Who would you say fits this title most? imo, Vegeta ended up a larger presence in Goku's life than Krillin. - While Goku cares deeply for his friends and family, it's clear there's nothing he loves more than fighting, training, and getting stronger. Vegeta relates to this better than anyone as a fellow Saiyan. - As far as I can tell, Vegeta is pretty much the only person whose strength has consistently stayed more or less competitive with Goku's throughout the series proving to be a valuable ally and worthy adversary. It keeps him relevant to Goku because, let's face it, if you aren't worth much on a battlefield, don't expect to see or hear from Goku very often. - Goku and Vegeta's families seem pretty close. I'm sure Bulma being Goku's oldest friend plays a part in it too but still, it's noticeable how well their families get on: Goku seems about as familiar with Trunks as Vegeta is with his sons, Trunks and Goten are best friends, Bra seemed to be on a familiar basis with Gohan based on the scene in GT where Baby Gohan attacks Vegeta. We don't see the same interaction between Goku and Krillin's family. I guess there'd be some hesitancy to let Goten and Marron play together since he could hurt her without even trying, but did Goku even meet Marron?? Usually you'd expect a person to take great interest in their best friend's child/family but, like I said, Goku can't seem to be bothered if you're not a powerful warrior. - If you take the Dragonball Online timeline as canon (or at even just bits of it as "fanon" like I do), it says in the year 801 A.D. Goku and Vegeta sense their lives are coming to an end soon (Saiyans stay youthful longer than humans but decline rapidly once they hit a certain age according to Akira Toriyama) and run off to space for am epic final battle... the repercussions of which can be felt years later on Earth. That they're content to die together says something. And even if you don't accept DBO as canon, you've gotta admit the scenario is interesting, right? The last two Saiyans going out in a blaze of glory rather than sit around and wait to rapidly deteriorate? An extremely fitting end for both of them. In Krillin's defense, however, he is one of Goku's oldest friends and Goku's "official" best friend. They've been through a lot over the years and even if Krillin couldn't fight by Goku's side, he's always there to back Goku up with moral support. A true friend to the end. Plus, Krillin's death sparked Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation. That definitely counts for something. So what do you think? Krillin? Vegeta? Or perhaps Goku doesn't even truly have a best friend? I think he's more of a loner than many people realize... Edited by arlia, Apr 2 2011, 10:28 AM.

never played dbo, exactly how long did they live? always wondered if vegeta died like the others in heros legacy. I knew goku was still alive but heard he merged with shenron. Guess i should give dbo a try....in the year 801 ad? how is it ad? what year is it now? I know the elder kai told goku he had a thousand years to live, has it been that long already? kinda weird. By the way? chi chi was gokus best friend, thats what a wife is supposed to be. The other guys were just associates and colleagues. and it would literally be impossibly stupid to believe that NO other saiyans werent on planet vegeta when it exploded. They werent homebodies, how could blowing up vegeta kill EVERY SAIYAN when its obvious others survived like tarble on distant conquered planets?, akira was trying to hard for goku to be like superman. The tree of might not fit the storyline but it shouldnt literally mean goku and vegeta were the ONLY ones left. makes no sense, space travelers who conquer planets? hardly anyone would be home.

at that moment, only 4 saiyans were away from home. frieza made sure of that. he planned to destroy planet vegeta, and made certain that the saiyans had as few contracts as possible at that time. and yeah, goku was supposed to live 1,000 years after the buu arc. just goes to show that AT wasn't lying when he said he's forgotten most of db. |

I've never played Dragon Ball Online, so I have no idea with that one. But as for what I know to be cannon, I say Vegeta was Goku's best friend at the end of Z. I think Kuririn was Goku's best friend up until the end of the Cell arc imo. |

it's an mmo made in korea, that's supposed to be the canon continuation of the dragonball story. gt is now officially an alternate universe fanfic. |

I think we're straying away from the topic a bit but it's not like a bad spam thing so :P Uhm, I mean I think Krillin is still his best friend, they've known each other from childhood. Plus he went Super because of Krillins death. As for Vegeta or even Piccolo, as close as he got to both these guys they were always rivals. Piccolo and Vegeta both wanted to kill at some point in time and I think even though all is forgiven and good krillin was never like that. He is his BF still. Goku's power eventually over powers everyone so as brother-like and Vegeta and him were the power struggle thing was more important for Vegeta than it ever was for Goku. After the Namek/Frieza saga he never cared much for Vegeta's battle against him. He was always concerned with the next challenge. For Vegeta, Goku was always his next Challenge. Piccolo became more friend and mentor with Gohan in time than he did with Goku. |

Dragonball Online story. I don't care much about the game itself but some of those details in the timeline are way cool (like Trunks and Goten opening up a dojo). As for how old Goku and Vegeta are by the time this takes place, I think they were in their late 60s to early 70s but it also depends on whether you account for the time Goku spent dead (and therefore not aging) and the time spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Dragonball Online is an online game whose storyline is written by Akira Toriyama and he's said it's a canon continuation of the manga. |

Ahh thanks you two. Like I said, I believe Kururin was Goku's best friend until the end of the Cell arc, then they were so distant due to Goku's death, that when Goku did come back, it wasn't the same bond as before. But I believe that Goku and Vegeta became best friends from the point where Boo was killed and then on, because Vegeta had let go of his hatred for Goku, and let his respect and admiration for him decide where he should stand with him...and I think the friendship of legend was what became of the two. |

Krillin and Vegeta are both his best friends it's just that with most scenario's we see Goku and Vegeta together. Everyone associates the two together as being the mightiest warriors. Im sure you guys have all seen artwork, video's on Youtube and what not. Their Saiyan heritage plays a big part in the relationship. You know you can't really single out one person.

I think Goku and Vegeta's family being closer than Goku and Krillin's family is due to Chi Chi and Bulma getting on more whereas Android 18 is more withdrawn and likes to stay away more. Also Goten and Trunks are very close age-wise whereas Marron is a bit younger and also a girl who doesn't enjoy fighting and stuff. Not saying that's because she's a girl those are 2 separate points. I think Goku and Vegeta got a really strong bond from their fight against Majin Buu, but Krillin still has a lot of exclusive times with Goku too. Let's not forget that Goku was reasonably old by the end of dragon ball z so he only really spent a small fraction of his life with Vegeta as a trusted friend/comrade/companion which was mainly during the fight with Majin Buu/Evil Buu. He spent a huge number of years with Krillin though which he'd probably not forget easily. I think that by the end of dragon ball z he considered them both great friends but honestly I don't know who his best friend was or if he even had 1. He had different relationships with Vegeta and Krillin and different reasons for his friendship with each. They were probably about equal as friends, but Goku maybe just considered Krillin more of a friend because of their childhood times. Edited by TrunksinSwimmingTrunks, Apr 3 2011, 01:25 AM.
