quote:

SON GOKU (Masako Nozawa)
A Saiyan raised on Earth, who has protected Earth from numerous mighty foes. He likes fighting against strong opponents, and the stronger the opponent, the more excited he gets. After the battle with God of Destruction Beerus, he is now training under Whis in search of even greater strength.

VEGETA (Ryō Horikawa)
This prideful prince of the Saiyans. He was once a cruel warrior of evil, but through his fights with Goku & co., he has come to have a proper heart. He burns with an unyielding desire to best Goku in battle, and now is continuing his training.

SON GOHAN (Masako Nozawa)
Goku’s son, an Earthling/Saiyan hybrid. He has a quiet personality, and his dream has been to become a scholar since he was a small child, but when it comes time to fight, he wields a power even greater than that of pure Saiyans. This time, he can’t find his dōgi, so he joins the fray in his gym clothes.

PICCOLO (Toshio Furukawa)
A Namekian warrior. He was once a Great Demon King, the evil half of Earth’s God. He is also Gohan’s master, who raised him as a warrior. Together with Gohan, he perceives Freeza’s ki right away, and engages Freeza & co. in battle.

KURIRIN (Mayumi Tanaka)
The strongest Earthling warrior, who became a pupil of Kame-Sen’nin’s with Goku, and who has fought together with him in numerous life-or-death battles. Now he patrols the town as a police officer.

TENSHINHAN (Hikaru Midorikawa)
A martial artist formerly of the Crane School, who had aspired to become the world’s best hitman, but had a change of heart after meeting Goku & co. He had continued on a journey of training apart from Goku and the others, but perceiving Freeza’s massively powerful ki, he rushes to the scene.

KAME-SEN’NIN (Masaharu Satō)
A legendary martial artist who was once famous as the Muten Rōshi, and also Goku’s master. Now, he lives a quiet life at Kame House. Having stayed out of the battles for a while, this time he makes his long-awaited return and joins the fight.

BULMA (Hiromi Tsuru)
The very first of Goku’s friends, who he first met in the mountains. She is the scion of Capsule Corporation, and a genius with machines, such as developing the Dragon Radar. She catches wind of Freeza’s revival from a certain character.

VIDEL (Yūko Minaguchi)
The daughter of world champion fighter Mister Satan. She met Gohan in high school, and married him after the fight with Majin Buu. Now she is the mother of a child.

No. 18 (Miki Itō)
An Artificial Human remodeled by the genius scientist Doctor Gero with the goal of killing Goku. After the fight with Cell, she married Kuririn, and lives together with her daughter Marron at Kame House. She shaves the head of Kuririn, who is serious about his first fight in a long time.

BEERUS (Kōichi Yamadera)
The god who governs destruction, keeping the balance of the cosmos. If he should lose his temper, he will destroy the worlds and lives around him. The mightiest being, who not even Goku could beat as a Super Saiyan God. After the fight with Goku, he fell back into a long slumber, but…?

WHIS (Masakazu Morita)
A man of many mysteries, who works in tandem with Beerus. He is also Beerus’ master, the depths of whose power is unknown. After the fight between Goku and Beerus, he trains Goku and Vegeta, who seek even greater strength.

ORACLE FISH (Shōko Nakagawa)
A mysterious fish that gives prophecies. It once prophesized the appearance of a mighty foe to Beerus, which came true through the appearance of Goku as a Super Saiyan God. Has a careless personality, and will forget even its own prophecies.

PILAF, SHUU, MAI (Shigeru Chiba, Tesshō Genda, Eiko Yamada)
Minor villains who plot world domination with the Dragon Balls, but are always stopped by Goku & co. Never learning their lesson, they sought out the Dragon Balls, but they ended up getting used by Freeza’s forces…?

Krillin finally confirmed to be canonically the strongest human.

Grown-up Gohan is just a disappointment regardless of the medium he appears in. He was crappy in GT, he looks dumb in this. He was pretty good in the Buu saga, but I guess it doesn't count seeing as he was supposed to be 16.

I think he was in the background? Maybe? I don't even think he got a throwaway line, though; if he did, it was like a single sentence.

He's gonna end up at the same bar as Launch.

He had a line when Beerus challenged Oolong to a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. It was just him telling Oolong to throw Paper because he had human hands instead of hooves.

You joke, but he's probably going to be pumped up to be this cool super cop, end up writing tickets most of the time, and then put the first shoplifter he sees in the hospital. Then it's right back to sitting around Kame House.

Rudoku posted:

This is quite literally #18's entire character after being spat out by Cell too.
It's quite actively frustrating to watch at points in the Buu saga where she's in Bulma's helicopter/jet and it's about to crash and she only realises with seconds to go she's actually a robot woman strong enough to kick the poo poo out of Super Saiyans and is actually bad-rear end.

Also the time where Krillin goes to distract Buu from chocolating everyone and then she does a runner with Marron only to be chocolate'd straight up anyway.

To be fair loving nobody on that tower was doing anything to Buu, let alone the people they were actually stalling for time to come bail them out.

Also, I was always under the impression that the Androids were really strong, but couldn't get stronger than they were when they were created.

Nah, there's at least one scene where it's said they got stronger and they show the ability to learn new techniques and such.

I think it's just Toriyama being Toriyama and forgetting about stuff.

Josuke Higashikata

Yeah, that's what I seem to believe about them too though I can't place why or where I heard that.

It's not really a point of being about to damage and hurt Buu, just that she was by far the strongest person there and she's arguably the least useful of the people there.

Yamcha aside, naturally.

In the manga, or is it anime filler like Kid Buu being the strongest?

The new techniques thing is news to me, my memories of the android saga are spotty so I don't remember them doing anything like that.
