Paikuhan
West Kaio-sama's best student, Paikuhan battles his way to the final round with Goku in the Anoyoichi Budoukai. Nearly Goku's match, he is eventually defeated. Paikuhan is a collected individual, and rarely shows anger. He makes a cameo in movie #12, where he is given the task of cursing at Janemba's giant jelly prison to free Enma-sama and the rest of Heaven.
Pan
Pan, also known as Pan-Chan, is Goku's granddaughter. She is the most powerful female in all of Dragonball. Pan is 1/4 Saiyajin, and she is Gohan and Videl's daughter. Pan is very adventurous, and can get into trouble, usually with Trunks and Chibi Goku. Trunks, Goku, and Pan go everywhere together, she is the little sister they never had.
Paragas
The father of Brolli, Paragas is saved by his infant son's latent powers when Planet Vegeta is obliterated. Only an average warrior, he relies on his brain-washed son for protection. He asks Vegeta to rule "New Vegeta," thus occupying our prince Saiya-jin and masking Paragas' true plan of universal domination.
Piccolo
The Piccolo in the DBZ series is the sole offspring of Piccolo-Daimao from the original. Like his father, his intentions are evil. However, when Raditsu threatens the Earth, he turns to the side of good and helps Goku. He later trains Gohan, and the kid helps Piccolo become a good, well-meaning person. Capable of regenerating body parts and manipulating his size and shape, Piccolo is a formidable fighter.
Piccolo-Daimao
When Kami looks to become Earth's next God, he has to purge himself of all evil. Through a great personal battle, the Namek splits into two creatures: one good, one evil. The evil half becomes Piccolo-Daimao, a power-hungry being who craves destruction. Sharing Kami's life-force, he is unable to kill his twin without erasing his own existance. Piccolo-Daimao becomes Goku's primary adversary after the Red Ribbon Army is wiped out. When he is defeated, the evil creature coughs up a single egg, passing his life essence (and spiritual bonds) to it.
Pilaf
Greedy and Childish, Emperor Pilaf only wants one thing: to rule the world. Using his wealth, he creates machines and fortresses which he uses to find and safeguard the Dragon Balls. Although he does come very close on many occaisions, Pilaf never is able to get his wish granted to become ruler of the Earth.
Mr. Po Po
Kami's best friend and assistant. Although he does not look like much, 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.
Porunga
Porunga is the Eternal Dragon of the Namekian Dragon Balls. His first appearance is in Dragon Ball Z during the Furiza Saga, when he is summoned by Dende, Gohan, and Kuririn. He is a fantastically massive, muscular dragon with the power to grant three wishes as opposed to one wish like Shenlon.
Puar
Yamcha's pet and close friend, Puar aids him in robbing people that cross their desert. Unlike Oolong, who can only shape-shift for 5 minutes, Puar can change for as long as he wants (He graduated shape-shifting school). Like Oolong however, his power does not increase when he has changed into another form. Even with the ability to fly (another skill Oolong lacks), Puar is normally just on the sidelines when a fight breaks out.
Raditsu
The weakest of the surviving Saiyajins, he is ordered to check on Goku and see why Earth was not ready to be sold yet. Finding that Goku had forgotten his mission, he kidnapps Gohan. Although at that time Raditz's power level is greater then that of Goku or Piccolo, his ignorance makes allows him to be defeated.
Rikum
Large and well-built, Rikum has great physical strength. Fairly slow moving, he can be taken on by a faster, smaller opponent quite easily. Intelligent, witty, and head-strong, Rikum is always willing to fight.
Rou Dai Kaioshin
A Dai Kaioshin from many generations before DBZ takes place, Rou Dai Kaioshin is released from the Zet sword to give Gohan a power upgrade. Like many figure heads with power in Dragon Ball, he is a pervert, and only agrees to aid Gohan if he gets to touch Buruma. He later gives up his life so that Goku may live again.
Shenron
Shenron is the eternal dragon of the Earth Dragon Balls. He is summoned many times throughout the Dragon Ball series. Shenron is the dragon responsible for granting many pivotal wishes in the series, including: Oolong's wish for women's panties; restoration of Piccolo-Daimao's full power; revival of Goku for the fight with Vegita and Nappa; Buruma's wish to revive the people killed by Majin Vegita; and the revival of Bora. Shenron splits into the seven Evil beings in the Evil Shenron Saga of Dragon Ball GT. He merges with Goku at the end of GT, granting him ultimate power.
Slug
Slug is the main villain in Dragonball Z movie four. Unlike Piccolo, he did not split into two beings when his spirit was tainted, and became pure evil. Slug is very old at the beginning of the movie, but becomes young again when his wish is fulfilled by the Dragon Balls. When he takes some damage from the Z warriors, he reveals his ultimate form. Slug becomes a giant Namek comparable in size to an Oozaru. Like most movie villains, the Z warriors kill him off.
Super Buu
Super Buu comes into existance after Thin Buu eats his Fat adversary in chocolate form. Since Fat Buu is imprisoned within this new being's body rather than sharing it, his personality does not have as much influence over the host. This is a much nastier Majin Buu. Super Buu eventually absords Piccolo, Gotenks, and Gohan. As you can see, he possesses an innumerable list of techniques from his acquisitions (Obviously, he does not use all of them in the series).
Tapion
Possessed by the demon Hildegarn, Tapion is a master with his sword. His strength is nothing when compared to Goku, but he unobjectionally sacrifices his freedom in order to keep Hildegarn at bay. Tapion is strikingly similar to Link from "Ocarina of Time," right down to the sword and ocarina. The blade that he wields is handed down to Trunks after Hildegarn is vanquished (Yes, the continuity makes no sense, but hey, this is one of the movies we are talking about here)
Tares
Little is known of Tares' origins, other than the fact that he is a Saiya-jin, and looks an awful lot like Goku. He could be his brother, a cousin, or even a clone; it is still unknown to this day. He comes to the earth with his cronies in movie #3 and plants the Shinseiju (Tree of Might in the dub) to sap the Earth's life force for himself. Tares admires Gohan, and even attempts to force him into servitude. Like all movie villains, he is eventually vanquished by the Z warriors.
Tenshinhan
Tenshinhan is Chaozu's chief bodyguard. His powers revolve around deception and multiplying various body parts. Tenshinhan is the developer of numerous techniques such as the Taiyoken and Kikoho. The "three-eyed man", even though he makes few appearances later on, still plays a decent roll in Dragonball. THAT'S MY BOY!
Thin Buu
When two thugs shoot Mr. Satan in the heart, Fat Buu releases his evil, forming his opposite, Thin Buu. A being of pure evil, it is identical to its innocent counterpart in all but appearance. This form does not last very long, as Thin Buu soon devours his better half.
Trunks
Trunks is the first child of Vegita and Bulma. There are two Trunks' in the DB universe: Future Trunks and Chibi Trunks. "Future Trunks" comes from a parallel universe 14 years in the future where evil androids rule the Earth. He goes back in time after the death of Furiza to prepare the Z warriors for the androids' arrival. So as not to prevent his own birth, he tells no one of his heritage, except Goku. "Chibi Trunks" is born a little before Future Trunks returns to his own time. He likes to hang out with Goten and they are very good friends. When he and Goten are together, he has a tendency to get them in trouble. Trunks is also sad that he does not have a brother like Goten does (Gohan). Trunks has purple hair and displays extreme levels of power, he reaches Super Saiya-jin when he is eight. Despite Trunks' ability to get Goten and himself in trouble, he means well.
Uubu
Uubu is the good-hearted human reincarnation of Majin Buu. He inherits Mr. Satan's title of World's Greatest Fighter, and faces Goku at the 28th Tenkaichi Budoukai. At first, he appears not to have any great power, but Goku enrages him and he begins to fight with tremendous strength, to the point that he actually hurts Goku with a kick to the arm and strike to the chest. Goku trains with him for several years after the tournament, and he plays a fairly large role in DBGT.
Vegeta
Born on the planet bearing his own name, Vegita has the bloodline to become a super-elite Saiya-jin. A henchman of Furiza, he is regarded as one of the greatest fighters in the universe. Along with Goku, Radditz, and Nappa, Vegita is one of the only Saiya-jins to survive the destruction of his homeworld. He is extremely jealous of Goku's superior fighting ability, and actually helps him from time to time so that he still has someone to compete with. Vegita craves nothing more than ultimate power until the very end of DBZ.
Vegeta Jr.
Making a cameo in the very last episode of DBGT, Vegita Jr. battles Goku Jr. in a futuristic arena. Like Goku, he is also able to attain SSJ.
Vegita Ou
King Vegita is the father of the Saiya-jin bearing the same name. Unlike most Saiya-jin parents, he does not send his son to a distant world at birth, and fosters the boorish and stubborn Vegita we all know and love. Although he is one of the strongest warriors on Planet Vegita, Vegita Ou is killed by Furiza rather easily.
Vegitto
With the use of the Potara earrings, Vegita and Goku become Vegitto. Although he is not as arrogant as Gotenks, he does waste a lot of time, and his opponents often take advantage of this. The fusion is supposed to be permanent, but the laws of physics change once they enter Kid Buu. Vegitto differs from Gogeta, as Vegita is the dominant form in the fusion.
Videl
Videl is Gohan's girlfriend and attends the same high school as he does. Gohan teaches Videl how to fly and fight, and she often helps the Great Saiyaman in his rounds. Chi-Chi wants Videl to marry her son, and does not hide her intentions. Videl and Gohan everntually marry, and have a baby girl named Pan.
Yajirobe
Although fearful and glutenous, Yajirobe is unsurpassed by anyone in sword control. His blade mastery hardly makes up for his inability to control his Ki or even to fly, yet it does come in handy when all else fails. Living at Karin Tower, he is often the deliverer of Senzu beans to the Z warriors.
Yamcha
Yamcha is first introduced as a desert bandit that robs people as they pass through his wasteland abode. When he comes upon Goku and friends, he finds out about the Dragonballs and tags along so he can make a wish. (He gets very nervous around girls) However, he gets used to Bulma on their journeys, and loses his fear of women. He and Bulma are together for most of Dragonball and half of DBZ. Yamcha does not train much after the encounter with the Saiyajins, yet remains capable fighter. THAT'S MY BOY!
Zarbon
Furiza's right-hand man. He is somewhat of a flamboyant pretty-boy, but has the strength to back it up. Zaabon is extremely powerful, and when he is outmatched, he has the ability to transform into a huge, brutal monster. |
