At that place is arguably no more than iconic anime in history than Dragon Brawl Z.Well-nigh of its fans grew up on the show and are still die-difficult fans into their twenties and thirties. We lived and breathed these characters through our high schoolhouse years. Even nowadays many of us will face a difficult situation and whisper quietly to ourselves: what would Goku do? But perhaps it's not Goku who is best to plough to, depending on what kind of person you are. Perhaps you would be meliorate off asking yourself what Vegeta or Piccolo or Android 18 would practise. And so, permit'south examine what makes these characters every bit love to usa as they are through the scientific discipline of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®.

x. Goku: The Entertainer (ESFP-A)

The protagonist of our bear witness is, ironically, not The Protagonist, but instead a man who entertains. This is what makes him a man so dear to our hearts. As the perfect anime "strong man," he's a homo who doesn't bleed hyper-masculinity. Instead, he'due south a practiced father, an inspiration, and a role model for his children (and the children who grew up with his screams and shouts echoing from their TVs every evening after schoolhouse).

Goku, at his heart, is a happy, jolly, smile, Santa Claus kind of guy. He's all jokes and no angst. His personality may well exist the underground ingredient that makes this show stand up tall in a bounding main of angry shonen teenage ache.

nine. Vegeta: The Commander (ENTJ, -A/-T)

Fittingly, Vegeta has the personality most suited for a homo who could lead an ground forces (or, perhaps, a planet that shares his name). The fan-favorite villain-turned-hero might accept a scrap of an inferiority circuitous equally he always walks in Kakarot's shadow. Fourth dimension and time again, even so, Vegeta takes charge and bites the bullet; he'due south far more dependable than our protagonist.

Vegeta is the kind of commander who, when no door presents itself, he makes ane — using zero more than a solid brick wall and one of his closed fists. He may not exist everyone's ideal commander, but he has almost always gotten the job done.

8. Gohan: The Defender (ISFJ-T)

Following in your father'south footsteps is a daunting chore for a normal boy inheriting, say, the family business organisation. Imagine if your family unit business concern was saving the earth–sometimes the galaxy–from villains of always-escalating power levels; you'd likely not wish that on many sons. But Gohan is a defender; a boy with a personality tailor-made for the job. He's far more than that of his dear ol' dad, which is why, at the climax of the Cell Saga, Gohan proves his defender status at the eleventh hour with pomp and splendor. Defender of all, big or small, Gohan is more Superman than his Superman dad (who could probably beat Superman).

7. Krillin: The Delegate (ESFJ)

As Consul to not just Goku, but all of the Z Fighters (except, perhaps, Vegeta), Krillin is very much a vocalization of reason first and a warrior second. Although this doesn't hateful he can't concur his ain in a fight, especially in the anime's earlier sagas.

Ever since the original Dragon Ball, Krillin has existed as Goku's shoulder affections. On close inspection, Krillin and Gohan share a lot of personalities. This is darn good writing; as Goku gets older and stronger, the responsibleness of keeping him in check switches from his best friend to his son. That's clever

6. Piccolo: The Architect (INTJ, -A/-T)

The original bad-guy-turned-good; the human being who stole away Gohan to railroad train him to be a fighter like his dad is very much the builder of the ensemble. He'southward the cold calculator to Vegeta's hot-headed assailment; the realistic strategist to Goku'south impulsive recklessness. Piccolo's power begins to fall behind as the Saiyans get super, but his mind is never less than essential when the odds are stacked even farther against them. While Goku was content with letting his son enjoy his childhood (wild ape transformation and all), Piccolo took accuse and became the architect of his future.

five. Yamcha: The Entrepreneur (ESTP, -A/-T)

Simply and so many characters have the privilege of becoming a meme; A meme which has helped go along his legacy live, no less. Originally a bandit, briefly a villain, and and then a lifelong friend to Goku, Yamcha is one with perhaps the most like personality to Goku. In the original Dragon Ball, the witty banter of young Goku and Yamcha gave the manga a brisk pace. Quick-witted and tough to pin down, Yamcha is a simple, lovelorn fighter with a heart of gold. Plus, his all-time friend is a floating cat, bringing his personality's power level up far across 9,000 (pitiful, not sorry).

iv. Android 18: The Executive (ESTJ, -A/-T)

Equally you brand your way down this list, you might exist surprised by how many villains become friends to Goku. Perhaps they're simply won over past his entertainer personality? Though this is less true for xviii, who is (for reasons nobody can comprehend) far more taken with Krillin than Goku. Her cold, sarcastic personality is exactly what Krillin doesn't need, given his consul personality, but the heart wants what the heart wants. The night, dry humor of Android eighteen proves irresistible to the sweetest of the Z Fighters. Cold equally her circuits, 18's lack of emotion is a true nugget to this motley crew of loud, hot-headed manly men.

3. Trunks: The Protagonist (ENFJ, -A/-T)

Yeah, you lot're correct, Trunks' introduction was the best in shonen anime history. Nobody will disagree with you, there. And from this epic introduction to his character, we have a future Trunks who is stoic, stiff, pragmatic, and powerful. We as well have a young Trunks who is aggressive, vivid, savvy, funny, and already so strong. This long list of adjectives perfectly encapsulates our platonic protagonist. As a fighter, friend, and foe, Trunks is all simply perfect. Unfortunately, an bodily protagonist with this much angst and manner only doesn't take the amuse of our Goku. Simply a fan-favorite he certainly is.

2. Goten: The Logistician (ISTJ, -A/-T)

Nosotros know two Gotens: the son of Goku and brother of Gohan. This ane is a sweet boy, wide-eyed, and curious. So there's the friend of Trunks, the other half of the fusion Gotenks. This Goten is the yang to Trunks' yin. For every crazy scheme Trunks hatches; for every dangerous mission Trunks drags Goten along on, Goten is always the pragmatist. It's like shooting fish in a barrel to see, in fact, the affect that Goten has on Trunks, every bit Trunks from the future shares and so much of that pragmatism with Goten. Once once more, this is some gosh darn good writing correct here.

1. Videl: The Logician (INTP, -A/-T)

Videl is the all-purpose voice of reason. When her partner, Gohan, needs a potent jolt of conviction, Videl is there to provide. When her male parent, Hercule, is beingness reckless and careless, Videl is there to keep him condom and offer some words of care. Arguably the smartest member of the Dragon Brawl family unit, Videl has a kind of wonderful emotional logic. She is a logician, to be sure, but one so emotionally invested in everyone around her; from her father who, despite his ridiculous arrogance, is all the same the world'south strongest human being, to her swain and his eccentric family unit who are, each of them, mad as a hatter.
