I ranked them by how strong they are AND how cool they are, so it's not just power. Each one has two bars like in a fighting game. Only guys that have been on Toonami count, so no Super Saiyan stuff yet. Bad guys count too. << Back to the Power Page

#1 GOKU POWER COOL Obviously. He trained on King Kai's planet after he died, where the gravity is ten times Earth's, and then he trained at a hundred times gravity in his spaceship on the way to Namek. When he got there he beat Recoome with basically one hit and Burter didn't even get to touch him. He has the Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb. And he always gives the bad guy a chance to stop, which Nick says is dumb, but it's why he's the hero.

#2 VEGETA POWER COOL Maximum cool. Here is the best fight in the whole show so far: Goku vs. Vegeta on Earth. Goku's Kamehameha and Vegeta's Galick Gun hit each other in the middle and they both push and push. Then Vegeta makes his own moon out of energy and turns into a giant ape, and it looks like it's over. Then Yajirobe sneaks up and cuts off his tail with a sword, Krillin throws Goku's Spirit Bomb, Vegeta dodges it, and Gohan BOUNCES it right back into him. Then at the end Goku lets him go. I have the tape of that whole week and I have watched it about forty times.

#3 PICCOLO POWER COOL The Special Beam Cannon is the best-named attack in the show. He used it to beat Raditz when Goku was holding him. He has a cape and a turban and he can grow his arm back. And he fused with Nail this week, which made him WAY stronger, so he's moving up this list if Toonami does what I think.

#4 FRIEZA (BAD GUY) POWER COOL He might be the strongest one on this whole list right now. He's only #4 because he is evil and I am not putting a bad guy over Goku. He can blow up a planet. He TRANSFORMS. He had two guys whose whole job was to stand next to him, until Vegeta got rid of them. Very scary.

#5 GOHAN POWER COOL He's like five and he already did more than most grown-ups. When Raditz had his dad, Gohan got so mad he busted out and slammed right into Raditz. The power bar is only half because you never know if it will show up. When it does, look out.

#6 KRILLIN POWER COOL Andrew made me put him higher than Tien. Fine. He's brave and he's the funniest one and he threw the Spirit Bomb. And his Destructo Disk almost got Nappa, it just nicked him because Nappa ducked. If it had hit, totally different show.

#7 CAPTAIN GINYU (BAD GUY) POWER COOL The Ginyu Force do POSES before they fight. Every time. Nick and Andrew and me made up our own poses for recess. Ginyu can switch bodies with you, which is the creepiest power in the show, and he switched with Goku. But then he tried to switch again and Goku threw a frog in the way, and now Captain Ginyu is a FROG. Best ending for a bad guy ever.

#8 TIEN POWER COOL He has THREE EYES. That alone gets you on the list. He used his Tri-Beam on Nappa and put everything he had into it. It didn't work but he went all out.

#9 NAPPA (BAD GUY) POWER COOL Big bald Saiyan with a mustache who came to Earth with Vegeta. He wrecked everybody until Goku showed up, and then Goku beat him so fast it wasn't even close. Then Vegeta got rid of him himself for losing. Harsh.

#10 RADITZ (BAD GUY) POWER COOL Goku's brother! He's the first bad guy in DBZ and he has the LONGEST hair. He's the one who told Goku he was a Saiyan. He's last because everybody after him is way stronger, but without him there's no show.

Think I'm wrong? I'm not. But you can e-mail me at [email protected] and tell me your top 10 anyway.
