7 Dragon Ball Villains that could've carried their own arc

Honorable mention, Sorbet. So I enjoy Frieza as much as the next guy, but his wacky and colorful Frieza Force is what firmly places the Namek Saga over the Cell Saga in my mind. Like they're all such memorable characters that I even like Cui ffs. However, let's be real, none of these guys could carry their own arc. At their heart, they're all followers (all except good ol' Geets). Maybe before their recruitment they had more ambition and determination, but when faced with Frieza's insurmountable power, they ultimately all bent over and bowed.

Sorbet is an odd example, because he is definitely a follower as well, although when the power vacuum that is Frieza and King Cold's death opened up, he didn't turn away. He instead took charge and kept the Planet Trade Organization afloat for DECADES, despite being a koala-man with a power level that I'm sure rivals Appule at best.

The only reason he's not on the list proper is because when we finally get to see Sorbet in action, he's trying to pass the torch back to Frieza. He still gets major points tho for leading as long as he did

Spoilers: no one else from Super is on this list, even though a filler character is

Monster Beast Giran

Look, I'm not saying Giran could've carried his own saga, but if Dragon Ball had been written by a more traditional shonen mangaka instead of a gag artist, he probably would've been the Big Bad of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. And yes, I'm using his added characterization from filler scenes in the anime to make my point.

A milk drinking brute with a voracious appetite and a deep-seated hatred of heroes, this absolute unit was unfortunately no match for Goku in canon, but his hulking appearance and quirky personality (at least in the anime) always stuck out to me. In my generic re-write of this arc, a majorly buffed Giran faces Jackie Chun instead, and defeats him. He then faces and almost defeats Goku in the final, but Goku transforms into a real monster beast for the win, and that's that

Yea I won't be trying to retell the story for the rest of these entries

Raditz

It says a lot about the quality of Toriyama's villains that Goku's evil brother from space is a mere speed bump on the road to the real top dog of the Saiyan Saga. This dude is so fucking sexy and such a piece of shit that I can't help but imagine what he could've gotten himself into if only he had more screentime

Staff Officer Black

I know Toriyama loves subverting expectations and that's one of the things I so greatly enjoy about Dragon Ball, but c'mon. Commander Black of the Black Ribbon Army would've been... so so sooo cool. The dude's a true believer, actually loyal to his men, and idk what Red did to become the leader over him, but he seems to have been the real brains behind the operation. Dragon Ball Online brought back Commander Red as a cyborg and all I'm asking is why not Staff Officer Black instead?

Turles

Aight so Tree of Might isn't the greatest movie, I'd even say it's mid at best, but it also has amazing ideas. The Tree of Might? Neat, inspired, scary, and also drawn from Journey to the West lore. Turles? Sexy tan Goku, what's not to like? His Crusher Corps? Don't get me started on his Crusher Corps, because they all have their own story, which was included in extraneous material, but not the movie itself.

Amond, the big guy? Yea he was an intergalactic criminal that was arrested by the Galactic Patrol until he was freed by Turles. Daiz was the Prince of the Pukimpa Dynasty that led his planet's army against Turles, but was defeated, then recruited for fighting so bravely. Cacao was a cyborg built to fight an interstellar war before he fucked off to become a bounty hunter and eventually join the Crusher Corps. Rasin and Lakasei were fossils resurrected by Turles using extract from the Tree of Might.

Fuck, Turles himself is a low-class Saiyan warrior that somehow found or stole the holy Seeds of Might, which were reserved for Kai. When I was a kid my older brother told me (read, lied to me lol) that Saiyans were all test tube babies grown from different strains and that's the difference between low medium and elite saiyans and why he and Goku are almost identical. Like, that's not true, but there's a lotta fleshing out you could do with Turles to make him and his potential saga more compelling

Demon King Dabura

Ruler of a shadowy demon realm for thousands of years with a power level that equals Perfect Cell, Demon King Dabura is also... the bitch of a tiny bitchy wizard? Yup, that's Toriyama all right.

So lemme start by saying that this guy gets so little credit he's not even in Fighterz, despite having a cool sword and a huge canon moveset. He also looks... well tbh, he doesn't look as awesome to adult me as he did to kid me, but he's still neat looking. I like his horns and his funky glamrock outfit. He also probably had his own Dabura Force filled with edgy evul henchmen (including Shula from that filler episode, who I'm pretty sure inspired Dabura's creation) that could've easily filled an entire saga.

It says a lot that Raditz isn't the lead of his saga, but imo it says way more that Toriyama created an entire evil universe opposite the regular universe ruled over by this baritone Satan and he's just a footnote. It also says a lot about Dragon Ball Heroes that instead of trying it's own thing, it digs up Toriyama's fossilized spittle and creates Mira, Towa, and Kabuto from Naruto.

Mercenary Tao Pai Pai

Ok so I'm biased, because this flamboyant bastard is easily one of my favorite villains, and that's including everything, not just Dragon Ball or comics. He oozes so much style that I'm not even sure how you could stretch him out into an entire arc, but it doesn't matter, because he could make it work. The dude can make watching someone else shop for clothes compelling ffs, so as far as I'm concerned, Tao could've been the villain for the whole of Dragon Ball and it'd be just or almost as good as what we actually got

His shirt says Kill You! he's seriously the best don't @ me

Dr. Gero

Mustache

Yes, I know he was supposed to be the Big Bad, but Toriyama's former editor didn't think an old man in baggy pants and a fat clown could carry their own arc, but they're wrong damn it! Just look at him

Chapter 7 - Undercover In The Red Ribbon Army!

Our heroes are underway to be enrolled into the Red Ribbon Army. They look at their competition, Men and women of bulking sizes and appearance, as they look down upon our adventurers. They take a written aptitude test, followed by running for endurance, shooting, climbing, among others. They both receive their respective branch locations. Maze gets into the medical department. While Cliver got into…custodian duty. “They must’ve not been impressed by your swordsmanship.” Maze says apologetically while Cliver looks upset. “But that’s good right? You’ll have more range to check the area.” Maze tells Cliver enthusiastically. “Yeah, I know… but still I expected something higher.” Cliver says disappointed. They begin working in their respective areas. Maze is given a more advanced medical training. While Cliver cleans, wipes, and mops as he creates a mental map. At night, he begins to create a detailed ledger for all the important notes for the heist: Patrol routes, escape exits, notable locations, and possible locations of the Dragon Balls.

Meanwhile, Maze is working on the medical ward until he sees Cliver subtly beckoning him. Maze tells the others that he needs to go to the bathroom and leaves the room. They come to the bathroom to discuss, as Cliver puts a “Under Maintenance'' sign on the restroom’s door. “So, it seems that the best place is that tower on sector 8. All I need is to figure out the password.” Cliver explains. “What if we try “Dr4g0n B4llz”?” Maze asks. “No. I really don’t think so. I’m gonna try to sneak into the boss's office, then we’ll meet tomorrow in sector 8 at noon.” replies Cliver. 

Cliver goes into the office and opens it when he’s confronted by a guard that was patrolling. “Hey! What are you doing?” The guard asks. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m gonna clean up the place. What? You want the boss to get mad when he finds his place all dirty? Let me do my job.” Clivers tells determinately. “I don’t remember cleaning being done at this time.” The guard says confused. “Well if you have such a problem when I clean, report it to my boss. I got work to do.” Cliver says annoyed. “Uh, yeah… ok. Well I won’t waste your time then.”  The guard says confused as he leaves. “People will believe anything if you say anything confidently.” Cliver thinks to himself. He goes in and begins searching for the password. He finds it in a not-so-hidden post-it Note with the numbers 22 555 2 222 55. “Huh, well that’s stupid.” He thinks. Suddenly, He hears the door being opened and quickly hides in a closet nearby. It’s General Black, accompanied by Colonel Silver, Colonel Violet, and Captain Yellow. “As I’ve already told you. Operation Godcatcher has been a success. With two key items already retrieved. As such, Operation Planerbuster will start, I will need you to mobilize all possible units to every city in the world. Our plans that have been 4 years in the making will finally come to fruition.” Black says the others salute their general in agreement with their leader. “I wonder what’s that about.” Cliver thinks to himself.

Meanwhile, Android 11 is preparing to order in a fast food burger joint they found in Central City. “So they just kill the animal for me if I give them these coins? That’s convenient.” She thinks. They pay with Zeni they “found” from a group of bandits. “This is some serious gourmet shit!” she screams as she eats the burger. “Maybe I should eat you and figure out how to make them myself.” she says as she points to the underpaid worker as she prepares her beam. “I didn’t make it, I just heated the frozen patties.” The worker says. “It’s precooked? Precooked…that’s fucking genius! You tell me you don’t have to do shit?! You just throw that shit in fire and it just works?!” Android 11 shouts. “Yeah? And could you please leave? You’re bothering the clients.” The worker tells the Android annoyed. “I need to get myself some of that precooked stuff, can I buy some with the Zenis?” Android asks. The worker sighs. “Yes but not here, go to a supermarket or something.” The worker says in the hopes they leave.  “Uoh! You’re very wise. Thank you!” Android 11 says as she claps her hands together and leaves. “What a freak. What was that thing on?” the worker asks themselves. Android 11 tries to buy instant food from the supermarket but doesn’t have enough to do so. She thinks about killing the whole supermarket, but can’t since Dr. Gero programmed that she can’t kill anyone within the major cities unless approved to avoid attention and repercussions (Authors note: this would’ve also applied in the burger joint). “So I have to figure out a way to make money. Maybe I should go back and give him the dragon balls and ask for some money from Dr. Gero.” she thinks to herself and she flies away.

A day has passed, our heroes are taking their routes, waiting for the opportunity to slip by and go to sector 8. When suddenly, a blaring alarm goes off. “Shit, have we been found?” Cliver thinks, but quickly sees that everyone is looking outside to the sky. He tries to take a look, and sees three people flying in the air. A black Sicilian dragon, a green Sicilian dragon, and a girl with black long hair. Planes and flying cars are attacking them, turrets shooting on sight, but they are no match for this trio! The black dragon throws her dragon breath to the cars, disintegrating them. They can’t do any damage that can be easily shielded. The turtle Sicilian gets inside its shell and begins to rapidly spin towards the turrets, easily destroying them. The Headquarters go into high alert. “This is perfect. This distraction will leave the Dragon Balls wide open for the taking.” Cliver thinks as he runs towards sector 8. 

Kuwin, The black dragon, tells The Turtle Dragon, Beesup, to go search for the Dragon Balls while she and Night go negotiate with the leader of this army. They split up, flying away, destroying anyone that opposes them. Commander black is escorted quickly to the basement shelter. Kuwin and Night arrive at the huge Dragon Radar that the Red Ribbon Army has. “Is this where you track the Dragon Balls?” She asks as she pulls one out with seven stars on it. “Is this how you discovered our location? How interesting.” Don’t worry, I won’t have you killed like the rest of these vermin. You have some use for me after all. Night make sure to note to not destroy this. I mean if possible I would prefer to keep the whole base intact. But I can see that’s probably going to be difficult. Kill anyone that refuses to be our soldiers.” Kuwin says. Night nods as she begins walking around, killing with her bare fists anyone that refuses to surrender. 

Meanwhile, our heroes have successfully opened the door amidst the panic. They go to the upper floor and see four dragon balls on a pedestal. “Four!?” they scream surprised. “My brother, we just hit the Jackpot.” Cliver says to maze. They attempt to grab them. But before they can, another person enters the room. Beesup, the Sicilian dragon turtle!

It seems that another force is interested in the Dragon Balls, but only one of them will be able to collect all 7 and ask for their wish. Who will it be? And can our heroes defeat this powerful enemy?

Cody has the Force, I can prove it.

He dexterously ducks this flying molten metal slab.

He incorporates parkour into his fighting style.

And — despite a helmet with limited visibility — he catches his falling husband Obi-Wan mid-air.

Bonus slowed down Obi-Wan look of awe.

Also, bonus Codywan conceding zero personal space in a hallway wide enough to fit an AAT.

I know Wake is descended from people who lived in NZ or at least chose NZ as the country to honor from Earth, but this woman’s Irish energy is off the charts no its not about the hair I’ll kill you if you think it’s that do you understand what I mean. She is running the Space IRA against the Imperial House of Dominicus (“United” Kingdom) Also Catholicism references. Blood of Eden.

Conclusion: Wake is Irish

erwin is the definition of dilf with no kids like this man is old school as fuck. definitely calls you sweetheart and honey. makes you tea with a side of ibuprofen in the morning because ain’t nothing old about his sex drive baby

look…LOOK! papa erwin? That man is from a lost breed of men we ain’t gone never see in our lifetime 😭 fine, rich and funny. This man SPOILS you so badly, it don’t make sense. Like you said, straight from the old school! I’m talking comes to the doorstep with flowers in hand and kisses it when he greets you. Ain’t no sneaky links or dating apps around him. If he wants to see you, he’s always weary of your time. Once you let him know that schedule is open, oh baby wastes no time preparing to woo you. “I’ve planned a wonderful evening for us. Reservations at that place I heard you talking about at eight and a boat ride around the city? How’s that sound?” And you just wanna cry because where did this man come from?! One thing about Mr. Smith, he stays looking good and smelling even better. Button downs, slacks, gold wristwatches and Tom Ford cologne. Never catch him looking shabby even on an off day. When you go out, it’s the finest that his money can buy. Top shelf wine, fancy entrees..the works. And there ain’t no $200 date debates. He gone run it all up for his lady. Bill splitting? Please. If you pull that purse out in front of him, he’d stare at you like you’d lost your mind! “(Y/N) sweetheart, your money is no good around me. What type of man would make a woman pay for a date?” The evening is literally perfect. The two of you explore the town from his yacht cause yes, big daddy got it like that! you already know. Holding you close and constantly pouring on compliments. It’s not until he gets you alone does that sweet, seemingly shy demeanor fades and that freak he’s been waiting to unleash on the right woman comes out.

you’ll be kissing all over one another, touching and being all handsy. Sitting on the couch in his spacious living room, where he gently disrobes you..layer by layer peeling off that sexy dress and even sexier lingerie underneath, you wore just for him. He’s complimenting you on your skin, telling you how soft and beautiful you are…ugh he’s the sweetest. But that’s nothing when he starts to lick and kiss on your neck, work his hands up your body and massaging between your thighs. You’d expect him to be into more vanilla sex…that even though he was absolutely perfect in every aspect, he had to at least lack in that department. Not the case at all! This man’s head game is literally lethal; putting it in his face and feasting until you start coming all over his mouth. “Don’t run from me, darling. I’m not done yet..” giving you a stern look with his fingers locked into your own. He folds you in about five different positions; from missionary to where he constantly dotes on how beautiful you are. Wiping away your tears when it becomes too much. “Just breathe with me, okay?” To giving some very heavy backshots and even hitting from the side with a hand to your throat. Mr. Smith is no amateur, baby! By the time you finished, your lashes are stuck to your forehead, you’re breathing heavy and have his sheets fucked up. He makes sure you’re okay, doing after care like no other man ever has. Wanting to ensure that you’re fine before you go to sleep. And even wakes you up with breakfast in the morning! Yeah, he’s husband material for sure.
