DragonBall GT
Baby Saga: Ten years after the end of DragonBall Z, Son Goku gets turned into a child again by a wish Pilaf made. The only way Son Goku can get back in his normal state is by finding the Black Star DragonBalls scattered across space. Son Goku, Pan, and Trunks go on journeys battling minor villans. At one planet, the DragonBall gang stumbles across Baby. Baby sneaks on board and lands on Earth. Baby takes over bodies in hope of finding a good host. Baby first uses Goten and Gohan as hosts, but he finally finds the most powerful host, it is Vegeta! Vegeta now turns into Baby-Vegeta. A great battle between Son Goku and Vegeta begins. It turns out Son Goku is no match for Baby-Vegeta. Then Kaiousin pulls out Son Goku's tail, hoping he can go into Oozaru stage. It works, but Son Goku still cannot defeat Bebi-Vegeta, who now is Super Bebi (Oozaru Bebi-Vegeta). Then something weird happens, Son Goku takes control of his body now and transforms into SSJ4 Son Goku! Son Goku soon defeats Super Bebi. (Note: Babi-Vegeta can also turn to SSJ4). Super A 17 & Evil Shenlong Sagas: In hell, Dr. Gero and Myuu creates Artifical 17. Artifical 17 comes from Hell to fuse with Android #17, when they fused, they became Super 17. Son Goku gets tricked into going to hell to fight Cell and Freeza, who was already dead. Without Son Goku, the earth is doomed. Piccolo, (who died in the Baby Saga) and Dende creates a portal so Son Goku can get out of hell. Son Goku later kills Super 17. When the DragonBalls are gathered to wish back the people killed in battle something goes wrong. Shenlong says that with all the negative energy the DragonBalls have restored, seven evil dragons have been formed. Each dragon possess a DragonBall, so Son Goku and the Z fighters go off to fight the evil dragons. When they come up agains Li, SSJ4 Son Goku fuses with... SSJ4 Vegeta! Making SSJ4 Gogeta. He beats the stuff out of him with ease. But Gogeta's fusion span was shortened because of the 4th stage of Super Saiyan. They can only stay fused for 20 min instead of 30 min. Just when Gogeta was about to finish Li, he diffuses. But the 2 warriors eventually killed the worn out Li. When all seven dragons have been defeated, the real Shenlong appears and grants Son Goku one wish, the wish is that everyone killed in battle against the dragons to be brought back to life. Shenlong tells Son Goku to get on his back, then the seven dragonballs are absorbed into Son Goku, and his whole body vanishes, leaving only his clothe on the ground. Seems that Son Goku is the most powerful fighter in the universe to have the DragonBalls absorbed.


The Family Tree
Saiya-jin Information/Stages
Saiya-jins are an extraordinary, barbarous and powerful race. (Note: In Japanese, "jin" means people; so that means that saiya-jin are "Saiya people") Their sole purpose in life was to fight and survive. At the beginning of the Dragonball series, we learn that they lived on Planet Plant. They shared this planet with a race called tsufuru-jin. The tsufuru-jins were an advanced race with many cities and highly-advanced technology. Their technology allowed them to fight against the naturally strong saiya-jins. The saiya-jins were strong savages who lived in wastelands attacking the tsufuru-jins at times. Because the saiya-jins had the natural ability of fighting using their bare hands, they were a force to be reckoned on. Fortunately for the tsufuru-jins, they were able to defend their planet with their technologies. Then, one night on the full moon, all the saiya-jins who had been exposed to the light of the full moon, underwent the change into Oozaru (Giant Ape) and easily crushed the tsufuru-jins out of existence. From then on the planet was called Planet Vegeta.

The saiya-jins used some of the tsufuru-jin technology to become the strongest race in the universe. The strongest being in the universe, Freeza, an evil creature, used the saiya-jins as mercenaries to take over planets for him and sell them. One day, the saiya-jins got tired of working for Freeza, so the king, King Vegeta, revolted with several of his loyal men. Unfortunately, he was killed along with his men. Freeza then destroyed Planet Vegeta in one giant blast, along with the entire saiya-jin race. Only a few saiya-jins survived, including Kakarotto (Goku), Prince Vegeta, Raditzu, Nappa, Taurus, Paragus and Brolli.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Normal) Saiya-jin:
This is the typical appearance of a saiya-jin. A normal saiya-jin has black hair, a thick, strong, muscular body, and a unique tail. Saiya-jins have the excellent natural fighting ability that causes them to consume a great amount of calories daily. In order to provide these calories, they eat a lot. Goku, a low-class saiya-jin, consumes about 10 times the appetite a normal human would eat daily. Compared to humans, saiya-jins are extremely strong. Even when hit by a Bulma's car in the beginning of the Dragonball series, Goku was not hurt. He immediately stood up after he was hit.









Saiya-jins have the super ability of changing (upgrading) to stronger forms, as described below:

Super Saiya-jin

Description: Freeza's worst fear... the Super Saiya-jin. This level is a legend early in Dragonball Z, but eventually becomes a natural form. Goku is the second person to ever reach this level, but is the first one we ever see doing it. When reaching this level the Saiya-jin's hair turns goldish blond, the eye's turn green, and his power level rises greatly. The Legendary SSJ mentioned throughout the series is Brolli. Super Saiya-jin are supposed to be ruthless killing machines, but we see that the Saiya-jin's personality barely changes after the transformation. The Super Saiya-jin level is triggered by emotional rage (usually). It can only be reached by someone with a pure heart of good or evil. Once reached the status of super saiya-jin, the Saiya-jin can go SSJ at will.

Those who achieved this form: Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten and Brolli




Ultra Super Saiya-jin

Description: This stage is between SSJ and SSJ 2. During this stage the Saiya-jin's muscles greatly increase in size. The Saiya-jin becomes very strong, but also very slow. Attacks would do a lot of damage, but it is unlikely to hit the opponent. When Goku and his son, Gohan were training in the Room of Gravity and Time during the Cell saga, Goku demonstrated this stage to Gohan, and told him that it was useless because of it's drawback of making a saiya-jin usually slow. This stage's disadvantage is demonstrated as Trunks fights Cell and is beaten.

Those who achieved this form: Goku, Mirai Trunks, Brolli, Vegeta





Super Saiya-jin 2

Description: This stage was first reached by Gohan while fighting Evil Cell in the Cell Game. This stage is very much like the first Super Saiya-jin stage, but of course much stronger. Occasionally, the Saiya-jin who is in the form has electricity going around his body and through it. That's how you can tell the difference between SSJ and SSJ2. Also a Saiya-jin level 2 has slightly longer hair. This level is more superior than ssj level 1 in terms of strength and speed. It is also triggered by extreme rage.

Those who achieved this form: Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, Brolli





Super Saiya-jin 3

Description: Goku is the first and only person besides Gotenks to reach this stage. It is one of the strongest forms in all of Dragonball. You can tell a Saiya-jin is SSJ 3 when they have gold hair like all the other forms before it, and their hair gets really long and full. Also, the Saiya-jin's eyebrows disappear. This level is only achieved through training. After training in Heaven during the period of time after the Cell saga, Goku learned how to transform to ssj3. This form brings more power and speed, but because it uses more energy, a saiya-jin can only stay in this form for a short period of time.

Those who achieved this form: Goku and Gotenks







Super Saiya-jin 4
Description: This stage was made by TOEI Animation and was nothing to do with the original author of Dragonball, Akira Toriyama. During this stage the Saiya-jin's tail grows back. Their eyes turn yellow with a red outline around the eyes. The palm contains a hole that can absorb energy. Their back and most of their body is covered with red fur. The hair stays black, but gets long, not as long as SSJ 3. And again the Saiya-jin gets unbelievably powerful. Goku is the only real person to reach this level, but Buruma creates a device that turns Vegeta into a SSJ 4 also. This form is triggered by extreme rage, anger and sorrow.

Those who achieved this form: Goku and Vegeta




Oozaru

Description: When a Saiya-jin with a tail is exposed to pure moonlight (from any moon) he turns into a gigantic 20-foot tall, ape-like creature. The Saiya-jin's power level is increased ten times when turning Oozaru (Oozaru is the Japanese word for "Big Monkey") Saiya-jin's used this form to take over planets for Freeza. This form is possibly the most powerful form under SSJ level 3. All saiya-jins, except Goku and Gohan were able to control themselves during this form.

Those who achieved this form: Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and other saiyans that took over planets for Freeza




Ougon Oozaru (Golden Oozaru)

Description: This stage is much like the regular Oozaru stage except that the fur is golden not brown and it's of course much stronger. This is also made by TOEI. To reach this stage a Saiya-jin must have a tail and must receive more waves from the moonlight. The only ones to ever reach this stage was Goku and Bebi Vegeta during Dragonball GT. Vegeta reached it while Bebi was inside of him and attacked his friends. He was eventually defeated by Goku.

Those who achieved this form: Goku and Bedi-Vegeta.

Dragonball Z Attacks List
Here are a list of the attacks used in DBZ. Some have Japanese names either due to an English one not being created yet, or because there is more than one attack with the same English name.

12 Eyes
This is a technique used by Tien where he splits himself into four different entities. Each Tien entity created can fight and be attacked. The only problem with this move is that each of the four entities of Tien only has a quarter of the power and the speed than if there was only the one original Tien. Later in the series Piccolo and Cell learn how to use this move also.

Big Bang Attack
A huge bolt of incredible destructive power, used only by Vegeta. In fact it was one of the first attacks Vegeta developed as a Super Saiyan. He holds one palm flat, directs it out towards his enemy and then launches the devastating blast. It is the way that he finishes many opponents off.

Body Change
The leader of the Ginyu Force, Captain Ginyu, uses this attack. He spreads his limbs out, and then shouts "Change Now!" shooting out a bolt of energy, and when contact is made with his target, he changes bodies with that person. After that he gains the strength and speed of his target, but not his own special techniques. After changing bodies, Ginyu can still do yet another Body Change if he should choose to. It is first introduced to DBZ in the fight between Captain Ginyu and Goku.

Burning Attack
This is Future Trunks' trademark attack. After coming back from the future, during the battle with Frieza, he first introduces this awesome manoeuvre. He holds out both hands forward, index fingers and thumbs touching, and then unleashes a powerful energy blast. This is the attack that finally killed off Frieza for good.

Chou KameHameHa
This is almost an exact replica of the KameHameHa, but with a couple of differences. It is far more powerful, and is capable of causing more extreme amounts of damage. The downside is that it takes far longer to charge up, and cna in fact take a toll on your body. It also uses a lot more energy, meaning you can't maintain it for as long as a regular KameHameHa. This is outdated as the series goes on though, with bigger and better attacks such as the Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb) being learnt.

Crusher Ball
An attack performed by Jeice, a member of the elite fighting squad known as the Ginyu Force, the crusher ball contains an awful lot of power. It is a large ball, about the size of a basketball, which is bright in tone, and orange in colour. Jeice balances this on one hand, then throws it at his opponent. This is his special attack, and we see him use it against Goku, narrowly missing, but causing enough distraction for Ginyu to gain the upper hand.

Death Ball
This is a small ball of energy that Frieza can create from either the tip of his finger or with both hands. While small, it is very powerful, and can even destroy planets. In fact he used this attack to destroy both Planet Namek and Planet Vegeta (Goku’s home planet). He also attempts to destroy Planet Earth with this monstrous technique, but is soon to be prevented by Future Trunks.

Destructo Disk
This in my own personal opinion, is one of the most effective attacks in the whole DBZ series. It is a flat, disc-shaped energy blast, which can be used to slice through its target with deadly accuracy. Krillin was the first person to have ever possessed this incredible technique, and has the skill to control the destination of the attack as well. He would have killed the almighty Nappa, during the battle with the Saiyans on Earth, if it weren’t for Vegeta warning Nappa at the last moment not to touch it. Krillin also uses this attack to slice off Frieza’s tail during the battle on Namek. Many other DBZ characters like Vegeta, Frieza, Cell and Android 18 have their own variations of the “Destructo Disk”.

Eye Laser
This is an attack which can prove very useful to the user. The attacker concentrates his or her energy, then lets loose with two compact beams, one from each eye. The strength of the beams is dependant on that of the user, but it tends to be powerful enough to finish off opponents of approximately the same strength. The first time we see anyone using this is when Piccolo does it whilst training Gohan. It doesn't cause any damage to him, but that's because Piccolo purposely made it weak. Frieza can also use this technique.

Gannet Gun
The Gannet Gun is basically Vegeta's answer to the Kamehameha. He powers up the blast exactly like the Kamehameha, but when he releases the blast, his hands are both palm-forward. It truly looks quite awesome, but not quite enough to beat Goku’s Kamehameha in the Saiyan Saga.

Genki Dama
One of Goku's most powerful techniques, which he learned from King Kai while training in the “Next Dimension”. The Genki Dama (Or Goku's Spirit Bomb in English) is a large ball of energy gathered from every living life source in the local surroundings, which lend him their energy. However, the main weakness that this attack possesses is that it takes a lot of time to gather the energy for a Genki Dama. Whilst he sticks his arms up in the air, preparing to receive all of this energy, Goku is defenseless and open to attack.

Instantaneous Movement
This is one of Goku's most popular techniques, one that essentially allows him to teleport to any place where he can sense KI. He learnt this whilst on Yardrat, after Namek had exploded. He uses this a lot in the series, and in films too, as it proves a useful ally to him.

Kaioken

Taught to him by King Kai whilst training in the “Next Dimension”, this is primarily a power-up move. When Goku uses this technique, he flares up and gains a large boost to his speed and power. Goku can also use this as multiplied power to his Kaioken. At first, he shouldn't have been able to go past 2 x Kaioken without seriously endangering himself, as warned by King Kai, but eventually can increase the power of the Kaioken to around a 20 x Kaioken.

Kakusandan
Krillen used This technique during the fight with the Saibamen. He shoots a blast from each hand, controlling the blasts so that they merge and then directs it above the heads of his enemies. Thereupon he splits the blast again into many smaller ki bolts that rain down upon his enemies. A very effective technique which wiped out virtually all of the Saibaimen.

KameHameHa
The Kamehameha is a technique created by Master Roshi. It is a huge blast, which is charged up, and held behind the firer in cupped hands, then brought forward to release a large blast of energy. Goku later develops the ability to control the direction of the blast, shoot one from his feet, or with a single hand. He almost defeated Vegeta with this awesome attack, with the help of a little Kaioken. His son Gohan also learns to use this powerful move, as does Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Goten, Cell, Cell Junior and Majin-Buu.

Kikouhou
The user places his hands to form a triangular shape, and then concentrates enough energy to power it up. He/She then rains down on the opponent with blasts of incredible power. It is used by Tien, and is his more powerful attack. The major downside to it though, is that because of its sheer strength, it drains the life force of the user, with the possibility of killing him/her. As long as the user stays alive though, they can fire as many Kikouhou's as they wish.

Masenko
This is Gohan's trademark energy blast, and is fairly powerful. Gohan powers up a blast over his head with both his hands, one palm behind the other, then brings his hands down in front of him to fire the blast. He uses this move fairly often in Dragon Ball Z.

One-Finger Beam
A fast, sharp cutting beam shop out of one finger, used by Frieza. This beam contains amazing power for its demeaning size, and can slice through almost anything. Cell also uses this attack, due to knowing all Frieza's techniques, and kills Trunks with it. Frieza managed to kill Vegeta and Trunks with his attack, although it wasn't strong enough to so much as hurt SSJ Goku.

Racoome Boom
Essentially a mouth beam, this attack is performed by the showoff member of the Ginyu Force - Racoome. He opens his mouth wide, and emits a blast of incredible power, capable of destroying much of the landscape. It is his most powerful attack, and almost kills Vegeta upon him using it. If he would have got a hit, it would have certainly finished the Saiyan off.

Renzoku Energy Dan
A machine gun KI attack, used by pretty much anyone who knows how to form balls or beams of energy. It is fairly powerful, especially if the defender is caught off guard, as many beams can be fired home, and the ones that hit have more power than the last. It is good as a distraction tactic too, firing a few of them before charging up a really big attack to finish it off. The disadvantage is that this attack can take its toll on the attacker, due to the large energy drain.

Solar Flare
This technique is originally Tien’s. The user puts his hands in front of his face, says "Solar Flare," and lights up very bright, so much that he blinds his opponent. This technique was used a lot throughout Dragon Ball Z. Tien taught this move to both Goku and Krillin, which comes in handy during the fight with the Saiyans.

Special Beam Cannon
This is certainly Piccolo’s most powerful move in the whole series. A pair of penetrating blasts from two fingers, one going straight into contact, whilst the other coils around the first for drilling power. This thunderous attack can go through anything it hits, and eventually blows up when it hits something big enough. Cell and Cell Junior also learn how to use this devastating technique.

Spirit Bomb
An attack used by Yamcha, which isn't even close to having the power that Goku's possesses. It is far quicker to charge up though, and doesn't feed off the energy of the planet. We first see this used when Yamcha was in the room of Spirit and Time, fighting against some Saiyans. He gathered the energy in one hand, held onto his wrist with the other, and let rip with the beam, which didn't cause too much damage.

Time Freeze
One of the best attacks ever used in DBZ, Time Freeze completely stops time for as long as the caster can hold their breath. This is usually about half a minute. Whilst this attack is up, the user may use any energy attacks that he/she wants to, and annihilate their opponent. Guldo is the only one whom we see use this, and he doe sit very effectively, using it to get himself out of trouble. It is one of his special moves.

Zanzoken
This is a technique used by all of the powerful warriors. They move so fast that they leave an after image behind, making it look like they are somewhere else. The most famous use of this is probably when Goku did it to avoid Frieza's cutting disc attack. It allows the user to attack from another point, catching the enemy unawares


Number 18
Dragonball Z/GT Deaths
Here are all the deaths that have happened in the series of Dragonball Z, and some from Dragonball. Obviously we can only write as many deaths as we have witnessed, so this section will grow within time. In some cases, people haven't died, but have been sealed away, etc. I count this as something as close to death as you will get, and have added it. I have stated what the situation is with these cases though.

The deaths from Future Trunks' alternate timeline or in yellow. The characters who only died in movies have a star next to them.

Piccolo
Dragonball Z Ki
This section will tell you everything that you would ever need to know about ki. Unlike most sites where they provide a two-line equation that they have made up on how ki is sensed, we bring you detailed facts. Anyway, enjoy reading through them.

Ki Attacks
A ki attack is an energy beam, or ball, which is made by the attacker. The different attacks require different techniques to do. Most of them require great concentration, and arm movements which are very complicated. Different warriors tend to have their own signature attacks, such as the KameHameHa, Kai-o-kan, Spirit Bomb, Masenko, etc. The attacks can be used in battle, or be used to boost yourself up as you fall to the ground, should that scenario ever arise. ki can be used to dry off clothes, light fires, emit heat, and other things along those lines. To use a ki attack, you first must gather energy, and the more powerful you are, the faster you can do it.

Sensing Ki
Some people can sense ki without the use of any high-tech equipment. They close their eyes, look in the general direction of the power that they hope to sense, and try their best to feel it out. To sense the power, they must be searching for the approximate range that the power would go in, because if they search too high for example, they wouldn't be able to sense people with low power levels, such as people near to death. This is the primary requisite of many warriors, as they can sense how strong their opponents are. The problem with this is that you can't get the exact power, but can usually tell whether it is stronger, or weaker than your own though. The advantage is that it doesn't cost anything, unlike the expensive scouters. Using this method, they can dodge enemy attacks by sensing for their ki. Most humans, and Earthlings can use this skill, as can Vegeta, as he learned it from them. Most of the evil people are unable to use this ability though, because no one has taught it them, or they haven't picked up on it.

Scouters
This is another of reading ki levels. The scouter can measure the exact power level of anyone. All you have to do is focus it onto someone, and press a few buttons. It gives you a read out of the power level, and any special skills that this species of creature may have. The scouters fit like an earpiece, and go over the eye. Most have a type of green glass display screen. If it reads a power level that is either increasing faster than it can handle, or is too large for it to handle, then it makes a small explosion, causing the wearer to have to take it off, suffering no harm. Scouters are expensive though, and there is a fairly limited supply, meaning that once they get destroyed, it can be hard to get hold of another one immediately. Another function of the scouter is as a communication device. People can talk into them, transmitting their voice to others, even if they are on the other side of the galaxy. Scouters are probably better than using your senses.

Hiding ki
A select group of people are able to hide their ki, so it seems that they are a lot less powerful than they really are. This is a skill that Earthlings really excel in, and can be useful for throwing enemies off, and making them underestimate you. Vegeta has managed to master this, along with the Earthlings, as he has been a witness of them doing this, and managed to pick up on it. This technique has been utilized many times, and has fooled even the most intelligent enemies.
