Not including reversed time, I think Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo have all died the most as of Super. Goku died against Raditz, Cell, and Hit. Piccolo died against Nappa, Buu, and Freeza. Krillin has died against Tambourine, Freeza, and Buu.

Death rankings:

  • Triple deaths:
    • Krillin (killed by Tambourine, killed by Frieza, eaten by Super Buu)
    • Chiaotzu (killed by King Piccolo, self-destruction against Nappa, killed by either Super Buu's human extinction attack or Kid Buu destroying the planet)
    • Android 17 (killed by Cell's self-destruction, killed by either Super Buu's human extinction attack or Kid Buu destroying the planet, self-destruction against Jiren)
    • Piccolo (killed by Nappa, killed by Kid Buu destroying the planet, killed by Frieza)
  • Two deaths
    • Goku (killed by Piccolo alongside Raditz, killed by Cell's self-destruction)
    • Vegeta (killed by Frieza, self-destruction against Majin Buu)
    • Roshi (killed by failed Evil Containment Wave against King Piccolo, eaten by Super Buu)
    • Tien (killed by Nappa, killed by Super Buu's legs)
    • Yamcha (killed by a Saibaman, eaten by Super Buu)
    • Grand Elder Guru (death by broken heart, death by natural causes)
    • Frieza (killed by Trunks, killed by Goku)
    • Bora (killed by Mercenary Tao, killed by either Super Buu's human extinction attack or Kid Buu destroying the planet)
    • Every nameless nobody who was killed by King Piccolo, Cell, or Majin Vegeta, revived, then killed again by Majin Buu.

I think that's everybody who has died more than once, not counting alternate timeline selves as the same person and not counting Goku's quick death due to Hit or Roshi seemingly dying after defeating Ganos.

[down]His heart stopped, but it was a simple matter of resusication (albeit ki-powered). I'm only counting deaths that explicitly had to be undone via the Dragon Balls or other supernatural means.

Super introduced a bunch of new characters who have never died and are thus ineligible to be Black Lanterns. As far as we know, all the the Pride Troopers, not to mention all the angels several gods of destruction and their Supreme Kai counterparts and the two Zenos.

You know, I just realized that Super is likely to end with 17 and Freeza both getting wished back to life, but not King Kai.

Shit that gives me an arc idea: U7 becomes Black Lanterns due to a universe-wide Black Lantern invasion leading to a multiverse wide zombie apocalypse leaving the rest of the universes to fight back.

Decide the MC's of this arc. tongue

Make the Kamikaze Fireballs into Star Sapphires. Give Jiren an Orange ring. Kale gets approached for a Red Ring, but she and Caulifla take Green ones instead.

Crap Vegeta is totally a Star Sapphire now.

I think Hit would make a good Green, Toppo either Blue or Indigo, & I'm not sure what any of the Wolf Bros can get.

As far as I can recall, none of either the main or secondary characters - at least, the ones that aren't deities - have not died. Everyone who didn't die during the Buu saga died at some point beforehand.

Luckily, if they're currently alive they can't become Black Lanterns.

I wasn't counting the deities. But I legitimately forgot about Mr. Satan.

If you're currently alive but have died before Nekron can still get you, actually.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] Hey that could work.

Hmmmh recalling how a Black Lantern's strategy is to play on one's emotional weakness it be pretty fucked up if Grandpa Gohan became one. Imagine what that would do to Goku.

[up] Yeah Nekron has a link to you if you have died before.

How Super Saiyan (and by extension, Dragon Ball as a whole) works Because Science.

Basically, electricity can do some weird shit.

The amount of people talking about the flaws reminds me of Star Wars, sometimes. Not a bad thing, mind you. My salt from Jiren's lackluster backstory has decreased, but now Xenoverse 2 or 3 will have to adapt it. I doubt they can improve on it, since they did managed to improve the scenarios from U6 (Piccolo fighting Cabba is a plus) and Future Trunks (Zamasu getting axed by his own attack)

If someone compares Kale's voice acting to Asta's from Black Clover, he will have to fight me with chess: i'm too poor for Fighter Z.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
