Top Ten Dragon Ball Characters with the Most Wasted Potential

In my opinion Tien is the most skilled character but Akira Toriyama and toyotaro wasted his potential and I feel like he should have done so much more.
Kiko F yourself- Tien's Last words
I loved when he suddenly showed up against Semi-Perfect Cell. He put up a decent challenge for his supremely inferior power level. Props
Wasted in Tournament of Power, with his only real match ending in a tie.

No, why does everyone keep saying that, how are you all blinded to the fact that Vegeta knew if he got more strenght he would be to slow to face cell, trunks didn't know, vegeta could become more stronger but then lose speed just like trunks did, cell even said it himself that 'even vegeta figured it out' about the lack of speed with such a body, please stop saying trunks surpassed vegeta cause it never happened
He doesn't even have potential in the first place so how can he waste it?
Trunks even said, of course father figured it out, how could I be so stupid, and cell said 'even vegeta figured it out' trunks was never stronger, vegeta could have got as strong as trunks did but he knew that he would lack speed

More potential then Trunks so more wasted.
Once a loser, always a loser.

I really feel sorry for him. He got blindsided by a Saibaman, and lost his girlfriend to a jackass Saiyan. He deserves SOME pity, don't you think? Stop making fun of Yamcha!
It was sad, he had great potential... To be the world's greatest comedian! He'd just say "don't worry guys, Yamcha is here! " And the whole crowd would be laughing
Don't worry, I'll save you! Dies in one punch

Her potential is definitely wasted. In dragon ball z she is barely shown. In dbgt she's one of the strongest characters, yet she is still weak. She's annoying and unappealing to audiences. All you want to do is tell her to stop yelling. Her and Samuel Jackson must get along well haha. She more of a bothersome not then a real help. And the whole not being able to go ssj is a big down side.
What potential? She's the weakest link.
So much wasted potential.

He should've stayed the hero. He should've killed Buu, dammit!
Gohan is not first in a list like this list.


How can videl be wasting potential? She's a normal human, you know kinda like krillin... except she hasn't had any real form of z fighter training... where is the potential to start this magical character on?
Just... no. There WAS no potential in her. I knew the moment she was introduced she was gonna be dead weight. More so than everyone's rude opinion of Yamcha. Videl is so much more useless than Yamcha.


Like if your going to create someone like uub you need to use him


The best thing he did in dbz was to attack Nappa.
I know.. He failed and commit suicide.
And yes, I don't like chiaotzu.

He should be #1! He's Goku's brother and he was just thrown away 3 episodes in!
Raditz could have been such a great villain/hero if Toriyama had done anything with him.


Broly was totally wasted in the Triple Threat Trilogy. And he's so popular he's coming back for Super. Good thinking Akira Toriyama.

I think King Cold should've had a True Form like Frieza. If he managed to show it, he would have at least put up an interesting fight against Future Trunks
Please do explain why king cold didn't fight Goku?






One of the most intimidating character designs in all of Dragon Ball. Wasted to set up Majin Buu arch when he could have set up an entirely different villain arch on his own
