Looked around and I might be the first person to post these on an English site. Weekly Shonen Jump 1993 #12: This one was released when SS2 Gohan was beating the crap out of Perfect Cell in full color (chapter 411, to be precise): Spoiler: click to toggle 1. Son Gohan (51,921 votes) 2. Son Goku (48,256 votes) 3. Trunks (29,627 votes) 4. Vegeta (17,383 votes) 5. Piccolo (9,454 votes) 6. Klilin (7,438 votes) 7. Mr. Satan (1,892 votes) 8. Cell (1,769 votes) 9. Bulma (1,135 votes) 10. Dende (756 votes) Weekly Shonen Jump 1995 #05/06: This one was released when Bootenks was beating the crap out of Ultimate Gohan in full color (chapter 501, to be precise). It appears much fewer people voted in total: Spoiler: click to toggle 1. Son Goku (10,492 votes) 2. Vegeta (7,019 votes) 3. Trunks (6,537 votes) 4. Gotenks (6,102 votes) 5. Piccolo (5,515 votes) 6. Son Gohan* 7. Son Goten* 8. Yamcha* 9. Freeza* 10. Klilin* *=votes not shown. Edited by Scotty_Rogers, Feb 1 2016, 12:42 PM.

Dafuq? Frieza is in Buu Arc poll? Somethin's fundamentally flawed. Even if he go with anime, TOEI needlessly dragged Buu Arc with fillers & yeah. Frieza was shown in Kid Buu Saga (glimpses of him in abt 4 episodes). But doez that warrant him to make it to the list? Another thing. Gohan was "active" player in Buu Arc, esp when you said Buutenks smashin Ultimate Gohan part. Previously, Gohan smashed Super Buu Goku was a background character for almost 20+ chapters & yet received so many votes. His last "active" moment was when he transformes into SSJ3 & fought Buu. Thats all. And yet... Only Toriyama knowz |

It terms of Freeza, it probably can't be helped. He's left such a significant impact on the series that he simply isn't forgotten. Sometimes it has less to do with relevance and more to do with impact. And nobody can deny he's had nearly the most impact of all characters. It does help that he was shown though. @scottybaker that's too bad. Guess I'll look on my own. Edited by Dankness Lava, Feb 1 2016, 02:19 PM.

It seems Tenshinhan and Yamcha were really unpopular during the Cell Games. Even Dende beat them to the top 10 with just 756 votes. It's also a bit surprising Mr. Satan ranked so high in the 1993 poll (even higher than Cell, the main villain), seeing as he debuted only a few chapters earlier. Odd that he didn't make the top 10 in the 1995 poll.

What happen to Gohan's popularity? Did his Saiyajin arc ruin his popularity? |

Gohan's high school days, Great Saiyaman and fan backlash over Goku dying for what seemed to be for good probably hurt his popularity. These discussion groups/rooms from when the anime/manga was being produced I dug up a while ago show some people complaining over those things, as well as the handling of Gohan in the Boo arc in general: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.arts.anime/oF4TU_7jibg/AB01L6218nkJ

I don't think I've ever seen fans reactions to the series at the time it was running. Where do these come from? |

Wow, look at that, Mr Satan defeated Cell TWICE.
|
Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?! Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power. | |

Discussion groups/chatrooms from the 1990s. Back then, people would post on stuff like BBses and Usenet. Google Groups has a lot of old discussions archived. |
