00:00you guys don't even understand I almost never do this but I'm gonna show you
00:07something really embarrassing that's me 10 years old I was Goku for Halloween I
00:13tried to make that hair by myself it didn't turn out very well but anyway can
00:16you blame me though because I was a humongous Dragonball fan at the time and
00:20anybody who's seen that show wants to be these characters they fly around they
00:24shoot energy from their hands and they save the universe who wouldn't want that
00:27so we're gonna give you the 10 best Dragon Ball characters across all the
00:32shows except Dragon Ball Super cuz that one's not done yet so hey I'm Nervous
00:36Nick for ScrewAttack's top 10 Dragon Ball characters
00:41number 10 all right now I know what you're thinking really the guy that dies a lot
00:48yeah really Krillin is actually pretty strong his martial arts training began at
00:53the young age of four and he would go on to train with Goku under Master Roshi
00:57his destructo disc has cut down many a foe although it's never quite killed
01:01anyone but thanks to his adventures with Goku he's grown thousands of times more
01:05powerful than the average human is that enough to measure up to a warrior race of
01:09Saiyans biologically engineered murder machines and gods no no it is not but yet
01:16he sticks with it even though he's died on more than one occasion which leads us to
01:20the greatest thing Krillin has ever done Android 18 that's right this short bald
01:27noseless monk ended up with the world's hottest cyber woman and can prove it how
01:32did this happen our money's on the mustache number 9 scientific genius mother to a
01:40Saiyan warrior and unofficial Z fighter Bulma is absolutely a driving force in the
01:46world of Dragon Ball I mean think about it it was her technology that helped Goku
01:50on his journey and made finding the legendary Dragon Balls so easy in the
01:54first place you see when Bulma was 16 she found a Dragon Ball in a capsule
01:59Corp storage closet and that led her to create the Dragon Radar which is pretty
02:03much everyone's go-to gadget for tracking down these mystical wish orbs think about
02:08it without the Dragon Radar the good guys would be screwed and it's all thanks to
02:13Bulma wanting to wish for a lifetime supply of strawberries or a cute
02:16boyfriend or something I don't know but her inventions don't stop there at the
02:21age of five she built her first ray gun and across various timelines she's built
02:25multiple vehicles spaceships and time machines while she's not a strong fighter
02:32and her fan service assets can only get her so far it's Bulma's brain that makes
02:37her an obvious inclusion on this top ten number eight mercenary for hire and
02:44generally an unsavory character Dao Pai Pai or simply mercenary Tao is an enemy
02:49of Goku's from the early days of Dragon Ball somehow granted the gift of
02:54immortality Dao decides to become a hitman at the ripe young age of 279 he has no
03:00qualms with killing anything or anyone as long as the price is right now look I
03:06could tell you all about how strong this guy is and how he killed a man with
03:10just his tongue but none of that comes even close to this guy's mode of
03:14transportation now you may be watching Dragon Ball thinking to yourself man a lot
03:19of people in this show can fly but Dao Pai Pai has mastered the art of knocking
03:23down a full-sized tree hurling it into the air and somehow surfing it it's awesome if
03:30that isn't cool enough for you he survives getting blown up by a grenade and comes
03:34back as a cyborg so in summary Dao Pai Pai is a cybernetic tree-surfing martial
03:40arts master number seven born and built Android 18 is a cybernetically enhanced
03:48human which is actually called a cyborg not an Android Android 18 was converted
03:55into an Android by the mad scientist dr. Gero with the sole purpose of killing
04:00Goku she doesn't have to eat she's super strong and she ages slower than
04:04normal humans plus she's just freaking cool I mean she's got this tsundere
04:09character type thing going on but if you piss her off she'll just straight-up
04:13murder you 18 has gone well beyond what she was designed to do she's gone toe-to-toe
04:18with the Z fighters and in one of her most epic moments broke Vegeta's arm in
04:22front of everyone nowadays she's unfortunately joined the benchwarmer squad
04:27but in her heyday she was one of the first villains to show the limits of a
04:31Super Saiyan and force the heroes to ascend beyond number six let me paint you a
04:38picture you've just watched about 10 million episodes where the planet Namek
04:43is five minutes away from exploding the whole time but finally Goku has defeated
04:48Frieza all of a sudden Frieza's back with his father King cold ready to get some
04:53vengeance on the earth you're thinking to yourself what they barely beat this guy
04:57before now he's brought his dad the earth is over suddenly a mysterious pair of
05:03boots land on the ground attached to these boots is a belt attached to that
05:07belt is a capsule corp jacket attached to that jacket is a purple-haired guy with a
05:13sword this is Trunks and he's from the future and then he proceeds to turn the
05:19supervillain from the previous saga into confetti in like seconds face it with an
05:23introduction like that we had no choice but to love Trunks plus the bowl cut
05:28wonder child opened up the Dragon Ball universe in a way that hadn't been seen
05:31before War Saiyans time travel this character made for some of the best story
05:36arcs in any of the Dragon Ball series plus he's got a sword I'm just saying
05:43number five watching DBZ as a kid it's one thing to see all these grown-ups doing
05:50battle with evil alien tyrants and saving the world but to see a kid your age
05:54holding his own in battle seeing Gohan keeping up with the adults was something
05:59truly awesome to see they spent the entire show building up the son of Goku to
06:07be the next heir to the throne with his half saiyan heritage letting him access
06:10untold amounts of power he downed Raditz as a toddler surprised Frieza with his power
06:16and after almost 200 episodes of build-up we finally got to see Gohan's true
06:22potential in the battle against Cell mmm so worth it cannot wait to see what they
06:28do with him next oh and that's how our chosen one got benched for the rest of
06:34Dragon Ball just dressing up like a lame superhero and forgetting how to be
06:39awesome yeah we're not for the whole great Saiyaman and green tracksuit wearing
06:44nonsense we probably would have put Gohan a lot higher but we should never
06:47forget that this 11 year old boy once disintegrated perfect cell using a one
06:53handed Kamehameha and also the power of friendship or the father-son thing
06:57whatever was going on number four in a world full of people who are either bald
07:03or sport increasingly ridiculous hairstyles the casual observers gotta wonder
07:08who the heck is that green guy Piccolo hails from the planet Namek home to a long
07:13legacy of warriors who created the Dragon Balls oh and that turban and cape
07:17that he always wears some estimate that to weigh over 250 pounds so when he takes
07:22off those heavy over garments you know he's about to get serious and like lots
07:26of characters in Dragon Ball Piccolo once had some beef with Goku and like half
07:30the villains in the series wound up forging a friendship with Goku that
07:34would last a lifetime multiple lifetimes technically he even does what Goku
07:38never does and is sort of a surrogate father to Gohan he also does a great
07:43stretch Armstrong impression number three Lord Frieza Emperor of the Universe is
07:50arguably the franchise's biggest baddie not necessarily in power level but in
07:55ambition in motivation and his ego is equally as toxic ensuring his enemies
08:00suffer before their outright destruction but don't get me wrong Frieza is still
08:04extremely powerful so powerful in fact that his final form is actually his
08:09original form the other three transformations that's just how he saves
08:13his power for big fights and when he unleashes that power oh boy planets are
08:18destroyed an entire warrior races fall that is the kind of villain you need to
08:24create one of the most memorable Dragon Ball moments of all time Goku's
08:28transformation into the legendary Super Saiyan Frieza is a world-conquering
08:33tyrant who is as cold-blooded as it gets no wonder Trunks cut him into a
08:38thousand little pieces number two Vegeta mr. Batman himself is the prince of all
08:45Saiyans and also the only one of his kind who can consistently keep up with Goku
08:49at least he tries Vegeta is an egotistical jerk whose main motivation is
08:54just to be better than Goku no matter how hard he tries he's never able to
08:59surpass his rival but it's that same relentless motivation that's exactly what
09:04we love about him along his journey he forges lasting friendships finds true love
09:08and even has a couple of kids and give the man some credit Vegeta made the entire
09:14Majin Buu saga worth watching for his unforgettable sacrifice to save his son
09:19even if he's never the strongest warrior in the universe Vegeta remains the
09:23Prince of all Saiyans in our hearts just for his undying drive I wonder if we know
09:29anyone else like that it's number one please please act surprise look no matter
09:37how hard we tried to justify any other character the fact remains that Goku is
09:42the spirit of Dragon Ball we were there with him when he was a monkey-tailed boy in
09:47search of the Dragon Balls and we were with him when he got his driver's license we
09:51watched him explore the depths of space and we watched him explore the female
09:55anatomy yeah naive though Goku may be it's his endless pursuit of bettering
10:00himself that we all fell in love with with each new challenge each new threat he
10:05rises to the occasion and consistently sets new benchmarks for the untapped
10:09potential in the Saiyan bloodline and when he and Vegeta combined forces
10:13they're nearly unstoppable no matter how difficult it might be for them to work
10:16together there is nothing that Goku won't do to protect his friends and
10:21family unless there is an opportunity to become a bit stronger or if there's food
10:25but mostly to become stronger it's literally been like 16 years and I can't
10:30get over how bad that hair looks but regardless thank you for watching top 10
