History Characters / DragonBallSupportingCast

* BoringButPractical: Baba has no offensive magic, nor is it very flashy like the type Piccolo and Supreme Kai use. Her magic allows her to see into the future, observe events from all over the world (even from Otherworld), and return people from the dead for one whole day.

* TeamNormal: Plays this as straight as she can. Without a genius brain, fighting capability, or knowledge of any teaching or techniques, Good Launch is as close to a normal human in the main cast- if not for being a bit ditzy.

The first of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba, who along with his sharp fangs and ability to turn into a vampire bat, is trained in the art of Muay Thai kickboxing. In his bat form, he moves faster than his opponent Krillin, can see. He then quickly puts Krillin in a sleeper hold and bites his head sucking out the monk's blood. Kicking the disoriented Krillin out of the ring, he then faces Puar and Upa. What looks like an easy victory leads Fangs to defeat as Puar's superior shapeshifting abilities and Upa using garlic and his body shaped like a cross led to him being knocked into the water outside the ring.

* AnimeHair: Has long, spiked-up brown hair.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: His voice in the American dubs is something else. It's up there with Babidi's in terms of shrillness.
* DaywalkingVampire: Fights against three people in broad daylight without any apparent ill effects.
* DubNameChange: From Dracula Man in Japan to Fangs the Vampire in America.
* EvilLaugh: We don't know if he's a villain off the clock, but with his creepy shrill and laughter, one could be forgiven for thinking so.
* EvilRedhead: His hair is dark auburn in the anime and is one of the nastier members of Baba's entourage.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: His voice in Japanese is raspy and cold-blooded as opposed to [[CreepyHighPitchedVoice the English dub.]]
* FragileSpeedster: He's quick in his human form and even faster as a bat, that's how he caught Krillin off guard. He still lost to a shapeshifting cat and a little boy, neither of whom was actually a fighter.
* GratuitousEnglish: His MomentOfSilence upon seeing Upa's cross stance shows the phrases, spelled out in perfect English, "Jesus Christ!" and "Oh My God!"
* HorrorHunger: Follows the tradition of vampires being bloodsuckers. He even compares blood to pizza sauce. Ick.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: This one apparently can kickbox. Biting his victims doesn't seem to involve vampirism, either.
* PsychoForHire: His constant cackling, SlasherSmile, and thirst for blood give this impression.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: A member of the Toad Warriors, a biker gang that harasses Android #16, #17, and #18, resembles Fangs with less prominent teeth. Later when Cell gets harassed by a bus full of angry football players, one of the team resembles Fangs but is considerably taller and buff.
* SlasherSmile: With large fangs like his and hungering for blood, it makes him look ''just'' a smidgen of creepy.
* TheUnintelligible: His shrill in the English dub can make his dialogue difficult to understand, though nobody in-universe seems to have any problem hearing him.
* VampireBitesSuck: When he jumps onto Krillin he sucks the blood out through his bald head. Krillin compares him to a vacuum cleaner in the dub.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Wears boxer shorts, boxing gloves, and taped-up feet.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Upa's ImprovisedCross stance and garlic breath.

[[folder:See-Through the Invisible Man]]
!!'''See-Through the Invisible Man (スケさん, ''Suke-San'')'''
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/el_hombre_invisible.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Hiroshi Ōtake\\
'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/ChuckHuber (Creator/FUNimation dub); Clark Robertson (Blue Water dub)\\
'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Ricardo Hill

The second of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba, who relies heavily on his invisible body in combat. He faces Yamcha and even though the former bandit gets a couple of good hits in, See-Through has a clear advantage (with Baba singing to prevent Yamcha from hearing his movements and instructing her fighter to not talk). It isn't until Goku finds Bulma and Master Roshi that Krillin uses Roshi's perverted nature to nosebleed over the invisible man does See-Through loses his advantage. After Yamcha nails the now visible invisible man with the Wolf Fang Fist, he gives up.

* AmbiguousSituation: Whether or not he's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an actual invisible human]] or a ghost is never made clear. Given that Baba already has a ghost usher that is plainly visible, it's difficult to say.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Instead of Roshi's nose blood, in the American broadcast, Krillin instead dumps a can of tomato soup on See-Through.
* CombatPragmatist: Because he cannot be seen, See-Through has an unfair advantage making it easier to attack his opponents. When Yamcha starts using his hearing to track him, Baba starts singing to cover up the sound of his footsteps.
* DubNameChange: From Suke-san in Japan to See-Through the Invisible Man in America.
* {{Invisibility}}: See-Through's bread and butter.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: One member of the Toad Warriors, a gang that harasses Android #16, #17, and #18, resembles See-Through if he were a human wearing a red ski mask instead of being covered in blood.
* SeeTheInvisible: With Krillin's quick thinking, the invisible man is covered in Roshi's nose blood ([[{{Bowdlerise}} or tomato soup]] if you prefer). As he is exposed there is nothing stopping Yamcha from defeating him now so [[KnowWhenToFoldEm he waves the white flag]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: Besides the [[OldMaster wise]] and [[NiceGuy benevolent]] [[TokenHuman Son Gohan]], his comrades include [[HorrorHunger bloodthirsty]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Fangs the Vampire]], [[{{Jerkass}} arrogant]] and [[PsychoForHire sadistic]] [[{{Mummy}} Bandages the Mummy]] (who the dub implies is a RetiredMonster), plus [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill ruthless]] and [[HellSeeker straight-out-of-Hell]] [[BigRedDevil Spike the Devilman]]. Besides taking advantage of his invisibility, See-Through doesn't really display any really negative qualities and is the only one besides Gohan to concede once his opponent gains an advantage. He also serves food to Goku when Baba tries to recruit him as another of her fighters.
* WeakButSkilled: Despite being after Fangs, See-Through is probably the physically weakest fighter in the group and only has an edge because he's invisible.

[[folder:Bandages the Mummy]]
!!'''Bandages the Mummy (ミイラくん, ''Mīra-Kun'')'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/la_momia.png]]

'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/CarlosSegundo

The third of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba. His LightningBruiser fighting style and ability to use his bandages to quickly wrap up his opponents made him undefeated in combat. After befuddling Yamcha with his speed and abilities, he quickly defeats him and faces Goku next. Despite the Mummy Man's best efforts, he is felled but one hard punch to the stomach by Goku.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He only attempts to hit Goku once in the manga before he gets K.O.d. The anime expands the fight so that he manages to bind Goku in his cloth rolls and almost swings him into the acid pot. Goku manages to break out and knock out the mummy the same as in the manga.
* TheCameo: Appears in the Kid Buu Saga with Spike the Devilman offering their energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb when Mr. Satan calls out the Earthlings for not helping.
* ClothFu: His use of his bandages resembles this, including CombatTentacles and wrapping his opponents in them.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: While other fighters before the Dragon Team defeated Fangs and See-Through, Bandages was undefeated in these challenges. It's not until he faces Goku that his streak is ended.
* DubNameChange: From Mira-kun in Japan to Bandages the Mummy in America.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Not necessarily a traditional villain, at least in the current story, but he does have the lowest set of pipes out of Baba's fighters and is one of the crueler ones.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: When Goku breaks free from his wrappings, he tries it again only for it to be dodged and is defeated soundly.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not a pleasant mummy and, in the anime, he can't go five minutes without boasting about himself or demeaning his opponent. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold That said,]] given that he was revived by Dende's wish to restore Earth's population except for the truly evil ones, he mustn't be all that bad.
* LightningBruiser: Much to Yamcha's surprise, Bandages is not a slow yet powerful fighter due to his size, no, he's a fast and powerful fighter ''despite'' his size.
* {{Mummy}}: A big and powerful version of one. One of the ''Daizenshuu'' confirms he's the real deal, having been born eight centuries prior to the start of the manga. The anime has Master Roshi confirm it as well with some DubText implying that he was a pharaoh to boot.
* OhCrap: His smug aura vanishes as soon as he notices Goku not having any openings in his guard. He is quickly dispatched not long after.
* PetTheDog: He and Spike, in the anime, contribute energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb, though this was after [[FakeUltimateHero Mr. Satan]] requested it.
* ThePigPen: ''Daizenshuu'' 7 mentions that he detests bathing. He's still far more appealing than the likes of Bacterian.
* PsychoForHire: Along with Fangs, Bandages he is easily one of the more depraved fighters of Baba's, delighting in beating on Yamcha during their fight and almost sending him into a pool of acid soup in the anime. DubText also implies that he has [[RetiredMonster a history]] in his life as a pharaoh.
* RealMenWearPink: He likes to sew in his spare time according to ''Daizenshuu'' 7.
* RetiredMonster: Implied to be one in the English anime where he claims to have ruled the world back when the pyramids were constructed and that he came to serve Baba only after he became a mummy.
* SlasherSmile: His default expression is either this or PsychoticSmirk depending on the shot. [[OhCrap It dissipates]] during his fight with Goku.
* TheWorfEffect: Not only did he enforce Yamcha's Worf Effect as he beat him in short order, but Bandages also suffered this as well when Goku knocked him out with one punch.

[[folder:Spike the Devilman]]
!!'''Spike the Devilman (アックマン, ''Akkuman'')'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akkuman_artwork.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Michihiro Ikemizu\\

'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/HumbertoSolorzano

The fourth of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba who is not only normally the final opponent (the top spot was filled by Grandpa Gohan who was brought in as a ringer by Baba to test Goku) but won the World Martial Arts Tournament twice prior to this. Among Spike's abilities and powers are speed, agility, winged flight, and pitchfork combat. Early on he struggles to fight Goku which prompts him to use the Devilmite Beam, a ki blast that kills his opponent if they even have a shred of evil within them. The attack is ineffective because Goku is pure of heart and Spike is defeated after a failed last-ditch effort to skewer Goku with his pitchfork.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Though not as quickly as Bandages, in the manga, he was still very easily dispatched by Goku after his Devilmite Beam failed to kill the boy. The anime gives him a more impressive showing by having him almost knock Goku into the acidic soup of the Devil's Toilet with only Goku's tail saving him.
* AllThereInTheManual: The Daizenshuu reveals that Spike is an actual demon from Hell who came to Earth in order to earn something [[HellSeeker and wishes to return someday.]] The magazine ''Dragon Ball: Adventure Special'' mentions that he has an older sister named Majon (a pun on "majo" or "witch") who is otherwise never depicted in any other ''DB''-related media.
* AttackOnTheHeart: In a spiritual sense, the Devilmite Beam takes whatever negative or evil thoughts and emotions from within a person and concentrates them into their chest cavity. The dark energy gradually expands until the energy can only escape by bursting the cavity open, thus killing the target. Goku being [[IncorruptiblePurePureness completely devoid]] of such thoughts is the only reason he survived it.
* BigRedDevil: [[SubvertedTrope He's not red]], but he more than qualifies otherwise.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: His habit of mentioning Hell in every other sentence certainly wouldn't have flown on an American children's TV network back in 2003 or now, [[ZigzaggedTrope yet the "Devil" part in his name still made it to broadcast.]]
* TheCameo: Appears in the anime with Bandages giving his energy to the Spirit Bomb after Mr. Satan demands that the Earthlings lend a hand against Majin Buu. His image also appeared in the King Piccolo arc as a part of the Tournament Registration list, though Tambourine was called off before he could go after him.
* {{Camp}}: Justin Cook gives him a slight effeminate flair in Funimation's dub, similar to General Blue.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The protagonist of a WhatIf story in ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi Budokai Tenkaichi 3]]'', where he saves the Earth from Mecha Frieza and King Cold instead of Future Trunks. He may be a weakling compared with Frieza, but his Devilmite Beam was his trump card against the Tyrants, who were pure evil.
-->'''Devilman''': Bad end, ha!
* DevilsPitchfork: Spike's pitchfork was used as a last resort against Goku when the Devilmite Beam proved ineffective.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He's so convinced anyone has at least a tiny speck of evil in their hearts, enough for the Devilmite Beam to be lethal, that he's caught off-guard by Goku being immune to it.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: A Japanese magazine special revealed that he hates angels. [[SarcasmMode Gee, what a shock.]]
* DubNameChange: From Akkuman in Japan to Spike the Devilman in America. The English dub of ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'' literally calls him just Devilman.
* FangsAreEvil: He's got some sharp pearly whites and, while not as depraved as Fangs and Bandages, is still a ruthless demon willing to kill his enemy if it can't be avoided.
* GlassCannon: He's this mainly for Goku who has little trouble defeating him, in part due to the Devilmite Beam having no effect on Goku. Otherwise, while skilled enough to win two World Martial Arts Tournaments, the Beam is clearly his Trump Card attack if all else fails.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Spike's batlike wings allow him to fly before it became standard in ''Dragon Ball'' for almost every fighter to do so.
* HellSeeker: He was born in the biblical Hell and came to Earth to "earn some more" before returning to Hell one day. [[AllThereInTheManual This is only given in supplemental material,]] though his various Hell jokes do allude to it.
* HornedHumanoid: His goat-like horns sticking out of his head.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Upon seeing how screwed he is against Goku, he jokingly asks "Akuma-ta?" which can roughly mean "What the devil?" that causes the spectators to fall over.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his extreme methods in trying to kill Goku during their match, he mainly only seems to use it on those who truly deserve it. His WhatIf story involves him confronting Frieza and King Cold in order to protect his home planet. Plus, he was revived by Porunga with a wish that was meant to exclude all the bad people of Earth who'd died in the Majin Buu incident, so he can't be all that bad.
* KamehameHadoken: Spike's Devilmite Beam is a beam of energy that is more effective [[ThePowerOfHate the higher his victim's negativity is]]. It fails with Goku because he's pure of heart. It's quite telling this technique is overpowered in ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'', where you can kill most of the villains with one strike with it ([[DifficultButAwesome assuming you can even hit with it]]), and in a What If story, he [=OHKOs=] Frieza with it.
* PetTheDog: He and Bandages, in the anime, contribute energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb, though this was after [[FakeUltimateHero Mr. Satan]] requested it.
* RealMenWearPink: In addition to having a slightly effeminate voice, ''Dragon Ball: Adventure Special'' revealed that he enjoys shopping.
* ShoutOut: To the original ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' by Creator/GoNagai's pen.
* StoryBreakerPower: The Devilmite Beam would be utterly devastating against most of the pure evil villains that appeared after him in the series - only immortals or those that can regenerate FromASingleCell could be able to live to tell the tale; a WhatIf story from ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi Budokai Tenkaichi 3]]'' shows this clearly. Naturally, the Devilmite Beam is never mentioned after he's defeated, and his only appearance after that was a cameo at the end of the Majin Buu arc giving his power to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb...after ''Mr. Satan'' demanded it, not Goku.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: He uses the Devilmite Beam on Goku, a technique that takes a person's negative feelings and causes them to explode, simply because Goku whacked him around ''twice''. Even Baba, [[ChaoticNeutral who otherwise enjoys watching a good slaughter,]] thought that Spike [[EveryoneHasStandards was going too far]] in using it on the boy.

'''Voiced by (Brazilian Portuguese):''' Gilberto Barolli

Master Mutaito was one of the greatest martial arts teachers of all time and the first known person to act as Earth's savior, despite dying hundreds of years before the series started. He was Master Roshi and Master Shen's teacher, both who went on to create their own respective schools and pass on his teachings to several generations of characters.
----
* ColdBloodedTorture: Was subjected to this by King Piccolo, who slowly crippled him with energy blasts to non-vital areas and then left to die. It was seeing his master defeated in such a cruel, humiliating way that turned the Crane Hermit down the path of darkness.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Evil Containment Wave. It's a sealing technique so powerful that it can entrap foes several times more powerful than the user. It can even work on [[spoiler:gods as Future Zamasu learned]]. However, if the sealing process is stressful enough, it can kill or severely weaken the user. This is how he dies sealing King Piccolo.
* DeathByOriginStory: He dies in the manga chapter/anime episode that he's introduced in.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Despite being absolutely no match for King Piccolo, he manages to trap the Demon King in a rice cooker for over three hundred years. [[HeroicSacrifice It cost him his life]], but he did save the world.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Despite saving the world from King Piccolo at the cost of his life, no one remembers his name, and the terror of King Piccolo faded into legend. Only his students know what happened.
* HeroicSacrifice: He dies trapping King Piccolo with the Evil Containment Wave, stopping the Demon King's original rampage.
* ManlyFacialHair: He has an impressive mustache and is definitely a badass since he took down King Piccolo by himself, despite being much weaker than the demon.
* MasterApprenticeChain: He has the longest chain with many branches since he taught Master Roshi and Master Shen, both of who became respective teachers of their own styles:
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr > Son Goku > Son Gohan, Pan, and Uub
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr > Son Goku > Son Gohan > Son Goten
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Goku > Son Gohan, Pan, and Uub
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Goku > Son Gohan > Son Goten
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Krillin and Yamcha
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Ox-King > Chi-Chi > Son Goten
** Mutaito > Master Shen > Mercenary Tao, Tien, and Chiaotzu
* OldMaster: He is the original old master of the series, being the one who trained Master Roshi and Master Shen, making him the root of the Turtle and Crane Schools.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's long dead by the start of the series and isn't even mentioned until the King Piccolo Saga.
* RetiredBadass: He's long past his prime when he fights King Piccolo. Although he lost the first fight, he creates a technique that can seal opponents much stronger than him.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** Although he died long before the series started and is only mentioned when Roshi is explaining the terror of the revived King Piccolo, his legacy is spread throughout the series through his students, the Turtle and Crane Hermit, who went on to become masters to several of the main characters, which includes Goku and all his descendants. He is also the one who stopped King Piccolo's first rampage and his first defeat to Piccolo is what sent the Crane Hermit down the path of evil.
** The Evil Containment Wave, the technique that he invented to stop King Piccolo, is also this. In ''Super'', Future Trunks uses the Evil Containment Wave to trap [[spoiler:Future Zamasu]]. He only escaped because Goku and Roshi forgot the seal. However, [[spoiler:Zamasu]] was so shaken by the experience that he decides to [[spoiler:fuse with Goku Black]] since they couldn't afford to mess around with the mortals anymore.
* WeakButSkilled: He is a powerful master, but he's little more than an ant compared to King Piccolo. In the anime, Piccolo easily defeats and [[ColdBloodedTorture tortures him by shooting him with energy blasts]]. However, he invents the Evil Containment Wave, a technique that can entrap foes, [[spoiler: which includes gods]], many times stronger than the user for the exchange of their lives if the sealing process is stressful enough. This is how he defeated King Piccolo. In an anime filler, he beats ''Goku'', the same person who killed King Piccolo, because Goku's technique was [[UnskilledButStrong sloppy and predictable]]. Not only that, but he does it without moving!

The King of the entire Earth. He's a blue dog.
----
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He appears slightly earlier in the anime sending aid to some poor farmers, which doubles as an EstablishingCharacterMoment.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The Cell arc filler last shows him disbelieving that Mr. Satan beat Cell and knowing that it was likely the Z-Warriors. However, his brief cameo in the Buu arc (also filler) shows him happily offering his energy to the Spirit Bomb only after Satan requested it, not Goku.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: He was first conceived during the original Dragon Ball run, which happened to take place in a Disneyland-esque world inhabited mostly by anthropoid animals. The latter feature was effectively dropped later in DBZ, making his reappearance in Cell saga look kinda weird in a more down-to-Earth world populated by humans.
* TheEmperor: This guy is the official ruler of the entire Earth.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The anime gives him an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance that shows him unhesitatingly giving some poor farmers a water reservoir, immediately confirming him as TheGoodKing.
* TheGoodKing: By all indications, he's a decent ruler and is well-liked by his subjects.
* HeroicDog: Not a fighter by any means, but he is shown to be a benevolent ruler and will do anything within his power to aid his people.
* {{Masquerade}}: He knows of Goku and his friends' world-saving exploits, but for whatever reason decides that TheWorldIsNotReady in favor of allowing them to continue believing Mr. Satan's lies. He does express frustration that Mr. Satan steals the Z-Fighters' credit, however. Yet, his cameo in the Buu arc has him gleefully giving energy to the Spirit Bomb only when Mr. Satan demands it, not Goku.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The English dubs of the anime have given him the name "King Furry", but he was [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep only known by his title]] in the original manga and Japanese version.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** He is one of few characters outside Z Fighters who remains level-headed and aware of powers at work throughout most of the entire Dragon Ball series.
** During the King Piccolo Saga, when he gets temporarily overthrown by the titular villain, he remains defiant and completely unintimidated by him despite all abuse he receives. In his worldwide speech, he bravely urges the people of Earth to fight back against the evil regime -- knowing well that it will earn him Piccolo's wrath and not caring about the consequences.
** Later in ''DBZ'', he is one of few people aware that Mr. Satan could not possibly defeat Cell, and people who really did it are Z Fighters. He seems to have forgotten about it by the Buu arc, however.
* RoyalBlood: Judging by his collection of family portraits, his lineage of dogs has been ruling Earth for a long time. Considering that someone in the distant past used the Dragon Balls to wish to become a king, it's likely that this King is descended from that person. It also explains why the entire Earth is ruled by a single person.

'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Mario Sauret, Enrique Cervantes (''Kai: The Final Chapters'')

** The Evil Containment Wave, the technique that he invented to stop King Piccolo, is also this. In ''Super'', Future Trunks uses the Evil Containment Wave to trap [[spoiler:Future Zamasu]]. He only escaped because Goku and Roshi forgot the seal. However, [[spoiler:Zamasu]] was so shaken by the experience that he decides to [[spoiler:fuse with Goku Black]] since they couldn't afford to mess around with the mortals anymore. Becoming Fusion Zamasu actually proves fatal in the long run.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Ox-King intentionally hid a nicer side to his first appearance to prevent thieves from coming into his castle and robbing his gold. [[OverprotectiveDad That, and taking his daughter]]. So, [[DisproportionateRetribution he terrorized the nearby village]], [[ShroudedInMyth and legends of him spread as a bloodthirsty demonic tyrant]]. Suffice to say, this wasn't the best course of action he could have taken (though, it was pretty effective). Father and daughter being inhumanly strong, notwithstanding (the latter killed a ''T. Rex'' with ease at ''twelve years of age''). He later got reprimanded for this by Master Roshi, who told him to apologize to the villagers for how he treated them, and mellowed out... after his home on Fire Mountain was blown to bits by Roshi.

* OverprotectiveDad: In ''Dragon Ball''. Less so in ''Z''.

* TheBusCameBack: She reappears in ''Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!''

* BadassBaritone: His octaves are ''ridiculously'' befitting a man of his stature and fighting skill, though he eventually retires from fighting by ''Z''.

* HeelFaceTurn: To put it in perspective, whenever Lunch changed she would instantly attack Roshi, Goku, and Krillin on sight with a machine gun, by the end of ''Dragon Ball'' she stops attacking people in general, only attacking those who are out to harm her friends.

* PosthumousCharacter: He's long dead by the start of the series and isn't even mentioned until the King Piccolo Saga.

A shape-shifting cat-like creature and Yamcha's closest friend. Puar is fiercely loyal to Yamcha. Puar mostly just provides moral support to Goku and friends but saved everyone the first time Goku transformed into a Great Ape by cutting off Goku's tail.

* AmbiguousGender: In the Japanese version, Puar's gender is not directly referred to though it sometimes does use masculine pronouns. In the English version, Puar is referred to as a female on the few occasions when its gender is mentioned. This isn't the case in other translations such as the Portuguese translation which has Puar state himself as male in his introduction. Eventually, Toriyama was asked about Puar's gender and he said he considered Puar male when writing the manga. For some odd reason, however, the official ''Dragon Ball'' site lists Puar as female.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They're nowhere to be found in ''Dragon Ball GT'' and it is mentioned that in the second episode Trunks has succeeded his grandfather as the president of Capsule Corporation. Whether this means that they retired or passed away is unknown. Even in the ''Z'' episode "He's Always Late", which features almost the entire cast at a party within the Capsule Corp., neither Dr. Brief nor his wife is seen attending.

* FragileSpeedster: He's quick in his human form and even faster as a bat, that's how he caught Krillin off guard. He still lost to a shapeshifting cat and little boy, neither of whom are actually fighters.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: A member of the Toad Warriors, a biker gang that harasses Android #16, #17, and #18, resembles Fangs with less prominent teeth. Later when Cell gets harassed by a bus full of angry football players, one of the team resembles Fangs but is considerably taller and more buff.

The third of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba. whose LightningBruiser fighting style and ability to use his bandages to quickly wrap up his opponents made him undefeated in combat. After befuddling Yamcha with his speed and abilities, he quickly defeats him and faces Goku next. Despite the Mummy Man's best efforts, he is felled but one hard punch to the stomach by Goku.

* HornedHumanoid: His goat-like horns that stick out of his head.

* {{Masquerade}}: He knows of Goku and his friends' world-saving exploits, but for whatever reason decides that TheWorldIsNotReady in favor of allowing them to continue believing Mr. Satan's lies. He does express frustration that Mr. Satan steals the Z-Fighters' credit, however.

** Later in ''DBZ'', he is one of few people aware that Mr. Satan could not possibly defeat Cell, and people who really did it are Z Fighters.

* AnAxeToGrind: He's shown with an ax the first time he encounters Goku and the gang in ''Dragon Ball''.

* AnAxeToGrind: Uses a small hatchet in his attempt to attack Mercenary Tao.

* KilledOffscreen: Happened in the manga's Buu arc when Super Buu turned all of the non-fighting crowd on Kami's Lookout into chocolate bars and ate them. Averted in the anime where we see a horrible ShadowDiscretionShot of him and Yamcha being changed (they're the last to be eaten).

* SplitPersonality: One half's a sweet blunette, the other's a hot-tempered blonde.

* PetTheDog: While not actually being evil, her bad persona has a few moments. In ''Dragon Ball'' during one of the tournaments, she buys Goku ice cream. One of the few times she does something nice in her bad form. Later on, she rescues Goku from two people intent on stopping him from winning the match to settle a SideBet. In ''Z'', she kidnapped the finest chefs in the world just so she could create a world-class meal for Tien and Chaotzu.

* KidHero: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; she's a supporting character in all of her appearances, but come the King Piccolo Saga, she's seen in a hospital tending to those injured by the demon. While not a fighter by all means, her presence in the hospital, plus her helping Goku and being accepting of Eighter despite being a creation of the Red Ribbon Army shows that she has a heroic heart.

* NiceGirl: Suno is a kind, accomodating, and compassionate girl who always reserves a friendly tone to whoever she talks to. Heck, she opts to bring Goku to her village and help him recover, basically saving his life from freezing to death.

* InSeriesNickname: In the Japanese, Goku has trouble remembering his full name, so Goku calls him Hacchan (Eight-Man in the US manga, Eighter in the English dub, and Octavio in the Latin American Spanish dub). He likes the nickname so much that he takes it as his official name.

A small, old witch that can divine things with the crystal ball she floats around on. The older sister of Master Roshi, she lives in a pyramid, providing divinations to those who can match one of two requirements--pay an outrageous fee, or defeat her chosen champions in combat. She also cut a deal with King Yemma that lets her provide a dead warrior a 24-hour return to the living, making for some joyous reunions. After the Red Ribbon Army Saga, Goku's friends go to her for help finding the last Dragon Ball, and she periodically pops up to help for free, as the Z-warriors are now more powerful than any warrior she can employ. Also one of the notably few characters to never die in the series.

The second of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba, who relies heavily on his invisible body in combat. He faces Yamcha and even though the former bandit gets a couple of good hits in, See-Through has a clear advantage (with Baba singing to prevent Yamcha from hearing his movements and instructs her fighter to not talk). It isn't until Goku finds Bulma and Master Roshi that Krillin uses Roshi's perverted nature to nosebleed over the invisible man does See-Through loses his advantage. After Yamcha nails the now visible invisible man with the Wolf Fang Fist, he gives up.
