* TheBusCameBack: It makes a return in ''Super'' when Goku figures out a way to traverse Fortuneteller Baba's forest without attracting monsters with his ki.
* CharacterDeath: Shortly after Krillin's first death at the hands of Tambourine, Kinto'un also gets destroyed by the winged demon, sending Goku into even more of a rage.
* CompanionCube: To a degree, though unlike most examples, Kinto'un is actually alive. Goku and Gohan are very attached to it, nevertheless.
* LegacyCharacter: After the first Kinto'un "dies", Karin gifts Goku a second one spawned from the Huge Kinto'un cloud that floats outside of Karin's Tower. This is where all Kinto'uns spawn from, including Goku's original, meaning that they are all functionally identical as smaller fragments of the same whole.
* MundaneUtility: By the Buu arc, its adventuring days are behind it, and now it only sees usage as a glorified private jet for Gohan to get to Satan City from his rural home in the Styx.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Being able to sit atop Kinto'un is one of the most practical ways of testing if somebody is pure of heart. Early in the series, the likes of Roshi, Bulma, Krillin and Yajirobe would fall straight through the cloud if they tried. Goku was the only one untainted by impure thoughts like lust, greed and cowardice. However, as the series goes on, more characters become able to ride it, including Chichi, [[Manga/DrSlump Arale]], Upa, Gohan, Goten and Uub.
* ShoutOut: Kinto'un, alongside the Nyoibo (Power Pole), is one of the most visible holdovers from Dragon Ball's literary inspiration, ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
* SuperSpeed: Kinto'un has an extraordinary top speed of Mach 1.5, though most of the main characters characters can outpace it with their own {{Flight}}. Gohan's friends note that his journey from home to school would take over five hours in the fastest jet plane on Earth, but Kinto'un can accomplish that distance in about half an hour.

* ~~BigDamnHeroes: Just as Gohan is about~~ TheAce: Through Namekian legend, the Nameless Namekian was considered a prodigy among prodigies with unrivaled fighting potential.

Goku was the only one untainted by impure thoughts like lust, greed and cowardice.~~ their combined power is far greater than either individual's peak had been to this point. However, as Piccolo remains the ~~series goes on, more characters become able to ride it, including Chichi, [[Manga/DrSlump Arale]], Upa, Gohan, Goten~~ dominant persona, and Uub.
* ShoutOut: Kinto'un, alongside in regards to his previous incarnations' memories, he attains only the ~~Nyoibo (Power Pole), is one~~ key knowledge of said memories, not the personal aspect.
* JackOfAllTrades: He was a Dragon Clan Namekian, which meant that he had mystical abilities and could create sets of Dragon Balls, but he was also far stronger than any Warrior Clan Namekian.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: He split himself into two beings that represented the good and evil halves of his soul. They became known as Kami and King Piccolo. Centuries later, King Piccolo's son/reincarnation re-merged with Kami to combat Cell and briefly abandoned the name Piccolo, calling himself the Nameless Namekian. However, Piccolo being the "base" of the most visible holdovers from Dragon Ball's literary inspiration, ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.

* TheVoiceless: It cannot speak, but he had forgotten it ~~does express itself in other ways.~~by the time he arrived on Earth. When Piccolo and Kami finally merged back together, he decided to keep the name "Piccolo".

Originally a con artist who terrorized a small village using his shapeshifting powers, Oolong is a greedy, lecherous pig (literally); when Goku defeated him, Oolong joined him and Bulma in their search for the Dragon Balls. At first a useless whiner, Oolong later proved his worth by "stealing" Pilaf's wish from the Dragon Balls (by wishing for a pair of girl's panties). He and Puar were rivals in shapeshifting school, but because Oolong dropped out in kindergarten, his powers only allow him to stay transformed for five minutes.

Goku's adoptive grandfather, the one who found him in the woods and initially trained him in martial arts. He died prior to the series, crushed to death by Goku's Great Ape form. Though mostly appearing in flashbacks, he makes an appearance in person during the Fortuneteller Baba Saga, and Goku's first son is named in his honor.
----
* BackForTheFinale: He returns in the final two episodes of the Fire Mountain/Wedding Dress filler arc after the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament which served as the conclusion to the original ''Dragon Ball'' anime. He meets Goku as a young man alongside Chi-Chi who he'd recently been engaged to in their quest to save the Ox-King from an inferno caused by the Furnace of Eight Divisions, where Gohan serves as a bodyguard for the furnace's keeper.
* BodyguardingABadass: The final arc of the original anime reveals that he's taken up a part-time job as Annin's bodyguard, who herself is a deity more than capable of handling Goku who had just recently defeated Piccolo Jr.
* BodyguardCrush: He guards the goddess Annin as shown in a filler arc and Goku thinks [[ShipTease that there's a little more to it than that.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: During the Baba Saga, he mentions having a lot of friends back in Other World, "and most of them are brunettes". Nonetheless, Goku states that Gohan always taught him to be respectful towards women.
* ClimaxBoss: Serves as this to Goku in the Baba arc, and to his entire second search for the Dragon Balls as a whole. Goku [[FinalExamBoss has to pull every trick he's learned]] against him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Implied. He admits to being "a little odd" in the Bardock special, and Goku himself describes him as a "very odd fellow."
* CoolOldGuy: He doesn't appear much, but he served as [[WorldsStrongestMan Goku's]] first instructor in the martial arts and is widely regarded as a legend in that world in the early parts of the story.
* DirtyOldMan: Part of the reason why he doesn't want to be brought back to life? Too many hot chicks in heaven. However, he isn't nearly as bad as Master Roshi, and Goku himself states that Gohan was in fact respectful of women and always told him to be the same.
* FamedInStory: Yamcha had heard about him back in his bandit days and immediately recognized his Power Pole when Goku used it against him during their initial fight.
* FamilyThemeNaming: He started the 'Go' tend in Goku's family; Son Goku and his sons--'''Go'''han and '''Go'''ten.
* GoodIsNotSoft: His appearance in the Wedding Dress filler has him trying to violently stop Goku from extinguishing the Furnace of Eight Division for doing so would cause the physical and spiritual planes of existence to be closed off from one another and allow evil souls to take root in the living world, which would cause utter chaos. This despite the fact that leaving the furnace on would inevitably cause the Ox-King, his best friend and fellow disciple under Master Roshi, to burn to death in his own castle on Fire Mountain.[[note]]Fire Mountain happens to be in the path of the furnace's exhaust which reaches all across the Earth[[/note]] A flashback to Goku's childhood late into ''Z'' also shows that he could be strict while training his grandson, though only to teach him discipline.
* LivingLegend: Well, he was before his death.
* ManlyFacialHair: A big white one, similar to Master Roshi's, and he was Goku's original teacher and was considered one of the greatest martial artists in the world. When he returns for a day, he manages to give Goku a hard match, the same Goku who defeated Mercenary Tao and destroyed the entire Red Ribbon Army by himself just hours ago.
* MasterApprenticeChain: Although his time was short, he trained Goku before he was killed and was a student of Master Roshi:
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr > Son Goku > Son Gohan, Pan, and Uub
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr. > Son Goku > Son Gohan > Son Goten
* MuggleFosterParents: While he was extremely powerful for a human, given that he was considered one of the greatest martial arts experts in the world, he's still a muggle compared to Goku who is a HumanAlien from a powerful warrior race.
* NiceGuy: A decent and kind-hearted warrior and it was because of being this that Kakarotto was raised into becoming Goku, TheHero we know and love.
* OldMaster: In his appearance during the Fortuneteller Baba Saga, he holds his own against Goku quite well. Later still in the Fire Mountain filler, he can pin down his now 18-year-old grandson with only a little difficulty. Keep in mind that Goku has managed to defeat two different variations of a demon king by this point and had finally won the World Martial Arts Tournament only two days prior.
* ParentalSubstitute: He finds Goku in the mountains as a toddler not long after he lands on Earth. He takes him in and raises him as his own grandson. It's rough at first since Goku was an unruly and violent child, but Gohan manages to get him under control after Goku falls and hits his head.
* PosthumousCharacter: By the time the series begins, he's long dead.
* ShipTease: He has some romantic subtext with Annin, a goddess, in a filler arc, much to Goku's amusement.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's dead by the series' beginning and only appears in person during the Fortuneteller Baba Saga, but it was him finding Goku and raising him that turned Goku from the future destroyer of humanity to the altruistic AllLovingHero we know and love.
* UnseenNoMore: Grandpa Gohan was TheGhost by virtue of being dead. While he was mentioned a lot, he never made an appearance in the first arc and most of the second arc, before making a surprise appearance at the end as a literal ghost.
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: It was his kindness towards Goku, along with him hitting his head, that made Goku the kind young child we meet at the beginning of ''Dragon Ball''.

The legendary Ox-King of Fire Mountain.[[note]]also known as "Gyuumaou", literally Japanese for "Ox-Demon-King"[[/note]] The Ox-King terrorized the countryside to keep would-be thieves away from his castle. When Goku and his friends came looking for the Dragon Ball in his treasury, he relents (he couldn't get into his own castle anyway because of the wall of flames around it) and offers Goku his daughter Chi-Chi's hand in marriage. Ox-King turned out to be one of Master Roshi's pupils and a friend of Goku's Grandpa Gohan. After his daughter settled down with Goku, he became a doting grandfather to Gohan and Goten.
----
* AscendedExtra: He gets more appearances in the original anime with Chi-Chi before becoming a mainstay in the ''Z'' era. The first is in the Red Ribbon Army arc when Colonel Silver and Emperor Pilaf end up targeting him for a dragon ball he accidentally obtained when slaughtering a pteranodon for a wedding feast (he thought that Goku and Chi-Chi were going to be wed immediately). His second is in the King Piccolo arc where the titular villain sics King Furry's guard on him in order to continue his slaughter of the world's renowned martial artists so they can't potentially seal him away again. The final part of ''Dragon Ball'' also makes him a DistressedDude in the Wedding Dress filler arc where he has to protect his late wife's gown in order to see Chi-Chi wear it at her own ceremony.
* BigFun: He's a large jovial man especially from ''Z'' onward.
* CoolOldGuy: Being a grandfather and a retired fighter fits this trope.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''Dragon Ball'', he had a role as a supporting character. He doesn't appear as much in ''Z'', but when he does, he usually appears with his daughter.
* DirtyOldMan: Only one moment in the Garlic Jr. Saga shows him perving on someone, namely Maron while she's sunbathing. Then again, he's a student of Master Roshi and even his fellow disciple Son Gohan admitted to having a lot of pretty dead ladies back in the afterlife. Chi-Chi ''really'' didn't care for that.
* DistressedDude: For the Fire Mountain/Wedding Dress filler arc at the end of the first ''DB'' anime, most of his screen time is spent trapped running through the burning remains of his castle as he tries to survive and preserve his late wife's titular dress so that Chi-Chi can wear it at her ceremony.
* DotingParent: He's very fond of his daughter.
* DotingGrandparent: The Ox-King is very fond of his grandsons, often buying them toys and spoiling them.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: He was a redhead throughout most of the original ''DB'' anime before the Wedding Dress filler arc recolored him black which has mostly stuck with him throughout the franchise's duration. The full-color manga in that earlier period also colors his hair black.
* {{Expy}}: To, well, the Ox-King/Bull Demon King of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'', straight down to having ''the literal same name'' in kanji/hanzi characters (牛魔王). This Ox-King is a bit more chill and a family man than the one in the novel, though, and naturally like many of the other ''[=JttW=]'' characters his importance fades as time goes on, especially once the Saiyans start showing up.
* FamilyThemeNaming: He has a daughter named Chi-Chi (milk/breast), carrying the cow theme.
* GentleGiant: He used to be quite violent, but mellowed out after Chi-Chi fell in love with Goku.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Ox-King intentionally hid a nicer side to his first appearance to prevent thieves from coming into his castle and robbing his gold. That, and taking his daughter. So, [[DisproportionateRetribution he terrorized the nearby village]], [[ShroudedInMyth and legends of him spread as a bloodthirsty demonic tyrant]]. Suffice to say, this wasn't the best course of action he could have taken (though, it was pretty effective). Father and daughter being inhumanly strong, notwithstanding (the latter killed a ''T. Rex'' with ease at ''twelve years of age''). He later got reprimanded for this by Master Roshi, who told him to apologize to the villagers for how he treated them, and mellowed out... after his home on Fire Mountain was blown to bits by Roshi.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: In the entire franchise there has only ever been one image of Chi-Chi's mother, a family portrait of her as a baby, sitting on her mother's lap, who is sitting ''[[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/3/31/Chichismom.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110719020028 on her husband's palm.]]''
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: One of the more extreme examples with his late, unnamed wife (see above).
* HumbleHero: In the anime, when he and Chi-Chi witness new global EvilOverlord King Piccolo's [[DoNotAdjustYourSet broadcast announcement]] that he'll annihilate a section of Earth a year and openly welcome any challengers to stop him, Chi-Chi questions her father whether he can beat up King Piccolo, and he replies honestly that he can't and that he doesn't think anyone in the world can, not even Goku.
* ImmuneToBullets: This is only shown in {{Filler}} episodes of the anime.
* KilledOffscreen: Happened during the Buu arc in the manga where the titular villain escaped the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and turned all the people outside (except Dende) into chocolate, eating them soon after. Averted in the anime, however, where they at least gave a ShadowDiscretionShot that showed almost all the cast being killed.
* LegacyCharacter: Subverted when he suggests that Chi-Chi's son also be named after himself before she named him Gohan.
* ManlyFacialHair: He sported an impressive red beard back during his days of conquest. By the time of the Wedding Dress filler arc (or the Saiyan arc if you go by the manga), it has become black and stays that way for the remainder of the series. It grows out a little in the Buu arc and begins to gray going into the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament.
* MasterApprenticeChain: He was a student of Master Roshi and he trained Chi-Chi: Mutaito > Master Roshi > Ox-King > Chi-Chi > Goten.
* NiceGuy: He may seem like a tough giant at first, but he's actually a kind person.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While he's normally cavalier, he shows once in the Garlic Jr. Saga that he is very much a student of Roshi when he ogles a sunbathing Maron alongside his old teacher. Chi-Chi was ''not'' amused.
* OneManArmy: He's capable of taking down an army of tanks on his own.
* OnlyOneName: He doesn't have a last name.
* PublicDomainCharacter: Ox-King is the only character other than Son Goku to retain the same name as his ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' counterpart.
* RealMenWearPink: Wore a pink shirt during the Buu arc.
* RetiredBadass: In ''Dragon Ball Z'', you don't see him fighting anymore. At his peak of power, he was regarded as a demon who could take out tanks and Goku couldn't even make him flinch when they first met.
* RichesToRags: From the God of Destruction Beerus Saga StoryArc onwards, he's forced to take on a FallenOnHardTimesJob due to his treasures (the source of his wealth) being burnt in the Fire Mountain.
* StoutStrength: Later in the series he gets fatter but even in ''Battle of Gods'' it is clear he has a lot of muscle underneath.
* TearsOfJoy: He sheds them during Chi-Chi and Goku's wedding ceremony at the end of the first anime, congratulating the two on their union and welcoming Goku into his family. In a humorous variation, he sheds a few back in the Red Ribbon Army filler when he's preparing a wedding for the two and remarks that his daughter is growing up so fast.
* WhatTheHellHero: While it's technically filler, he calls Chi-Chi out on getting upset with Goku for letting Gohan fight against Cell. Considering how Gohan surpassed Goku and Cell in strength, this was understandable. It still didn't stop her from getting mad herself at her dad since [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she was only upset that Gohan had become a delinquent]].

-->''"I can't go out like this... I'm the daughter of Mr. Satan!"''

Mr. Satan's daughter and Gohan's girlfriend who became his wife. She is introduced as a crimefighter who far surpasses her father in strength. When a teenage Gohan appears on the scene as the "Gold Fighter" and then Saiyaman, she grows suspicious and eventually manages to find out Gohan's secret. However, the more she gets to know him, the more she falls for him and the rest is history from there.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Broly – Second Coming'' has her joining Gohan, Goten, and Trunks as the main heroes saving the day. ''Wrath of the Dragon'' also focuses on her and Gohan in the beginning half.
* AdaptationalBadass: As far as ki goes, she only really learns how to fly in the series proper. In some of the fighting games, however, she can learn basic Ki Blasts, as well as, in the case of ''Xenoverse 2'', the game's general, all-purpose Super {{Kamehame|Hadoken}}ha.
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: She starts to fall for Gohan after she finds out he's the Great Saiyaman (and after he starts teaching her how to fly). Incidentally, he is the only boy on ''the planet'' that is a better martial artist than she is.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Although she has friends, she prefers to act alone while fighting crime and doesn't take the presence of Saiyanman kindly. She is also cold and distrusting of Gohan when he first went to school. Later, this is implied to be a coping mechanism for her personal insecurity being the daughter of a celebrity.
* AlwaysSecondBest: PlayedForLaughs with Goten during flying practice. While Videl is a fast learner, Goten completely outshines her, much to her frustration. Gohan had to tell Goten to tone it down so Videl would stop being jealous.
* AngerBornOfWorry: It's shown after she reunited with Gohan after Kid Buu is killed.
* BadassAdorable: [[LampshadeHanging Cheekily pointed out by Krillin to Gohan:]]
-->'''Krillin:''' Mr. Satan's daughter, eh? She's so cute, you'd never guess. So Gohan, when are the wedding bells gonna toll, boy?
-->'''Gohan:''' Oh come on, Uncle Krillin! It's not like that! [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend We're not even dating]]!
* BadassNormal: By ki-ignorant, normal human standards, she's one of the best fighters on Earth (still an ant by Z-fighter standards, but credit where credit is due).
* BattleCouple: With Gohan as Saiyawoman at the end of the Z series and in movies.
* {{Blackmail}}: She blackmails Gohan by threatening him to enter the tournament lest she reveals his secrets to his classmates. Thankfully, [[CharacterDevelopment she doesn't and even joins in on his superhero career]].
* BlueIsHeroic: She wears a teal suit as the Great Saiyawoman while fighting crime.
* BoyishShortHair: After she cuts it, due to Gohan's request.
* BrainyBrunette: She does well in school, and can instantly discover Gohan's identity as the golden-haired fighter with ease.
* {{Chickification}}: This is mostly DependingOnTheWriter (see the entry below)
** Played straight for the most part in ''GT'', where she is barely present beyond scenes establishing her as Gohan's wife and/or Pan's mother. However, one PlayedForLaughs moment where she tries dressing up as Great Saiyawoman again and joins Chi-Chi in going to take on Super 17, only to arrive at the battlefield too late, shows that she's still got it deep down.
** Also played straight in ''Super''. While it seems like she's completely mellowed since ''Z'', this is only because she's become comfortable expressing herself to her husband, friends, and family, and no longer has anything to prove to others, including being the best in martial arts. Yet when Barry Khan tries to implicate Gohan as cheating on her, she sees right through it and [[TranquilFury calmly]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tears him down]] [[SilkHidingSteel with words]]. Considering how easily she flew later in that same episode, she likely could've floored him then and there had she wished but chose the high road. Plus at the same time, anyone who's been a parent knows child-raising is a full-time responsibility; it's hard to balance martial-arts training with this (Just ask Goku!).
* CuteBruiser: Good-looking and capable of taking down most normal humans with little effort.
* CryIntoChest: After the fight with Kid Buu, she does this to Gohan during their reunion.
* DaddysGirl: Mr. Satan at least thinks so. On her part, it's quite subverted. Though in the tournament arc she is shown to have a lot of pride at being Satan's daughter, seeing him as a great fighter.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Mr. Satan didn't take too kindly to Videl being awfully close to Gohan (as Saiyaman). Subverted eventually, as it's shown Gohan eventually won him over, even to the point where Mr. Satan subsidized Gohan and Videl's marital home.
* ADayInTheLimelight: She has a huge role in the movie "Broly Second Coming."
* DeadpanSnarker: Not often, but she can have her moments. One of the biggest examples would be during ''Wrath of the Dragon'', where she's extremely suspicious and dismissive of Hoi in contrast to Gohan who's more willing to give him a chance.
* DefrostingIceQueen: More so in the anime, in which she is portrayed as more bitchy initially but, around the time of her haircut, starts to act nicer toward Gohan. After getting married to Gohan, Videl reserves this attitude only to people she is very uncomfortable with.
* DemotedToExtra: After ''Z''. Justified along the same lines as Krillin and Yamcha. She's a normal human and so she can't keep up with the superpowered aliens.
* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: She's introduced as an AudienceSurrogate at the start of the Buu saga, her budding romance with Gohan is given a lot of development, and she has a brutal fight with Spopovich that actually gets more attention than Goku and Vegeta's long-awaited rematch does later in the story. Then the Z-Fighters go to fight Babidi, and she has no further plot relevance beyond being Gohan's girlfriend (later wife).
* DependingOnTheWriter: When written by Toriyama (the manga, ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]''), she is tomboyish with a quick temper who is not afraid of expressing her feelings. When written by Toei animation (the anime filler episodes, ''GT'', ''Super'' etc) she is less angry and behaves more [[{{Chickification}} more like a proper lady]]. This is notable when one compares her characterization in the movie and anime adaptation of ''Batle of Gods''. In the movie version, she is embarrassed by the [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents drunken antics and ego of Mr. Satan]], to the point that she yells at him in public, while, in the anime adaptation, she behaves very sweetly and when she finds [[IdiotHero Goku]]'s comments offensive, she only mildly protests.
* {{Determinator}}: She won't stop fighting Spopovich until her very limits. It's a bit deconstructed, as because of her determination to beat him and prove herself a good fighter, she ends up getting brutalized and tortured, it gets to the point when she decides to call it quits, she's too slow to escape and gets beaten down even more.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: ''She throws a crystal at Broly!'' It was done to distract Broly from killing Gohan. Regardless, very admirable.
* DubNameChange: Her superhero identity of Great Saiyaman 2 became Great Saiyawoman in the English dub because the original name doesn't translate well. After all, she isn't a man.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: She is a highly skilled and strong martial artist who can take down people bigger and more muscular than she is. She then gets Ki training from Gohan and learns to fly.
* FairCop: She fits the position nicely, given her good looks and the fact that her job is actually being a crime fighter.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Her name is an anagram for "devil" and she's the daughter of Mr. Satan. Although 'Mr. Satan' is just his stage name, his real name Mark or Maaku in Japanese becomes an anagram for Akuma (Devil/demon). On the flipside of that, her late mother was named Miguel, Spanish for "Michael" (the name of [[ArchangelMichael one of the biblical archangels]]), and has a similar phonetic cadence as "Videl". One could say Videl's name is a fitting and clever blend of both parents' names. Also, while probably unintentional, her name is a near homonym with "victual" which goes along with the Son family's EdibleThemeNaming.
* FearlessFool: Sometimes. Videl charges into battle and picks fights with opponents she knows she can't defeat highlights include Broly and Hirudegarn. She drops this by ''Super''.
* GirlinessUpgrade: She became a lot less tomboyish in ''Battle of Gods'' and ''Super''. Although this could be attributed to her recent marriage and motherhood, by the epilogue of ''Z'' when Pan is a toddler, she's dressing less girly but not quite tomboyish either, lying more firmly in the middle.
* GirlishPigtails: She was introduced with her hair in pigtails, and they were her only feminine trait at the time. She cut them off at Gohan's recommendation (he said short hair would be more practical for martial arts).
* GirlyBruiser: Wears some fancy dresses and styles her hair yet can take down muggers on Earth quickly.
* GoodParents: She's a wonderful stay-at-home mother and adores her daughter Pan.
* HappilyMarried: To Gohan by the time of ''Super''. There's a lot of scenes about their happy domestic family life.
* HeroicLineage: She is the daughter of Mr. Satan, the [[FakeUltimateHero savior]] of Earth and the universe.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Although she's actually better than him, she told Gohan that Hercule would probably beat her in a sparring match. Justified because she genuinely didn't know she's a SuperiorSuccessor.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: Becomes this with Gohan after the events of the Buu Saga. They eventually marry and have a little girl together.
* {{Housewife}}: After Kid Buu's defeat and starting a family with Gohan, she's more focused on raising Pan than martial arts (but she still does them). She later sheds this in ''Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero'', starting up her own martial arts dojo, which can keep her busy outside of home.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The top of her head barely reaches Gohan's mid-back; her shoulders are level with his waist. Not only is Videl short, but Gohan is also ''tall''.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: This trope is the main reason she trains so hard because she wants to be as powerful as her father who supposedly defeated Cell and was already strong enough to be asked for help from the police. When she discovers Gohan's secret identity, she stalks him until he teaches her how to fly (with Goten who by the way hilariously surpassed her) and uses her chi like the z warriors. After this, she became the third most powerful Earthling woman in the series (after 18 and Chi-Chi). Discovering Gohan and his friends actually far surpass her father has Videl later drop this.
* ImportantHaircut: We first see that she's warming up to Gohan when he tells her that short hair suits a warrior better and she thinks he likes short-haired girls. The next day she shows up with her GirlishPigtails cut off.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: How she confirmed her suspicions about the Great Saiyaman's true identity in the manga.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Gohan who is a half-Saiyan. They eventually get married.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: During her "[[CurbStompBattle fight]]" with Spopovich. Videl realizes she's ''way'' out of her league and allows herself to be thrown out of the ring; however, Spopovich grabs her in mid-air and tosses her right back in so [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown he can continue beating her senseless]].
* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: She's the only character to be significantly redesigned in ''Battle of Gods'', while even Goten and Trunks still have their kid designs despite being several years older, you'd think she's unusually important [[spoiler:and she's the final piece to unlocking Goku's Super Sayian God form]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She used to be an arrogant jerk toward Gohan when she first met him. But, after getting to know him better, she turns out to be much nicer than before.
* JerkassToOne: Normally, Videl is a very morally good person and is all for saving civilians. She's extremely dismissive of Hoi in ''Wrath of the Dragon'', even telling him to jump off the building he's on when she and Gohan are supposed to be saving him. That said, [[JerkassHasAPoint she has every right to be critical of him.]]
* KilledOffscreen: Played straight in the manga when Super Buu turns the majority of the Z-Fighters into candy and all we see is Goku's horrified reaction in the Realm of the Kais. Averted in the anime however when we see a terrifying ShadowDiscretionShot of her and the others (except Krillin's family) being changed and devoured.
* LegFocus: In certain scenes, the camera tends to focus on her legs. Though this is normally seen when she has spandex, a skirt, or actual shorts on.
* LetMeAtHim: She tries to save Gohan from Spopovich and Yamu, but Goku has to hold her back. This solidifies her badass status, as she had, only a few minutes earlier, getting the ''[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown hell]]'' beat out of her by Spopovich, yet she still wants to help. Better yet, unlike a Saiyan, she doesn't get stronger after healing from fatal attacks.
* LittleMissBadass: She's got low ki control and no superpowers, but is ''very'' physically strong and tough for a normal human. Probably would've made it to the World Martial Arts Tournament semi-finals, if she'd been born 20 years earlier.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Initially in the Majin Buu arc, most noticeably at the tournament where Gohan goes out of his way to try and stop her from finding out about the Saiyans and other aliens. Completely averts this after the Buu arc and joining the Z fighters.
* MadeOfIron: She was able to take a beating from Spopovich, which could have killed any regular human being.
* MirrorCharacter: Definitely with Chi-Chi, which is why they quickly get along. Both have dark hair and pale skin. Both lost their mothers at an early age and were raised by their fathers. Both women are the sheltered beautiful daughters of heavily-built rich men with heavy facial hair. Both have initially overprotective fathers who ease off later. Both are somewhat socially insecure in their youth. Both Chi-Chi and Videl are headstrong tomboy martial artists who happen to marry a Saiyan. Both women retire from martial arts after marriage. Both even mellow out similarly after some tension with their future husbands when first interacting with them.
* MissingMom: She once angrily remarks that "ever since Mom died, Dad uses his fame and championship to sleep around with different women every day!" (Though some media [[NeverSayDie changes the "died" for "left."]])
* MsFanservice: Heavily {{Averted}} in the manga and anime. LegFocus and the one scene with Roshi poking her breasts aside, Videl is probably the least fanservice-y female of the entire female cast next to Android 18 [[note]]who had at least two instances in the anime[[/note]]. PlayedStraight in some of her video game appearances (especially the ''Xenoverse'' series) where Videl can wear bikinis as a custom outfit [[note]]it's also the only way to unlock the customizable bikini for the female custom characters, as Android 18 (who can also be made to wear a bikini which is what the players will give to her once her mentor friendship is maxed out) will gift players from her set of clothes and oddly enough, one of them is Bulma's iconic camouflage bikini[[/note]] and this gets taken further to it's logical conclusion with the ''Dragonball Gal'' figurine collection via heavy FanservicePack.
* NiceGirl: Eventually mellows out into this. But only if you don't annoy her.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Is on the receiving end of an absolutely ''savage'' one at the hands of Spopovich once he stops holding back; Spopovich goes so far as to stomp on her head until she's literally ''crying'' from the pain. It's only because of Yamu [[EvenEvilHasStandards ordering Spopovich to stop and ring her out]] that Videl got out alive.
* PerkyGoth: During ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' (and the corresponding saga in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'') she's become more fashion-conscious, trading in her plain shirts and gym shorts for a red dress with a black devil's face on it and her hair is more stylized. She really stands out compared to her nerdy husband and the other more conventional-looking women. By the epilogue of ''Z'', however, she's taken on a more mature style, although maintaining the red color.
* PerpetualFrowner: She's this until she mellows out. In short, when she has the pigtails she's usually frowning, but when she cuts her hair short she's a lot more prone to smiling.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite her size, she only comes up to Gohan's chest, she can apparently lift more weights than Sharpner with ease.
* PregnantBadass: A downplayed example in ''Dragon Ball Super''. Although she doesn't do any fighting, she does talk down an angry [[TheDreaded god of destruction]], then becomes the first and only known full-blooded human to turn Super Saiyan by channeling her unborn daughter's power.
* SecretKeeper: Of the blackmailing kind initially after she learns that Gohan was the Great Saiyaman. She then later finds out that Gohan is the gold fighter and the person who actually killed Cell seven years ago. By the end of the Buu Saga, she becomes an official member of the group along with her father.
* SilkHidingSteel:
** She may have become a sweet and gentle housewife six years after the defeat of Majin Buu, but Videl's strength of ''character'' has if anything become even ''more'' formidable. This is best exemplified by her reaction to Barry trying to blackmail her into sleeping with him with photos of Gohan being on the receiving end of a chaste and innocent kiss. Whereas Videl the Tomboy would have smashed Barry's teeth out (and she no doubt ''still'' could) for this insult, Videl the ''Mother'' told Barry with firm-dignity ''without'' even raising her voice that she believes in her husband, and ''calmly'' asks him to leave her house, ''soundly'' defeating the creep without so much as a clenched fist. TruthInTelevision - an overwhelming majority of martial artists would rather defuse a confrontation with words rather than violence.
** Creator/YukoMinaguchi brought a wonderfully convincing performance of the "kind but strong mother" that she has spent the last two decades ''perfecting'' with roles like the equally-adorable mom Akiko Minase of ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'' to this scene. She gives a little speech about this when talking to Chi-Chi about Pan's future, saying that [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak while she always liked girly things, she's also always loved Martial Arts too]] and considers both to be important parts of her life, and she would be fine with Pan growing up to be a fighter too.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Part of the reason Videl fell in love with Gohan is that, unlike her father, he was much more humble when it came to how strong he was.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: With a single deal with Gohan, Videl single-handedly kicks off the chain of events that lead to the Buu Saga: Gohan wasn't interested in participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament until Videl prodded him into it after learning that he was the son of Goku, the legendary (within the martial arts community) fighter who was the champion before her father. This would lead to the Z-Fighters reuniting at the Tournament (including Goku himself, despite being dead) and meeting Babidi's minions Yamu and Spopovich, and the Supreme Kai.
* SnarkKnight: Videl as the Great Saiyaman 2, especially in contrast to Gohan's [[TheCape genuine but over-the-top enthusiasm.]] Her total indifference and constant snark when dealing with Hoi's WoundedGazelleGambit makes the scene increasingly hilarious, with her mocking him when he's pretending he'll jump from a skyscraper, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent flying while in annoyed poses]] and "attempting" to fix the music box (read: glancing at it for two seconds) before simply tossing it away like garbage.
* SpoiledSweet: She comes from a rich family, but she's still a good girl.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Even before she trains with Gohan she was stronger than her dad. Mr. Satan seems to suspect this, which is why he refuses to train with her.
* TeensAreShort: She is listed as 1.57 meters (5'2), just a little taller than Krillin.
* ThemeNaming: Videl is an anagram for "devil" keeping with the theme that her father is Mr. Satan.
* {{Tomboy}}: Loves martial arts. She even cut her hair to make herself a more effective fighter per Gohan's advice. Though initially, she thought Gohan liked girls with short hair better, even [[CrushBlush blushes]] at his suggestion.
* TomboynessUpgrade: Videl is a {{Tsundere}} girl who has [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak a streak for martial arts]] who feels something for her classmate Son Gohan. When they became a couple, she replaced the GirlishPigtails and the skirt for a BoyishShortHair and pants, also becoming more serious with martial arts and even learning the ki attacks of the other Z-Warriors. Averted when Videl became a mother in ''[[Anime/DragonBallGT GT]]'' and ''[[Anime/DragonBallSuper Super]]'', where she got the GirlinessUpgrade with the long hair and more feminine clothes.
%%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to her friend Erasa's Girly Girl.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: While she wears pants under her skirt when fighting, she seems quite comfortable in mini skirts and dresses, especially after starting to date Gohan. She sums it up well in one episode of ''Super'', saying she enjoys feminine things ''and'' Martial Arts and sees no problems with this.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the Battle of Gods saga of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', while she doesn't really fight, she gets the distinction of being the first pure-blooded human to [[spoiler:go Super Saiyan (thanks to being pregnant with the [=1/4=] Saiyan Pan), even if it was temporary]]. Also, in ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'', her Ki knowledge has gotten to a point where she can shoot standard Ki blasts.
* TookALevelInKindness: At least towards Gohan who she stalked and bullied before falling in love with him.
* TheToothHurts: In the manga, she clearly has some teeth broken after getting kneed in the face by Spopovich during his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. It's healed up thanks to the Senzu beans.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Despite being a crime fighter she's usually cold to others, but usually warmer to Gohan. Especially after he starts training her in flight. Switches fully into type B by the time of ''Super''.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Barry tries to blackmail Gohan by showing a photo of Cocoa kissing him into perceiving Gohan as if he cheats on Videl, she refused to believe it is true and knows that Gohan isn't the type of person to do this.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: She is Mr. Satan's daughter and she is quite the looker. Even Krillin lampshades this trope.
* UptownGirl: For Gohan, who grew up in the mountains and is socially awkward at times while she comes from a rich family.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: The Serious Child to Hercule's Wacky Parent. While her father usually acts silly, she is usually laid-back most of the time.
* WeakButSkilled: Back in the original ''Dragon Ball'', flying was considered a very advanced technique. Goku didn't learn it until the very end of the series. Videl learns it in ''ten days after she first learns that ki even '''exists.''''' Case in point, she managed to defeat Spopovich initially (though she went too far and would have killed him had he not been magically enhanced) and only lost because she was unprepared for someone to be that severely augmented with ki.
* WhenSheSmiles: More noticeable in the Great Saiyaman and World Tournament sagas. She gives off a very cold demeanor throughout a lot of her interactions with people, but when she starts her training with Gohan, we see her start to lighten up and blush, showcasing a surprising warmth and vulnerability. The focus the animation gives to her bright, wide-eyed, blue eyes probably helps as well.
* YouJustToldMe: Manga-only, where Videl figures out Gohan is Saiyaman in about ''three seconds''. The anime took a bit longer, and only because an identical cut from Saiyaman was on Gohan.

The daughter of Gohan and Videl, introduced at the tail end of the original series though given more of a fleshed-out character in the anime-only ''GT'' series. Very much a tomboy and thrill-seeker, willing to prove she's just as tough as her grandfather when given the chance. But not without a soft side either.
----
* ActionGirl: At the tender age of three as seen in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, she is already a CuteBruiser who can easily overpower the average human being, and she even managed to hold [[MadScientist Dr.]] [[{{Cyborg}} Gero]] hostage in ''GT''.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: As bratty as her ''GT'' counterpart was, the [[VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse Xenoverse]] [[VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse2 games]] portray this version of her largely as a friendly, enthusiastic, and patient mentor to the player.
* AesopAmnesia: No matter how many times in ''GT'' Pan nearly dies or gets captured as a result of her jumping into things without thinking, she'll be sure to do it again a few episodes later regardless of what anyone says.
* AgeInappropriateDress: In ''GT'', she wears a midriff despite being only ''ten'', gets played for ''{{Fanservice}}'' in the Baby Saga when an alien deer attempts to put it's head right into Pan's shirt, very nearly exposing her ''breasts'' simply by trying to get more affection from her.
* AffirmativeActionGirl: While ''Dragon Ball'' always had a few female characters scattered throughout the supporting cast, the anime-only ''Dragon Ball GT'' was the only time a girl regularly joined in on the world-saving. [[FauxActionGirl However,]] she was written as a DamselInDistress quite often in order to be saved by Goku. This was a directorial decision, as the director wanted Pan to have a good memory of her grandpa in the [[Anime/DragonBallGTAHerosLegacy late future.]]
* TheApprentice: Goku personally trains her to be his successor.
* TheArtifact: Pan's bandanna in ''GT'' is supposed to be a ContinuityNod to the Great Saiyaman's bandanna, as it's the same orange color. This doesn't work since the anime version of the Majin Buu saga ([[AudienceColoringAdaptation and most adaptations]]) makes the bandanna white, losing the reference. Thought due to the orange color, it might have belonged to Android 17 [[note]]whose original outfit also had a similar looking bandanna which was worn on his neck[[/note]], who gave it to her as a gift.
* BadassAdorable: Like everyone else in the Son bloodline, she's a cute little kid who can crush bones. Doubly so as an adorable baby in ''Super'' since she can ''fly'' and control ki.
* BerserkButton: Never make fun of her eyebrows.
* BoisterousWeakling: In ''GT'', she's admittedly strong for her age, but pales in comparison to her allies and foes alike which results in her getting swatted like a fly more often than not.
* BoyishShortHair: No surprise since she is a Tomboy. As a child, she has a short hairstyle that resembles that of her mother, as a teen, her hair is slightly longer but still boyish.
* BrattyHalfPint: In ''GT'', she is a brat who constantly belittles her grandfather, pushes around Trunks, and bullies Giru.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Despite being a bit younger than a teenager, she plays this trope regularly in ''GT'' where she is a whiny brat instead of a CheerfulChild like at the end of ''Z''
* CallForward: Pan learning to fly as only a baby in ''Super''. Her introduction at the end of ''Z'' had her come flying in after taking several laps around the planet at only four or five years old.
* CheerfulChild: In ''Z'' and also as a baby in ''Super''. She inherited her family's positive attitude.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Videl being pregnant with her was all Goku needed to complete the Super Saiyan God transformation.]]
* ChildProdigy:
** Despite being only nine, she is already very powerful, and the ''[[AllThereInTheManual Dragon Ball GT Perfect Files]]'' state she has the potential to transform and imply she might become a type of Super Saiyan never seen before. Though this remains largely an InformedAttribute, as she never scores a victory without someone else contributing
** This is taken further in ''Super'' when she's shown ''as an infant'' to have learned how to fly all on her own, far younger than any other character seen so far. Remember that even her uncle Goten who could turn Super Saiyan at 7 couldn't fly until he was instructed on how.
* CuteBruiser: Just because she is a cute little girl doesn't mean she won't kick your ass. Best shown in [[Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero Super Hero]] where she easily takes down a guy ten times her size despite being only 3 and a half years old.
* TheCutie: As a four-year-old (and a baby), she was seen as cute and bubbly, and full of energy. This rarely appears in ''GT'' though.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: In the English dub of ''Super'', when explaining her TrademarkFavoriteFood, Piccolo suggests she doesn't like celery.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: In ''GT'', she finds herself constantly being belittled by her family and friends, which leads to her wanting to prove herself at multiple points in the series.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Pan is a triple-themed name: the food puns for Gohan's side of the family, the devil/Satan theme from Videl's family[[note]]Especially as Pan's horns and goat legs were the inspiration of classical depictions of the devil[[/note]], and the musical theme from Piccolo who has been extremely close to Gohan and often babysits Pan. There's also, arguably, a fourth that references the Briefs family (as Bulma has been like a CoolBigSis to Goku since childhood) since her name is also the first three letters in panty.
* {{Fanservice}}: The infamous scene with the alien deer in the Baby Saga which nearly got Pan's ''breasts'' exposed on-screen due to it wanting more affection from her and got a bit too close for comfort by sticking it's head right under her top, forcing Pan to quickly pull her shirt down.
* FauxActionGirl: Despite being the main character alongside Goku in ''GT'', Pan is largely delegated to the DamselInDistress role, oftentimes making the situation worse because of her inability to properly protect herself. The amount of victories she has against adversaries is enough to count on one hand and still have fingers left over, and the amount of victories she has without the help of anyone else brings that number to ''one''.
* GenkiGirl: She is really full of energy.
* GooGooGodlike: Baby Pan has not only learned to fly on her own, but her just powering up destroys Pilaf's battle machine. She's also strong enough to carry Pilaf's gang back to Earth after they shot themselves into the stratosphere.
* HairTriggerTemper: She gets angry very easily for trivial reasons as a kid. In ''GT'', she gets worse, yelling at nearly everybody for things that aren't their fault.
* HeirToTheDojo: Of Satan-style. She winds up running the dojo as a teenager.
* HeroicLineage: She comes from ''two'' heroic lineages. Her grandfather, Goku, is a warrior who saved the Earth countless times and her father saved the world from Cell and was critical to everyone's survival during the Saiyan Invasion and Namek. Her other grandfather, Mr. Satan, is a BadassNormal who in a world of {{Super Weight}}s is relegated to FakeUltimateHero; he is seen as the world's savior but really did help save the world from Cell, though he played a small but key role in the last stand against Buu ([[CombinedEnergyAttack yes, really!]]). Her mother is a BadassNormal who used to help the police fight crime on a regular basis without any Ki or superpowers.
%%* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl to Trunks's Huge Guy in ''GT''.
* InformedAttribute: It's claimed in extra materials she could transform, but there's nothing in the series that even ''hints'' this as being possible, especially with her [[FauxActionGirl poor performance.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pan in ''GT'' is moody, disrespectful, selfish, and bratty- a far cry from when she was younger. But she can be rather nice, she is firmly on the side of good, and she wants to do her best to help her friends and family.
* KamehameHadoken: Unsurprisingly good at it, considering her father, grandfather and uncle are.
%%* {{Kawaiiko}}: Only ''something'' of a tomboy.
* KidAppealCharacter: Pan is a Type 3. Even if she'd get destroyed in the main fight, she still tends to try, and if she's not doing that, there's a good chance she's doing something else on her own, which tends to help out ([[spoiler:pursuing Giru, finding and saving the kid who was possessed by Baby, and calming Goku down while he was a Golden Great Ape are all good examples]]).
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: In the manga and ''Z'', where she was introduced at the very end of the series. {{Averted|Trope}} in ''GT'', where she is one of the main characters. {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''Super'', where Videl announced her pregnancy in the first arc.
* LittleMissBadass: Four years old in ''Z'', around nine years old in ''GT'', but badass and adorable all the way.
* LittleMissSnarker: In the ''GT'' series, she's a snarky and often disrespectful preteen.
* MouthyKid: In ''GT'', she is rather mouthy and verbally violent (and physically too, just like her grandmother.)
* MasterApprenticeChain: She is Goku's second student, giving her a complex chain since Goku had many masters, one which includes ''Whis'':
** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr > Son Goku > Pan
** Master Korin > Master Roshi > Son Goku > Pan
** Master, Korin, Kami, King Kai, and Whis > Son Goku > Pan
* MythologyGag: Her love of stars and desire to fly into space in ''Super'', as well as Goku's promise to take her there, are probably nods to ''GT''.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Her potential boyfriend runs away when he sees her abilities as she fights some random criminals.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Old Pan in the DistantFinale of ''GT'' does show her age, but she looks about 80, not her real age of over 110. [[JustifiedTrope Perhaps at least partially explained by her Saiyan ancestry]], as Saiyans age at more or less half the speed of humans.
* OutdatedOutfit: Her clothes in ''GT'' are extremely [[TheNineties 90s]], and highly inappropriate due to its heavy {{Fanservice}} style.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: She already possesses tremendous strength and the ability to fly by the time she was four years old. In fact, she's shown to be quite powerful as a baby as well.
* {{Shorttank}}: Combination of Tomboy and Action Girl.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To Hercule. She is ''much'' stronger than her father or Goten as children. Even in ''GT'' where she never went Super Saiyan, she takes out the Red Ribbon Army with ease and helps kill one of the Shadow Dragons. On top of that, if Hercule is successful in making her his successor as World Champion, she'll succeed him by leagues. Unfortunately, she falls flat when it comes to Gohan/Goku's lineage.
* ThemeNaming: Pan is Akira Toriyama's [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome crowning achievement]] in theme names:
** The obvious facet is that "pan" is a Portuguese and Spanish loan word for "bread", punning off her dad's name, which means rice (and if you want, you can stretch the pun: Chi-Chi can mean "milk" or "breast milk.").
** Pan is also a satyr in Greek mythology whose imagery was borrowed for the Christian devil. Her mother's name is an anagram of "devil", and her maternal grandfather is Mr. Satan! If you want to stretch that even further, it's a retroactive, indirect reference to Hercule's late wife Miguel. Miguel is a Spanish version of the name Michael, the name of an Archangel (and Lucifer was an Archangel before he was Satan).
** Pan could also be a reference to the Pan Pipes in honor of Piccolo, who, being the reincarnation of a Daimaō, would fit the devil theme above as well.[[note]]Especially after receiving a Satan-based name in the French dub based on that very fact.[[/note]]
** Her name might also be a reference to her Saiyan heritage, as the genus of the Chimpanzee species is called ''Pan''.
** Pan may also be an abbreviation of panties or pants, in honor of the clothing-based names of Bulma's family.
** Here's the kicker: In Greek, "pan" is a prefix meaning "all". So Pan is, in fact, most likely named after all of these characters—making her a living and breathing ode to her parents' family and friends.
* TokenMiniMoe: In ''GT''. A little girl who is likely stronger than every human on Earth. Unfortunately for her, [[OvershadowedByAwesome this still makes her weak]] in comparison to Trunks and especially Goku.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Bulla and Marron's girly girl.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: There's her love of martial arts and boyish way of dressing, but when a certain ''GT'' arc involved another planet's marriage rituals, she said she admired the dress. She also enjoys sweets and takes offense over her bad cooking.
* TookALevelInKindness: Her aged appearance in the last episode of ''GT'' comes with the addition of Pan being kinder, happier, and much more respectful towards other people.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to "Piccoyo" (Piccolo), Baby Pan's favorite food is vegetable pancakes with tuna and soy pulp (with the specific vegetables in the pancakes being carrots, onions, spinach, and broccoli).
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A, as her grandmother and mother, in ''GT''. If the simplest of negative things happens to Pan, she can exaggerate its importance and set off her fiery temper, but despite these tantrums, she does truly care for her family in her more sincere moments and will assist them in any way she can.
* UnevenHybrid: Pan is a quarter Saiyan through her grandfather Goku and three-quarter human. Oddly enough, she's considered a Saiyan despite having more human blood. She also developed faster than the half-Saiyans since she's barely a year old and can fly.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Very downplayed. But she looks and acts like a young teen, but she's not even 13 by the time ''GT'' starts.

[[folder:Son Goku Jr.]]
!!'''Son Goku Jr. (孫悟空ジュニア, ''Son Gokuu Junia'')'''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goku_junior.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/MasakoNozawa\\
'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/StephanieNadolny (Creator/FUNimation dub); Zoe Slusar (Blue Water dub); Jodi Forrest (AB Groupe/"Big Green" dub)\\
'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/LauraTorres (''GT''), Irma Carmona (TV Special)

The protagonist of the ''Anime/DragonBallGTAHerosLegacy'' TV special. He is a descendant of Goku. While he has Goku's looks and appetite, his personality is more like that of an ordinary child although that may be due to the fact that--unlike his ancestor--he wasn't RaisedByWolves. Goku lives with his great-great-grandmother Pan and endures endless TrainingFromHell from her as she tries to mold him into Earth's next great hero.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Before he discovered the Super Saiyan transformation, he would often be rescued from dangerous situations by sheer luck or thanks to someone else's assistance.
* BringMyBrownPants: Often goes into panic mode when in dangerous situations.
* CanonForeigner: So far he's only appeared in a ''GT'' TV special, and not in the manga.
* DisappearedDad: Goku Jr.'s father is never really mentioned at all.
* HereditaryHairstyle: This seems to be a common trait in the family.
* IdenticalGrandson: Great-great-great-great-grandson, technically.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: A family trait.
* KidHero: Becomes the main hero of the ''GT'' TV special despite being only a kid.
* LegacyCharacter: Named after his famous ancestor, the original Goku.
* LovableCoward: A trait he shared with the second Gohan.
* MissingMom: Much like the above-mentioned father, not referenced at all.
* {{Mooning}}: Does this after escaping the bad guys in [[Anime/DragonBallGTAHerosLegacy A Hero's Legacy]]
* RaisedByGrandparents: Pan raised and trained him herself for currently unknown reasons.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Much like Goten, he is a dead ringer for Goku when he was a kid.
* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes much tougher by the end of the special, and even tougher by the time he shows up in the final episode of the main series.

'''Bulma's Mom voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Ángela Villanueva ('''Current Voice''') , Magda Giner (''DB''), Maru Guzmán (''DB'' epi. 44)

Dr. Brief is the founder of Capsule Corp and the father of Bulma. Bulma's Mom, Panchy, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin is the mother of Bulma]] and the wife of Dr. Brief.
----
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Bulma's Mom, she looks the same through her daughter's teenage years and her grandson's childhood. If we assume that she was at least 18 when she had Tights, then that means that she could be no younger than 71 as of the Buu Saga.
* AccentAdaptation: Dr. Brief is given a thick British accent in the Ocean and Funimation dubs of the series, though it was done away with from ''Kai'' onwards. His wife by contrast was given a Brooklyn accent for Funimation's dub.
* AllMenArePerverts[=/=]AllWomenAreLustful: They are both depicted as swingers and both are equally lustful, with her mother telling her to bring any handsome boys she meets home with her when she comes to visit and appearing to [[{{Squick}} hit on a very young Goku]] and chiding her daughter not to be a "prude" when she objects.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While most non-Saiyan characters visibly age, Bulma's mom doesn't. This, among other things, has led to theories that she's actually a RidiculouslyHumanRobot.
* AscendedExtra: In an interesting contrast to most who are introduced pre-''Z'', they actually get more prominence in the ''Z'' era, or at least Dr. Brief does. He is the one to rebuild Goku's old saiyan pod so the latter can get to Namek quickly and later repair Android #16 to help fight in the Cell Games. Back in the original anime, Brief and his wife only appeared canonically in the Red Ribbon Army arc as stop-gap comedic relief (they make a return in the King Piccolo filler when the titular villain vows to destroy West City as part of celebrating Piccolo Day).
* BigApplesauce: Bulma's mom has a Brooklyn accent in the English dub.
* BrainlessBeauty: Bulma's mom, which is hilarious when you consider how intelligent her equally beautiful daughter is.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Dr. Brief. Bulma clearly gets her brains from him and his intellect has made him the smartest and richest man on the planet through his being the founder and chairman of Capsule Corp. He is also an unquestionable DitzyGenius.
* ButtMonkey: Dr. Brief becomes one particularly in the anime version of Freeza Saga, usually on the wrong side of Chi-Chi's yelling for him not getting the ship done fast enough.
* CaptainOblivious: Bulma's mom tends to state the obvious.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They're nowhere to be found in ''Dragon Ball GT'' and it is mentioned that in the second episode Trunks has succeeded his grandfather as the president of Capsule Corporation. Whether this means that they retired or passed away is unknown. Even in the ''Z'' episode "He's Always Late", which features almost the entire cast at a party within the Capsule Corp., neither Dr. Brief nor his wife is seen attending. Their last appearance in the anime and manga before Majin Buu wiped out all humanity was when Trunks went to West City to obtain the Dragon Radar.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Bulma's mother never seems to age and frequently seems completely divorced from reality. Dr. Brief himself tends to blurt out awkward remarks, particularly in his debut, though he is quite a bit saner.
* DirtyOldMan: Dr. Brief, revealed that he hides a collection of dirty magazines.
* DitzyGenius: Dr. Brief was able to reverse engineer the engines to advanced spaceships to create an actual spaceship in a month and considered it unready because he hadn't figured out where to put a coffee maker. In ''Battle of Gods'' he had no idea he was the richest man on the planet until Chi-Chi pointed it out and was perfectly willing to get Mr. Satan a drink when he was mistaken for a waiter, even after Satan apologized.
* DotingParent: They are very fond of their daughter Bulma and their grandson Trunks and Future Trunks.
* DumbBlonde: Bulma's mom has blonde hair and has been shown to be ditzy. Along with her husband, she is almost entirely oblivious to a serious situation.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Bulma's mom. She only opens them once in ''Z'', and her eyes turn out to be blue... however, this has been increasingly downplayed in ''Super'', as she's been shown with her eyes open a bunch.
* FamilyThemeNaming: The Briefs family (Bulma/Bloomer, Dr. Briefs, Panchy/Panty/Bikini, Trunks, Bulla/Bra, Tights) are named after undergarments.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: They take in a large number of strays including dinosaurs and freaking kaiju!
* GadgeteerGenius: Dr. Brief built the technological empire known as Capsule Corp. He also helps Bulma repair Android 16 and [[spoiler:Cell's Time Machine in ''Super'']].
* HappilyMarried: They are in a good marriage.
* HonorBeforeReason: Whenever the Earth is threatened, they refuse to retreat to Kami's Lookout, saying it wouldn't feel right to leave their home and pets behind.
* {{Housewife}}: Bulma's mom, who is often seen baking cookies and cakes.
* InnocentBlueEyes: In the rare moments that Bulma's mom opens her eyes, they're revealed to be blue. Her eyes are always opened in ''Super''.
* KilledOffscreen: They refused to accompany the rest of the Z-Fighters to Kami's Lookout when Majin Buu was unsealed, [[SkewedPriorities wanting to keep their pets company.]] Later when Buu transforms, he utilizes an attack that wipes out virtually the entire population of Earth, including the Brief Family by that logic.
* KindheartedCatLover: Dr. Brief is often seen with a small black cat either on his shoulder or in his hands. The cat is nameless in the manga, but the anime gives it the name '''Tama''' (or '''Scratch''' in the English dubs).
* KindheartedSimpleton: Despite Bulma's Mom being ditsy, she is very polite.
* LikeParentLikeChild: Dr. Brief. His daughter, Bulma, inherited his love for inventing things and being a genius.
* MrFixit: Dr. Brief, who helps Bulma repair Android 16 and [[spoiler:Cell's Time Machine]].
* MrsRobinson: Bulma's mother has flirted with Yamcha, Goku, and Vegeta, who brush her off. This even provoked Bulma's jealousy at one point!
* NiceGuy: Both of them are quite friendly.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bulma's Mom, from Creator/MarilynMonroe. Also overlaps with CastingGag, as her Japanese voice actress (Mariko Mukai) was her defacto voice actress for Monroe in almost all the Japanese dubs of her films. Dr. Brief resembles UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite the passage of several decades in-universe, Bulma's mom is never shown aging. [[spoiler:Even in ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'', a prequel set roughly a decade before ''Dragon Ball'' begins, she still looks the same.]]
* OnlyOneName: He's just "Dr. Brief". He does not pass this name on to his descendants, and his wife's name is likewise not "Mrs. Brief".
* OppositesAttract: He is old and intelligent while she is a young DumbBlonde.
* ParentalFavoritism: [[spoiler:Dr. Brief loves Bulma dearly, and his idea of spending quality time together involves working together in his lab, which suits Bulma just fine. His older daughter, Tights, on the other hand...well, he can't be bothered to remember the fact that she had already graduated from college two years after the fact.]]
* PerpetualSmiler: Bulma's mom. Even when she was angry one time, she ''still had a smile on her face!''
* {{Polyamory}}: Implied in several comedic moments with them, while they seem HappilyMarried, the manga has them both ask Bulma and Goku to bring them back mates while they're out searching for Dragon Balls, much to their daughter's annoyance. Dr. Brief also keeps a large number of nudie magazines but besides Bulma's anger and her dad's OhCrap realization that she took the collection and not her own capsules, it's seemingly not made a huge deal of (Bulma was even half expecting it to be something crude). Bulma's mom in the Frieza arc paws at Goku when he comes to see Dr. Brief's work on his ship...this despite seemingly knowing that he's already in a committed relationship with Chi-Chi and with a five-year-old son to boot. She even passively flirts with Vegeta during his initial stay at the Capsule Corp. despite him still being mostly an evil wannabe conquerer at the time. That last one gets a bit icky considering he'd formally become her son-in-law after the Cell arc.
* PornStash: Dr. Brief has them stored in his own personal capsule, as Bulma discovers by accident, much to her disgust and [[ChildrenAreInnocent Goku]]'s bewilderment.
* RichGenius: Dr. Brief and his daughter are both genius inventors who created the capsules, those tiny things that are able to store anything of ANY size. They also own a yacht, are able to host big parties, and have their own professional chefs.
* SilverVixen: Bulma's mom ''still'' looks great even after her grandson Trunks is born.
* TheTease: Bulma's mom is rather flirty, even with men half her age.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: In photos of Dr. Brief and Bulma's mom, Bulma's mom is shown to be taller, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/4/46/DrBriefsMrsBriefsMajinBuuSagaNV.png/revision/latest?cb=20100510140933 as shown here.]]
* UglyGuyHotWife: Dr. Brief is old and wrinkly while Bulma's mom is ridiculously cute.
* UnnamedParent: Bulma's mom is only called Bulma's mom. (Creator/AkiraToriyama said it would have been "Panchy" (from "panty") if he had bothered to give her a name, while ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'' calls her "Bikini".)

[[caption-width-right:280:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as an adult]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taitsu.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/HiromiTsuru (Anime)
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/AnastasiaMunoz
->'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/MonicaManjarrez

A girl that Jaco and Omori encounter in East City, fascinated with aliens and outer space. Is also a stunt double for An Azuki's rocket launch as well as the eldest daughter of Dr. Brief.
----
* {{Expy}}: Is similar in a number of ways to Bulma from ''Manga/DragonBall''. And for good reason too, as she's Bulma's older sister.
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Became a successful science fiction novelist in the epilogue, however [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs her book based on Jaco]], ''Space Police Chako'', [[SelfDeprecation was a flop]].
* MsFanservice: Downplayed for the most part (especially compared to her younger sister Bulma's moments), but the Dragon Ball Minus bonus chapter of ''Jaco'' features Tights taking a dip in the ocean, complete with a WalkingSwimsuitScene.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted. [[spoiler:When Jaco pushes her on her face, she pushes him from the cliff, following that he misses to notice the alien threat landing on Earth. On the other hand, the said alien "threat" was Son Goku, so Tights actually saved Goku's life.]]
* OnlyOneName: The only character introduced to have only one name. [[spoiler:Considering that the vast majority of the ''Dragon Ball'' cast have only one name, including her family, she follows this trend.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: When she first appears in ''Super'', she looks to be in her 30's. She's actually ''58''.
* PunnyName: It foreshadows her relatives.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Tights being Bulma's previously unmentioned older sister is handwaved by her being extremely independent, and thus unlikely to be around Capsule Corp and by her parents being extremely absentminded and unlikely to remember she exists. This gets a giant lampshade in ''Dragon Ball Super'' when Bulma casually says she's going to call her sister, and both Goku (who's known her for decades) and Vegeta (Bulma's husband) react with "You have a sister?!"
** Note that she is also 11 years older than Bulma is, and thus would have been 27 and trying to start her career during the events of the first few arcs of ''Dragon Ball''.
** Amusingly, with Tights both Vegeta and Bulma have something in common: a long lost relative, with Tarble.
* StuntDouble: InUniverse. To An Azuki for the rocket launch, the implication being that Tights is being considered completely expendable on a program with a terrible record.
* TeenGenius: Graduated from the university at the age of 16. Evidently, it runs in the family.
* WalkingSpoiler: Again, her presence in ''Dragon Ball'' titled works end up spoiling her debut manga.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: As mentioned above, the majority of the Dragon Ball Minus bonus chapter of ''Jaco'' features Tights walking around in her swimsuit following her dip in the ocean.

'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Gaby Ugarte (''Z''), [[Creator/IsabelMartinon Isabel Martiñón]] (''GT'' and ''Kai: The Final Chapters'')

Vegeta's and Bulma's second child. Most of her characterization is from ''GT''.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: She's never shown fighting in ''GT'', where most of her screen time is. In ''VideoGame/DragonBallFusions'', she can kick ass with the rest of them (which she proudly attributes to her parentage), being a MovesetClone of Pan.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Like her mother, her hair was purple in the manga, and blue in the anime.
* AgeInappropriateDress: She's a year away from being ''ten'' in ''GT'', yet she dresses and acts like a teenager.
* BadassBoast: In ''Fusions'', screwing up her WoundedGazelleGambit to win Dennish's heart multiple times eventually causes her to fight you with the help of some of her friends. Kid Trunks is surprised to learn that she at least has ''some'' fighting prowess, to which she angrily and proudly claims her lineage, [[InTheBlood something that sounds similar to what Vegeta has said before about Saiyan blood coursing through his veins]].
-->'''Bra:''' Just who do you think I am?! The blood of my mother and father run through my veins!
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: By Baby, although she doesn't do much except help Baby reach his final form in Vegeta's body.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Played for laughs when she lets Vegeta know exactly what she thinks of his mustache.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Despite appearing in the last episode before it, in the last arc of ''GT'', she's never seen or mentioned ever again. Especially jarring when both of the Saiyan families, as well as Uub and Mr. Satan, are present during the fight against Omega Shenron in the finale, and [[DarkestHour when it seems like they lost]] and may have to flee the Earth, Bulla isn't even brought up then.
* DaddysGirl: She's the only person Vegeta actually listens to. She even made him shave his ridiculous PornStache.
* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: In ''Fusions'', she tries to look like she's being attacked by unruly men (actually her friends that she managed to persuade into helping her) so that Dennish, her crush, believes she's in trouble and comes to her rescue. Too bad the protagonists fell for it too.
* ExpressDelivery: Thanks to Whis, who used his staff to speed up the birth AND pretty much teleport her out of Bulma (and wrap her in a blanket too) with no pain whatsoever.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Like the rest of her family, she's named after undergarments ("bura" = "bra"). Vegeta initially wanted to name her "eschalot" (comes from "shallot", a type of onion, ie the Saiyan vegetable theme-naming), but Bulma beat him to it.
* FilleFatale: She likes to flirt with much older men, much to Vegeta's annoyance, keep in mind that she is ''nine''.
* FlatCharacter: Like Marron (the daughter of Krillin and Android 18), she has a lot less relevance to the plot than her parents and her brother, Her only notable contribution is in the Baby Saga, where she gives her energy to Baby Vegeta.
* GadgeteerGenius: In the manga's Super Hero saga, Bulla removes a computer virus when Trunks tries reading one of Dr. Hedo's discs on Bulma's computer.
* GenerationXerox: Looks exactly like her mom and with the same temperament.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Just like her brother, she's half-human, half-saiyan.
* HellBentForLeather: Her ''GT'' outfit.
* JailbaitTaboo: She's mistaken for being much older. Then again, if Vegeta found out you were having sex with his preteen daughter, [[PapaWolf you wouldn't live long enough to go to jail, and even if you did, he'd still find you.]]
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She along with Pan and Uub is not introduced until the last pages of the original manga. She plays a somewhat bigger role in ''GT'', but she has the least screen time between Pan and Uub.
* LivingProp: In the manga, she existed just to show that Vegeta and Bulma are still together and HappilyMarried.
* NiceGirl: Generally, if a bit spoiled. When it's to her family or [[HonoraryTrueCompanion the Son family or some other close allies]], it devolves into HiddenHeartOfGold to some members.
* MoralityPet: To Vegeta.
* SatelliteCharacter: Everything about her character, is only seen in relationship with Vegeta.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Bulla/Bra/Bura?
* StatuesqueStunner: She's designed to be a MsFanservice, attracted the eyes of a couple older men, and is around as tall as a number of the adults. That said, she's only nine, and much taller than Goku was at twelve (and a bit taller than the slightly-older Pan). Plus, Saiyans and half-Saiyans tend to have a major growth spurt in their mid to late teens, so she could get significantly taller.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: In ''GT'' she wears a red midriff top with exposed shoulders, red finger-less gloves that go up to the shoulders, a red mini skirt with a yellow belt buckle, and red thigh-high boots.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks just like her mother did when she was a teenager.
* TheTease: Flirted with two older men while her father was driving.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She and Marron are the girly girls to Pan's tomboy.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** In the quest to recruit her to your team in ''Fusions'', after you defeat her in a battle and explain that you kept screwing up her attempts to get Dennish's attention because you thought she was in danger, she'll call you stupid but also blurts out that she likes you and joins your team.
** In ''Budokai Tenkaichi 2'', she makes comments on how her parents were 'so lame', as she came from further down the timeline than where the game takes place. Later on in the future section of ''Fusions'', she proudly proclaims her parentage to her brother's younger version when he expresses shock that she knows at least basic combat, so it's not like she actually hates her parents or anything.
* ValleyGirl: Like mother, like daughter.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last time she is seen in ''GT'' is helping summon Shenron at the end of the Super 17 arc, only for the Shadow Dragons to be summoned instead.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Officially born in the Age 780, making her ''nine years old'' at the start of ''GT'', and younger than Pan by a year.

Vegeta and Bulma's great-great-grandson, who made his first (and thus far only, [[note]] though he has since appeared in the video game ''Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle''[[/note]]) appearance in the final episode of ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' as Goku Jr.'s opponent in the World Martial Arts Tournament Junior Division.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance: He managed to obtain the Super Saiyan form as a child with seemingly little effort, not even having a clue he'd done something amazing.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He has shades of this, but not quite as bad as his ancestor though.
* BadassAdorable: Considering that he must have acquired his Super Saiyan transformation at about the same time as Goku Jr., despite not knowing what it's called. He seemed well-versed in how it works.
* InnocentProdigy: He didn't even know what a Super Saiyan was when he transformed during his match with Goku Jr. at the tournament.
* IdenticalGrandson: To his great-great-grandfather, Vegeta.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: He appears only in the final episode of ''GT''.
* LegacyCharacter: Named after his famous ancestor, the original Vegeta.
* PintSizedKid: Without his pointed hairstyle he'd most likely be shorter than Goku Jr.
* WarriorPrince: Technically he's this since he is descended (however distantly) from Saiyan royalty, but it's unlikely he even knows it.

Krillin's daughter with Android 18.
----
* AerithAndBob: Her name is pronounced "Maron" and is the French word for "chestnut", which Krillin (Kulilin) is also named after.
* BreakTheCutie: In ''GT'', the poor girl had to witness her father being murdered by her uncle. She didn't witness when Super Buu murdered her father in ''Z'', though, since Buu immediately targeted BOTH her and her mother at one time.
* CheerfulChild: As shown in many scenes with her parents and when she's cheering for her mother in the tournament in the Buu Arc. In ''Dragon Ball Super'' she spends most of her time at Bulma's party gleefully playing with Chaotzu.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: While everyone else is panicking at Beerus and Goku's battle throwing them around, Marron treats it like she's on a fun ride at an amusement park.
* TheCutie: A sweet adorable little girl who is filled with life and energy. She's just as cute, if not even cuter in ''Super''.
* DeathOfAChild: She's three years old at the time of the Buu Saga... and is turned into chocolate and devoured by Buu along with everyone else. Thankfully, she lives in a world where DeathIsCheap. She also dies temporarily alongside her parents when Frieza blows up the Earth in ''Resurrection of F'' and its anime adaptation only for it to be undone by Whis.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Krillin and Marron are both puns on chestnuts.
* FlatCharacter: Compared to her parents, she has very little relevance to the plot. In fact, she is almost always only there to show up as their daughter.
* GirlishPigtails: She has blond, girlish pigtails as a child, teenager, and adult in ''GT''. She loses them in ''Super'', where she now has a short bob hairstyle.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blond hair and is nothing but a good girl.
* HarmfulToMinors: She had to watch her father ''get turned into chocolate by Super Buu and get eaten.'' Then she was killed and eaten herself alongside her mother. Note that, according to [[AllThereInTheManual the Daizenshuu]], Vegetto was only able to keep his power after being turned into candy because of the special properties of his earrings. However, it implies that he'd still be self-aware even if he didn't retain his power. So Marron and the others would still be fully conscious while Super Buu was chewing on them.
** In ''GT'', she watches her father get brutally murdered ''again'', this time by her own uncle Android 17.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In one scene when Master Roshi says that he wants to enter the tournament and she responds with "No way, you're too old!!" Justified as she is only three years old, and she probably doesn't know any better.
* KillTheCutie: DAMN YOU, SUPER BUU...and Frieza! Thankfully, like many others in the series, she's revived. She temporary dies again when Earth gets blown up by Frieza, luckily Whis was there to rewind time this time.
* KilledOffscreen: For better or worse in the manga, it never shows Marron and the others being eaten after Super Buu escapes the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. [[AvertedTrope Averted hard]] [[AdaptationExpansion in the anime]] where Marron and her mother are the next to go after Krillin dies, with Dende and Mr. Popo watching helplessly. {{Downplayed}} in ''Super'' as she's shown doing her homework right as Frieza's EarthShatteringKaboom occurs.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her interactions with both Goten and Trunks as children. Goten and Trunks are romantically paired off with Valese and Mai respectively.
* LivingProp: She's mainly used as a visual cue to Goku and the readers that yes, Krillin and 18 were a couple. ''Super'' gives her a little more personality, but she's still pretty flat.
* NonActionGuy: In ''GT'', which is ironic because her parents are a BattleCouple.
* TheNoseless: As a toddler.
* OnlyOneName: Like her parents, she doesn't have a last name.
* PluckyGirl: Mildly developing into one in ''Super''. While she doesn't fight or train, she's shown to ''love'' all the fighting and danger that goes on around her. When everyone else is screaming and panicking, she laughs and has the time of her life. Also, when given the chance to help Goten and Trunks hunt poachers on an island full of monsters, she jumps at the chance despite having no apparent means of defending herself. [[note]]Though Android 18 states that Marron's not an ordinary girl and that she's tougher than she looks, heavily implying she may or may not have gotten some private training by her parents off-screen prior to the Tournament of Power, in case Marron ever got into danger.[[/note]]
* SheIsAllGrownUp: In ''GT''.
* SkintoneSclerae: Just like her father, but only as a child.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Marron looks like Krillin with 18's blond hair (though done up with pigtails instead of copying her mom's shoulder-length style) as a toddler, which she keeps by ''End of Z'' as a teenager. As a teenage girl in ''End of Z'' and as an adult in GT, whenever she has a disinterested expression, she resembles her mother. She returns to her iconic toddler look for ''Super'' but now has her hair done up in a shortbob haircut making Marron further resembling her mom.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She and Bulla are the girly-girls to Pan's tomboy.

'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/HermanLopez (''current voice''), Ernesto Lezama (1st episodes Z), Creator/ArturoMercado (''rest Z'')

A turtle named Turtle, Master Roshi's loyal pet/housemate. Goku and Bulma met Turtle early in their search for the Dragon Balls when he was lost in the wilderness and returned him to Roshi, who gave Goku the Flying Nimbus as a reward. Turtle is good-natured and friendly but often frustrated at Roshi's skirt-chasing antics.
----
* ActionSurvivor: [[spoiler:Still alive in Trunks's BadFuture in ''Dragon Ball Super''.]][[spoiler:Unfortunately, that version of Turtle seen during that arc is now DeaderThanDead.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Android Arc filler focuses a lot on him, as most of the action centers on Kame House due to the heroes taking shelter there from the Androids and Goku spending his convalescence from the heart virus there. He's also used as Goku's practice dummy for the Evil Containment Wave in ''Super'', [[spoiler:probably to remind the audience (since many getting into the series didn't see Piccolo vs. Kami) for the Tournament of Power later on that despite the name, the wave works just fine on people who aren't demons or evil]].
* BeleagueredAssistant: To Master Roshi.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In anime filler only, Turtle defends Maron from some lecherous fratboys who randomly came to Kame House. He even adopts a kung fu stance as he sends them both packing. This is the only time Turtle has engaged in combat in the entire franchise.
* DemotedToExtra: Like with most of the ''DB''-era cast, he began falling into obscurity starting in ''Z''. The anime filler of the early Cell arc gave him ADayInTheLimelight, at least. By contrast, the Majin Buu arc only featured him canonically in a non-speaking cameo when Gohan informs Krillin about Goku's return for the 25th World Tournament. His only other appearance was in a filler episode during a celebration before the jump ahead to the 28th World Tournament.
* ADogNamedDog: He's a Turtle named Turtle.
* KilledOffscreen: Either it was when Super Buu unleashed his Human Extinction Attack or when Kid Buu blew the Earth to kingdom come. Either way, he didn't accompany the rest to the tournament, let alone the lookout, [[ForegoneConclusion so...]]
* LongLived: Apparently, during the Garlic Jr. filler arc (or about a few months before the androids arc) in ''Dragon Ball Z'', he has turned '''1000 years old'''.
* NiceGuy: He's very mild-mannered and kind, which contrasts greatly with the lecherous and selfish (pre-CharacterDevelopment) Master Roshi.
* OddFriendship: Forms one with Maron during her stay at Kame House in the anime filler.
* OldRetainer: He attempts to curb Roshi's lecherous behavior and advises him from making rash decisions to varying degrees of success.
* RunningGag: In the Japanese version, Goku is constantly getting his name wrong ("Urigome" instead of "Umigame"), even into adulthood.
* SatelliteCharacter: He only exists to be Roshi's pet and to snark at him for his ridiculous ideas and lines.
* ServileSnarker: To Roshi.
* SimpletonVoice: Most of his English voices tend to have a dopey quality to them. It's ironic given that he's meant to be more grounded than his master.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: If Goku's hadn't happened to accidentally pick a stranded Turtle out of the ground and return him to the sea (against Bulma's wishes), he would have never met Master Roshi or begun his martial arts journey that drives him for the rest of the franchise.
* SpeciesSurname: His species is his ''only'' name.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In a manner of speaking. Due to ''Kai's'' editing process, he didn't get to say anything until episode 58.
* TalkingAnimal: Though he talks less and less as the series goes on.

[[folder:Kinto'un / Flying Nimbus]]
!!'''Kinto'un (筋斗雲, "Somersault Cloud")'''
->'''Voiced by: [[TheVoiceless N/A]]'''

A magical yellow cloud gifted to Goku by Master Roshi. It can only by ridden by those with pure hearts. Primarily used as a transport in the days before ki-based {{Flight}} became the norm, Kinto'un is alive and sapient to a degree, enough for Goku to consider it one of his dearest friends. After Goku's second death, Gohan inherits Kinto'un and uses it to transport him to and from school.
----
* BigDamnHeroes: Just as Gohan is about to be curbstomped by Nappa, Kinto'un appears to carry him out of the way.
* TheBusCameBack: It makes a return in ''Super'' when Goku figures out a way to traverse Fortuneteller Baba's forest without attracting monsters with his ki.
* CharacterDeath: Shortly after Krillin's first death at the hands of Tambourine, Kinto'un also gets destroyed by the winged demon, sending Goku into even more of a rage.
* CompanionCube: To a degree, though unlike most examples, Kinto'un is actually alive. Goku and Gohan are very attached to it, nevertheless.
* LegacyCharacter: After the first Kinto'un "dies", Karin gifts Goku a second one spawned from the Huge Kinto'un cloud that floats outside of Karin's Tower. This is where all Kinto'uns spawn from, including Goku's original, meaning that they are all functionally identical as smaller fragments of the same whole.
* MundaneUtility: By the Buu arc, its adventuring days are behind it, and now it only sees usage as a glorified private jet for Gohan to get to Satan City from his rural home in the Styx.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Being able to sit atop Kinto'un is one of the most practical ways of testing if somebody is pure of heart. Early in the series, the likes of Roshi, Bulma, Krillin and Yajirobe would fall straight through the cloud if they tried. Goku was the only one untainted by impure thoughts like lust, greed and cowardice. However, as the series goes on, more characters become able to ride it, including Chichi, [[Manga/DrSlump Arale]], Upa, Gohan, Goten and Uub.
* ShoutOut: Kinto'un, alongside the Nyoibo (Power Pole), is one of the most visible holdovers from Dragon Ball's literary inspiration, ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
* SuperSpeed: Kinto'un has an extraordinary top speed of Mach 1.5, though most of the main characters characters can outpace it with their own {{Flight}}. Gohan's friends note that his journey from home to school would take over five hours in the fastest jet plane on Earth, but Kinto'un can accomplish that distance in about half an hour.
* TheVoiceless: It cannot speak, but it does express itself in other ways.

Originally a con artist who terrorized a small village using his shapeshifting powers, Oolong is a greedy, lecherous pig (literally); when Goku defeated him, Oolong joined him and Bulma in their search for the Dragon Balls. At first a useless whiner, Oolong later proved his worth by "stealing" Pilaf's wish from the Dragon Balls (by wishing for a pair of girl's panties). He and Puar were rivals in shapeshifting school, but because Oolong dropped out in kindergarten, his powers only allow him to stay transformed for five minutes.
----
* AccidentalTruth: After dealing with Goku's Oozaru form, Oolong quips, "So what is he? Some kind of space alien?" Yup.
* AchillesHeel: He can only stay shapeshifted for five minutes. If he's shapeshifted for five minutes together (no matter how many forms he went through in that time span), he has to rest a minute before he can do it again. (Check his debut chapter in the manga: He can go straight from one form to another, so long as he hasn't used up all five minutes.)
* AdaptationalBadass: In the unofficial Chinese Movie ''Film/DragonBallTheMagicBegins'', Oolong (known as Piggy) has the ability to turn into Rambo (yes [[Franchise/{{Rambo}} that Rambo]]).
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Oolong is a piggish human in the unofficial movie ''Film/DragonBallTheMagicBegins''.
* AgeLift: In the Japanese materials, he starts out being only nine years old (three years younger than Goku) and it reflects in his actor's voice. However, [[DubText most of the English versions]] have him talking like a fairly older man (calling Goku "kid" throughout the first arc, etc). This is prevalent even with the more accurate translations in ''Kai'' and ''Super''.
* AscendedExtra: Oolong was reduced to a background character in the ''Z'' portion of the manga. Toei, however, took a liking to the guy and gave him more screentime in the filler, movies, and commercials.
* BigDamnHero: Oolong interrupted Pilaf's wish preventing Pilaf from becoming ruler of the world.
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: How Bulma gets him to join the adventure. She slips him a drug that acts as a laxative every time he hears whistling.
* BringMyBrownPants: Often pissed himself in fear in the manga.
* ChekhovsGag: His wish for panties ends up coming up again in [=GT=] when it turned out the Six-Star Dragon's existence came from it. How embarrassing.
* ChivalrousPervert: At least he ''thinks'' of himself as chivalrous. The pervert part is ''completely accurate'' however.
* CompositeCharacter: If you're familiar with ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'', Oolong actually has elements of both Zhu Bajie ("Piggy/Pigsy") ''and'' Sun Wukong ("Monkey"). He most directly references Zhu Bajie, being a lecherous, gluttonous pig monster - his initial encounter is even an adaptation of how Zhu Bajiei is recruited in ''[=JttW=]''. However, his adeptness at shapeshifting is a trait taken from Sun Wukong[[note]]Zhu Bajie could also shapeshift in ''[=JttW=]'', but Sun Wukong was much better at it and it was much more the monkey spirit's go-to trick[[/note]], and likewise he has a magical restraining bolt (the "swee-trots" candy he ate, which causes him to suffer explosive diarrhea attacks if he hears whistling), which calls to mind Sun Wukong's famous "headache headband".
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly before he turns nicer.
* DemotedToExtra: Even though most characters in the series get demoted to extra sooner or later, Oolong is especially noteworthy because he is essentially the {{Tritagonist}} of the original arc of the series, but after that, he completely loses his importance to the plot. Even Puar at least gets a small role later during the fight against Uranai Baba's warriors, but Oolong? Restricted to the background and a few CombatCommentator lines here and there. Once the Saiyans show up, he's more or less out of the picture entirely.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: How else do you explain why he drugged Goku when he knew that Yamcha was out to rob them?
* DirtyCoward: Mostly in the earlier chapters of the series, especially before he considered Goku and the others as his true friends.
* DirtyKid: Puar explains that in the past Oolong was kicked out of "transformation kindergarten" for stealing the teacher's panties. Not only that, but he's actually ''three years younger'' than Goku, making him only 9 during the first arc of the original series. Bulma even lampshades it in the original Japanese:
-->'''Bulma''': What kind of kid acts like a middle-aged pervert?
* DubNameChange: Became "Mao Mao" in the Harmony Gold dub, presumably because of the Chinese uniform he originally wears. The BLT test pilot renamed him "Chester".
* ExactWords: The reason Oolong got women's panties when he made his wish in the English dub. He wished for "the world's most comfortable pair of underwear". Said underwear just happened to be ''lady's'' underwear.
* {{Expy}}: One of the more obvious ones among the early characters, as he's the clear equivalent to Zhu Bajie (aka "Piggy") from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' in the group. A significant part of the reason he gets DemotedToExtra so badly is that he made less sense to keep on the further ''DB'' strayed from having ''anything'' to do with ''[=JttW=]''.
* HypocriticalHumor: Frequently gets on others for being pessimistic about Goku and the other fighters' fates when they're missing in action but is relatively quick himself to assume the worst during the series' darker turns, especially in the King Piccolo Saga.
* IncompletelyTrained: He took classes at the Shapeshifter Academy, but was expelled after [[DirtyKid stealing their teacher's panties]]. As a result, Oolong can only hold a shape for five minutes at a time, whereas Puar can morph indefinitely.
* InformedAbility: His shapeshifting becomes this after ''Dragon Ball''.
* KilledOffscreen: Played straight in the manga where it cuts away to Goku watching in horror as Super Buu changes everyone on the Lookout into chocolate and eats them. Averted somewhat in the anime where they do show the carnage and the [[ShadowDiscretionShot shadowy terror]] of everyone's conversion into candy bars.
* LarynxDissonance: in the Funimation dub, he has a deep voice. This fits in ''Z'' where Oolong is an adult but is odd in the first series where Oolong is a child.
* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: In the first non-canon movie. When he transforms into Bulma to fool Roshi (like in the original story), his first reaction is to "check" his new body, embarrassing Bulma.
* MessyPig: He may be more mentally than physically messy, but he qualifies nonetheless.
* NonHumanSidekick: The first of the series, before Yamcha pulled a HeelFaceTurn with Puar.
* PaperTiger: In his first appearance. He uses his transformation magic to intimidate people, but as he himself notes, using transformation magic to become a powerful monster doesn't give you the ''abilities'' of that monster.
* PervertedPig: Oolong is dirty in mind if not in body.
* PigMan: A walking, talking pig, and one of the first talking animals to play a big role.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He screwed Pilaf's wish for immortality by intervening.
* SmarterThanYouLook: He's the ''only'' one who recognizes Chichi when ShesAllGrownUp. And he had met her only ''once''. It is true to real life, as pigs are proven to be surprisingly intelligent even when they're piglets.
* ThemeNaming: With Puar, after tea.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Oolong and Puar were classmates at the Shapeshifter Academy, due to dropping out earlier, Oolong can only hold his form for five minutes.

A shape-shifting cat-like creature and Yamcha's closest friend. Puar is fiercely loyal to Yamcha. Puar mostly just provides moral support to Goku and his friends but saved everyone the first time Goku transformed into a Great Ape by cutting off Goku's tail.
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: He's a parrot in ''Film/DragonBallTheMagicBegins''.
* AmbiguousGender: In the Japanese version, Puar's gender is not directly referred to though it sometimes does use masculine pronouns. In the English version, Puar is referred to as a female on a few occasions when its gender is mentioned. This isn't the case in other translations such as the Portuguese translation which has Puar state himself as male in his introduction. Eventually, Toriyama was asked about Puar's gender and he said he considered Puar male when writing the manga. For some odd reason, however, the official ''Dragon Ball'' site lists Puar as female.
* BecomingTheMask: Just like Yamcha, he initially assisted Goku and the others in gathering the Dragon Balls with the intention of stealing them once they got all seven. It wasn't until the events at Pilaf's castle that Yamcha and Puar became friends with them for real.
* BlackBeadEyes: In the same vein as Upa, who he tag-teams with during the Fortuneteller Baba Saga.
* CuteKitten: Just look at his picture!
* DemotedToExtra: Puar went from shapeshifting into items and animals in the original series to only being Yamcha's friend in ''Z.''
* DubNameChange: Became "Squeaker" in the Harmony Gold dub, "Prudence" in the "Zero"/BLT test dub of ''Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies'', and "Plume" in the AB Groupe French dub of ''Dragon Ball: The Path to Power''.
* EvilCounterpart: Seemingly to Oolong in the beginning, except Puar was ironically more moral!
* FaintInShock: Plus grief after Yamcha is killed by the Saibamen with Puar and the other non-combatants watching from Kame House. Unlike Chi-Chi, Puar does not regain consciousness to see any more of the battle.
* {{Flight}}: Puar can inexplicably fly.
* InformedAbility: Like Oolong, Puar doesn't use his shapeshifting abilities after the original series until ''Dragon Ball Super'' where he uses it to turn into [[spoiler: Beerus]].
* KilledOffscreen: This happened in the manga's Buu arc when Super Buu turned all of the non-fighting crowd on Kami's Lookout into chocolate bars and ate them. Averted in the anime where we see a horrible ShadowDiscretionShot of him and Yamcha being changed (they're the last to be eaten).
* NonHumanSidekick: To Yamcha during their bandit days.
* SatelliteCharacter: Puar is mostly important in relation to Yamcha.
* RightHandCat: To Yamcha during his bandit days, though more sympathetic than most.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Alternately, "Pu'erh", "Puaru".
* TalkingAnimal: Puar is less anthropomorphic than Oolong.
* ThemeNaming: With Oolong, after tea.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Yamcha.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Oolong and Puar were classmates at the Shapeshifter Academy. Unlike Oolong, however, Puar finished his education there and thus can hold any form as long as he wants.

'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Cristina Camargo

Minor joke character during the original series was picked up and brought to Roshi by Goku and Krillin to bribe him into training the two. Her "mood swings"--really a split personality--when she sneezes provided a fair amount of comedy, shifting between a sweet blue-haired ingenue and a violent blond criminal. She's not heard from much in the ''Z'' series (because Creator/AkiraToriyama [[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/rumor/characters/ decided to write her out]]).
----
[[AC:Both]]
* TheBusCameBack: She reappears in ''Anime/DragonBallYoSonGokuAndHisFriendsReturn''
* TheCameo: At the end of ''Z'' when you can see her lifting her hands up in the air to give energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She vanishes after the Piccolo Jr. Saga in the manga. She did get a bit more screen time in the anime, but only in the Saiyan Saga and a cameo towards the end of the Buu Saga. Reportedly, [[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/rumor/characters/ this is because Toriyama decided to write her out, and later he wrongly thought he forgot about her]].
* DemotedToExtra: The grand finale of the manga reunited everyone ''but'' Lunch. Lunch appeared in the draft, but she was replaced with No. 17 in the published issue. The anime, at least, briefly showed her contributing to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb. She also later appears in the OVA, although she has no lines.
* DubNameChange: From Lunch to Launch in the English dub.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Named after a meal in a story where many characters are named after food and teas.
* ForeheadOfDoom: You can see how huge her forehead is because her hair doesn't cover it.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Good Lunch has TaremeEyes, Bad Lunch has TsurimeEyes.
* JekyllAndHyde: Her Jekyll is Good Lunch while her Hyde is Bad Lunch.
* KilledOffscreen: It's a given that she died during Buu's rampage on Earth, likely when Fat Buu was going around destroying things or when Super Buu used his Human Extinction Attack and wiped out everyone except for Mr. Satan, Tien, and Chiaotzu. We never see it, though.
* MsFanservice: She wears revealing clothes and a lot of other characters find her attractive, particularly [[DirtyOldMan Master Roshi]].
* OnlyOneName: Like many others in the series, she doesn't have a surname.
* OutOfFocus: She was hit particularly hard with this — she didn't even get PutOnABus, she was just gone. Her only appearances in ''Z'' were anime-only scenes in Saiyan Saga filler and a small cameo in the Buu Saga where she added her power to Goku's final Spirit Bomb.
* PutOnABus: In the first saga of DBZ. She's last seen getting drunk in a bar but makes a very brief cameo appearance in the Kid Buu saga giving Goku energy with the other earthlings.[[note]]Plus a nightmarish vision during Goku's fight with Frieza, though her image was edited out in ''Kai''[[/note]] In the manga, she was put on a bus after the DB portion and remains absent for the rest of the series.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is more accurately rendered as "Lunch", but the English versions call her "Launch".
* SingleTargetSexuality: Lunch has only ever had eyes for Tien, it was impossible that she'd move on.
* SplitPersonality: One half's a sweet blunette and the other's a hot-tempered blonde.
* SplitPersonalityMakeover: Good Lunch is blue-haired, while Bad Lunch is blonde.
* SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger: The blue-haired and gentle Lunch turns into her blonde and violent other personality and back whenever she sneezes.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: PlayedForLaughs: Blue Launch is as delicate as she appears, unable to move or throw objects very far while Blonde Launch is a powerhouse, able to carry entire armories and heavy weaponry like nothing. This is despite the only difference being in personality and appearance.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl:
** Good Lunch is Girly Girl, Bad Lunch is Tomboy.
** Bulma and Lunch vary on which is the tomboy and which is the girly girl depending on which of Lunch's personalities is dominant. If Lunch is in her blond form, she's a gun-crazy kleptomaniac and Bulma is a fashion-conscious non-combatant. If Lunch is in her blue-haired form, she's a naive ingenue and Bulma is the adventurous Wrench Wench.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Famously, despite both being a capable gunslinger and a long-time friend of the Z-Fighters, she's all but missing from the group without any explanation. Her anime appearance mitigates this slightly, occasionally showing her cameos, but her absence is still uncommented.

[[AC:Good Lunch]]
* TheDitz: She's very kind to everyone she meets, but she can be woefully ignorant of her surroundings.
* FanserviceWithASmile: Good Launch does this, even though she's not smiling all the time. You can even unlock her outfit for Android 18 in ''Ultimate Butouden'' on the DS.
* TheIngenue: Her innocent persona is pure of heart as she is quite capable of riding the Flying Nimbus with Goku in the anime.
* LethalChef: Not in general, but Good Lunch's ditziness has caused her to try cooking a toxic pufferfish for Master Roshi and Krillin, poisoning both of them for the next day.
* NiceGirl: She is sweet and pure-hearted, and one of the people who can ride the nimbus.
* NonActionGuy: Compared to her blonde self, Blue Launch is simply too soft to raise a hand to anyone, which means she's a DamselInDistress if any enemies come around.
* OutOfFocus: Due to her passive attitude and lack of action capability, she ends up getting much less of development compared to her blonde counterpart.
* ParentalSubstitute: She was the closest thing to a mother figure that Goku had as a child.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She's sweet and kind to others and is very shy.
* TeamMom: The closest the original DB cast had to one, as she was very kind and patient to all her friends, willing to do all sorts of things to keep them happy, no matter how weird it may be.
* TeamNormal: Plays this as straight as she can. Without a genius brain, fighting capability, or knowledge of any teaching or techniques, Good Launch is as close to a normal human in the main cast- if not for being a bit ditzy.

[[AC:Bad Lunch]]
* AccentAdaptation: The old Harmony Gold dub and the Blue Water dub give her [[DeepSouth a rough southern drawl.]] Funimation by contrast gives her [[{{Joisey}} a thick New Jersey accent]] which most know her for today, though her actress in ''Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle'' did not give her any noticeable accent (neither did AB Groupe's dubs).
* ActionGirl: Dragon Ball's very first one, while not in on the action as much as the guys, she is the only girl in the series capable of performing any kind of straightforward fight.
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: Bad Lunch has the hots for Tenshinhan after being smitten with his power in battle.
* AntiHero: Bad Lunch could be an UnscrupulousHero or even a NominalHero at times.
* AxCrazy: Bad Lunch is a gun-crazy kleptomaniac. However, she does get several levels of kindness added to her character as time goes on.
* BadassNormal: She's just a normal human with no training of any kind, but is dangerous in her blond form. She always has a gun ready and shows no fear of attacking or threatening anyone including the Red Ribbon Army, the Crane Hermit, or even King Piccolo.
* BerserkButton: She has several, including but not limited to: Roshi's perversion and anyone getting between her and Tien.
* BloodKnight: While not as pronounced as the Z-Fighters, she doesn't shy away from violence when it comes her way, in fact, she seems to rather enjoy it. She agrees to raid the Red Ribbon Army for little reason than that she'd enjoy the action.
* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the very masculine pronoun "ore".
* CharacterDevelopment: A more subtle example, given how there's never a particular amount of focus on it but Blonde Launch starts out as ''very'' violent, to the point she shot at Goku and Krillin for the crimes of just being in her view. As time goes on she does mellow out; she becomes attached to her group of friends (especially Goku and Tien) and goes from actively antagonizing them for her own self-interest, to wanting to spend time with them, regardless of her status as TheDreaded.
* DeepSouth: Her accent is lightly southern in the Blue Water dub. She also has a heavier variation in the Harmony Gold dub.
* TheDreaded: Mostly PlayedForLaughs, though her debut in the anime implies that she's done a lot to earn a bounty of two million bucks.[[note]]The wanted poster uses dollars and not zeni for whatever reason[[/note]] Most poor bystanders end up having the crap scared out of them whenever she starts yelling or shooting up her surroundings. Even after she softens, the others tend to treat her with a sliver of fear whenever she starts.
* DrowningMySorrows: Her reaction to Tien's death, she's found drinking in a bar as the news reports the death toll.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Bad Lunch may be a [[AxCrazy trigger happy lunatic]], but she's still disgusted by the atrocities [[SatanicArchetype King Piccolo]] commits (aside from [[PlayedForLaughs briefly mentioning]] that she'd sort of like a lawless world without reproach).
* {{Expy}}: Launch's bad form was based on Polly Buckets, a character from ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' (Toriyama's precedent work).
* GoodIsNotNice: She eventually becomes this instead of evil, still being a gun-toting gal with disregard for the law.
* TheGunslinger: When she loses her temper, people will get shot. Good thing most of the cast is bulletproof.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Inverted. Her blue-haired form has a pure heart of gold while her blond form is an AntiHero.
* HairTriggerTemper: She is an angry, trigger-happy woman.
* HeelFaceTurn: To put it in perspective, in the beginning, whenever Lunch changed she would instantly attack Roshi, Goku, and Krillin on sight with a machine gun, by the end of ''Dragon Ball'' she stops attacking people in general, only attacking those who are out to harm her friends. This also leads to the bad Lunch having much more screen time in the later part of the series, spending hours and even days at a time in her blonde form.
* HopelessSuitor: Bad Lunch has a massive crush on Tien, who does not comment on the matter. Unfortunately for Launch, the two are not shown to be together in ''any'' Dragon Ball media.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Bad Lunch's crush stemmed from Tien's ruthless fighting style.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bad Lunch eventually becomes this once she considers Goku and the others as her friends. She grows to be more tolerant and protective of them, and therefore less likely to shoot them.
* {{Joisey}}: Her accent in the Funimation dubs.
* MoreDakka: She has her own stacks of guns. Apparently, she left most of them behind when she left after Tien according to a filler scene where Chi-Chi found them and intended to rescue Gohan from the Saiyans.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Her first thought for most things is just to shoot or whack anyone that is going against her goals, even when she actually becomes friends with the main cast, she'll try to shoot anyone who tries to hurt her friends.
* OneManArmy: Impressively, Bad Launch is more than enough to wipe the floor with the grunts of the Red Ribbon Army without breaking a sweat.
* PetTheDog: While not actually evil, her bad persona has a few moments. In ''Dragon Ball'' during one of the tournaments, she buys Goku ice cream. One of the few times she does something nice in her bad form. Later on, she rescues Goku from two people intent on stopping him from winning the match to settle a SideBet. In ''Z'', she kidnapped the finest chefs in the world just so she could create a world-class meal for Tien and Chaotzu.
* ReformedCriminal: She sometimes says she wants to rob banks and such, but aside from her introduction she's never seen actually doing so.
* SneezeCut: Bad Lunch was about to attack King Piccolo, but Bulma whispers something about her, and she sneezes and turns back.
* SociopathicHero: Bad Lunch, though she begins to soften in the back half of the Red Ribbon Army arc.
* TankTopTomboy: She wears outfits like this.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Even after Bad Lunch accepts Goku and company as friends, she's still a violent gun-toting criminal. She outright says she likes King Piccolo's style, but sides against him out of loyalty to her TrueCompanions.
* TookALevelInKindness: She is still quite violent and trigger-happy near the end, but she will fight to defend her friends, especially Tien. She also shows disgust over King Piccolo's actions despite liking some of his policies.

A baby dragon that befriended Gohan after Gohan rescued him from a forest fire.
----
* CanonForeigner: He was created for ''The Tree of Might'' and made subsequent appearances in ''Lord Slug'' and ''Cooler's Revenge'', all of which are {{Non Serial Movie}}s, and later appeared in anime-only filler episodes.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He completely disappears after the "driving episode" of ''Dragon Ball Z'' (the last episode before the debut of the Androids). Goten mentions him at one point whilst playing with an animal out in the forest (English dub only) during the beginning of the Majin Buu saga, which seems to suggest Icarus, like many pets, died a few years before (or ran away, but which seems unlikely given its bond to Gohan).
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In ''Anime/TheTreeOfMight'' he actually ''attacks Shen Long''. Fortunately, Gohan saves Haiya Dragon from the counter-attack.
* DragonRider: Gohan rides him sometimes, despite having a higher flight speed on his own. This is actually justified in one special: as Gohan would have been detected immediately if he used enough energy to fly, riding on Icarus allowed him to travel a great distance without being found out. Giving the dragon a Senzu Bean later boosted his energy levels high enough for a scouter to pick up. Whoops.
* DubNameChange: His Japanese name is Haiya (or Higher) Dragon. The only English dub to keep the original name was Ocean's uncut version of ''The Tree of Might''.
* {{Expy}}: The producers of the ''Anime/TheTreeOfMight'' took inspiration from ''Taxi Dragon'' from ''Manga/DoctorSlump.''
* MeaningfulName: He was named after the Greek mythology character named Icarus, who had wax wings and flew too close to the sun.
* MoralityPet: In ''Anime/TheTreeOfMight'', he calms Oozaru Gohan after he goes berserk and attacks his own father.
* NoNameGiven: The original French dub of ''Z'', as usual.
* NonHumanSidekick: To Gohan in the movie and in the Garlic Jr. filler arc.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Gohan, even in his Great Ape form.

Mr. Satan and Fat Buu's pet dog.
----
* CanineCompanion: Mr. Satan's loyal but friendly dog. He is also Fat Buu's pet dog and second best friend.
* EvilDetectingDog: As Super Buu is about to absorb Piccolo and Gotenks, Bee is quick to detect the disturbance and starts yelping. [[FailedASpotCheck If only Piccolo had been paying attention with those ears of his.]]
* MoralityPet: To Fat Buu. Like Mr. Satan, Bee helps Fat Buu see what is right and wrong and brings out his inner goodness. Satan himself is shown patting the pup's head in a few filler segments after Super Buu wipes out most of humanity, subtly showcasing how the otherwise vain and pompous world champ has his softer side.
* ThemeNaming: Following the pattern of Mr. Satan's family, Bee likely gets his name from the Hell prince of gluttony himself Main/{{Beelzebub}}. Makes sense when you consider Buu's appetite.
%%* UndyingLoyalty: To Mr. Satan and Fat Buu.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He only makes a cameo in a photograph during ''GT'' and is otherwise nowhere to be found, though it could be he simply passed from old age.

-->''"I'm T2006, but you can call me Giru!"''

A walking RobotBuddy who, after eating the Dragon Radar, became a walking radar itself. Giru is an exclusive character from ''GT''.
------
* BadassAdorable: Despite being a little robot sidekick who never gets involved in the fights, he managed to single-handedly take down a giant antlion monster when this one was attacking an exhausted Pan. In ''VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes'', he's even a fighter character.
* ButtMonkey: He frequently receives verbal and physical abuse from Pan.
* CatchPhrase: Giru has a tendency for this. ''"Danger! Danger! Pan! Danger!"''
%%* CuteMachines: See BadassAdorable.
* DeathIsCheap: Giru has been killed three times during ''GT'', but comes back without a problem thanks to being a robot.
* DubNameChange: SpellMyNameWithAnS aside, the German localization changed his serial number from [=DB4649T2006RS=] to [=DD4649T22006RS=], changing the B to another D and adding another 2 in-between.
* FakeDefector: After arriving on Planet M2, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Giru was working for General Rilldo and the rest of the bad guys all along. Except it turns out he wasn't and that he was working for the good guys, by deceiving Rilldo and the Machine Mutants.]]
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Giru is the first Machine Mutant who manages to defy his programming and rebels against his creator.
* TheLittleDetecto: He ate the Dragon Radar, so only he can track the Black Star Dragon Balls.
* MechanicalLifeform: Giru is classed as a Machine Mutant, a species of artificially created mechanical beings, but are all considered alive and with a lifeforce.
* MetalMuncher: He can eat anything made of metal, and he ends up having to tag along with the heroes after consuming the Dragon Radar.
* OverlyLongName: His serial number is [=DB4649T2006RS=]. The inhabitants of Planet M2 all call him by that serial number.
* PowerCopying: In a sense, he can integrate devices into himself and copy their functions, as shown with the Dragon Radar.
* PunnyName: His name seems to be a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "gear." As in, those things machines have, get it?
* RedAlert: He often gives off warnings whenever he detects danger.
* RobotBuddy: A small robot who became best friends with Pan.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Giru has a tendency to become incapacitated whenever the BigBad of the saga rears its ugly head.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Giru, Gill, Gil. Several dubs use either of those spellings.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Pan. The fact he could counter-attack her (as evidenced by his fight with the giant desert monster), but chooses to tolerate her abuse of him says a lot.
* VerbalTicName: Giru, who has a tendency to say "''Giru Giru Giru!''". He initially introduces himself as T2006, which prompts Goku and co. to rename him after his verbal tic simply because it's easier.
