DragonballZ Biography
(Only) Super Saiyan Biography's
Name: Goku
Goku is the main character in the Dragon Ball/Z/Gt series. The Dragonball series
started out with Goku as a child of age 12. Once he grew up and his Gohan was born, the TV
series' name changed to Dragonball Z. At the end of the series, Goku was probably
45 years old. Goku is a Saiyan who was born in a planet called Vegeta. He was sent to
Earth in a space pod right after he was born so he could conquer the planet. However, he
hit his head and lost his ''mission'' thus becoming the kinder, gentler Goku we see in the
series. Goku was raised as a human on Earth, and did not learn of his true powers until
his brother Raditzs came to Earth. Later, when Goku became stronger and experienced,
his rage was awakened by seeing the death of his friend Krillin on the planet Namek by
Frieza. His Super Saiyan power was awakened and when he goes Super-Saiyan his eyes turn
green and his hair gold. Currently, Goku can go to the 4rd stage of his Super-Saiyan
power. One of his moves are the Kamehameha.
Name: Gohan
Gohan is Goku's first son. At the end of the series he was 26 years old. For a short
while after the second time Goku died in the series, Gohan became the main character.
Gohan is the most powerful non-fused character in the DBZ series, but lacks the love of
fighting his father has and thus rarely uses his full strength.Gohan is a very
good-natured boy and unlike his father, he hates fighting, although for a while he was
more powerful than Goku. He is very polite towards just about everyone except to his
enemies, and when he's mad. Gohan is very bright and studies very hard, although this is
somewhat due to the wishes of his very strict mother.Gohan is the first character in the
series to have gone Super Saiyan 2, during the Cell Series; the power of his anger was
kindled by watching his friends get beaten up, and the death of Artificial Human #16 sent
him very pissed. It was roughly at this time that the series switched main characters from
Goku to Gohan.
Name: Vegeta
Vegeta is the "bad guy among the good guys." He first made his appearance
back when Gohan was 4. Although he fights alongside the other Z fighters, he is still
decidedly evil. As the prince of the Saiyans, he is very proud, has a huge ego, and is
constantly trying to prove that he is the best fighter in the universe. Vegeta has a
continual rivalry with Goku, or "Kakarott," (Goku's Saiyan name) and is obsessed
with beating him in combat just to show that he is the stronger. This obsession with
trying to be stronger than Goku proves to be a fairly large weakness as well. Despite his
efforts to show.Otherwise, Vegeta has changed and has developed a conscience, and deep
down cares about his friends. He is also somewhat emotional at heart. He demonstrates this
when dealing with his son Trunks, most notably just before he died trying to kill
Majin-Buu. Although he pretends to hate Goku with a passion in reality he respects his
power and maybe even likes him a bit.
Name: Future Trunks
Trunks is Vegeta's son. In his future, all of the Z fighters were killed
by the Artificial Humans, except for Goku, who died of heart disease. Trunks travels 20
years back in time to give medicine to Goku so he can survive this disease and defeat the
Artificial Humans. Trunks' returning in time alters the past in other ways which can be
seen later. After giving the medicine to Goku, Trunks goes back to his own time, but
returns again three years later to help the Z fighters battle the Artificial humans.
During this time, he becomes extremely powerful and surpasses every other one of the Z
fighters except for Gohan and Goku. Future Trunks and the current Trunks are
radically different characters. Future Trunks is very polite like Gohan and has very
strong values, but the current Trunks has a bad attitude and is somewhat like
his father. Trunks never truly reaches the power level of his future counterpart; possibly
because he lived through mostly peaceful times, whereas Future Trunks did not.
Goten
align="center">Goten is Goku's second son, and a dead ringer for Goku when
he was a little kid. At the end of the series, Goten was 17 and looked nothing like Goku
though. Goten is very powerful for someone his age, although he is a little bit naive like
his father. He can fuse with Trunks to become Gotenks, one of the most powerful characters
in the series.
Name: Trunks
Trunks is Vegeta's son. As I told you, he is very different than Future
Trunks. He has a bad attitude and fuses up with Goten making Gotenks. Trunks is sometimes
naive and always gets in trouble. At the end of the series he was probably 18 because he
looks a little older than Goten.
Name: Gotenks
Using the Fusion, Goten and Trunks can fuse into Gotenks. Gotenks is very powerful,
second only to Gohan and Gogeta or Veggetto, and also is the only character other than
Goku that can change to Super Saiyan 3. However, he has a huge ego which gets him in
trouble. Gotenks is often used as comic relief as well.
Name: Gogeta
Name : Vegetto
When Goku and Vegeta fuse, they become Gogeta, the most powerful character in the DBZ
world. But in one of the Majin Buu episodes, they have a thing called a Potara earring and
if one person puts it on and the other does, they fuse. So to save Gohan from Buu, Vegeta
and Goku fuse by the earrings. When they fuse by the earrings they are called Vegetto!
Also like Gotenks, Vegetto or Gogeta has a huge ego. So Gogeta is when Goku and Vegeta
fuse using the fusion dance and Vegetto is when they are fused by the Potara earrings.
Earth's Special Forces Biography
Name: Piccolo
Piccolo is Goku's old rival. He was born after Goku killed his father when he was a
kid; in his last breath the old Piccolo spat out an egg, and the new Piccolo hatched.
Piccolo then went on to fight Goku in the final round of the Tenkaichi-Budokai, which he
subsequently lost by a very close margin. Piccolo is a native of the planet Nameck,
although he doesn't learn this for quite some time after his first appearance. As a
Nameck, he can regenerate almost any part of his body lost. He can also extend the range
of his arms till they're really long. Later, he goes to Nameck to help Krillin, Goku,
Gohan, and Vegeta to fight Frieza. After the Tenkaichi-Budokai, Piccolo becomes more and
more of a "good guy." Eventually he becomes Goku's friend.Once one of the most
powerful characters in the series, he has sort of reached a "middle ground,"
neither weak nor strong among the fighters.
Name: Pan
Pan is Gohan and Veedel's daughter. She first appears in the last two
installments of the manga before it ended.(DragonballGT) Needless to say, we never get to
learn a lot about her before the series ends. She looks just like Veedel did at 16, just a
lot smaller. She's pretty tough in a fight for her age and size, and certainly has the
potential to become fairly strong. She is about 14 years old.
Name: Krillin
Krillin is Goku's best friend, and has been around since the first
series. He is a fighting monk who leaves his temple to find and train with Master Roshi.
He is kind of short, has no nose and throughout most of the series. Krillin trained with
Goku under Master Roshi and afterwards shared many adventures with him. Krillin has died
more times than anyone else in the series. He is one of the weaker fighters, but this is
partially due to his low self-confidence. Nevertheless, he has gotten fairly powerful due
to all his fights with the really powerful enemies. Krillin eventually grows his hair back
and marries #18. They have a daughter named Marron.
Name: Tien
Tien is a 3-eyed man who was a student of Master Roshii's rival
Tsurusennin, from whom he learned a lot of interesting techniques. He can communicate
telepathically with his best friend Chaozu, and his master Tsurusennin. Originally he
trained to be an assassin, but eventually realized that being one was not what he wanted.
He beat Goku to win the 2nd Tenkaichi-Budokai, and was fairly powerful during the first
series, second only to Goku. Recently, though, he has taken a subordinate role in the
series like Yamcha. Next to Yamcha, he is probably the weakest Z fighter.
Name: Yamcha
One of the first characters to appear in the series, Yamcha was
originally Goku's enemy, but soon became friends with him. Yamcha is characterized by a
constantly changing hairstyle and an intense fear of women. (at least at the beginning) He
was some what of an important character during the first series but less so in the second,
being the weakest of all the Z fighters.
Name: Tapion
Tapion is a hero who has been locked in a music box. When he gets out, a
monster trys to get him but he can stop the monster getting him by playing his ocarina. In
the end he leaves and goes back in time. Before he leaves, he gives his sword to Trunks.
That's when Trunks gets his sword and uses it in battle.( At least Future Trunks does.)
Name: Uub
Uub is a polite little kid with a mohawk hair. He is another character who doesn't
appear until the very end of the series. Actually, he is the reincarnation of Original
Buu. (Uub=Buu backwards) He is very powerful for a human his age. At the end of the
DragonballZ series, Uub goes back to his home town with Goku, who is going to train him.
He meets up with the rest of the gangs later in one of the episodes in DragonballGT.
Name: Chaozu
A small, pastel-white floating child, and friend of Tien. Like Tien,
Chaozu is a student of Tsurusennin, and competed in the second Tenkaichi-Budokai in the
series. Chaozu is a fairly good fighter, but is not very good at math; this proves to be
his weakness. He is tied with Krillin for the most number of deaths in the series.
Name: Mr. Buu
Majin Buu was one of the strongest villians in the Dragon Ball/Dragon
Ball Z universe, but he eventually became a good guy. He has gone through more different
forms than Freezer and Cell combined. The first Buu is fat Buu, a fat, round pink man with
a cape and the mind of a baby, but is very strong.( The only Buu who is good.) When he got
really angry, the smoke that came out of his head and changed into Skinny Buu. Fat Buu
(who became a good guy around this point) tried to change him into a chocolate, but Skinny
Buu blew the blast back at him. Fat Buu turned into a chocolate, Skinny Buu ate him, and
turned into Majin Buu.
Name: Android 18#
These two Artifical Humans were also created by Dr. Gero to kill Goku.
They are twin brother and sister, #17 being a man with long black hair, and #18 being a
girl with blond hair. In Trunks' future, they are both very much "bad guys,"
having wiped out most of the population of Earth. However during the altered timeline they
are less destructive, focusing just on killing Goku. They end up joining the Z fighters to
fight Cell, as Cell wanted to absorb both of them. Cell absorbed both, which was the last
time we ever see or hear of #17 until the very end of the manga series, but Cell
eventually spits out #18. Later on after Cell is killed, #18 marries Krillin. They have a
daughter named Marron.
Main Bad Guys Biography
Name: Cell
Cell is Dr. Gero's "Ultimate Artificial Human." He is
completely organic, made up of the cells of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Freeza, all
collected during their various battles on Earth by a spy robot. He has a long tail with
which he can absorb humans and take their energy. If he absorbs #17 or #18, then he
changes his shape and gets a huge power up. If he manages to absorb both, then he goes
"Kanzentai," his perfect form. He manages to do this and becomes so powerful
that none of the Z fighters can come even close. Cell is in many ways very similar to
Goku, in that he lives to fight strong opponents. Hoping to have a fun battle, he holds
the "Cell Game," a tournament like the Tenkaichi-Budokai. He says that if nobody
can beat him in a one-on-one fight, he will destroy the Earth. Goku tries to beat Cell but
could not, so he makes Gohan fight him instead. Gohan manages to kill Cell, but not before
Cell kills Goku.
Name: Freeza
Freeza is probably one of the three most important villains during all
of the DBZ series; he was the major bad guy for nearly eight manga volumes and roughly 40
TV episodes, and the actual fight against Freezer was the longest, most drawn-out battle
in the entire series. Freezer is an alien bent on controlling the entire universe, and
wanted to make himself immortal using the Nameck Dragon Balls. He is also the leader of a
large fighting squadron. Freeza has the ability to transform himself three times with each
form more powerful than the last. After his final transformation, he killed Dende and
Vegeta before Goku could come and fight him. Goku apparently killed him with a Genki-Dama,
but he survived and killed Krillin, upon which Goku went Super Saiyan for the first time.
Again, Goku apparently killed Freeza, but he managed to survive to come back to Earth as a
half-cyborg one year later. However, when Freeza came to Earth, Future Trunks made his
first appearance and finished him off for good.
Name: Majin Buu
Majin Buu is the most powerful bad guy in all of DBZ. He looks like Fat
Buu without the cape and the fat. He is very evil. He kills every person on the planet
except for Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Satan, Tien, and Chaozu. He can change his
form by absorbing people and can adopt their powers. He absorbes Gotenks, Piccolo, and
Gohan this way. Eventually he gets all the people he ever absorbed pulled out of him and
turns into Fat Buu, who looks like a child version of Majin Buu. Majin Buu is Mr. Buu and
Skinny Buu put together.When Skinny Buu ate Mr.Buu, they turned into Majin Buu.
Name: Broli
Broli is a Super Saiyan who was one of the 5 special people to escape
from planet Vegeta.( Goku, Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz and Broli.) He is known as the legendary
Super Saiyan. He only appeared 3 times but was a big threat to the Z fighters. Broli's
father is Paragus, a father who survived the explosion on planet Vegeta. He took care of
Broli until he realized that he is much stronger than his father and killed him.
Name: Radditz
Radditz is the first villain to appear in the second series. He is Goku's older
brother, and traveled to Earth to see whether or not his brother Kakarott had conquered
the planet. Upon learning of Goku's "mission," Radditz demanded that Goku kill
100 Earthlings and show the bodies to him, or else he would kill Gohan, who was only 4 at
the time. Goku and Piccolo chased after him, and after a battle, managed to kill him.
However, Goku sacrificed himself by holding Radditz in place while Piccolo could attack,
and was killed in the same blow.
Name: Janeba
Janeba is a bad guy who escapes from Hell in one of the movies. He
gathers the Dragonballs and makes a wish that all the bad guys who died will come back to
life. So all the bad guys come back but gets easily defeated by the gang. Then Janeba dies
by Vegeta and Goku who fused up to become Gogeta the first time! He isn't much of a famous
bad guy but made Goku and Vegeta to fuse for the first time.
Names: Pilaf, Shuu and Mai.
These are the first set of villains presented in the Dragonball world.
Pilaf is a small blue imp determined to rule the world. Shuu and Mai are his underlings.
Shuu is an anthropomorphic animal in a ninja costume, and Mai is a woman with long black
hair. None of them pose any direct physical danger to the good guys, (although they once
imprisoned them in a death trap and later released the old Piccolo.) and are very comic
characters in general. In one of Dragonball GT's episodes, Pilaf was the one to wish Goku
back in a kid.
Name: Bebi
Bebi is a little alien who goes into bodies and controls them like
Vegeta. He is one of the most strongest bad guy there is. He is so strong that Goku turned
super saiyan 4 for the first time by him! He appears in DragonballGT and dies with
Vegeta.( Bebi was in Vegeta.)
