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-eight! Tien Shinhan vs. World Tournament Announcer!
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f2d3ae27.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.

Tien used to be such a badass in the OG series.

Though I guess the Cell thing was also cool.

How is the poll even is this close? I mean the announcer is alright, but he's objectively nowhere near as cool as Tien. Or is this another thing you guys agreed on earlier, like "lol hey guys what instead of goku or vegeta we let bulma win this time because that would be awesome and hilarious right teeheehee"

Yeah, his fights against Nappa and Cell were pretty much his only moments to shine in Z, despite the fact he was one of the strongest and fiercest non-saiyan fighters on Earth.
I get that some of the many side characters were brushed aside, but Krillin and Piccolo were pretty much the only ones who stayed somewhat relevant.
Whenever any of the other non-saiyan fighters made an appearance it'd be like "oh yeah almost forgot that character exists too, because we haven't seen 'em for like 50 episodes."

Well, in Bulma's case, you can blame Scotty_Rogers and his making many, many topics about his hate-boner for her. That said, I'm certain the TC has him blocked, as otherwise he'd definitely would have been in these topics.

Tien got sidelined hardcore, but him bodying Cell for a bit was awesome enough for him to get my vote.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

The announcer is one of the best side characters in the series. Doesn't show up often, isn't a fighter. But he's always great.

As someone who loves the original tournaments, this is definitely a hard decision to make. The announcer is in every one of them...tien gives a great tournament though.

Nah. I only use the block list for people who do way worse things than have a Bulma-hating gimmick, and only have three users on block.

We've just been lucky.
