Hello, i'm Paleomario66, one of the admins of this wiki. I hope you enjoy this wiki, and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask me about them on my Message Wall or on a PM. When adressing me, please call me Paleo.

Activity
Most of the time I am pretty active, though now that school has started for me, I'll be less active during the weekdays except maybe in the evening and very early morning (the former is more likely).

Current: Offline

Overall: Active

My stance on certain verses
Please note that "Support" means I really like the franchise, and would go into a debate for it. "Like, but don't Support" means I like the franchise, but would I be willing to enter a debate for it? Not really. "Neutral" means I don't mind the franchise, but I have no interest in said franchise. "No Opinion" means I don't really care about the franchise at all, yet I don't hate it. "Don't Like, but ain't an Enemy of" means I don't like the franchise, and try to avoid it. But you could still catch me in a debate about that franchise, just as you might find me in one within the three aforementioned categories. "Enemy" though... you'll never catch me in a debate about that franchise. I actively try to avoid it at all costs, and really don't like it.

The verses are also in order of how much I like/don't like them. The lower they are, the littler I like them. The higher, the more I like them. For example, in the Support category, the one at the top would be my favorite fictional franchise. The lowest one in the Enemy category is my least favorite fictional franchise. The exception is the No Opinion category, where they are in alphabetical order. Support=

Heroes or Villains?
It depends on the character. In many cases, I actually prefer the villains, but there are plenty of heroes that I really like as well. As for what types of villains I like, I often like psychotic villains, because they show true villianous acts, but there are some exceptions (Bowser, Dr. Eggman, etc.). A lot of the characters on here will be from the Mario and Dragon Ball series. Here's a list of my favorite characters in all of fiction.

NOTE #1: I got a lot of the info about some of these characters from a friend of mine (Mario, Luigi, Dimentio, etc.).

NOTE #2: A few of the Dragon Ball characters' explanations have quotations from the English Dub of Dragon Ball Super. If you haven't seen them, it would be best to see them unless you don't care about being spoiled. More may be added later. So far, these are my all-time favorite fictional characters, and why I love them so much.
 * 1) Bowser - Yep. Bowser is my favorite character in all of fiction (as of now). What's so great about Bowser is he's the type of villain that doesn't know what he wants to be, making him a tad unpredictable. It keeps him fresh, so while he is overused, you still can't ever get fully sick of him. He's been kindhearted and comedic in the past, like in Sunshine and Super Mario RPG. But there's also moments where he's bat-shit insane, like in Paper Jam and Super Mario Galaxy. And then there's moments where he's simply an outright badass, like in Dream Team and Bowser's Inside Story. One of my absolute favorite moments with Bowser was in Super Mario Sunshine. In that game, Bowser Jr was told that Princess Peach was his mother, and that Mario had kidnapped him. After Bowser and Bowser Jr's defeat, the former was about to come clean and tell his son he was lying. Junior told his father than he knew all along that Peach wasn't his mother, and he was just going along with it. Bowser even teared up after he said this. Bowser actually felt bad for lying to his son, which almost no other Mario villain would. After Junior said he knew his dad was lying all along, he proclaimed, "Someday, when I'm bigger.........I wanna fight that Mario again!" Bowser felt pride for his son, and he suggested that they rest before once again plotting to defeat Mario. This sort of heartwarming relationship would not be expected from almost any other villain and their son. And then there's the nice moment where he goes full-on papa bear in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam when Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario defeat the two Juniors. Not to mention the Switch Parental Controls commercial... between just those, you can see that Bowser is a surprisingly amazing father. Despite not even having one. You see, Bowser never had any parents. Unlike Peach, Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Yoshi, Bowser was never delivered to his parents in Yoshi's Island. He never knew who his true parents were, unlike pretty much every other Star Child, besides a certain yellow fellow. Kamek showed genuine love towards Bowser, yes, but Bowser is, in a way, an adopted orphan. Makes you feel a bit bad for the guy. He cares deeply for his minions, and they return such feelings, which is clearly evidenced in Paper Jam, where the minions all devote their allegiance to both Bowsers, cheering them on, and sacrificing themselves as mere shields to assist the Bowsers in the final battle. Bowser might be the villain, but geez... he's not such a bad guy at all. Not to mention he stars in one of the best games of all time, IMO: Bowser's Inside Story. The final battle and ending always makes you feel empowered, and emotional at the same time. One of my favorite quotes of Bowser's: "GWAHAHAHA! Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! Listen up. You're saying this kingdom will vanish? NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH!!" This quote alone shows just how hellbent determined Bowser is... which you can't help but admire. He loses everytime, but he never gives up. Even after falling into lava, being crushed by a castle, surviving a black hole, or even surviving the entire universe's destruction, Bowser still continues to fight on. For the sake of a future he wants. And when some threat comes along, he's more than willing to team up with Mario himself to save the day. Then, there's two moments in the spin-offs that show Bowser's maturity, as well. First, in Mario Party 4, once defeated, he leaves a gift for the hero. Because it was their birthday. And as he slinks away, he wishes even Mario a happy birthday. Second, in Mario Super Sluggers, Bowser saves Mario because he was kind enough to offer Bowser friendship. Bowser is truly a character that only acts mischievous--he's not really a villain., despite being called one. He loves his son with all of his heart, trusts Kamek with his life, and is willing to act kind to anyone should they be kind to him--even Mario. Overall, Bowser's mixed feelings, rough past, and empowering determination is what makes him such a great character. It takes a badass to rule a kingdom, run an army, and attempt to take over a kingdom (or even the universe), all while raising a child, yet still be willing to team up with his archnemesis when necessary.
 * 2) Dimentio-This guy is EXTREMELY psychotic. Psychopathic villains are always so much more complex than almost all other villains, and unlike other villains, they are actually intimidating. Dimentio is outright called a psychopath in game many times, and he feels absolutely no empathy whatsoever, even for acts such as murder and abduction. He hated the other minions, especially Count Bleck himself. The latter for his broken heart, the former group because, to him, they were completely incapable. He pokes fun at all of them--especially O'Chunks and Mimi. The former he takes advantage of through his depression--asking him to "humor poor me for a bit" when he gives up on life, and the latter through embarrassment--especially in front of those she loves. While his past is unknown, he was fated to be the Dark One, destined to bring destruction to all existence. He's funny, he's excellent at deceiving others, he's relaxed, he has so many qualities that such a great villain needs, all packed into one. And he only sees others as pawns in his plan. Once the pawn is no longer usefully, he eliminates him/her. He took advantage of the heroes by having them destroy the count, he and used them to bring Luigi to him. He used the count for more information, and he used the other villains to advance all the work for him--so they get the ridicule. At the end, he attempts to kill the count--giving him the "everlasting peace he so desperately wants"--and calls Nastasia foolish for taking the killing blow. He finally gets his hands on Luigi, and now that everyone except Luigi are no longer usefull, according to him, they all need to die. After they are all dead, he is then going to tear apart existence--murdering everyone within--and then recreate the entirety of existence, where he plays God. An alternate ending to the game is if the heroes join Dimentio. First, he reveals that he's been "helping" them through the entire story. Should they choose to accept, Tippi will try to convince them otherwise--which Dimentio responds to with, "You're the hero! Are you going to let little butterfly minds influence your decision?" He then says, after sprouting Floro Sprouts in their heads, "That sucking sound is your free will being plunged from the toilet of your mind! Now, you are my slave, and you will do my bidding. You will be... fearless! Go and defeat the count! And when he is gone, I will create a new world! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Again, for dramatic effect! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA." He is absolutely hellbent on fulfilling the Dark Prognosticus. An amazing villain.
 * 3) Mario-I originally thought, like most people still do, that Mario didn't have an extremely complex personality. Now, I know that is far from true. In most games, he is extremely kind-hearted and caring. In the end of Super Mario Sunshine, he was actually crying when F.L.U.D.D. "dies" at the end of Sunshine. He tries to make everyone around him happy and safe, especially his brother, even putting his life on the line. Though he is an excellent hero, he's not perfect. Sometimes--due to immense stress--he can turn sour against the world, but remains immensely humble and trusting towards his family and friends. Mario and Luigi: Dream Team reveals that dreams are symbolic in Mario, meaning his dream in Super Mario Bros. 2 has its own symbols. First, let's talk about his friends' symbols. First, Luigi, who jumps the highest. To dream you are jumping is that, you need to take a risk. You will overcome your obstacles and meet your goals. Mario wants Luigi to break free from being under him, and become his own hero. Now, Peach. She can temporarily fly. Peach is normally considered a catalyst, right? Well, flying symbolizes freedom, whereas initially, you may have been held down. Mario wants Peach to be free of the kidnappings, and all the problems she has... He wants her to be happy. Next, Toad. He is normally portrayed powerless, right? Well, in here, Toad is actually the strongest of the four. Strength represents your level of power in your waking life. Mario believes Toad can accomplish more than any one else does. To display his stress, when you press start, you're immediately falling. Falling means balance--or lack thereof. When the bad outweighs the good. Next, the doors. They're everywhere, including places they really shouldn't be. To dream you are entering a door indicates fresh opportunities you will encounter. You're moving into a different chapter in your life, and to a higher consciousness. Basically, Mario really believes in his friends, and yearns to see them progress in life. Finally, let's see what Mario thinks of himself... what's his special ability? Well... nothing. This means that, while everyone else may view Mario as some sort of Superman-figure, he views himself as just an ordinary guy. Sure, he's done some pretty terrible things. But does that make him a bad person for doing those things? We see clearly he has stress, and yet, he tries his best to keep a smile on his face. He tries to keep those emotions pent up inside. Nobody is happy-go-lucky 100% of the time. We all have moments where... we're just fed up, and cut loose against everyone, saying and doing things we don't exactly mean. Mario is a perfect example of this. Yeah, he's done some bad things. But that doesn't make him a bad person. And with him only able to dream of him and his friends going on an amazing adventure... together? Mario is a great person. One that knows he's not perfect, but still strives to be--for the sake of everyone else, whilst believing that those around him are just as capable, if not more so than himself. And you know what? Mario was right to put so much faith into his friends. Peach would eventually save him and others from Bowser, Luigi would get his own year, and Toad would become a captain that risks everything to save the day. Heck, he even hates people fighting, and desires to see everyone get along, being the one that planned in resolving the conflict between Brighton and Twila in Mario Party 6. Another amazing quality about Mario is how forgiving he is. He even invited Bowser to join in multiple sporting events, despite the fact that Bowser has tried to kill him several times before. Additionally, despite Donkey Kong having committed a felony by stealing from his company, then kidnapping and endangering the lives of people in the first Mario VS Donkey Kong, when Donkey Kong had fallen from a high building, what did Mario do? He asked him if he was okay, and showed genuine concern. Later, when he did it again by stealing from his company--even destroying a delivery truck of Mario's--and then tried to crush him with a massive robot, Mario was still kind to him. After defeating him, he was angry at him, yes. But Donkey Kong broke down crying, and what did Mario say? "Hey, it's okay. Don't cry. Here, you like? It's-a me, Mario." and handed DK the one thing he wanted, the one thing he stole from Mario, and gave it to him for free: a Mini-Mario Toy. Yeah... he's a very forgiving person, too. Oftentimes, Youtubers think that Mario is evil, mainly because of videos by Game Theory, which uses plenty of reasons that are highly flawed. That's another reason I have a lot of respect for Mario. He's hated on a lot on the internet, and for horrible reasons.
 * 4) Luigi-Though Mario's personality is touched upon more, I really like Luigi because he is extremely relatable. Being an underdog, a lot of people can relate to him. We all feel fear and have doubts at some point in our life. Luigi is a very nice reminder of true courage ~ the mastery of fear, and the ability to work with fear, as he is extremely cowardly, yet people can relate to this. Like Mario, Luigi is very kind. Something I only realized until recently is how much Luigi loves his brother. In Dream Team, with Dream's Deep, Luigi's true thoughts and emotions are revealed. From the dreams, Luigi is a character that loves his brother so much that all he wants in life is to be next to him. Luigi doesn't want to be renowned as a hero. He doesn't want to be loved. I'm sure most of the fanbase thought he did. Before I knew about this, I know I did. He loves his brother. He alway wants to be alongside Mario, and he wants him to be safe. Once his brother has been clawed out of the hands of evil, Luigi has been known to cry tears of joy that his brother is safe. And the one thing he wants more than anything? The approval of Mario. When he gets that, Luigi is overjoyed. It's extremely touching. This made me like Luigi even more than before, since it made me realize how selfless he really is.
 * 5) Fawful-Fawful appears to have many features of insanity, very similar to King Boo Dimentio--including his method of brainwash being torture, and his goal to destroy the Mario Bros.. However, he lacks a lot of the traits Dimentio and King Boo have. Dimentio is very clearly crazy, which even the game itself points out. Fawful makes up for it in not being something that just happened to the franchise. He... was planned from his first appearance. In Superstar Saga, he hints that he'll betray Cackletta and become the star. In Partners in Time, he talks more about his uprising and how it will some day come to reality. And Bowser's Inside Story was that realization. This game was planned... despite the lack of continuity in Mario, there's undoubted continuity here. He was no random happening--unlike Dimentio and King Boo. Not to mention that he's a pretty comedic character due to his funny catchphrases, mainly in Bowser's Inside Story. Fawful combined the traits of a psycho and a comedic villain. Though he could have done it even better, Fawful was still an amazing villain, and I'm looking forward to see him return in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions!
 * 6) King Boo-This villain is a huge psycho, and those kind of villains are rare in a franchise like Mario. He's not a very well-developed character in the main series, but he is in the Luigi's Mansion series. In the first Luigi's Mansion, he loved ghosts. Especially Boos. He cared greatly for them, and even saved them all from Elvin Gadd, then he created a home for them! In that first game he still had some psycho traits, saying the way Mario pleads for help satisfies him (similar to real-world psychopaths who say they love the way their victims squirm), but he wasn't a complete psycho yet. Then, the sequel came along, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. He became far darker, he no longer cares for any of the ghosts, seeing them as mere tools and pawns in order to succeed in his plans, and now he sends the ghosts out to be captured and imprisoned just for him to get a smaller chance at winning. He goes as far as to attempt collapse a universe to kill Luigi. And when he's finally got him in his grasp? He savors Luigi's fear... gleefully laughing at any moment he can squeeze out of it, like a real-world psycho path would. If there's a Luigi's Mansion 3, I can't imagine what would happen if they made him even more of a psycho. He's not much in the main series, but in the Luigi's Mansion series, he's extremely psychotic, and because of that, I recently started to love him. Not to mention his ending speech talks about enslavement, murder, and imprisonment, making the characters meet a fate worse than death. What fate? To be ensnared in a painting that is devoid of any life. Basically, killing the character by never letting them live again. Canonically, in Mario, there is an afterlife. Will these characters get to see it? No. They will be imprisoned. Forever.
 * 7) Vegeta-There's a lot of things I love about Vegeta. He's one of the most well-developed characters in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super. Throughout Dragon Ball Z, he was a total badass, mainly during the Frieza arc. After surviving a battle that brought him to the brink of death against Goku, Gohan and Krillin, Vegeta is healed by some of Frieza's minions and becomes even stronger. He hears about Frieza's quest to become immortal, and he heads to Namek to get the Dragon Balls first. When he arrives there, he starts breaking down Frieza's army one by one. First he takes out Cui, then Dodoria, and then Zarbon (after being beaten to near death by him and receiving a Zenkai boost). Afterwards, he helps Goku take on the Ginyu force and he soon becomes powerful enough to surpass First and Third form Frieza. He ends up losing against Final Form Frieza, but until he is blasted in the heart he ends up survives everything Frieza does to him. That was one of the things I loved about Vegeta: his resilience. He survived some of the worst beatings and came back even stronger. That happened to Goku sometimes, but it's happened to Vegeta in the Frieza Saga several times. After the Frieza Saga, Vegeta made it his goal to surpass Goku (AKA Kakarot). He kept on pushing himself to his limits, even as Bulma tried to get him to rest. Even though this caused him to be horribly injured, this eventually led to Vegeta becoming a Super Saiyan. Though Vegeta may seem heartless, he has put his life on the line to avenge his loved ones. The first instance was during the Cell Games, when Cell came back after being teleported to King Kai's planet by Goku and exploding, and he killed Future Trunks. Vegeta was horrified by this, and because of this, Vegeta became furious, and he attempted to fight Cell to avenge his son. Even though Cell was unaffected and he effortlessly defeated Vegeta, this was the first instance that Vegeta showed concern for anyone. What's more, Vegeta actually fired an attack at Cell during his beam struggle with Gohan so the former could finish him off. There are plenty more instances where Vegeta cared for his family. In the Buu Saga, he sacrificed himself to save his son from Majin Buu by blowing himself up. It didn't work, but he decided to take that chance to try to defeat Buu and protect his wife and son. Another moment was when Goku and Vegeta were given the chance to fuse with the Potarra earrings. At first, Vegeta was unwilling to fuse, but Goku reminded Vegeta of how Super Buu killed almost all of their friends and family, including Bulma and Trunks. From this, Vegeta was enraged, and only then did he agree to put on the earring and fuse. Later, when they were in Buu's stomach and they were separated, Vegeta crushed the other earring, but Vegeta still did put in on earlier to avenge his son and wife. One of my favorite moments of Vegeta showing that he cared for his wife was in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and in Dragon Ball Super. In both versions, Bulma slapped Beerus because he ruined her birthday party, but Beerus slapped her back. In the movie, Vegeta quickly reacted and yelled, "THAT'S MY BULMAAAAAAAA!" The general idea was similar in DBS, but it was a little more drawn out. A lot of people hate it for that reason, but for me that was significant because it showed just how worried for his wife Vegeta was. As Bulma was about to slap her, Vegeta pleaded, "Beerus, please have mercy! What ever you plan to do, do it to me! Don't hurt her! DON'T HURT HEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!" Vegeta slowly became enraged, and he yelled, "What did you do.......TO MY BULMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" This was one of my favorite Vegeta moments because it revealed that Vegeta actually loves and cares about Bulma. Another point of Vegeta putting aside his pride was in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. This wasn't in DBS, but it was interesting. When Beerus got angry after a bullet from Mai's gun hit him, he was about to destroy Earth, Vegeta distracted him by trying to continue the party with his own Bingo Dance. Vegeta was clearly embarassed about doing so, but he did it so Beerus would not end up destroying the Earth. After Beerus left Earth, Goku mocked Vegeta for getting angry, and Vegeta denied that he did, because his pride wouldn't allow him to admit it. Even after he started living on Earth, Vegeta could still be a badass. After Goku surpassed him via the Super Saiyan God transformation, he made it his mission to surpass him by training with Whis. By the time Goku arrived, Vegeta already appeared to be stronger than Goku, as he and Goku were both lifting weights, and both were struggling equally, but Whis told Vegeta that he doubled his own weight. Throughout DBS, Vegeta still had a goal to surpass Goku, but unlike before he didn't let him get in the way of defending his friends and family when necessary. In the first episode of Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta even went on a family vacation with Bulma and Trunks, something he never would have done before. Bulma even pointed out that he seemed different ever since he fought Buu. This has become even more clear as the series goes on as Vegeta hasn't been as uptight as he used to be in Dragon Ball Z. This may have been partially due to Whis' advice that he loosens up more. Overall, I love Vegeta because he is a badass, he has a lot of determination to succeed in his goals, and he has put aside his pride to save the Earth, not once, not twice, but multiple times, no matter how damaging to his pride it may be.
 * 8)  Beerus-I love this character. His appearance in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and in Dragon Ball Super quickly made me like the character. He's the first major antagonist who actually isn't a villain. One thing I loved about the movie is it was the first (and currently only) time in the Dragon Ball> movies the antagonist prevailed. I love Beerus' personality in that he is surprisingly well-mannered and polite, and can be quite sociable and friendly when in a good mood. It was funny how Beerus threatened to destroy the Earth just because Buu ate his pudding! I also liked how when Gotenks said it was nothing to get upset about, Beerus was enraged, and he went into detail on why for them, it wouldn't be a big deal, but for him it was, as he never tried it before. The main reason I like Beerus is because of how much of a badass he can be, like his fight with SSG Goku. Unfortunately, in recent times, Beerus has become lazy, yet I still love him because he has had his share of badass moments, such as whenever he uses Destroy (AKA Hakai), mainly on Zamasu. Zamasu was about to attack Goku, but Beerus stopped him with ease and proceeded to erase him from existence. In the Universe Survival Arc, my favorite Beerus moments were where he blew away Sidra's Energy of Destruction, and where he forced Krillin to enter the Tournament of Power and he threatened to destroy him if he refused. Beerus is an amazingly powerful character to the point where even Golden Frieza was scared shitless when he noticed him. Beerus is one of the most badass characters in Dragon Ball Super, and despite his recent laziness, every moment he does something useful, such as when he uses Hakai, it gives me chills.
 * 9) Goten-Goten is a highly underrated and underappreciated character in Dragon Ball Z. There are plenty of people who love him, some who find him okay, and some who find him really annoying. I noticed that a lot of people hate him because his crying awoke Broly in the movie Broly: The Second Coming. This is kind of stupid because first off, the movies are not part of the main canon. Second, his crying was faked, but it was partially Videl's fault too since she slapped him in the first place. If someone were to dislike Goten for that reason, it would make sense for them to dislike Videl too. Is that the case? Usually not. Sure, he can be annoying, but all little kids can be annoying at times. It's not something against Goten's character in particular. A lot of people who love Goten like him because he is really cute. Though I don't really like little kids as much as other people do, I can definitely understand that. That's far from the only reason I like Goten though. Goten's personality is one of the things I like about him. He is extremely kindhearted and cheerful, just like his father. He is also naïve like his father, and this can sometimes get him into trouble. When on screen, he often does things which make me smile and even laugh at times. Another thing I love is how well Goten and Goku get along. They are alike in a lot of ways, and they immediately took a liking to each other when they met for the first time. Goten was a bit shy at first, but he quickly became excited to see him. That scene was just so........heartwarming. This relationship is shown even more in Dragon Ball Super, where Goku spends a lot of time with Goten. After Goten and Trunks had gotten Videl a wedding present, Goku and Goten were standing out in the field together, and Mr. Satan showed up, offering Goku's family 100 million Zeni. Goku at first didn't want it, but Goten convinced him to go because if he brought home the money, Chi-Chi wouldn't be nagging him about working, so he could train with King Kai. Goku was still unsure, but he eventually agreed. When Chi-Chi agreed to let him go to King Kai's planet, Goku was excited, and Goten smiled at seeing his father happy. Goten puts others' needs before his own, which Goku doesn't do as much (he does protect his family when needed, but he usually fights enemies for the thrill of it). Goten appears to be far smarter than Goku in Dragon Ball Super, as when he and Goku were getting some food at a store, Goten suggested that they get a gift bag for Whis and Beerus, and he said that it would be good manners to do so. His personality is one of the things I like about him the most, but that's not the only thing. There is something else about Goten that I only recently realized. Goten may have a hidden power possibly even greater than that of Gohan's. Think about it. Goten was trained by Chi-Chi (and a bit by Gohan too), and his power shocked Gohan. Kid Trunks became slightly more powerful, but he was trained by Vegeta, and I think we all know who is stronger between Chi-Chi and Vegeta. Also, when Goten and Trunks trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Piccolo noted that their power was exactly the same. This supports the idea that Goten has a far higher potential than Trunks, and if he trained more, he could have gotten far more powerful. He got this strong from being trained mostly by Chi-Chi. Imagine how strong he could get if Goku trained him constantly, and especially if Whis trained him (I doubt he would be ready to handle training like that though). Toriyama and Toei Animation also missed a huge opportunity for Goten to shine. When Goten witnessed Chi-Chi's death at the hands of Super Buu, he very well could have turned Super Saiyan 2. That could have been a huge chance for him to actually be a help in defeating Buu, but sadly they missed it, and it got worse in DBS, where Chi-Chi started making him study. It appeared like she was reverting back to her old ways before the Buu Saga. Hell, Goku was about to let Goten train with him at Whis' place, but Chi-Chi insisted that he study. I understand her not wanting him to get hurt, but his studies are far from being more important than the fate of the Earth. Overall, Goten is an extremely caring, funny, and underdeveloped character who had a lot of potential, especially in Dragon Ball Super, and oftentimes that potential is wasted.
 * 10) Zamasu-Zamasu, especially Goku Black, is one of the most amazing new characters that appeared in Dragon Ball Super. Zamasu (Goku Black and Future Zamasu are both him, except in different bodies) slowly develops an extreme hatred for humanity throughout all scenes he is in because they constantly sin, and he believes gods should do "justice" to such beings. He is angered when the gods continuously forgive them, leading him to questions what use are gods if they don't do justice to all beings below them. He has "bottomless anger" towards humans who disrespect the universe, and to the gods who overlook such disrespect. The amazing thing about Goku Black in particular is his psychotic smiles, evil laughs and his willingness to kill all in order to create his desired world. He murders Goku, a sinful mortal that challenged the gods, in front of his wife and son to steal his body. And then what does he do? He kills them both while smiling evily. Goku Black and Future Zamasu talk calmly about mass genocide, together. And what's more is that Future Zamasu is the one that proposed they should slowly kill the Z Fighters, wearing them down to the bone, before feasting on the marrow of their bones, gaining all strength they can from their foes. These two are amazingly psychotic villains, and the worst part about them is that their mass genocide across several universes is their idea of "justice." In the end, Goku had to call the Future Zen'ō, the King of All ruling over all 12 universes, in order to finish him off.
 * 11) Shadow-Shadow is my favorite Sonic character for a few reasons... one, his personality. Unlike almost all of the Sonic characters, Shadow isn't bursting with charisma. A lot of people would call himedgy, but I don't understand that. Shadow is not only amazingly different from the charm that the others have, but he is also a true anti-hero. Shadow is unpredictable--you don't know what he'll say or do next, which makes him much more interesting. Not only that, but relatability... you can't help but feel sorry for him. He was a creation made to save humans from illnesses that were incurable. But because the government seen how well the project was going, they felt threatened by Shadow, so they shut down the project and killed or captured everyone behind it. Shadow watches the one person he wanted to save die in front of him. Then, he loses his memory and struggles to figure out why this one image haunts him endlessly.You also can't help but love him for his independence, and, again, his true anti-hero characteristics. '06 describes Shadow really well... "If the world chooses to become my enemy... I will fight like I always have." It just shows his true side. He's not a hero, nor is he a villain. He's his own force. He does what he believes to be morally correct, and he doesn't let anyone judge him for it. I also love Shadow because he is quite similar to Vegeta. They're both short-tempered, solitary characters, but they have some compassion too. Both of them lost an important person in their life (Vegeta lost his father, King Vegeta, and Shadow lost Maria). Shadow and Vegeta wanted revenge for what they lost, but they didn't get it. Though they were for different reasons. In Vegeta's case, it was because Goku killed Frieza. In Shadow's case, he remembers Maria's last words, which asked him to protect the people of Earth, and before that, he was doing the opposite. Shadow's rivalry with Sonic seems to mirror Vegeta's rivalry with Goku. At first, Shadow couldn't stand Sonic and they were constantly at odds with each other, but nowadays they are more willing to team up with each other. The same goes for Vegeta and Goku. Shadow is a true anti-hero, and he does what he believes is right, no matter what anyone else says.
 * 12) Frieza-Frieza is an excellent villain. He's extremely sadistic, often wanting to make his enemies suffer before he kills them. He relishes death, agony, and destruction, as shown by his enjoyment of Planet Vegeta's destruction, and he even reffered to the explosion as "beautiful fireworks". This sadism is shown even further by the performances of the Japanese voice actor, Ryūsei Nakao, and the current English voice actor, Christopher Ayres. Both are excellent at voicing Frieza, and their performances really show Frieza's character well. One of my favorite Frieza moments in the Frieza Saga was when he was about to kill Piccolo but Gohan and Krillin use their remaining power to attack him. Frieza then sys, "So the little pests chose to intervene from the sidelines. They just won't rest until I've been pushed to the very limits of my patience." Frieza started laughing maniacally, starting to lose his sanity. Frieza yells, "YOU MEDDLING BRATS! I HOPE YOU ENJOY SUFFERING THE SAME FATE AS THIS PLANET!" Frieza continues to laugh maniacally as he levitates upward, charging his attack in an attempt to destroy Namek. This isn't even the start of why I like Frieza so much. His personality is touched upon the most during Dragon Ball Super. After being killed by Trunks, Frieza found himself in Earth's Hell, wrapped up in a cocoon hanging from a tree surrounded by flowers, guarded by the Angels of Hell. As punishment for his deeds, he is forced to watch as stuffed animals, fairies, and angels joyfully and cheerfully danced and paraded while playing music. Being the evil emperor he was, Frieza found it to be absolute torture. Frieza even told Goku after his revival, "Instead of ruling with an iron fist, I was serenaded by teddy bears!" Before Goku showed up, Frieza witnessed Gohan defeating Tagoma, yet he spared him similar to how Goku initially spared him. Frieza is angered by this, as it brought back horrible memories for him. Frieza then decided to torture Gohan to get revenge on Goku. Goten called out to Gohan, but the latter told the former to stay back, inisting that he would be no match for Frieza. Frieza commented on their brotherly love, and he stated he would be an unforgivable villain if he separated them, so once he finished off Gohan, he would kill Goten too so they could "hold hands in Hell". Frieza explained to Gohan how he was spared by Goku the same way Gohan did with Captain Ginyu, and he proclaimed that Gohan would pay for reminding him of the humiliation he suffered. Frieza proceeded to continuously shoot Death Beams at Gohan to torture him. As he did so, Frieza even asked, "Are you suffering now? It hardly compares to what Goku did to me, so we're not remotely close to being done. And not because I'm a sadist, it's simply tips for that."  Even after Gohan collapsed, he kept on attacking him until he was heavily weakened. Frieza asked him to beg for mercy, yet he stated, "Not that I would let you go, but it's all part of the experience for me. No, mercy would be impossible. I've waited for this too long." Some of Frieza's best moments happened recently, with Fortune Teller Baba allowing to come to the Living World for 24 hours for the Tournament of Power in the Universe Survival Saga. Universe 9's God of Destruction, Sidra, sent some assasins to try to dispose of Frieza. Just in case they failed, Sidra gave them a small portion of his power, an Energy of Destruction sphere. It would erase a victim from existence, so they wouldn't even go to the Otherworld. Naturally, the assasins are no match for Frieza. One of them tries to throw the Energy of Destruction at Frieza, with the first few attempts failing. However, the sphere comes back and hits Frieza. Frieza tries to push it back, but he is overwhelmed. Frieza appears to be in pain, but after a few moments, Frieza smiles evily and says, "Just joking." It turns Frieza was tanking the Energy of Destruction without any trouble. Frieza then proceeds to compress the Energy of Destruction and hold on to it, albeit with a lot of trouble. Frieza even catches Goku off guard and traps him in the Energy of Destruction sphere. Later in the episode, after Beerus and Whis arrive, and the former saves Goku by blowing away the Energy of Destruction sphere, Frieza thinks to himself about how the Tournament of Power is an opportunity to manipulate the Gods. He even thinks to himself, You won't be doing as you please forever, Beerus. Back in the Golden Frieza Saga, Frieza was absolutely terrified by Beerus' prescence. In the Tournament of Power, Frieza attacks Roselle from Universe 9 and tortures him, deciding to use him as his "plaything". After a while, Roselle even jumps off the ring in fear, only to realize what he did too late. After Zen-Oh and Future Zen-Oh erase Universe 9, Frieza is bothered by them, even considering their acts horrendous, and he plans to rule over them someday, likely by manipulating them the same way he plans to do with Beerus and the other gods. But that's not all. In episode 108, Frieza literally tricks Frost in to thinking that he is going to teach him some important skills and work with him by fighting with Gohan and even going Golden to defeat him. Then, after Frost shows him he can use the same buffed-up form that Frieza can, the latter says that he wants to teach him one more thing he probably knows already: "That is...not to trust anyone. Frieza basically proceeds to blast Frost out of the ring.
 * 13) Gohan-Gohan is an interesting character. From the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, we saw Gohan's potential when he attacked Raditz after the latter was beating up the former's dad, Goku. Gohan went through a lot as a child. He was kidnapped by Raditz and then Piccolo at the age of 4, and he was forced to fight Nappa and Vegeta at the age of 5. Then, after a while in the hospital, he went to Namek with Gohan and Krillin (though that was his own decision). I loved Gohan from the beginning of Z to the Cell Saga because despite that he doesn't thirst for battle like his dad does, he still wants to help protect the planet whenver he is needed. Even when his mom insisted that he study instead of fight, he would do everything he could to try to help his friends and dad out. However, one of the problems with him fighting is that he didn't want to hurt anyone. In the Cell Games, Androdi 16 realizes this and he tells Gohan that it is not a horrible thing to fight for a person's loved ones, and as he was killed, Gohan let out his hidden power, and he had become a Super Saiyan 2. There are a few reasons why I love this part, and at the same time I am a bit bothered by it. I liked it because Gohan finally let out all of his hidden power, but I'm bothered by this because Gohan's personality changed a lot in that form. He was far more ruthless, and he was set on making Cell suffer, and he didn't want to finish him off. Cell was taken out of his Perfect form by Gohan, and since he knew he stood no chance, Cell decided to blow himself up. Goku sacrificed his life to save the Earth. When Cell came back, Gohan fought against Cell, and with the help of his dead father, he overwhelmed Cell's Solar Kamehameha, finally finishing him off. In the Buu Saga, Gohan started to slack on his training. A lot of people started to dislike him because of this and Saiyaman. Though I'm not a huge fan of Saiyaman, this still didn't make me dislike Gohan. I still loved him because he still wanted to protect the people of Earth, despite the fact that he was in high school and Videl was trying to find out his secrets. Though, one of the few annoying things about Buu Saga Gohan is how scared he would get whenever Videl would question him about something or get angry at him. I've generally been annoyed how a lot of the male Z-Fighters are scared of the females (Vegeta was generally an exception, but sometimes even he has been scared of Bulma on a few occasions). Regardless, I still liked him because of his selflessness. Unlike his father, Gohan often trains to protect the Earth, not simply to get stronger. Though Goku also wants to help protect his family, in Gohan's case it is more apparent. Additionally, though Gohan also slacked off during the events of Dragon Ball Super, I gained even more respect for him because of how excellent of a father and wife he was. Though he started training more in the Universe 6 Saga, he never went off to Beerus' Planet to train for an extended period, like Goku did. He even gave up a job as professor because he wanted to be with Pan and Videl. In episode 73, where Barry Kahn was threatening to tell the media that Gohan is the Great Saiyaman, Gohan didn't give up like he did against Videl in the Buu Saga when she found out he was Saiyaman. Instead, he demanded that Barry would leave his house. In the following episode, Gohan was nearly killed by infected Barry, yet the encouragement of his wife and daughter pushed him to continue fighting as he could not stand losing in front of Pan. Gohan is a far more well-developed character than Goku, and despite the fact that he doesn't thirst for battle, he still is willing to step up and defend the planet from any threats.
 * 14) Videl-At first, Videl was a bit annoying because of how nosy she was. I understand her being suspicious of Gohan, especially since she was skeptical of her father Mr. Satan's claim that he defeated Cell, so she has a reason to be suspicious of everyone. However, I was bothered by how she was trying to follow Gohan home from high school. Again, I understand her being suspicious, though stalking him is a bit much. However, there are plenty of changes to Videl's character which makes me like her later on. From the beginning, she assisted the police force of Satan City, not for fame like her father, but to protect the city, which was one of the qualities that from the beginning made me like her more than most of the other Dragon Ball females. She had a lot of the same sort of temper than Chi-Chi and Bulma had, but after she and Goten were taught how to fly by Gohan, she started to lose that temper and not get angry as easily, which made me like her a bit more than Bulma and Chi-Chi. Also, I loved how badass she was in the World Martial Arts Tournament against Spopovich. It was one of the first times a female character actually had a major role in a long time. Chi-Chi hadn't fought in a tournament since near the end of the original Dragon Ball, and Bulma was never a fighter. Videl's determination to win was another thing I admired about her. Even though she was getting her ass handed to her by Spopovich, she wanted to keep on going so she could move out of her father's shadow. For a long time, people knew her as the daughter of Mr. Satan, and she wanted to create her own legacy. Though I was a little disappointed Videl stopped fighting by Dragon Ball Super, a lot of changes happened to her character which gave me a ton of respect for her. In DBS, Videl had mellowed out a lot more to the point where she doesn't get as angry as easily, but when she does, she has a clear reason to be angry. One of those moments was in Episode 73, where the actor Barry Kahn blackmailed the idol Cocoa Amaguri into having Gohan stay at her place overnight. When he was about to leave, she kissed him on the lips and Barry took a picture. He then arrived at Gohan's house and showed Videl the picture thinking it would break up their family. Instead, Videl lashed out at Barry, stating that it was pathetic how upset he got by seeing Gohan stand out so much, and she insisted that Gohan wouldn't do that on purpose and there must be a reason for it happening. I'm pretty sure if Chi-Chi or Bulma saw Goku or Vegeta in a picture like that, they would probably blow it way out of proportion. I think even 18 would get upset if Krillin were in that picture instead of Gohan. Later, in Episode 74, Barry (possessed by an alien named Watagash) attacked Gohan (as Great Saiyaman) and fought him in the city, he was blasted by an energy wave, and Cocoa thought he was dead. However, Videl insisted he was alive, and she believed that Gohan could not stand for losing in front of Pan, who thought her father was an unstoppable hero. She also stated that she could never show herself losing control and crying in front of her daughter. Those two episodes gave me a ton of respect for her because it showed how much faith she had in her husband, and despite that she has mellowed out from her first appearance, that she can strong-willed when necessary. There's another scene in episode 13 which really interested me. It may not have been significant to the plot, but to me it was pretty significant in revealing how Videl's personality had changed. At that point in the episode, Goku had lost his Super Saiyan God powers. Goten noticed that he could feel his dad's ki, and Piccolo realized that he had returned to the state of a regular Super Saiyan. Whis confirmed this, and Goten asked if Goku could still win against Beerus. Whis sollemly shook his head and answered, "I'm afraid not." Tears started to form in Goten's eyes as a result of this. Immediately after, Videl ran over next to him and she tried to cheer him up, and she told him, "Cheer up. He doesn't know your dad." She then turned to Whis and yelled, "You know, you were wrong before! You said our solar system would blow up, and maybe the universe too, but then nothing happened! And you're wrong now!" When I was watching the episode with English subs, that scene legitimately surprised me. If If there was anyone I would have expected to try to calm Goten down in that situation, I thought it would have been Chi-Chi (though she went over near the end of the episode) or Gohan, not Videl. And when watching the English Dub, Videl seemed legitimately angry when yelling at Whis. Ever since then, I have been trying to understand what caused Videl to react this way. I knew she obviously had a close relationship with Gohan and Chi-Chi, but she rarely interacted with Goten on screen. It could be possible that it was just her maternal instinct, but it could have been more than that, as she reacted literally right after Goten started to cry. I still am baffled by this scene, and to me it really is significant because it shows how Videl's characters has changed since her first appearance. Though that episode intrigued me, this was far from one of the major reasons I now like Videl a lot. Episode 17 to me, was far more significant in building up Videl's character. In that episode, Gohan and Videl's daughter Pan was born, and Mr. Satan and Gohan (as Saiyaman) were playing around with Pan, and she was being tossed around, yet she was laughing the whole time. Chi-Chi came in, and she stopped them, thinking she was in danger. Chi-Chi also wanted to raise Pan to be lady-like and not as a martial artist. She then went into a room with Pan and Videl and locked the others out. Bulma tried to get them to come out, put she was pulled in. Bulma asked Videl how she thought she would raise Pan, and she admitted she likes both martial arts and things that most women like, so she said that she would be fine with allowing Pan to either one of those or something else entirely. I liked how Videl seemed very unbiased about this, unlike Chi-Chi, who has often been against letting her sons train and fight. Videl seems to have a lot of excellent traits that almost all of the other main Dragon Ball females lack, and her actions in certain episodes of Dragon Ball Super have given me a lot of respect for her.
 * 15) Jiren - Jiren is one of the newest Dragon Ball Super characters, yet he quickly became one of my favorites. His first major moment was when he fought Super Saiyan Berseker Kale. He fired a Power Blast at her, and he then turned his back to her, and two words came out of his mouth: "It's over." This was followed by a badass explosion and Kale falling back to her base form. Normally, those words wouldn't mean much, but in this case, it was one of the most badass things he could have said. Jiren's personality is also appealing. He's incredibly calm and confident, and he doesn't say much, but when he does, it makes him all the more badass. As I watched more episodes of Dragon Ball Super, I started to like him more and more, including his defeat of Maji-Kayo, in which he literally beat him with just the force of his fist. But the one event that made me like Jiren even more was the 1 hour special. I loved Jiren's mental conversation with Belmod, since it indicated they have a unique connection with each other. And then, Jiren released his ki, and every fighter in the World of Void felt it. It even sent chills down Beerus' spine. The same God of Destruction that literally blew away the Energy of Destruction Sphere that Golden Frieza struggled with, and nearly killed Arale, who had matched SSB Goku without even trying. And Jiren pretty much dominated Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Goku without any trouble. Whis even stated that Goku was using Kaioken times TWENTY on top of Super Saiyan Blue against Jiren to begin with. One of Jiren's best lines was when Goku's Ultra Instinct form: "Saiyans...quite interesting beings. But.........this heat.... that is your limit." He simply dubbed Goku "interesting". Jiren's fight with Hit wasn't a disappointment either. Even with Hit repeatedly using Time Skip, Jiren was dominating the whole time. And then, after Jiren was frozen in a cage of time, and Hit was ready to attack and finish him off, Jiren stopped the attack with a glare. This pretty much gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "If looks could kill." Jiren grabbed the energy attack, and while crushing it, he said, "An assassin's pride? What rubbish!" Overall, Jiren is an incredibly badass character, being stoic and collected even in certain situations, like the erasure of Universe 9. Additionally, though he doesn't have many speaking roles, when he does, they only make the battles that he is in more exciting, even simple phrases such as: "It's over."
 * 16) Hit -
 * 17) Goku

Another thing, Beerus and Vegeta are both tied, and Goten isn't too far behind. I put Vegeta higher because he has far more development than almost any other Dragon Ball character, but I like him and Beerus equally.
