Top 10 Characters That Should Be the Face of Dragon Ball Instead of Goku

The Top Ten
1 Vegeta Vegeta is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

Goku is a bland character. Can't relate to him at all. Vegeta, on the other hand, went through hell being raised by psychos and surrounded by destruction since childhood. He only wanted a wish to be immortal to defeat Frieza. So what if he's trying to save his own ass? That's how he was raised; kill or be killed. But he learned from all his failures and even though his pride got crush over and over, he kept going. He's still determined to be the very best. He never gives up (no matter how much Toriyama wants to shut on him). And of course, Vegeta is the better father and husband after he finally admitted to himself that he has a heart. Goku meanwhile runs off at the first opportunity. I doubt he remembers that he's married, e sp. a fter Toriyama confirmed in an interview that Goku sees his family more as companions, people he share a house with while Vegeta is the family man and we all know how Toriyama loves Goku and hates Vegeta. He wouldn't have said that for kicks. He didn't ...more

Vegeta went through major character development.He cares about his family unlike Goku who always leaves them. Nobody cares about Uub and yet Goku just had to leave to train that irrelevant character because he's a fight addict. Vegeta didn't want to go to training with Whis because Bulma was about to have a baby. Goku just said gleefully that he was absent for Goten's birth. He needs to grow up. Vegeta arrived at Earth as a villain and he ended up being such a great character. He even regretted the namek massacre in Dbs manga. He's changed completely.

Actually it is a good thing that Vegeta never got a chance to be a spotlight. That pathetic bastard only thinks about himself and even then those fools want him to be the face of dbz. In the show nobody was happy with that pathetic loafer that he should get a chance No matter what people say still Krillin and Piccolo had better character than swine

Even when Goku endured with Vegeta's hatred and showed even then fans want him to be the face of dbz. Don't worry their wish for that pathetic loafer to be face of dbz for they were characterless people.

2 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 ...read more.

The only one good enough to be The Great Goku's successor. I wouldn't mind if Gohan were the face of DBZ, he deserves it. Goku did pass the torch to him in Cell saga.

He's been a badass since childhood

Nobody wanted this. That's why Toriyama had to bring Goku back.

Its chi Chi's fault

3 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.

He deserves this

4 Future Trunks

I honestly think Future Trunks makes a great argument for a protagonist for his own show. He's a likeable character (Unlike when portrayed in Xenoverse part of the way through) who has had his own hardships and growths. Vegeta would be interesting but I find his recklessness unfitting for THE main character as the face. I love Vegeta and all but he'd always be a co-star to me. His son is much more fitting in my eyes.

Better choice if it's not Vegeta.

5 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.

Whoever made this list is a big idiot who deserves serious consequences. In other animes as this discussions are made like who else will be given a chance. If Goku won't help who else will help and Vegeta is a loafer

Honestly Krillin would've made a better main character than Goku who is just incredibly retarded and a pain to watch on screen.

Goku is the best. Whoever created this list truly deserves a tight slap to the face.

A joke

6 Frieza Freeza (Pronounced "Frieza" in the Funimation dub) is fictional character in the Dragon Ball series by Akira Toriyama as the primary antagonist of the Freeza Saga.

7 Android 8 Android 8 is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
8 Tien Town is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
9 Goten Goten is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

Goten is a cutie pie but he shouldn't be the main character. Maybe the deuteragonist, tritagonist or something...

A descendant of Goku would do it. Not an overconfident dumbass who keeps messing up everyone's day.

Too stupid to lead, that's why he's Trunks' slave.

One stupid main character is enough.

11 Cell Cell is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball series by Akira Toriyama. He is the main antagonist of the Android Saga, being an android/artificial life form from the future, whose goal is to become "perfect" via absorbing Androids 17 and 18 and becoming the strongest fighter in the universe.
12 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.

17 Raditz Raditz is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
18 Kid Trunks Kid Trunks is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
19 Brianne de Chateau
20 Jiren Jiren is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

I would love a show where we see Jiren's life after the survival arc, he could be a really good main character if done right.

Also, series finale would be his rematch against Goku.

It would be interesting if they had a episode where they show the life perspective of Jiren.

21 Uub
