A duck walks into a bar around lunchtime, sits down and orders a beer and a sandwich.
The bartender looks at him and says, "Oh my God, a talking duck! What are you doing here?"
The duck replies, "I'm dry-walling the building across the street. I'll be in town for a few days."
The next day, the duck walks back into the bar and the bartender says, "Hey duck, I was telling someone about you last night. They're really interested in meeting with you!"
"Is that so?"
"There's a travelling circus in town," the bartender explained.  "The ringmaster was in here last night and thought you'd be a star attraction for them!"
The duck looked puzzled and says, "Why the hell would a circus need a dry-waller?"

A bank robber wanted to keep his identity a secret, but  he forgot to bring his mask. He told everyone in the bank not to look at him or he would shoot them.
One foolhardy customer sneaked a look, and the bank robber did what he said he would... he shot him. The robber asked the crowd if anyone else had seen his face...
One customer, gazing intently at the ground, said "I think my wife got a glimpse."

now a days its so boring . but i am so happy that i got above 64 viewers and i  want more so if you tell me in comment below what you want to see i would do it in this webshow. see yaa

  4. Wayward Souls
  5. Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf – Act 2: Forest Hunt
  6. Leo’s Fortune
  7. CLARC

  9. Sometimes You Die
  10. Hitman Go 
  11. 1. Into the Dead by PIKPOK

    Into the Dead is a somewhat unique take on the classic zombie genre; think Temple Run and The Walking Dead combined. The game looks phenomenal, using minimal color and a bleak setting, the grass and zombies seem to pop off the GS3's display.
    The controls are pretty simple, and you even have a few different sets you can choose from (Tilt, Touch, Thumbstick, Thumbstick Mirrored). I found that Tilt was the most comfortable for me.
    Along the way, you can collect coins and unlock and equip perks that will help you survive the run.
    All in all, Into the Dead is a great, free game that you can seriously play for a long time. Beyond just beating your personal best in survivor mode, you can unlock Massacre and Hardcore modes.

    2. Hungry Shark Evolution by Future Games of London

    Hungry Shark Evolution is an already wildly popular game with millions of downloads, coming from the same folks who brought us Hungry Shark 1, 2, and 3—all really great. Evolution is pretty much the same, where you eat to survive and collect coins and hidden items to level up your shark and EVOLVE.
    You can chose between the recommended Tilt controls or the on-screen Touch thumbsticks, which I preferred.
    Dive into the ocean and obliterate humans, swordfish, and sea turtles while avoiding poisonous jellyfish, WWII mines, and other dangers.
    Sharks aren't just cool during Shark Week people. I thought I was going to be vastly underwhelmed by this game, but I ended up playing it for an hour without even noticing.

    3. Monster Shooter 2 by Gamelion Studios

    Monster Shooter 2 is the sequel to the runaway hit Monster Shooter, and the concept is pretty simple—aliens baddies are trying to destroy the earth—you can't let that happen.
    Utilizing the familiar dual-stick approach, you control DumDum and a massive arsenal of weapons and mech suits to destroy all incoming enemies.
    In addition to the multiplayer social aspect of the game, there is also a co-op option.
    I love co-op games more than anything, and adding this feature is a home run. Why not share the fun with another friend over Wi-Fi to see how far you guys can make it?

    4. Super Stickman Golf 2 by Noodlecake Studios

    Video games are the only place where I can pretend to know what I'm doing when it comes to golf. You give me a power meter and a backspin power up and I'm the closest thing to a virtual Tiger Woods you can find. And that's exactly how I feel with Super Stickman Golf 2.
    After a brief tutorial you can begin shooting for eagles on the front nine.
    The better you score the quicker you level up and unlock cool power-ups and customizable additions to your stickman or stickwoman. There are a ton of levels to beat and bunch of achievements to unlock that'll have you occupied for hours.
    There are a ton of levels to beat and bunch of achievements to unlock that'll have you occupied for hours.

    5. Robot Unicorn Attack 2 by [Adult Swim] Games

    Everyone in America has a weak spot for unicorns, so when the company released multiple commercials featuring the launch of "Unicorn Apocalypse," people were wondered if the game was even real. Turns out the game was real—a real stinker.
    Unicorn Apocalypse was poorly received and removed from Google Play in a matter of weeks, but if you still want your daily unicorn fix, then Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is the game for you.
    It's a classic side-scrolling games that asks you to jump, dash, and glide through very dynamic worlds, collecting fairies and stars along the way.

    6. Dots: A Game About Connecting by Playdots, Inc.

    K.I.S.S. is a term I've heard a lot throughout my years. Keep it simple stupid.If you want something low-key and equally entertaining, then you need to check out Dots. It's like Boggle, but even easier because instead of making words from letters, you just match colored dots instead.
    The game has two modes: Timed (60 seconds) and Moves (30 moves). For each mode you want to create as many connections (2 dots or more) as possible in the given amount of time or moves.
    The games are quick and the connections are endless.
    • Download Dots (free) on Google Play

    7. Squarescape by Noodlecake Studios

    Squarescape is an old-school-style brain teaser and puzzle game that I couldn't stop playing. The object of the game is simple, move the square over the blue dot and exit the level in as few moves as possible.
    The square will go in a selected direction until it hits a wall or other element and can only be moved again once it has stopped. There are tons of levels that get harder to solve, making the game challenging and very addicting.

    8. CSR Racing by NaturalMotionGames

    I would have put this game on the list just because of the unreal graphics;CSR Racing is easily one of the best looking games you will find for your GS3.
    It doesn't stray very far from the standard racing plot, though. You purchase and tune up cars, race against other squads, and take on events to earn cash and experience.
    While the game does look great and is free, you have to grind out tons of races in order to have a car decent enough to continue racing more difficult opponents.
    Plus, when you do finally level up, you only receive ONE coin. For reference, a starter level BMW 1 would cost you 21 coins. I personally would rather pay a few bucks for an app than have the in-game prices so high that it forces people to buy in-app purchases. So, CSR Racing does make my list because it is fun and beautiful, but does have its drawbacks.

    9. Bloons TD Battles by Ninja Kiwi

    I've been obsessed with Bloons since my addiction to Addicting Games in the 8th grade. Bloons TD Battles takes the awesomeness of its original tower defense origins and puts your skills against an online opponent.
    In Assault Mode, you'll need to protect your own tower while sending balloons over to your opponent. In Defensive mode, you'll need to outlast your opponent in an onslaught of balloons. You can connect and play against Facebook friends or start a Quick Match with a random opponent.

    10. Tetris by EA (Electronic Arts)

    I don't think there can be a top ten games list without Tetris. This games has withstood the times with such ease, it's a testament to how fun and addicting Tetris really is.

hello everybody its a sunny day warmth beautiful etc today i am going to tell an emotional story about our mothers which happened in everyones life please do read this. if this is true please do like my blog and we can join hands to save our lives of our mothers . thankyou

This is a touching story that I received from Lovebeats. After reading this, my teardrops fell without I realized. This story reminds me of one of my aunt who has passed away. Her story similar to this story, widow who has to work hard in her life for her children. She also refused to re-marry again, and always gave in for her children. I hope this story will touch your heart like the way it touched me...
"EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER"

The story began when I was a child. I was born as a son of a poor family.
Even for eating, we often got lack of food. Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was removing her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son. I'm not hungry".
That was Mother's First Lie.

When I was getting to grow up, the persevering mother gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped that from the fishes she got, she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth. After fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which raised my appetite. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate. My heart was touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the other fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said "Eat this fish, son. I don't really like fish."
That was Mother's Second Lie.

Then, when I was in Junior High School, to fund my study, mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be stuck in. It gave her some money for covering our needs. As the winter came, I woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke, supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she continued the work of sticking some used-matches box.
I said, "Mother, go to sleep, it's late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work. "Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, dear. I'm not tired."
That was Mother's Third Lie.

At the time of final term, mother asked for a leave from her work in order to accompany me. While the daytime was coming and the heat of the sun was starting to shine, the strong and persevering mother waited for me under the heat of the sun's shine for several hours. As the bell rang, which indicated that the final exam had finished, mother immediately welcomed me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared before in a cold bottle. The very thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love, which was much thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son. I'm not thirsty!".
That was Mother's Fourth Lie.

After the death of my father because of illness, my poor mother had to play her role as a single parent. By held on her former job, she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. No days without sufferance. Seeing our family's condition that was getting worse, there was a nice uncle who lived near my house came to help us, either in a big problem and a small problem. Our other neighbors who lived next to us saw that our family's life was so unfortunate, they often advised my mother to marry again. But mother, who was stubborn, didn't care to their advice, she said "I don't need love."
That was Mother's Fifth Lie.

After I had finished my study and then got a job, it was the time for my old mother to retire. But she didn't want to; she was sincere to go to the marketplace every morning, just to sell some vegetable for fulfilling her needs. I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the money. She even sent the money back to me. She said "I have enough money."
That was Mother's Sixth Lie.

After graduated from Bachelor Degree, I then continued my study to Master Degree. I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a scholarship program, from a famous University in America . I finally worked in the company. Within a quite high salary, I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in America. But my lovely mother didn't want to bother her son, she said to me "I'm not used to."
That was Mother's Seventh Lie.

After entering her old age, mother got a flank cancer and had to be hospitalized. I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean, directly went home to visit my dearest mother. She lied down in weakness on her bed after having an operation.
Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me in deep yearn. She tried to spread her smile on her face, even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out. It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother's body, thus she looked so weak and thin.
I stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face. My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on that condition. But mother, with her strength, said "Don't cry, my dear. I'm not in pain."
That was Mother's Eight Lie.

After saying her eighth lie, She closed her eyes forever!
this is my important question that i needed to ask to everyone in allpats of the world
how many viewers support me and like my webshow and supports dbz
i meant dragon ballz well i got all reaserched information

Son Goku

Main article: Goku
Son Goku (孫悟空 Son Gokū?) is the protagonist of the Dragon Ball series. He is immensely strong, pure of heart, and extremely competitive, but dedicated to defending the Earth from evil. First introduced as a young boy, Goku was originally conceived by creator Akira Toriyama as a variation of Sun Wukong, protagonist of the Chinese novel Journey to the West; wherefore Goku also sported a prehensile tail until later. Upon meeting Bulma at the beginning of the series, the two then embark on an adventure to gather the seven Dragon Balls.[ch. 1] After, Goku receives martial arts training from Kame-Sennin, meeting his lifelong friend Kuririn and learning the famous Kamehameha technique, and enters the Tenka'ichi Budōkai to fight the strongest warriors on the planet. When the evil Piccolo Daimao, and later his offspring Piccolo, tries to rule the world, Goku receives training from "gods" to defeat them.
Though he appears human, it is later revealed that Goku is descended from an alien warrior race known as the Saiyans, who sent him, originally named Kakarrot, to Earth to prepare it for conquest.[ch. 197] Goku sacrifices his life to save the planet from his brother Raditz,[ch. 205] but must quickly get stronger in the afterlife under the tutelage of Kaiō-sama, to save it from the other incoming Saiyans Nappa and Vegeta. He later becomes a Super Saiyan and defeats a powerful tyrant Freeza. This sets the tone of the rest of the series, with each enemy the characters face becoming stronger than the last, requiring them to attain further training. The last battle of the original manga, against Majin Boo, has the entire universe at stake, and as such, has Goku and friends being asked for help from the gods of the universe, Kaiō-shin.

Bulma

Though he seems frail, he is a mighty warrior, having trained Grandpa Gohan and Gyū-Maō,[ch. 12] Goku andKuririn,[ch. 28] and a few others. Despite his lechery and occasional whimsy or foolishness he is often depicted as wise, cantankerous, and perceptive. He is often accompanied by his talking sea turtle companion, referred to as Umigame (ウミガメ?, "Sea Turtle"), who often tries to point out his faulty ways. He is bald, sports a thick van dyke beard, and wears sunglasses, beach clothes, or martial arts suits. He usually wields a walking stick and, in early appearances, wears a turtle's shell on his back. When wishing to appear anonymously in the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, Kame-Sennin uses the name "Jackie Chun" (ジャッキー・チュン Jakkī Chun?), wears a wig and discards his sunglasses.[ch. 46] He was trained by Mutaito, who sealed away Piccolo Daimao, alongside Tsuru-Sennin, and also by Karin.[ch. 13588]
Kame-Sennin's design was inspired by the character of Kami-sama from Toriyama's previous manga Dr. Slump,[vol. 2:afterword] and accordingly was originally voiced by Kōhei Miyauchi, who also voiced Kami-sama in the original Dr. Slump anime. Miyauchi's final acting session before he died was for episode 260 of Dragon Ball Z, which he recorded only 3 months before his death. Kame-Sennin is voiced by Hiroshi Masuoka from episode 288 of Dragon Ball Z onward, in Dragon Ball GT and recent video games. He is voiced byKinya Aikawa in the 10th anniversary movie and by Masaharu Satō in the thirteenth and fourteenth Dragon Ball Z movies and Dragon Ball Kai.

Son Gohan

Main article: Gohan
Son Gohan (孫悟飯?) is Goku's first son with Chi-Chi, who first appears at four-years-old.[ch. 196] He is then kidnapped by Goku's brother, Raditz, and locked up in a space pod. However, his temper flares and he bursts out of the space pod, dealing a blow to Raditz, but also knocking himself out. After the battle, Piccolo takes and trains him for a year as he realizes Gohan's potential.[ch. 205] Gohan slowly becomes one of the strongest characters in the series, at one point holding his own against Freeza and by the time he is a teenager, is able to defeat Cell. During the Majin Boo arc he forms a relationship with Videl, with whom at the end of the series he has a daughter named Pan,[ch. 518] who is a main character of Dragon Ball GT.

Main article: Vegeta
Vegeta (ベジータ Bejīta?) is a Saiyan, and the prince of the entire race, first shown conquering a planet with his partner Nappa listening to Raditz's fight on earth using their scouters.[ch. 204, ] The two of them travel to Earth in search of the Dragon Balls. He ends up fighting a newly revived Goku, but retreats after Yajirobe cuts off his tail and he is struck by Goku's Genki-Dama. He flees to recuperate before heading off to planet Namek to get those Dragon Balls before Freeza.
On Namek, Vegeta ends up having to team up with Kuririn and Gohan, and after Freeza is defeated, lives on Earth and forms a relationship with Bulma. When the Androids arrive, it is revealed he has fathered a son with Bulma, Trunks. Throughout the rest of the series, Vegeta fights alongside Goku and friends to defeat their enemies, but still maintains to be his rival. At the end of the series, he and Bulma have a daughter named Bra, who, unlike Trunks and despite being part Saiyan, is not a fighter.[ch. 518]

Trunks

Main article: Trunks
Trunks (トランクス Torankusu?) first appears as an unknown young man who easily defeats Freeza and his father, before Goku arrives back on Earth after fighting on Namek. It is then revealed that he is Vegeta and Bulma's future child, who has traveled back in time to inform Goku of the coming of the Androids, whom in his time have killed everyone, including Goku who died of a heart disease around the same time. He helps fight against the Androids and later Cell, before returning to his own time.
Just as the Androids arrived, the Trunks from the series' main timeline was born. Seven years later as a young kid, Trunks, already able to turn Super Saiyan despite his age, fights against Majin Boo as Gotenks, having used the fusion technique with Goten. In Dragon Ball GT he is a major character as a young man, traveling through space with Goku and Pan.

Son Goten

Son Goten (孫悟天?) is the second child of Goku and Chi-Chi. When first introduced, Goten strongly resembles his father in appearance, with the same hair-style and similar clothing.[ch. 424] However, as a teenager at the end of the series his appearance has changed to include a shirt bearing his name and a longer, shaggier hairstyle.[ch. 518] Goten was trained by his older brother Gohan in preparation for the 25th Tenka'ichi Budōkai, which their father would be attending. During the training, Gohan discovers Goten is already quite strong, due to the fact that he has been training with their mother (in stark contrast to Gohan's childhood), and can become a Super Saiyan despite still being a child.[ch. 427] Like several characters in the series, he can also perform the Kamehameha technique.[ch. 434]
In order to save the world from Majin Boo, Goku and Piccolo teach Goten and Trunks the "Fusion" technique, which allows them to transform into a single powerful warrior, Gotenks. Gotenks battles Boo multiple times but even when he transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 he is unable to defeat Boo. Boo temporarily absorbs Gotenks, increasing his own power, but Vegeta and Goku are able to retrieve them from Boo. When Boo destroys the Earth, Goten and Trunks are killed.[ch. 506] The Dragon Balls later bring Goten back to life along with the rest of the Earth in order to give energy to Goku's super Genki-Dama attack, which defeats Boo.[ch. 514] Masako Nozawa voices Goten in Japanese, while he is voiced by Kara Edwards (as a child) and Robert McCollum (as a teen) in the Funimation dub.

Freeza

Main article: Freeza
Freeza (フリーザ Furīza?), Frieza in the English anime dub, is a galactic tyrant that wants the Dragon Balls so he can wish for immortality. It is revealed that Freeza had feared the power of the Saiyans, so he destroyed the Saiyan planet Vegeta, killing all but four Saiyans. He recruits three of them, Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz, as some of his workers. On planet Namek, Freeza kills off the entire Namekian race in his quest to obtain the Dragon Balls. He engages in a fight with Goku and the others, with Goku becoming a Super Saiyan after Freeza murders Kuririn. Out of anger at his helplessness to Goku's new power, Freeza blasted a hole into Namek's core in order to destroy the planet. Freeza is then sliced in half by his own attack and begs for mercy, with Goku giving him some of his surplus energy. After he uses that energy to attack, Goku then seemingly kills Freeza. However, he was rebuilt into a cyborg and comes to Earth with his father King Cold, but they are both easily killed by Trunks.

Cell

Main article: Cell
Cell (セル Seru?) is the ultimate creation of Doctor Gero, former chief scientist of the Red Ribbon Army, to get revenge on Goku. He is an artificial life form created using the cellsof several characters from the series, including Goku, Piccolo and Freeza. As a result, Cell is able to perform techniques such as the Kamehameha, which he gains from the cells of Goku.[ch. 363] Cell evolves several times throughout his appearances; he originally evolves from a cicada-like form into his Imperfect form, which is still insect-like in appearance. Both his first form and his second Semi-Perfect form have a long tail that ends in a stinger-like appendage and allows it to absorb other organisms.[ch. 361] The tail recedes under his wings in his final Perfect form, and he can use it to spawn Cell Juniors, minuscule childlike versions of himself. Requiring the androids #17 and #18 to evolve, he finds out that they are already dead in his timeline, so he kills the Trunks of his timeline and uses Trunks' time machine to travel back in time. He eventually absorbs both after many battles and ascends to his perfect form.[ch. 372380381] He decides to hold the Cell Games, a tournament in which he fights against Earth's strongest fighters.[ch. 389] Cell manages to defeat Goku, but he is eventually killed by Super Saiyan 2 Gohan.[ch. 416]

Majin Boo

Main article: Majin Boo
Majin Boo (魔人ブウ Majin Bū?), written as "Majin Buu" in the English anime dub and translated as "Djinn-Boo" in the English manga, is a magical life form created by the warlock Bibbidi (ビビディ?), eons before the events of Dragon Ball took place.[ch. 445] He was temporarily sealed by Bibbidi and brought to Earth, their next target, but Bibbidi was killed by the last surviving Kaiō-shin.[ch. 445] However, Bibbidi's son, Bobbidi makes it his goal to revive Boo.[ch. 445] After being released, Boo appears as an innocent looking pudgy pinkgenie-like creature.[ch. 460] After Boo kills Bobbidi, he becomes close friends with Mr. Satan, which eventually causes him to expel his evil side.[ch. 476483484] This evil manifests into a taller and much skinnier, almost frail, form that absorbs the fat Boo, becoming yet another new form that is muscular and much stronger.[ch. 485, 485] This Majin Boo is interested in a challenge, and later goes on to absorb Goten and Trunks (as Gotenks), Piccolo, and Gohan.[ch. 499502] It is revealed by the last surviving Kaiō-shin that the fat form of Boo is actually the result of the original absorbing the Dai Kaiō-shin into his body.[ch. 508] The original Majin Boo is a sleek, child-sized being who is obsessed with chaos and destruction, and is restored after Goku and Vegeta remove the good side (fat Boo) from his body.[ch. 507508] The good side is later spit out by the original, and he goes on to live with Mr. Satan on Earth under the name Mr. Boo, while the original is killed by Goku, who wishes for him to be reincarnated as a good person.[ch. 512516517518] He is reincarnated into a child named Oob, whom, ten years later, Goku begins to train as his successor.[ch. 518519]

"Artificial Human #18") is a human forcefully turned into a cyborg by Doctor Gero.[ch. 351] After being released, she travels with Androids #16 and #17 in order to kill Goku, though they are interrupted by Cell and the main characters several times. She and #17 are eventually absorbed by Cell, but later during the Cell Games, a hard blow from Gohan causes Cell to regurgitate her. Though Kuririn is unable to wish for her to be turned into a human, he is able to have her self-destruct device removed.[ch. 418] Kuririn later pursues #18 and, at some point, they have a daughter named Marron (マーロン Māron?).[ch. 426431] In Future Trunks' timeline, as an android she is a mass murderer who is later killed by Trunks.

Chaozu is first introduced, having been trained by Kame-Sennin's rival Tsuru-Sennin, trying to kill Goku and his fellow-students.[ch. 113] Though he is not physically strong, Chaozu is skilled withpsychokinesis and telepathy.[ch. 116121] After his friend and fellow student Tenshinhan decides that the Tsuru-Sennin's teachings are wrong, the two leave him and join with Goku and his companions to defeat Piccolo Daimao. Chaozu is killed by Piccolo Daimao while trying to thwart his wish with the Dragon Balls, but is later revived using the balls.[ch. 147,165] In the battle against the Saiyans, he self-destructs on Nappa in order to save Tenshinhan, but it is ineffective.[ch. 217] He trains in the afterlife under Kaiō-sama before being revived, this time by the Namekian Dragon Balls.[ch. 261329] From then on, Chaozu is generally no longer involved in battle, although he continues to train. He is voiced by Hiroko Emori in Japanese and by Cathy Weseluck in the Ocean dub. In Funimation's dubs he is voiced by Monika Antonelli, except in Dragon Ball Z Kai, where Brina Palencia voices him.

Chi-Chi

She is very protective over the well being of her family, wishing to remove Gohan from Goku's lifestyle of fighting and constant conflict, but this is interrupted by the constant threats to Earth. She later relaxes with Goten, even training him herself.[ch. 427] As the daughter of Gyū-Maō(牛魔王?, "Ox King"), who trained under Kame-Sennin,[ch. 12] she is very strong in her own right. She and Goku first meet as children when Gyū-Maō asked Goku to take her to Kame-Sennin's house.[ch. 12] In a misunderstanding, Goku promises to marry her.[ch. 15] Years later, she confronts him to have him fulfill the promise in the quarter-finals of the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai, despite the misunderstanding.[ch. 171] She is voiced by Mayumi Shō in the Japanese version of the series up until Dragon Ball Z episode 88, from which point she is voiced by Naoko Watanabe.

Chi-Chi is portrayed by Jamie Chung in the American live-action film Dragonball Evolution; her voice was dubbed over by Ami Koshimizu in the Japanese version of the film.

Lunch's blonde persona develops an attraction towards Tenshinhan's fierce attitude. She is not seen after the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai, but is said to be chasing after Tenshinhan.[ch. 196] However, in the anime she is seen in a few Dragon Ball Z filler episodes during the fight with the Saiyans, and is seen again at the series' end helping contribute energy to Goku's Genki-Dama to defeat Boo.

Mr. Satan

"Mr. Satan" redirects here. For the 1938 British spy thriller, see Mr. Satan (film).
Mr. Satan (ミスター・サタン Misutā Satan?), known as Hercule in some of Funimation's dub and in Viz's English manga, is a flamboyant martial artist that becomes a world renowned hero after the Cell Games. After Goku and his companions stop attending the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, Mr. Satan starts winning them and becomes the reigning champion for many years. During the Cell Games, he attempts to fight Cell, but even after being swatted away, he is given credit for Cell's death by the media.[ch. 421] He is soon called a world hero, gaining great wealth and a city named after him. Though Goku and his companions find his inflated ego and arrogance very annoying, he becomes their trusted friend after befriending the good Majin Boo, helping defeat evil Boo by using his appeal to get energy from all of the individuals on Earth for the Genki-Dama, and his daughter Videl pairs up with Gohan.
In their initial dub of the series, Funimation changed his name to "Hercule". However, when they recorded a new dub for uncut home video releases, they switched to using the original Mr. Satan.[18] In 2009, Toriyama revealed his real name to be Mark (マーク Māku?), a pun on the Japanese word akuma, which means devil or demon.[19] He was voiced by Daisuke Gōri in Japan until his death, with Unshou Ishizuka taking over the role afterward, while in English he is voiced by Don Brown in the Ocean dub, and Chris Rager in the Funimation dub.

Oolong

Oolong (ウーロン Ūron?), named Mao Mao in the Harmony Gold dub, is a shapeshiftinganthropomorphic pig that uses his abilities for his own greedy desires. He and Pu'ar went to the same shapeshifting school together, before he was expelled for stealing the teacher's panties.[ch. 8] This is the reason he can only change his form for five minutes at a time, requiring a one-minute break. Oolong joins Goku and Bulma in the search for the Dragon Balls to eventually steal them, but abandons this plan. He does however make the first shown wish with the Dragon Balls, wishing for a girl's pair of panties.[ch. 20] Later in the series, he is often in the company of Kame-Sennin. He is voiced by Naoki Tatsuta in Japanese, and by Alec Willows and Richard Newman in the Ocean dub. In Funimation's dubs he is voiced by Bradford Jackson, except in Dragon Ball Z Kai, where Bryan Masseyvoices him.

Pan

Pan (パン?) is the granddaughter of Goku and daughter of Gohan and Videl,[ch. 518] as such her ancestry comes from both humans and the extraterrestrials called the Saiyans, making her one of two female Saiyans in the original manga series (although the only one interested in fighting). While she only appears as a young child in the last two chapters of the manga, she is a major character in Dragon Ball GT as a young teen. In Japanese media she is voiced by Yūko Minaguchi. In the English versions of Dragon Ball Z, she is voiced by Brenna O'Brien in the Ocean dub and Kate Bristol in the Funimation dub.

Piccolo Daimao

Piccolo Daimao (ピッコロ大魔王 Pikkoro Daimaō?, "The Great Demon King Piccolo") is the evil half of the Namekian that removed his evil in order to become the guardian of the Earth; this negative energy took on a physical form, becoming a cast-off being.[ch. 164] He and the good half, Kami, are linked, so if one dies, the other will as well.[ch. 165] After being formed, he designates himself as the Great Demon King and begins to terrorize the world. He is eventually imprisoned by Mutaito, the master of Kame-Sennin and Tsuru-Sennin, in a rice cooker by the suicidal Mafū-ba (魔封波?, "Demon Seal" or "Evil Containment Wave") technique.[ch. 135] After being released by Pilaf, he attempts to kill anyone that could possibly seal him again (including Kame-Sennin and Chaozu) and uses the Dragon Balls to restore his youth before destroying Shenlong, rendering them useless.[ch. 135148] He then takes over the King of the World's palace and has the King announce him as his successor, before being confronted by Goku, who, in their second battle, punches a large hole through his abdomen.[ch. 152161] Before dying, he regurgitates the egg containing his reincarnation, Piccolo Jr., in order to pursue his revenge.[ch. 161] He is voiced by Takeshi Aono in Japanese, Scott McNeil in the Ocean dub, and Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dub. Piccolo Daimao also appears as the main antagonist of the American live-action film Dragonball Evolution, where he is portrayed by James Marsters; his voiced was dubbed over by Hōchū Ōtsuka in the Japanese version of the film.
Prior to Piccolo Jr., Piccolo Daimao created several offspring in order to help him with his plans. His first shown offspring, Piano (ピアノ?), helps him formulate his plan until he is killed when Goku knocks Piccolo Daimao into him.[ch. 156] He also creates Tambourine (タンバリン?) to hunt down the contenders of the Tenka'ichi Budōkai to keep the sealing technique from resurfacing.[ch. 136] Tambourine kills Kuririn and beats a weakened Goku, but Goku's Kamehameha vaporizes him in a rematch.[ch. 135136141] The third, Cymbal(シンバル?), is created to find Dragon Balls, but he is killed and eaten by Yajirobe.[ch. 137139] The fourth, Drum (ドラム?), is created to battle Tenshinhan, who he easily defeats until Goku appears and crushes his head in one blow.[ch. 153154] Tambourine is voiced by Ryūsei Nakao in Japan and Dameon Clarke in the Funimation dub; Piano is voiced byMasato Hirano in Japan and Brian Beacock in the Funimation dub; and Drum is voiced by Daisuke Gori in Japan and Paul LeBlanc in the Funimation dub.

Pu'ar's abilities consist of transvection and shapeshifting. He and Oolong went to the same shapeshifting school together, where he was constantly mocked by Oolong.[ch. 8] He travels with Yamcha, Goku and Bulma and continues to live with Yamcha afterwards. The character's name is a pun on pu-erh tea and was designed to slightly resemble a cat.[vol. 2:afterword] When questioned about gender, Toriyama disclosed that he looked at the character as male during illustrations.[20] Puar is voiced by Naoko Watanabe in Japanese, and by Kathy Morse and Cathy Weseluck in the Ocean dub. In Funimation's dubs he is voiced by Monika Antonelli, except in Dragon Ball Z Kai, where Brina Palencia voices him.

Videl

Videl (ビーデル Bīderu?) is the daughter of Mr. Satan. Like her father, she trains in martial arts, even surpassing him in strength. She uses her abilities to fight crime in the city, and after Gohan appears as the Great Saiyaman, she quickly figures out his identity. She uses that to blackmail him into teaching her how to fly. After Boo is defeated, the two form a relationship, eventually having a daughter named Pan.[ch. 518] When the two fight crime together afterwards, she takes on the role of the "Great Saiyaman 2" or "Great Saiyawoman". Her name is an anagram of "Devil", a play on words with her father's name, Mr. Satan. She is voiced by Yuko Minaguchi in the original series and by Shino Kakinuma in Kai,[21] by Moneca Stori in the Ocean dub, and by Kara Edwards in the Funimation dub.

Yajirobe

Yajirobe (ヤジロベー Yajirobē?) is an overweight samurai that is often considered to be rude, unmannered, timid, lazy, and cowardly. During their first meeting, Yajirobe gets mad at Goku for stealing his fish, and hates him.[ch. 138] However, he has a change of heart and helps Goku after he is defeated by Piccolo Daimao, taking him to Karin's to be healed.[ch. 50] Yagirobe continues to support Goku and his companions from then on, though often from the sidelines. Originally he was a wanderer that lived off the land, but after meeting Karin and discovering the Senzu Beans, which provide the nutrients of ten days worth of meals, restore energy and heal wounds, he lives with Karin. He begins growing the beans with him, and often delivers them to Goku and his companions. He plays a part in Goku's first fight with Vegeta; when Vegeta stares at a full moon and transforms into an giant ape, Yajirobe takes his sword and cuts off his tail. However, when Vegeta becomes enraged and threatens Yajirobe with death, he backs off. His cowardly actions are shown again when he runs away from the Androids. He is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka in Japanese media, by Brian Drummond in the Ocean dub, Lucas Gilbertson in the Blue Water dub, and by Mike McFarland in the Funimation dub.

Android #16 (人造人間16号 Jinzōningen Jū Roku Gō?, lit. "Artificial Human #16") is a large fully mechanical android developed by Dr. Gero. He is deemed a failure, and is deactivated until Android #18 reactivates and releases him.[ch. 351][22] Despite the other Androids disobeying and killing Dr. Gero, #16 still follows his orders to search for and destroy Goku.

Bardock

Bardock (バーダック Bādakku?), Burdock in Viz's English manga and in Funimation's subtitles for the Japanese audio on their DVD release, is the father of Raditz and Kakarrot (Goku). As a member of the Saiyan race, Bardock is just as violent and blood thirsty as the rest of them, in contrast to how Goku would become. He is also the leader of a small group of Saiyan comrades. During a routine planet conquering mission on the planet Kanassa, one of the surviving inhabitants strikes Bardock, giving him its native ability to see into the future in the process. Soon, Bardock began to see visions of Freeza's plan to destroy planet Vegeta and all of the Saiyans, as well as Goku's future on Earth. Bardock attempts to prevent the destruction of his race by challenging Freeza in orbit of planet Vegeta, but is unsuccessful, and becomes the first of the Saiyans to be obliterated by Freeza. Before his death, however, Bardock has one final vision of Goku challenging Freeza, and is able to die pleased knowing his son would avenge their race.
This story is shown in the 1990 Dragon Ball Z TV special, Bardock - The Father of Goku. Bardock's basic design was originally conceived for the TV special by the anime staff, with Toriyama slightly altering it.[5] His armor was based on that of Toshiro Mifune's character in Seven Samurai, at the insistence of director Mitsuo Hashimoto.[5] Toriyama stated that Bardock's tragic story moved him and so decided to include him in the manga;[5] Bardock appears in two panels during Goku's first confrontation with Freeza, when Freeza comments that Goku looks just like that Saiyan who resisted when he destroyed planet Vegeta and the narrator informs the reader that he was Goku's father.[ch. 307] He is voiced by Masako Nozawa in Japanese, and by Sonny Strait in the Funimation dub. Bardock also stars in the 2011 spin-off manga Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock by Naho Ōishi, and its subsequent animated short film adaptation.[28]

After Boo is revived, Bobbidi manages to control him with the threat of resealing him, though after being manipulated by Goku, Boo turns on him and shatters his head with a single punch. He later appears in Hell, cheering Goku and Vegeta on during their fight with Boo, and then in Dragon Ball GT, when various villains escape from Hell.

After seeing Goku's increased power level when using the Kaiō-ken, Ginyu inflicts a near fatal injury on himself.[ch. 285286] He then uses his unique technique that allows him to switch bodies with anyone, leaving Goku with Ginyu's nearly dead body.[ch. 286287] Ginyu (as Goku) momentarily deceives Kuririn, but has trouble fighting Kuririn and Gohan when he realizes that he can't fully control Goku's power.[ch. 288289] Ginyu then tries to switch into Vegeta's body, but Goku intervenes getting his body back, and when Ginyu tries again, he inadvertently switches bodies with a Namekian frog Goku throws in the way.[ch. 290] Ginyu is voiced by Hideyuki Hori in the original series and Katsuyuki Konishi in Kai. In English, he is voiced by Richard Newman in the Ocean dub, Dale Kelly in Funimation's original dub, Brice Armstrong in their redub, and by Robert Bruce Elliott in Kai.

Grandpa Son Gohan

Grandpa Son Gohan (孫悟飯じいさん Son Gohan Jīsan?), is the adoptive grandfather of Goku, whom he found in a crashed spaceship.[ch. 197] He teaches Goku martial arts, having originally studied under Kame-Sennin with Gyū-Maō and also knows the Kamehameha technique.[ch. 12106] He warns Goku not to look at the full moon, but he disobeys, leading to him being killed by Goku as a rampaging giant ape on a night with a full moon.[ch. 21233] Goku does not learn this until Vegeta turns into an ape and tells Goku about the transformations.[ch. 233] He is brought back to life for one day by Baba Uranai in order to fight Goku and see his growth as a martial artist.[ch. 108] In the anime only, he later appears as an assistant to Annin (アンニン?), the ruler of the "magical furnace". He is only shown in flashbacks afterwards. He is voiced by Osamu Saka in the Japanese version of the original series, by Kinpei Azusa in Bardock: The Father of Goku and by Shigeru Chiba in Dragon Ball Kai. In the Funimation dub of the series, he is voiced by Christopher Sabat. He is portrayed by Randall Duk Kim in the American live-action film Dragonball Evolution.

Kaiō-sama

The Kaiō (界王?, "Lord of the Worlds"), referred to as Kais in the English anime dub, are upper-level gods of the Dragon Ball universe.[ch. 205] There are five at a time that rule over the main galaxy of the universe, with one presiding over each of the four quadrants in a galaxy, and the last, Dai Kaiō (大界王?, "Great Lord of Worlds") overseeing them all.[ch. 440] The Kaiō are responsible for the lower-level gods, who rule over individual planets. The Kaiō reside in the heavens, with each having their own small planet. There is a sense of competition among the Kaiō over whose quadrant has the best fighters. Later in the series it is revealed that Kaiō-shin (界王神?, "Lords of Lords") exist, and are themselves in charge of the Kaiō.[ch. 440]
The North Kaiō (北の界王 Kita no Kaiō?), named King Kai in the English anime dub, trains Goku after his self-sacrifice to defeat Raditz, and eventually trains Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chaozu and Piccolo. He is the only Kaiō to appear in the original manga, besides a brief appearance of the South Kaiō,[ch. 428] and as such is usually simply referred to as Kaiō-sama (界王様?). Kaiō-sama trains dead fighters that were allowed to keep their bodies, if they manage to reach his small planet at the end of Serpent Road (蛇の道 Hebi no Michi?) (Snake Way in the English anime dub).[ch. 205] Before training any students, he forces them to appeal to his strange sense of humor and catch his pet monkey Bubbles (バブルス?).[ch. 210211] In the anime, they must also hit the flying cricket Gregory (グレゴリー?) with a mallet. Kaiō-sama provides Goku with martial arts training and two of his own techniques, the Genki-Dama (元気玉?) and the Kaiō-ken (界王拳?), which he himself was never able to master.[ch. 212227] He continues to help Goku and his friends throughout the series, lending his planet locating and telecommunicating abilities for their use. When Goku brings a self-destructing Cell to his planet, the explosion kills Kaiō-sama and Bubbles and destroys his planet.[ch. 412413] As he is already in the afterlife, he only gains a halo, and in the anime appears to settle down on the Dai Kaiō's planet. He is voiced by Jōji Yanami in Japanese, Don Brown and Dave Ward in the Ocean dub, and Sean Schemmel in the Funimation dub.

Kaiō-shin

The Kaiō-shin (界王神?, "Lord of Lords"), named Supreme Kais in the English anime dub, are the highest-level gods in the Dragon Ball universe. Similar to the Kaiō whom they govern, there were originally five, one to rule over each of the four quadrants of the universe and one, the Dai Kaiō-shin (大界王神?, "Great Lord of Lords"), to rule over them.[ch. 445] However, before the events depicted in Dragon Ball, all but one were defeated by Boo.[ch. 445]
The East Kaiō-shin (東の界王神 Higashi no Kaiōshin?), named Supreme Kai in the English anime dub, was originally the ruler of the eastern quadrant of the universe but due to his fellow Kaiō-shin's being defeated by Boo is now the de facto ruler of the entire universe.[ch. 445440] He is the only Kaiō-shin to appear in the original manga, besides very brief appearances of the South Kaiō-shin and Dai Kaiō-shin in single panels.[ch. 508] He has purple skin and a white mohawk and is always accompanied by his larger, reddish-pink skinned, loyal bodyguard Kibito (キビト?). He came to Earth, originally under the alias "Shin" (シン?), to meet Goku and his friends and try to help prevent Bobbidi from resurrecting Boo but ends up failing.[ch. 438446460] Kaiō-shin takes Gohan to his own private planet where he has him train using the Zeta Sword (ゼットソード Zetto Sōdo?) (Z Sword in the English anime dub) but instead the sword is broken releasing Kaiō-shin's ancestor, referred to as Old Kaiō-shin (老界王神 Rō Kaiōshin?), who uses his power to increase Gohan's.[ch. 471479] Kaiō-shin and Kibito later get permanently fused into one being, referred to as Kibito-shin (キビト神?), when they each remove one of their Potara (ポタラ?) earrings.[ch. 501] Kaiō-shin later assists in the final battle with Boo by teleporting Goku and the last survivors on Earth onto his planet and helps take Dende to the new planet Namek to use its Dragon Balls to revive Earth and its people.[ch. 508513] In Japanese he is voiced by Yūji Mitsuya, and by Kent Williams in Funimation's English dub.

Kami

Kami (神様 Kami-sama?, lit. "God") is God, or the guardian residing over Earth for much of the series, and creator of the Earth's Dragon Balls. Originally he and Piccolo Daimaowere one being (later revealed to be a Namekian), but in order to become Earth's God he had to expel the evil inside him.[ch. 164] The evil half, Piccolo Daimao, then went on to terrorize Earth until being sealed away by Kame-Sennin's master, Mutaito. Because they are one, if either Kami or Piccolo Daimao dies, then the other will as well and the Dragon Balls cease to exist.[ch. 165207] After Piccolo Daimao is unleashed and killed by Goku, he spawns a much stronger reincarnation, Piccolo, who takes over these same traits. Kami decides to attempt to seal away the new Piccolo himself using the same technique as Mutaito, which sacrifices the user's own life, and enters the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai, possessing a human named Shen (シェン?, "Hero" in the English anime dub) as a guise.[ch. 175181] But Piccolo has learned to reverse the technique and traps Kami in a water jug instead and swallows it, later being released thanks to Goku.[ch. 181182187] During the fight against the Saiyans, Kami dies when Piccolo is killed by Nappa, but by using the Namekian Dragon Balls they both are wished back to life.[ch. 223293] During the fight with the Androids, Kami agrees to re-merge with Piccolo, with Piccolo being in control, so as to boost his power.[ch. 356360] He is voiced by Takeshi Aono in Japanese, who would do so up until the Freeza arc in Dragon Ball Kai. After Aono suffered a stroke, Bin Shimadavoiced the character for his final appearance during the Cell saga. In English he is voiced by Michael Dobson and Dale Wilson in the Ocean dub, and Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dub.

Karin

Karin (カリン?), Korin in the Funimation dub and known as Whiskers the Wonder Cat in the Harmony Gold dub, is a cat that lives at the top of the extremely high Karin Tower (カリン塔 Karin-tō?) below Kami's.[ch. 88162] He trained Kame-Sennin at one point back in the past for three years and gave him the Kinto'un (筋斗雲?) and the Nyoi-bō (如意棒?)("Nimbus" and "Power Pole" in the English anime dub respectively), both of which later get passed on to Goku.[ch. 88152162] Karin trains Goku after his defeat by Taopaipai and, later, gives him a poisoned water from the Gods to make him strong enough to beat Piccolo Daimao.[ch. 88151] He is also the one in charge of deeming people worthy of meeting "God" (Kami); Goku being the first human he has ever deemed worthy.[ch. 162] He continues to help Goku and his friends by growing Senzu Beans (仙豆?), which can fully heal any injuries and fatigue instantly, and is often accompanied by Yajirobe. Karin was modeled after the pet cat that Toriyama had at the time.[33] He is voiced by Ichirō Nagai and Naoki Tatsuta in Japanese, Doug Parker and Ted Cole in the Ocean dub, and Mark Britten and Chris Sabat in the Funimation dub.

Mr. Popo

Mr. Popo (ミスター・ポポ Misutā Popo?) is a genie-like entity who serves as the caretaker to "God";[ch. 163] Kami and later Dende, after he takes Kami's place as the guardian of Earth. When he first appears, he easily gets the best of Goku in a skirmish.[ch. 163] He then assists Kami in training Goku for three years in preparation for his battle against Piccolo at the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai as well as later training Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chaozu and Yajirobe during their preparation against the Saiyans.[ch. 165209] Mr. Popo is voiced by Toku Nishio in the original series and Yasuhiko Kawazu in Kai. In English, he is voiced by Alvin Sanders and French Tickner in the Ocean dubs, and by Chris Cason and Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dubs.
Mr. Popo's appearance has been considered an offensive racist stereotype related to Sambo or blackface by some,[34] such as Carole Boston Weatherford in an article she wrote in The Christian Science Monitor in May 2000.[35] While discussing the controversy, IGN suggested it is easy to see why by describing the character as "the black-skinned, red-lipped, turban-wearing servant of Kami.", but noted that Japan does not have "the kinds of racial sensitivities that the Western world has."[34] The Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University listed Mr. Popo as an example of racism in modern material.[36] The North American English releases of the manga by Viz Media censor Mr. Popo's lips by shading them in completely.[34][37] In the US airing of Dragon Ball Z Kai on the CW4kids/Toonzai block, Mr. Popo's skin was changed from black to blue.

Nappa

Nappa (ナッパ?) is one of the four remaining Saiyans that were known to survive the destruction of their home planet, Vegeta.[ch. 197] An elite Saiyan warrior, he accompanies Vegeta to Earth in search of the Dragon Balls. He survives Chaozu's self-destructing attack, causes Tenshinhan to die of exhaustion and kills Piccolo.[ch. 217218223] But he is powerless against Goku who had returned to Earth with new training from Kaiō-sama. Vegeta orders Nappa to stop fighting due to Goku's clear dominance over him, but he refuses and is incapacitated by Goku.[ch. 226] Seeing that Nappa has been defeated, Vegeta mercilessly kills him himself.[ch. 227] In Dragon Ball GT, Nappa briefly returned as one of the escapees from Hell, only to be killed by Vegeta once more. In Japanese he is voiced by Shōzō Iizuka in Dragon Ball ZKiyoyuki Yanada in Dragon Ball GT, and Tetsu Inadain Dragon Ball Kai. In English he is voiced by Michael Dobson in the Ocean dub, and by Christopher Sabat and Phil Parsons in the Funimation dubs.

Oob

Oob (ウーブ Ūbu?), known as Uub in the English anime dub, is the human reincarnation of the evil Majin Boo. After Boo was destroyed, Goku asked for him to be reincarnated as a good person, so they may battle again.[ch. 518] Goku eventually senses Oob's hidden power and seeks him out ten years later, when Oob attends the tournament to gain money for his village.[ch. 518] Goku ends up deciding to train him to be Earth's new guardian and as an opponent that he can battle.[ch. 519] In Dragon Ball GT, Mr. Boo merges with Oob's body, slightly altering his appearance, transforming him into "Majoob" ("Majuub" in the English dub) or Super Oob (スーパーウーブ Sūpā Ūbu?) to face threats such as Baby, Super #17, and Omega Shenron. He is voiced by Megumi Urawa (kid Oob) and Atsushi Kisaichi (Oob) in Japanese, and Kara Edwards (kid Uub) and Sean Teague (Uub) in the Funimation dub.

Pilaf

Pilaf (ピラフ Pirafu?), Emperor Pilaf in the English anime dub, is a small impish man who dreams of ruling the world. Along with his two minions, Mai (マイ?), a woman that wears a trench coat, and Shu (シュウ Shū?), originally named "Soba" (ソバ?) in the manga, a humanoid dog in a ninja outfit, he seeks out the Dragon Balls to wish for world domination. After obtaining the Dragon Balls, he is foiled by Goku and his companions after Oolong's wish is granted just before he can speak his fully.[ch. 20] He returns to antagonize Goku a couple more times throughout the series; while attempting to obtain the Dragon Balls again and when they release Piccolo Daimao from his confinement.[ch. 109135] In the first case, their attempt is quickly cut short when they are defeated by Goku again, and in the second, Piccolo Daimao betrays them after they become useless to him.[ch. 110148] They appear again in Dragon Ball GT, where they obtain the Black Star Dragon Balls and accidentally wish Goku to be a child again.
Shu was originally named Soba when he first appeared, however, when the series was being adapted into an anime, the staff asked Toriyama what his name was and he instead replied with Shu, forgetting that he had already named him.[ch. 18][vol. 12:afterword] By the time he realized the mistake, the anime had already aired, so he decided to use Shu in the manga when the character reappeared. [vol. 12:afterword] Pilaf is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in Japanese, Don Brown in the Ocean dub, Mike McFarland in the third Dragon Ball movie, and by Chuck Huber in the Funimation dub. Shu is voiced by Tesshō Genda in Japanese, Doug Parker in the Ocean dub, Justin Cook in the third movie, and by Chris Cason in the Funimation dub. Mai is voiced by Eiko Yamada in Japanese, Teryl Rothery in the Ocean dub, Cynthia Cranz in the third movie, and by Julie Franklin in the Funimation dub. She was portrayed by Eriko Tamura in the American live-action film Dragonball Evolution.

Raditz

Raditz (ラディッツ Radittsu?) is a Saiyan warrior and the older brother of Goku.[ch. 197] Along with Goku, Vegeta, and Nappa, Raditz is one of the four remaining Saiyans following the destruction of their home planet, Vegeta.[ch. 197] He arrives on Earth, searching for his long-lost brother in order to recruit him in conquering other planets.[ch. 196] But when Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps his nephew, Gohan, and orders Goku to kill 100 Earthlings within a day if he wants his son back.[ch. 197] Instead, Goku and Piccolo team up to defeat Raditz, though not even their combined powers are enough.[ch. 198200] However, Goku makes the ultimate sacrifice by grappling with Raditz and allowing Piccolo to kill them both with his Makankosappo technique.[ch. 205] Before Raditz dies, Piccolo taunts him by explaining that Goku will be revived by the Dragon Balls, though Raditz manages to send one final transmission to inform Vegeta and Nappa of this, believing that his Saiyan comrades will come to Earth and use the Dragon Balls to revive him.[ch. 204] However, Vegeta and Nappa travel to Earth to use the Dragon Balls for their own purposes instead. In the anime, Raditz later makes a minor appearance in Dragon Ball GT along with many of the other villains who escaped Hell. He is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in Japanese, Jason Gray-Stanford in the Ocean dub, and Justin Cook in the Funimation dub.

Red Ribbon Army

The Red Ribbon Army (レッドリボン軍 Reddo Ribon Gun?) is a paramilitary organization led by Commander Red (レッド総帥 Reddo-Sōsui?), a short man who has his forces raid towns in search for the Dragon Balls on a quest for world domination. However, the plan is secretly a ruse, so he can really use the power of the Dragon Balls to become taller.[ch. 95] The second in command, Adjutant Black (ブラック参謀 Burakku-Sanbō?), who loyally obeys Red, shoots him after hearing the real plan and attempts to take command of the army, only to be killed by Goku after he was able to easily wipe out most of their forces.[ch. 9596]
The many operatives of the army serve as obstacles for Goku during his second quest for the Dragon Balls. Goku quickly becomes the top of their hit list when he first comes into contact with them by easily defeating Colonel Silver (シルバー大佐 Shirubā-Taisa?), who is sentenced to death for losing to a little boy.[ch. 5556] Though they first believe it was only a fluke, they then realize the threat Goku is when he defeats the forces under General White (ホワイト将軍 Howaito-Shōgun?) in their northern stronghold known as Muscle Tower (マッスルタワー Massuru Tawā?). Among the forces under General White is the android brute Major Metallitron (メタリック軍曹 Metarriku-Gunsō?, "Full Metal Jacket" in Viz's English manga), the ninja Sergeant Major Purple (ムラサキ曹長 Murasaki-Sōchō?, lit. "Master Sergeant Purple", simply "Murasaki" in the English anime dub) and his four identical brothers, and the large monster Buyon (ブヨン?, Jiggler in Viz's English manga).[ch. 58606264] After the destruction of Muscle Tower, Mechanical Man Number 8 (人造人間8号Jinzōningen Hachi-gō?, "Artificial Human #8", or "Android #8"), one of the army's defunct androids who is kindhearted and dislikes fighting, befriends Goku and latter lives peacefully with the locals of Jingle Village (ジングル村 Jinguru Mura?).[ch. 6367]
General Blue (ブルー将軍 Burū-Shōgun?), seemingly the most powerful member of the army, is next to go after Goku. He has special telekinesis abilities, that allow him to paralyze other individuals and can also be used to control objects.[ch. 7780] He is a neat freak, and, as he does not enjoy Bulma's attempts at seduction, she thinks of him as gay.[ch. 76] He manages to steal the Dragon Radar during their final encounter, which leads him and Goku to Penguin Village (ペンギン村 Pengin Mura?) from Toriyama's previous series Dr. Slump, but after returning to the army's headquarters is set to be executed for not obtaining any of the Dragon Balls after multiple failures.[ch. 8185] He is allowed to fight the recently hired Taopaipai to redeem himself, though Taopaipai easily kills Blue using only his tongue.[ch. 85] Blue wears a brown uniform reminiscent of the Sturmabteilung, implying parallels between the RRA and the real-life Nazi Party. He is voiced by Toshio Furukawa in Japanese, and Sonny Strait in the Funimation dub.
Other members include Colonel Yellow (イエロー大佐 Ierō-Taisa?), Captain Yellow in the English anime, an anthropomorphic tiger whom Goku defeated when arriving at the land of Karin, and Colonel Violet (バイオレット大佐 Baioretto-Taisa?), the only known female operative of the army.[ch. 8493] A General Copper (カッパ将軍 Kappa-Shōgun?) is referred to once by Commander Red, but is never seen.[ch. 93] In the aftermath of the Red Ribbon Army's defeat, Doctor Gero who previously worked for them, continues creating androids and uses them in a plotted revenge on Goku which he attempts to go through with later in the series.
In the film Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure, General Blue and Major Metallitron appear as soldiers in Chaozu's army. The Red Ribbon Army appears in the alternate-retelling filmDragon Ball: The Path to Power, where many of them get altered character designs. Sergeant Major Purple and General Blue appear in the 1990s Dr. Slump remake anime, where they attempt to take the Dragon Balls from Goku and Arale. In the unofficial live-action Korean film, Dragon Ball: Ssawora Son Goku, Igyeora Son Goku, Purple appears as one of Pilaf's subordinates. The North American English releases of the manga by Viz Media have edited Adjutant Black's lips by shading them in, possibly to downplay racist stereotypes, similar to their censorship of Mr. Popo.

Shenlong

Shenlong (神龍 Shenron?, lit. "Dragon God"), Shenron in Funimation's anime dub, also known as the Eternal Dragon in the Ocean and Funimation dubs and as the Dragon God in the Harmony Gold dub, is the wish granting dragon summoned when all seven of Earth's Dragon Balls are gathered together.[ch. 1] Throughout the series, several rules on the Dragon Balls' use and limitations on Shenlong's power are explained. After the wish is granted the balls scatter across the planet, turn to stone and are useless for a year, meaning, during this year they can not be detected by Bulma's Dragon Radar.[ch. 120] The Dragon Balls also become useless if Shenlong is destroyed, in this case they must be recreated by their creator, or if their creator is killed.[ch. 148165194] Shenlong can not bestow a wish that exceeds the power of his creator, this is why Shenlong couldn't destroy the Saiyans before they came to earth.[ch. 243] Midway through the series, it is learned that the Dragon Balls are created by the extraterrestrials named Namekians, Earth's Kami being one of them.[ch. 242] A person can only be brought back to life once, and only if that person did not die of natural causes.[ch. 218321] Earth is without Dragon Balls for a period, when Kami re-merges with Piccolo, until Dende takes over the position of God.[ch. 355360393] When Dende recreates Earth's Dragon Balls, he makes them so that you can now have two wishes, but are still able to wish multiple people back at once.[ch. 394] Shenlong is voiced by Kenji Utsumi in the Japanese version of the series with the exclusion of episodes 192 and 193 in the series and the films, in which he is voiced by Masaharu Satō; he is voiced by Daisuke Gōri in Dragon Ball GT, and by Kōji Yada in the Dr. Slumpremake. In the English versions of the series, he is voiced by Don Brown in the Ocean dub, and by Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dub.
Shenlong's Namekian counterpart is Porunga (ポルンガ?, Namekian for "God of Dreams").[ch. 292] Porunga has a large, muscular humanoid upper body and something similar to adorsal fin down his back and the Dragon Balls are much larger than Earth's. Unlike Shenlong, he can only bring a single person back to life at a time, but he can bring that person back multiple times which Shenlong can not.[ch. 292327] He can also grant three wishes instead of one, additionally the user must speak in the Namekian language.[ch. 292]Porunga and the Namekian Dragon Balls were created by the planet's Great Elder (最長老 Saichōrō?) (Guru in the English anime), the parent of every Namekian on the planet, who kept one and gave each of the other six to a different elder.[ch. 252260] When the Great Elder dies he passes his position on to Muri (ムーリ Mūri?).[ch. 327] When the Namekian Dragon Balls are used again during the fight with Majin Boo, Porunga had been upgraded to be able to wish back multiple people at once and still grant three wishes.[ch. 513] Porunga is voiced by Junpei Takiguchi in the Japanese version of the series with the exclusion of episode 283, in which he is voiced by Daisuke Gōri; he is voiced byMasaharu Satō in the video games. In Dragon Ball Kai Daisuke Gōri originally performed the role; after his death, Ryūzaburō Ōtomo took over. He is voiced by Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dub of the series.
Dragon Ball GT introduces Ultimate Shenlong (究極神龍 Kyūkyoku Shenron?), a much larger red Shenlong made by Kami when he and Piccolo Daimao were still one entity. He is summoned when the Dark Dragon Balls, Black Star Dragon Balls in the Funimation dub, are gathered, and can grant any single wish, regardless of any restrictions placed on the other dragons. Ultimate Shenlong is voiced by Kenji Utsumi in Japanese, and by Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dub. GT also introduces Black Smoke Shenlong (黒煙の龍Kokuen no Ryū?, lit. "Black Smoke Dragon"), named Black Smoke Shenron in the Funimation dub, a cigar-smoking dragon who forms from all the negative energy accumulated from the selfish wishes granted throughout the series using the Dragon Balls. Summoned from the same Earth Dragon Balls, he splits into the seven Evil Dragons and they spread out over the Earth, causing the heroes to defeat each one. Daisuke Gōri voices Evil Shenlong in Japanese, and Christopher Sabat voices him in the Funimation dub.

Taopaipai

Taopaipai (桃白白?), Mercenary Tao or General Tao in English anime dubs, is the number one assassin for hire and younger brother of Tsuru-Sennin, Kame-Sennin's lifelong rival.[ch. 120] He wears a custom made pink gi with the kanji for "kill" ( satsu?) on the front and the English phrase "KILL YOU!" on the back. He is first introduced in the series by being hired by the Red Ribbon Army to take out Goku and retrieve the Dragon Balls he possess.[ch. 85] He kills General Blue with only his tongue, and seemingly kills Goku.[ch. 85,87] After succeeding in the first battle, he later had to go back after forgetting one of the Dragon Balls where Goku challenges him again with his newfound power from Karin.[ch. 90]He gets caught in the explosion of his own grenade and is assumed dead, his older brother Tsuru-Sennin then enters his disciples in the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai and when he finds out, attempts to get revenge on Goku and Kame-Sennin's other students.[ch. 92113120] It is later revealed that Taopaipai survived and was modified into a cyborg using all the money he gained from his previous assassination jobs.[ch. 168] He enters the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai seeking his own revenge, but is easily defeated by his former student Tenshinhan.[ch. 168170] In the anime he appears once again, in filler episodes of Dragon Ball Z during the Cell arc.
In Japanese, he is voiced by Chikao Ōtsuka in Dragon Ball and Yukimasa Kishio in Dragon Ball Z. In the Ocean dub, he is voiced by Scott McNeil, while in the Funimation dub, he is voiced by Kent Williams. Taopaipai was the model for the character Uonuma Usui in Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin manga. Watsuki stated that as the first villain to defeat Goku, Taopaipai made "a strong impression" on him.[38]

Zarbon

Zarbon (ザーボン Zābon?) is one of Freeza's top henchmen. He has the ability to transform from a handsome, long-haired humanoid alien into a powerful reptilian beast. Due to his uncommon physical beauty, Bulma is blinded by her attraction to him and at first mistakes him as an ally. Zarbon travels to Namek alongside Freeza and Dodoria to help collect the Dragon Balls. He eventually comes into contact with Vegeta, whom Zarbon manages to easily defeat and capture after transforming. After Zarbon retrieves Vegeta's battered body and brings him to Freeza's ship in order to heal him for interrogation, Vegeta manages to escape and steal Freeza's Dragon Balls. Zarbon sets out to find him once again, but Vegeta, having become stronger after healing, kills Zarbon in his monster form. Zarbon also appears in Bardock - The Father of Goku, where he advises Freeza to destroy the Saiyan planet and briefly appears in Dragon Ball GT when he escapes from Hell with other villains. He is voiced by Shō Hayami in the original Japanese series and by Hiroaki Miurain Dragon Ball Kai. In the English versions of the series, he is voiced by Paul Dobson in the Ocean dub, by Christopher Sabat in the Funimation dub and by J. Michael Tatum inDragon Ball Z Kai.
In an issue of Beckett Anime, a Beckett magazine publication, Zarbon was voted as one of the top five greatest henchmen of all anime, and was the only character from Dragon Ball on the list.[39]

Anime-only characters

Baby

Baby (ベビー Bebī?) is an anime-only character that first appears in the 22nd episode of Dragon Ball GT. He is a parasitic alien created by combining the DNA of the king of the Tuffles (ツフル人 Tsufuru-jin?) with a cybernetic body. Baby desires to destroy all of the Saiyans to avenge his people, who stole their home planet from them. Baby is first reactivated from a sleep state by his creator, Doctor Myu (ドクター・ミュー Dokutā Myū?). He attempts to fight Goku, Trunks, and Pan, but is easily defeated. To boost his power, Baby infects various people with his DNA and begins gathering energy from them.
After a second defeat at the hands of the three Saiyans, Baby infects Trunks and then goes to Earth. On Earth he battles Goten and Gohan, infects them both, and is able to infect Vegeta and make him his primary host. Goku, Trunks, and Pan return to Earth to find the entire population is now under Baby's control. Baby is able to defeat Goku, then he begins using the Black Star Dragon Balls to restore the planet Tuffle and transport the Earth population to it. During this time, Baby evolves into an even more powerful form and defeats Goku again. This causes Goku to transform into a Golden Great Ape and then into a Super Saiyan 4. In this new form, Goku is able to defeat "Baby-Vegeta". He has Bulma, also under his control, fire a radiation beam at him from her Blutz Wave Generator which enables him to transform into a Golden Great Ape as well. After a lengthy battle, Baby separates from Vegeta and attempts to escape in a spaceship, vowing to return to destroy the Saiyans. Goku blasts the spaceship with a 10x Kamehameha attack, sending it into the sun. The ship is destroyed and Baby is obliterated. He is voiced by Yusuke Numata in Japanese media and by Mike McFarland in the Funimation anime dub.

Broly

Broly (ブロリー Burorī?) is an anime-only character that appears in the eighthtenth, and eleventh Dragon Ball Z movies as the main villain. He was born with a power greater than most elite adult Saiyans, and is mentally unsettled as an adult, partially due to the crying of the infant Goku in the incubator next to him when they were born, partially because of traumatic events during his childhood (including nearly being executed for his power as well as Freeza's genocide) and partially because his power was so extreme. He eventually becomes the "Legendary Super Saiyan" (伝説の超サイヤ人 Densetsu no Chō Saiya-jin?) told of in legends, with his destructive tendencies only being quelled by a special controlling device created by scientists for his father, Paragus (パラガス Paragasu?). In movie eight, after Paragus lures Vegeta, Goku, and their companions to another planet, Broly recalls Goku and goes into a rage, destroying the control device and becoming the unstoppable Legendary Super Saiyan. He effortlessly pummels Super Saiyan Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Future Trunks as well as Piccolo before killing his father. He is eventually defeated by Goku, but somehow manages to make his way into an escape pod. In movie ten, he lands on Earth and goes into a frozen state until the crying of Goku's son Goten awakens him. He is killed by Goku, Gohan and Goten by their combinedKamehameha attack after being blasted through the sun. Though in movie eleven, blood samples make their way into the hands of an industrialist, who creates a clone, "Bio-Broly" (バイオブロリー Baio Burorī?). The clone eventually wakes up and becomes mixed with bio-liquid, transforming him into a bio-mutant of sorts. He is eventually killed by Goten, Trunks, and Kuririn. He is voiced by Bin Shimada in the Japanese films, and Vic Mignogna in the Funimation dub.

Cooler

Cooler (クウラ Kuura?) is an anime-only character that appears in the fifth and sixth Dragon Ball Z movies as the main villain. He is the brother of Freeza who travels to Earth to seek revenge on Goku. While he admitted that he never liked his brother, he felt that he needed to punish the one who had ruined his family's honor. Despite transforming into his final form, which is one transformation higher than his brother, he is defeated by Super Saiyan Goku. He returns in the sixth movie, his remains having combined with the Big Gete Star (ビッグゲテスター Biggu Gete Sutā?), a sentient planet-sized machine. This gives him the ability to create an indefinite amount of "Meta-Coolers" (メタルクウラ Metaru Kuura?), which have the ability to constantly repair and improve upon themselves. He tries to consume the planet New Namek, but is eventually destroyed by the efforts of Goku and Vegeta. Cooler also makes a brief appearance in Dragon Ball GT and appears in the Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans OVA. He is voiced by Ryūsei Nakaoin Japanese media, and Andrew Chandler in the Funimation dub.

Garlic Jr.

Garlic Jr. (ガーリック・ジュニア Gārikku Junia?) is an anime-only character that first appears in the first Dragon Ball Z movie. His father was imprisoned by Kami in the realm of darkness, leaving Garlic Jr. with a deep feeling of resentment and desire for revenge. He manages to obtain the seven Dragon Balls, wish for immortality, and begin his quest for revenge. He is defeated when faced with an angry Gohan, who pushes Garlic Jr. into the Dead Zone (デッド ゾーン Deddo Zōn?), an alternate dimension he can freely open. Garlic Jr. is one of the few original characters from the movies to appear in the TV series. In the TV series, he breaks free using the Makyo Star (魔凶星 Makyō-sei?, "Planet Makyo") as a power source, leading to the events of the Garlic Jr. arc. After brainwashing and transforming all living creatures of the world with the Black Water Mist (アクアミスト?, lit. "Aqua Mist"), he is once again trapped in the Dead Zone after the destruction of the Makyo Star. In the original Japanese versions, Garlic Jr. is voiced by Akira Kamiya in the movie and by Shigeru Chiba in the anime. He is voiced by Don Brown in the Ocean dub of the film and Dave Ward in the Ocean dub of the anime, while Chuck Huber voices Garlic Jr. in the Funimation dub of both the film and anime.
In the movie, Garlic Jr. has three henchmen named Nicky (ニッキー Nikkī?), Sansho (サンショ?) and Ginger (ジンジャー Jinjā?). They accompany him to kidnap Gohan, and attack and defeat Piccolo before fighting him again alongside Goku. Nicky and Ginger are killed together by Goku's Kamehamaha, while Sansho is killed by Piccolo. When he returns in the anime, Garlic is accompanied by a new group of henchmen known as the "Spice Boys", or the Four Monarchs (魔族四天王 Mazoku Shiten'nō?, lit. "Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan"). Spice (ガッシュ Gasshu?, Gash) is their leader, with aqua skin and white hair in a similar style to Vegeta. Vinegar (ビネガー Binegā?) is a big light purple muscleman with long hair and horns. Mustard (タード Tādo?, Tard) is also a muscleman but with brown skin, long red hair, and bull horns. Salt (ゾルド Zorudo?, Zald) is the smallest, with red skin. They help Garlic Jr. take over Kami's, and fight Kuririn and Gohan, but in the end, all four are killed by Gohan.

King Vegeta

King Vegeta (ベジータ王 Bejīta Ō?) was the King of the Saiyan race,[40] the father of the prince Vegeta, as well as the strongest Saiyan warrior in his time.[41] While he is briefly referred to, he is never named, nor does he actually appear in the original manga. He led the Saiyans (サイヤ人 Saiya-jin?) to victory in the ten year war against the Tuffles (ツフル人 Tsufuru-jin?), after which the Tuffles' home planet was renamed Planet Vegeta (惑星ベジータ Wakusei Bejīta?) in his honor.[41] Similar to his son Vegeta in nature and appearance, he is ruthless in dealing with his subordinates and delights in the death of others. After the Saiyans were annexed by Freeza, he had no choice but to pledge alliance to him while at the same time retaining power over his own people. King Vegeta is killed by Freeza when he leads a rebellion against him and boards his spaceship to retrieve his son. After his death, Freeza destroys his home planet and commits genocide of the entire Saiyan race. In Japanese, he is voiced by Banjō Ginga in episode 78, Yukimasa Kishinoin episode 124 and Masaharu Satō in the eighth Dragon Ball Z movie. Terry Klassen voices him in the Ocean dub, while Chris Sabat voices him in the Funimation dub.

Shadow Dragons

The Shadow Dragons, known as Evil Dragons (邪悪龍 Jaakuryū?) in the original Japanese, are an anime-only group of evil beings born from the evil energy caused by overuse of the Dragon Balls in Dragon Ball GT. When attempting to repair the damage caused by Super #17, the cigar-smoking Black Smoke Shenron, Evil Shenlong in Japanese, is summoned from the Dragon Balls instead of the regular Shenlong. He splits out the tainted Dragon Balls before fading away, each manifesting into one of the seven dragons as they proceed to cause chaos across the world. They are named after the One-Star through Seven-Star Dragon Balls; One-Star Dragon (一星龍 Īshinron?, Chinese: Yī Xīng Lóng), Two-Star Dragon (二星龍 Ryanshinron?, Chinese: Èr Xīng Lóng), Three-Star Dragon (三星龍 Sanshinron?, Chinese: Sān Xīng Lóng), Four-Star Dragon (四星龍 Sūshinron?, Chinese: Sì Xīng Lóng), Five-Star Dragon (五星龍 Ūshinron?, Chinese: Wǔ Xīng Lóng), Six-Star Dragon (六星龍 Ryūshinron?, Chinese: Liù Xīng Lóng), and Seven-Star Dragon (七星龍 Chīshinron?, Chinese: Qī Xīng Lóng). In the English dubs their names are changed to Syn Shenron, Haze Shenron, Eis Shenron, Nuova Shenron, Rage Shenron, Oceanus Shenron, and Naturon Shenron respectively. Goku and Pan manage to kill the other dragons before encountering Eis and Nuova Shenron. Being much more honorable than his siblings, Nuova helps Goku defeat Eis. However, Syn Shenron kills Nuova before absorbing both his Dragon Ball and the others as well to increase his power.
Syn Sheron, or the One-Star Dragon, was created as the result of Mr. Popo's wish with Earth's Dragon balls to revive everyone on Namek that died at the hands of Freeza and his forces. The nature of the wish in turn made Syn Sheron both the most powerful and most evil of the Shadow Dragons. Making himself known after the death of Eis Shenron, killing Nuova Shenron in the process, Syn Shenron manages to swallow the other six Dragon Balls to become Omega Sheron, Super One-Star Dragon (超一星龍 Sūpā Īshinron?) in Japanese, with access to all of the abilities of his Shadow Dragon brethren. After a long battle, he is killed by Goku's Super Genki-Dama, and the Dragon Balls are purified. Syn/Omega Shenron is voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata in Japanese. Bob Carter and Christopher R. Sabat respectively voicing Syn Shenron and Omega Shenron in the Funimation dub, while Victor Atelevich voices them both in the Blue Water dub.
