Hercule

Hercule (Mr. Satan in Japan) is Earth's celebrated World Martial Arts Champion — a boastful, charismatic fighter who takes credit for saving the planet despite being outclassed by true warriors like Goku. He serves as a beloved comic-relief figure and unexpected peacemaker in the Dragon Ball universe.

A beloved face from one of manga's most iconic universes, Hercule makes his Viz catalog debut in Dragon Ball Super #1 (2017), courtesy of the legendary Akira Toriyama and Toyotaro. This Modern Age entry places him squarely in the company of titans like Son Goku, Vegeta IV, and Bulma — a roster that tells you everything about the grand scale of the world he inhabits. With 10 appearances across the Dragon Ball Super run, Hercule may not dominate the page count, but any fan of the franchise knows that when he shows up, the story is richer for it.
