Who is Dragon Ball's Most Evil Character? (And Why) 

What do you guys think of my analysis? Who do YOU think is the most evil Dragon Ball villain?

I really want the Dragonball Super anime to return already so we can finally hear Moro's voice in both Japanese & English. As well as a potential unique theme.

Fully agree man, for me its always been between Moro and Frieza since both are similar kinds of evil. I think Frieza will continue to prove himself as Dragon Balls most evil villain as time goes on

Omega Shenron beats them all because he broke the main rules of dragon ball. He is objectively so evil that he makes the viewers hate him more than any other villain.

It has to be Cell because he is the PERFECT villain after all

Letting Freiza see the true levels of power in the multiverse and showing him his power was little to none comparing was the WORST thing goku could've done

I would say Frieza is the most traditionally villainous character just because of his negative character arc. And even after fighting with the Z-fighters to help save his universe, he still remains a primary threat to the galaxy, and the sayians/Z-fighters. Then again, Buu (Kid-Buu) is literally the incarnation of evil. Only argument against that would be it’s not entirely sentient like Frieza. Buu would just kill and destroy with the objective of killing and destroying whereas Frieza would more than likely torture you for hours until deciding to kill you and laugh while doing it.

Frieza was the only one to suggest overthrowing Zeno, a scheme that not even Zamasu thought of. Now that he has reached a new level of power by training for 10 years will he be able to do it??

DB's sense of morality actually needs to be talked about more often.

Yeah I definitely agree. Frieza is the definition and embodiment of evil. I also believe thats why the fight between him and Goku on Namek was so iconic seeing as how it was two titans with completely different philosophies. Great video🔥

I feel like I’m witnessing the birth of a really amazing channel

Even if Moro becomes more bland as the arc goes on (going from a cool looking warlock goat to another generic strong humanoid who barely uses magic), I can't deny that, at his best, he's my favorite Super villain

Frieza is a major prick 💀 He is evil by choice instead of by force. Moro being right there with him Both had an opportunity (Frieza more than once, 3 times I believe) to turn their life around. Cell was made with the intention to destroy Kid Buu is a force of nature (or chaos) Vegeta (and the Saiyans) were basically enslaved and if they didn't do their job, Frieza would've killed them but they died either way. (That doesn't mean they weren't ruthless neither, they killed all the truffles and destroyed their home.)

I think a good pick would be demon king piccolo

Zamasu is the most evil in my opinion because unlike other villains who just did evil things for the sport of it, Zamasu believed everything he did was in the name of "justice". Zamasu killed mortals because he believed they misuse their gifts & kill each other. He terrorized Future Trunks' timeline because he used time traveling, a privilege only gods can use so mortals using time travel is a taboo. Whis & even Jaco brought that up. Zamasu decided to carry out the punishment.

Buu & Moro are similar in evil. They see all life as food for them to make themselves stronger. But Moro is much more intelligent

I honestly say beerus despite its "balance" he constantly threatens or just instantly destroys planets sometimes just by sneezing and he does it happily,just my opinion tho.

It's less that Frieza was working within the cosmic system and more that he feared Beerus. He wouldn't dare disobey the God of Destruction, no matter how powerful he was at the time. And even then, Beerus only told Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta.

I feel like in order to be evil it needs to be personal. Zamasu is indiscriminate with his destruction, even if it was called the “Zero Mortal Plan” he still aims to destroy Gods as well. Moro might eat planets and overdosed one of his soldiers with power, but that just feels more destructive and uncaring than evil per se. Then again, I haven’t read the Moro arc, so all I have to go off are what RU-vidrs have stated, so maybe there’s something he does that is truly heinous, but so far, doesn’t seem truly evil to me. With Frieza, I agree with him being the most evil due to him enslaving entire races and personally bullying them into submission. He literally tortures his opponents, while also actively enjoying the suffering of others, both physically and psychologically. He knows he’s a villain, and he loves every second of being one.

Depends on how you look at it. In many fictional worlds, evil is an actual objective force, part of how the universe works. In our world, evil doesn't exist without a will to perceive and interpret it. But in much of fiction, evil is a force that manifests itself through characters. People can be corrupted by evil and subsequently have the evil dispelled from them. In Dragon Ball, I'd say this is the type of evil we see. Babidi can take advantage of the evil in people and the devilmite beam kills anyone with evil in their heart. Therefore, Buu being a manifestation of pure evil makes him the most evil character. You could hypothetically use the super dragon balls to remove the evil from Freeza's heart (why haven't they ever tried this?), but if you tried doing that to Buu, it would be the same as killing him.

Janemba and kid Buu literally being evil incarnate:

11:57 Cell was more merciful than Buu

Great video! I'd have to agree. I'd also like to point out the scene where he tries to negotiate with Sidra, and they balk at him, asking if he'd be leaving anything behind that he values in Universe 7 if he were to betray it. Frieza laughed the idea off and said he had no idea what they're talking about. Even Rou Kaioshin and a God of Destruction were shocked at a mortal so evil existing.

This video was incredibly interesting and highly intelligent. Amazing breakdown. However I think the most absolutely criminally overlooked element of Frieza when it comes to how evil they are is the fact that he spent years raping Vegeta. He did so under the guise of keeping his Saiyan brothers safe from harm, only to in the end have them all wiped out anyway. If you don't believe me this is the quote where where he confesses to Goku about this and I believe it, along with Krillin were the true breaking points for Goku going super the first time. It allowed Goku to truly understand that not only was he right and Vegeta was not evil by nature, but he also understood exactly what his brother suffered and in that moment I believe he experienced the pain of his entire life, catalyzing the transformation. "Listen, he took me from my father. When I was just a little boy he made me do whatever he wanted and said he would kill my father if I didn't. I did everything he asked but he killed him anyway along with everyone else! He was scared of us, scared of the super saiyan. That they would rise up and over throw him. Kakarot, please, destroy Frieza! ...He made me what I am..." Vegeta to Goku before the final battle with Frieza. Frieza can never have a redemption arc. That's actually one of the things that absolutely killed super for me. I still love the lore but I cannot watch that abomination humanizing the most evil character in existence. Fuck Frieza for real. Vegeta fans rise up!

Your channel is growing phenomenal.

I just discovered this channel and it's awesome! Great work, man!

This is dope. I liked how you started by defining your interpretation of morality in the db universe and ranking them that way. Agreed with all of them.

2:01 grand Zeno isn't known to be the creator of the 12 universes. In fact I think the canonical creation deity is the Toribot, which is the weird robot Toriyama draws himself as in the back of his manga. Like Tomska with ASDF movie, Toriyama has written himself into the godhood of his fictional setting. Another competitor for the creator god of the setting is of course Zalama the first Namekian and creator of the super dragonballs. In effect Zeno is an administrator and destroyer for all the 12 universes, set in place to oversee the proper maintenance of the cosmos.

I've seen a number of your vids so far. You seem to bring a distinct insightful style compared to other DB RU-vidrs. You deserve way more subs.

Sheesh excellent analysis bro, no contesting here 🤞🏾

Great video!

Excellent analysis. I love these videos.

Dude you make such solid dragon ball content. From the analysis to the music, keep up the good work! I don’t usually turn post notis on, but I got ‘em on for you😂💯

10:55 Well, he WAS tracking Goku and Vegeta, going where powerful energy sources where and checking it out, and he also knew Goku couldn't throw the spirit bomb with Vegeta in the way, and took advantage of that.

Love these breakdowns... This had recently become my favorite channel

Love the videos man keep it up 👍

I'll make a prediction before completing the video and edit it later. So. Imo. King Piccolo is decently evil but doesn't compare to the rest. Raditz is a world conqueror. That's quite evil. Vegeta is just far more ruthless and egotistical. Androids (current timeline) aren't evil. Cell's a pretty evil guy. He wants everyone to fear him. He loves watching the fear on people's faces. Buu (Kid Buu) is Universal natural disaster. Beerus isn't evil. Goku black for mortals is evil but for himself he isn't. Moro looks at life as food. Gas is just a puppet for Elec. Imo. Frieza takes the cake. He's unhinged evil. Well I didn't expect the morality to be based from the viewpoints of Zeno. I'm happy that I was correct of some.

Idk why it took me watching two of your videos to subscribe. But I'll be keeping on eye on this channel. Keep it up.

Kid Buu is chaotic evil

this was my first video of yours and it was a great listen.

Great job as always I enjoyed the video🔥 See u in next months video✌🏾

Followed. Your dragonball content is crazy stuff

Amazing video

Clever and well thought out Taking a kids show I grew up on and giving me another chance to look at it in a deeper level

I love the dialog around Zamasu but your analysis of him is definitely my favorite. I have such a love/hate relationship for that arc.

this is the best dragon ball channel ever. Best narration. Best topics. Best aesthetic.

Characters like Buu, Omega Shenron and Janemba are evil by design, whereas Frieza and Zamasu are evil because they choose to be. That's what puts them on top for me. I'd say Frieza is definitely the more sadistic of the two, although Zamasu's god complex and sense of superiority really gets on my nerves.

What software do you use to make your thumbnails, Great video by the way.

Fun fact: Akira's inspiration for Frieza's character was real estate agents and companies. Theres that then. Lol

I will say that the most evil character in Dragon Ball is Bibidi/Babidi. Now it's true that his power levels are just a joke, but his magic poweres are really terrifying. His one ability to Manipulation Sorcery, and boosts the targets power drastically makes him one of the most dangerous beings in the universe, and you could imagine what could happen if he would take control of Moro, or Black Frieza (pure evil targets are much easier for him to control, like we saw with dabura). With additional Majin power ups Moro, and Black Frieza would be almost invincible. He also has the power to use Sealing Spell so it's theoretically possible for him to seal up Immortal Zamasu, unless he would also want to control him for his own ends. He is as sadistic as Moro, wants to rule the universe like Frieza, and on top of that he kill anyone enemy or an ally that has grown out of his usefulness to satisfy his sadistic nature (Frieza will not always kill his own soldiers if they stay loyal to him like ginyu force, zarbon and dodoria). Kid Buu was pure destruction, but Bibidi/Babidi manage to used that power to take over the universe, and this is really something. Ps. I will treat Bibidi, and Babidi as one person since it's pretty confusing, some sources are stating that Babidi is son to Bibidi, or Babidi is doppelganger to Bibidi.

how in the hell does this channel have only 2k subs

Nice video man

22:02 Janemba is underrated

Bro, this is the third video that I watched tonight and I had to say that you are a fucking genius keep up the good work bro I love your videos ✌🏽🫴🏼🫘

i seen the title and immediately said frieza i cant think of anyone else other than buu but he isnt on the same level as frieza because buu just pulls up and boom ur gone frieza will keep you there till he is satisfied and make you suffer im very glad to see in the manga we are getting our good ole frieza overpowering goku and vegeta saga back i really wanna see how it plays out the hype is real

Brah I’m new here and I like your video analysis on the phycology and philosophy on all of these characters! But there still something I want to know how many real world fighting styles exist in dragon ball? And how many did goku learn ; and if he’s the greatest martial artist ever?

Zeno is an 'interesting' case to say the least. I think it depends on whether you look at the manga or the anime. I'm mainly focusing on the T.O.P. era where there were 2 Zenos deciding what to do with the universes. I think in the manga it was stated that they were simply bored because there were TOO many universes to watch over. Seriously, there are TWO of you...why not divide it up where one Zeno looks over 6 and the other Zeno looks over the other 6? Erasing universes because it's too much work for you doesn't seem very benevolent. I also hated when the anime had Grand Priest giving a speech about Zeno's intention with the tournament and Super Dragon Balls. Basically, it makes it seem like it was their goal to test the morality of the participants to see whether or not they'd restore the fallen universes. It makes it seem even more clear that the characters we got to know during the arc (well the few we did not too many of them had established character or personality) were nothing but pawns of the gods to play with. In Super Dragon Ball Heroes, I think Hearts was trying to destroy the totem pole of the gods by overthrowing Zeno. Um, I wasn't against that. Seriously, dude wiped out 7 universes for the sake of 'testing creation' to see if they were worthy of existing. WTF...

Technically, Janemba would be the most evil, since he is the literal incarnation of evil, but the thing is, characters like kid buu or broly act a lot more evil than janemba does

1:38 “in our universe, nuking a planet to dust is bad” it won’t be bad if all humanity is dead tho👀

You know what's crazy? I still catch myself finding Frieza charming from time to time. Now that's a villain. Gosh damn.

I always wondered in the TOP, if Vegeta's wish would be considered selfish?? Because he would wish that universe back for one person.... but at the same time he would wish the universe back...🤔🤔

This needs more views

I’m surprised z broly didn’t make honorable mentions. The guy was just on a whole other level of evil. Not frieza level but he did enjoy beating the absolute shit out of people, he even destroyed those alien slave home world right in front them and then killed them. Laughed while he did it.

You can’t end a video with Ultimate Battle I’m singing that shit now and I’m gonna be bumping it all week

Thumbnail: HE EATS PLANETS Me: I didnt know Dbs Was doing a marvel collab💀

In a world of corrupt politics, rise in cost of living, stagnant wages, and fear mongering news outlets, content creates like you take me out of this madness for a minute.

Its interesting since the motive of Good as Balance and everyone taking their due place is in my opinion present in Dragon Ball ever since the ending of the first DB. When Goku visits Kami it is to revive Shenron to wish back his friends. It is both selfish and compassionate. However, there he is taught that Kami is King Piccolo's other half, who is alive because of Piccolo. Neither can die while keeping the other alive. Flash forward to the World Martial Arts tournament, and Kami is enacting a secret plan to defeat Piccolo. If it is necessary for him to die, he will do so. Now, this doesn't pan out, and Goku faces Piccolo not just for the title, but to defeat King Piccolo once again. But now that Goku has a greater understanding of the situation, he is capable of being compassionate and merciful. The point is defeating Piccolo, not killing him: not just because it is abstractly right, but because Piccolo is an integral part of his world, as the other half of the Guardian. Looking forward, he actually gives Piccolo a chance to develop autonomously as whatever he wants to become. (And incidentally, when Kami lets go and is absorbed by Piccolo to face off against Cell, it is out of his autonomy: Kami has to convince himself, due to Piccolo's influence, that this is the right choice: he is not coerced into being selfless). Interestingly, the appreciation for the compassionate but competitive attitude of Goku present in that Tournament implicitly is there until the ending of Super, in the Tournament of Power. While it it might be a retcon, we learn that Zeno intended to end all Universes. It was only because of his liking of Goku's demeanor, and the fun he had at the Universes 6 and 7 tournament, that he decides to arrange a Universe Survival Tournament. And of course, as we learn later, the idea was to try out if mortals were worthy of being kept alive. In conclusion, while Goku may not consciously be the smartest individual, his intuitions are always in accord with what his Universe interprets as Good.

I'd still say Moro is the most evil villain Yes, Freeza is a complete monster that commits insane acts of treachery, but Super showed that there is layers to his mentality. He's willing to help our heroes, he's willing to trust others, and he's willing to understand even someone he hates like Goku. I truly believe that Freeza has the capacity to be good, if he actually tried to be. On the other hand, Moro is just completely evil, bad to the bone. There's basically nothing that implies him to have any ounce of morality. We even see a direct parallel of him with Freeza. When Goku is willing to show mercy, Moro acts just like Freeza did. But we know that Freeza is able to grow from this. Moro seems to have no ability to do anothing good There's even an argument you can make about how Freeza could've been raised to be as callous as he is. All in all, I'd give Moro the edge in terms of evilness

I think it’s worth mentioning Bibidi, who created Buu and pointed him like a gun, and later Babidi, who intended to continue using Buu in that same manner.

I like seeing ppl go "Zamasu is way more evil than Frieza" I see Zamasu a lot like Thanos. Zamasu believes what he's doing is good yet cannot admit his actions are cruel simply because he will think himself a failure in his mission. Zamasu cares about creation, mortals are nothing but pests who ruin it, it's like having roaches in your home and stuff, they ruin shit and need to be dealt with. Zamasu's ideals and values is what drives him to take on the burden of eliminating mortals. Unlike Frieza, Zamasu doesn't just care about himself 24/7. Zamasu eliminates mortals, but Frieza likes torturing and being outright cruel to anything and everything.

Moro, sure, he was bad, but I didn't think he was going to be that bad off of the break. Moro himself said that killing people and depowering them are just the said effects of his magic and power, and he just does it just to fill his stomach. If there was a backstory to Moro, like he just absorbed life force to survive, not on entire planets, but maybe more small scale things, and then he received a lot of hate and criticism for it and that treatment from people turned him cold and now he doesn't care what happens to people as they are absorbed by him. Moro is like Galactus from Marvel, but the concept of him being a world eater, that is what he was intended for, and even though he does it, the thing to remember is what Moro said about his only intention is filling his stomach and that depowering people and strengthening himself are only fortunate side effects, that right there shows that Moro eats to live, he doesn't live to eat, so it wouldn't be like he started off as pure evil, because in real life if you kill animals to eat them, depending on where you stand morally it could be very inhumane, or it is just a necessary part of life and a way to feed yourself and your family. So, maybe Moro was not inherently evil, but over time, he became cold and didn't care about who got hurt because whether he is doing on a small scale or to survive or whatever, people would still hate him no matter what. I believe that they should explain origin stories in Dragon Ball like on Frieza and some others, but if they gave a backstory like this to Moro, then Moro would seem like a more sympathetic character/villain. Tell me what you all think.

I love this so much lmao 2:27

2:27 why was that line delivery so funny?

Calling buu a "natural disaster" was so bad ass and funny 😭 "Oh shit not a Category 7 human extinction attack 😱".

It's definitely Kid Buu he was literally stated to be a being of pure evil that caused mindless destruction across the universe. The first thing he does is destroy Earth and didn't monologue ( not that he could ) and proceeded to not only threthen other world but troll Goku and Vegtea mutplie time. He also takes joy in death and destruction.

Made a list a while back about the most evil db villains and Moro was defintely my #1 followed by Frieza and then Cell

When Buu absorbed Gohan, did he not absorb the intellect of Gohan to understand the aspects of morality and compassion and then in the same breath reject it instantly. I think Buu is the personification of evil as he discards these aspects for his own enjoyment destruction and malice.

M A J I N B U U ( he's literally called pure evil)

I personally feel like Zamosu is definitely the most evil he's like if Kid Buu actually understood what he was doing just going around blowing entire worlds/galaxies on a whim but Zamosu wanted all mortals removed because he thought they were evil , kinda like the Batter from OFF the major difference is Zamosu had no good reason to destroy where as the Batter saw it was better off with everything fading to black

If Janemba ever becomes canon definitely would love to see a follow up on this vid

I personally think and I know this is an underrated answer is imperfect cell. Not only is this a villain creepy he's drinking people with his booty straw so not only is he the most terrifying villain he's the disgusting and evil villain in Dragon Ball history. I was so terrified as a child of this character and I was even more nervous for the Androids who he was supposed to absorb in the same arc. Poor 17 and 18 didn't deserve to go through what they did so Cell could reach his perfect form

It’s time 🔥

I think zamasu is the most righteous villain, and probably character too

My #1 non canon most evil villain is Z BROLY

idc what anybody says, buu literally pulled up to HEAVEN and killed everyone again. That’s pure evil.

Raditz is so forgotten he didn't even get his own chapter in the video segments.

Depends on the type of judgements of good and evil. From what you've said, I agree, but from certain points of views on Morals and Ethics I'll list the most evil "Villains" based on a few different philosophers ideas of such. Kantianism... Utilitarianism... etc, just a handful of the ones I have studied that I hand picked on for characters actions. Only odd one was Zamasu, since concepts of "Justice" are based on a lot of things, another social construct like, "Good and Evil". So, in most cases, Zamasu would not be evil, only evil in the sense of "killing humans" which is bad in our human biased views but if we convert it to Zamasu killing "specific animals" (humans) or it is his "job" he still murdered his own kind, Gowasu. So in some moral and ethical views he isn't completely "evil", is leaning full evil, but he is an interesting thing to be in horror of that we humans can replicate by our own strong beliefs. So I took 4 absolutes, making him an "evil" in 2 variants but also a "good" in 2 variants of Ethics and Morals. So on to clean cut "evils". Raditz/Vegeta/Nappa - evil 3 variants, mostly based on apathy and selfishness. Frieza - evil 4 variants, a lot about these actions are completely selfish and apathetic, but also maliciousness without justification. Cell - evil 2 variants, selfish, somewhat spoilt justified reasons, sort of made to be what he is. Buu - evil 1-3 variants, oddly enough, the strongest Buu is like an animal and is hard to give our social concepts onto him, the versions of him where he can interact are more evil by our standards. Moro - evil 4 variants, I don't really know of him, but reading a bit... I'd say similar to the philosophers I used to judge Frieza. Baby - evil 4 variants, I was kinda wierded out when I learned more about Baby, since I didn't really know much about him, apparently more justification than Frieza. Shenron - evil 2 variants, kinda like cell, I thought he's be more "good" because he's a creation of malice made by others but I didn't know how to view this. Beerus - 2 varients, similar to Cell, except it's his job so it's almost invalidates 1 of them. Jiren - 1... not really "evil" and the philosophy I picked for him just basically says he's evil because he wants to fight to be powerful. Kinda funny. Goku - 2 variants, since we know a lot about Goku and there are bits lost in translation or nonsensical/non-canon I can just make another joke. These were hastily put together, they aren't truely what I think, I just thought it'd be interesting to do, feel free to do research it too, if you want, you might understand what I mean or find some cool parallels like with my Zamasu findings. I hope someone found these entertaining. Thanks for reading.

17:00 freza did it because birus told him to. Most likely cause he is last and was keeping count to hold it against Birus later. Think of they knew what would vegita do lol

I would like to see omega shenron be inducted into canon, only with him coming from the super dragon balls, and I want him to slap Beerus with his giant dragon cock. We've already had quite a few wishes on the super dragon balls. Champa got a new earth, Zamasu made 2 wishes, one for Goku's body and one for immortality, and the last one from the anime is legit all 12 (maybe 18 if the writers are decent) universes being revived. Haven't read the manga, but 3 more wishes and we're golden. Honestly it would be sick if he slapped Beerus around, and then slapped Zeno and his guards around, and no one can defeat him. But then the grand priest shows up with a magic "kill the dragon" spell, and once he's gone decides to be the big bad himself and all 12 (maybe 18) universes have to team up with Kais, Destroyers, Angels, and of course the warriors from the universe they govern to defeat him and a new Zeno is born from an even higher hierarchy of gods we aren't aware of. I wanna see who made Zeno and gave him all that power.

Cant wait for more on Black Frieza

The thumbnail made me think of Turles.

Zeno just accidentally destroying a whole galaxy by getting excited

Thumbnail made me think of darth nihilus. He eats planets too

13:30 Moro. Moro was a fun, exciting, cunning & menacing villain

Reading the manga and then the dub, bloodily loved it. Those haters are just annoyed they aren’t 17 again

What's the Song at 13:40?

To me it's just Def the evil buu lineage lol. My man kills them all. Then goes to the afterlife to kill them again

Im surprised no turles as an homeerable mention. He is happy to destroy worlds for his own power

I wonder if db will even have an android that just absorbs all of the others throughout space and time. Xenoverse would be perfect for that, instead of once again telling the same story. Omni energy absorption from- angle Fu, ultimate Mira, super 17, Moro73, and cell. Energy cancelation- angle Fu, and 21. Mira, Fu, cell, and 21's absorption. Op power-Ahms, Fu, Mira, 21, and Moro73 Cloning-21 (Majin, clones), and cell (Jr's)

The villians are what makes Dragon ball what it is seriously look at how much the story was around King Piccolo, frieza, buu, and cell during Z without them Goku or any other characters would not evolve
