While Dragon Ball is famous for its Saiyan heroes, it's also home to some of the darkest villains in anime history
Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball has been loved by fans for over forty years with its amazing storytelling. It’s so popular because of its great heroes, cool power-ups, and clever plots that keep getting bigger and better. But, in any good story, the bad guys are just as important as the good ones. Without strong villains, the story can get boring. Dragon Ball keeps things exciting by giving us villains who keep getting stronger and scarier. Eventually, they become powerful enough to threaten not just one world, but the entire universe.
