Son Gokuu is a member of the Saiya-jin race. The Saiya-jins are an evil race
whose only desires in life are for blood, death and chaos. The Saiya-jins also
are "planet brokers" they will go to a planet, kill all the life on the planet,
then sell it to a customer. Gokuu was the child sent to eradicate all life on
Earth, but something went wrong. When Gokuu was a young child, his adopted father,
Gohan accidentally dropped Gokuu down a cliff (Gokuu was actually the cause
of the dropping). During this fall, Gokuu hit his head with tremendous force
against the floor of the canyon. This caused Gokuu to forget his "mission" (to
destroy all life) and become a happy, normal child. When Gokuu was born he was
very weak for a Saiya-jin, his power level was only 2. Gokuu went through martial
arts training on Earth and he was about as strong as Piccilo.
Gokuu then died in a fight with his brother (who he did not know about) Radditz.Gokuu wentto Kaio-Sama's (translated as King Kaio, but could also be translated
as Kaio, my darling or Kaio, dearest ^_^) planetoid at the end of Snake Way
in the afterworld where Kaio-Sama trained him and he became extremely strong.
Gokuu is strongest of the Saiya-jins, excluding his son Gohan
and Brolly the legendary super Saiya-jin. Gokuu fights
only for good.
Son Gohan
Gohan is the son of Gokuu and Chichi
and he obviously has the Saiya-Jin blood in him. Gohan (that was Gokuu's grandfather's
name) recieved his first serious martial arts training from Piccilo
through some very tough training which required him to survive by himself in
the wild and fight against Piccilo. This training made
Gohan quite strong and was the first step to revealing Gohan's hidden powers.
Oh yeah, that's right! Did I mention that Gohan has hidden powers yet? Well
he does. When Gohan gets angry, his power level sky-rockets and even when he
hadn't undergone any training, it shot up to 1,400. Once Gohan reaches his adolescent
years, all he has to do is get angry enough, and he can defeat any foe. Gohan
is also a great fan of Piccilo and Gohan is pretty
much Piccilo's only "friend."
Kuririn
Kuririn is a great character. He is extremely funny. Kuririn is not a Saiya-Jin
and he is not powerful enough to be one. He is, however quite strong for a mere
Earthling (in fact, he's the strongest earthling). Kuririn has no nose (for
reasons which are beyond me), which is replaced by six burn marks on his forhead.
Kuririn is also very short. He is a little taller taller than baby-Gohan.
Kuririn is bald as a pinto-ball. As Gokuu puts it quite nicely "Your head looks
like a pinto-ball." Kuririn does not get along with Piccilo
very well, mainly because Piccilo does not like him.
Kuririn is a good friend of Gokuu's. Kuririn wants to
be the worlds first martial artist-singer (*stifled laugh*). When Kuririn sings
it sounds like a washing machine stuck that's trying to finish its load. His
singing is so bad it even got Vegeta to leave
the area. When Gokuu first met Kuririn (in the comic,
when they were both kids) Gokuu was astounded to find
out that Kuririn had the amazing ability to distinguish men from women just
by looking at them ^_^. That is an extremely funny scence.
Piccolo
Piccolo is a cool guy. He is the evil half of Kami and he used to fight with
Gokuu a lot. But once Radditz
arrived on Earth, Piccilo and Gokuu teamed up. In the
end, Piccolo shot a special beam cannon at Radditz, who
couldn't dodge it because Gokuu was holding him. The only
reason that Piccolo fought with Gokuu was because he was
evil. After Piccolo and Gokuu teamed up to defeat Radditz
(and Garlic Jr.) they slowly became more and more of a
team (much like what happened with Vegeta. When the threat
of more Saiya-Jins was present (Nappa and Vegeta)
Piccilo took it upon himself to train Gohan. Piccilo was
the one who really took the first step to revealing Gohan's
hidden powers. Piccilo has also saved Gohan many a time.
Piccilo's special attacks are the Special Beam Cannon, his Extendo-Arm move
and his regeneration.
Bulma
Bulma is Trunks' mother and Vegeta's
wife. She is a genius with mechanics and computers (she was the one that first
figured out the scouters). During Dragonball and the beginning of Dragonball Z,
Bulma had a very strong crush on Yamcha, but she overcame
it and married Vegeta. Bulma is so good with electronics
that she actually made a device which helped Vegeta go to
Super Saiya-jin 4. Bulma has blue hair and his about normal height. She was also
the second character to come into Dragonball. Although Bulma has not actually
fighting strengh, her knowledge of technology makes her a worth ally.
Yamcha
Yamcha is one of the few Earthling warriors in Dragon Ball. He is good friends
with a shape-shifting cat name Puel. When Yamcha first met Gokuu,
they fought because Gokuu would not pay the tax for crossing
the desert which Yamcha "owned" (I think). Anyway, Yamcha was one of the people
who lost his life fighting against Vegeta and Nappa,
but of course he was wished back with the Dragon Balls. Bulma
has a huge crush on Yamcha. Bulma of course, being moody
as she is, sometimes hates Yamcha, but then she always realizes she loves him
in the end. Yamcha has an x-like scar on his left cheek.
Tenshinhan
Tenshinhan or Ten is an Earthling warrior. He is about Gokuu's
height and is pretty muscular. Ten also has 3 eyes. He has two normal eyes,
and then one stranger looking eye on the top of his head. It is kind of triangular.
Ten is good friends with Chaozu. Ten is the developer
of the Solar Flare (at least I think he is). He is about equal in strength with
Yamcha, so Kuririn is still stronger
than him. As far as I know, Tien does not have a girl friend or any other relations.
He does not make many appearences in the DBZ movies.
Bulma
Bulma was the second character (after Gokuu ) to be introduced
into the Dragon Ball Series. She hit Gokuu (and the fish he was carrying) while
drying through the woods searching for the mystical "Dragonballs." Gokuu
had one of these balls and she eventually persauded him to come along with her,
she also noticed that Gokuu was quite strong (he lifted
up her car) and thought that he would make a good body guard. Bulma was in love
with Yamcha and he liked her too. The first time he saw
her he turned completely red and I think he fell over. Bulma also has blue hair
(just a fun fact). Bulma is the mother of Trunks and wife
to Vegeta. She is a genius with all sorts of electronics
alien or domestic and she was the one who fixed Radditz's
broken scouter.
Chi-Chi
Chi-Chi is mother to Gohan and Goten
and wife to Gokuu. She feels very uh... strongly about Gohan's
study and will stop at almost no bounds to get him to continue studying. She even
threatened Gokuu by saying that she would not give him any
food if he did not come to and act politely at a school they were trying to get
Gohan into. Chi-Chi's father is Ox-King
and I don't have the slightest idea who her mother is. I don't think she was ever
mentioned. Chi-Chi also thinks that maritial arts are a waste of time (puzzles
you why she married Gokuu, right?). Chi-Chi is very fond
of Videl and she wants Gohan to marry
her. Chi-Chi is also a little uptight about what Gohan can
have as a pet. She wouldn't let him have the Haiya dragon! ^_^ When Chi-Chi shops
she buys a lot. Gohan suggested it was to relieve stress, but it didn't seem that
way to me! She is also very concerned for Gohan's safety,
but apperntly not that much for Gokuu's.
Goten
Goten is the second son of Gokuu and Chi-Chi
and Gohan�s little brother. He and Trunks
spend most of their time together, and are good friends.Trunks
is a year older than Goten. Goten exibited a high power when he went Super Saiya-jin
at the age of seven. Goten bears a very strong resemblance to Gokuu.
He has the same hair that Gokuu has, he also wears a miniture
version of Gokuu's karate Gi. Goten is usually happy, but
has a specialty for throwing tantrums which get him something he wants. It worked
on Videl.
Trunks
Trunks is the only child of Vegeta and Bulma.
He likes to hang out with Goten and they are kind of like
brothers. Trunks reached Super Saiya-jin when he was eight (I think). When he
and Goten are together, Trunks has a tendency to get them
in trouble. Trunks is also sad that he does not have a brother like Goten
does. I do not know much about Trunks� relationship with his parents. Trunks has
purple hair, and I think he is the only character is Dragon Ball who doesn�t have
strange looking hair. Despite Trunks� ability to get himself and Goten
into trouble, he means well.
Videl
Videl is Gohan�s girlfriend and assistant. Gohan
taught Videl how to fly and fight (although she cannot manipulate energy, she
is more powerful than Mr. Satan). Videl is Gohan�s
assistant while he is the Great Saiyaman, but I don�t know what alias she goes
by. Chi-Chi wants Videl to marry Gohan
and does not hide her intentions. Videl is also in the same high school class
as Gohan From the DBZ movies I�ve seen (all of them) I gather
that Videl is not aware of energy manipulating techniques.
Mr. Satan
Mr. Satan is the most renouned martial artist on earth. He has been given credit
from killing some of the monsters that Gokuu and the Z fighters
have killed and most Earth-people think of him as invincible. Mr. Satan has a
very strange shaped beard-like hair style on his chin, which I don�t think ever
changes. He is usually wearing a red jacket. Mr. Satan is incredibly weak compared
to the Saiya-jins, Kuririn, Yamcha,
Choazu, Piccilo, Tenshinnan, but he
is the strongest human who does not know how to manipulate energy (or so I�ve
gathered). Mr. Satan is also kind of a step-grandfather to Pan-Chan.
Mr. Popo
Mr. Popo is a character who I know little about. I know that he is some kind of
assistant to Kami and that he is a powerful fighter. He wears a white turban with
an oval shaped gem in the center and travels sometimes by means of flying carpet
or teleportation. Mr. Popo has pitch black skin and red lips. He does not look
very much like a human, more like an inflateable balloon in the shape of a human.
Pan-Chan
Pan-Chan is Gokuu's granddaughter. Pan-Chan
is the most powerful female in all of Dragonball. She is also a kind of adopted
granddaughter to Mr. Satan. Pan-Chan makes her first appearence
in the first episode of Dragonball GT. Pan-chan is about 11 or so. She wants to
be an adult and hates being treated like a little kid. For example, despite the
fact that she hates coffee she drinks it because she thinks it makes her look
more adult. She wears a red bandanna. She is 1/4 Saiya-jin, she is Gohan
and Videl's daughter. Pan-Chan's name is actually Pan, but
the chan on it is kind of like saying cute Pan, (it implies that she is young)
but it is used more widely. She does not seem to resent it. Pan-Chan also refuses
to refer to Trunks as Trunks-san (that's
just a basic form of respect for elders), she will only call him Trunks.
Pan-Chan is also very adventurous and can get into trouble a lot (kind of like
chibi Trunks, eh?).
Buu
I don�t really know anything about Buu. I have seen none of the series in which
Buu is in except Dragon Ball GT. In DBGT Bejita shoots an energy ball at Ubuu.
Buu absorbs the energy blast and then explodes harmlessly, giving Ubuu his power.
Ubuu then becomes much stronger than normal. I also know that before Buu was in
Dragon Ball GT, he was bad, he was Majiin Buu. He posses people kind of like bebi.
When he has possesed someone there is a �M� on their forehead.
Vegeta
Vegeta is prince of the Saiya-Jins and one of the most powerful Saiya-Jins. When
vegeta was a young boy he surpassed his father�s power level despite his age.
Vegeta had dreamed of being the most powerful of the Saiya-Jins and being the
legendary Super Saiya-Jin. He knew that there were other, more powerful races,
but he would be the best of all the Saiya-Jins. Vegeta makes his first appearence
with his partner, Nappa. Vegeta comes to Earth with Nappa
and they wreak havoc destroying buildings and killing people. Nappa
also does a number on the Z fighters (who were very weak at the time). Once Gokuu
gets back from Kaio-Sama�s place, he makes short work of Nappa who is then killed
by Vegeta. Vegeta challenges Gokuu after Gokuu
refuses to fight on his side. They fight and it becomes evident that Gokuu
is more powerful, this pisses Vegeta off, and he eventually goes Oozaru and kicks
the crap out of Gokuu (if you are new to Dragon Ball, Gokuu
could not go Oozaru because he had his tail cut off). Eventually, Vegeta becomes
closer and closer to Gokuu�s side. Vegeta is always angry
at not being as strong as Gokuu. Vegeta has married Bulma
and is father to Trunks. Vegeta has always been a recluse
like Piccilo.
The Bad Guys..
Nappa
Nappa was Vegeta�s partner when he came to Earth. Nappa�s
powerlevel was somewhere around 3,000 or so, and he was an Elite class Saiya-Jin.
Nappa was bald, which is very odd, because I have never seen a bald Saiya-Jin
(aside from him). He was very tall and very buff. He had that macho guy look about
him. Nappa was also very dense. He could not remember anything (he was much dumber
than Gokuu is) and that seemed to make Vegeta
angry. Once Gokuu got back from Kaio-Sama�s place, he made short work of Nappa
using the Kaio-Ken attack. Once Nappa was in his unmovable state, Vegeta
killed him (It�s part of that Saiya-jin pride thing). And that was the end of
Nappa.
Freeza
Freeza is a very powerful being. He is the son of King Cold and the brother of
Koola. He was, for a while about to have all the dragonballs.
Freeza�s power level is much less than that of an exhausted super Saiya-jin, but
more powerful than a Saiya--jin who is not in super Saiya-jin form. Freeza killed
Kuririn in Dragonball Z. He was also the one who blew up
planet Vegeta he did literally by lifting his finger. Freeza and Koola
both have tails which are kind of like lizard�s tails. Eventually, after some
fighting with Freeza, Gokuu went super Saiya-jin and destroyed
him. Unlike his brother, Koola, once Freeza bit the dust,
he stayed dead for good. Or not. Freeza's almost dead body is then found by his
father King Cold. He is fitted with mechanical parts, he is then more powerful
than he was previously, but was easily destroyed by Trunks.
Koola
Koola is even more powerful than Freeza, his brother. Koola
is also the son of King Cold. Koola, like Freeza has a tail
bears a strong resemblance to a lizard�s tail. Koola also had the ability to transform.
He cold make himself much more powerful by transforming. Once Gokuu
went super Saiya-jin though, he (koola) was basically out of the fight. The huge
energy ball he threw at Gokuu was repelled and shot back
at him. He then rode his energy ball (against his will of course) into the sun.
But Big Gheti Star (a mircochip which had grown into a large ship, don�t ask)
salvaged him and made him the brain of the ship. After Big Gheti Star had all
his DNA, it could make duplicates of him made entirely out of metal. These �Metal
Koolas� can reproduce any broken part almost instantly. This caused a huge problem
for Gokuu and Vegeta. Eventually, the
metal Koolas rounded up Gokuu and Vegeta
and Big Gheti Star was absobing their super Saiya-jin energy so it could make
millions of metal super Saiya-jins. Gokuu and Vegeta
had too much energy though, and Big Gheti Star/Koola absorbed too much energy
and blew up. It was then gone for good.
Bojack
Bojack is a really strong villian and is not to be taken lightly.
Bojack wears a bandanna and his skin is a blue-green color. He is the main villian
in movie number 9, I think. Bojack hi-jacked a martial arts contest and the end
result was the beating up of all the Z fighters. Gohan was
practially dead, and Bojack was not having any serious difficulty when the laws
of the after-world were broken. Gokuu could not stand seeing
his son being beaten up so badly, so he teleported to Gohan.
The told Gohan to use all of his hidden strength after giving
Bojack a good whack in the face. Gohan then swiftly defeated
Bojack and his subsidiaries. Kaio-Sama, being understanding of what Gokuu
did, said that he was blinking when Gokuu teleported and
could therefore not hold him for any broken rules.
Slug
Slug was the main villan in movie number four. Slug is a Super
Nameck sei-jin. Unlinke Piccilo (who is also a Nameck sei-jin),
his evil side continued to grow while his good side stopped growing. With Piccilo,
the good and evil sides seperated, but with Slug the good side dissapeared and
there was only evil. At the beggining of the movie, Slug is very old, but he sends
out his low-power army guys to go and get the dragonballs using Bulma's
dragon radar (he knew what it was because he could read minds). Once the balls
were collected, he summons Shenlon and he wishes for eternal youth. He then becomes
young and powerful again. His subsidiaries get their asses kicked by Gokuu
(who has become quite strong by this point in time), but Slug is a different case.
He takes a bit of damage but then reveals his true form a giant nameck (he is
about the size of an oozaru). Eventually he is killed by Gokuu
after Piccilo gives Gokuu his power
producing a very strange and powerful ki.
Dr. Willow
Dr. Willow was the main villan of the second Dragonball movie.
He was a genius brain that had been preserved be his loyal cyborg assistant.
He planned to get himself transferred into the strongest body in the world which
he thought was that of Mutenroshi, but over the fifty years he was out of it,
a lot changed. He then held Gokuu (upon recieve information
that Gokuu was the strongest) captive, hoping to be able
to transfer himself into Gokuu's body and become the strongest
being alive. Gokuu eventually escaped his evil traps and
devices, but could not beat him. Dr. Willow was in a mech machine, which was
more powerful than all of the Z fighters combined. Gokuu
eventually killed it with a Genki-Dama (spirit bomb).
Cell
Cell is a very powerful villian from Dragonball Z. He was more
powerul than Gokuu when Gokuu was in
his best health. Cell is one of Dr. Gelo's robots which travelled
back in time from the future. In order to become Perfect Cell, he absorbed number
17 & 18. Cell likes to fight. He even encouraged Gokuu
do eat senzu so they could continue to fight. Eventually Gokuu
got Gohan to fight Cell, but Gohan was
just getting beat up and Cell was just getting angry. After being told that Gohan
had hidden powers that revealed themselves when he got angry, Cell decided to
reveal those powers so he could have a better fight. He made little Cell Jr.'s
which he shot out of some weird tube thing he had on his back, and the Cell Jr.'s,
which were really powerful, beat up on the Z fighters, while Goha
watched in horror. Eventually, Gohan gets angry, goes to
super Saiya-jin two, and kicks the crap out of the Cell Jr.'s and eventually kills
Cell.
Radditz
Radditz is Gokuu's brother. When Radditz
first came to Earth it was the very begginning of Dragonball Z. Radditz had
a power level of about 1,300 or so. He told Gokuu about
his origin with the Saiya-jin's and asked him why he had not completed his mission.
He then kidnapped Gohan and flew somewhere. Gokuu
and Piccilo eventually caught up to him and they fought.
Radditz was apperently stronger than both of them combined until Gohan
intervened. It was at this point when Gohan secret powers
became revealed for the first time (if you don't count the first movie). Gohan
injured Radditz enough for Gokuu to hold him down while
Piccilo shot a deadly Special Beam Cannon through him. Unfortunately the special
beam cannon not only killed Radditz, it went through him and killed Gokuu
too. After Gokuu trained with Kaio-Sama in the afterworld,
he was revived using the dragonballs.
Dr. Gero
Dr. Gelo is a mad scientist. He is very mad at Gokuu (hehe, put
a little pun in there). All the robots who have numbers in their names were created
by Dr. Gero. Dr. Gero's hatred for Gokuu was so strong that when he died, his
hatred was transferred into his robot creating maching and then continuously multiplied.
All of the R & R (red ribbon) characters are Dr. Gero's machine. Cell is one
of Dr. Gero's machines. Dr. Gero himself is no threat, but his genius is so great
that having him against you would mean certain death (unless your are as strong
as Gokuu. ^_^). Dr. Gero was killed by number 18 (or at least I think it was him,
the android with the black hair).
