Line 1: {{work}} Back to [[~~Dragon Ball (Manga)\|~~Dragon Ball]] == Shenron == [[File:shenlong_2826.jpg\|frame]] '''Shenron (神龍; ''Shén Lóng'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kenji Utsumi]], Masaharu Sato (Japanese); Don Brown (Ocean dub); [[Christopher Sabat]] (Funimation dub)}} The dragon of the Earth's Dragon Balls, Shenron always comes out to grant wishes to whoever summons him. He was created as a small statue by Mr. Popo, then given life by Kami. * [[Benevolent Genie]]: The wish he grants is always exactly what the wisher wants, subject to the limitations of his power. ** [[Literal Genie]]: While he's not a [[Jackass Genie\|jackass]] about it, he sticks to the parameters of the wish; the people Vegeta killed on Namek weren't revived when "everyone killed by Frieza or his minions" was. This is viciously lampshaded by Vegeta. {{quote\| The missing ones must be from the village '''I''' slaughtered. The conditions were "killed by Freeza's men", correct? Well, since Freeza "discharged" me from his employment, I no longer qualify as one of "Freeza's men", yes? [[Evil Laugh\|(Chuckles)]]}} * [[Bilingual Bonus]]/[[Meaningful Name]]: Shen Long is Chinese for "God Dragon." * [[Blind Idiot Translation]]/[[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: The name Shenron comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese reading of Shen Long. Really, the dub was better when it just used "Eternal Dragon." * [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: It's called ''Dragon'' Ball for a reason. * [[Our Dragons Are Different]] Line 21: [[File:turtle_859.png\|frame]] '''Turtle (海亀; ''Umigame'', "Sea Turtle")''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Daisuke Gouri]] (Japanese); Don Brown (Ocean dub); [[Christopher Sabat]], Chris Cason (Funimation dub)}} A turtle named Turtle, Master Roshi's loyal pet/housemate. Goku and Bulma met Turtle early in their search for the Dragon Balls when he was lost in the wilderness and returned him to Roshi, who gave Goku the Flying Nimbus as a reward. Turtle is good-natured and friendly, but often frustrated at Roshi's skirt-chasing antics. Line 37: [[File:oolong_4211.jpg\|frame]] '''Oolong (ウーロン; ''Uuron'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' Naoki Tatsuda (Japanese); Dave Mallow (Harmony Gold dub); Alec Willows, Doug Parker (Ocean dub); Brad Jackson (''Dragon Ball'', ''Z'' and ''GT''), [[Bryan Massey]] (''Kai'') (Funimation dub)}} Originally a con artist who terrorized a small village using his shapeshifting powers, Oolong is a greedy, lecherous pig (literally); when Goku defeated him, Oolong joined him and Bulma in their search for the Dragon Balls. At first a useless whiner, Oolong later proved his worth by "stealing" Pilaf's wish from the Dragon Balls (by wishing for a pair of girl's panties). He and Puar were rivals in shapeshifting school, but because Oolong dropped out in kindergarten, his powers only allow him to stay transformed for five minutes. * [[Achilles' Heel]]: He can only stay shapeshifted for five minutes. If he's shapeshifted for five minutes together (no matter how many forms he went through in that time span), he has to rest a minute before he can do it again. (Check his debut chapter in the manga: He can go straight from one form to another, so long as he hasn't used up all five minutes.) * [[Adaptational Badass]]: In the unofficial Chinese Movie [[Dragon Ball: ~~the~~The Magic Begins]], Oolong(known as Piggy) has the ability to turn into Rambo(yes [[Rambo\|that Rambo]]). * [[Balloon Belly]] * [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: He never wished for Bulma's panties. He specifically asked for the panties off a hot babe (or world's most comfortable pair of underwear in the original dub). It's never stated whether or not that pair belonged to Bulma. Line 50: * [[Dirty Coward]]: [[Played for Laughs]] * [[Dub Name Change]]: Became "Mao Mao" in the Harmony Gold dub, presumably because of the Chinese uniform he originally wears. * [[Expy]]: Originally, of Zhu Bajie (aka "Piggy") from ''[[Journey to ~~The~~the West]]''. * [[Messy Pig]] * [[Non-Human Sidekick]] * [[Petting Zoo People]] * [[Race Lift\|Species Lift]]: Oolong is a piggish human in the unofficial movie [[Dragon Ball: ~~the~~The Magic Begins]]. * [[Smarter Than You Look]]: When Chi Chi appears during the 23rd Tournament, ''Oolong'' was the only one to recognize her, even though he only met her once! * [[Theme Naming]]: After tea. * [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Oolong and Puar were classmates at the Shapeshifter Academy. == Puar == [[File:puar_9337.jpg\|frame]] '''Puar (プーアル; ''Puuaru'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' Naoko Watanabe (Japanese); [[~~Cathy Weseluck (Creator)\|~~Cathy Weseluck]] (Ocean dub); Monika Antonelli (''Dragon Ball'', ''Z'' and ''GT''), [[Brina Palencia]] (''Kai'') (Funimation dub)}} A shapeshifting cat-like creature and Yamcha's closest friend. Puar is fiercely loyal to Yamcha. Puar mostly just provides moral support to Goku and friends, but saved everyone the first time Goku transformed into a Great Ape by cutting off Goku's tail. Line 73: * [[Non-Human Sidekick]] * [[Satellite Character]]: Puar is mostly important in relation to Yamcha. * [[Race Lift\|Species Lift]]: To Parrot in [[Dragon Ball: ~~the~~The Magic Begins]] * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Alternately "Pu'erh", "Puaru". * [[Talking Animal]] * [[Theme Naming]]: After tea. Line 83: [[File:chi-chi_468.png\|frame]] '''Chi-Chi (チチ)''' {{quote\| '''Chi-Chi voiced by:''' Mayumi Sho, Naoko Watanabe (Japanese)~~<br />~~ '''Kid Chi-Chi voiced by:''' Andrea Libman (Ocean dub), [[Laura Bailey]] (Funimation dub)~~<br />~~ '''Adult Chi-Chi voiced by:''' Laara Sadiq, Lisa Ann Bele (Ocean dub); [[Cynthia Cranz]] (Funimation dub) }} Line 97: * [[Chickification]]: Chi-Chi still keeps her physical strength from the first series but gave up fighting in favor of being a housewife and overprotective parent in ''Z''. Though, with what goes on in this series, it's kinda hard to blame her. ** Lampshaded in ''[[Dragon Ball Kai\|Kai]]'' {{quote\| '''Roshi:''' That little firecracker wife turned out to be a real school mom, did she?}} * [[Doting Parent]]: [[Education Mama\|Gohan.]] [[Doting Parent\|Goten.]] Compare and contrast. * [[Education Mama]] * [[Flanderization]]: Chi-Chi's temperament and character is quite exaggerated in the anime from what it was in the manga. * [[Hime Cut]]: Though it's difficult to tell, since her hair is usually done up. She ditched the bangs sometime after Goten was born. * [[Hot Amazon]]: It should he noted that Goku got engaged soon after their match in the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai, where she reached the last 8 finalists. * [[Hot Mom]]: Once you get past her temper, that is... Line 108: * [[Made of Iron]]: A playful tap from Goku accidentally sent Chichi through the wall of a house, through a tree, and halfway into a boulder! In the next panel she only has her head and arm in bandages to show for it and she's merely annoyed rather than in pain. * [[Mama Bear]]: She may have retired from fighting, but she'll do whatever it takes to protect her sons. * [[My Beloved Smother]]: Chi-chi has a '''seriously''' skewered sense of priorities when it comes to choosing between the human race's continued survival and her son's studies (Something that Gohan even [[~~Lampshades~~lampshade]]s in ''Super Android 13'' when, after Chi Chi tried to stop Gohan from going after the androids due to homework, he asks her which she values more, his studies, or Goku's survival against the Androids, which shocked Chi Chi with this revelation enough for her to allow Gohan to go). Fortunately, she loosens up with Goten. She was also opposed to Videl's apparent interest in Gohan... until she discovered how much money Videl has. Despite the fact that Chi-Chi's father is said to own several castles. Line 114: *** Chichi stated that they were running out of her dad's money. Feeding Goku, Gohan and Goten probably added up. * [[Shout-Out]]: Chi-Chi's original design was [[Super Sentai]]-like this. She even shot beams out of the gem in her helmet. * [[Skewed Priorities]]: As mentioned above. * [[The Other Darrin]]: Mayumi Shou, Chi-Chi's original seiyuu, left the series and was replaced by Naoko Watanabe. * [[Tsundere]]: So much. * [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Met Goku when he was 12, and later [[Happily Married]] with him. * [[Warrior Prince~~\|Warrior Princess~~]]ss * [[The Worf Effect]]: There are a few times she does fight but due to most being superpowered people and her not keeping up with her training, she gets taken down easily. Line 125: [[File:ox-king_2983.jpg\|frame]] '''Ox-King (牛魔王; ''Gyuu-Maou'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Daisuke Gouri]], [[Ryuzaburo Ohtomo]] (Japanese); Dave Ward (Ocean dub); Mark Britten, [[Kyle Hebert]] (Funimation dub)}} The legendary Ox-King of Fire Mountain.<ref>also known as "Gyuumaou", literally Japanese for "Ox-King"</ref>. The Ox-King terrorized the countryside to keep would-be thieves away from his castle. When Goku and his friends came looking for one the Dragon Ball in his treasury, he relents (he couldn't get into his own castle anyway because of the wall of flames around it) and offers Goku his daughter's hand in marriage. Ox-King turned out to be one of Master Roshi's pupils and a friend of Goku's Grandpa Gohan. After his daughter settled down with Goku, he became a doting grandfather to Gohan and Goten. * [[Doting Parent]]: He's very fond of his daughter and grandsons. Line 133: * [[Jerkass Facade]]: Ox-King intentionally pulled this up to his first appearance to prevent thieves from coming into his castle and robbing his gold. [[Overprotective Dad\|That, and taking his daughter]]. So, [[Disproportionate Retribution\|he terrorized the nearby village]], [[Shrouded in Myth\|and legends of him spread as a bloodthirsty demonic tyrant]]. Suffice to say, this wasn't the best course of action he could have taken (though, it was pretty effective). Father and daughter being inhumanly strong, notwithstanding (the latter killed a ''T. Rex'' with ease at ''twelve years of age''). He later got reprimanded for this by Master Roshi, who told him to apologize to the villagers for how he treated them, and mellowed out... after his home on Frypan Mountain was blown to bits by Roshi. * [[Overprotective Dad]] * [[Public Domain Character]]: Ox-King is the only character other than Son Goku to retain the same name as his ''[[Journey to ~~The~~the West]]'' counterpart. * [[Retired Badass]] * [[The Other Darrin]]: His voice was replaced in [[Dragon Ball Kai\|Kai]] by [[Ryuzaburo Ohtomo]], due to the death of Daisuke Gouri. Line 141: [[File:launch1_7864.png\|frame]] '''Lunch/Launch (ランチ; ''Ranchi'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Mami Koyama]] (Japanese), Meredith McCoy (Funimation dub)}} Minor joke character during the original series, was picked up and brought to Roshi by Goku and Krillin to bribe him into training the two. Her "moodswings"~~--really~~—really a split ~~personality--when~~personality—when she sneezes provided a fair amount of comedy, shifting between a sweet blue-haired ingenue and a violent blonde criminal. She's not heard from much in the Z series. * [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Bad Launch has a massive crush on Tien. Line 154: * [[The Gunslinger]] * [[Ingenue]]: Good Launch. * [[In Love ~~With~~with Your Carnage]]: Blonde Lunch for Tenshinhan. * [[More Dakka]] * [[Ms. Fanservice]] Line 160: * [[Sneeze Cut]]: Bad Launch was about to attack King Piccolo, but Bulma whispers something about her, and she sneezes and turns back. * [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Bad Lunch. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Her name is more accurately rendered as "Lunch", but the English versions call her "Launch". * [[Split Personality]]: Is a fiery blonde and sweet blue-haired girl. * [[Tareme Eyes]]/[[Tsurime Eyes]]: Good Launch and Bad Launch, respectively. Line 172: [[File:android_8_7322.png\|frame]] '''Android 8 (人造人間八号; ''Jinzou Ningen Hachi-Gou'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' Shozo Ishikawa (Japanese), Dale Wilson (Ocean dub), [[Mike McFarland]] (Funimation dub)}} A [[Frankenstein]]-like monster and one of Doctor Gero's earliest Androids, 8 was rejected by the Red Ribbon Army due to his gentle nature. Helps out a young Goku during his raid on the Red Ribbon's Muscle Tower. * [[Actual Pacifist]] Line 187: [[File:korin_7293.png\|frame]] '''Korin (カリン; ''Karin'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' Ichiro Nagai, Naoki Tatsuta (Japanese); [[Paul Dobson]], [[Ted Cole]] (Ocean dub); [[Christopher Sabat]] (Funimation dub)}} Goku's second mentor, Korin<ref>Karin in the original Japanese</ref> is an 800 year old talking cat who lives in a tower directly under Kami's lookout. Korin's senzu beans, which causes full healing from physical injury after being eaten, play a big part in the series. Korin was also Master Roshi's mentor 300 years earlier. Line 208: [[File:fortuneteller_baba_5950.png\|frame]] '''Fortuneteller Baba (占いババ; ''Uranai Baba'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Junpei Taniguchi]], [[Mayumi Tanaka]] (Japanese); Ellen Kennedy, [[Brian Drummond]] (Ocean dub); Linda Chambers-Young (Funimation)}} A small, old witch that can divine things with the crystal ball she floats around on. The older sister of Master Roshi, she lives in a pyramid, providing divinations to those who can match one of two ~~requirements--pay~~requirements—pay an outrageous fee, or defeat her chosen champions in combat. She can also provide a dead warrior a 24-hour return to the living, making for some joyous reunions. After the Red Ribbon saga, Goku's friends go to her for help finding the last Dragon Ball, and she periodically pops up to help for free, as the Z-warriors are now more powerful than any warrior she can employ. * [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Was voiced by the late [[Junpei Taniguchi]] until DBZ, when [[Mayumi Tanaka]] [[The Other Darrin\|stepped in]]. In the English dubs, [[Paul Dobson]] replaced Ellen Kennedy in the Ocean dub, while [[Christopher Sabat]] voiced her in ''The Revenge of King Piccolo''. Line 216: * [[Foreshadowing]]: Hints that Goku will save the world, which he does two saga's later... and keeps on doing until the end of the series. * [[Miniature Senior Citizens]] * [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Like her brother, Muten Roshi, Uranai Baba is a title ("Fortunetelling Crone"), not a name. The US manga always refers to her as "All-Seeing Crone" to make this more blatant. Line 222: [[File:chiaotzu_4347.jpg\|frame]] '''Chiaotzu (餃子; ''Chaozu'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' Hiroko Emory (Japanese); [[~~Cathy Weseluck (Creator)\|~~Cathy Weseluck]] (Ocean dub); Monika Antonelli (''Dragon Ball'', ''Z'' and ''GT''), [[Brina Palencia]] (''Kai'') (Funimation dub)}} Introduced in the second Tournament arc, Tien and Chiaotzu were initially rivals to Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha (as they belonged to an opposing dojo to Roshi's). The two eventually become friends to our heroes after realizing the lack of honor in their own methods. They become instrumental in the the next few arcs following their introduction, but after the Saiyan Saga Chiaotzu becomes less important (and after the Cell Saga, so does Tien). By the Cell Saga they become side characters who are mentioned and seen frequently, but rarely do anything significant. Line 241: * [[Kick the Dog]]: His and Tien's introduction chapter. * [[Older Than They Look]]: He looks exactly the same throughout the entire series. * [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]] * [[Redemption Demotion]] * [[Morality Pet]]: To Tien during his villain days. Particularly notable in ''Mystical Adventure'' * [[Psychic Powers]]: Chiaotzu rigs the World Martial Arts Tournament twice, using telekinesis. * [[Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training]]: He needs to use his fingers to solve basic math problems, like 3 + 4. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Chaozu? Chiaotzu? Chaotzu? Gyouza? Chaos? Kaos (used by the original translation of the Spanish manga. No idea where they came up with that)? * [[Taking You ~~With~~with Me]]: Tries this on Nappa. It doesn't work. * [[The Stoic]]: At first... * [[Use Your Head]]: Against Krillin. Tsuru Sennin even comments that Chiaotzu's head is as hard as a diamond. Line 258: [[File:yajirobe_9233.png\|frame]] '''Yajirobe (ヤジロベー)''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Mayumi Tanaka]] (Japanese), [[Brian Drummond]] (Ocean dub), [[Mike McFarland]] (Funimation dub)}} Yajirobe is a fat samurai vagabond who eventually started living with Korin. He usually acts as a senzu delivery man, but also helped fight off King Piccolo's henchmen and Vegeta himself. Line 270: * [[The Drag Along]]: Yajirobe hates training and getting into dangerous situations. During the Saiyan Saga, he flat out told Krillin that he did not want to go to the Lookout to train with Kami alongside the other Z fighters, but Korin wouldn't let him sit this one out. He is still a valuable ally that has too much of a conscience to just stand idly by while his friends give their lives to protect the Earth. * [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Yajirobe killed and then ''ate'' one of Piccolo's minions. {{quote\| '''Yajirobe''': You're not gettin' any!~~<br />~~ '''Goku''': I don't ''want'' any. }} * [[Gut Feeling]]: Yajirobe loses in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament against Shin, who was Kami in disguise and while he is mocked for it, he constantly thinks that Shin is much more that he lets and when Yamcha is paired up with Shin he actually actively pities Yamcha, stating he has no chance against Shin. After Yamcha gets swatted like a fly by “Shin”, he is the only one not surprised by this outcome. * [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Yajirobe contemplated eating Goku after he was seemingly killed by Piccolo. Granted, Goku isn't exactly human, but he looks it enough to count and at the time no one knew he was an alien. * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]] * [[Katanas Are Better]] * [[Let's Get Dangerous]] * [[Meaningful Name]]: Yajirobe roughly translates as "taunting noodle spine". * [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: This guy was equal to ''Goku'' in his first appearance. However, Goku [[Time to Unlock More True Potential\|unlocked more of his hidden potential]], and it quickly went downhill by the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, where he didn't even become a finalist. * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: He and Korin act like they hate each other, but they continue to live together at Korin Tower. * [[Talking to Himself]]: See Krillin entry. Line 286: [[File:popo_5964.png\|frame]] '''Mr. Popo (ミスター・ポポ; ''Misutaa Popo'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' Toku Nishio, Kawazu Yasuhiko (Japanese); Alvin Sanders, French Tickner (Ocean dub); Chris Cason, Christopher Sabat (Funimation dub)}} Kami's assistant and caretaker of his floating palace, Mr. Popo is a black (''really'' black) genie person. Mr. Popo has apparently been around even longer than Kami has. Mr. Popo helps train a young Goku for his fight against Piccolo in the 3rd Tournament arc, and in Z, shows the heroes Kami's old spaceship and teaches Bulma how to use it. Line 297: * [[Older Than He Looks]]: He's been around longer than ''Kami'' has. * [[Third Person Person]]: In the Japanese version and Viz releases. ** [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: In Funimation. Line 303: [[File:kami_1742.png\|frame]] '''Kami (神)''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Takeshi Aono]], [[Bin Shimada]] (Japanese); [[Michael Dobson]], Dale Wilson (Ocean dub); [[Christopher Sabat]] (Funimation dub)}} Goku's third mentor, and literally the ''God'' of Earth. An alien who was sent from Namek during a climate disaster, Kami, in his eagerness to earn this title, hastily expelled the evil within him to be worthy of it; this gave rise to the tyrant known as Demon King Piccolo, and the guilt of being responsible for his existence has haunted Kami for centuries. He is also the creator of Earth's Dragon Balls and the dragon Shenron. Line 316: * [[Good Counterpart]]: To Demon King Piccolo, whom he inadvertently created. * [[Literal Split Personality]]: In ''DBZ'', it is explained that this is how Demon King Piccolo was created. * [[Moses in ~~The~~the Bulrushes]]: From Namek * [[My Greatest Failure]]: Creating Demon King Piccolo in his haste to become God; he was quite willing to die for this sin. * [[Obsolete Mentor]]: By the time Vegeta and Nappa invaded Earth, the only meaning to Kami's existence is to keep the Dragon Balls alive. Line 324: [[File:king_kai_6808.png\|frame]] '''King Kai (界王; ''Kaiou'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Jouji Yanami]] (Japanese), Don Brown (Ocean dub); [[Sean Schemmel]] (Funimation dub)}} Goku's fourth mentor in the series (after Master Roshi, Korin, and Kami). A small cricket-like man with a penchant for bad jokes. Helps train Goku to fight Nappa and Vegeta while Goku is in the afterlife. Also provides much information on the races in the series. Line 337: * [[Physical God]]: The status, not the power that the fighters wield. * [[Pungeon Master]]: In addition to being a martial arts master. Before he agrees to train you, you have to make him laugh, and he only like really lame jokes. * [[Psychic Powers]] / [[Telepathy]]: Can use his "cricket antennae" to have psychic conversations with others. He uses this to communicate with Goku and the others, coordinate plans (the wishes while Goku was fighting Freiza), and warn Goku of potential danger to the earth (several of the movies). * [[Talking to Himself]]: See Goku. * [[Wax On, Wax Off]]: First task: catch a monkey. Second task: hit a bug with a hammer. Line 345: [[File:dende_4552.jpg\|frame]] '''Dende (デンデ)''' {{quote\| '''Kid Dende voiced by:''' Tomiko Suzuki (''Z''), [[Aya Hirano]] (''Kai'') (Japanese); Paulina Gillis (Ocean dub), Ceyli Delgadillo, [[Laura Bailey]] (''Z''), [[Maxey Whitehead]] (''Kai'') (Funimation dub)~~<br />~~ '''Adult Dende voiced by:''' [[Hiro Yuki]] (Japanese), [[Andrew Francis]] (Ocean dub), [[Justin Cook]] (Funimation dub) }} Line 352: * [[God Job]]: Dende doesn't have the fighting skills to protect the Earth but he does have the knowledge to create dragons, so he got the job * [[Healing Hands]]: The reason why the Z Warriors heal up and why he's killed in the Frieza saga. * [[Kill the Cutie]]: During the Frieza arc. * [[Last of His Kind]]: Very briefly, but still. * [[Moe Couplet]]: With Gohan. Dende's the only kid Gohan is really seen interacting with, and they are so cuuuute. Line 358: ** Makes sense in that Piccolo fused with Nail, who was a sort of [[Big Brother Mentor]] to Dende. * [[Non-Action Guy]]: One of the only main ones in the series * [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Brought back to become god. ** [[The Bus Came Back]]: To become another Kami. * [[Shoot the Medic First]]: And holy crap, Freeza '''[[Dangerously Genre Savvy\|did]]'''. Line 367: [[File:icarus_4170.png\|frame]] '''Icarus (ハイヤードラゴン; ''Haiyaa Doragon'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Naoki Tatsuda]] (Japanese), [[~~Cathy Weseluck (Creator)\|~~Cathy Weseluck]] (Ocean dub), [[Christopher Sabat]] (Funimation dub)}} A baby dragon that befriended Gohan after Gohan rescued him from a forest fire. Line 384: [[File:Bardock_4634.jpg\|frame]] '''Bardock/Burdock (バーダック; ''Baadakku'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Masako Nozawa]] (Japanese), [[Sonny Strait]] (Funimation dub) }} Goku's father. Was given the power to see the fate of his race and tried to stop it but ended up failing in the end. He died happy though when {{spoiler\|he realized his own son would be the one to take down Freeza}}. Recently got his own spinoff Manga, in which {{spoiler\|he became a [[Golden Super Mode\|Super]] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced\|Saiyan]] while fighting Freeza's ancestor, Chilled and started the whole Super Saiyian legend.}} Line 394: * [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V in the special. Type IV or III in the spinoff manga. * [[Badass]]: Fighting Dodoria's henchmen, taking on ''Freeza'' AND, in the spinoff Manga, {{spoiler\|beating Chilled right after becoming a Super Saiyan.}} * [[Blessed ~~With~~with Suck]]: On the planet they've just purged, an alien in his last moments gives Bardock psychic powers so that he could forsee his own planet's destruction. ** Lampshaded in the [[Dragon Ball Abridged\|Abridged Series]], where, during his fight with Dodoria, he says "USELESS ASS PSYCHIC POWERS!" * [[Blood Knight]]: Pretty obvious, considering the fact that he is a Saiyan. * [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: According to [[Dragon Ball Online]]: {{spoiler\|Miira went back in time, snatched Bardock just as he was being disintegrated by Frieza's death ball, and ends up brainwashing him to be one of his minions. Eventually he breaks free of it and presumably kills him in a kamikaze attack, although he himself survives somehow.}} * [[Breakout Character]]: Despite appearing only in a few pages in the original manga, Bardock got his own [[Original Video Animation\|OVA]] and more scenes in the anime mostly because he is Goku's biological father, but then he started to earn a status of his own, apart from being just Goku's father Bardock got more exposition in games for the franchise. ** And finally to cement his breakout status, Bardock got his own manga series in 2011, a "what-if" {{spoiler\|he survived Planet Vegeta's destruction (that's implied to have involved time travelling to the past somehow), and venturing in his planet's distant past. Bardock even got a Super Saiyan transformation which previously only apperead in the game ''Dragon Ball Heroes''.}} * [[Byronic Hero]] Line 404: * [[Cassandra Truth]]: None of the other Saiyans believed that Freeza would destroy them. * [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: In Japanese. * [[Death Byby Origin Story]]: [[Too Dumb to Live\|take on Frieza in his first and weakest form, when you couldn't even take down Dodoria, who's weaker than both Zarbon and the Ginyu Force.]] [[Badass\|It's still pretty awesome though]] * [[Determinator]]: Blasts his way through hundreds of henchmen to get to Freeza. * [[Doomed Byby Canon]]: No one in the series at that point could take on Frieza in his second form if the first wasn't enough, let alone his third form which he never revealed before or even his fourth and final. * [[The Dragon]]: Tora. * [[Dub Text]]: The English dub added a ''lot'' of character alterations '''not''' present in the original Japanese, mainly supposed "regret" at being "forced" to committ mass murder to make him more morally-palatable to western parents. [[Viewers are Morons\|The audience are expected to believe this]] in spite of the fact that Bardock and his men are CLEARLY shown to take joy and satisfaction in their jobs. Line 420: * [[Speak of the Devil]]: After Bardock arrives at Planet Vegeta after suffering a heavy beating from Dodoria, he learns that his son Kakarot was shipped to Earth. He briefly forsaw this in his premonition dreams, and then comes to the conclusion that, if Kakarot is being sent to Earth was true, that must also mean that Frieza's attack on Planet Vegeta, and its destruction, is also true as well. * [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: To Goku. * [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]] * [[Theme Naming]]: After the burdock vegetables. * [[Time Travel]]: It's implied in his spinoff manga that {{spoiler\|this might be what happened to him after Frieza attempts to exterminate the Saiyans, being sent back to sometime before the Saiyans arrived at Planet Vegeta somehow, on what was then known as Planet Plant}}. Similarly, this is also what happened in [[Dragon Ball Online]] in regards to {{spoiler\|how he survived and got brainwashed by Miira}}. Line 427 ⟶ 428: * [[X Marks the Hero\|X Marks The "Anti Hero"]] * [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: {{spoiler\|But you can start a legacy}} == King Vegeta == [[File:king_vegeta_441.png\|frame]] '''King Vegeta (ベジータ王; ''Bejiita Ou'')''' {{quote\| '''Voiced by:''' [[Banjo Ginga]] (Japanese), Colin Murdock (Ocean dub), [[Christopher Sabat]] (Funamation dub)}} King Vegeta was the King of all Saiyans and the father of Vegeta. He was also a "hero" to the Saiyans, after he led his people to victory in the Saiyan-Tuffle war, in which the planet was renamed in his honor. After his people were annexed by Frieza's planet trade organization, he had no choice but to pledge allegiance, knowing the Saiyans weren't powerful enough to defeat him. The Saiyans worked under Frieza for several years, then his son, Prince Vegeta was given to Frieza under unknown circumstances, although King Vegeta intended to rebel before he would ever let Frieza gain his son. Unfortunately, his rebellion was cut short by Frieza himself and he was killed. Line 442: * [[Badass Beard]] * [[Blood Knight]]: He's a Saiyan, what else would you expect? * [[Adaptation Expansion]]/[[Breakout Character]]/[[Canon Foreigner]]: Despite only being mentioned in just one page in the original manga, he got more scenes in the anime. * [[Death Byby Origin Story]]: No King Vegeta, the role of defeating Frieza goes to one of your lowly soldiers' son. * [[Determinator]]: See [[Badass]] * [[Dub Text]]: The dub makes him sound more heroic. His motivation in the original is to free the Saiya-jin from Frieza and take his empire for their own. The prince was a minor factor, if even worth the mention. * [[Doomed Byby Canon]]: See [[Death Byby Origin Story]] * [[Egopolis]]: After the Saiyans conquered the Green Planet, he renamed it Vegeta, after himself. * [[Evil Versus Evil]]: When going against Frieza its easy to forget King Vegeta was a tyrant himself, even though he did care for his son and his [[Dub Text\|people]].

Akira Toriyama later created a daughter for Kuririn and #18, and the final chapter of the manga revealed her name to be ''Marron.'' While it looks like Marron was named after her father's ex, it's more likely that Toriyama and the writers at Toei simply hit on the same pun: "marron" is French for "chestnut," which Kuririn's name is a pun on. * [[Noodle Incident]]: ~~Inverted--her~~Inverted—her reappearance was on-screen, and detailed.

While strong he is more interested in nature than fighting, becoming an ally to the Z Fighters after 17 and 18 are absorbed by Cell. {{spoiler\|Sadly he ends up being [[Killed Off for Real]] by Cell. Though it's his death that sparks [[Took a Level Inin Badass\|Gohan's power jump.]]}} * [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Averted with Android 16, who plainly stated that his goal was to kill Son Goku, as per his programming, and he tagged along with the other androids because he believed that they had the same goal as him. This also implies the later confirmed truth that 16 is the only one of the trio who is not fully sentient, since Bulma had to remove Dr. Gero's programming from 16 when she repaired him - so that he wouldn't want to fight Goku anymore - while Android 18 did not get the same treatment. In fact, Android 18 seemed to have absolutely no interest in killing Goku whatsoever from the start, and Android 17 appeared to be hunting Goku out of his own free will, seeing it as some kind of "game". * [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Android 16 seems to have a knack for analysing the power and abilities of others, immediately sensing Piccolo's fusion. In a show where everyone is constantly underestimating their opponent, this sticks out. * [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As the overconfident Cell finds out the ''hard and painful'' way. Line 498 ⟶ 497: * [[Expy]]: Of Android 8 from earlier in the series. Both androids are fully mechanical creations that are incredibly strong but considered failures in spite of it due to their well-meaning, caring personalities. * [[Friend to All Living Things]]: He likes the birds. * [[Gentle Giant]]: He's big and one of the only non-[[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold\|cocky hero]] or [[Jerkass\|pricks]] in the series, {{spoiler\|he HAD to go...}} * {{spoiler\|[[Heroic RROD]]: Subverted.

They end up being activated prematurely, then turn on their creator and destroy him. Literally, they're actually [[~~Cyborg\|cyborgs~~cyborg]]s, as it's stated a few times that they were originally human teenage [[The Runaway\|runaways]] kidnapped and experimented on by the old man. In the alternate timeline, they go on a rampage across the Earth, causing destruction and chaos. Even the Z Fighters end up buying it at their hands, at least till Trunks' extended stay in the past gives him enough strength to take them out. In the main timeline they're oddly more subdued, deciding to only focus on finding and fighting Goku. 18 seems to hardly care about it at all and only fights when prompted. After the androids' first bout with the Z Fighters, 18 comes across the frightened Kuririn and kisses him on a whim. He pretty much falls for her after this and clinches their relationship after wishing a bomb installed by Dr. Gero out of her body. The two turn out to be the necessary sacrifices for Gero's greatest creation, Cell to absorb and become his ultimate form, which he succeeded for a while, until Gohan and Goku's actions cause him to lose both. 18 becomes another background character after this although she has a somewhat more notable part (the Budokai arc in he Majin Buu Saga), while her twin brother 17 is relegated to a cameo appearance in the final battle, before they both take some precedence again in ''GT'''s Super 17 arc. * By the way, "Future" 17 and 18 refer to the ones in Future Trunks' timeline, who destroyed most of the world and caused him to go back in time in the first place. Unlike the main timeline's counterparts, they are almost completly amoral and never turn good. '''Both''': * [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Dr. Gero couldn't create an android evil/obedient or powerful enough to carry out his desires to rule the world or destroy Goku to save his life - until he "made" these two. Or so it seems… except he can't control them at all, and it turns out they're always just waiting for him to let his guard down so they can off him permanently. Its also implied that they wanted to kill all humans because Dr. Gero preprogrammed them to hate humans so he could use them to conquer the world. * [[Anti-Villain]]/[[Anti-Hero]] * [[Ax Crazy]]: The androids from Future Trunks's timeline took great enjoyment from murder and wanton destruction. Compared to the androids from the main timeline, they were also much less mentally stable. One example of this is Android 18's reaction to being struck by Future Trunks once he returned to his timeline at the end of the Cell Saga. The main timeline's Android 18 did not lose her composure even when she was being hit by Vegeta or later on by Might Mask, and even when she fought Cell, who was vastly more powerful than her, she appeared to be more scared than angry and nevertheless managed to remain fairly rational given the circumstances. The Android 18 from Future Trunks's timeline, on the other hand, became very enraged and attacked Future Trunks while at the same time vocalizing all the hatred she felt for him. * [[Blue Eyes]]: Both of them, icy cold ones. * [[Creepy Twins]]: At first. * [[Cyborg~~\|Cyborgs~~]]s * [[Dragon-in-Chief]]: To Gero, until Cell absorbs them. * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: This more or less applies more to their alternate future selves than to their present selves, but still: Although Android 18 is heavily implied to be a ruthless android who treats killing humans as some sort of game, it is implied that she hated Android 17's decision to murder a boy that she thought was "cute." Line 529 ⟶ 528: * [[Friendly Enemy\|Friendly Enemies]]: At first. * [[Freudian Excuse]]: It's implied that their sociopathic tendencies in the special was the direct result of Gero's plans for world domination, having apparently programmed them to have a hatred of humanity so he could then manipulate them into aiding him in conquering the planet. * [[Gone Horribly Right]]: See [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]. * [[Half-Identical Twins]]: 17 is a brunet while 18 is blonde, but they do look alike at least in facial features. * [[Heel Face Turn]]: For both of them, although 17 later undergoes a [[Face Heel Turn]] as a result of [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] in ''GT'' (but he gets better). * [[Hero-Killer]]: Future Androids 17 and 18 killed all the Z fighters of their timeline except for Trunks. * [[Lovable Rogue~~\|Lovable Rogues~~]]s * [[Evil Is Not a Toy\|Lovable Rogue is Not a Toy]]: As Dr. Gero explicitly finds out several times courtesy of 17. * [[Mook Horror Show]]: The two future Androids are subjected to this by Future Trunks when he gets back. Line 539 ⟶ 538: * [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: Until Cell absorbs them. * [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: The future versions of 17 and 18 take type B of this to its darkest logical extreme, going on random mass murdering sprees over the course of 20 years and ''actually keeping score of the kills''. * [[The Runaway~~\|The Runaways~~]]s: It's heavily implied they were this prior to getting kidnapped and experimented on by Dr. Gero. * [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Android 17 is the red oni and Android 18 is the blue oni. * [[The Starscream]]: For Dr. Gero. '''Android 17 (人造人間十七号; ''Jinzou Ningen Juunana-Gou'')''' {{quote\| '''Android 17 voiced by:''' [[Shigeru Nakahara]] (Japanese), [[Ted Cole]] (Ocean dub). [[Chuck Huber]] (Funimation dub)}} * [[Adult Child]]/[[Psychopathic Manchild]]: He intends to fight Goku just to "have fun", intentionally decides to not ask Krillin where Goku is as well to waste time driving instead of flying straight there all because it's "part of the game", has a tendency to go off in terms of a shortcut just because he thinks its fun, and actually treated holding up some hunters as being like a game, claiming they won. The last part was justified, however, as he was trying to get them to contribute to Goku's spirit bomb. Line 551 ⟶ 550: * [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In GT. * [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: About as frequently as Vegeta, too. * [[Jerkass]]: Future Android 17. Both Androids of the future are callous, selfish bastards, but Android 17's antics even manage to upset Android 18. For example, Android 18 decided to spare the life of a shop owner because he was nice to her, but even after hearing that, Android 17 killed the shop owner by blowing up his store. Later, Android 18 is shown to be very upset because Android 17 killed a boy she liked. Android 18 even says that Android 17 goes out of his way to destroy everything she likes. The Future Android 17 also appears to be considerably more bloodthirsty than Future Android 18, as while Android 18 will eventually grow bored of all the destruction the two of them are always causing, Android 17 can't seem to have enough of it. * [[Put Onon a Bus]]: In the manga, 17 was never seen again after being absorbed by Cell other than a brief cameo towards the end of the Buu Saga, giving Goku energy for the Spirit Bomb against Kid Buu. ** [[The Bus Came Back]]: In ''[[Dragon Ball GT ~~(Anime)~~\|GT]]'' where he becomes a new villain as Super 17.

Millions of years later, he returned to Earth when Bibidi's son, Babidi, sought to revive Majin Buu and enlisted Goku's, Gohan's, Vegeta's, Kuririn's and Piccolo's help to stop him.
