Some Main Enemies Goku and Co. meet up with compose the main sagas of the series. They include Boo, Cell, Freza, and the Androids. and some of them eventually join our Hero's side. Most of these enemies were modeled after Akira Toriyama's Editors, a different enemy modeled after each different editor that supervised him for a time period. If there is any other information willing to be donated involving the characters please contact me.
Bulma - Bulma has been with the series ever since the beginning of DragonBall. She aids Goku in the finding of dragonballs, and remians a companion and friend for the whole series.and later on setles down with Vegeta and has a family. There seems to be no apparent reason why. She has a son, Trunks, and a daughter, Bra..who takes on like her. Bulma supposedly means "bloomers" in English. ChiChi - The wife of Goku. She proposes the Goku during childhood, where small Goku thought "marriage" was somethign to eat, so he gladly agreed. Later on, during a Tenkaichi-Budokai Tournament, Goku faces her as a young-adult but dosent rememebr her. When they fight again, she falls in love...and they get hitched. They have two sons, Gohan and Goten-both being half-saiyans. Her father is the Ox-King or Guamaoo. Kame-Senin (Master Roshi) - Goku and Krilyin's childhood trainer, he trains them in the "Kame-Senin" Style..which helps them fly and learn special techniques. His trademark attack, the "KameHameHa"-is a special fireball that he passes onto his students. Kame I think is supposed to mean "Turtle" and he trains the boys by having steel turtle shells placed on their back. Kuilyin(Krilyin) - Goku's longtime friend, Kuilyin meets up with Goku at a very young age. He is first a monk, and recieves Master Roshi's training as well. At first they are competitive rivals, but then they become best friends eventually. Kuilyin only is a strong fighter during the Freeza series, and later marries Android #18 and grows old. They have a daughter, Marron. Android #18 - First introduced in the beggining of the Cell/Android series-Android # 18 is a half-human half-robot cyborg created by Dr.Gero along with Android # 17 as an attempt to get revenge on Goku. Later on, she gets engulfed by Cell, but is spared. It is found out that Kuilin has a crush on her. After the defeat of Cell, they marry and have a daughter named Marron-(or chestnut in Japanese)-she joins the crew and stays a main character till the end of the series. Puaar - a special antomorph-shape shifter creature that resembles a cat. It always hangs around Yamcha, and it seems it went to the same kindergarden as Olong, the pig. During the beginning of the series it is more of a main character. Yamcha - We meet Yamcha as a desert rebel in the very beggining of the series. Bulma first has a crush on him. Later on, he joins the group to help them find the dragonballs as well. During DragonBall Z he goes under the training of Master Roshi, and eventually trains with Tenshin-Han at Kaoshin's Planet.He remains strong during the DragonBall series, and the beginning of the Z series. At the end of Z, Yamcha is seen with more of a laidback look. OLong - a Pig antomorph (ability to shape shift) that accompanies the crew since the very beginning of DragonBall. He first is an enemy at the beginning of the series,and is known as a little pervert that transforms just to raid towns for girls and food. Young Goku is eventually dispatched and stops the maenace. Eventually sides with Bulma and Master Roshi to donate his help. Later on, he just hangs around-not much of a contribution to the team anyways. (named after type of tea) Chazuu - a small, doll like creature that always acompanies Tenshin-Han during training and fighting. He has special abilities like physcopathic powers, but he isnt that strong of a fighter. Tenshin-Han - A 3-eyed ally that befriends Goku during DragonBall. He was an enemy before, but decides to join Goku and Co. for their purpose of the DragonBalls. From then on, he remains a good character, and helps battle all enemy threats...even during the Buu series he tries to fight Majin-Buu, but it ends up he is too weak. He was mainly strong during the Piccolo and Vegeta/Raditz Sagas, as well as the Freeza saga.] Mr.Satan - A fighter that is introduced first in the Cell-game series. He boasts of his special skills and brags about that his title ism the best fighter on the earth. So, when he finally has a chance to prove it by going up against Cell, it is known he is quite weak. His pathetic sense of pride leads him to hiding under a big rock for most battles, and it ends up he claims the credit for defeating Cell, where truly it was Gohan. He has a daughter named Videl that eventually marry Gohan. Videl - Mr.Satan's Daughter. Her name comes from rearranging the word "devil" (see a pattern here?). She first meets Gohan in Orange Star High School and becomes his girlfriend. Later on, after the Buu saga-they get married and have a daughter named Pan, who shows alot of fighting spirit. (which makes both Satan and Goku grandpas) Dende - the young namek we find in the Freeza series. He suffers from the conquerer's terror unleashed on his some planet, but is grateful to the Z Warriors and their rescue of both the villages and DragonBalls. It ends up that the elder is killed, therefore the role of Guardian of the Namek DragonBalls is given to him. He gets to summon the Namek Dragon, Porunga, and speaks to fulfill the wishes. We discover that the dragonballs on earth were created by a Namek God to instill hope into the mortal's souls. Dende after the Buu Saga grows older and remains a close friend to everyone. Yarijobe - a samurai-character that appears in DragonBall as an enemy, but remains a great help during the rest of the DragonBall Z Series. He has possesion of a special type of seeds that give great amount of energy to anybody who is weak, and constantly throughout the series they are used to replenish energy when thier is no other hope of recovery. It is also known that he cuts off Vegeta's tail when he is in full-monkey form, helping out Goku during their battle. He resides in the sky-palace with his Cat companion. New Characters in the Series Bra - This is the daughter of Vegeta and Bulma, and the sister of Trunks. she is first introduced in the epilouge of DragonBall Z, and is seen attending the Tenkaichi-budokai as a spectator. She hasent acuired the fighting spirit such as Pan, even though her father and brother are both great fighters. She eventually appears again in DragonBall GT, as a loud and independent-minded adolescent. Boo (formely Majin Buu) - The creature that was fought at the beggining of the Boo Saga, with the appearance of his fat form. It is later understood that the true form of the monster Boo was really a skinny little child, and the fat form was just a curse palced on it when he invaded the Kaoshins years ago. When they split apart, the fat Boo is turned into a cookie and is energy is absorbed. During the battle, he is spat out and saves Satan's life from the evil Boo-He fights on our heroes side and distracts the enemy long enough for Goku to prepare the Genki-Dama. Therefore at the end of the series, Satan pleads for Boo's life to be saved--because he has saved his life. All of them agree--and Boo changes his name to "Mr.Boo" when he lives with Mr.Satan. Ubuu (Oob) - During the epilouge at the end of DragonBall Z, a young boy is seen that is paired up against Goku to fight. Goku senses that he is actually the reincarnation of the evil boo that was fought 10 years ago, and Vegeta looks in suprise. Goku explains that 10 years ago during the battle of Majin-Buu, he had made a personal wish to himself that such an evil creature could have his soul brought back as a good-natured human being...so he belives it was fulfilled. During the battle, Goku is not suprised at this young boy's fighting potential--so he tells everyone that he will take him as his student and train with Ubuu. He flies away into the horizon with his student, and later on in GT--Ubuu becomes as strong as Goku..they end up training once every year to improve their skills. (note: also in GT, Boo and Ubuu realize that previously they were one, so they end up fusing together to become stronger) Pan - The young daughter of Gohan and Videl exhibits a great amount of fighting force for such a young age. During the Tenkaichi-Bodokai that occurs during the epilouge at the end of DragonBall Z, Pan is matched up against a tough competitor. Pan easily wins, and everyone is amazed. Her two grandparents, Goku and Satan are proud of such strength. |
