1 Tien
Town is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. 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
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.
Wasted in Tournament of Power, with his only real match ending in a tie.
2 Trunks
Trunks is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. He doesn't even have potential in the first place so how can he waste it?
3 Goten
Goten is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. More potential then Trunks so more wasted.
Once a loser, always a loser.
4 Yamcha
Yamcha (ヤムチャ, Yamucha) is a Bandit and a main protagonist in the Dragon Ball manga and in the anime Dragon Ball, and later a supporting protagonist in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, with a few appearances in Dragon Ball GT. He has black hair and has a scar across his eye and cheek. 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
5 Pan
Pan (パン, Pan) is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. She is the granddaughter of Earth's savior, Goku and the world champion, Mr. Satan. Pan's heritage is primarily Earthling, being the offspring of the Saiyan-Earthling hybrid Gohan and the Earthling Videl, thus making her 1/4 Saiyan. 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.
6 Gohan
Son Gohan is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. Gohan is introduced as the first son of the protagonist Goku, and his wife Chi-Chi, in chapter #196 Kakarrot, first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on October 24, 1988. Chi-Chi is a strict and protective mother to Gohan, forcing him to focus on his studies and forbidding him from practicing martial arts. However, due to the various threats to the Earth, she reluctantly allows him to fight, with him ultimately becoming one of the strongest characters in the series. Gohan has been well received by both fans and critics, the latter usually citing the character's growth from his initial appearance ...read more. He should've stayed the hero. He should've killed Buu, dammit!
Gohan is not first in a list like this list.

8 Bra/Bulla
Bulla is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
9 Videl
Videl is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. 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.
10 Piccolo
Piccolo is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He first appeared in chapter 161 of the Dragon Ball manga in the Shonen Jump magazine on February 22, 1988. He is a member of the alien Namekian race and has abilities such as ki manipulation, regeneration, telepathy, flight, and superhuman hearing.
The Contenders
11 Raditz
Raditz is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. 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.
12 Uub
Like if your going to create someone like uub you need to use him
13 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. ...read more.
14 Chiaotzu
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.
15 Broly
Broly is the main antagonist in the Broly Triple Threat trilogy and Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. He appears to be the latest of the Legendary Super Saiyans who appear every thousand years. His father was Paragus. Broly was totally wasted in the Triple Threat Trilogy. And he's so popular he's coming back for Super. Good thinking Akira Toriyama.
16 King Cold
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?
17 Kid Gohan
18 Dabura
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
19 Nappa
