Dragon Ball Universe 7 / Characters

Universe 7 (第7宇宙, Dai nana Uchū) / Our Universe (我々の宇宙, Wareware no Uchū)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u7.png

"Our Universe", Universe 7 is the place where all of the Dragon Ball series has taken place. The universe is under the command of the God of Destruction, Beerus, and the former Supreme Kai of the East, Shin, who has taken the job after his fellow Kais were either killed or absorbed by the Eldritch Abomination Majin Buu. Along Universe 6, they form a twin universe.

The universe hasn't been the nicest place: for many years, the dominant power was a galaxy-spanning empire ruled by Frieza and his father King Cold, who destroyed and subjugated planets for profit. Among his ranks were the ruthless Saiyans who also conquered planets for the Trade Empire until their extermination by the tyrant himself. While there has been an honest to goodness effort to counterattack Frieza's empire by the Galactic Patrol, their efforts haven't done much. It doesn't help that the God of Destruction, whose job it is to deal with rogue mortals, didn't do anything about Frieza and even encouraged his behavior by approving his genocide of the Saiyans.

There are 28 planets with intelligent life in the universe, which includes Earth, Namek, Yardrat, Zuun and Cereal.

In the multiverse ranking, Universe 7 is the second worst^note out of all twelve universes, with a mortal life quality of 3.18 points, with Universe 9 being dead last. That being said, they win the Tournament of Power, and have the most eliminations by a mile in the anime (56 of the other universes' 70 chosen warriors, with U6's 12 total in second place; the only eliminations not induced by either U6 or U7 were two self-eliminations (Roselle of U9 to escape Frieza and Caway of U4 to escape Roshi), and one of U9's big three drawing first blood by taking out U10's Rylibeu), while in the manga U6 (mainly thanks to Kale and later Kefla) has the number's honor instead. In other words, they manage to have the second-worst quality of life by godly standards, while being a formidable team who frequently break their limits.

Whis

**Whis (ウイス, Uisu)**

Voiced by (Japanese): Masakazu Morita
Voiced by (English): Ian Sinclair (Funimation dub); Doug Erholtz (Bang Zoom!/Toonami Asia dub in Super)
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Arturo Castañeda

"Goodness, sometimes I feel like the only adult in this universe."

Beerus's servant and teacher, and the Angel Attendant in charge of Universe 7. Loves to eat, and unlike his boss, is a genuine Nice Guy. Became a mentor for both Goku and Vegeta for them to reach even greater heights, all with the condition of allowing him to eat more delicious food.

The Ace: Intelligent, wise, unfailingly polite, incisive, and recognized by Word of God as the most powerful being in Universe 7. We're talking about a guy who, if the Angel law about being a All-Powerful Bystander didn't limit him, would be able to take out every single threat that the main heroes ever face, and he's nice enough that he probably would have done so, too.
Achilles' Heel: Like the God of Destruction's life is linked to the Supreme Kai, the God of Destruction's attendants are considered angels who cease to function when their respective god is dead until a new God of Destruction and Supreme Kai are chosen.
Adaptational Wimp: How long it takes for Whis to be able to use his time reversal powers is longer in Dragon Ball Super's manga version than the anime version. In chapter 14 of the manga version of Dragon Ball Super, which's during the Future Trunks arc, Whis says he still can't use it, and this is despite months or maybe years passing since he used it in Resurrection of F. In the anime version during the same arc, he is capable of using it again, and does so in episode 59 to prevent Gowasu's death.
Agent Peacock: An especially extreme example. He's a campy, effeminate guy in lipstick and swishy robes who also happens to be the most powerful being in Universe 7. This gets more apparent with the introduction of the other Gods of Destruction assistants, with Whis being the only one wearing lipstick with a flamboyant appearance.
All-Powerful Bystander:
- Whis is the most powerful being in Dragon Ball at the time of his introduction, and by far the most powerful being in Universe 7. He only got taken down a peg with the introduction of his roughly equally strong sister Vados, followed by Zeno, dubbed King of Everything, and his father, the Grand Minister. No hero or villains' power comes close to matching his and he could end any threat so far with ease. He is powerful in ways other ki users or gods are not. Yet he is content to typically observe events despite worlds being destroyed or the lives of fellow gods being threatened. He only acts when Beerus gets out of hand. It's also his job to be this in Universe 7 to report to the true King of Everything about Beerus's duties when he appears.
- Averts this with Beerus by the Future Trunks arc, where they lend their aid to the heroes, though they stay out of any actual fighting. Then they see Zamasu murder Gowasu, and he uses his rewinding time ability to undo it.
- The manga version of Super Justifies this: Whis explains that angels such as he, Vados, and the Grand Minister are neutral and don't get involved in events of their own accord besides training and monitoring their deity. If they break this Angel law too much, as Merus does against Moro, they are erased from existence.
Almighty Janitor: He's Beerus's assistant, performing tasks such as setting alarm bombs and handling the teleportation duties. As the rest of his entry shows, in any other situation, Beerus should be serving him instead.
Ambiguously Gay: He noticeably blushes with a smile when Beerus accidentally flashes him in Episode 3 of Super, and occasionally flirts with fighters like Goku and Vegeta. These aspects are largely bowdlerized in the FUNimation dub.
Anti-Villain: He's not at all evil, he just happens to work for a Jerkass God.
Battle Butler: Is Beerus' assistant, as well as his teacher and sole superior as the strongest known fighter in the Universe 7.
Big Eater: Just like Beerus, and also like Beerus he's a connoisseur of new types of food, which is how Vegeta and Goku get training from him: by supplying him unique and interesting Earth cuisines to try. He especially enjoys sweets, like sundaes.
Big Good: Ironically, Beerus and Whis take on this role after the Battle of Gods Saga in Dragon Ball Super. Whis personally trains Goku and Vegeta to unlock their god forms, rewinds time when Frieza blows up the Earth and when Zamasu murders Gowasu, and he creates a new timeline for Future Trunks and Mai after Fusion Zamasu and Future Zeno destroyed his time. He also helps Beerus investigate Goku Black after seeing his Time Ring and recognizing his energy.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's far more focused on experiencing Earth culture than destroying the world, but as Beerus' attendant he has to be pretty damn powerful. As in the strongest character in the entire Seventh Universe!
Can't Live Without You: If Beerus and the U7 Supreme Kai dies, than he ceases to function until another set of gods are chosen. This being said, it seems like Whis would just continue going on living if Universe 7, Beerus and that Supreme Kai were erased.
Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: He admits part of his job is to help manage Beerus' temper and fickleness to prevent his destruction from getting out of hand.
Cosmic Entity: Whis is not technically a god, however, he's stronger than Beerus along with being a Reality Warper. He can also rewind time for the entire universe. It's later stated that he is an angel.
Deadpan Snarker: If he's not snarking at Beerus or chowing down, he's probably snarking at someone else. And he manages to keep his polite tone even while snarking at people!
Didn't See That Coming: Beerus and Whis are surprised that Champa manages to get a Time Master like Hit on their team. Whis even notes that he didn't know anyone outside of him could manipulate time.
Divine Intervention: Although Whis is technically not a god, at least according to him, he still counts since he's much stronger than Beerus and he has the power to rewind time for the entire universe by three minutes. He uses this power to reverse time on Frieza, stopping him from destroying the Earth in Resurrection 'F'. Later does so again to stop Zamasu from killing Gowasu in Super.
Don't Think, Feel: In both Resurrection 'F' and Super, he tells Vegeta to stop overthinking all the time because it slows down his reaction time during battle. Whis himself possesses Ultra Instinct, allowing him to act entirely on instinct and reflexes with no conscious thought whatsoever in a fight.
The Dragon: Subverted. He may be the manservant to the God of Destruction and an enormously powerful warrior in his own right, but he's nothing but helpful to our heroes (when he's not getting distracted by Earth food, anyway).
The Dreaded: In Dragon Ball Xenoverse Whis is this to Demon God Demigra, who knows full well that Whis is far stronger than Beerus. While Demigra actually thought he stood a chance at taking control of Beerus, his locked battle quotes show the usually-insufferable God of Demons becoming utterly flustered at the sight of Whis confronting him.
Dreadful Musician: Though we never actually get to hear it, this is a God whose singing is so bad that the Cat-God of Destruction would rather get out of the comfort of his bed than be forced to listen to it. As a testament to just how bad it is:
Beerus: I never figured Vegeta for such a poor song-and-dance man. Although he'd give you a run for your money.
Whis: Now you're just being hurtful.
Entertainingly Wrong: After Goku and the others returned from the future, Whis theorizes that Zamasu created Black using the Super Dragon Balls after he invaded Zuno's palace to get information on Goku and the Dragon Balls, and he also wished for immortality after skipping another year with the Time Ring. He also concludes that Zamasu murders Gowasu since only a Supreme Kai can use the Time Rings. Although Whis gets a lot right, he's wrong about Black being a golem, as he is Zamasu himself who switched bodies with Goku. He also made the mistake of thinking Future Zamasu was Present Zamasu since he never considered that Zamasu would team up with himself. Whis' theory falls short because he underestimated Zamasu's obsession with Goku and his vanity.
Eccentric Mentor: He is the one that trained Beerus, threatens to wake him up by singing, and spends most of his time on Earth sampling its cuisine instead of actually helping Beerus. In the prequel manga for Resurrection ‘F’ as well as in Dragon Ball Super, he's training Goku and Vegeta.
Establishing Character Moment: Whis threatens to wake Beerus by singing.
Everyone Has Standards:
- Despite him working for Beerus, who is a petty, spoiled, Psychopathic Manchild with several Berserk Buttons who will destroy a planet because he hated the food, he calls Goku Black a coldhearted, evil individual.
- He's also clearly against Goku reminding Zeno about his promise for a universal tournament, since he knows how unpredictable Zeno is.
Faster-Than-Light Travel: He ferries Beerus around the cosmos using a technique which transports them in a beam of light. Though it's not clear just how fast he's moving, it never takes more than 30 minutes or so for him to reach his destination and he's seen passing through spiral and elliptical galaxies in seconds.
Food as Bribe: Like Beerus, Whis is enamored with Earth's cuisine, treating even the most common and cheap foods as haute cuisine compared to everything else in Universe 7. As a result, whenever the cast need him to do something, they usually take him out to a meal first, though they constantly have to change it up to keep him from getting bored.
Forgot About His Powers: Subverted. It seems like Whis forgot he has the ability to reverse time. He didn't, but Goku did.
The Gadfly: He enjoys messing with people. Especially Beerus since he's 5 times stronger than him.
Good is Not Nice: Although he comes off as much nicer than Beerus, he still has no problem with seeing planets being destroyed because the food was subpar and he even laughs at Beerus when it was revealed that he would be the lone survivor of U7 if it loses the Tournament of Power. At the same time, he does show real concern for Beerus and Goku, and called Goku Black a cold-hearted villain.
Humanoid Abomination: A much lighter example than most, but still. Beyond that, Whis is exponentially more powerful than the current Destroyer-God, and he has abilities previously unseen in the series.
Holy Halo: A blue ring that hovers around his head, though contrary to most examples, it centers on his neck.
Hypercompetent Sidekick: Beerus reveals Whis is actually his mentor and stronger than him.
Inexplicably Awesome: Whis isn't a god as far as we know, but he's stronger than Beerus and has the power to rewind time for the entire universe. When Vegeta asks exactly what Whis is, he gives a non-answer. The Supreme Kai later calls him an angel.
Lack of Empathy: Subverted. While he isn't too much bothered about the fact that Universe 7 can possibly be erased, he's still helping the heroes to succeed, encouraging Beerus and Goku to stop quarrelling and think more about how they can win. It's implied that Whis cares more about his assigned Universe than he's actually supposed to.
Master-Apprentice Chain: He is the master to Beerus, Vegeta, and Goku. However, he only has a chain with Goku and Vegeta since Beerus has no students:
- Whis > Son Goku > Uub and Pan
- Whis > Vegeta > Future Trunks
Morality Chain: To a limited degree, he plays this to Beerus. He never actually tries to stop the God of Destruction once he's made his mind up, probably knowing it would do no good, but he does offer alternative suggestions and causes delays if he thinks it will help him calm down. Only when Beerus is about to do something that would endanger literally the entire universe does Whis put his foot down and order Beerus to stop (and Beerus does listen when Whis does this).
Motive Misidentification: During Super's Future Trunks Saga, after Goku and co. face off against Goku Black and a version of Zamasu in Future Trunks' timeline, Whis initially deduces that Zamasu will use the Super Dragon Balls to attain Complete Immortality, then to create an Evil Knockoff of Goku to help him wipe out all mortal life in The Multiverse. As it turns out, Goku Black is actually an Alternate Self of the present Zamasu who used the Super Dragon Balls to steal Goku's body, while the immortal Zamasu who was helping him is actually Zamasu's counterpart from Trunks' timeline, who Black convinced to aid him.
Mundane Luxury: He finds Instant Ramen, considered by us to be cheap junk food, to be the greatest delicacy in the universe.
Mysterious Past: What is Whis? He is stronger than Beerus, who is the God of Destruction, and he appears to have god ki, but isn't a god. He can also rewind time by three minutes and is a Reality Warper on par with Buu. When Vegeta asked what Whis is, he is given a non-answer. Eventually, East Supreme Kai reveals that Whis is an angel.
Nice Guy: He's much calmer than Beerus and is incredibly pleasant to the main cast, even helping them keep their planet from being destroyed on several occasions.
Odd Friendship: Appears to have formed one with, of all people, Bulma. It may largely be due to her supplying him with a constant stream of delicious Earth food, but by Resurrection ‘F’, Whis seems to have genuinely become fond of her.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The normally unflappable Whis is shocked when Zeno asks to meet Goku. He's also unusually tense and firm with Goku when he's taking him to Zeno's palace.
- The second time Whis becomes giddy when he realizes that Goku has achieved Ultra Instinct - the state of fighting and moving without thinking. In short, exactly what Whis wanted to teach to Goku and Vegeta.
Our Angels Are Different: Apparently, according to U7's Supreme Kai, Whis and Vados are a type of angel who only functions as long as their God of Destruction is alive.
Physical God: Despite technically not being a deity like Beerus, he still falls into this. He ended up being the strongest character in the entire series at his introduction in a movie hyping the Saiyans' inferior strength and we have yet to see him fight even remotely seriously or come to harm in any way. His power also a Foreshadowing because he was appointed to look after the God of Destruction.
Pocket Dimension: Whis and Vados can seemingly store endless objects into a pocket dimension using their staffs. This includes food and even people. Goku and Vegeta trained in this dimension to learn how to contain their energy during the Resurrection 'F' Saga. During the time they're in there, Whis can't use his staff.
The Power of Creation: Like other gods and angels seen, he is able to create just about anything he desires. Unlike gods, however, he is also capable of destruction on a similar scale, although unlike his sister Vados, he avoids using his power for harmful purposes.
Pretty Boy Power: The most powerful fighter in the movies is a relatively human-looking Bishōnen.
Punny Name: "Uisu" is apparently derived from the Japanese pronunciation of "whiskey". Because Toriyama didn't come onto the project until after the God of Destruction was already named, he mistook the name "Birusu" for a play on "beers", and named his assistant to match. Ironically, it also sounds like it could be a pun on the Latin pronunciation of "virus", the same word Beerus' Japanese name was originally based on the Japanese pronunciation of according to the movie's scriptwriter. Meaning, both Beerus and Whis in a sense carry both puns.
Readings Are Off the Scale: As stated by Akira Toriyama, in terms of raw power, on a scale of one to ten, SSG Goku is a 6, Beerus is a 10, and Whis is a 15.
Reality Warper: He has the ability to warp time, as well as create portals and store things in Hammerspace, and managed to magic Bra/Bulla out of Bulma's womb in under twenty seconds, ensuring the latter skipped the birthing process altogether. And as a gift from Beerus for his performance in the Tournament of Power, Whis resurrects Frieza on the spot with minimal effort, when the same act cost Elder Kai - a God of Creation - his life.
Reset Button: As revealed in Resurrection ‘F’, he has the ability to reverse time itself and create "do-overs" when Beerus' destruction gets out of hand. This power appears to be distinct from ordinary time-travel in the Dragon World, as it directly affects the timeline they are in. This comes into play at the end of the movie/saga, as he undoes the damage that Frieza caused.
Servile Snarker: He spends most of his time snarking at Beerus. He knows he can get away with it.
Shaped Like Itself: When asked to explain what exactly he is, he describes himself as "the life-form known as Whis."
The Snack Is More Interesting: He's much more interested in trying out Earth food (which he thinks is incredibly delicious) than anything else going on around him. Not that he REALLY needs to be.
Sissy Villain: Subverted. He's camp as hell, and manservant to the Psychopathic Manchild God of Destruction, but turns out to be far more of a help than a hindrance to the heroes.
The Smart Guy: He's shown to be extremely good at analyzing the current situation and drawing logical conclusions about what's going on. Not only does this make him a very good teacher and Combat Commentator, but he's also the first to come up with a working theory about Zamasu and Black.
Spell My Name With An S: Latin American media doesn't seem to settle on whether to spell his name as "Whis" or "Wiss".
Sole Survivor: If Goku and company lose the Tournament of Power, the Grand Minister says in no uncertain terms that Whis will become this for Universe 7, as the "angels" apparently are too important to lose, more so than even the Supreme Kais and the Gods of Destruction.
So Proud of You: Whis does not hide his pride and joy when Goku finally masters the Ultra Instinct.
Story-Breaker Power: On a ratings of one to ten, by word of Toriyama around the time of Battle of Gods, Goku at Super Saiyan God is a six, and Beerus is a ten. Whis? Whis is a fifteen. He is, by all intents and purposes, in a universe where the strongest beings can wipe out galaxies with ease, completely untouchable by man or god alike. He can stop Beerus cold with one hand, he can take Goku and Vegeta with god ki simultaneously without ever breaking a sweat, and he can reverse time for the universe at large. Forget Vegito or Gogeta, if this guy ever takes action, there's no reason any conflict within the bounds of Universe 7 would have any consequence. He also has several reality warping abilities like being able to create objects from nothing.
Strange Minds Think Alike: He shares Goku's confusion over why Vegeta doesn't want to train with him because Bulma is pregnant.
Strong and Skilled: Whis like all angels are the strongest beings in their respective universes, but are also martial arts masters that train the Gods of Destructions they serve.
Superpower Lottery: He's an Almighty Janitor who is far stronger than Beerus. He is also a Reality Warper who can create nearly unbreakable shields, hold items in a Pocket Dimension, find almost anyone or anything in the universe using his staff, heal wounds, and can travel faster than the speed of light with ease. He can rewind time for the entire universe by three minutes. He can also revive a deceased person on his own, without the use of Dragon Balls.
Super-Speed: So fast that he can get to anywhere in the universe in under an hour using only pure speed, unlike Goku, Kibito and the Supreme Kai who rely on special techniques to accomplish the same thing. In Super, Beerus still complains about him being too slow.
Time Master: Whis can rewind time by three minutes, allowing him to do-over any mistakes. The only known limit is that he can't do it twice in a row.
Top God: Unlike Beerus, Whis is not a god, and is revealed to be an angel. But as far as anyone can tell he's the strongest known being in Universe 7, surpassing even Beerus by a wide margin. He also has the story breaking power of rewinding time by three minutes, undoing any mistake as he sees fit. For a while he was the closest thing in the Dragon Ball universe to a true god. Then the arrival of Zeno, the king of ALL 12 universes, who he has authority to answer to even when Beerus is scared.
Trademark Favorite Food: Like Beerus, he holds Earth cuisine as the greatest in the universe. When he first tasted Instant Ramen, it practically made him orgasm because of how delicious it was.
Tranquil Fury: The anime's adaptation of the Battle Of Gods arc shows that when Whis gets angry, this is how he acts. At one point, Goku's dropped to Super Saiyan, and it seems like Beerus has won, so Whis prepares to head out when Piccolo grabs his arm, insisting that it's not over yet. Whis, in a rare moment of ire, just about snarls at Piccolo to let go.
Whis: You will kindly remove your hand. (Beat) ...I said remove it.
Undying Loyalty: Seemingly has this to Beerus. And it turns out to be completely true... in a master/student bond kind of way.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Beerus and Whis investigating Goku Black leads them to U10 where they asked about the Time Rings, something that Zamasu didn't know existed until that moment. They also bring Goku, who is obsessed with fighting Zamasu since he heard he's a fighting prodigy among the Kais and he may be Goku Black. This leads to a sparring match where Goku beats Zamasu, and him becoming obsessed with Goku and seeing mortals as not only foolish beings but dangerous to the Gods.
The Unfought: Though we STILL get to see how shockingly powerful he is by him knocking a Wasabi-enraged Beerus out cold with ONE light Dope Slap to the head. That's right, he knocked out a God that wipes the floor with Super Saiyans with a Dope Slap like he was spanking a naughty child. And worse; it was Played for Laughs, too.
Upper-Class Twit: Just as aristocratic and out-of-touch as his master (as their reaction to Bulma's party amply demonstrates), though he's significantly more polite and friendly about it.
Walking Spoiler: His relation to Beerus and the extent of his powers are all spoiler enough to warrant tags.
World's Strongest Man:
- Y'know how Beerus was able to legitimately take down Goku? Well, Beerus admits that Whis trained him and is actually much more powerful than he is, making him the single most powerful known being in his universe. Beerus does hint though that other universes might have beings that are even more powerful. According to Toriyama himself, on a scale of 1 to 10, Goku is a 6 and Beerus is a 10. As for Whis? He's a 15.
- In Resurrection ‘F’ and Super, he is shown training Goku and Vegeta, and neither of them can so much as touch him. Keep in mind, both of them have been able to inflict some damage on Beerus, and have since ascended to Saiyan Beyond God status. Heck, he even moves so fast that he's able to draw his personal mark on their clothes without either of them noticing until he points it out. Later, when Frieza destroys the Earth, he rewinds time, giving Goku the chance to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.
- Dragon Ball Super: Broly shows him briefly fight Broly in what is a joke on Broly's part. He cannot hit Whis at all, while Whis is not even trying to fight him seriously. To put that into perspective; Goku outright states he thinks Broly is stronger than Beerus, and at max power, Broly was comparable to Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta. That's right; a being as strong as Super Broly, is a plaything to Whis.

Oracle Fish

Oracle Fish (予言魚, Yogen-gyo)

Voiced by (Japanese): Shoko Nakagawa
Voiced by (English): Monica Rial (Funimation dub); Brian Beacock (Bang Zoom!/Toonami Asia dub in Super)
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Alondra Hidalgo

A fish who is an oracle. An inhabitant of Beerus planet. He was the one who gave Beerus indications on where the Super Saiyan God was.

Ascended Extra: While he doesn't make many appearances following his initial role in the anime, he's an oft-recurring character in the manga, making the prediction to Beerus before the Tournament of Power that Goku and Vegeta will rival him, and his insomnia foretells the arrival of the strongest being in Universe 7 in the Granolah the Survivor arc.
Commuting on a Bus: Since his role is pretty minor, he tends to appear for very few moments during the series. Probably not helping things is that the Japanese performer is a well-known celebrity who would be very cost-heavy to keep appearing on a semi-recurring basis.
Seers: His job; he's Beerus' seer.
Small Role, Big Impact: He gave Beerus a prophecy of fighting an individual, the Super Saiyan God, 39 years before the events of Dragon Ball Super. If it wasn't for him, Beerus wouldn't have been interested at all in the legendary fighter, meaning none of the events of Dragon Ball Super would have happened as we saw them.

Team Universe 7

In General

From left to right: Frieza, Krillin, Android 18, Android 17, Son Goku, Vegeta, Son Gohan, Master Roshi, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo

The Team assembled to represent Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power.

11th-Hour Ranger: Frieza joins the team very late, as Buu was the original member and needed a last minute replacement, due to him falling asleep.
Badass Crew: Universe 7's greatest fighters assembled together. They prove their mettle by ringing out the most combatants of any universe (56 out of the 80 odd fighters). And while the other universes longer lasting fighters such as Top and Jiren strategize while avoiding combat to save energy, the Universe 7 (sans Frieza) strategize and adapt while fighting pretty much the whole Tournament, with fighters like Goku having to fight opponents while recuperating from taxing battles that pushed him beyond his limits. They still ultimately win.
Badass Family: Several members are related. Goku and Gohan are father and son, with Piccolo being an Honorary Uncle to Gohan. 17 and 18 are siblings, while Krillin and 18 are married.
Bald Head of Toughness: Half of them have no hair on top of their heads and all of them are incredibly powerful warriors.
Friendly Enemy:
- A few members are on good terms with Universe 6. Goku and Hit are respected rivals, while Vegeta and Cabba have a master-student relationship.
- Most of the team have been enemies or rivals of Goku at some point or another. Krillin was a cheating brat when they first met, Tien, Piccolo, Vegeta, 17 and 18 were all previously bad guys, and Frieza will never stop being evil.
Godzilla Threshold: Bringing in Frieza as the final member really shows how desperate Universe 7 was.
Gondor Calls for Aid: In the ultimate call for aid, Goku recruits many of his past allies from throughout the series to help fight in the Tournament of Power, along with one nemesis.
Multinational Team: Notably, the team includes members of every prominent race featured in the series: Saiyan (Goku, Vegeta, Gohan), Human (Krillin, Tien, Master Roshi, Gohan again), Namekian (Piccolo), Android (17, 18), Frieza's race, and Majin (Majin Buu).
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The team is mostly made up of members of the Z-Warriors, but due to needing ten members, Goku brought in a lot of allies they previously hadn't worked with before.
Red Herring: The final member of Team Universe 7 (during the anime run) was advertised to be Buu. It's actually Frieza. The manga makes no hesitation to advertise Frieza with Team Universe 7.
Running Gag: Buu being enlisted as a team member, but always failing to compete in the actual tournament.
Shoo Out the Clowns:
- Goku decided against picking Goten and Trunks (and by extension Gotenks) due to the kids lacking the maturity and the experience required for the tournament.
- Goku suggests picking Monaka for the tournament (still under the belief that he's stronger than him), but Beerus immediately says that Monaka got sick, not wanting to take the chance of a Motivational Lie for the Tournament of Power.
The Smurfette Principle: Android 18 is the only female on the team.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork:
- Frieza and pretty much everyone else. He initially refused to be ordered around and did whatever he felt like. Though when more of his allies get eliminated, he finally decides to cooperate with them.
- Vegeta prefers to go it solo, wanting to fight the strongest opponents himself and refusing to contribute to Goku's Spirit Bomb.
Token Evil Teammate: Frieza serves this role, being a true villain and the Arch-Enemy of Goku, but forced to ally with them to keep himself from being erased.
Token Minority:
- Frieza is the only one of his race present on the team, and the only one who didn't originate from nor is currently living on Earth.
- Piccolo is also the only Namekian, although he's stuck with the team before.
- During the U6 Tournament, Monaka is the only member of whatever his species is, but also being the only member who isn't a fighter.
Weak, but Skilled: Anyone who isn't a Saiyan, Android, or Frieza falls into this category by comparison.

Galactic Patrol

Introduced in Sachie-chan GOOD and Jiya

Jiya

^{Click here to see his real form}

A member of the Galactic Patrol who outwardly resembles an imposing mechanical man, but beneath this exterior visage Jiya is in fact an intelligent microorganism who operates a robot suit to keep up with his peers. He originally starred in an unrelated self-titled manga miniseries by Akira Toriyama, which was released a few years before Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.

Body Surf: He can take control of other individuals, but unlike many examples of this trope, he is a heroic individual.
The Cameo: He and others of his species make several cameos in the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc aboard the Patrol’s HQ ship.
Hero of Another Story: Jiya’s body-swapping adventures on Earth are documented in the Jiya manga series, but aside from being the first full appearance of the Galactic Patrol in Toriyama’s work, it has nothing to do with Dragon Ball.
Powered Armor: The imposing man is actually a robot suit powered by water.

Steth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vamp.png

^{Click here to see his real form}

A former Galactic Patrolman and the Big Bad of Jiya.

Body Surf: Like Jiya, he can also take over people's bodies, but it's not used for heroic deeds.
Evil Counterpart: To Jiya. While they are the same species and members of the Galactic Patrol, Steth wants to take over Earth rather than protect it.
Face–Heel Turn: After possessing the evil alien monster, Vamp, Steth became corrupted and decided to take over the earth.
Foil: In some regards, he is written as a proto-Zamasu, stealing the bodies and thinking that Humans Are Bastards.
Our Vampires Are Different: Steth possesses the body of Vamp, an alien vampire.

A self-proclaimed "super elite" member of the Galactic Patrol, was sent to Earth by the Galactic King for the purpose of eliminating a hostile alien threat.

Adaptational Wimp: While he establishes himself as a Badass Normal in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', in Dragon Ball Super he did nothing against Frieza except warning Bulma. He does later shows his skills in Episode 31, when he quickly liberates a hostage from a criminal and freaks out said criminal.
Always Second Best: Merus is everything Jaco aspires to be: a genuinely cool, respected and efficient law enforcer.
Amusing Alien: He's pretty much like a member of the Ginyu Force, except not evil.
Badass Normal: Compared to the other Z-Warriors, anyway. Jaco lacks any ki-related special abilities and can't even fly unassisted. He makes up for it with his skill with a laser gun, ingenious on-the-fly strategies and impressive acrobatics. It helps that he's also strong enough to lift several tonnes, though this is also puny compared to the Earth defenders' feats.
Barbie Doll Anatomy: Is actually naked most of the time and pees from the sides of his head.
Berserk Button: He hates being called short or being mistaken as a masked man, and he would kill a human for it. He even carries a virus inside his pocket that would kill all humans on Earth (the virus only works on weak races).
The Bus Came Back: While a prominent supporting character in the earlier arcs of Super, Jaco was more or less written out entirely (barring a handful of cameos) as soon as the later arcs' stakes became more dramatic. However, the manga-debuting Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc sees Jaco return in a more elevated role than ever before.
Butt-Monkey: There are a lot of jokes made at Jaco's expense.
- Jaco is basically Bulma's butt monkey, often taking physical hits from her and threatened to have Vegeta sought on him.
- In the fight against Piccolo and Frost, Jaco points out Frost is cheating and requests an inspection. A furious Champa declares that if Frost was found to be clean he would kill Jaco, to which Jaco withdraws his statement. However, Beerus and Vegeta both insist with the inspection, adding that they don't care if Jaco dies.
- When Jaco thinks he will be absorbed by the Comméson, it passes by him and chases after Goten and Trunks, wanting their powers. Jaco angrily declares it was rude that the Comméson didn't think his powers were worth absorbing.
Combat Pragmatist: Whereas the other Z-Warriors fight Frieza's army head on, Jaco instead uses wily tactics, acrobatic manoeuvres and the surrounding environment against the soldiers. His strategy works just as well, if not better.
Cowardly Lion: He may complain (a lot) and he has an unfortunate tendency to back down when the odds get too tough, but he usually pulls through to do the right thing in the end.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He acts like a short-tempered idiot, often making people doubt about his claims of being a super elite. When he goes into action, he's just as good as he brags about.
Ditto Aliens: The only other member of his species we see is identical to him apart from being slightly taller.
Drop-In Character: Tends to act as this in many of Super's filler episodes, usually only appearing to deal with minor threats. He can't always be around to save the day since a Super Elite Patrolman's day is unenviably busy. Toodle-oo!
Eskimos Aren't Real: Mixed with Flat-Earth Atheist. By the start of Resurrection F, he doesn't believe in Beerus. He quickly comes to know better.
Failure Hero: His efforts in the serial. He failed in his mission to kill the alien coming to Earth. It becomes deconstructed when the alien is revealed to be Goku, meaning it was a good thing that he failed. On a straighter example, he managed to save East City from a huge meteorite, but since it's Doomed by Canon, all he did was buy it twenty-three more years.
Fish out of Water: Heavily downplayed. Jaco came to Earth after studying up on the local culture (the basics are covered in a 4-hour tape course, and doing so is apparently standard practice). He is aware of what local foods he's capable of eating (dairy products), for example, but isn't initially aware of what the local currency looks like (which he figures out as soon as some is handed to him) and accidentally attacks some police officers because he doesn't recognize their uniforms.
Flat-Earth Atheist: As mentioned above, in a universe full of superhumans, magic users and, in general, beings that can destroy planets with their fingers, he didn't believe in the existence of Beerus. This is despite the fact that Bulma (a personal friend, and one who happens to be a woman of science) could attest to his existence.
Foil: His character parallels and contrasts with Goku's in some interesting ways. Just as Kakarrot was a low-class Saiyan sent away to a backwater planet, Jaco was a low-ranked, underachieving member of the Galactic Patrol assigned to Earth, ironically to kill the young Kakarrot before he could become a threat. And just like Goku, Jaco becomes an unexpected saviour after abandoning his original mission. However, while Jaco is sneaky, cowardly and lacks Goku's work ethic to become stronger, he does have an admirably strong sense of justice and knows how to make tough decisions for the greater good (if anything, he's a little too keen on making them).
- Jaco's more pragmatic personality clashes with Goku's laidback nature in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc, as he argues that Goku should execute Moro while he has the chance. Owing to his desire to finish the fight "as an Earthling" rather than a Galactic Patrol agent, Goku instead wastes time trying to reason with Moro and even gives the unrepentant villain a Senzu to prove how futile his continued resistance is. As dumb as Jaco can often be, he was completely correct here.
Glory Seeker: While a good person overall, Jaco is more than willing to lie and cheat his way up the Galactic Patrol social hierarchy, mainly by claiming victories that clearly aren't his. When he rounds up the alien poachers that Goku and Android 17 subdued, he makes it perfectly clear he has no intention of crediting them or even sending a thank-you card. He also tries to pass off some of Merus's achievements as his own.
Gondor Calls for Aid: Jaco summons the entire Galactic Patrol available to Earth to face Moro and his army of criminals.
The Greys: His simplistic, cartoony design evokes the image of the iconic Grey aliens.
Heroic Comedic Sociopath: He can be very trigger-happy and, at times, he seems a little too eager to unleash his vial of deadly poison on Earth in response to the slightest inconveniences.
Hidden Depths: For all his bluster, he really does care about the Galactic Patrol's ideals of maintaining peace throughout the cosmos, even if he's not the most competent at fulfilling them. Throughout the Moro arc, he gets thrown into much more serious and deadly scenarios than he's used to dealing with, but he still helps out wherever he can and even saves everyone's rears a few times.
I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That: Jaco would rather pretend that there's no Saiyans on Earth or ignore Whis rewinding time. (The latter case is probably helped by the fact that Whis is the God of Destruction's attendant, and the strongest being in all of Universe 7.)
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Abrasive, condescending, self-centered, and egotistical, but he can usually be counted upon to do the right thing regardless, even to his detriment.
Meaningful Name: Jaco's name is a food pun, naturally, that can be taking as meaning fish bait or small fish. In Japanese, his name is also a pun of a storytelling device where a character is insignificant to the greater story. Which fits Jaco perfectly since his one major achievement, saving East City, is rendered meaningless since Nappa destroys the city in about twenty years anyway. He also fails in his mission to stop the hostile alien coming to Earth, but since said alien was Goku, that screw-up ends up saving the universe several times over.
Mercy Kill: In his first appearance, he casually carries around an emergency vial containing a deadly virus that can wipe out an entire planet's population. This would only be used if his mission to kill the Saiyan infant failed since allowing a planet to suffer under an unstoppable fully-grown Saiyan is considered a Fate Worse than Death.
Meta Guy: He occasionally makes subtle fourth-wall-leaning comments and digs at other characters. When Esca tells him about Namekians' natural ability to assimilate each other, Jaco mentions that there's a lot of Fusion going around lately, referencing the many recent usages of the technique in the Dragon Ball franchise. He also comments on Goku's constantly changing hair colours and Merus's pretty-boy looks.
Mistaken for Aliens: Inverted. Over the course of the comic he is mistaken for a foreigner, a masked superhero and a robot. Basically everything but an alien. (The thing about him being a foreigner is more sensible than it seems at first, as he doesn't stick out at all in the East City.)
The Napoleon: He is extremely sensitive about his height.
Non-Standard Character Design: Jaco reflects Toriyama's "modern" digital-era art style, which favours smaller, punier and less detailed character designs. While he didn't look so incongruous in his debut manga series (aside from being an alien), he stands out quite conspicuously next to the more muscular Z-Fighters.
Only Sane Man: He fights alongside the Great Saiyamen in Xenoverse 2, and is unamused with their Large Ham behavior.
Overshadowed by Awesome: He's considered an incompetent compared to the rest of the Galactic Patrol. Considering he can casually lift his own spaceship and catch a speeding bullet without looking, the others must be formidable. Counting Jiya (if taken as canon) and Merus, he is definitely an incompetent by comparison.
- Jaco himself admits that he could not beat an adult Saiyan, so his power must be below 1,200 (if you consider Raditz as a comparison)
Pinball Protagonist: Sent to Earth to intercept the alien threat, he fails in his mission as Kakarot's pod slips right past him and his only real achievement on Earth is saving East City from destruction... Which would end up being completely destroyed by Vegeta and Nappa a mere 23 years later anyway.
Pintsized Powerhouse: It's also lampshaded that he's quite strong despite his small size.
Police Are Useless: Zigzagged. There are times where he’s competent at his job and is only really hampered by the fact that he’s at the bottom rungs of the Super Weight scale, such as when he takes on Frieza’s men with the other Z-Fighters and holds his own, along with apprehending a violent gun-toting Burp Man. However, his apathetic attitude can severely hamper his effectiveness at doing his job, such as when he was guarding Watagash, a civilisation-ending parasite, but drops his guard to have something to eat at a nearby food stand, even brushing off the food vendor when he tells him to keep on eye on his prisoner, all of which would likely have cost him his job had such laziness been witnessed by his colleagues.
Remember the New Guy?: Has apparently been visiting Bulma's family since she was a small child, but isn't mentioned anywhere in the Dragon Ball franchise until Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: His reaction to being asked to help take on Frieza. In Resurrection 'F' he is however willing to help out against the army of mooks.
- He repeats this reaction when he realises that Moro's most powerful henchmen are making their way to Earth. As with before, he's begrudgingly convinced to stay, albeit only because the convicts arrive much quicker than expected.
Shoo Out the Clowns: He gradually stops appearing as much in the more serious arcs, namely the Future Trunks and Universe Survival arcs.
Sixth Ranger: Acts as a begrudging one to the Z-Fighters in some Super arcs. Although he always makes his reluctance to fight powerful opponents very clear, he is nevertheless treated as a valued member whenever he does throw his lot in. Goku chastises him for not involving himself more often, probably since he knows that invaluable help can come from unexpected places (e.g. Yajirobe against Vegeta, Mr. Satan against Buu).
Small Name, Big Ego: He always calls himself a Super Elite, but it is often shown that he has rather sloppy and is not as competent as he wants to be. He also gets only outdated equipment and spacecrafts, and other Galactic Patrolmen see him only as an idiot. And since Earth is an Insignificant Little Blue Planet, the King of the Galaxy does not even care if Jaco succeeds or fails at his mission. After Resurrection F arc in Dragon Ball Super, he's promoted.
Space Police: Super Elite Patrolman of the galaxy which isn't as special as it sounds. The job has a 55% hire rate, it's just positions usually are not open because only 38 are needed.
Super-Senses: Nothing escapes his sight. Not even things that escape the one of Beerus. It helps him to reveal that Frost is a cheater and villain. His visual tracking is so good he is able to keep track of Ultra-Instinct Goku's movements when Gohan and Piccolo have trouble keeping up.
Super-Strength: He is very strong, but he states he would be in trouble if he's facing an adult Saiyan.
Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: His girlfriend is taller than him, then it is hard to tell which is which.
Title Drop: In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, his Hero Pose super has him introduce himself as "Galactic Patrolman, Jaco."
Trademark Favorite Food: The only things he needs to consume on Earth are milk and cheese.
Vitriolic Best Buds: It's shown that he is this to Bulma and her sister, Tights. It's mutual.
Walking Spoiler: His appearances in Dragon Ball works proper spoil his own title.
Weak, but Skilled:
- He doen't know how to fly or use ki. He still beats Frieza's army like other fighters.
- Dragon Ball Super shows him seeing and picking up on things that people much more powerful than him, such as all the Z-Fighters and even Beerus, fail to notice.
What You Are in the Dark: When he takes Bulma to see Master Zuno, he sees that Burp Man is the one ahead of him in line. He could arrest the guy then and there, but he posits that it'll lead to Burp Man telling the Galactic Patrol that Jaco used him as The Scapegoat when Jaco himself destroyed a valuable monument. He's about to leave the guy to his devices when Bulma mentions that Beerus threatened to destroy Universe 7, and that they'll all have to hope he was joking. With the universe on the line, despite the fact that he'd be in the clear if he just ignored Burp Man, Jaco then risks getting caught, subdues Burp Man when he takes a hostage, and gains Bulma audience with Zuno.
Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?: A heroic example. In the climax of the Moro arc, Goku, having recently mastered his Perfected Ultra Instinct state, has Moro completely at his mercies after a long, hard battle. Jaco sanely argues that Goku should execute Moro while he has the chance, not just for their sakes, but as justice for the countless billions the rampaging warlock has murdered. Uncomfortable with killing a defeated foe (especially one strong enough to challenge him), Goku instead tries to convince Moro to surrender peacefully, but his mercy allows Moro to figure out a way to escape by absorbing Merus's power.

Galactic King

**Galactic King (銀河王, Gingaō)**

Voiced by Ken Uo (Japanese), Bob Reed (English), Daniel Lacy (Latin American Spanish)

The Galactic King is the king of the Milky Way Galaxy. He joins Jaco and the crew for the tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7.

Accent Adaptation: He's given a German accent in the English dub.
Ascended Extra: He actually first appears during the last chapter of Jaco The Space Patrolman, Dragon Ball Minus, where he gives Jaco the order to kill Goku who is going to Earth. Luckily, Jaco failed at that. In Super, he is given more of a role during the Tournament between Universe 6 and 7 in helping Goku have some idea of what the powers of Hit, from universe 6, are.
Bizarre Alien Biology: At least one of his many tentacles serves as a genital, though they are indistinguishable (this is true of real-world octopuses as well).
Cloud Cuckoo Lander: As can be gathered from the other tropes listed here, the Galactic King has a rather odd sense of priorities, but his status as a Cloud Cuckoo Lander is fully solidified in the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc, where his induction ceremony for Goku and Vegeta into the Patrol lists off a number of arbitrary codes of conduct, such as a rule that members of the Patrol may not use their police credentials to pick up girls.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He's only referred to by title, not name.
Exposed Extraterrestrials: Wears no clothing except a crown, though as an octopus this doesn't exactly reveal anything.
The Good King: He runs a galactic police force that helps to keep peace throughout the Milky Way galaxy.
Mistaken for Romance: Mistaken by Bulma for being Jaco's girlfriend.
Mr. Exposition: Is the first one to figure out how Hit's technique works, and explains its limitations to Goku.
Octopoid Aliens: He resembles a large green octopus wearing a crown.
Police Are Useless: Combining everything we know about them from Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, Dragon Ball Super, and official statements from Akira Toriyama, it seems that the Galactic Patrol (including the King himself, who's said to be their strongest member) are completely useless against beings anywhere near as strong as Frieza's first form (who had a power level over half a million during a time where one-hundred thousand was considered outstanding), only patrol the Milky Way, don't care for backwater planets like Earth, and spend most of their time chasing people like Burpman who commit misdemeanor crimes. Subverted with the Galactic Patrol Arc where it's revealed their prisoners include serious, incredibly powerful threats.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Akira Toriyama has stated that instead of just giving orders to the Galactic Patrol, the king directly aids them, even going so far as to help them combat evil-doers. Unfortunately, even with the king and every single other member teaming up, their combined might is still not enough to manage anything against Frieza even in his weakest form.

Introduced in Dragon Ball Super

Merus

**Merus (メルス; Merusu)**

The Ace of the Galactic Patrol. Introduced in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.

The Ace: A captain that is in charge of 140 sectors of the Seventh Universe.
Alien Non-Interference Clause: As an Angel, he has been blatantly toeing the line with this trope. His activities in Universe 7 come dangerously close to breaking their rule against direct interference in mortal affairs. In the Galactic Patrol, he conceals his true power at all times and only uses weapons in battle as a loophole, but as soon as the Grand Minister catches wind of his plans to fight Moro directly, Whis is sent to reel Merus back in.
All for Nothing: Narrowly avoided. Merus disabling Moro's crystals to let Goku easily finish him off as Ultra Instinct did him no good as Goku decided to heal Moro with a Senzu Bean to try to spare him. Worse, Moro's arm ended up copying Merus's powers, and due to mutation of not being a god, caused him to combine with the Earth and put the planet and possibly the entire galaxy at risk of extermination. Afterward however, thanks to some help from Vegeta, and the combined energy of the Dragon Team plus the god-potential energy of Uub (with Grand Supreme Kai coaching him through Buu), Goku does actually finish the job.
Ambiguously Human: Ambiguously mortal, in this case. There are many hints throughout the Galactic Patrol arc that Merus is much more than he seems. He has no ki signature, is extremely fast, and he has knowledge of Ultra Instinct. Plus, his complexion and hair are distinctly Angelic or Kai-like. He is an Angel apprentice sent by the Grand Minister to learn from Universe 7. After he breaks Angel Law and is erased, he's resurrected as a mortal.
Annoying Younger Sibling: Whis mournfully calls Merus a troublesome little brother after his apparent Heroic Sacrifice, since he refused to obey the Grand Minister's instructions that were put in place for his own safety.
Back from the Dead: At Shin's request, the Grand Minister resurrects Merus after he broke the Alien Non-Interference Clause — albeit as a mortal and with his angelic powers gone.
Brought Down to Normal: After being resurrected by the Grand Minister, he's made mortal and loses his angelic powers.
Cessation of Existence: True to what had been said, Angels are not above the Alien Non-Interference Clause that binds them to neutrality, and so when Merus decides to use just a bit of his power to destroy Moro's crystals, it was a decision that would end up costing him his very existence. He's resurrected, but is turned into a normal human lacking his angelic powers.
Combat Pragmatist: He takes down Goku and Vegeta with an anaesthesia gun instead of facing them head-on. Turns out he can only use weapons, otherwise using his real power would cost him his existence due to breaking Angel law.
The Dreaded: Among the criminal populace of the galaxy, Merus is universally feared for being the most competent and decorated Galactic Patrolman.
Establishing Character Moment: His straight-laced, efficient and pragmatic personality is established in his first appearance, in which he harmlessly ambushes Goku and Vegeta with an anesthesia gun instead of trying to attack them head-on or announce his intentions.
Foil: To Zamasu. A higher being that studied humans from closer and eventually grew closer to them and liked them. Unlike Zamasu who grew angry and resentful to humans for being flawed, Merus liked them for their imperfections and their senses of Justice.
Heroic Sacrifice: Knowing that going into battle with Moro will lead to him erased for breaking the Alien Non-Interference Clause, he chooses to fight Moro anyway, believing that Moro is too dangerous to be allowed to continue. He taps into a small amount of his full power during the final battle with Moro to destroy his Power Copying crystals gained from Seven-Three before fading away.
I Am Not Left-Handed: Revelations about the extent to Merus's true power are gradually drip-fed to us over the course of his debut arc. Initially, he appears to be a highly competent and speedy but not exceptionally strong Patrolman, but his feats include briefly binding Moro, holding his own against Super Saiyan 3 Goku and later revealing that he does in fact know of Ultra Instinct. His ki is also noted by Vegeta to be unreadable. Turns out he is an Angel, meaning he is strong by default. However, because he has taken too much of a bias during the Moro conflict, Whis returns him home to Zeno's world. If Merus ever revealed his full power, he would have been erased for breaking the Angelic law of non-interference.
Informed Flaw: Invoked and Played for Laughs. At one point, Jaco backhandedly mocks Merus for being "snobby, pretentious and heavy-handed", but there's no indication that any of this is true.
Martial Arts Staff: Merus wields one during his training with Goku, making him somewhat resemble Whis. It's a hint of his origin.
Meaningful Name: Merus in Latin means undiluted pure wine, forshadowing his reveal as an Angel in disguise.
- Meaningful Rename: After being revived as a mortal, he goes by the name of Merus Ikanoichiyabosshi, similar to Jaco's surname.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The Angels are created to dutifully serve and mentor the Gods of Destruction in each universe. Outside of brief instances, they do not interfere with mortal affairs as the penalty for doing so is immediate erasure. Most of them are cold, aloof and detached from lesser beings' problems as a result. Merus is the biggest exception, since he found the plight of mortals too much to bear and decided to shed his divine rank in order to become a galactic peacekeeper.
Mysterious Past: Merus carries an aura of intrigue. Despite claiming to be nothing more than an average Patrolman, both Goku and Vegeta are able to deduce that he is hiding his true power. His origin is eventually revealed; he is an Angel apprentice sent by the Grand Minister to learn about mortals, until he rebelled against his restrictions to fight on their behalf.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: As an Angel, he is prohibited from directly interfering with mortals. Despite risking his own life in doing so (Angels are deleted from existence if they break the rules), Merus plans to take the fight directly to Moro's evil army alongside Goku and the others. The Grand Minister has Whis recall Merus from Universe 7 to avoid this, but Merus decides in the end to aid the heroes, showing up just as Moro is on the verge of victory. Sadly, this ends up costing him his existence. He is brought back, but loses his angelic status and power.
The Stoic: Compared to the majority of Galactic Patrol members, Merus takes his job very seriously and lacks any silly quirks.
Super-Speed: Established to have Super-Speed, and is fast enough to take down (base) Goku and Vegeta by surprise. He's so fast that he can dodge attacks from Super Saiyan 3 Goku with minimal effort.
White Sheep: By breaking neutrality, Merus proves himself to be the only Angel to ultimately not value his own life over countless others.
Zeerust: His design evokes a retro sci-fi chic, what with his high-trimmed bowl haircut, '80s tracksuit uniform, and his array of tacky gadgets.

Irico

A diminutive member of the Galactic Patrol with a knack for piloting.

Ace Pilot: Most often seen flying Galactic Patrol vessels, and he ferries Vegeta to planet Yardrat.
Ambiguously Related: There is no confirmed source that states Irico is a Tech-Tech alien. He does however appear to be from the same race as Gure, Tarble's wife.
The Generic Guy: Irico doesn't have Jaco's incompetence or quirky traits, or Merus competence and mystery, he is just an unremarkable patroller.
Mistaken Identity: The Yardrats somehow keep mistaking Irico for Vegeta when they arrive on their planet.
Mythology Gag: He looks like a member of the Tech-Tech species, which debuted in Akira Toriyama's self-parody manga Nekomajin and have appeared many times in his other works.
Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Just as anyone would be when put opposite to Vegeta, Irico acts as the Saiyan Prince's more diplomatic sidekick during their adventure to Yardrat.

Voiced by: Issei Futamata (Vomic)

A professor who formerly researched time travel on a remote island, after losing the other researchers, including his wife, in an accident, has lived as a hermit alone on the island.

Grumpy Old Man: At least initially, before getting caught up in Jaco's adventure.
The Hermit: He lives alone on a deserted island.
Introverted Cat Person: Has a lot of them living on his island.
The Lost Lenore: His wife died in a lab accident.
Perpetual Frowner: Never seen smiling.
Theme Naming: Both "oomori" and "toku-" refer to an extra-sized helping of food. Oomori himself doesn't seem to eat more than you'd expect him to, though.

Tights (Spoilers)

Tamagoro Katayude

**Tamagoro Katayude (固茹玉吾郎, Katayude Tamagorou)**

Voiced by: Takuya Sato (Vomic)

A government official sent to evict Omori from his island.

Ambiguously Gay: He's a fastidious dresser who cooks and cleans, loves fine cuisine, and decorates his apartment with teddy bears ("Tie-bears", specifically) and kitsch. He also may or may not be wearing eyeliner and mascara.
Heel–Face Turn: Only does so after all the action is over, though. Specifically, it's prompted when he finds out that Tights is a Stunt Double aboard a spaceship that he watched fail so spectacularly, but the way he says it implies that he's been losing patience with the government for a while.
Medium Awareness: He realizes to a certain extent that time travels in panels.
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Is this to Omori.
Theme Naming: "Kata-Yude Tamago" is literally "Hard-Boiled Egg". (While he is a police officer, he's most certainly not a "hard-boiled" one.)

An Azuki

Alliterative Name: An Azuki.
Girlish Pigtails: She has two pigtails, bound by large ribbons.
Idol Singer: Basically all there is to her character.

Voiced by (Japanese): Masumi Asano
Voiced by (English): Bryn Apprill
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Andrea Arruti

A popular Idol Singer who got cast as the love interest in "Great Saiyaman vs. Mr. Satan".

All Love Is Unrequited: For Gohan, who is completely loyal to his wife Videl. Although, she doesn't mind.
Becoming the Mask: Though she is manipulated by Barry into making it look like she and Gohan are having a secret love affair, after a heart-to-heart talk with Gohan, she genuinely falls for him and refuses to continue with the plan, although Barry still ends up getting the incriminating "evidence" he wanted from her anyway.
The Dog Bites Back: After Barry blackmails her into trying to frame Gohan as cheating on his wife, she one-ups him by blackmailing him into keeping quiet about Gohan's superhero identity by threatening to tell the public about his time as Watagash's host if he spills the beans.
Hero-Worshipper: Like most of the rest of the world, she's a fan of Mr. Satan. She also gets pretty excited about spending time with Gohan after learning he's the Great Saiyaman. However, this is all a ploy since she was bullied by Barry into setting up Gohan to make it appear that she's having a love affair with him. She doesn't follow through with it after Gohan shows her real compassion and warmth, and truly does see Gohan as a hero.
Hidden Depths: She opens up to Gohan about some insecurities of hers and how worthless she feels compared to him, a superhero who's friends with aliens.
Hopeless Suitor: Her Ship Tease with Gohan is obviously never going to progress beyond being a one-sided crush.
Moment of Weakness: Even though she knows Gohan is Happily Married, she can't help but give him a genuine parting kiss as appreciation for how kind he was to her. Videl does not hold it against her when she is shown the photos of them kissing by Barry.
Nice Girl: Probably one of the nicer characters in the show, despite knowing the Great Saiyaman's identity and using it to blackmail him. Although, the blackmail is extremely mild (compared to Videl's). She only wants Gohan to fly her home and work on her lines, and even that was because she was set up by Barry. She later blackmails Barry into keeping Gohan's identity a secret.
Secret-Keeper: She ends up finding out the Great Saiyaman's Secret Identity after eavesdropping on a conversation between Gohan and Bulma. She promises to keep it a secret though. She also makes sure Barry never tells anyone about the Great Saiyaman by threatening to reveal that he was the the monster who wrecked the city.
Ship Tease: She plays the Great Saiyaman's love interest in the movie, and ironically enough, she meets and develops genuine romantic feelings for the real Great Saiyaman.

Yurin

**Yurin (ユーリン, Yūrin)**

Voiced by (Japanese): Ai Maeda
Voiced by (English): Luci Christian
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Ana Lobo

A girl from Tien's past who was a member of the Crane School along with Tien and Chiaotzu and after Tien left vowed once she grew up to find and defeat him.

Butt-Monkey: She tries to be threatening but spends a majority of the episode having to deal with Roshi ogling her. Twice she unintentionally flashes him to her displeasure.
Chinese Vampire: With her spells, she can mind control anyone and make them into a sort of jiang-shi. Thanks to this, she could control Master Roshi and give Goku a good impression of what Roshi true power really is like.
Easily Forgiven: After her plan is foiled, Tien offers to let her enroll in his dojo so she can become stronger. She does apologize and ask for forgiveness though for what she did.
Edible Theme Naming: Her name comes from Yūrinchī, a chinese fried chicken.
Expy: Fanservice version of Chichi.
Evil Counterpart: She seems almost like a more vengeful version of teen Chichi in both appearance and personality.
Evil Is Petty: Her reason for using witchcraft on Tien's students and trashing his dojo is basically to one-up Tien after he ignored her pleas to fight him, left the school to go traveling, and then forgot about her. Tien even calls her out on how trivial it is. Although it is also heavily implied that her real reason was a crush on him, making this a different trope.
Heel–Face Turn: Ends up stopping her plans for vengeance against Tien and joining his dojo.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's a petty villain that has no relevance past her episode ever again, but instead of being punished for her crimes and disappearing/dying like most one-off villains, she apologizes to Tien and the townsfolk and ends up one of his new dojo students. Judging by The Cameo in the finale, she's definitely pulled a bit of a Heel–Face Turn as a full-time student aiding the others.
Male Gaze: Her debut (and only) episode emphasizes her rear and legs shortly after her introduction.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: While Yurin's fighting power is low in of itself, she knows witchcraft and using paper talismans applied to a person's face, puts them under her control as she does with Tien's students and Roshi.
Older Than They Look: Appears to be in her late teens to early 20s. Since she was in training when Tenshinhan left the Crane school, she'd have to be in her thirties or forties based on her apparent age in the flashback.
Reluctant Fanservice Girl: First appears wearing a traditional outfit but is dragged into wearing a more revealing outfit by Roshi complete with her shoulders bared and a miniskirt, which she does not like at all.
Remember the New Guy?: Apparently she was a student at the Crane School like Tien and Chiaotzu, but was never even mentioned once until her debut episode.
Revenge: For a bit of a petty and selfish reason in that she held a vendetta for a ridiculous amount of time for Tien leaving the Crane School. Somehow it's this that she hangs onto, and not the shaming of Master Shen, the death of Shen's brother Tao or the like. Then again, see Tsundere below.
Tsundere: Yurin leaps between being excited to find Tien again, and wanting revenge. Considering how easily she pulls a Heel–Face Turn when he asks her to join his dojo, and the fact that her entire spiel of vengeance focused entirely around Tien leaving the Crane School rather than anything else, odds are she might have had a crush on him when she was younger and just exhibited it as violent rage. Tien accepting her as a student brings out the "dere" side afterward, albeit with a weak claim that it was because he was pestering her about it.
Unknown Rival: Tien forgot about her after he left The Crane School and it wasn't until she called him a "three-eyed baldy" that he remembers who she is.
Womanchild: She acts like a teenage girl despite being in her thirties or forties.

Cerealians

The Cerealians

An alien race native to the planet Cereal that were wiped out by the Saiyans shortly before Kakarot/Son Goku was sent to Earth. Despite resembling humans, they have lifespans of up to 200 years and various powers based on their keen sight.

Charles Atlas Superpower: If a Cerealian were to undergo intense training for their entire lives, they could give even the strongest Saiyan a run for their money.
Edible Theme Naming: They're named after various grain-based breakfasts.
Foil: To the Saiyans. The Saiyans are known for being Blood Knights who charge headfirst into a fight and gleefully wipe out populations, while the Cerealians are sociable beings who share their planet with non-native races and their combat abilities are based around sniping rather than brawling. The Saiyans are named after vegetables, while the Cerealians are named after grains.
Human Alien: Just like the Saiyans and certain members of Frieza's empire, they look just like regular humans, the only difference being their mismatched eyes.
Long-Lived: Cerealians have a lifespan of 200 years.
Older Than They Look: Just like with the Saiyans, Cerealians age at a slower rate than humans, being able to pass for 20-somethings well into their 50s. Given their extended lifespans, this is to be expected.
Super-Senses: Their right eye is "evolved" in structure to grant them incredible eyesight, looking like the pupil and iris are fused together into a red spot. Under certain conditions, they can temporarily transform their left eye to match.

Granolah

Granolah (グラノラKan, Guranora)

A bounty hunter, and the titular main antagonist-turned-protagonist of the Granolah the Survivor Saga. Granolah is the only remaining member of the Cerealians, a race wiped out by the Saiyans long ago. He is introduced stealing OG-73, the infamous android used by Moro, for a bounty offered by the information broker Elec.

He is aided by an AI in his headset called Oatmeel.

Actually a Doombot: As it turns out, Granolah had sent a split copy of him after the Saiyans, since he wished to conserve some of his power for the eventual showdown with Frieza. When it turns out that the copy can't handle Goku's Mastered Ultra Instinct, he dispels it and take down Goku while the latter is still surprised.
Anti-Villain: At first, his only goal is to avenge his race's destruction by killing Frieza, but his wish to become the strongest in the universe leads him into conflict with Goku and Vegeta as all three of them are played into the Heeters' hands.
Awesomeness by Analysis: Thanks to his eye, Granolah manages to deduce the nature of Ultra Instinct, and by observing Goku's blood flow and muscle movements, he's able to land a blow on his vitals, allowing him to drop the Saiyan to his knees. He also understood that Goku was still not at full power.
Benevolent Alien Invasion: He bears no ill will towards the Sugarians, the naïve alien race that purchased the barren planet Cereal from the Heeters in order to rebuild their own civilisation. However, their existence serves as a painful reminder of Granola's own lost race and he's uncomfortable seeing their glass-domed citadels replace the original cities of the Cerealians on the very same land ruined by the Saiyans years prior. He has no qualms about stealing the second Dragon Ball from them, but he cannot bear to cause collateral damage to their cities during his battles against the Saiyan duo, showing that he does care for them.
Big Bad Ensemble: He shares the spotlight with Elec, while Granolah's major grudge against Frieza and the Saiyans are the driving force of the arc, Elec's mechanizations and plans are as much of a driving force of the conflict.
Blood Knight: He relishes the opportunity to fight Frieza and the last remaining Saiyans.
Bounty Hunter: How Granolah earns his living.
Cast from Lifespan:
- His wish to become the strongest in the universe would normally not be grantable, but the Cerealian Dragon is able to achieve a similar effect... for a price. Namely, all but three years left of the lifespan he would have originally had, under the logic that he then receives all the power he could have gathered during those years all at once.
- His ultimate attack also drains his life-force, to the point that he was prepared to die by firing it to kill Vegeta, until he was interrupted. When he does fire it at Gas later on, he comments that doing so probably shortened his lifespan even more.
Character Development: Granolah starts out as a bounty hunter and assassin with a mind full of vengeance. After defeating Gas he turns pacifist and tells Macki and Oil to look after their brother. Granolah has finally learned his lesson that revenge only leads to more pain and grudges and finally lets go of his grudge against Frieza and the Saiyans and retires from being a bounty hunter so he can start a new life of with Monaito of living in peace and having normal lives with no fighting.
Combat Pragmatist: When Goku and Vegeta come looking for him, Granolah begins the fight by hurling several deadly projectiles from afar, using his newfound might, special eye, and expertise as a sniper to overwhelm the two Saiyans. Had it not been for a timely Senzu Bean, that opening move alone would've been enough to kill even Goku.
Death Seeker: As his battle with Vegeta rages on with no clear victory in sight for either party, Granolah charges up a huge, self-destructive ki blast and declares his willingness to burn his remaining life away just to put the stubborn Saiyan prince down, completely losing sight of his true mission to kill Frieza. His Heroic BSoD moment in the Sugarian city may have influenced his suicidal decision.
Didn't Think This Through: Argued by Monaito who tells him that while he may be the strongest in the universe today, he does not think about the dangers in the future. True enough, the Heeters wish for Gas to be the strongest.
Dub Name Change: Oatmeel is renamed Automil in the Spanish translation.
Edible Theme Naming: The Cerealians are named after different types of breakfast. In Granolah and Oatmeel's cases, they're named after granola and oatmeal, respectively. The Cerealian race itself is named after cereal.
Establishing Character Moment: Granolah's eager reaction to Frieza's revival. That he responds positively to this because of the opportunity to kill the tyrant himself, without any regard for the further harm Frieza will cause, shows just how consumed by the desire for revenge he is.
Everyone Has Standards: When Vegeta brings their fight to an evacuated Sugarian city, Granolah puts aside all of his bravado and outright begs Vegeta to take the fight somewhere else. He may be consumed by vengeance, but Granolah doesn't want to damage the Sugarians' home the same way the Saiyans ruined his. This is especially notable as he was willing to brawl in the Cerealian city ruins, albeit reluctantly. When he sees a lone mother and child cowering from the battle, he has a full-blown Heroic BSoD moment.
Evil Is Easy: Not necessarily evil in action or intent, but resorting to wishing for ultimate power from a dragon is directly at odds with the natural self-improvement philosophies of the protagonists. It's also worth noting that none of the series' antagonists have used the Dragon Balls to directly increase their own power.
Exposition Fairy: Oatmeel functions as this and The Watson, questioning and relaying details about Granola's own past to him, creating a few awkward As You Know situations. This raises some questions about why Oatmeel lacks so much information about his own friend/master's history...
Expy: Granolah shares many similarities from Toki, the main protagonist of Toriyama's one-shot manga, Kintoki. Examples:
- Like Toki, Granolah also has spiked hair, sports a scarf and an outfit with a green-brown aesthetic.
- Toki is a member of the Kinme, a clan who possess golden eyes which make them gifted marksmen, similar to Granolah being a Cerealian - who possess a special red eye that makes them good marksmen.
- Granolah and Toki are amongst the last of their kind.
- Toki has a short lifespan like the rest of his race and is on a quest due to this fact. Granolah is impatiently on a quest due to his short lifespan, due to wishing for power rather than natural reasons.
- Granolah is a bounty hunter who makes money by selling targets to the Heeters, similarly Toki is a hunter who kills Thundras and then sells them to make a living.
Eye Scream: Granolah ends up having his precious eyes shot out by Gas after being weakened enough.
Fatal Flaw: His thirst for revenge on Frieza. While no one would shed a tear for the tyrant, Granolah's first reaction to his resurrection is a rather unhinged glee at the prospect he can finally have revenge rather than horror, and it's the reason he makes a wish that costs most of his lifespan. It also makes him easily manipulated by the Heeters.
From Nobody to Nightmare: He quickly ascends from a highly skilled but relatively weak mercenary from an almost extinct species to the mightiest warrior in the universe thanks to a wish made on the Cerealian Dragon Balls.
Heroic BSoD: Flashes back to his own traumatic past after seeing a Sugarian mother and child cowering from him during his fierce battle against Vegeta, realising that he has become no better than the Saiyans that attacked his planet. Unfortunately, it becomes an Ignored Epiphany as Vegeta goads him over it.
He Who Fights Monsters: Granolah's fight with Vegeta leads to them brawling in a populated city. When Granolah sees a mother and child cowering in fear of him, he's reminded of his own childhood when he and his mother were terrorised by the Saiyans.
Human Aliens: The Cerealians, and by default Granolah, look no different from regular Earthlings, barring their right eyes which can be used to see from great distances.
Ignored Epiphany: When Granolah sees two innocent bystanders giving him the same terrified look he and his mother gave the Saiyans all those years ago, Granolah's reaction is to take it out on Vegeta, blaming the Saiyans for dragging him down to their level, when the whole fight was his idea.
Last of His Kind: Granolah is the last survivor of the Cerealian race, which was wiped out by the Saiyans.
Locked Out of the Loop: Granolah believes the false story that the Saiyans were wiped out by a meteor. He's also unaware of Frieza's revival — at least, until Elec reveals that to him.
Long-Range Fighter: Granolah's species are natural snipers with a right eye specifically tailored for it. Thus, while knowing how to fight in melee, he prefers to fight at range where he's more comfortable.
Magical Eye: As a Cerealian, his right eye looks different than normal and can be used to see across great distances. Oatmeel notes that Granolah's ability in particular is a cut above the rest of his kind and makes him an incredible sniper. After being on the receiving end of a beatdown from a newly-awakened Ultra Ego Vegeta, Granolah's left eye awakens into a second red eye, echoing Vegeta's own newfound strength as he destroys a planet-destroying attack launched his way.
Made of Iron: He's durable enough to go toe-to-toe with beings that have achieved Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego. While Goku and Vegeta weren't trying to kill him, the fact that he can take a punch from beings who are on par with gods and angels is a testament to his power.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: When he finally does run into Goku and Vegeta, he tries to take them out as fast as possible. Downplayed, as he does spend a little time talking to them and telling them he's the strongest in the universe, but then immediately tries to kill Goku twice on the grounds that he only needs one of them alive to give him the information he thinks they have.
Older Than They Look: Granolah witnessed his race being exterminated by Bardock before the events of the story, with the heeters noting that he's currently 50 years old. Despite this, he looks to be in his 20s or early 30s. Chapter 70 of the DBS manga reveals his race can live up to 2 centuries.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's been a working as a bounty hunter since he was a young child and he had already earned a fearsome reputation back then.
Power at a Price: The price being several decades of his expected lifespan.
Pressure Point: While he has plenty of power in his regular punches, Granolah specializes in hitting vital points, which he can locate through the use of his special eye. It's effective enough to severely rattle Goku and dispels his god-forms whenever he's hit.
Revenge: Granolah is consumed by his need to avenge his people.
Revenge by Proxy: He doesn't care a bit that Goku and Vegeta were only children at the time the Cerealians were wiped out and thus had nothing to do with it.
Spell My Name With An S: His name has been alternatively spelt as "Granolah", "Granolla" or simply "Granola".
Steampunk: His design was inspired by this aesthetic movement, to emphasise the fact that he is a relic from an old civilisation.
Took a Level in Kindness: After hearing the truth regarding the death of his people, Granolah apologizes to Goku and Vegeta for taking his wrath out on them. He also takes pity on Gas once he's defeated and lets him live.
The Unfettered: There's no risk he's unwilling to take in his mission to become the strongest in the universe.
Unskilled, but Strong: As said by Vegeta, Granolah has immense raw power, and does fight with finesse, but he lacks the Saiyans's considerable battle experience, which Vegeta demonstrates when he rattles Granolah with an attack of his own despite being weaker than him.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Back when the Cerealians were wiped out, Granolah was unconscious when Bardock rescued him and his mother, only to wake up right when they were hiding from the Heeters. As soon as Granolah saw Bardock's tail, he cried out in surprise, blowing their cover and attracting the Heeters to their hiding place. This moment of shortsightedness led to Muezli being killed.
Villain Has a Point: Despite being an antagonist, he has every reason to hate the Saiyans and Frieza, since the former were wiping out entire populations for fun while the latter is a racist, sadistic ego-maniac. His only flaw is taking his wrath out on Goku and Vegeta, who had nothing to do with his race's demise and also see Frieza as an enemy.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He wishes to exterminate Frieza from the face of the universe, but carelessly throws away his life and friendship with Monaito in exchange for the power boost necessary to defeat the intergalactic tyrant.
World's Strongest Man: He makes a wish using the Cerealian Dragon Balls to become the strongest in the universe so he can get revenge on both Frieza and the Saiyans. Despite lacking both the battle experience and sacrificing his lifespan to achieve his wish, he's still powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with Goku and Vegeta.
Your Days Are Numbered: When he makes his wish to be the strongest in the universe, the dragon Toronbo tells him he will have to sacrifice his lifespan by 150 years. This means he now has 3 years left to live.

Muezli

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/granolahs_mom.jpg

Granolah's mother who died decades before the events of the Granolah arc.

Action Mom: She does everything she can to protect her son when Freeza's forces arrive to take the planet.
Edible Theme Naming: Like her son, she is named after a breakfast grain, muesli.
Morality Pet: Her determination to protect her son reminds Bardock of his own wife and son, which inspires a rare moment of compassion in the Saiyan warrior. In spite of himself, Bardock goes to extraordinary lengths to keep Muezli, Granolah and Monaito safe from the other Saiyans.
Posthumous Character: Died during the Saiyan invasion forty years ago, alongside every other Cerealian besides Granolah. However, she was not murdered by a Saiyan as Granolah was led to believe all his life. In fact, she was saved by none other than Bardock and was actually killed by Elec.
Strong Family Resemblance: Muezli looks like a female version of Granolah.

Unsorted

Monaka

Monaka (モナカ)

Voiced by (Japanese): Masami Kikuchi
Voiced by (English): Daman Mills
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Roberto Mendiola

Monaka is a deliveryman whom the God of Destruction Beerus uses as motivation for Goku and Vegeta to get stronger. Beerus claims that he is the strongest fighter of Universe 7. During the Champa saga, he was chosen as the last member to fight in the tournament.

Accidental Hero:
- At the conclusion of the Potaufeu Saga, Monaka accidentally steps on the core of Comméson just as he wakes up from his coma, which acts as a catalyst for Copy-Vegeta's defeat and gives Goku the opportunity to finish him off.
- At the end of the Champa Arc, while his punch didn't even phase Hit, it gave Hit the opportunity to throw the fight out of respect for Goku. Because of that, he technically won the tournament for Universe 7.
The Ace: Beerus claims that Monaka is this, citing him as the strongest mortal in Universe 7 who gave him a much better fight than Goku. He tells members of his team to do rock-paper-scissors to chose who will fight in what order, but says that Monaka will go last since is the 'ace'. Beerus also seems to be afraid of him, going out of his way to keep Monaka happy. It's revealed by Whis that Monaka isn't that strong and is actually an amateur fighter who Beerus builds up to motivate Goku and Vegeta into becoming stronger.
Always Someone Better: According to Beerus, Goku is the second strongest opponent he's fought. This guy is just an amateur brought in to motivate Goku and Vegeta to get stronger.
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Monaka is officially the team captain for U7 during the Champa Saga since he is the strongest fighter in U7 according to Beerus. It's all a big Motivational Lie. He's actually quite weak and faints at the sight of fighting.
Berserk Button: Beerus claims that anyone who interrupts his concentration whether friend or foe gets annihilated in an instant, even going as far as saying he destroyed a whole planet because of this. This was just a lie to prevent Goku from finding out that Monaka is actually really weak.
Beware the Silly Ones: He's Krillin's size with giant nipples and wears a leotard, yet Whis claims even Beerus would have a hard time stopping him if he chooses to go all out. It's saying something when Beerus, God of Destruction, tries not to anger Monaka, and beats Goku when the latter tries to test Monaka's strength by punching him. Subverted when it's revealed that he isn't strong and is a coward who faints at anything that surprises him.
Beware the Nice Ones: Whis describes the people of Planet Wagashi, Monaka's home planet, as this. They are kind and docile, but their true power is such that even Beerus could have a hard time with them. Whis is lying, they are probably just as weak as him.
Courier: This is his occupation. Beerus puts a huge pile of gold in his truck as thanks for being the Motivational Lie for Goku. Chi-Chi is impressed that Monaka works on top of being very powerful. That is before she learns, along with everyone else minus Goku, that Monaka isn't strong.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Goku tried testing his "power" by sucker-punching him in the face (which resulted in Monaka not evading the attack along with showing signs of physical damage and putting Monaka close to tears). Piccolo states that he can't even sense his power level as well. Additionally, according to Whis, Monaka mentally "fainted after seeing Goku's Kamehameha in the first battle", but with all of this, Beerus still states that he's the team ace and will incinerate anyone, friend or foe, who interrupts him while "meditating". This ends up all being false, since Monaka is actually a weakling who faints at anything that remotely surprises him.
Dull Surprise: When it isn't related to fighting, this tends to be Monaka's default expression towards everything.
Foil: Is one to Dr. Rota from Universe 6. Both are Joke Characters who oddly stand out for their respective universes and aren't really that powerful. However, while Dr. Rota was able to at least grapple with Prum, Monaka is barely able to lay a dent on anybody. Plus, both are somewhat Accidental Heroes in a way, while Monaka has accidentally won the Universe 6 & 7 Tournament (due to Hit's disinterest in the prize), Dr. Rota indirectly helped Vegeta beat Prum, as he was able to No-Sell almost all Ki attacks. Plus, Monaka showed up for the first tournament and didn't show up for the second one, while Dr. Rota showed up for the second one and not the first one. Lastly, both characters are voiced by the same voice actor.
Edible Theme Naming: Besides its in-universe meaning, his name is also the name of a Japanese dessert similar to a sandwich cookie.
Gonk: Just look at him!
Joke Character: He's not as strong as is claimed, and he's only there just as a way to motivate Goku and Vegeta to become stronger and to win the tournament. He may or may not be strong in his own right, unlike most examples of this trope.
Karmic Jackpot: He's actually a Joke Character, and him going against Hit was akin to an ant fighting a steamroller. That said, he still fought, gave Hit a chance to throw the fight, and, to reward his services, Beerus pays him a literal truckload of treasure.
Lovable Coward: While he's very nervous and rather cowardly during the tournament and when Goku expresses his desire to fight him, it's very hard to blame him for being so nervous considering that he's just a delivery man with no powers who just got dragged in a game between gods and who finds himself forced to face Physical Gods infinitely stronger than him.
Meaningful Name: His name translates to "He of Great Ponta (He with the big nipples)."
Motivational Lie: His true purpose. Beerus made up the story about him being the strongest fighter he ever met to motivate Goku and Vegeta into becoming stronger and better able to win the tournament. The lie ends up backfiring since Buu fails the written test, leaving Beerus with only three capable fighters. Later, Beerus in a Monaka costume fights Goku and hilariously, when Goku sees the Monaka costume and Monaka himself, he believes that Monaka has splitting abilities similar to Majin Buu.
Mr. Exposition: Brings up the fact to see the Unnamed Planet and the surrounding Super Dragon Balls from a 3D perspective, allowing Whis to figure out that the planet was indeed the final Super Dragon Ball.
Nervous Wreck: He's so nervous he passes out by the sight of Goku's Kamehameha and Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue aura. When it was his turn fighting Hit, he nervously walked into the arena (and dropped on the ground as well). He only won against Hit because Hit was returning the favor of Goku withdrawing ... if Hit didn't find Goku that much of a worthy opponent, Monaka would have most probably been utterly obliterated. Monaka also gets very nervous when Beerus tells him that he still wants to use him to motivate Goku further after the tournament. Additionally, Monaka had a panic attack when Goku was dragging him to go spar with him.
Nice Guy: He's a pretty good sport about Goku sucker punching him in the face for no reason. In the manga, Whis states that he is polite and gentle in general. When it doesn't involve fighting strong opponents that he knows he would lose against, Monaka is pretty nice to the other characters.
Noodle Incident: As of right now, we don't know what caused Beerus to have trouble with Monaka. Although this is probably just a story Beerus made up to motivate Goku.
Overshadowed by Awesome: He's a lot weaker than Beerus claims, but he still manages to take a punch from Saiyan Beyond God Goku to the face without flinching, which has to count for something. Krillin was sent flying across the countryside and broke his leg taking such a punch, and Goku was weaker since that was before he trained with Whis. However, Trunks elbowed Monaka on accident and he ended up crying, so his power tier compared to the lower tiered Z-Fighters is unknown.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Only goes up to Goku's waist, but Beerus claims that he gave a much better fight than Goku ever did, which isn't true. Beerus only made that up to motivate Goku and Vegeta. But that he managed to tank a punch from a Physical God with Nothing other than a few scrapes shows that while he may not be the strongest, he's not the weakest either.
People Puppets: After Goku tears up the Monaka costume during his sparring match with Beerus, Vegeta and Piccolo rushes to fix it. When Goku asked what is going on, Vegeta and Piccolo pretend that Monaka is controlling their bodies.
Put on a Bus: Monaka hasn't been seen since the defeat of Copy Vegeta. He was mentioned during the Universal Survival Saga, but due to the nature of the tournament and the consequences, Beerus quickly stated that he was sick.
Quaking with Fear: He was so terrified of fighting Hit that his teeth chattered and his knees trembled.
The Quiet One: Around strong fighters, he usually just stares into blankness and sits/stands there. This is actually because he's passed out ... however, he talks normally whenever it doesn't involve Beerus's lie.
Running Gag: He always faints when something even slightly surprising happens.
Shoo Out the Clowns: Guess who isn't a fighter for the Universal Survival Saga? This is probably in fear of the consequences, as the Universe is in stake as opposed to Earth. He and Jaco didn't make an appearance or mention in the Future Trunks Saga either, which was far darker than the series has been so far.
Sleeps with Both Eyes Open: Whenever he passes out, he keeps both of his eyes wide open.
Space Trucker: Well more like space delivery man, but close enough.
Walking Spoiler: After his buildup through the Champa Saga, it's safe to assume that most of the spoilers on this page are about how weak Monaka is.
Wealthy Ever After: At the end of the Champa Arc, as a reward for his services, Beerus pays him a small fortune worth of treasure.
World's Strongest Man: Beerus claims that he is the strongest mortal in Universe 7 since he gave him a better fight than Super Saiyan God Goku and forces him to fight last at the tournament since he is The Ace. This is a lie Beerus created to give Goku and Vegeta motivation to keep growing stronger and to win him the tournament. To keep Goku from finding out the truth, Beerus dressed in a Monaka costume and sparred with Goku.
- In the Manga, Zamasu falls for the lie and initially steals Monaka's body.

Zuno

**Zuno (ズノー, Zunō)**

Voiced by (Japanese): Keiichi Sonobe
Voiced by (English): Daniel Penz
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Carlos del Campo

An omniscient being. He knows everything in the universe.

Ambiguously Bi: Though he obviously prefers women, he'll answer one question for a man if they kiss his cheek.
The Bus Came Back: He returns in the Granolah arc after a fairly long absence, where he once again provides vital information to a group of villains.
Chekhov's Gunman: In his initial appearance, he gives Bulma information on the Super Dragon Balls and isn't mentioned again. In the Future Trunks Saga, Zamasu breaks into his temple to gain information about the Super Dragon Balls and Goku. He also appears in the Granolah Arc, giving the Heeters information on the Dragon Balls.
Has a Type: Turns out he has a thing for feisty women like Bulma and Macki, which is why he'll answer more than one question for them if they kiss him.
Jackass Genie: Counts any rhetorical question as one of the questions he will answer, will only make one appointment every seven years, and insults Bulma's age. Zamasu won't take any of that though, and forcefully barges in his temple.
Living MacGuffin: The Heeters seek him out so they can pry him for information. They convince him to answer ten questions, including one regarding the weaknesses of the Saiyans.
Meaningful Name: "Zunô" means "Brain" in Japanese, appropriately.
The Omniscient: He knows about everything in the universe. He knew exactly what Bulma's breast size was, even before they began to drop. He's even more knowledgeable than Whis.
Small Role, Big Impact: Despite him showing up for only two scenes in the Future Trunks Saga, it's him telling Zamasu about the Super Dragon Balls and Goku that gives Zamasu the information needed to begin his plans, first by killing his master to become a Supreme Kai and taking the Time Ring, using it to go a year into the future, and making a wish on the Super Dragon Balls to take Goku's body, creating Goku Black.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: It's him giving information to Zamasu about the Super Dragon Balls and Goku, that kick starts the major events of the Future Trunks Saga and creates the Stable Time Loop.

Burp Man

**Burp Man (ゲップマン, Geppuman)**

Voiced by (Japanese): Yasunori Masutani
Voiced by (English): Vic Mignogna
Voiced by (Latin American Spanish): Ricardo Rocha

A character who only appears in the anime version, in episode 31. He's a red frog-like alien who is a serial dine and dasher.

Beast Man: As stated, he is a red frog-like alien.
The Cameo: Appears along with Jaco in the seventh ending, "Angels and Demons".
Keep It Foreign: Generally, the Funimation dub keeps his name as Geppuman.

The Scapegoat: He's one for Jaco when the latter accidentally blows up a valuable monument.
Stupid Crooks: Repeat offender or not, leaving diners without paying would only be a misdemeanor. When he sees a member of the Galactic Patrol, he freaks out and holds a hostage at gunpoint, upgrading his status to "felon".
Villainous Glutton: Zigzagged. Going from restaurant to restaurant, leaving without paying for your meals is clearly a criminal offense, but nothing serious. When he grabs a hostage and holds him at gunpoint, he establishes himself as a villain.

Bah

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bah_bro.png

On Planet Vampa, there is a race of giant snake-dog creatures. Although Paragus thought they were all Always Chaotic Evil, in truth some of them are capable of bonding with something not belonging to its kin. One of these creatures was Broly's training partner, and he named him "Bah" after the sounds he made.

Allegorical Character: He represents what the audience believes Broly is: an Always Chaotic Evil beast with no redeeming qualities, with Paragus serving as a Audience Surrogate about it. The fact Bah was able to bond with Broly mirrors his Character Development with Cheelai, Lemo and Goku at the end of the film.
Always Chaotic Evil: Paragus thought all the snake-dogs were feral uncontrollable beasts, yet Bah subverted this notion, as he was capable of bonding with Broly.
First Friend: To Broly. Meeting and playing with Bah had remained one of Broly's fondest memories, to the point he keeps the ear Paragus shot off as a pelt and becomes quite protective of it.
Only Friend: Bah was Broly's only friend. Quite tragic, they didn't even knew each other for that long.
Pet the Dog: In both ways. The Snake-dog creatures are known feral monsters, yet one of them managed to bond with a young Broly. This also works in-universe, as its friendship with the creature shows Broly is a pure-hearted Saiyan instead of the psychopath of old, as he retains Bah's memory with him all the time.
Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears for less than a minute in the film in the form of flashbacks, yet he gives a much more complete insight of Broly's as a character.
