Top 10 Best Supporting Characters in Dragon Ball Z

The Top Ten

  1. Piccolo

    Piccolo is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He first appeared in chapter 161 of the manga, published in Weekly Shōnen Jump on February 9, 1988.

    He is a member of the Namekian race and has powers that include ki manipulation, regeneration, telepathy... read more

    Man, Piccolo, you are always calm as a cucumber, but I think you're a little weak because you fused with Nail, then you fused with Kami. Goku better watch his back, though, because everyone knows you as the mean green ass-kicking machine.

    Although he started out as one of the main bad guys, in DBZ he became an ally. He isn't that powerful anymore, but the franchise is nothing without Piccolo.

    Piccolo is the most intelligent character in Dragon Ball. He is the best.

  2. Krillin

    Krillin (クリリン, Kuririn) is a supporting protagonist in the Dragon Ball manga and the anime series Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super. When he first met Goku, they had a brief rivalry while training under Master Roshi, but they quickly became lifelong best friends.... read more

    Not being the strongest character makes him by far the most noble. He stands up to some of the toughest villains, knowing he has little chance of survival, but he's always willing to put his best friend before himself.

    Whether saving the galaxy or getting the girl, Krillin always helped Goku become the hero we all know and love.

    Krillin is easily the best character on the show. He's hilarious, makes me feel good, provides comic relief, and helps Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo out on many occasions.

  3. Bulma Brief

    Bulma is a fictional character in Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga series. She is the most prominent and enduring female character in the franchise, appearing from its earliest chapters through its various sequels. Bulma is known for her intelligence, inventions, and her role in assisting the series... read more

    It all started because Bulma wanted an endless supply of strawberries and the perfect boyfriend - Vegeta.

  5. Tien Shinhan

    Tien Shinhan is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. He first appeared in Dragon Ball chapter 113, published on February 24, 1987. Tien is a disciplined martial artist with a third eye and is known for using techniques like the Tri-Beam and the Multi-Form.

    Tien Shinhan is one of the more serious side characters, who often goes underused and underappreciated. He is one of the hardest-working side characters, but unlike Dragon Ball, he is given a much worse role in Dragon Ball Z, with only a few moments showcasing that he should be the strongest human.

  6. Zarbon

    Zarbon is a high-ranking commander in the Frieza Force and serves as Frieza's right-hand man. He works alongside Dodoria and plays a major role in advising Frieza on strategic matters, including the destruction of the Saiyan race.

He later appears as a supporting character in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super and makes a few appearances in Dragon Ball GT.

    Yamcha is awesome, but he should get more credit because he rocks.

  8. Dende

    Dende is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. He is a young Namekian with powerful healing abilities and later becomes the Guardian of Earth. Dende plays a significant role in supporting the main characters, especially during the Frieza and Buu sagas.

    This man is funny as hell, plus he is serious when needed.
