Tienshinhan is in my opinion, but I might be confusing Nobility, with honorable.

I think this speaks for itself

Future Gohan to me. He tried his absolute best to save the day like his father. Even though he lost an arm he willingly sacrificed himself to save Future Trunks and he knew it was time to fight them one last time and try to at least bring one of the Androids down with him.

He knew he had no chance to beat them both but he fought them anyway, knowing that hopefully Trunks would be strong enough to take his place and beat the Androids once and for all. He willingly trained Trunks as well as Earth's last chance to survive.

All of this is pretty noble to me...my favorite type of Gohan by far.

Kuririn. Except of wanting to learn at Kame Sennin's to get girls at first, and wanting to save 18 because he fell in love with her, all he ever did was to help others. No matter how much the odds was against him, he never stopped doing the right thing. One thing I will never forget is how he went all-out on Boo, even when he had 0 chance of surviving, only to save some time for the others to escape.

Probably future Trunks, I can't think of something he did which wasn't.

Yeah same. 2nd would have to go to F.Gohan, & Piccolo 3rd.

Future Trunks most certainly. One of the only cosmically powerful characters whose main priority is actually saving the world, and very willing to put himself on the line. Also hyper-respectful of those around him.

Future Trunks, without a shadow of a doubt. His desperation to save his world while trying to save as many people as he could in another world is something that has to be respected. Plus, he was only the character in entire Android/Cell arc that had his head screwed on, never lost focus of what his goal was and didn't act like an idiot.

Does Vegeta count as noble ?

I'm seconding the guy who said Krillin. The little guy really doesn't get enough credit.

Kid Goku, he was (and still is) pretty much innocent. Couldn't tell the difference between male and females and would always help those in need.

Future Trunks is the only one who never really thought for himself. When he screws up it's not because of being selfish like Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, etc. Future Gohan comes at a close second as he threw away everything to try and protect the world. However he like his present self is still an utter moron, but for different reasons.

I'm amazed that no one mentioned kami or popo. They are definitely two of the noblest beings in the series

I would say Tenshinhan because he is willingly to sacrifice his life for his friends

Krillin. He's got serious balls. Sure, he's made some impulsive decisions, but he's always there when they need him. He knows that he's extremely outclassed by the newer enemies, yet he always puts up a fight.

Following what people said about Future Trunks, I would say Bardock is among one of the noblest character. Unlike other Saiyans (or King Vegeta's case with Tarble), he chose to send his son to another planet with the intention to save his life (and indirectly saving the Dragon Ball plot).
