  • The most important character isn't Goku. Let me explain why.
    BECOME A MEMBER TODAY: / carthusdojo
    When I ask you who the most important character in Dragon Ball is, I’m sure the immediate reaction is to say Goku and that’s fair enough he is the main character after all. Some may say Gohan due to his important role throughout Dragon Ball Z or even Kami for simply making the Dragon Balls in the first place. All three are strong candidates for the title of most important. If you said Vegeta though, please seek help.
    Despite there being good reasons for those main three options I listed, I think the most important character in Dragon Ball is Bulma and for me - it’s not really close.

    I love Bulma as a character. She's one of the most respected characters in the entire show. An even more, someone touching bulma could put every Z fighter over the edge because she's easily the reason all of them got to have even a moment of peace in their lives. Most characters in the show were villians or just mean except for Goku, and Roshi basically. She's Goku's first friend besides grandpa Gohan, and Goku is one of hers. I love their small interactions where she defends him even if he's doing something stupid because she knows him better then anyone on a personal level. Its cute.

      "But for some loners, it's not a matter of skill. It's an ego thing.

And since it's an ego thing, if they realise they are relying on people, it hurts their pride. Acting aloners sometimes lash out at the people they're closest to when they realise their vulnerability inherent in their relationship or otherwise spiral into self-destructive behaviour to preserve their self-image.

    It would be dope if Goku acknowledged Bulma's role in his life, from the beginning. Have a sweet moment between them, show how their friendship has grown over time. Give her story more of the main stage, like it deserves. Literally without her, they would've lost so many times. This character analysis was spot the fuck on. I've always felt she was the most important. I love even how her style changes so often over the course of the series, while everyone else more or less looks the same. She's the most dynamic character in the series. I wish dragon ball developed and showcased its character friendships more. There's such a rich history between everyone by now, and I wish the story would capitalize on that history. I feel like they're missing out on some good opportunities for really impactful, emotional moments to balance the typical dbz action.

      Or she found a pile of clothes with an abandoned sword and wondered why her son decided to travel to the past naked and never come back.
      In any case that timeline has no Cell, no Androids, no Trunks. Which means no Zamasu being angred at the repeated sin of time travel by a mortal. No Super Saiyan Gods, so no Beerus waking up early chasing dreams of a new challenger. Freeza remains dead as there are now no known Dragon Balls to wish him back that his soldiers know of, the Freeza Force continues to be decimated as planets rebel, Paragus stays stuck on Vampa with Broly, Granolah probably lives out his days serving the Heaters who now rule over the remnants of Freeza's empire.
      Buu is either never released due to the lack of strong energy for Babidi to collect on earth, or the whole process takes much longer to complete. Either way, Universe 7 is probably taken out by a bored Zeno, an escaped Moro, or a rampaging Fat Buu. I assume if Buu or Moro get out of hand, then other universe wariors like Jiren could handle those threats before they spread.
      But until it's eventual end by bored gods, fat bubblegum monsters or goat wizards, Universe 7 in Cell's original timelime gets a very long stretch of undisturbed peace. Making it the best timeline outcome in all of Dragon Ball.

      Doubt much would change as saiyans don't want fame. He would probably just be the rich guy instead of Hercule, which doesn't really change much since Gohan is married to Hercule's daughter anyway.
      Edit: I didn't change much in the sentence, just added a few commas and replaced the word "his" with the character's names. Also, I do know English (I was born in England and got a grade 8) however I couldn't be bothered to write formally. Apologies if my lazy writing caused some confusion among the replies.

    I thought Bulma was an important character but didn't realize how crucial she actually was. She's sometimes annoying and down right arrogant at times but has more than the stuff to back it up and the ASSets to. Her technology and brilliant mind and ties to crucial characters in the main cast cement her as one of the best DB characters and a good animé character overall.

    If we're weighing importance by the gravity of a character's actions, then it'd be Kami. Bulma is incredibly relevant in the actions of the story, but her whole reason for being in the story is due to Kami creating the Dragon Balls. Both characters are great and important to the story, but everything about Bulma in this video is countered by the fact that Kami created her initial motivation. I'm sure Bulma would've still gone on to do some crazy like invent the first space ship on Earth or continue to go on and discover Time Travel but she wouldn't've met Goku
