The very extensive legacy of dragonball Not only has it offered us the chance to take part in tremendous combats with more than 150 heroes and villains from Akira Toriyama’s work, but we can even find up to six different versions (or more) of the same character. Which does not mean that from time to time, a new face arises between games willing to leave their knuckles against the Saiyans. A great way to offer news and variety to fans.
Of course, knowing the origin of these protagonists and antagonists is also part of the experience: beyond the wide variety of characters that exist in the original manga, the animated series, and the feature filmsBandai Namco and Toei Animation itself expanded the list of Goku’s allies, rivals and enemies on consoles, recreational PCs and different video games with colorful, mysterious and -of course- really powerful characters.
Enough that Toriyama’s Saiyans are interested in gauging his strength and the extent of his combat ability. But also, to offer brand new stories custom designed for these characters.
And not only that: many of these have penetrated enough to become common in all playable projects of dragonballcreating a common context through various subsagas, appearing as exceptional guests and even making the leap to animation, as in the case of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime.

Towa and Mira, two of the main antagonists of parallel stories to manga and anime
So, are we talking about exceptional cases? Well, it can be said that Goku has met a lot of people throughout his more than 30 years in video games.
Most of them really powerful and many of them with unique hobbies and purposes. And not only that, his own Akira Toriyama has actively participated in the creation of many of these characters.. Not only defining their look, but also giving them a personality.
In VidaExtra we have selected you 17 Dragon World characters created for video games. Sometimes as the main character and others as the final enemy. Because when the gaming experience is fun, its entry into the canon becomes something completely secondary.
Arale and Android No. 21, two terrifyingly powerful androids created by Toriyama
The criteria: basically that were created for a video game or make their debut in one of them. In addition, we have ruled out character fusions known as karoly (the union of Goku and Broly in Dragon Ball Fusions), the new transformations of already known characters, avatars of the player himself or characters whose role is totally secondary.
Our ultimate goal is to be a really interesting list for fans of games and manganime. We are sure that many of them will sound familiar to you. They may be your favorite characters. But there is also the possibility that you will meet someone new.
