Top 5 divisive moments that rocked the Dragon Ball fanbase over its 30 years of existence and evolution are sure to surprise you
Good always triumphs over evil in Dragon Ball, but that doesn't mean traumatic tragedies don't haunt Goku and his friends.
5. The self-destructive fall of Majin Vegeta
Vegeta undergoes one of the most impressive character developments in Dragon Ball, but when faced with Babidi's temptation, he succumbs and becomes Majin Vegeta. Majin Vegeta wreaks havoc on Goku and innocent bystanders alike.
It's a brutal turning point for Vegeta's character. He tries to atone by self-destructing and dragging Buu along with him. Audiences were shocked to witness Vegeta employ such a tactic, but sadly, his gamble fails, and he dies in vain.
4. Zamasu steals Goku's body and kills his entire family
One of the most thrilling antagonists for the audience is Goku Black. Goku is just a part of Future Zamasu's multi-layered plan to eradicate humanity. Zamasu is so obsessed with apocalypse that he requires the intervention of Omni-King Zeno. One of the darkest moments in the story is Future Zamasu successfully taking over Goku's body and using it to murder Goku's entire family. Goku's wife and children don't even have a chance to understand what's happening.
3. Golden Frieza destroys the Earth
Frieza returns to reaffirm his role as the ultimate villain in Dragon Ball Super by showcasing a new form. Golden Frieza isn't a match for the power of Super Saiyan Blue that Goku and Vegeta have just attained, but Frieza can still manipulate the situation to secure a last-minute victory. He channels his energy into the Earth, causing it to explode. Luckily, Whis can turn back time to save the Earth.
2. Hercule's dog, Bee, gets killed
Audiences are accustomed to seeing heroes face grim fates when they find themselves in perilous situations, bearing the burden of protecting the universe. But perhaps they still find it hard to swallow when an innocent character meets their demise, especially when it's a dog. In the Dragon Ball Z: Buu Saga, during a prolonged period of chaos, criminals took advantage of the unrest to cause havoc. Smitty and Van Zant run into Hercule and Buu on the street, ultimately finding Hercule's beloved dog, Bee. The dog is killed, a heart-wrenching event that leaves Buu severely wounded, leading to the emergence of Evil Buu.
1. Buu's genocide against humanity
The formidable villains in Dragon Ball often devise grand schemes, but they seldom come to fruition. Buu underwent a terrifying transformation, becoming so malevolent and devoid of any empathy for humanity. The Human Extinction Attack is a devastating technique aimed at wiping out humanity, and it's the cruelest method ever seen in Dragon Ball.
