Trunks
is the son of Bulma and Vegeta. Half Saiyan and half human, just like
Gohan and Goten. Trunks was surrounded by a scientific enviroment. Having
his mother and grandfather as scientists, Trunks became very intelligent
at science. In the future, Trunks and Goten were battling the androids,
but they were too strong, Bulma had completed a time machine and sent
Trunks back to help Gokou and Gohan fight. This is the story of Mirai
(Future) Trunks, who is pictured right. Anotherversion of Trunks is the
small child version, Chibi Trunks. In most of the Dragonball Z series,
Trunks and Goten fight side by side and they are in the Broly story and
the "Fusion Form:Gokou and Vegeta" movie as well. They are in
others too. Trunks is famous for killing Freiza by slicing him in half.
This was Trunks' first appearance on the show. Of course, he is one of my
favorite characters on the show. He was also one of the stars in the third
and final dragonball series, Dragonball GT. Dragonball GT was about the
journey around space that Trunks, Gokou, and Pan had traveled in search of
the Dark Star dragonballs. Which is why GT stands for Grand Tour. In one
hilarious episode, Trunks is forced to dress as a princess to marry some
beast.
Gohan
is the second most important character in dragonball. His father, Gokou is
the most important. Gohan grows from a little child of 5 to a grown up of
25 in the series. A picture of him when he was 9 and in super saiyan stage
is pictured right. Gohan's 15 minutes of fame was when he destroyed the
great villain, Cell with one single punch. Another identity of Gohan was
as the great Saiyaman. He defeated everyone in a tournament and then
unmasked himself as Son Gohan. Gohan was trained by the nameccian Piccolo.
Piccolo was first in the Dragonball series as a villian but then switched
to the side of good. He never really liked Gokou, but he did take a liking
towards Gokou's son, Gohan. He trained him and in the Vegeta saga, took a
big punch intended for Gohan by Vegeta's right hand man, Napa. The two got
closer together as the series went on, and in one part, Gohan sings a song
to Piccolo about how much he admires him, while Piccolo looked on,
insulted by this saiyan warrior singing a song. Later in the series, Gohan
began going out with the daughter of Mr. Satan, Videl. I am not quite
sure, but I think that later on, the two got married. Son Gohan also made
an appearance in Dragonball GT. In the Baby saga, Baby takes over the body
of Gohan, and Gohan hits Piccolo with a kamehameha while Piccolo retreats
and carries Goten to safety.
His
real name is Kakaroto. He discovered that from his brother Raditz which is
also the first time he learned that he is a Saiyajin. Not only is he a
great warrior, but also a spectacular leader. Throughout the entire
series, he had inspired many, including both of his sons, Gohan and Goten
and especially Vegeta. He is a diligent and hardworking person who would
never fail to take on new challenges. Even though he had became the most
powerful warrior in the universe by defeating Freeza, he still strive to
become better. After Future Trunks had foretold the arrival of the cyborgs
and Dr. Gero. He could have opted for the easy path by getting to Dr. Gero
before the cyborgs were created, but he chose to challenge himself instead
by preparing for their arrival. Goku's unfaltering spirit and confidence
is remarkable. After he forfeited the battle against Cell, no one, not
even Gohan himself had the confidence to defeat Cell. Goku was the only
one who had confidence in Gohan and followed through all the way to the
end, even after Gohan was seriously injured and lost the will to fight. He
never quits under any circumstance. Even after everyone gave up, his mind
never stopped looking for solutions. Seconds before Cell was about to
explode and destroy Earth, Goku realized he could teleport Cell to another
location. His leadership and inspiration was proved pivotal as Future
Trunks unveiled the grim story of his time where Goku died of a rare heart
disease and everyone except for Trunks were killed. The most tragic of all
was that Gohan's tremendous talent was never realized as he died under the
hands of #17. After the Dragon Ball Warriors initial encounter with #17
and #18 and subsequently Cell, Goku realized that he must transcend the
Super Saiyajin to stand a chance against the cyborgs. Under his guidance,
an intensive training program in the "Time Room" was launched.
During that time, he trained Gohan for the first time and fully unleashed
Gohan's potential. The one person he had inspired most throughout the
series was Vegeta. Vegeta entered the story as as an evil individual who
would find any means necessary to satisfy his hunger for power who was
also too proud to accept defeat. Through Goku's inspiration, Vegeta slowly
transformed into a good hearted person who accepted himself. During Goku's
final battle with Majin Buu, he openly accepted that he was no match for
neither Buu nor Goku and willing to participate in the sidelines (by
gathering energy for Goku's final strike) rather than the actual fight.
Vegita Even
though he is evil at heart, Vegita is perhaps one of the most
strong-willed characters in the series. Like Son Gokou, he is extremely
industrious, constantly striving to be better, but different purposes
drove Vegita's spirit. Gokou fought to defend the lives and others and to
challenge his limitations while Vegita fought to satiate his bloodthirsty
appetite and die hard pride, which is unwilling to accept defeat. This
gradually changes throughout the series. The primary driver of his will is
Son Gokou. Vegita's defeat in his first encounter with Gokou and his
unwillingness to accept Gokou being more powerful had constantly fuelled
his strong will to continue to train himself. After seeing Gokou turn into
Super Saiyajin and defeating Freiza, he grew even more jealous of Goku's
achievements and immersed himself in intensive training. After much sweat
and frustration, he finally became Super Saiyajin. He only enjoyed a
fleeting moment of pride in destroying #20, before being defeated by #18.
Vegita's first catharsis occurred during Son Gohan's battle with Cell.
Because of his rash decision to attack Cell when he did not have the power
to, had caused Gohan's arm to be seriously injured when Gohan saved his
life. Not only was he not even close to Cell's ability, but also served as
a hindrance to Gohan. That was the first time Vegita accepted his
incapabilities by making an apology to Gohan. By the time Majin Buu
appeared, what used to be a cold-hearted Vegita changed. Right before he
proceeded to sacrifice his life in an attempt to destroy Buu, he told
Trunks that he cared about him and how he felt bad about giving Trunks
much less attention then Trunks deserved. During Son Goku's final battle
with Majin Buu, Vegita goes through a complete catharsis. He realized that
Goku's pure and kind heart gave Goku the power that Vegita never had. He
finally realizes that the good ultimately prevails.More information still
to come on the biography page about Vegita.
Piccolo He
is one of the characters who was originally evil, but through a series of
unexpected events, the evil in him was slowly washed away as Piccolo took
different forms. Piccolo is the offspring of Daimon, who was the pure evil
which separated from Kami-sama as another body. Piccolo and Kami-sama is
one person in two bodies. If one of them die, both will die. When Daimon
was killed by Son Gokou, he vowed that his offspring Piccolo will avenge
him. Thus, Piccolo's character is not just pure evil the way Daimon is. He
is simply focused on destroying Son Gokou. The two of them first met in
the Budokai. Because of the arrival of Raditz, Piccolo found himself an
unwilling partner of Son Goku and together defeated Raditz. When he
learned that two more poweful Saiyajin will avenge Raditz, Piccolo only
found himself even more unwillingly on Goku's side by volunteering to
train his Son, Gohan to become a warrior to fight against the Saiyajin.
Piccolo's militant training style made Gohan a stronger person, gradually
unleashing Gohan's tremendous talent. During the time he spent with Gohan,
Piccolo began to develop love and care for Gohan, which was fully realized
when he sacrificed his life for Gohan in the battle against Nappa. His
love and care for Gohan is readily apparent throughout the Freeza and Cell
series.
Pan Gohan's
and Videl's daugter. Appears for the first time in the last two chapters
of the series, at the age of 4. She looks a bit like her mother when she
was younger. Pan is really strong for her age and size, and surely capable
of becoming a lot better (she can fly around the world in half an hour).
She's a 1/4 of a Saiyajin, so she surely has some fighting potential,
however she's only seen in one fight ( in the Tenkaichi - Budoukai).
Before the series ends, she fights against Moukeko, winning due to Ring
Out and Knock Out at the same time. She is one of the heros of Dragonball
GT.
Chi-Chi
Chi
Chi is the wife of Son Goku. She first makes her appearence in the orginal
DB series as she goes along with Goku and Bulma in search of the dragon
balls. In DBZ, her main purpose focuses on making her son, Gohan, become a
scholar in school. Since Goku wants Gohan to train to become and strong
warrior, there all many arguments that take place throughout the series.
Later in the series where Gohan is in high school and Goten appears, Chi
Chi gets very worried as Goten is always out fighting. Chi Chi is an
interesting character. Though she doesn't appear too often, when she does
appear the scene is usualy some kind of comic event. Mainly throughout the
series she gets very worried when she hears that Gohan and Goten are in
trouble and usually puts on this hilarious scene running rampent around
the Kame house then fainting. She is known to snap at any occasion,
resulting in the weirdest marriage one has ever seen. |
