Back when Shueisha and Bandai Namco announced the Dragon Ball the One worldwide character popularity poll on November 20, 2025, they announced there would also be updates after the first days of votes each stage to show what the leaderboards look like. Now that 1st Stage started on the official site, we have a better idea of what the top 80 characters look like so far. As a reminder, this part of the poll does offer 212 people to choose from. As expected, characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, Bulma, Cell, and Frieza placed high very early on. Shockingly, Farmer with a Power Level of 5 is also in the top 20.

The announcement showed all 80 characters in the earliest spots. Anyone after that is after the cut-off and could be eligible for the day-after 24-hour poll that will be held on November 25, 2025. Here is a list of all of the characters currently in the top 25 for the Dragon Ball the One worldwide character popularity poll.
