RIP Akira Toriyama. This tournament, and so many other things, literally couldn't have happened without you. It's impossible to overstate how much you mattered to so many people, and your legacy will live on long after the rest of us are gone.

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 one-hundred-and-fourteen! Frieza vs. King Piccolo!
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9df7eece.jpg
Reminder that this is King Piccolo, the villain from the end of the original series; not his son/reincarnation who becomes an ally in Z and Super.

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.

Honestly? King Piccolo, for not only reveling in his evil, but also changing the overall trajectory of the series going forward.

Frieza was better before they brought him back in Super, even if he did have some exciting moments.

Frieza is probably the single most popular villain in anime history.

Tough match up since both are excellent villains but it's hard to see Frieza not taking this since he's such a refined example of a DBZ villain and it's most iconic at this point.

One seriously has to give KP credit for the way Toriyama's already great writing of the series evolved with him though; it led to a lot of good material.

If this was Frieza versus Actual Piccolo it'd be a much harder choice.

TBH I'd argue in favor of Piccolo (Jr) in that case. One of if not the best arcs in the series.

That's what I'm saying, yeah.

KP is a neat character but he ain't one of the greats.

Piccolo Junior?

Even a shittier, hanger-on version of Frieza included only for nostalgia's sake is better than about 95% of villains.

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

I think King Piccolo is a cooler (no pun intended) character, but Frieza is a more interesting antagonist from a narrative standpoint. So I went with him.
