Well, it\\\'d be easy to just say \\\"number 2\\\" for all of them, since I wrote it, but I\\\'ll be fair. Besides, I do admit some of them probably aren\\\'t the best. We don\\\'t need to get this page locked, so if people \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' have a problem with it then we can tone it down.

(Incidentally, a lot of the \\\"bashing\\\" I put up before was more arguments I\\\'d heard from other people, particularly in regards to Krillin and Yamcha - I\\\'m a fan of both characters myself, so I can support being nice in their sections.)

Anyway, as for my opinions...

Goku: There was a discussion in AskTheTropers recently where it was decided that referencing the AbridgedSeries on the works page like that shouldn\\\'t happen, which is the entire reason I edited that bit out in the first place. So yeah, number 2.

Vegeta: Here\\\'s my main protest. Basically, people are allowed to say that they hate the character, but are forbidden from explaining why because that would be \\\"character bashing\\\". As a result everyone who dislikes the character comes across as a hateful psychopath, especially with that \\\"should never have been forgiven\\\" line which makes it sound like the worst they can say is he\\\'s selfish yet they still want him dead.

So, it clearly can\\\'t be number 2, and I hate number 1, so how about I try to TakeAThirdOption?

* Vegeta after his HeelFaceTurn, thanks primarily to AlternateCharacterInterpretation. He\\\'s either a LoveableRogue who\\\'s NotEvilJustMisunderstood, or he\\\'s a {{Jerkass}} who decided to play nicer but never really stopped being selfish and hostile.

Krillin and Yamcha: I agree with Larkmarn here. Even though a similar argument is made against both of them I don\\\'t see any reason why they need to share a bullet point. We could possibly be nicer in his entry, though.

Chi-Chi: I really hate number 1. It\\\'s confusingly worded and doesn\\\'t make it clear what the two sides are. (So, both sides say she\\\'s overprotective?) It could be reworded some more, though.

* Chi-Chi. She\\\'s either a good mother who, at worst, is overprotective and with a bit of a HairTriggerTemper, or she\\\'s a hostile and controlling EducationMama.

Buu and the Saiyans: Agreed with Larkmarn, and I like his rewrite for the Saiyans.
