What are your favourite Dragon Ball characters (lemmy.world)

My favourite DB character has got to be Perfect Cell, I find his design striking and eye catching on almost any manga panel, game series and anime.

Literally perfect in the truest sense of the word. I'm sure there are a lot of people who like frieza but frieza despite being a good character didn't appeal to me as much as Cell did.

A goodie I'd choose Gohan, the lad has gone through trials and tribulations and has managed to overcome those odds by himself with the support of family and loved ones, something that resonates with me. This includes cool desigs like his beast form which I thought was visually striking.

What about you? What are your favourite characters and why?

Finally, someone asking the questions that really matter!

My favorite is Piccolo. I liked Piccolo Daimaoh in DB, he made a good villain but his offspring, the Piccolo that carried on to DBZ, I fell in love with that character. The design is great, the personality, and all his arc until the Cell saga. Sadly he quickly falls into the background after that.

I know he gets the orange version nowadays but I haven't checked out the movie or manga for that matter. I'm not a fan of the 3d style art for the franchise at least not for animation media.

Piccolo gang represent

Also my choice for best character. Watching him develop from enemy, to rival, to friend, to eventually mentoring and becoming a second dad to Gohan was great.

And yeah, it's a shame that he eventually becomes fairly irrelevant as the story goes on (like most of the non-saiyan fighters)
