What Dragonball character had the most wasted potential?

[MarcusDigital]

At first thought I wanted 2 say Gohan. All though true thinking about goten and kid trunks WHEN THEY WENT SUPER SAIYAN THEY WERE KIDS ...WITH THE ABILITY TO FUSE TO SSJ3 FORM. Let that sink in.

I knw some great arguments for gohan and ubb but goten and kid trunks

i always felt some type of way about both of them being lame as fukk as teens/adults. Pan was >>> both them dudes.

True, I just think the whole dynamic of rivals turned into grudging friends/brothers makes Goku that much better of a character.

Vegeta would be a complex character with or without Goku, but Goku without Vegeta becomes an even plainer character.

Without Goku, Vegeta would just be your typical evil villain who wants to rule the world.

Goku without Vegeta would be exactly the same.

Piccolo such a dope character and has the most unique moveset in the series. Sucks that he got shafted in the era of hairstyle powerups

Yeah that was my biggest dissapoitment in GT seeing them be lame and not developed. Goten could of exceeded that gohan potential.

Dragonball super will make it all better

Well Vegeta would still be former prince turned into Frieza's lapdog. Making him more complex than Goku already.
I admit that Goku has a greater impact on Vegeta than Vegeta on Goku, but the show still presents them as each other's greatest rival. So it's only logical that the two are equals.

i often wonder why he even needed to be goku's brother at all. it didn't really serve the story in any way.

if you remove that aspect of their relationship nothing changes. plus it's not like he was ever brought up again. seems kinda silly to add that layer to a character that turned out to be so inconsequential.

Yeah it was a complete waste. They killed him so quick it was ridiculous.


I voted for Piccolo. He whooped a lot of ass during the Cell Saga. Too bad he never reached his full potential.

Gohan and it isn't even close.

Piccolo was also made into a disappointment.

I guess, but I still feel like Vegeta stole Piccolo's spot.

Probably Gohan. He went from bodying Cell and taking up Goku's torch as the protector of earth and most powerful fighter alive to being a corny dude. With all of his Great Saiyaman nonsense and getting curbstomped left and right. The Buu Saga should have been his moment.

The way they did Piccolo was grimey too

 

[Solo ✧✦✧]

Gohan, after this moment I thought for sure he was taking over but nope

Pikon

I honestly have to go with Pan. She had so much potential at the end of DBZ to be a cool character, especially considering how few female fighters there were in the show -




To be that strong at four...honestly she could've been Goku's true successor. Especially since, unlike Gohan, she actually likes fighting. Then fukk ass GT had to come around and ruin her character.

 

[MoneyTron]

Gohan easily. After that power up in the Buu Saga, he could've been the GOAT.
