Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Memes are everywhere and exist for pretty much anything. If there is a cartoon or a TV show you absolutely love, there is going to be dozens of memes uploaded on a variety of sites inspired by that brand. For those who just woke up from a ten-year slumber, a meme is when someone takes a screenshot of a person or scene and adds a caption to (try) and subvert its original meaning. Like any trend, there is a healthy mix of good and terrible examples of this social phenomenon. Few viral obsessions have proven to be as long-lasting and infectious as memes, and it is unlikely there will be a shortage of (un)funny captions in the near future.

The Dragon Ball franchise never really went away. Despite going through a near two-decade period that saw practically no new story content released, re-runs and video-game adaptations ensured Goku and friends continued to remain popular. Dragon Ball Z is probably the most fondly remembered, but the original adventure series is also great. With the exception of Super Saiyan 4, Dragon Ball GT is memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Dragon Ball Super is currently going strong, as the Universal Survival arc continues to deliver high octane action sequences on a weekly basis. Since the announcement and distribution of Battle of Gods, Akira Toriyama’s series has served as inspiration for many online jokers. Here are 25 hilarious memes that will split your sides.

25 Krillin Knows Goku Too Well

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

It could easily be argued that Dragon Ball Z established the common trend of dragging out fights in shōnen anime. Whether that is a good or bad thing depends on the viewer. When your lead character is kind of overpowered, the writers need to find ways to keep them as far away from the action as possible. Otherwise, Goku would show up and wreck the villain’s day almost immediately. While the main three villains of the anime are far from underdogs, most lackeys are thrown in to give the side-characters something to do. What purpose would Krillin serve if Goku is always available? This meme is funny because it is true and a common trope used in Dragon Ball Z.

24 Android Vs Yamcha

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Ah Yamcha, this is not the only time you will be referenced during this list. Few characters provide as much comedic fuel as this once important Dragon Ball hero. As a human who makes Krillin seem threatening, Yamcha went from an important side-character in the original series to a punching bag for the sequels. In Dragon Ball Z, he is mostly used as fodder for the base-form of the villains. Even the Saibamen managed to best good-old Yamcha! The Saibamen!! While this meme picks a low hanging fruit, it is hard to not laugh at the expense of the former desert bandit.

23 Krillin Speaks The Truth

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Krillin, dude, you are stealing the show! From the stylish pin-stripped suit to the bottled beer and that cool as ice expression – the bald one means business. At the very least, Krillin knows his limitations and plans ahead accordingly. Throw in a premium life-insurance, to make sure Android 18 and Marron are taken care off, and this police-officer has all his bases covered. This list is only making us wish for a spin-off series starring Krillin and Yamcha, as they try to out-die each other. Throw in a cameo appearance by One Piece’s Usopp and Toei has comedic gold on their hands.

22 Kanye West And Vegeta

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Very few moments in pop culture history can be described as instantly recognizable, with Kanye West’s infamous moment at the 2009 VMAs being one of them. There are thousands of memes available which use that very picture to deliver a punch line and Dragon Ball Z is hardly an exception. Vegeta’s pride is a fickle beast, with fans constantly using it for comedic value. Just try to imagine this one with the Prince of Saiyan’s powerful voice, which slowly breaks apart after Kanye West’s revelation. On the plus side, Vegeta got the last laugh, as he definitely surpassed Gohan in Dragon Ball Super.

21 Dragon Ball Super’s Rocky Start

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Dragon Ball Super is going strong nowadays, but things were not always so rosy. After Toei made the polarizing decision to re-do Battle of Gods and Resurrection F for the series, fans were treated to around 30 episodes of inconsistent animation and rehashed plot elements. It did make some sense since the events of these two arcs are important for what happens later, but could they not have done a better job of it? This above screenshot is from episode five, which was the first time fans turned on Dragon Ball Z’s follow-up anime. We can laugh now, but it definitely was not funny when it first aired.

20 Vegito Is Still The Greatest

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Who does not love Vegito? It is always a good day when Goku and Vegeta decide to fuse to create their arrogant but loveable alter-ego. Heck, Dragon Ball GT’s Gogeta was also pretty decent. These memes are at their best when the captions actually suit the characters, with Vegito poking fun of Super Buu fitting the bill. The joke is kind of juvenile, but Vegito was the type of hero who could make a line like that work. Taking Goku’s happy go lucky attitude and Vegeta’s pride, Akira Toriyama created a one-liner spewing Saiyan worthy of recognition. Shame there was not more of him.

19 Yamcha Saves Universe 7

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Welcome back Yamcha. The underpowered human has mostly been sidelined for Dragon Ball Super, with only a handful of appearances sprinkled throughout the 100+ episodes. As the Universe 7 team formed a think-tank and considered who to enlist for the Tournament of Power, Yamcha occasionally was shown waiting for an invitation. Unfortunately, that moment never came to pass, so fans can only speculate on how he would have performed at the tournament. The above meme is the type of strategy someone like Death Note’s Light Yagami might have cooked up. Anyway, Krillin survived being in the same arena as Jiren, so Yamcha would have been fine. Maybe.

18 Goku, Vegeta And Super Saiyan 4

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Vegeta is a fan-favorite due to his unrelenting desire to be the best. Kakarot is always one-step ahead of the Saiyan Prince, something the angry anti-hero knows too well. This underdog status helps audiences sympathize with Vegeta, as most people can relate to his frustration of never quite managing to surpass his arch-rival. The Prince’s pride is an easy target, and this meme is one of the funnier ones out there. With Dragon Ball Super, this joke is actually absolute, as Super Saiyan Blue is stronger than any of those forms. Still, Goku continues to remain a step or two ahead of his rival.


17 Gohan’s Eye-Hand Coordination

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

The Great Saiyaman might not be the hero we need, but he is the one we deserve. The Buu Saga got off to a rather weird start, with Gohan heading to University and Super Saiyans popping up all over the place. As things started to wrap up for Dragon Ball Z, Toriyama really seemed to have fun with this one, possibly due to knowing the manga was finally set to end. Gohan went from being the protagonist during the Cell Saga, to somewhat of a joke in the space of 30 odd episodes. Ultimate Gohan had a few cool moments, but otherwise, he failed to leave much of an impact. This meme perfectly encapsulates how Goku’s son tends to be treated, as any positive contribution is followed by an embarrassing mistake.

16 Frieza’s Many Transformations

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Transformations and power-ups are a big part of why Dragon Ball Z is so entertaining. Goku going Super Saiyan 3, Imperfect Cell achieving perfection, Vegeta finally reaching Super Saiyan – all great moments which helped shape the series. Although a case can be made for Cell and Buu, Frieza is arguably the franchise’s most famous villain. After all, there is a reason Toei refuse to let him die. Going through four different forms, the Emperor set the pace for future antagonists. Frieza grew bigger and bigger before slimming down for his final form, a trend repeated by Cell and Majin Buu. If there was a bin-shaped evolution, the other villains might not have followed suit.

15 Android Vs Android 18

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Android 18 is such a cool character and remains a popular choice for cosplayers and fan artists alike. Introduced originally as a villain with her brother, this blonde cyborg quickly developed a relationship with the bald one himself. Krillin is one lucky cartoon dude. This meme could easily work as the opening panel for a handful of riskier Dragon Ball Z inspired comics – which tend to star Android 18 or Bulma – but it is hard to imagine her saying this to anyone other than Krillin. Say what you want about Goku’s childhood friend, he might not be much of a fighter but he’s got game.

14 Liam Neeson Vs Krillin – Only One Winner

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Krillin has the weirdest of luck. After spending the last entry praising him for being a player, the bald human is back to being the punchline. To be fair, there is nothing embarrassing about getting killed by Liam Neeson. By now, the American actor must have Taken out a small army over the course of six hours. The real question is why Mr. Neeson needs to find and kill Krillin. Did he steal his daughter? Doubtful, unless she just could not resist his swagger. You know what, we need a sequel to this meme! It cannot be any worse than Taken 2 & 3. Weeeeeeeelllll…. Maybe they could be — you know never know with things these days.

13 Who Has Not Pretend To Be A Super Saiyan?

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

At its heart, Dragon Ball is a power fantasy. Who has not imagined themselves going Super Saiyan? Maybe after a good workout or a particularly tasty portion of steak. This meme might not show Vegeta going gold, but its practically the same thing. Considering most games require a fair amount of work and time to achieve that coveted completionist trophy; when it finally happens, the feeling is almost euphoric. Also, Vegeta needs to star in his own action franchise – Die Hard Kakarot. There’s always room for more Vegeta in every situtation.

12 Goku Tries His Hand At Parenting

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Nobody ever accused Goku of being a good parent, but there is a first time for everything. Despite barely being able to control his newly discovered Super Saiyan form, Kakarot’s paternal instincts kicked in the second Frieza threatened Gohan. Parents might dream of breaking the hand of anyone who might hurt their child, but Goku was in a position to act out that fantasy. Anyway, if the worst were to happen and Gohan died, there would be no point in Goku returning to Earth, as Chi-Chi would have him for dinner. Honestly, this might just have been self-preservation. Goku is still nice to a fault.

11 Yamcha Tries To Help Out

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Okay, Yamcha, we promise this is the last one. You got to give the guy props, as he rarely backs down from a fight during Dragon Ball Z. Knowing full well his strength could not begin to compare to the Androids, the former bandit continuously put himself in danger for mankind’s sake. Depending on your perspective, Yamcha is either the bravest warrior in Dragon Ball history or the dumbest. At the same time, Goku’s frustration is easy to understand, as the team spends half their free-time trying to summon Shenron to bring Yamcha back to life. Why not use a wish to make him stronger or immortal? It still might not help…

10 Google Does Not Lie

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

This probably is a rather old meme, as the general opinion on Goku has shifted in recent years. Writing “Why Goku Is” on Google still returns the Naruto and Superman entries, but the third option is “Why Goku Is The Worst Father.” Not to take anything away from the Saiyan, as Kakarot is a huge part of many childhoods and continues to be adored until today. The English Dubbed version of Dragon Ball Z portrayed Goku as a slightly more heroic character than the original, so fans were surprised when Dragon Ball Super’s protagonist prioritized fighting over saving the day. Goku is still awesome, but just in a different way.

9 Those Are Some Powerful Genes

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Dragon Ball Z is often described as the Goku show. Looking at the above picture, a more accurate description would be the Son-family show, as Gohan and Bardock are no slouches. While Goku’s father is not much of a force in the anime, Bardock often shows up in video-games. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 even included a Super Saiyan 3 transformation for old man Son. Although they share similar fighting styles, all three Saiyans exhibit opposing personality traits. Bardock actually seems to care about his family and prioritizes teamwork, characteristics rarely shown by his son. Honestly, Gohan has more in common with his grandfather than Goku.

8 Goku Vs One Punch Man’s Saitama

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

A quick search on YouTube returns more than a few videos debating on who is the strongest anime hero. One Piece’s Luffy and Naruto are capable enough, but they do not measure up to the likes of Goku and One Punch Man’s Saitama. Comparing the two is kind of pointless since the hero for fun is a parody of a shōnen protagonist. Saitama’s whole gimmick is that a single punch is strong enough to take anyone out, which would include the likes of Goku. The Saiyan would easily be the hardest opponent the B-Class hero has ever fought, but the result is inevitable. Sorry Kakarot, but this comes across as nothing more than bravado.

7 Trunks, You Are Worth It

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

There are dozens of reasons why Future Trunks is one of the most beloved characters in the Dragon Ball canon. Hailing from an alternate reality where Goku fell prey to an illness and the Androids killed everyone, Vegeta’s son is constantly put through the ringer. His never say die attitude and memorable character design helped set him apart from the rest of the cast, as he is the only one to fight with a weapon. Now, it is time to discuss Trunk’s hair. Whether it happens to be purple or blue, the time-traveling Saiyan never fails to look fabulous. After being put through heck by Android 17 & 18 and coming out stronger than ever, Trunks has earned a bit of praise.

6 Yamcha’s Greatest Rival

Dragon Ball 25 Hilarious Memes That Will Split Your Sides

Our apologies for this Yamcha, but there are too many great memes to not include another one. For those who started from Dragon Ball Z, the original series focused primarily on Goku, Krillin, Bulma, and Yamcha. The latter actually played an important role throughout the story and was not considered a joke. Sure, he was the weakest of the three fighters, but Yamcha brought a human touch to the group. With Bulma, he was the only relatively normal person in the entire cast. The woman-shy warrior might struggle against powerful galactic enemies, but he has a good heart and holds his own against animals lower down in the food chain.
