Goku's Tendency to Make Friends from Enemies

This is a recurring theme that has always existed in Dragon Ball. It seems like almost every character he meets he has a sort of rivalry with before becoming friends with them. Here's a list of prominent characters he became friends with after having a rivalry with them:

Yamcha
Krillin
Tenshinhan
Piccolo
Vegeta
Beerus

Is there anyone else?

Also, what do you think of this recurring theme? Is it a cool trait of Goku's?

You missed Buu.

Awkward when you think Toriyama is notoriously trolled for his gag mangaka status & making up stories along the way YET, he had subtlety when making Goku "gain allies" from badass villains further progressing himself in a selfish way

In fact, I bet he would've done the same to Frieza, Cell, Baby, Omega Shenron with appropriate timing & reasons

Another reason why Goku has cemented his demigod status in Anime

Yeah, Boo is another one although he's more of an ally to Satan. I guess it counts though since they are both part of Zet-Senshi.

And I suppose I can agree with you. I think AT made BoG with the clear intent to show that Goku can make friends with anyone, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a good thing.

For a lot of them it was simply a matter of having to fight a common enemy.

With Yamcha it was Pilaf
With Piccolo it was Raditz
With Vegeta it was Freeza


Others like Tien and Boo weren't changed by Goku, but by Roshi and Mr Satan respectively.

According to Roshi, Goku had played a part I'm Tien's change to go a righteous martial arts path, Roshi just gave him the words while Goku gave him the action. Buu I agree with you on.

I think it's stupid and overdone at this point. It became stale after Vegeta.

With Veggie, it was pure magic

Since I started out with Z, pretty much knew Piccolo was on good guys side

So watchin him duking out with Goku at EoDB & eventually Goku allowing him to live was something I expected

Veggie on other hand was 'nother level MFker. Almost on equal plane with Demon King Daimou (Piccolo Sr)

The dude was absolute maniac. Wrecked havoc & brought pain like no one else prior or after him did. Not to mention being the game-changer of sort altering entire landscape of DB from being regular DB-chasing masquarade into an universal scale terrorism

Hell, it took 4X Kaioken Powered KHH, Spirit Bomb, Katana hack AND Oozaru Gohan JUST to either block or avoid being crushed by Veggie at least momentarily

Dafuq? Randomly invade Earth, wipe out its civilians & its defenders, steal their DB's, wipe out their goddamn planet. Chiao!!!

Is that it?

And the worst part is allowing such bloodthirsty Saiyan survive to......have.....a.....fight....

Whatever it may be. At least with Yamcha, Tien, Yajirobe, Piccolo & Buu I understand the reasons behind them

But with Veggie, it was unbelievably moronic & at that point of time, I felt it was a shocker
