Nowhere. It's a guess of mine based on who didn't make the top 5, hints at Beerus being #5, and how villains turned protagonists were handled.

So based on Very Melon's assumption, I guess the next spots will be.

5. Beerus

4. King Piccolo

3. Cell

2. Vegeta

1. Freeza

I think Vegeta, Cell, and Piccolo might shuffle spots though. I think King Piccolo might be second now that I think about it though; when you get down to it, he is probably the most effective villain in the whole series given that he actually won, straight up. No ambiguity and his plan was perfect to boot.

Freeza will probably only take #1 by proxy of being Goku's most personal enemy and his involvement in the series lore.

I might see King Piccolo rating higher. The sheer swat of bodies he leaves behind basically goes unmatched till Nappa. He also marks a tone shift and a level stakes that basically goes unmatched in Dragonball prior.

Vegeta being so high irks me. So does Piccolo, actually. Beerus is cool but also strikes me as a bit weird.

I want Vegeta to be #4. As for Cell and King Piccolo, I honestly can't tell which will get which spot. It's funny that no one thinks Freeza won't be number one.

Again, they've called him "Dragonball's greatest Villain" in previous D Bcember. It'd be odd for them to change their mind. I mean, it's not impossible.

I mean, he is Dragon Ball's most power inflate-y villain, I will give him that.

I mean, Vegeta and King Piccolo I can see are the only ones who can contest Freeza considering Cell, bless his heart, is just a chimera of previous character's personality traits and Beerus is still a relatively late addition to the series to leave an impact like the first three.

So yea, top three I can easily see being between, Freeza, Vegeta, and King Piccolo.

I actually have no problem with the top 10 I'd probably just reorder it personally. For me, I'd go:

1) Freeza, 2) King Piccolo, 3) Cell, 4) Vegeta, 5) Majin Buu, 6) Ginyu Force, 7) Androids 17 & 18, 8) Beerus, 9), Red Ribbon Army, 10) Emperor Pilaf & Pals

Didn't you just switch out Piccolo Jr. for Pilaf?

I suppose I'm okay with Babidi getting lumped in with Buu. So really it's just Dabura and the Crane school that got robbed.

I don't think the Crane school got robbed. Tao got on the list. Tien and Chaotzu never really were villains. They are antagonists. So that leaves Master Shen... Who doesn't actually do much. He's villainous but his interactions all consist of pitting his students and brother against the main cast in a tournament and pushing them to cheat and kill. Which is sort of lame.

Something I just noticed. Abridged Vegeta actually acknowledges that Goku is a "badass Saiyan," albeit with minimal emphasis, but he still said, "you don't need Kakarot or anyone else, [the Z-Fighters] have enough badass Saiyan as it is."

Considering Goku later tells Vegeta to go easy on Piccolo this is going to make their eventual thumbs-up/Bash Bros relationship amusing.

Think Freeza's placement will be affected by the Resurrection 'F' movie?

That could be interpreted slightly differently, but I'll give that as a valid read.

I wouldn't except so. It's not bad enough to be a reason to demote him, and it can't improve things for a guy who was already in the top spot.

It's not like he did much in that movie to begin with anyway and he had already longed established himself.

Granted, the movie was basically character shilling him just as much as Broly's movies shill him.

Not really because for all of the hype he got, he was treated even more pathetically than his first defeat. The only reason he even comes close to winning was because nobody took him seriously until it was too late. Once the heroes stopped screwing around, Goku just kills him with blast and that's that.

Though given how TFS writes Vegeta, I wouldn't be surprised if they edit that moment to Vegeta flipping Goku the bird. tongue
