The Stage 2 Dragon Ball the One worldwide character popularity poll results are in, and the top 40 still includes characters like Bulma’s Family Cat and Farmer with a Power Level of 5. The revival battle to pick the single character who will be “saved” and also move on to the top 41 in Stage 3 of the poll was held on social media until 11:59pm JST on December 3, 2025. Stage 3 runs on the official site between December 4-8, 2025, and that will narrow things down to the top 20.
The known top 40 Dragon Ball the One worldwide character popularity poll currently includes expected characters, unexpected ones, and a handful of wildcards like Bulma’s Family Cat, Farmer with a Power Level of 5, and Dolphin. (All three of those have risen higher up the rankings since the original Stage 1 poll.)
