Top 10 Most Important Dragon Ball Z Characters

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

He is the inspiration of most of the hard working and hopeful people like me, he never gives up and there's no doubt vegeta has more fans than goku but I think writers don't care about those people and who see themselves in him if one day he is shown as the strongest then it would really make their(fans) will even stronger and their belief in hard work... However the character still teaches us that whatever happens we are not going to give up

Looks about wrong. He never killed anyone important, and mostly causes harm due to his arrogant, cocky and over-confident tendency.

Most important, inspiring, interesting, loved, popular... He's the badass Prince Vegeta.

Just like he's the best dbz character, he's also the most important.

2 Goku Son Goku (Kakarrot) is the main protagonist in Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. He has many abilities like, super strength, utilization of ki, flight, teleportation, super speed, enhanced reflexes, and Super Saiyan transformation that increase strength, speed, and durability. ...read more.

He's obviously the most important character. DBZ without Goku is like Naruto without, well, Naruto

Mann why is vegeta above him everybody knows he is the most important

To think that biasing fans would actually cote Vegeta over Goku... Pfffttt... Favoritism.

Without Goku no villain can be defeated.

12 Dr. Gero
13 Yamcha

Even if he is not the strongest and had a minor role in Dragon Ball Z (Because someone was playing favorites) his role is actually important. He:
1. Helped Bulma and Goku stop Emperor Pilaf (although indirectly)
2. He (and Puar) Saved Bulma (an important character) from Monster Carrot.
3. He saved Bulma again from Great Ape Goku.
4. Saved Bulma from a truck (Probably filler but people still remember the filler moments of Goku and Vegeta, so its double standard.)
5. Help fight the invisible man.
6. He saved Krillin from dying by fighting the Saibaman who could have killed the man who would later help Goku become stronger.
7. Fought Recoome (Filler but again awesome.)
8. Help find the androids and reveal their abilities.
9. Carry sick Goku without having the more stronger fighters leave the androids.
