Most Ruthless DBZ Hero?

I used to think that the most ruthless hero in DBZ was Vegeta, but I'm not so sure about that anymore...

I've recently begun to believe that it's Gohan. Here are my reasons why. You can agree with me or disagree with me, but whatever you say probably isn't going to change my mind. I have been thinking about this for a long while now.

Gohan isn't a fighter like the others, obviously. He says it, Piccolo says it, and Goku finally admits it in the end. Gohan isn't the same as the others. He doesn't like to hurt people unless he absolutely has to, and his fury is only triggered when someone he cares about is in danger. When a villain (Frieza, Cell, Buu) pushes him past his breaking point (harming a friend), he completely loses his mind. He goes into an entirely new state, and his anger is uncontrollable.

1) Gohan's uncontrollable anger is first shown when Goku is being tortured by Raditz. When Gohan attacks Raditz, he is no longer the same frightened little boy he was moments before. He is an entirely new person.
2) When Krillin is tortured and "killed" by Frieza, Gohan loses it. He attacks Frieza in a blind fury, blasting him until he believes him to be dead.
3) The most obvious example is Gohan's SSJ2 transformation. He only reaches the peak of his power when his friends are in danger and #16 is ruthlessly murdered by Cell. Once his fury is triggered, he completely transforms (not only to SSJ2, but to a completely different person). He becomes a monster, savagely killing the Cell Juniors. He even goes so far as to continue fighting Cell just to torture him even though Cell has clearly lost the will to fight and is afraid of him. Remember: even Goku never acted this way. He gave all of his enemies a chance to live when they were beaten.

There are other examples that I've left out, but I pointed out the most obvious ones. If you're still wondering why I believe that Gohan is the most ruthless character (perhaps you're wondering why I think he's even more savage than Vegeta?) then take a look at these:

http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz199/broken-lullaby/11.jpg
http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz199/broken-lullaby/111.jpg

You never see any other character murder anyone in this manner, in such numbers, and in such a blind fury.

Here's an example as to why I think Gohan even scares Vegeta:

http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz199/broken-lullaby/11111.jpg

The only thing that stops Gohan is Goku's death. After that, he resorts back to his normal self.

And so I came to the conclusion that Gohan is definitely the most ruthless hero in DBZ. I'm not going to say most ruthless character, because I'm pretty sure Frieza tops him. Dispute my claim all you will. I have more evidence to fall back on, but for the sake of keeping this topic at a reasonable length, I think I'll stop for now. /End rant.

That depends on how you define ruthless...

Ruthless: without pity or compassion; cruel; merciless; brutal.

When Gohan's anger is triggered, he becomes ruthless.

You make some good points, but I still think it's Vegeta.

I don't know I think it's still Vegeta. He has no compassion for his opponents, I mean the guy killed baby Namekiens and he didn't have to do that, all he had to do was get the Dragon Balls and leave, but nope, he killed them all anyways. I think I put Gohan second, until I see him doing what Vegeta has done.

Good point, but I didn't really count Vegeta until after the Frieza saga because he wasn't a hero at that point. Heck, he wasn't even really a hero in the Cell saga, but I went ahead and included him.

I do have an argument, though. Vegeta never went into a blind rage like Gohan. His anger was never "triggered." It was always there. So while he fought, he was always himself - he could always think clearly. Gohan, however, could not. There is no telling what he might have done had he been angry enough, because I don't really believe that he was the same person once his anger was triggered.

Vegeta was merciless, sure, but I don't think that he was necessarily the cold-blooded killer that Gohan was when he was angry. Vegeta showed no mercy because he felt that it was how Saiyans should be. He felt that he had the need to prove himself, and he believed that killing was necessary. Gohan, on the other hand, killed because he was angry and wanted anyone who hurt his friends to suffer. I don't think that Vegeta ever really wanted his victims to suffer like Gohan did. He just wanted them dead.

EDIT: In response to your comment about Vegeta killing the Namekians, you make a good point. I think that when Vegeta killed them he was trying to prove himself. He was trying to prove to Frieza and his minions that he was just as strong as they were, and that he wasn't afraid to take them on. Basically, it was an act of trying to seem high and mighty rather than making the Namekians suffer.

Even in the Buu saga though, Vegeta killed hundreds of people when he turned Majin, and we all know all that did was give him more power. The second blast was even close to where Bulma was, imagine if it would have hit her. But he didn't care at that point. I mean if Vegeta did all those things being normal, imagine him in rage lol

Vegeta did have some compassion; he let Cell absorb Android #18 when he could have just killed him instead.

I knew that you were gonna throw that one at me! Haha!

I agree that what Vegeta did was pretty bad, but he didn't really mean to hurt anyone. You could argue that he wasn't in his right mind and that Babidi was possibly the cause of it. Or perhaps his Majin power was influencing him in some way. I just can't see post-Cell arc Vegeta doing something like that. I'm sure that if he had accidentally killed Bulma, he would have been devastated, and he felt horrible for killing the people afterwards. He made sure that they were all wished back.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Gohan had no reason to "make Cell suffer." He even had his own father screaming at him, telling him to stop, and he tried go through with it anyway for no reason other than self-satisfaction. No one was controlling his mind, so there's no argument there.

Ehhh. Who knows. :p

Well if you defined ruthless with, "without pity or compassion; cruel; merciless; brutal" then that's your answer lol. Even if you might think Vegeta didn't mean to, the guy still killed those people, "without pity or compassion" and it was, "cruel; merciless; brutal" Gohan wouldn't have done that, I think even if he lost control he would still know not to hurt anyone else. How about Oozaru, now he's ruthless lol.

I don't class Majin Vegeta (when he was first possessed) as a hero. He did eventually change back, but he was trying to be a villain again. He wanted to get rid of his attachments and life on earth so he could go back to what he was.

It was still him though, Babidi was never in control so it was all Vegeta.

I'd say Vegeta but I don't class him as a hero until the Kid Buu saga where he doesn't get a chance to show his ruthlessness.

I'll have to say Gohan in rage boost otherwise I don't think there's any hero that's truly ruthless.
