Dragon Ball Characters with the best win-loss ratio

Key things

• Gohan won 52% of his matches due to his reluctance to fight, but against Cell he shined with a new level of power.
• Krillin won 55% of his matches despite being considered weak, proving his ability in early Dragon Ball.
• With a 59% win rate, Goku participated in most of the fights and used the losses to motivate his training for the big battles.

Dragon Ball started as an adventure manga with a focus on martial arts before its focus shifted. Now known to anime fans for its fear-inducing battles, in which warriors risk everything to ensure their world is safe from nefarious evils who love to show off their limitless power.

This leads to many powerful characters in the series enjoying their fair share of combat wins and losses. The heroes either battle adversity before finally securing victory, or intimidate enemies with their monstrous strength before finally making them pay for their evil deeds. Some fighters have won a greater proportion of their fights compared to others, which clearly shows why they are considered to be some of the most effective fighters in Dragon Ball.

Only characters that have participated in fifteen or more battles will be considered.

8 Gohan

He won 52% of his matches

Gohan is a gentle Saiyan who hates fighting, so he either focuses more on his academic skills and sometimes fails to reach a new level of strength against tough enemies. This led to the half-blood Saiyan losing some of his battles because he lacked that killing edge.

However, during the battle with Cell, Gohan was finally able to throw off the chains weighing him down. Reaching a new level of strength, he knocked out the most powerful opponent that reared its ugly head at that moment. It's one of the most epic moments Dragon Ball, and proves how Gohan can reach deep within himself when it counts to defeat the enemies that stand in his way.

7 Krillin

Won 55% of his matches

Most people would be surprised to see Krillin here, given that he's the butt of jokes Dragon Ball as one of the weaker characters in the series. His loss record reached a new level Dragon Ball Zbut fans forget that he has been a part of the series since its inception.

Krillin was competent in the beginning Dragon Ballto the point where he was Goku's rival at one point. Unfortunately, as the Saiyans later dominated the fights, Krillin later became more of an afterthought, having to team up with other powerful fighters to ensure victory.

6 Goku

He won 59% of his matches

The fact that Goku participated in the highest number of fights in Dragon Ball not surprising. He has been in the series since the first volume and has won numerous battles against serious opposition by reaching new levels of power and showing his enemies the true power of a pure Saiyan.

5 Frieza

He won 67% of his matches

Frieza, the bully who destroyed Planet Vegeta and served as a thorn in Vegeta's side for the longest time, is an iconic antagonist who helped Goku achieve his Super Saiyan transformation in one of the biggest moments in the series. He is such a beloved enemy Dragon Ball Super brought him back, with the Emperor becoming stronger after deciding to train.

As a result, Frieza has a decent number of fights under his belt Dragon Ball's run, achieving victory as a villain several times before he is finally subdued. He may be evil to the core, but that doesn't stop him from commanding the viewer's attention whenever he uses his powers to win.

4 Android 17

He won 68% of his matches

Androids are one of the most famous antagonists Dragon Ball history. They destroyed Future Trunks' world and plunged him into the apocalypse, making it clear why he racked up a decent number of wins in the series.

Cell is one of the most famous antagonists of all time. This warrior required Androids to reach his perfect form, displaying a terrifying level of power that left everyone reeling.

Gohan unleashed the insidious Kamehameha and obliterated this villain without leaving any trace of his being.

1 Master Roshi

He won 79% of his matches
