GTFO

You don't see greatness.

You can never see greatness.

R.I.P. your ability to see greatness.







:lol

:lol

 

[birdman]

This statement made think what would a IGN top 20 gundams of all time be like.

Seed would be on the list somewhere, and that would make me weep.

Vegeta is actually a much better character than Goku. The guy goes trough struggles, we understand how he came to be, his path is well defined and theres plot twists along the way.

Honestly, if youre defending Goku because he can beat anybody up, youre confusing "cool" character with "good" character.

 

[Hitokage]

What's funny is that Goku spends much of the original series losing, and hell, he couldn't even beat Vegeta by himself.

Goku is Shonen Jump, dude. Dragon Ball pretty much defined the genre at the time. Goku as a character was enormously influential, and popular as well. It's not about his power level.

if you're talking about late DBZ then yeah he could beat vegeta.

 

[Hitokage]

No, I mean the period of time when he was a little kid to his first fight with Vegeta.

 

[rpmurphy]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :lol

What a complete joke of a list. There are far more iconic characters than most of the clowns they managed to scrape up. Doraemon, Anpanman, Sally, Shin-chan, Maruko-chan, Sazae-san, Sakuragi, Kaibara, etc. etc.

Oh, and notice pretty much all of the characters on the list are from the same goddamn genre or like-genres. :lol

 

[Stat Flow]

Talkin DBZ, Goku could destroy Vegeta from Namek - to the end.

 

[bigosc2k]

Naruto should be no where near the top 10 hell I don't even think he should be top 20 at all.

 

[DanteFox]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :lol

Out of all those characters you listed I've only ever heard of Shin-chan. :/

 

[Lyte Edge]

No Ranma 1/2? No Urusei Yatsura? No Fist Of The North Star? No Riding Bean? No Macross? No Maison Ikkoku? No Project A-Ko? No Akira? No Dirty Pair? You know, the characters from series from back when anime and manga were GOOD?

And that's just some 80's series. You know this kind of list will always be shit, but how they ignored so much stuff is just insane.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :lol

Let's be fair. Nobody knows who most of those characters even are in the States.

 

[rpmurphy]

None of the ones I listed except Shin-chan have had US releases. Nevertheless, they are all some of the most iconic characters in their respective genres, and a few of them of all time.

 

[jts]

Yeap, I don't know much about anime but there's no way there are 20 characters better than Doraemon.

Goku being #1 makes up for it though <3

I still watch both of these animes on a nearly daily basis

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

I dunno. People have made a pretty big deal over the years about his power level.

 

[flintstryker]

Fuck this shitty list

Luffy > Goku.

 

[Griffith]

No Guts or Griffith? Really?

 

[vas_a_morir]

I guess Manga doesn't count? Because Yuno from Mirai Nikki is the best character to come out of Japan in a decade.

 

[Timedog]

What the fuck? No Kenshiro? No Griffith/Guts?

 

[Linkhero1]

Where the fuck is Seto Kaiba

Spoiler

I know it's fanmade, but hilarious

But seriously the list is pretty horrid.

 

[flintstryker]

No Guts or Griffith? Really?

Guts Rocks! Fuck Griffiths tho, needs more Alucard AKA the most badass vampire ever from anything.

 

[Grecco]

Still the best to me.

 

[akachan ningen]

Where is bon clay?

 

[Kusagari]

Goku isn't even the strongest character in the series at the end, that's Gohan(unless you count GT lulz)

 

[Oblivion]

Kenshin! :bow :bow

Spike's a good choice too that deserves to be high up.

Don't give a shit about the rest, and Naruto is WAAAAAAAAAY too high.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Holy fucking shit they put Ichigo on there? Ahead of Luffy, no less?

I didn't want to come into this thread knowing that it'd probably give me a headache but holy shit.

IGN sucks at making lists confirmed.

 

[inner-G]

#1 Luffy

 

[Cheerilee]

 

[Firestorm]

Cool so now we're posting shitty IGN Top #s in OT too.

 

[Tater Tot]

The Beyblades themselves should be #1

 

[B-Rad Lascelle]

Kenshin in the Top 5 is good.
No Sousuke Sagara is bad.
Rest of the list is expectedly awful.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Ctrl-F > Kamina > not found > fuck this list

 

[ShadyMilkman]

Anime is fucking terrible so....?

 

[ReiGun]

Where the fuck is Agumon? Fuck that scrubbymon Pikachu. Digital Monsters fo life!

 

[inner-G]

Anime is fucking terrible so....?

The Beyblades themselves should be #1

I can see where you're coming from. I mean, they ARE made of metal and are more dangerous than ever.

 

[Blablurn]

Light > L

 

[Dresden]

Anime is fucking terrible so....?

With a Glenn Beck avatar, no less. It's like shit telling turd that they stink.

 

[hiro4]

hmm.. I expected much worse to be honest :lol
Still I miss a lot of characters and would drop a lot of other characters, looking at you Naruto and Ichigo.

 

[Shouta]

That list is silly and this thread is funny.

 

[Kagari]

Ugh. What a terrible list.

.

 

[PowersOfTen]

The fact that Krauser from DMC isn't on there disgusts me.

You and me both brotha.

 

[Kaako]

Where's the Ippo love, IGN?!

 

[xs_mini_neo]

I miss when anime used to be good. *tear*

 

[Pein]

not only does ign know dick about games, they know dick about anime

 

[itsinmyveins]

Where is Cobra, the space pirate? Fuck this list, maaan.

 

[Tamanon]

Oh, hey, where the fuck is Lina Fucking Inverse?:lol

 

[CiSTM]

Eh, well to be honest this is one of those lists that can't satisfy everyone... No characters from Galaxy Express 999 This is an outrage !

 

[BeEatNU]

Death Note AHEAD of One Piece are you fucking serious!!!

FUCK YOU IGN! never again.

 

[ZoddGutts]

lol at Naruto and Ichigo ahead of Luffy. Yeah Luffy is somewhat of a copy of Goku but Luffy has done so many epic stuff that he deserves better recognition than Naruto and Ichigo. Also Ichigo is a poor man version of Yusuke from YuYu Hakusho.

 

[Belfast]

RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that the only thing that they can come up with for Luffy is that he punches hard, instead of highlighting the other ways in which his simplicity is so appealing.

And Ichigo, really? REALLY? I'm not sure I've ever found anything particularly redeeming about him.
