Supporting Characters
A series is often only as good as its characters. Both Naruto and Dragon Ball have extensive supporting casts, but only one series has a Vegeta.
Naruto’s cast is impressive. Powerful ninja from the past and present and like Madara, Hashirama, Jiraiya, Ten Ten, Tsunade, the list goes on. All are unique and bring something entertaining to the table. And watching each major character do battle is a treat itself. From beginning to end the side stories and people you meet will keep you engaged without ever falling short. It’s impressive for a series that has been running so long.
Dragon Ball’s cast, specifically Dragon Ball Z’s, is one of the most well-known in anime. Gohan, Goku’s oldest, is considered a favorite, Krillin is everyone’s favorite weakling, Piccolo is the world’s strongest babysitter, and then you have Vegeta. The prince of all Saiyans (of which there is only a handful) is easily one of the best characters to ever grace an anime.
He pulls off the cocky rival role better than Sasuke could ever hope to. Plus, when you get to see his love for Bulma (another amazing character who helped kick the series off) and his son Trunks (a badass who saves the world by traveling through time), he becomes even better. He has a full range of being. Going from rude, powerful murderer to loving, self-sacrificing friend at the drop of a dime if the situation calls for it.
While Naruto and Dragon Ball are relatively even in most regards, you gotta give it up for Vegeta.
