Goku
Goku didn’t just star in Dragon Ball — he helped introduce the entire world to anime. The Saiyan warrior became a global icon through Dragon Ball Z, turning power-ups, transformations, and impossible fights into the DNA of modern anime storytelling.
But critics say Goku’s character depth doesn’t match Western animation icons like Homer Simpson or Bugs Bunny. If your entire personality revolves around fighting stronger opponents, can you really be the GOAT of cartoon characters?
That question fuels one of the biggest debates online: Goku vs SpongeBob — anime legend or internet icon?
