ2 Kid Gohan, but other than that I don't care for him as he wasn't that interesting until SSJ2, or when he got his own life as an Adult instead of being a character who couldn't do too much besides hang out with Krillin.

But Yarg he be Bojack the pirate! He seemed to be only there just so SSJ2 Kid Gohan could kick his ass as well as his minions as a broken mirrior to the Cell Games.

[RandomGuy96]

In terms of being a "cool" or "badass" character? Broly, Cell, SS2 Gohan. All of them were boring as shit.

In terms of being a good character? Goku.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Umm Goku's objectively a great character. I don't even know how you call yourself a Dragon Ball fan when you say Goku has a poor character .
