Dragon Ball has been around for decades, and by this point, anime fans have figured out who their favorite fighters are. From Goku to Piccolo and even Yamcha, the show has introduced all kinds of warriors. Things can get a bit dicey when Dragon Ball Super fans start debating how certain heroes would fare should they ever battle someone surprising. And thanks to a global poll, we have learned which fighter the Dragon Ball Super fandom favors above all.
Who might it be? Well, it is not Goku or Vegeta. The results of the Dragon Ball Secret Battle Hour have been released, and it turns out the tournament went to Gohan. What a stunner, right?

The update went live not long ago as voting ended for the Dragon Ball tournament’s final. It was there Piccolo squared off against Gohan, and the Saiyan took the win. Now, Dragon Ball Super has announced it will release commemorative artwork of the hero to celebrate, and we all know Piccolo did his best against the hero.
As for the rest of the poll, some Super Saiyan contenders were knocked out early in the vote. Goku took on Vegeta in round two where the former took home the win. Piccolo and Goten were pitted against each other, and obviously, we know the Namekian won. Piccolo went on to win against Goku, and that is how he faced Gohan in the final round.
On the other side, Mr. Satan lost against the Farmer With a Power Level of 5, but they could not defeat Krillin who won against Majin Buu. As for Gohan, he defeated Frieza and Cell in step before taking the whole tournament home. So if you ever doubted the fandom’s love for Gohan, perish the thought. Goku’s oldest son is popular for a reason, and he deserved this win without a doubt.
Clearly, the Dragon Ball franchise has known about Gohan’s sway for some time now. The anime’s most recent feature shifted its focus to Goku’s son, after all. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero dropped last year with Gohan and Piccolo leading the charge. At this point in time, there is no telling what the next Dragon Ball movie will do, but this poll suggests fans want to see Gohan and a lot of him moving forward! Hopefully, the newly announced Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi will do just that…!
