He is brought down almost singlehandedly by Goku, and is killed by Officer Black when he learns the real reason why Red wanted the Dragon Balls. Officer Black himself, while the HypercompetentSidekick to Red, is killed by Goku within minutes of taking command.

However, he doesn't enter the tournament himself, and Tien isn't all that evil. When Tien goes against his master's cheating ways Roshi quickly blasts Shen out of the stadium with a Kamehameha.

Officer Black himself, while the HypercompetentSidekick to Red, is killed by Goku within minutes of taking command.
** Master Shen wants to avenge his brother Mercenary Tao in the 22nd World Martial Tournament, with Tien Shinhan as his DragonInChief. However, he doesn't enter the tournament himself, and Tien isn't all that evil. When Tien goes against his master's cheating ways Roshi quickly blasts Shen out of the stadium with a Kamehameha. He and Tao return for revenge for the 23nd World Martial Tournament, but are utterly outmatched.
* The first ''true'' villain in the series is Demon King Piccolo, the evil expelled side of Kami who led a chaotic rampage centuries ago before being sealed away by Roshi and Shen's master (leading to the latter's StartOfDarkness), Kami creating the titular orbs to create hope in the aftermath. He's freed by Pilaf in the modern day, and uses the Dragon Balls to restore his youth before proceeding to TakeOverTheWorld and engulfing the planet in pandemonium once again.
* After Goku kills King Piccolo, his son/reincarnation Piccolo Daimao strikes out for revenge, challenging Goku during the 23nd World Martial Tournament and serving as the main antagonist and FinalBoss of the final arc.
'''''Manga/DragonBallZ'''''
* The Saiyan Saga has Vegeta, who comes to Earth looking for the Dragon Balls so he can attain immortality and overthrow Frieza. Nappa serves as TheDragon, while Goku's brother Raditz is the opening antagonist who is quickly killed.
* The Namek Saga has Frieza, who rules the Planet Trade Organization and wiped out the rest of the Saiyans. He comes to Planet Namek and begins a genocide of the populace so he can find their planet's Dragon Balls, seeking immortality. He's initially in a BigBadEnsemble with Vegeta but ''far'' [[EvilerThanThou outclasses the prince]], and his fight with Goku is one of the longest in the series.
* The Android Saga has Cell, the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero who time-travels from an alternate future so he can absorb Androids 17 and 18 to achieve perfection. Gero himself, a former member of the Red Ribbon Army seeking revenge, is set up as the monster that will destroy the world by Future Trunks, but proves to be a BigBadWannabe killed by 17 and 18 after he releases them. The two of them, while quickly establishing themselves as legitimate threats and the actual cause of Trunks' time-traveling, are absorbed by Cell to reach his perfect form, Cell subsequently setting up the Cell Games to fight for the fate of the world.
* The Majin Buu Saga has the titular Majin Buu, an EldritchAbomination released by and killing the evil sorcerer Babidi before going on a rampage. Buu's first form, Fat Buu, is ObliviouslyEvil and pulls a HeelFaceTurn with the help of Mister Satan. His next form, Super Buu (created by Fat Buu expelling his evil, which then absorbs him), is a pure {{Sadist}} he absorbs or kills everyone on Earth, and his final form, Kid Buu, is an OmnicidalManiac that tries to kill everything.
'''''Dragon Ball Super ([[Manga/DragonBallSuper manga]] and [[Anime/DragonBallSuper anime]])'''''
* God Of Destruction Beerus Arc (and the movie ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods''): The titular Beerus, a God of Destruction who comes to Earth looking for the Super Saiyan God, and who Goku and Vegeta try to please so he doesn't destroy the Earth. While certainly dangerous, he's not actually evil--it's actually his ''job'' to destroy worlds, and in any event Goku isn't strong enough to beat him if he ''had'' decided to go through with doing so to Earth.
* Golden Frieza Arc (and the movie ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF''): Frieza, having been resurrected by the remnants of his empire with the Dragon Balls and returning for revenge.
* Universe 6 Arc: Champa, Beerus' Universe 6 God of Destruction counterpart and brother, who organizes the tournament with Universe 7. He doesn't fight in the tournament himself, with Hit as his universe's champion.
* Future Trunks Arc: Goku Black, who has destroyed Future Trunks' timeline. However, it's thrown into question if he's actually the mastermind or a puppet for Zamasu, a prodigy Kai with a distaste for mortals. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that Goku Black is the mastermind of "Project: Zero Mortals" and Present Zamasu, having recruited Future Zamasu in a BigBadDuumvirate. The two eventually fuse and become an EldritchAbomination spanning the future multiverse while infecting other timelines.]]
* Universal Survival Arc: The present and future versions of Zeno arrange the tournament between the universes as they fight to be the one that isn't wiped out by the two gods. However, the childlike Zenos are ObliviouslyEvil [[spoiler: and in the anime arranged the tournament as a SecretTestOfCharacter]], so the main antagonist is arguably instead Universe 11's champion Jiren. Jiren himself is the tournament's strongest contestant, outclassing even his universe's God of Destruction, and while he's technically a HeroAntagonist he starts crossing lines when he begins struggling.
* ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'': The movie initially starts with a BigBadDuumvirate between Frieza and Paragus, a Saiyan who wants revenge after King Vegeta banished his incredibly powerful son, Broly. Broly has a huge dose of AdaptationalHeroism and is forced into being TheHeavy, but Paragus loses control of him and can only watch in horror as Broly rampages against Goku and Vegeta while growing more and more unhinged. Broly officially upstages the two after Frieza kills Paragus, unlocking Broly's Super Saiyan form but further maddening him and leading to the Saiyan tossing the tyrant around like a ragdoll.
* Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga: Moro, a powerful wizard who drained life from entire planets and was imprisoned by the Galactic Patrol. Upon escaping he heads to Namek for their Dragon Balls, frees the other Galactic Patrol prisoners, and invades Earth.
'''''Anime/DragonBallGT'''''
* The Black Star Dragon Ball saga has Dr. Myuu, being behind the majority of villains faced in this arc.

* The Shadow Dragon saga has the Shadow Dragons, especially Syn Shenron who later absorbs the Dragon Balls and transforms into Omega Shenron.

* The original series didn't have a villain for a majority of it's run--or, at least, no villains that were actually major threats. Instead, there were a series of {{Big Bad Wannabe}}s:
** Emperor Pilaf is the villain of the first arc, chasing after the Dragon Balls. He's ''incredibly'' pathetic, and while he comes close to killing Goku once and gets his hands on the titular orbs numerous times throughout the series he only gets less and less competent.
** Commander Red of the Red Ribbon Army sees himself as commanding an army that can take over the world, and hunts down the Dragon Balls... so he can become taller. He is brought down almost singlehandedly by Goku, and is killed by Officer Black when he learns the real reason why Red wanted the Dragon Balls. Officer Black himself, while the HypercompetentSidekick to Red, is killed by Goku within minutes of taking command.
** Master Shen wants to avenge his brother Mercenary Tao in the 22nd World Martial Tournament, with Tien Shinhan as his DragonInChief. However, he doesn't enter the tournament himself, and Tien isn't all that evil. When Tien goes against his master's cheating ways Roshi quickly blasts Shen out of the stadium with a Kamehameha.
