Forum Who is the best hero?



I just had this idea because I always wondered: Who would be and who was the best hero in Dragon Ball? So I had an idea: why not do it in a comical fashion, respectfully of course, while making sense and just having fun with it! I hope this can continue to grow and as I said, respecting you're fellow contributor's opinion, have fun! (I have begun with Goku, place whoever you want and add reasons, pictures and quotes like I will) SSJ4Ichigo 21:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Reasons why Goku is better

Goku Saiyan

How Goku takes tough battles - seriously

"I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you! -Goku facing Frieza as an awakened Super Saiyan"

  1. He mastered the Kaio-Ken technique, which the inventor King Kai could not do.
  2. Can utilize the Spirit Bomb and has used it several times to save planet Earth.
  3. He mastered the Master Roshi Turtle school of combat.
  4. He can perform the instant transmission, taught to him by the Yardrats.
  5. He gave his life twice to save the world.
  6. Was the first to transform into a Super Saiyan in over one thousand years. Also ascended to Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, Super Saiyan 4, and Super Saiyan God.
  7. Was considered a low level Saiyan warrior at birth, but became the most powerful pure-blooded Saiyan in history. Even as a child he has always had many years worth of experience when it came to fighting and as an adult he had instincts and strategy that surpassed some of the greatest warriors.
  8. Goku executed hundreds of Red Ribbon Army soldiers, Tambourine, King Piccolo, Yakon, and was responsible for the final defeat of Majin Buu. In Dragon Ball GT he destroys Baby, Super 17 and Omega Shenron. In the movies, he also kills Nicky and Ginger (Garlic Jr's. henchmen), Dr. Wheelo and his Bio Warriors (Misokatsun, Ebifurya, and Kishime), Turles and all of his men (Amond, Cacao, Daiz, Rezun, and Rakasei), Lord Slug and Angira and Medamatcha (Slug's henchmen), Cooler, Super Android 13, helped finish off Broly, fused with Vegeta to kill Janemba, and killed Hirudegarn.
  9. He always gets stronger after being beaten (Zenkai).
  10. Puts up with Chi-Chi (seems impossible).
  11. The only thing that ever killed him for good was a heart virus (alternate timeline).
  12. Thinks only of others, never himself. Goku's good nature is contagious, as he reforms hoodlums like Konkichi just by being friends with them.
  13. Always shows mercy to even his greatest and deadliest enemies.
  14. Even in the hardest of battles, Goku can crack a smile. When he gets horribly beat down, he just gets right back up and laughs.
  15. He has an extraordinary appetite far surpassing that of humans.
  16. He performed the Kamehameha wave in one try when he was only 12, something that took Master Roshi "50 years". He also completed Korin's training regiment in 3 days when it took Master Roshi 3 years.
  17. He has been champion of both the World Martial Arts Tournament and the Other World Tournament. Through the years his actions have earned him the universal title "greatest person in the universe". He devoted his life to the epic journey that revolved around the story of powerful beings trying to destroy worlds.
  18. He convinced many of his enemies to become his allies. Some of the most brutal warriors were reformed as a result of his guidance and friendship. (Examples: Piccolo, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Vegeta)
  19. He's the strongest fighter in the universe at the end of DBGT. He can keep up with the strongest villains while exhausted. He fought for an entire day while in ssj4 which uses up a lot of power being a transformed state. He fought and defeated Nuova and Eis shenron, he spared Nuova, and then fought Shin. He later obliterated Omega but Omega regenerated. He's a fusee of a super strong hero.
  20. After becoming SS4, his raw power is able to temporarily undo a wish on the Dragon Balls (Pilaf's wish).
  21. His heart is totally pure, shown by his immunity to attacks like the Devilmite Beam, as well as being able to ride the flying nimbus.
  22. He has been in every movie. He appeared in the most media out of all the characters in the DB universe.
  23. He maintains a childlike innocence, even as an adult.
  24. He taught some of the most powerful fighters ever.
  25. He's creative such as when he made the pepper pot rhyme to get timing right on merging energies. He's observant shown through his ability to know his enemies movements, weaknesses, and how a technique is performed sometimes copying it. He even surprised Oceanus by imitating her technique.
  26. He is merged with Shenron, the wish-granting dragon of Earth.
  27. He survived a planetary explosion when he fought Frieza on Namek before it was destroyed.
  28. Elder Kai, the great elder of all the Kai race, and the God of Gods, gave up his own life to bring Goku back to life and empower him once again. If the God of the universe sacrifices himself to bring Goku back, you know that Goku is one reliable hero.

Reasons why Vegeta is better

SSJ Vegeta

The "Super" Saiyan Prince Vegeta

"The sleeper has awakened. I am the prince of all Saiyans once again!"

  1. He was one of the most enduring characters--he could take punishment and keep going like a badass. The best example of this is seen in Vegeta's fight with Kid Buu, the sight of which leaves Kid Buu himself in extreme shock.
  2. He executed the most number of villains in the entire series, and ruthlessly. (This includes: Zarbon, Dodoria, Cui, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, Guldo, Nappa, Android 19, Pui Pui, and Saibamen in the series; he also executed Android 15, Cooler, Dr. Raichi and Hatchiyack in the movies.)
  3. He's the best anti-hero in the history of anti-heroes. He is one of the Z-fighters who underwent the most positive changes during the series (especially Dragon Ball Z). From a cruel, sadistic villain killing without hesitation (sometimes even for fun, and even killing his comrade), he evolved to a hero caring for his family and friends, as well as his arrogance had also decreased, yet he still kept his spirit and attitude of a real warrior. He starts off careless and mean, then becomes nicer and less angered.
  4. He is the Prince of all Saiyans. He never declared himself King of Saiyans after his father had died out of respect for his father.
  5. He was the second Super Saiyan in the original timeline and the third in chronological order.
  6. He got to nail Bulma (very lucky bastard). His daughter Bulla is hot like her mom, His son Trunks is very powerful like him.AND He is connected to the richest family in the world through his wife, Bulma.
  7. He has the most serious and determined personality out of all the Saiyan characters. His desire to surpass his opponents and always maintain superiority makes his thirst for battle greater and his connection to Saiyan royalty more firm. He has an indomitable pride, even when faced with certain death.
  8. He blew himself up against Buu in order to save the world and his family and friends. Although he sacrificed himself "only" one time (Final Explosion), he was ready to do it other times (for example, when he told Goku to throw the Genki Dama at Kid Buu, when he knew that he would die because of it as well). He even risked dying when he was dead already, taking the risk of being obliterated once and for all from the universe.
  9. He sold his soul to Babidi to gain the Majin strength to beat Goku, and to regain the evil edge needed to provoke Goku into fighting him.
  10. He always gets stronger due to being beaten (Saiyan gene).
  11. He acknowledged with honor and respect that his life-long rival, Goku, is stronger than him (Took him long enough, though).
  12. Gohan wouldn't have been able to finish Cell without his help since he blasted Cell, distracting him, and allowing Gohan to eliminate him with his Kamehameha wave. He is the only one who had managed to inflict severe damage to Perfect Cell before the Cell Games began.
  13. He risked his existence by fighting Kid Buu on his own in order to buy time for Goku to power up as a Super Saiyan 3. He also risked his life and fought Kid Buu on his own in order to buy time for Goku to create the Spirit Bomb itself.
  14. Goku wouldn't have been able to finish Kid Buu without his help as Vegeta was the one who came up with the entire plan to wish back the earth and its residents in order to use their energy to create the Super Spirit Bomb.
  15. He has a mind for strategic thinking that puts Goku to shame most of the time. His Saiyan pride helps him overcome obstacles, such as becoming a Super Saiyan.
  16. He had the best lines, quips, quotations, remarks, etc. He said the most popular line in DBZ history.
  17. He has been Goku's deadliest rival since the day they met; and his best sparring partner. None of the Z warriors could actually beat him in a duel, and he wasn't defeated even by teamwork, surviving the Spirit Bomb as well, he was defeated by sheer luck when the Great Ape Gohan accidentally fell on him.
  18. He skipped the SS3 form and went directly to SS4 (with a little help from Bulma).
  19. He has some of the most powerful and devastating energy attacks in the series (Galick Gun, Big Bang Attack, Final Flash, and Final Shine). Unlike others, his inventions of techniques and energy attacks are mostly unique to him and aren't used by anyone else.
  20. He saved Krillin and Gohan's lives several times on Namek. He has saved Goku's life many times in the movies such as Return of Cooler, Super Android 13 & Fusion Reborn. He also saves Gohan's life in Wrath of the Dragon.
  21. It was his idea as a SS4 to fuse with SS4 Goku creating SS4 Gogeta.
  22. He is relentless. Every time he is defeated (Goku, Zarbon, Recoome, Frieza, Android 18, Cell, Majin Buu), he never gives up and always comes back with a vengeance. Aside from his genetics, he never quits, never stays down, and always finds a way to strike back at the opponent, making him completely dangerous and a relentless warrior.

Reasons why Piccolo is better

File:Piccolo 2-1-.jpeg

Calm, Resilient, Determined, Honorable, and Gohan's mentor.

"I am the Namek that has long since forgotten his name..."

  1. He's very serious.
  2. He sacrificed himself THREE times. First for Gohan, who was the son of his ex arch enemy, Goku. Then, the time he took Frieza's Death Beam to save Goku. He even sacrificed himself for the planet Earth, which he decided to perish with in order to avoid Dragon Ball usage in the future.
  3. He receives the most emotionally moving and psychologically enigmatic death scenes in both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. First, when he sacrifices himself to save Gohan against Nappa. And second, when he dies with Planet Earth, the planet he had grown to love, after explaining the necessity of his death to a highly sentimental Gohan.
  4. He reformed from a villain to a hero and became one of the strongest Z-Fighters. He also understands the psychological differences of being both.
  5. He trained Gohan to become a powerful warrior and continued to remain his closest teacher, ally, and master in the art of combat. He also trained Goten and Trunks in the time of peril.
  6. He's the most important non-Saiyan main character of alien descent in the entire series.
  7. He's the smartest, most meditative, and probably bravest and most sincere character.
  8. He fuses with Nail to become substantially stronger. He also fuses with Kami to increase his strength to become a Super Namek, which is stronger than a basic Super Saiyan!
  9. He executes Raditz, Salza, Neiz, Doore, Sansho, and Wings. He also halves Babidi.
  10. He was the one most of the Z-Fighters looked up to in Goku's absence as he most acted as a leader.
  11. Dragon Ball manga creator Akira Toriyama has said oftentimes that Piccolo is his favorite character.
  12. He doesn't need to turn into a Super Saiyan to keep up with his opponents. He has the might of the entire Namekian race, and then some. He's a primary force and maintains his might even though he's not a Saiyan like some of the other main characters.
  13. He has the best armor/cloak/cape/weighted clothing/turban/ outfit combo ever!
  14. He can hear extremely far distances, putting his ears to good use.
  15. He can make things appear out of nowhere (Gohan's "Uniform", sword, etc.)
  16. When he removes his armor, he becomes much faster!
  17. He can perform a split technique, becoming deadlier! He trains with his separate components when he performs this split.(similar to Tien's)
  18. He has the ability to regenerate his limbs, even when they are sliced off (against Raditz, against Cell, etc.)
  19. He's the spawn of Demon King Piccolo. And his most powerful offspring!
  20. He wasn't affected by the Black Water Mist and tricked Garlic Jr., making him think he was.
  21. He eliminated two Saiyans simultaneously. The last character to do something like that was Frieza.
  22. He let himself get sent to hell just to help Goku get out of hell, indirectly stopping Super 17. Even though he was in Heaven, he went to hell to stop the villains from hurting the ogres becoming one of the only heroes in hell.
  23. He trained 3 characters (Gohan, Goten and Trunks) who became some of the most powerful warriors in the series.
  24. Unlike many of the other combatants, he is very strategic and intelligent. He plans ahead of time (example: killing androids and cell before they pose a threat) and deciphers based on logic as opposed to emotions alone (example: fuses with Kami to take down menace). He plans to decimate opposition before it becomes a hassle and is systematically knowledgeable about his surroundings (example: aware of threat before it arises as with Garlic Jr.), allowing him to protect others and take down the opposition in a more clever manner. (example: teams up with Goku when necessary to take down someone who poses a greater threat; like Raditz).

Reasons why Gohan is better

Gohan Super Saiyan 2

There's nothing I like more than a positive attitude.

"I'm the son of Goku... the warrior! "
— Gohan when fighting Cell.

  1. We get to see him grow from a cry baby into a strong adult!
  2. He has hidden powers, which are released TWICE (first by Guru, then by Elder Kai) As a result, he becomes almost as strong as a Super Saiyan 3 (implied in Viz Media manga) after being trained by the Elder Kai.
  3. He pulls out the Z Sword!
  4. He was the first Super Saiyan to ascend to level 2. He was also the youngest Super Saiyan ever, until Goten and Trunks were born. Along with Goku he was the first one to attain Full-Power Super Saiyan, an upgraded form of Super Saiyan.
  5. Gohan was the first one to seriously harm Raditz when his anger exploded and he charged at him after busting through the Attack Ball he was being keep in. He "killed" his first villain when he was just a baby. He toyed with Cell in his fight with him. He killed Cell, when nobody else was capable, not even Goku. (He also decimated the Cell Juniors, Bido, Bujin, Bojack, Broly, Spice, Vinegar, Mustard, and Salt; he also defeated Garlic Junior TWICE.)
  6. He marries Videl.
  7. In high school, he acts as a Super Hero known as Golden Fighter and Great Saiyaman!
  8. Unlike his father, he is very intelligent and reads many books; he knows a lot more about subjects and is taught in many areas besides only knowing about basic combat, etc.
  9. He withstood the Special Beam Cannon twice in his lifetime (this was a move that killed his father and his uncle). He batted away Cell's attempt like it was nothing and managed to block Super Buu's version.
  10. He helped reform Piccolo into a good guy! He became best friends with him and taught Piccolo to have a caring heart.
  11. He has a pure heart shown from his ability to ride the flying nimbus.
  12. He was able to rebound a Spirit Bomb to hit Vegeta.

Reasons why Krillin is better

Krillinhappy1

Bald is beautiful

"I Wax"
— Krillin after numerous fighters slip off his head in Bojack Unbound

  1. He created the Destructo Disc.
  2. He has no nose, which came in handy against Bacterian.
  3. He is Goku's best friend and training partner, and later, Gohan's best friend as well.
  4. He has been killed by Tambourine, Frieza, Buu, and Super 17.
  5. He is the most powerful full-human in the series.
  6. He died protecting Android 18 and Marron twice.
  7. He is probably one of the bravest characters in the series as shown in his willingness to fight Vegeta, the Ginyu Force, Frieza, Cell, Super Buu, and Kid Buu despite being outclassed. He cuts off Frieza's tail then moons him, instigating him further even after getting impaled on one of his horns.
  8. He is pure-hearted enough to wield the spirit bomb.
  9. He was able to beat the smelliest fighter on earth, Bacterian.
  10. He killed 3 Saibamen in one blast.

  15. He is the comic relief of the show.

Reasons why Mr. Satan is better

Hercule

The Martial Arts Champion of the World

"I'm The World Martial Arts Champion!"
— Mr. Satan's signature phrase

  1. He was the one that threw Android 16's head into the battle between Cell and Gohan, and when Cell stomped on it, Gohan went berserk and progressed to SSJ2 and wiped out the Cell Juniors. So, therefore, Mr. Satan is pretty heavily responsible for the defeat of Cell.
  2. He won the martial arts tournament many times over! He even suggested a battle royale take place!
  3. He convinced Majin Buu not to kill anyone anymore.
  4. He took down the 2 goons, Van Zant and Smitty, who were responsible for shooting Buu's puppy, Bee.
  5. Piccolo even stated that although he didn't personally like Mr. Satan, he felt that Mr. Satan had undergone many changes and has the makings of a true hero. Goku even said Mr. Satan is a true champion, that he did what no powerful warrior could do.
  6. He took on Kid Buu, even though he dodged Kid Buu's kicks and punches with sheer luck! He took Vegeta to safety so that Goku could use the Spirit Bomb. Also, he convinced the people of Earth to lend their energy to the Spirit Bomb, saving the world by lending his voice. He serves an important role as a figurehead and a symbol. (EX: Vegeta yelling at people to give up their energy for Goku's Genki-Dama vs. Kid Buu and failing, whereas Mr. Satan stepped in, asked and everybody gladly obliged.)
  7. He gives the people courage and hope; something to believe in even when the chips are down and there's no one left to turn to. He's often shown moments where he'll step in to encourage or defend the weak and innocent without (outwardly) showing even a little ego. One example would be during the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament when Mooki fell out of the ring, dejected and on the verge of tears, Mr. Satan stepped in and gave him words of encouragement, even going as far as to hoist the child up on to his shoulder so the crowd would cheer for him.
  8. He is one of the only people who never died during the series (although he died by the end of GT).
  9. It is implied that although he does not hold water next to any of the Z-Fighters, that he is indeed a fairly talented martial artist. He can break 14 roofing tiles in a single karate chop! He's the only one of all these other somewhat heroic folks who is a 100% regular, ki-less human and still dares to fight evil.
  10. He managed to defeat several undead zombies while the other Z-fighters didn't in Fusion Reborn.
  11. He has survived a direct kick from Omega Shenron in old age.
  12. He had a city named after him!

Reasons why Master Roshi is better

Roshi buff

Master Roshi pumped up

  1. He was Goku's first teacher and taught him how to be a fighter, along with honing his moves and skills. Master Roshi taught him to have the spirit and courage of a fighter. If it wasn't for Roshi, Goku likely wouldn't have progressed as a warrior.
  2. He is the inventor of the Kamehameha wave. One of the strongest moves in the series, and used by many characters.
  3. During 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, in max power form, he destroyed the Moon! He's also the winner of the 21st world martial arts tournament. He also put up a great fight against Tien in the 22nd world tournament
  4. He defeated Goku in the finals of 21st Martial Arts Tournament.
  5. He goes undercover as Jackie Chun in order to conceal his identity from his own pupils in the 21st Martial Arts Tournament!
  6. He is famous and a very powerful warrior (and can pump up his body).
  7. He sacrificed himself to capture King Piccolo. (unfortunately in vain)
  8. He fought against Dr. Kochin's Bio-Warriors, Misokatsun, Ebifurya, and Kishime simultaneously whilst portraying excellent martial arts finesse although they were levels more powerful.
  9. He can HYPNOTIZE people! (as witness when he performed this maneuver against Man-Wolf)
  10. He whipped Krillin into good enough shape to overcome the bullies who used to pick on him.
  11. He's one of the funniest characters.
  12. He trained Krillin, Goku, Grandpa Gohan, Ox King and Yamcha.
  13. He put out the fires of fire mountain.
  14. He beat up several members of the Red Ribbon Army, including Captain Dark.
  15. He climbed Korin tower and defeated Korin (it took him 3 years to get the sacred water though).
  16. He can't die from aging since he's over 300 years old (he did drink from the fountain of youth though, acording to turtle).
  17. He is very wise.

Reasons why Future Trunks is better

Future Trunks

Oh yeah, what a badass.

"You're about to find out what it's like to fight a real Super Saiyan... and I'm not talking about Goku."
— Trunks confronting Frieza.

  1. He killed Frieza and his father, King Cold. He executed Android 17, 18, and Cell in the future timeline. He also kills Android 14 and Kogu.
  2. He uses an awesome sword.
  3. Grew up in the worst timeline imaginable.
  4. Has a deep respect for his father (Vegeta).
  5. Despite living in nothing but sorrow, he still looks on the brighter side of things.
  6. He is trained by Future Gohan...one of the greatest teachers in DBZ history.
  7. He is the 2nd Super Saiyan in the present timeline. He can become an Ultra Super Saiyan (guess he would do well in a muscle size competition).
  8. He is the most level-headed Saiyan.
  9. He was the last warrior in his timeline and he saved it!
  10. He is the son of the Prince of all Saiyans!
  11. He has a time machine and if he hadn't intervened using his time machine, the main timeline's Goku & most of the other Z-Fighters would be dead.
  12. He is very compassionate, and cares even for the safety of civilians, considering who his father is (Vegeta)

Reasons why Trunks is better

Trunks photo

Kid Trunks

"I think being the World Champion is going to be fun."
— Trunks at the World Championship

  3. He can perform the Fusion Dance with Goten to create Gotenks.

  7. Without him, it would not have been possible to gather all the Black Star Dragon Balls as he was the only one among the three Z-Fighters that had an intelligent understanding of technology, meaning he was the only one who knew how to fly the space ship and fix it.
  8. He shockingly outsmarted Dr. Myuu by making an extremely intelligent plan with Giru.

Reasons why Goten is better

Son Goten as a child

Kid Goten

"What's a Kakarot?"
— Goten never heard of his dads saiyan name

  1. He is a lot like his father Goku in terms of personality as a child. He also has a huge Saiyan appetite.

  14. She has a strange and twisted personality, even as her future, homicidal self (allowing the shop keeper who gave her free clothes live.)

Reasons why Tien is better

  2. He was trained by Master Shen, Master Roshi's greatest rival.

Reasons why Chiaotzu is better

  2. He was Master Shen's pupil and learned the Crane Hermit style of combat alongside Tien.
