Thank you, Akira Toriyama. You've inspired countless and left a mark that has touched so many lives over the world.

Dragon ball was such a staple of my childhood and was one of the reasons I could get through so many rough moments. For that I will forever be grateful.

Fun fact Luffy wanted to get stronger so he could look like Goku

[frankencanon]

I'm curious to see how the results will change now that the top contenders from each poll are all being pitted against one another!

—

※ Why were these specific characters chosen?

All of the characters above were taken from the top six results of the two preliminary polls.

※ What do you mean by "best protagonist"?

Which character would you most prefer to have in the role of protagonist?

What sort of personality, backstory, attitude, skills, motivations, morals, and various other traits would you prefer for the protagonist of a shounen series to have?

(It's also fine to just vote for your favorite character however since "likability" is, afterall, a very important, very vital part of being a protagonist...)

Some things never change

LEGO MONKIE KID X DRAGON BALL Z : Equivalent Soul Au.

Context: Sun Wukong Died by Azure Lion's slash and he got reincarnated or his soul merge On Son Goku. So basically Son Goku is the new Sun Wukong he doesn't know it . The New JTTW gang still defeated Azure but Barely.

I wanted angst and also Found family.

Also since Goku is FAR more different to sun wukong and NO I DON'T WANT FIGHTING SHUT UP GOKU SOLOS MY ASS I JUST WANTED FOUND FAMILY OKAY FOUND FAMILY-NO DEBATING-

"Who's Hotter?" Shonen Protagonist

[diamondsheep]

Ram I don't even know Luffy very well but now everytime I see him I think "my friend Luffy" the same feeling that Miku gives me, how does he do that?

Luffy 🤝 Miku 🤝 Goku > being everyone's friends

HIII CONEJOOOOS 🐰💜💜💜✨thank you for the ask !!

YESSS !! I understand that feeling !! i guess it is because they have been around for a long time and they are like everyone's childhood friends ?

Also in my opinion they are like the anime conventions kings and queen ! There is no convention without at least one cosplayer of each of these characters

they also have a really recognizable and friendly design so i think that makes them really special

our beloved friends Luffy Miku and Goku ❤💙🧡
