Dragon Ball Z always intended for Gohan to take the lead role after Goku, and the Buu Saga seemed to set him up for just that. With the focus of the series zeroing in on Gohan, it seemed like the beginning of a bold new generation for Dragon Ball. However, as the story progressed, Goku returned to the spotlight and resumed the central role, ultimately delivering the final blow against the series’ next major villain. 6391m

The Saiyans in Dragon Ball were a race that was annihilated by Frieza after he used his power to destroy Planet Vegeta. While they were a warrior race known for their strength and conquering planets, the story often portrays them as tragic victims who were overwhelmed by a force they could not overcome. However, a retcon in Dragon Ball Super changes that narrative after King Vegeta exiles Broly due to his immense potential.

Few characters in Dragon Ballare more divisive as fighters than Gohan. Despite how often the series talks about Gohan’s hidden potential, he rarely ever shows it for long before falling back to being weak from a lack of training, and that’s created a constant divide between fans who are fine with Gohan’s character and fans who want him to be a more serious fighter.

Dragon Ball features some of the most iconic characters in anime and manga history. Goku and Vegeta have more or less become unofficial mascots of the art forms over the last several decades, while even its side characters, like Krillin and Yamcha, are well known outside the incredibly large and ever-growing Dragon Ball fan base. Ultimately, however, the series' Saiyans will always lead the way in of popularity. One of which, oddly enough, has remained popular among fans and even the creator of the series since his debut, despite having little screen time.
