Which of these underrated #DragonBall women do you think deserves more attention? Like and subscribe for more of these types of videos.
zangya her is best dbz babe
Gine definitely is she was in the broly movie
Mai from the original Dragon Ball
Bonyu is kinda cool, any chance you could squeeze her into what if Yajirobe trained like goku?
Launch always deserves more considering how shafted she was after Dragon Ball
I’ll admit, I don’t really hate any of the female characters, I just wished they put more thought into it, if they had fleshed out kale and caulifla, we would have probably liked them more.
Had they existed back in the days of DB or maybe early to mid DBZ that would not be a problem as back then characters got way more screen time than in DBS
The whole Universe 6 was wasted potential. Could been an entire Arc before ToP. That would both flesh out the Saiyan's in said universe and differences. It also introduce many characters earlier to give more time to develop/gain interest. It also for say ToP give better reason outside of Universe 6 Saiyan's just being naturally better to Universe 7.
What I mean is how the growth potential and average power level is much higher. Mind Kale, Caulifa, and Cabba being more so exceptional. Given each are supposedly alternate mirrors to main cast. Kale being the alt for Broly, Caulifa for Goku, and Cabba a mix of Vegeta and his "brother".
So later we are more understanding and aware of the growth each can make and how even without God Ki actually be a threat in ToP. It been interesting to explore Hit more and even Frost who was in exile. Could been a real cool Arc that is both and adventure for main cast and a development for Universe 6 cast.
STOP. IT.
To just add to my original long comment😅. Imagine if in ToP there was no hint of other Universe's wiped by Zeno coming back. Say at start it was prohibited to be the wish though the correct choice. A further test for the winners you could say.
For audience that make the stakes actually impactful even if a lie. It also say if prior did bond with Universe 6/had an Arc make the erasure actually hit hard. Mind we all in hindsight can come up with things that sound compelling to what we got...
I don't hate kale and caulifla, they are just... not good...
Not gonna lie Masako. You've done more for Launch and the rest of them then the author himself and it's amazing. That's why I love your content so much.
Here here
Little Lone Raditz!!!
Yet How Was Launch Done Right By Masako
@@XJSPlays02 look at his what if stories.... all the girls get fleshed out in them....
@@raylenn4444 But How Did He Treat Launch Way BETTER huh
MasakOprah:
you get a "Stooop iiiit!"
And you get a "Stooop iiiit!"
Everyone gets a "Stooop iiiit!"
Tiberius: I couldn't I'm show them
Gratitude
I would see it more as
You “stoooop iiit!”
And you “stooop iiit”
Everyone should “stoooop iiit”
I doubt Tien is interested in settling down. He's kinda like a focused monk. Even Launch had no chance with him
TBH Not Everyone Is Interested In Settling Down Whether Its In A Fictional Anime And Cartoon Or Real Life
I would say it's less about settling down and more like give him a reason to win a fight since he's been training martial arts his whole life and does nothing outside of that.
Honestly I kinda headcanon that he's an aromantic asexual too.
@@BreitheNua sounds like a boring headcanon, but do as you please, i'm not your mom...
Imagine if Tien and Yurin settled down and had a kid. It would be interesting to see their kid’s potential.
Before watching: Wait? You found 10 whole female Dragonball characters?!
Some WERE anime-only characters, but Toriyama would have had to given his approval prior to them being included.
@@MasakoX Doesn't Toriyama give his permission for litterally everything?
@@She-Devil94 Not for (gulp) some things...
1:57 Blue Launch: "Howdy folks, I'm Android 13! Look at my Trucker Hat!"
Writing Launch and Colonel Violet is one of my favorite parts to my fanfic. Giving Launch much character development while giving Violet a comedic and sarcastic personality brings me much self joy.
Link please. I would like to read your fanfic please.
@@rexlumontad5644 Launch (who becomes the third main character) doesn't come in until Book 2 while Violet doesn't come until Book 3. It is separated into sagas starting with with the very first episode of Dragon Ball where Bulma first discovered Goku...and Venom.
@@crisisamonginfinitedarthsa4220 Oh okay, you got link to Book 1 then?
@@rexlumontad5644 It's the first link, but I had to check several times because for some reason it was not sending the first time. I will send it again, but in case it doesn't respond go to Wattpad and look for The Symbiote Saiyan: Emperor Pilaf saga.
@@crisisamonginfinitedarthsa4220 Oh okay thank you
I wish there were more female fighters in the Dragon Team such as Chi-Chi and Videl becoming permanent Z fighters of the Dragon Team. I also hope in the future Marron becomes a Z fighter in the Dragon Team in the future!
Why would she? She is litterally outmatched by everyone from the start.
Idiots
I think it would cool if Bulla in the future becomes a Z fighter with a personality similar to her dad
@@The_Blue_Otaku While it's non-canon maybe the stuff in GT that happened to her would be a wake-up call.
@@She-Devil94 because she'd be relevant & interesting, instead of being relegated to being an houswife.....
MasakoX: Here's my top ten list of underrated female characters in Dragonball.
Rule34: We can give them some atten-
Masako: NO, NONE OF THAT, SHAME ON YOU.
Rule34: But all we want is to show off their-
MasakoX: STOOOOOOPPPPP IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone ever noticed that there are no female movie villain bosses? Sure, we get female movie villains, but none of them are in charge.
Hell - Zangya is the only female movie villain that I could remember at all.
Maybe not villains, But Chi Chi and Bulma can defeat Goku and Vegeta respectively just with their god-like skill of nagging!
They need to team up against the ultimate bad at the end of Dragon Ball after everyone is defeated and just nag them into submission.
No senzu beans or dragon wishes, just hell being released by a couple of unsatisfied wives.
That would be a stupid ending to the series, but Dragon Ball humour is what it is.
Some of the games have had female main villains
Yeah but the comment was about movie villains and even so, weren't there about only 3 female main villains in the games? I personally don't see a problem with this, however.
@@SwagimirPutin oh I know what he meant. Just adding comment for the youtube algorithm and something else to discuss
1:45 MasakoX: "Episode 69."
George Takei: "Oooh mmmmy!"
MasakoX: "STOP IT!"
King Kai: Why does this keep happening!?
We can never forget 18s most badass scene completely crushing super Saiyan vegeta and super Saiyan trunks with ease and walking away without a single bruise after that she was rarely mentioned until the tournament of power she probably has to be one of the best female characters on the show definitely one I never forget
That is true, but 18 has had plenty of attention on her.
@@MasakoX
PLENTY of attention. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@SkippertheBart STOP IT
@@MasakoX Kind of true Masako, but like every character not named Goku or Vegeta, it doesn't really feel like it in the whole of the story.
I loved her design and voice. She just looked like the epitome of a typical early to mid 90's valley girl.
5:36 One can imagine Fortuneteller Baba was like when she was young and in her prime like her brother Master Roshi in the past. :D
Launch is still in the void, sadly she’ll never find her way back out.
Sadly yeah, rewatching og db right now, she has so much screentime and is the part of group
She was in the ending of GT, something that Super never thought of doing.
Launch is a spicy cinnamon roll who deserves at least 7 more figures. She was always a favorite memeber of the OG Dragon Ball cast.
Because Toriyama Didn't Know What To Do With Her
@@XJSPlays02 And that he forgot Launch too
8:40 I find it odd that Future Trunks didn't teach Future Mai how to use Ki like him. Then again, with Goku Black and Immortal Zamasu's constant attacks and there is no time for such training, Future Mai is more at home with her element of guerrilla warfare and focuses on keeping the remainder of Earth's people alive.
10:34 I bet that Colonel Violet is the wife of Android 17 the Park Ranger himself all along. :o
Either her or Suno
Launch is the goat. She’s the reason for super saiyan. Hair turning yellow and her getting mad when she sneeze
0:36 Mashima and Oda: "B-bu-but the Fanservice!"
One can write a character both for fanservice and story/character potential. An eye candy is nice and all but if there's nothing intriguing going with her or if she isn't likable enough, then who cares?
If you look past the fan service One Piece has actually pretty well written female characters.
At least compared to the likes of Naruto
Oda? Did you forget that Oda is all about letting his female characters get fights and interesting abilities both? Or how even more "fanservice" characters are still contributing members of the cast and even movers of the plot?
"Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black might have a girlfriend! You know, because she is British!"
Oh, Masako...You have no idea what you have wrought! Lol
Considering his obsession with Goku's body...
I miss Launch, she brought a lot of laughs in Dragon ball and was just kicked out of DBZ aside from around 2-3 scenes
Wow, can't believe that you mentioned Annin. Would love to have seen her again
13:50 Launch: "Who the hell are you?"
Hasky: "I'm you but Cooler."
But what about Princess Snake? Good to see Yurin though, I think she has potential too.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks his" stoooop it!" is hilarious
13:34 It's even more jarring that Rylibeu forgot she has butterfly wings (a big advantage for competitors with natural wings on their bodies) to fly back into the arena in the Tournament of Power.
I loved Hasky and Annin in Dragon Ball. Remember that bit in the last episode of dragon ball (og) english dub where Goku slyly told Grandpa Gohan in the end “have a nice time with Annin” and Gohan was blushing? Good times
In a way, you might say that Hasky is the "Turles" to Launch's "Goku".
That's one way to put it
Anin was interesting for a filler character. I do think more villians should defeat the Dragon Team by destabilizing the underworld and throwing the world into chaos that way.
Suno is pretty underrated.
9:17 ...What if Goku was raised by Colonel Violet?
these characters are so underrated when they could be on top
STOP IT!!!
Don't forget that Baba was the one that brought Vegeta back for Goku to fuse with and fight Kid Boo. Without her they would have certainly lost when Super Boo absorbed Gohan.
My Top 5 Favorite DB Female characters
1. Android 18
2. Bulma
3. Caulifla
4. Kefla
5. Vados and Cheelai (Tie)
Don't forget Heles
Not gonna lie, I really like Yurin's design. That outfit would look great rendered by Shintani Naohiro.
12:03 I think your Raditz spilled out there, Masako.
12:33 I can imagine Annin fighting Giant Piccolo in her giant form.
Masako: If may shot the potara with her riffle, she could have ended the 0 mortal plan right there!
Me: That's an interesting what-if idea
Yurin should be in the next R&R episode that focuses on Tien!
@12:12 Yes!!!! Just finished watching her episodes months ago. I wish she was rewrote into the series.
"Don't worry, I won't account Arale in here"
Me: oh...well.. darn..
Well, to be fair, Arale isn't a Dragon Ball character (despite the 4 crossovers, DB Movie 3: Mystical Adventure, partway through the General Blue arc, an episode in Dr. Slump '97 with Goku, and Super e69). She's a Dr. Slump character.
Goten and Trunks need more recognition too
There really needs to be more love for Kale and Caulifla... we know they are fully known but they really need more love... like if you did a What If for them, Masako...
Smug stick did a what if caulifla was Gokus sister
@@zzskyninjazz1821 yep... we've seen it but it would be cool if Masako did a What If for them...
No one cares
they need more love, for each other. The pairing needs to be made canon dang it!
@@saphcal yes
I freaking love this channel
I really don't see any of the female introduced in the tournament of power being relevant, because the writers didn't give them any real backstory or enough development for people to remember or care for about them.
I was waiting for Ranch to show up before it hit me. I’ve got Masako on the brain.
I love Future Mai. She made Mai a worth while character in comparison to her Dragon Ball counterpart, who was more comedic relief than anything
Yo, I'm so hyped that you mentioned Colonel Violet. She actually matters a lot to the backstory of my OC. My OC is Pink, Android 10, the 1st orphan experimented on by Doctor Gero after her parents, Colonel Violet and Colonet Silver have her. I could go on about my OC all day, but the main point is that I'm so glad you acknowledged such a lesser-known woman like Violet.
Toriyama Did Launch Dirty
Stop It~
MasakoX: Stop it!
Me: NEVER!
"If you turn the lights off with her, you're done." STOP IT.
Let's get the "red light special". 😈😬
After learning about Colonel Violet I believe that she is 17’s mystery wife
That would be quite a twist
Imagine if haski ( or Haskey) was Lauch’s little sister. She was the type to admire blond lauch but hated the blue gentle side of lauch.
While being a criminal she was secretly looking for a way to cure her sister or permanently removed the blue launch from the blond launch.
So food for thought on that one
The worst thing about the underused Female Characters in Dragon Ball is they usually have a big part in the Anime or Manga and then get nothing but a few cameos here and there I mean that's what happened to Launch and Suno
zangya is best waifu
I love this video it's really good you really should do a part 2
We need what If's with these underrated female dragon ball characters.
More love to Snow and Annin please!
I always wanted a female Saiyan (specifically Super Saiyan) way back when i was 14-15 in the early 2000's.
We got some female Super Saiyans now but they are incredibly underused... am i happy we got them finally? Yeah! But... i'm unhappy that they are sidelined as if they are Puar.
Also, i hope HOPE we get to see Android 21 in Super, i prefer as an ally (meaning that she won't be a one and done Saga villian).
The problem is that in the story she hails from, she sacrifices herself to stop her evil side. There really is no way to let Android 21 become an ally of the Dragon Team without retconning or otherwise ignoring the canon of that video game.
Which could be easily done because it is neatly within the Cell and Buu sagas and impacts neither, but it could still be messy creating a reason for Android 21 to stay given she is explicitly shown to be unstoppable and have such a craving for sweets. Those alone make changing Android 21 to be an ally hard.
It would’ve been fun if Suno stuck around after the Red Ribbon Army arc. She seemed unique in comparison to some characters. Being from a different type of place than other characters and having an interesting design (mostly the red hair, which we don’t see in Dragon Ball often). I think she could have been interesting if she was actually developed as a character. I can see her growing up to be a tough as nails person due to living in such a harsh environment. Make her someone who is a hard worker. Provides for her family and does heavy lifting, which could be unique in comparison to other girls in the show.
I’ve always thought that Fortuneteller Baba could’ve done much in the Future Trunks timeline, such as bringing back Gohan to help out, Piccolo/Kali to reactivate the Dragon Balls for a day, or even Goku to be an instant transmission taxi to New Namek or Planet Cereal if we go with New Namek being wasted by Moro in that timeline too
I've been waiting my whole life for Pan and Bulla to grow up and become relevant characters 🥺 still waiting
You gotta know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em. Know when to soak'em in teriyaki sauce. Yajirobe trained like goku
It's interesting how writers like Toriyama will write such compelling female characters and then totally forget about them. I'm reading Solo Leveling now, and the author Chu-Gong does the same, creating several amazing female characters that are fun and interesting to read about...and then gone.
Shout out to Dercori’s fellow U4 warriors Caway and Monna, and U9’s Hop and Sorrel.
THIS GUY GETS IT!!!!
I would love to see Suno (And Eighter) again at somepoint. I always thought it was weird the older androids never got to meet the new ones
Had the biggest crush on 18 growing up.
That's what the internet needs Masako, MORE anime girls to gawk at. What have you done?!!
MasakoX: STOP IT!!
Honestly all the side characters need some love, we need to have a series or movie or manga that focuses more on the other z fighters.
Curious Masako, when's the next Episode dropping?
Ribrianne is unquestionably the most underrated Dragon Ball character.
I honestly thought number 1 would be Videl
Hasky was cool. Had a pretty sharp mind too. The fortune teller bit with Goku is still hilarious. Goku tickling her into submission was an alright alternative to knocking her out.
I had to pause the episode because I was so not expecting Goku to just drop his pants like that.
@@ninjabluefyre3815 Yeah it's a lil shocking the first time you see it. But Goku whips it out more than a few times in OG Dragon Ball.
Amazing list! Forgot some of these ladies, but with so much wasted potential, snd lack of attention in show how could I not? Will give a shout out to filler Lime, and Goku’s friend Snow, more kids, but at least they had mutual friendly interaction with Gohan and Goku respectfully, upon first meetings, as apposed to the strong women the two ended ip with, who came on strong. ( no disrespect for Chichi or Videl!)
I'm surprised princess snake wasn't included! Still great list!
I can't wait for dragon Ball R&r episode 7
I had a big crush on Hasky.
I felt like that about Heles. The character was just drawn so sexy looking.
The only female dragon Ball character that instantly came to mind that you didn't mention in this video was Ranfan the only female participant to make it to the quarter finals of the first world martial arts tournament arc.
Dude! Gave yourself a few what ifs in this but What if Mai destroyed Blacks potara 🤔
They Would've Got More
Never been this early.. usually get masakos videos about over half a day later.
Same but for me its between 3hrs - 1 day later
It's certain British accents that give the portrayal of deviousness, Masako, the upper-class ones being the most prominent. Lower-class accents just give off the illusion of comedy.
Zarbon's was excellent
Here are some of my thoughts on the list you presented. For the most part, we seem to be in total agreement.
1) Hasuki (aka Hasky) -- You had me sold at 'Genius Master Thief'. No arguments about her from me.
2) Annin -- I'm honestly not remembering much about her as a character, but from what you're saying, I do agree. She certainly deserves her place here on this list.
3) Lax -- What was she from again? Right... that boring spin-off that could arguably be considered to have worse writing than Dragonball Super.
4) Colonel Violet -- You don't get to be a commander in an army for being incompetent, and it's safe to say the only reasons that Goku was able to triumph against them, is his plot-armor, and that they had no idea what they were really dealing with.
5) Future Mai -- I have to say, seeing Mai as an adult again was certainly a shout out to the original Dragonball, and now we actually got some real character development for her, rather than her just being one of Pilaf's near-useless henchmen.
6) Durkhere -- Another interesting character with some really interesting abilities. It's a shame she didn't get to shine too much in the ToP, but as you noted, Roshi needing to use the Mafuba to defeat her certainly earns her a spot here for her potential.
7) Baba-Yaga (Fortune Teller Baba) -- Going off her name and abilities, I'm guessing that she was based off the mythical figure known as Baba-Yaga, and she too, played a MAJOR role in the story, but is rarely recognized for it.
8) Cocotte -- One of the few ToP ladies that really had potential to be an interesting character with her unique skill set and abilities. As you mentioned, she certainly has the power to hold her own as a member of Universe 11's Pride Troopers [being able to manipulate space is certainly nothing to take lightly], and I really hope to see more development for her in the future.
9) Yurin -- She belongs here on the list too, and she was, as you said, important to Tenshinhan's character development.
10) Launch -- Couldn't agree more. She belongs here.
Honorable Mentions: Lilly-bo -- Yeah...she belongs here on the list too, along with the rest of the lesser-known ToP ladies that filled out the roster of fighters, each with their own unique talents and abilities. (Exclusions for those who were essentially the 'main characters' on their team).
Unpopular opinion: I never liked Launch. There I said it.
I think uh, ...Yurin, was a missed opportunity. It would have been really cool to see them teach together.
A big shame that old school launch besides the game you mentioned is pretty much gone. I love her double personalities especially when she goes gun-ho.
Would you ever do a list on 10 furry/reptilian characters in dragon ball, not counting the gods, shenron and his familiars. I'm talking about the anthro and reptile combatants that faced goku and the rest of the team. Akira always has a thing for drawing animals, dragons, dinosaurs, machines from primitive to high tech. Heck. Maybe do a top 10 of robots from akira's works rather than just dragon ball.
Heles is my favorite of all design wise. I wish they would use her more.
I know you've brought this up plenty of times, but Future Mai makes no sense. In the Trunks timeline, the Pilaf gang would have had no access to the dragon balls and couldn't have wished to be kids again. So future Mai should be slightly older than Bulma.
Launch is also the first character to have a blonde haired transformation, beating out Goku and the Saiyans with their fancy little Super Saiyan transformation and all.
Zangya is very very very underrated I know she's not cannon but I absolutely love her character
well considering him mentioning a heroes character canon aint an issue
also YES!!!
What does Stop it.. mean
It’s a joke made up by Masako whenever his audience would think of something sexual 😅.
Woah the notifications actually work now??
Hop was a cool character from the Tournament of Power. Would have been neat to see more of her.
13:50, her clothes definitely remind me of Kenshiro, how interesting...
15:07 Masako, What have you done?
Videl shouldve kept being a Fighter alongside Gohan.
Honestly, I would’ve loved to have seen Snow as a rival for to chi chi for Goku’s affection.
Sure it doesn’t make any sense on a surface level or all that much in long term. However, I really think it would’ve been interesting to give some attention to the contrasts that had a fury driven chi chi vs a more genuinely soft and warm nature of Snow (eh? Eh? ;p)
7:52 Oh don't worry, I wil- STOP IT!
But seriously, it's always great to see Dragon Ball females get the respect they deserve and I hope some really rise to the main spotlight (or just a well written one).
So a random theory I had. 17 talked about his unseen wife who had joined MIR (the people protecting Monster Island from Poachers) because of a seemingly great love of animals. What if potentially in offscreen truth, 17's wife is actually Colonel Violet after the Red Ribbon Army arc?
I'm not exactly certain how that would completely work out timeline wise, but it would be kind of ironic and/or kind of poetic for the two to come together or meet at some point. Both basically members of the Red Ribbon Army with no actual interest in their plans with a love for nature and animals and having a sort of confident personality.
Just an interesting idea I'm proposing.
the gals figurine of 18 being shown makes me wish the other characters would get some next(like kale/caulifla,gine,towa,annin,zangya,colonel violet or even ranfan.)
thoughts on the list:
10.launch(bring her back to the anime/manga already she was a big part of why i loved the original as well as budokai/kakarot for remembering her,actually be cool if she showed up in the new movie/was revealed to be 17's wife.)
9.yurin(they could do a lot with her development with tien's school,maybe bring back tao & shen as well.)
8.cocotte(cool ability,design and think the dragonball room should make spinoffs of the universes.)
7.fortuneteller baba(compared to oolong/puar thought she was a good reminder of classic dragonball and would be cool seeing her power be used to bring bardock/gine,raditz or king vegeta.)
6.dokuri(real good showing of not relying on strength/the only universe 4 character i cared for.)
5.future mai(absolutely my favorite part of the future trunks arc,loved her relationship with trunks and was an awesome way of humans standing up for themselves.just wish we fully saw what happened to pilaf and shu and be interesting if we saw her meet her present self's original form.)
4.violet(the only remainder of the red ribbon army who got away scott free and remember people thinking she might be 17's wife due to her love of nature.)
3.lags(though didn't do much was awesome in the way better manga and the only interesting non time breaker original character.)
2.annin(really loved her and think she should be brought back as i remember her episode fondly. a gals figurine of her would be sweet.)
1.hasky(british accents are fun and nice with charisma and hasky could easily be a rival to launch/dirty pair esque team up with violet.)
also i love arale(screw the haters, after misusing trunks/not using eighter in his cameo i loved seeing her come back, reunite with goku & sent vegeta flying using jump ultimate stars/the kochikame crossover logic.).
The man mentioned the glass waifu. he already won my day, which is crazy since I WAS JUST looking up fanart of her and forgot she went toe to toe with Dypso
