Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball has endured for four decades and remains as popular as ever for a number of reasons, but the anime’s fast-paced action and suspenseful plot twists wouldn’t hit nearly as hard without commendable characters underneath it all. Rivalries are a staple of many battle shonen series and Dragon Ball is certainly no exception. In fact, Dragon Ball’s Goku has developed layered relationships that have followed him his entire life. There are enemies that Goku faces that wind up executed when everything is said and done, but Goku is a protagonist who tries his best to exhibit understanding over admonishment. Even now, when faced with true evil, Goku turns to rehabilitation over retribution. This inspirational attitude means that some of Goku’s greatest allies are former enemies, whether it’s Piccolo, Vegeta, Broly, or even Frieza.However, many Dragon Ball fans overlook Goku’s greatest rival and a character who is still an important player in the Dragon Team’s battles against evil: Tien Shinhan. Tien Shinhan, most commonly referred to as Tien, may not be Dragon Ball’s flashiest character. There’s still a strong case to be made as to why he’s Goku’s most important foil and a rival who represents the full spectrum of change that Goku has experienced since his humble beginnings as a hero.One of the original Dragon Ball’s greatest battles is the final round of the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, where Goku and Tien have their first real fight as enemies. Tien is technically the winner of this match, even though he and Goku view the results to be more of a draw. They even split the prize money between each other. What’s crucial here is that Goku’s defeat by Tien doesn’t result in animosity between these two, but it actually brings them closer together and establishes an eternal bond of respect between the two martial arts experts.
