Good Guys Continued
GokuGoku is the hero of Dragon Ball Z, the
most powerful warrior on earth and the
first to become Super Saiyan in over 1000
years. When the Saiyans arrive, Goku
learns the mysterious secret of his own
past: He is a Saiyan formerly named
Kakarot. Goku was sent to Earth as a
baby to grow up and destroy the planet,
but a head injury as a child scrambled
Goku’s programming. Instead of growing
up to become a destructive super-warrior,
he became innocent and pure of heart,
fighting for good. Goku is peaceful, good
natured, honest, loving to his family and
friends, loyal, trustworthy, brave. If he has
a weakness, it is his trusting nature. He
always finds the "good" in people when others don't see it, though Goku’s
enemies sometimes take advantage of his
naive trust. He originally trained under
Master Roshi and wears his symbol until
he trains under King Kai. Then he wears
King Kai's symbol. Goku grows up and
marries Chi-Chi. Together they have two
sons: Gohan and (in a future episode)
Goten. ATTACKS: KAMEHAMEHA - an
energy attack launched with both hands
from his side, taught by Master Roshi
KAIO-KEN - boosts power level turning
Goku red-hot, taught by King Kai SPIRIT
BOMB - an enormous attack drawing
energy from all living things, taught by
King Kai.GotenGoten is the second son of Goku and
Chi-Chi, and is Gohan’s little brother.
Goten loves to train in martial arts. He
quickly develops incredibly strong powers
(he just naturally goes Super Saiyan) that
enable him to fight alongside the adults in
their mission to defend earth.
Goten’s best friend is Trunks who is
approximately one year older. They are
often seen together. Goten goofs around
when he fights, especially when fused
with Trunks as Gotenks, where he makes
up countless silly-named attacks.
Pure of heart, he’ll quickly jump into
danger to help his friends and family.GotenksGoten and Trunks form this new entity by
the Metamoru art of Fusion, which was
taught to Goku and is passed on to Goten
and Trunks while Goku is back from the
Other World. The fusion must occur
between two beings of equal power
(Trunks has to lower his power level to
fuse with Goten), and is accomplished by
a goofy looking, mirror-image dance. This
type of fusion only lasts 30 minutes, and
they must recuperate for one hour before
fusing again.
Goten and Trunks are first trained in the
art of Fusion by Goku and then by
Piccolo. They try several times before getting it right, creating two awkwardly
formed Gotenks in the beginning. Once
perfected, the fused Gotenks is an
incredibly powerful fighter. Like Goten and
Trunks, Gotenks has an amazing ability
to learn moves quickly, and quickly
manages to go to Super Saiyan and even
Super Saiyan 3 or third stage Super
Saiyan after watching Goku do it once.Grand KaiThe Grand Kai rules over the four Kai’s.
He is second only to Supreme Kai as the
overseer of the entire universe. He is also
the overseer of the Other World
tournament. Grand Kai is reputed as the
greatest fighter in the universe, but he’s
been out of training for centuries.Great SaiyamanThe Grand Kai rules over the four Kai’s.
He is second only to Supreme Kai as the
overseer of the entire universe. He is also
the overseer of the Other World
tournament. Grand Kai is reputed as the
greatest fighter in the universe, but he’s
been out of training for centuries.KibitoHe is the loyal body guard of Supreme
Kai. A strong fighter, he’s lived a long
time, though he’s not as old as Supreme
Kai. He has the ability to transport himself
and others to any other part of the
universe. He also has the power to heal
those who are injured or near death.King KaiLiving in the 'Next Dimension,' King Kai is
known throughout the universe as one of
the greatest fighters and martial arts
teachers (although his teaching methods
are rather unorthodox). His house is on a
tiny planet at the end of Snake Way. The
small planet has ten times the gravity of
Earth, and is thus an ideal training site.
His companions include a goofy monkey
named Bubbles and a grasshopper named
Gregory. King Kai possesses a
humorous, corny sense of humor (he's
always telling jokes or puns) as well as
great wisdom. Fortunately for our friends,
he can communicate telepathically, giving
them good advice and warnings in critical
situations. Goku trained under King Kai
and now wears his symbol. Yamcha,
Chiaotzu, Tien, and Piccolo also train
under King Kai when they are sent to the
'Next Dimension.' When Goku seeks King
Kai in the 'Next Dimension,' King Kai
begins his training by having Goku catch
Bubbles - no easy task with an energetic
monkey and a gravity ten times the force
of earth's. Goku catches Bubbles after only three months. His next task is to hit
Gregory the grasshopper with a hammer.
Goku, impressively, performs this task in
three weeks. Only after these tasks
increasing Goku's strength and speed,
does Kai begin the personal training of
Goku. In the 118 days left before the
Saiyan's return, Kai teaches Goku the
'Kaio-ken' and how to gather energy from
the planet into one great fighting energy
ball. Later King Kai takes on the training
of Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo
using the same techniques that were
successful with Goku. KrillinAs a young boy, Krillin studied martial
arts with Goku under Master Roshi.
Originally he and Goku were fierce rivals,
but now they are best friends. A short,
bald warrior, Krillin provides comic relief in
tense situations as he tries to keep up
with Goku and some of the other more
powerful warriors. A good fighter on his
own accord, he's always there to help
Goku. He can and has saved his friend's
life more than once. In fact, Krillin
unleashes an incredibly powerful energy
blast shaped like a flying disk that can
slice through mountaintops. Goku
constantly encourages Krillin to have
confidence in his own abilities as Krillin
learns to be a remarkable fighter--that is,
for an earthling. Loyal, courageous and
dedicated to his friends, Krillin is willing to
fight against the Saiyans even though he
doesn't want to die and knows that he
can't be brought back to life again by the
Dragon Balls. Krillin and Gohan become
very close friends through their adventures
on Earth and Namek, and Krillin would do
anything for Gohan.TienTien is a three-eyed man intent on training
to be strong. Originally trained by one of
Master Roshi's rivals, Tien switched sides
and became a Z fighter. He beat Goku at
a worldwide martial arts tournament, is
able to stop a waterfall with a blast and
can crush rocks on his head. His fighting
techniques include the ability to hover in
the air, throw concentration bombs, blind
with flashes of light, and split into two or
four separate entities. Tien is excited
about being trained by Kami and willing to
fight against the Saiyans despite the
odds. He volunteers to be the first to fight
against the Saibamen, wins the battle and
goes on to fight against the Saiyans. Tien can communicate telepathically with
Chiaotzu, his best friend.TrunksTrunks is the son of Bulma, a headstrong
technical genius, and Vegeta, one of the
most powerful fighters in the Dragon Ball Z
universe. His exact age is not certain, but
he first appears in Dragon Ball Z in his
mid to late teens. He is from the future
and has witnessed a threat to Earth which
cannot be stopped in that time. He has
come back in time to try to save the Earth
of his time, only to find our heroes in
Earth facing their own peril. Much to the
amazement of our friends, Trunks
immediately turns Super Saiyan and
defeats Frieza and King Cold. He gives
Goku medicine to prevent his death from
heart disease and tells them of Earth's
coming predicament. The Z fighters
immediately go into training, and Trunks
returns to his own time. Trunks returns to
our timeline again in the Android Saga to
ensure that the androids do arrive on Earth. He is also born during this saga, so
we have the opportunity to see him both
as a teenager and a baby at the same
time. He continues to exist as a boy and
a teen until the end of the Cell Saga,
when the older Trunks returns to his
original timeline.page 1/page 2/page 3
