1. Vegeta
- The anti-hero of the series; the perfect balance of anger, pride, arrogance and emotion. Characterisation of Vegeta is complex and plausible.
- Provides us with the most epic speeches in the series
- Also provides us with some comedic moments: "LET HIM KISS YOUR WOMAN", "GREAT GALAXY! If I know my own anatomy, that leads straight for the southern exit!" and the unforgettable "Son of a Namek!"
