Dragon Ball has seen a roller coaster ride ever since the show started airing. The series has never shied away from killing off important characters when necessary. Neither has the show ever done anything merely for fan service. This is the beauty of Dragon Ball. The show has always been true to its core and went on with whatever the script asked for. Hence, today, we have handpicked some of the most shocking deaths in Dragon Ball history.

They have been numerous times that important characters have said goodbye in the show. Even our powerful protagonist had to sign off a couple of times. There have been many such deaths in Dragon Ball that we will always remember. Check out the list here:

13. Bardock

Bardock was never really a prominent character in the Dragon Ball series. It was not until the DBS series came out that we learned the real events that took place during Planet Vegeta’s destruction. Bardock was a resident of the Saiyan planet when he found out about Frieza’s evil plans to destroy his home. In what we can call one of the most epic battles of Dragon Ball, Bardock puts his life to save his planet against Frieza. However, he fails miserably and dies with the blow that took even the planet Vegeta.

12. Android 16 – Cell Games Saga

Dragon Ball Z has always been full of sacrifices. It becomes especially heartbreaking when a gray character decides to take his own life for the sake of a child. Nothing was more emotional than watching Android 16 giving up his life in the Cell Games Saga. During the last few minutes of his breath, he inspired Gohan to become like his father and break off all the limits of his power. The death of Android 16 inspired Gohan to take down Cell ultimately. 

10. Nappa

This is easily one of the most shocking deaths in Dragon Ball sheerly because it contains one of the biggest betrayals of the show. We are aware that Vegeta cannot be trusted. But we didn’t know that even his friends cannot trust this man. Nappa was his most loyal companion and his closest acquaintance. During the first battle on Earth, Nappa was about to attack Gohan just when Goku arrives. Angered by this, Vegeta charges an attack on his own partner, causing him to lose his life.

9. Chi-Chi and Goten

We have seen time and again how much Goku loves his family and, most of all, Chi-Chi. It was during the Black Goku arc that Zamasu uses the Dragon Balls to switch into Goku’s body. This form was called Black Goku. Soon after entering Goku’s safehouse, he murders Chi-Chi with the use of his God Split Cut and kills Goten too. All of the family dies in a single arc. This one was easily the most heartbreaking arc in the entire Dragon Ball series.

8. Piccolo – Saiyan Saga

Piccolo was always portrayed as a character who cared for none but himself. But when a character as selfish as him decides to sacrifice in the face of adversity, there is nothing more heartbreaking. It was during the Saiyan Saga that Piccolo gave up his life saving a baby Gohan. No one expected that Piccolo would ever even think of giving up his life for somebody. This sacrifice is always mentioned when one talks about heart-touching moments. Besides, this is also one of the reasons that fans like to call Piccolo as Gohan’s real father.

7. Future Gohan

It’s the time in the future when all the major Saiyans have taken their places in heaven with Gohan and Trunks alone on Earth. The two become very close after losing all their loved ones. But when Trunks has to see his only friend die at the hands of the Androids, there is nothing more saddening than this. The death of the last member of Goku’s family is nothing but hard to watch. With the end of this Saiyan, we have to say goodbye to the family of champions.

6. Krillin

Another shocking death that came in Dragon Ball Z was of Krillin. Well, he has been a good friend of Goku ever since the beginning of the show. Even though he is a human, he has been with Goku in all his battles. But this one proved to be dangerous for him. This time, they were facing Frieza. Krillin’s brutal murder was as much a shock to Goku as it was to the fans. In a rage, Goku turned into a Super Saiyan and took down Frieza. Frieza is long gone, but it still hurts to know that Krillin will never return with his quirky jokes.

5. Cyborg Frieza And King Cold

This is definitely a good sign that the two evil beings were terminated. But the shocking factor is that no one knows who killed the two. So, Frieza returned in Dragon Ball Z as a Cyborg being, even stronger than before. Along with him, his father’s army is also on guard to destroy the Earth. However, a mysterious Saiyan pops out of thin air to save Earth. To date, fans are making theories upon who the warrior was who killed Cyborg Frieza and King Cold.

https://youtu.be/kGrwjxTZMo4

4. Master Roshi

Master Roshi has been Goku’s teacher since the beginning of Dragon Ball Z. We lost this old man at the hands of King Piccolo. The old master tried his best martial art skills to save his students. But fate waits for no one, and Master Roshi eventually died against King Piccolo in one on one combat. What was more heartbreaking was the fact that he would never return to beat Goku with his stick. As for Piccolo, is still regrets his early actions and tries to undo them whenever he gets a chance.

https://youtu.be/Qr7BHoAzQ2c

3. Vegeta

Another man who Frieza mercilessly murdered was Vegeta. In the battle against the evil antagonist, Vegeta is hit in the heart by a strong blow. No one expected him to die with a mere wound. But this blow was fatal, and Vegeta couldn’t make it. On his deathbed, he asked Goku to take revenge for planet Vegeta and kill Frieza. Goku abides, and we witness the ultimate defeat of the strongest villain of Dragon Ball Z.

https://youtu.be/Vfu1o61p1mQ

2. Dende

This Namekian was a victim of all the wars between races. The cute little green child had no business to be around any conflict. But in the face of evil, all victims must suffer. The same happened to the young child Dende. He was an innocent child who faced Frieza’s wrath for no reason. Moreover, Frieza mercilessly killed the baby in a single blow which brought tears to many eyes. This scene still remains one of the most numbing scenes of DBZ.

1. Goku

We witnessed the shock of Goku’s death when he and Radiz were up against Piccolo. The power-hungry Piccolo blindly pierced the Special Beam Cannon through both of them. Well, this was undoubtedly one of the most shocking deaths in Dragon Ball. While Goku was resurrected later, Radiz was gone forever from the picture. Even after that, Goku has faced death many times in the show. And each time, the shock was equally painful.

https://youtu.be/EHjvjBew18c

13 Facts About Goku’s Family: Goku might be the strongest warrior in the entire Dragon Ball franchise, but everybody would agree that he is not a good family man. Many even criticize this man for not looking after Gohan in his childhood days. This makes it everything that family is an element that Goku is not very particular about. Throughout the series, we see him finding new truth about his original lineage.

Even fans are shocked to find these details just like Goku. Today we are going to explore these details. Like who was Goku’s mother? Or why did he get married in the first place? So without any further ado, here is a list of the 13 most interesting facts about Goku’s family.

13. Bardock, Goku, Goten, And Gohan Are All Voiced By The Same Woman

Sean Schemmel is behind the mic while voicing Goku in the English dub. But if we talk about the Japanese version of it, you will be shocked to learn that a single-voice actress gives voice to a generation of characters. Masako Nozawa has been working as a voice artist for more than twenty years in her career.

In them, the most loved characters have been the ones in Dragon Ball Z. But do you know that a single artist has voiced all these generations? Yes, that’s right. Masako Nozawa has given her voice for all the men- Bardock, Goku, Gohan, and Goten, in the Dragon Ball series. Watch a single episode in a Japanese dub, and you will see how talented this woman is.

12. The Secret Behind Gohan’s Name

Goku is not a very smart man, and it is evident in his meekness. He is always interested in anything which is not battle. We have even seen him being a bad father and a lazy husband at times. Even during the birth of his first son, he was not as happy as he should have been. That’s when Chi-Chi decides to name their son after their grandfather so that Goku feels a connection to the new boy.

This explains why even Goku and his family are not that smart in picking good names. This is the only reason why Goku could not come up with a unique name for his first child and named him after his late grandfather Gohan. Even a second child was named Goten, which was not very creative.

11. Goku And Superman

Do you also find an uncanny resemblance between Dragon Ball Z and DC comics? If yes, then you must be one of the entertainers of the theory of Goku and superman being the same. That’s right, many fans still believe that Superman and Goku have a similar origin story. Both of them have a home planet that is destroyed along with their native race.

They are sent to earth by their parents for safety, where they ultimately become the planet’s protector. However, Toriyama never really confirmed what inspired him to create the character of Goku. But we might guess that he must have been a huge fan of DC comics.

10. Who Was Goku’s Mom?

We have met Goku’s father, Bardock, many times in the anime series. But do you know who his mother was? It should be noted that Goku’s mother never appears in the anime series. Akira Toriyama created a separate manga exploring the parallel universe in DBZ. It is called the Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman. This is the only time we hear about Gine’s existence.

This incident takes place on Vegeta, where we meet Goku’s mother, a Saiyan woman by the name of Gine. But this Manga is believed to be incredibly inconsistent with the original Dragon Ball series. So we still don’t know the credibility of this woman being Goku’s actual mother. But we will go on with this assumption in the further points of this list.

9. Goku And Cell Are Cousins!

The only reason that the Androids existed was to defeat the Saiyan Goku. Dr. Gero’s voice behind these experiments. Although the Androids failed to take down our hero, this crazy scientist created a robot that was like none other- Cell. Gero crafted Cell using Gohan’s DNA which had the Saiyan gene in it.

https://youtu.be/JXI32-YMLPE

We know it’s a bit of a stretch, but both of them share the same genetic formula. This makes Goku and Cell very distant cousins. Even though they hate each other, Goku cannot deny his relationship with the robot!

8. Grandpa Goku

It’s a surprising fact that despite dying so many times, Goku actually managed to stay on earth and become a grandparent. No one has ever seen a Saiyan who has become a grandparent ever!

Even the immortal Saiyans on planet Vegeta never made it to see their grandchildren. This is an achievement in itself for Goku to be able to play with Gohan’s daughter Pan.

7. Goku Married Chi-Chi Because He Was Hungry!

This is one of the most intriguing entries in the list of Facts About Goku’s Family. Well, Chi-Chi and Goku never really had a perfect love story. They both got married in an arrangement by Ox-King. Chi-Chi happens to be the daughter of the king of mountains. She had seen a childhood full of adventures and giant mountain creatures. So Ox-King set her marriage to Goku as an arrangement.

But do you know that Goku only agreed to marry Chi-Chi because he was in a rush as he was very hungry? We just hope the teacher never finds out about this fact, or she will beat Goku to death.

6. Chi-Chi Can Defeat Goku, Gohan And Goten

Goku is the strongest warrior of the galaxy. Yet, he, as a husband, is scared of Chi-Chi. This is not a surprising fact as we have seen Chi-Chi being a hothead at her best.

This relatively makes Chi-Chi one of the strongest characters in the Dragon Ball universe. She can even scare the God of Destruction if she wishes to. Where does Goku stand in front of a woman like her?

5. Goku Is Scared Of Chi-Chi

Do you know that Chi-Chi can beat any of the men in her family if she wishes to? Chi-Chi has the power of taking down all her family members. Well, it is not because she is some kind of Saiyan.

But because none of the boys would hurt her. They would happily get beaten through the hands of their mother. If this is the case, then many villains must ask Chi-Chi for help if they truly want to defeat Goku.

4. Is Goku A Royal?

Goku has always spent a poor life in the woods alongside his father. When he found out that other Saiyans from planet Vegeta used to be royal and rich, he also wished for the same.

We know it’s a bit of a stretch, but Goku is also technically a Royal. Chi-Chi happens to be the daughter of Ox-King. Being the son-in-law of a King, Goku can also be considered a member of the princely family. Now Goku too can proudly brag about his royal lineage to Vegeta.

3. The Story Of Gohan’s Tail

One of the most interesting Facts About Goku’s Family is even his tail was cut off when he was first spotted on earth. Later on, when Goku’s first child, Gohan, was born, everyone was shocked looking at the weird tail on his behind. Even Goku was not aware of his genetic engineering back then.

https://youtu.be/Q3nvHFmngGA

However, the mystery of tails was clarified by the writer of Dragon Ball Z. Akira Toriyama explained that tails used to be a part of many Saiyans ages ago, but now they don’t show up anymore. So, the presence of a tail on Gohan was a rare incident and probably the last in the Saiyan race.

2. Mr. Satan And Videl Join The Family Of Saiyans

Mr. Satan and Videl became part of Goku’s family ever since Videl married Gohan. What is common between all the members of this family. That’s right, they have all won the Tournament of Power. This makes Goku’s family a family of champions. Of course, Mr. Satan ended up taking the credit for all the winnings and became the ultimate champion himself.

1. Gohan Was Meant To Replace Goku

It was the original plan of Akira Toriyama to make Gohan the ultimate protagonist of Dragon Ball after the passing away of Goku. But as the series progressed, he witnessed the popularity of his original protagonist and thought of keeping him in the series for as long as he could.

Gohan’s arc was ultimately changed into a family man and Goku was restored as the original Super Saiyan of the series.

These were all the interesting facts about Goku’s family and lineage. Which one of these facts did you find the most intriguing? Share your thoughts with us in the comment section. For more such nerd listicles on Dragon Ball, keep visiting our website.

The ongoing fifth season of the famous superhero anime My Hero Academia is gaining critical acclaim all around the world. The newest MHA film is also popular amongst the audience. Since 2016, the MHA anime franchise has been dominating the world of the superhero genre of anime. Well, fans always find it challenging to look for a show as good as this one. So, this list is here to ease out your efforts. Thus, without any further ado, here is a list of the top 13 Anime Like My Hero Academia in no particular order.

Demon Slayer

The first name on this list of the Anime Like My Hero Academia is a show whose sequel is the most awaited event of 2022. Yes, we are talking about Demon Slayer. In theory, the themes of both these shows are very different. However, the core of both shows remains the journey of an underdog into becoming the greatest fighter of all time. Both Deku and Tanjiro lack the physical ability to fight evil beings. However, their willpower to help the weak makes them stand out from the rest of the fighters.

Dragon Ball

We all know that My Hero Academia is a superhero-based anime, and so is Dragon Ball. The dissection of fighting styles, power quotients, and combatting skills is similar in both these shows. While there is no comparison to the action that Akira Toriyama produces, MHA still has many moments that will remind you of the classic action tale. The fight between All Might and All For One is definitely something that takes inspiration from Dragon Ball.

Mob Psycho 100

If you like the academic part of MHA more than the action scenes, then switch to Mob Psycho 100 next. This show will give you pretty much the same world to deal with. Here, instead of heroes and villains, we have psychics and spirits that fight for power. The protagonist Mob is a born psychic who is looking to impress his classmate. However, the fact that he is a psychic makes him uncomfortable amongst his peers. There are many similarities that you will find between Deku and Mob. Hence, Mob Psycho 100 is an anime like My Hero Academia, that you should definitely give a try.

Hunter x Hunter

Much like Demon Slayer, Hunter x Hunter also deals with the theme of Demon hunting. Yes, the story of HxH is in huge contrast to the superhero high school tale. However, you will likely find similarities between the protagonist Izuku Midoriya and Gon Freecss. If we read between the lines, both of them are mere children with huge dreams. While one is yearning to become the best hero in the world, the other is looking for his father and also slaying demons. Do watch HxH if you are a fan of underdog stories.

Assassination Classroom

Next up, we have another unconventional high school thriller in the form of Assassination Classroom. An alien that has come on earth to gather information and forge a plan of invasion ends up becoming a mathematics teacher in high school. How is this possible. Well, in Assassination Classroom, anything is possible. The students soon learn that their giant yellow clown teacher is an alien. Thus, they plan an assassination, but their teacher is smarter than they can imagine. The back and forth between the students and the tutor make the plot of AC.

Little Witch Academia

If you haven’t seen this anime yet, there is no better time to watch Little Witch Academia. Just like the names, both these shows are similar in many ways, making it an anime like My Hero Academia. For a start, we are introduced to a physically weaker protagonist who dreams of becoming the best hero in the world. The only thing that keeps the lead on the upper level is their determination to achieve their dream. Moreover, the stepping stone to this dream is the elite high school that trains students to perfect their superpower skills.

Dragon Ball Z

There are many reasons why Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are placed in different categories. The major differentiating factor is the crux of both seasons. Well, the first anime deals with world-building and filler arcs that introduce the characters. Here, the second part is more of an action series that showcases the powers of these characters. Besides, the same is the case with My Hero Academia. The inaugural season gives us the world and characters, and the follow-up seasons deal with fights and combats.

One Punch Man

The next name on this list of the Anime Like My Hero Academia is an all-time fan-favorite One Punch Man. Whenever a discussion about superhero anime series takes place, One Punch Man will be the top name. If you love to learn about combating strategies and fighting styles of different superheroes, the OPM is s treat for you. The series centers around the titular character who is extremely powerful and takes down giant monsters in a matter of seconds.

Yu Yu Hakusho

A large portion of My Hero Academia deals with combat training tasks and championships between the students. If you enjoyed watching those arcs, then you will surely enjoy Yu Yu Hakusho. The story deals with one of the most pessimistic protagonists that you will ever meet. Yusuke has spent most of his life lingering around doing nothing. However, when he sacrifices his life to save a child, God decides to give him another chance. But, before reincarnation, he must complete some tasks and prove his goodwill to the heavenly authorities.

Black Clover

The next name on this list of Anime Like My Hero Academia is the story of historical legends in the form of Black Clover. You get to meet the prodigal child Asta who is going to the next king of Spade Kingdom. However, the nearby realms are planning a siege on Spade in order to assassinate Asta and take control of all the realms. The journey of Asta in restoring the glory of his father’s throne makes up for the plot of Black Clover. If you are a fan of Deku’s willpower and determination, then you will probably like Asta too.

Naruto

Another underdog story that joins the list of the Anime Like My Hero Academia is the classic 90s shows Naruto Shipundden. For many reasons, people believed that Naruto was only the brainless protagonist. However, over the course of time, we learn that he is not always the clown of the scene. The sudden rise of Naruto as one of the best ninjas in the world shocks everyone. However, the same is the case with Deku when he comes out as the possessor of the One For All quirk.

One Piece

If you have been watching One Piece recently, then you must be aware that there is too much chaos going around in Wano. But, that is a matter of some other time. The reason why we add this show to the list is because of its vivid storyline. Multiple subplots, numerous characters, and epic battle scenes are something that you will find in both anime series. Hence, do watch One Piece if you love long arcs about search mysteries.

Food Wars!

The last name on this list of the Anime Like My Hero Academia is the culinary anime Food Wars! The story of this anime is also the same as MHA in many ways. An elite culinary school where budding chefs are fighting to become the best cooks in the world makes up for the plot of Food Wars. The competitiveness and high school environment will give you flashbacks from My Hero Academia.

With Food Wars, we can end our list of the 13 Anime Like My Hero Academia. We hope that this list will help you decide your next binge after finishing the fifth season of MHA.

The four-season Japanese animated series has been running since 2017, and the latest season just ended in January 2021. Since then, fans have been waiting for a reboot.

If you miss Black Clover and cannot find what to watch next, this list will help you sort it out. So, without any further ado, here is a list of the 13 Anime Like Black Clover.

Dororo

To inaugurate this list, let us first start with one of the most heart-rending anime of the year 2019. Much like numerous other anime that came out in recent times, Dororo is also a story of demon hunters. The lead character, Daigo Kagemitsu, and his limbless companion travel from town to town to fight off demons. He also wants to hunt down the leader who is creating newer demons every day. However, the twist is that Diago is a destined child who will one day eliminate the existence of demons. Thus, the monsters are after him to kill him in the budding ages.

Tokyo Ghoul

The next name in the list of Anime like Black Clover is the show that is making news since 2014, Tokyo Ghoul. The story is set in a world where ghouls are trying to dominate human existence. Ken Kaneki is a young student to comes across a ghoul in a lonely street one night. The encounter leaves a bite upon Ken from the monster. Soon the boy realizes that he is slowly turning into a ghoul himself. Although, by some means, the genes of the beast do not make him a complete demon. Instead, he becomes a joining link between the humans and the monsters to end a lifelong fight between the two races.

Yu Yu Hakusho

If you also root for the supernatural and action-packed show, then do watch Yu Yu Hakusho from the early 90s. The show’s premise deals with a 14-year-old ignorant boy Yusuke Urameshi who has done nothing good in his life. By all means, he is destined to die in vain. However, surprisingly, he sacrifices himself to save a child from a car accident. As a result, fate decides to give him another chance at life. Now, Yusuke must complete missions and prove his goodwill to God if he wants to get back his life. The thrill and severity of these tasks will give you flashbacks from the battle sequences of Black Clover.

Dota Dragon’s Blood

Even if you are not an anime lover or an otaku, there are chances that you have heard about the anime adaptation of the popular fantasy game DOTA. Much like its video game counterpart, Dragon’s Blood also has plenty of fans around the globe. Now, let’s talk about the plot. The story of Dota Dragon’s Blood follows Davion, a legendary knight who slays dragons to protect humans. However, he realizes that even the dragons have a bigger enemy to fear- the demons. Thus, Davion joins forces with the elder dragon to eliminate the demon races from the earth.

Gosick

If you are looking for a horror thriller as your next binge, then we’d suggest you go for Gosick. The period anime is set in the 1920s and deserves all the praise for its gritty visuals. The story focuses on the peculiar happenings of the St. Marguerite Academy, where students are mysteriously disappearing. Hence, we get to know about Kazuya Kujo, a new student who decides to investigate the matter. Watch this one to experience bone-chilling visuals that you might have never seen in any other show.

Deadman Wonderland
