| Here is a list of my personal top 5 rankings for the z fighters 1. Goku - Yeah yeah, you saw this one coming. Throughout the entire dragonball series, Goku has been the one to defeat all the villains, except cell, but even then, he played a crutial role in helping Gohan release his full power. In dragonball, he was Bulma's bodyguard and protected her along with Oolong from many foes. Then, in dragonball, the entire universe may have been destroyed if it wasn't for him. First came Vegeta, who without Goku would have killed all the z fighters, gotten his wish for immortality and taken over the universe. Lets not forget The Ginyu Force. If Goku didn't show up, Gohan, Krillen, and Vegeta would have all been lifeless corpses. After Piccolo and Vegeta nearly killed themselves but couldn't do much against Frieza, Goku was there to save them, the namekian race, and the universe again. Next came the androids. This time, a heart ailment set in and put Goku into a coma for a little bit. Vegeta was able to defeat android 19, but 20 was able to unleash 17 and 18 who caused havoc. Then, cell was formed, and Goku was first to fight him. Honestly, besides Gohan, nobody could have defeated Cell, maybe Vegeta, but he's too unpredictable. Along comes Buu, and now Goku have the tables stacked against him. Vegeta is evil again, and Buu seems indestructable. Although he wasn't able to stop Buu himself, he, along with Vegeta together as Gogeta were able to. Then of course, he sacraficed himself in the end of dbgt. Well, that sums it up, but what else would you expect? He is the main character. 2. Vegeta - If it wasn't for him, the z fighters may have been defeated throughout the entire series. Lets forget what he did early on. On Namek, Guldo could've killed Gohan and Krillen, but Vegeta was able to save the day. Also, Vegeta was actually helping Gohan and Krillen's morale by saying they have a chance against Frieza. Then of course he blew it afterwards, but hey, they all do. During the android saga, he was able to defeat android 19 and send 20 running before they did serious damage to Goku. He held his ground against 17 and 18, not too well though. He almost single-handidly killed cell, but arrogance ruined that. Then, he sacraficed himself to Buu, even under the control of majin. He's made many mistakes, but he has helped more. 3. Gohan - Would cell have destroyed the world if not for him? Of course. The son of Goku, Gohan never lived up to his full potential that would've have made him the most powerful fighter in the universe. Most of that is because of his inability to tap his true power. Had the dragonball ended at the early part of the Frieza saga, Gohan would be classified as the most useless z fighter. He was always fearful of enemies, and he would just hesitate many times when his friends needed him. But, Gohan got older and when he was on Namek, was got a display of Gohan's true power. When Frieza nearly killed Krillen, Gohan got off a huge flurry of attacks on Frieza, and nearly defeated him. Although he didn't, he hurt Frieza more than Piccolo and Vegeta in my opinion. Then, during android saga, Gohan wasn't much use, but then again, who was besides Vegeta, and Goku before his heart ailment. But, after training in the time chamber, Gohan was able to step up big time. He didn't fair very well early on against cell, but after 16's death, he was able to tap his power, and defeated cell. He didn't fair too well against Buu, but he was brave enough to fight Dabura, and nearly died doing so. When he became Mystic, he tried his best against Buu, but it took 2 men to beat him though. 4. Future Trunks - I originally had Chibi Trunks included, but I feel that Future Trunks had a much larger impact that Chibi. First off, had it not been for him, Frieza would have destroyed the entire planet, but he stopped King Kold and Frieza. Then, he gave Goku the heart medicine, and if it wasn't for that, Goku would have been six feet under ground. He was able to prevent the timeline with Goku and all the z fighters from being like his. Not to mention that he put up a good fight against perfect cell despite losing. 5. Piccolo - The namek trained Gohan, did help Goku against Radditz, and is always there when you need him. In the movies, if it wasn't for him, Gohan would've been killed about 10 times! Funny how he just sporadically appeared in some parts. Also, if it wasn't for him, would Goku be alive? Not likely, even though he did die sacraficing himself to Radditz, if it was Goku alone, Radditz would have destroyed earth. In the Frieza saga, had he not come along to help Gohan, Krillen, and Vegeta, all three of them would've been dead. The guy also is a smart person, who has great advice for the z fighters. |
