Other Dragon Ball Characters
Goku
14k works
A Saiyan raised on Earth as Son Goku, whose bottomless appetite for food and stronger opponents has saved the universe more times than he can count. The genre's founding protagonist — pure-hearted, battle-drunk, and cheerfully terrible at staying dead.
Vegeta
12k works
The Prince of all Saiyans, who arrived to destroy Earth and stayed forty years out of spite, pride, and a family he will deny enjoying. His decades-long climb from genocidal rival to devoted husband and father is shounen's most gradual redemption arc.
Gohan
7k works
Goku's scholarly first son, the boy whose hidden rage annihilated Cell and who would still rather be a researcher than a fighter. The Cell Games made him the franchise's biggest what-if, and fic loves timelines where he stays the strongest.
