Greatest Character Development EVER 

The fact that they made you root for Walter and then you realize that after defeating Gus, the only great threat is Walter, He went from a harmless and innocent teacher to slowly losing his kind heart and molding it into a cold and manipulative socipath

The thing that’s craziest to me about Zuko’s journey, is how quickly his hair grew in less then a year.

RIP Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball 🥀. Vegeta was a goated character, he knew how to write great characters. His legacy will be forever remembered.

the zuko arc is extremely abbreviated here you really have to watch it to see it

While Ice King aka Simon didn’t have much of an arc in the original show, I will attest that the IK has one of the most shocking reveals off all time. He went from a wacky, kidnapping ice wizard, to the most sad character in the entire show.

Speaking of Walter having the audacity to cry, Bryan Cranston did a good job there with the crying because he saw Kristen Ritter (actress of Jane) look dead and in that moment, Bryan saw the face of his own daughter in that exact same dead position. It haunted him so much to the point where he needed a powerful reminder from Anna Gun (actress of Skyler) that none of it was real. Terrible for Byran there. But I'll admit, VERY GOOD ACTING.

Vegetas neck development is even better bro went from pencil neck to bull neck

Walter’s personality was so abrupt that you have to believe that it was ALWAYS there. Had he stayed at Gray Matter, he would have become a ruthless ceo. The money, power, and recognition would have been too much to keep his ego in check.

Stanley Pines, Simon Petrokov, Magneto, Rigby, Hawkgirl, and of course Zuko were the characters from my childhood cartoons who had some of the best changes.

I honestly wouldn't say Super ruined Vegeta's character, It is a topic that comes up every time Super and Vegeta are mentioned. People usually say Super retconned Vegeta because he went back on his Buu Saga development. But the developments aren't the same. In the Buu Saga, Vegeta puts down his life long grudge of revenge against Goku, he's not orienting his entire life around beating Goku anymore. In Super, yes, he still wants to beat Goku, but it's as a regular martial artist and a prince and wanting to be the best he can be, he just didn't lose interest in fighting and retire like half the cast. But you can see the difference when he skips out on training to with his family, like when Bulma was going to give birth.

Ngl I think Arthur Morgan had huge character development

Bro I love Zuko and Vegeta. Respect

I think what makes these arcs so great is how the writers are very honest about the characters' situations. We are shown every step to their change in painstaking detail. Ugly parts and all. Which is what makes the conclusion to their arcs so satisfying.

Vegeta on Namek was peak vegeta for me

No one is insulting Uncle Iroh that he is the best character ever written

I think 1 thing needs to be understood, character progression =/= character development. Static characters can have great character development Ex. The joker or batman, they're fairly static characters, but the development is from the exploration of how they would respond in different situations. Development = exploring how characters respond to different things, and gaining further insight on their thoughs, ideas, purpose, objectives etc progression = how a character changes through time It just so happens to be the case that in many cases development co-incides with progression (as shown here)

Honestly Zuko and Vegeta imo have the best character development in fiction so it's a W to see them both in one video

My boi got his own Character Development on Reaching to 100K

Doofenshmirtz should be on here he had the greatest charecter development

If we’re talking about Vegatas character development let’s not forget the man’s complete growth in GT. The man loves humans now and calls Kakarot Goku.. he’s also laughing and doing father daughter bonding and hoursing around with goten and trunks.

Derek is a man of culture

You know your day boutta be fire when Derek uploads

W 100k absolutely inspirational, i’m proud of u bro love u

Super Vegeta? I'm asleep. GT Vegeta? Now that's how you do my boy.

Thorfinn has by far the best character development. Goes from an innocent little boy to a stone cold mass murderer who can compete with the strongest killers then he becomes a slave and then becomes a peaceful man who wants people to stop fighting

bro i cant say why but i love these vids. keep it up G. here for every single vid

I love your works hopefully for my art skills will get better just like your personality

was with ya when u had 18k! Ur making good progress for a reason)!

You forgot that not just the whole "Jane wasn't good for Jesse", but she quite literally threatened to END Walt, also putting his whole family into the pit...

Sick!! Was waiting for this!!🍺

Dude your humor and editing is on point! Great vid

Zuko truly is the best.

lowkey this vid got me wantin to watch avatar again good work ma boy

Seeing as i subscribed yesterday.... i feel like i may have been 100k... which us wild, your vids are top quality and i love them!

Yeah Walt is evil in S4. But jumping over S5 altogether is craaaazy.

Loved the berserk insert there at the end. Great top 3 though

DerekFDB: His (Walter's) transformation was night and day! Or day *THEN* night. Because Vegeta was night, then day.

Finn, the Human is one of the best characters I've ever met, I loved to see that kid grow, make mistakes, learn from them, mature and become a true Hero, I felt proud of him

Congrats ON 100K!!! wow your so underrated, just stumbled on your page, you was at like 1 subscriber! crazy to see the growth

dude your videos are TOO good, it amazes me

Grats on 100k, time for me to rewatch avatar

keep going bro love ur vids, the guts clip at the end made this vid perfect :)

Waited to long for this

Those are very well done, character development characters

"I watched Jane die. I could've saved her, but I didn't." That has to be the *coldest* line in television history.

congrats on 100k man, lovely

Ayy man just found your channel and already binged all the vids Amazing content dude

the fact that in 5 more months he reached 200k is crazy, love DerekFDB , keep making fire vids

This video made me want to rewatch each of these shows

Congrats on the 104k Derek‼️ 😎👍🏾

would love to see another video just like this in the future with kevin from ben 10 and maybe lloyd from ninjago

I also use to tough Zuko was the character with the best character development in perhaps all media... but then I watched and read Vinland Saga and met Thorfin.

god bless u bro happy new year 2024 is gonna be a great year for u

Very cool video! If there's a part 2, pls add thorfinn from Vinland Saga or batman from The Batman

John Lockes arc was wild in LOST

NEW POSTTT LETS GOO

Amazing Video, you never miss

Season 5 Walter is SO much worse than 2,3 and 4 😭

Awesome content!

you should make recaps you're hella good at them ngl

Reverse Character Arcs can also be really great, because it makes you look at characters in different perspectives, like Pink Diamond from Steven Universe.

“Leaves From the Vine” That scene hurt me as someone who has a lost loved one

Yessir new post!!!!

What makes Zuko's character development feel more human and real was that "relapse" when he chose to side with Azula. When you're recovering you aren't throwing off all bad things at once. There were still traces of that old Zuko because the change was gradual.

Yeah when it comes to Vegeta we don’t talk about Super… Though we gotta give Saul an honorable mention at least, while he’s not quite in the same tier of character development as Walter he’s up there.

Congrats on 100K ganger

He is w man’s he is at 100k congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉😢the best RU-vidr

Imagine not catching up on Breaking Bad in 2023...Walt and Hank die. Jesse snitches

3:56 Damn this made me laugh HARD. Subscribed.

You need to remake this video cos season 5 makes walt's ego in the maximum height

The beach always been one of my favorites too

Great vid bro.😺

Love you bro

Thumbnail speaking facts

You haven't seen Season 5 yet?! Dear god that season has the single best episode of television in it! You're in for a ride man

You gotta do a part 2 with ThornFinn from Vinland saga

Vegeta is my favorite character in DB. Happy to see at least some people like him too.

The thumbnail goes hard as $h1t 🔥🔥🔥🔥

FINALLY A NEW VIDEO

Yea walter white had crazy development but my guy Heisenberg stayed true to to hisself 😤

I feel like majin Vegeta was able to resist not because he became good but the urge for a Saiyan to fight stronger opponent out weighed his hate for Goku.

These characters are so fucking amazing man

Damn better be preparing a new script for season 5 Walter...

100k❤ DerekFDB Well Deserved.

You know what, you should do a review on book 1 to 3 of avatar

Awesome vid

I once heard someone say that Walter White's character development wasn't about him changing. It was about him realizing who he truly was.

Nahh when walter killed jane that was the moment i truly started rooting for him bro so cold w it

Best channel ever

bro dis guys meme selection is top tier

10:52 This is where I need to disagree with you. The character can be established, static, but explored throughout the story without any change to him. LOTR as an example - Frodo at the beginning is the same Frodo at the end, we just see him overcome great odds, but as a character he doesn't change. We explore more of him, see him in the different situations, but, in general, he stays the same. A bit more understanding of the world around him and experienced, but it is no 180 degree turn, like characters in the video. It is possible to have a great static character that becomes the reason for others to change, or a static character that the audience exlpores and finds depth in. Indiana Jones, Jordan Belfort, Bronson, Forrest Gump, Marty McFly, John Wick etc. Do we know more of them at the end? Yes. Can we say that they have changed their character at the end? Not really, they just went through an adventure, but stayed true to themselves.

Gt vegeta continued with that great development

Great choices

The Beauty of how Walt became evil is because all the choices he did were all logical (as he was always a methodical guy and smart one), like Killing Jane that wasn't directly his fault but was a chance he took, as she was blackmailing Walter, just because Walt didn't want to give them the money for their drug abuse (in that sense to me it was justified he let her die because of it, as a result the only logical choice was to let her die). If you notice most of his choices before turning evil, were all logical ones, but his actions never went according to plan. For example he wanted to work with gus for like 3 months to make good money, but it didn't go according to plan and he just embraced his logical side to continue (because he needed it to survive). Thus this is why In season 5 he starts to act more like a super villain because of his more elaborated schemes. And he is just Heisenberg by that point.

8:14 Truer words have never been said 😂

You’ve literally chosen my 3 favorite fictional characters besides Spider-Man. That’s incredible.

Couldnt agree more with this list

Proud of you king

Didn't Walter let Jane die because she was threatening to turn him in/blackmail him? Pretty sure that's why he let her die.

I like how the scar on Zukos Face is symbolic, that the Fire Lord isnt fighting the earth kingdom or Water Tribe, he is fighting against all good people who are against him. Another Moment of pure growth, is where Zuko end up being in the Comics again against Aang, cause Aang wants to resettle every inhabitant from the fire Nation colonies to their respective Kingdoms, but Zuko refuses after he realizes that it would tear families apart. I would really recommend reading the comics, its a shame they werent animated, since they are a great bridge to Korra, and even explain what happened to Zukos Mother.
