This poll is now closed.
128 characters, 128 rounds, including a round to find third place. This time we're going to dip into manga/anime, with one of the most iconic series in the medium -- Dragon Ball!

This tournament covers every part of the series -- original series, Z, GT, Super, the movies, there are even a couple of characters from the games in here. I made the bracket as well as I was able to, since there wasn't a large enough popularity poll to base the seeding off of this time, so hopefully I matched everyone up well enough that nobody gets robbed too early in this.

Round eighty-one! Vegeta vs. Dabura!
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/0a50b76c.jpg

Rules are simple: Vote for the character that you like the best, and want to advance in the tournament. Rounds last 24 hours, give or take, because when you're an adult sometimes things happen and you can't always be around to post an anime contest on a dying blue websight. In the event of a tie, it will be determined by a never-controversial Lightning Round of votes. The winner of each round advances to their next match, and the loser goes to HFIL.

Note that if you accidentally vote for the wrong character, too bad, I won't manually adjust. Can't be bothered to.

The Almighty Prince Vegeta vs. the guy who jobbed to Majin Buu by being turned into a cookie and eaten

Too bad Vegeta's kind of a jobber, too.

So youd pick a terrible character over a bunch of other terrible characters? OK.

Vegeta is my favorite in the series. He definitely has some low points, but Vegeta in the Freeza Saga is my absolute favorite character at any point in the entire story.

I have no problems at all with Dabura. Hes just going against a top tier character.

Dabura got Worf treatment. He's supposed to be as strong as Perfect Cell but killed easily to show how strong Buu is.

What everyone responding to me is seemingly missing is I mean what is there to like there? Hes hyped up for a while, everyone has to watch Gohan suck against him because he didnt train for 7 years (not because Dabura is actually strong compared to what Gohan was when he beat Cell, or Vegeta and Goku at that time), then hes jobbed out to Buu in a couple seconds, and inside hes basically made a joke as a happy ghost genie thing.

Theres just nothing to like about him, or dislike really. At all. Hes just there. It doesnt matter that there are characters like Bio-Broly who are shitty enough to actively dislike and hate. Hes still firmly in the bottom tier of characters by any metric besides power scaling.

Well, if youre asking What is there to like about Dabura?, then thats different from your original post of Who would pick Dabura over basically anyone?

Dabura does have some moments. Him bum rushing Kibito is a great kill. And he has a sense of being a real threat as he fights Gohan to a standstill, until Vegeta drops the news that he (and Goku) feel that Dabura and Gohan are weak. At that point, yes, he just becomes fodder to show how strong Buu is.

But yeah, your first comment was different. There are plenty of characters that Id put lower than Dabura. Like Tarble. Who gives a fuck about Tarble?

Heck, Dabura beating Bio Broly shouldn't be surprising. If he was against the real Broly, he'd definitely lose.

I always felt Dabura was pretty badass. I'd even go as far to say that his fight against Gohan is one of my favorites (also because it's one of the few DBZ fights where fighters are somewhat evenly matched). But yeah, wish he had more of a chance to shine instead of getting killed off way too easily by Buu.

My initial post was what it was because I honestly couldnt think of anyone Id pick him over. Everyone worse than him is very forgettable. I hadnt thought about Tarble in like 20 years, I deliberately try to black out Bio Broly. I did couch the statement in basically as well, which leaves room for some.
