22! Earthlings
23[[folder:In General]]
24!!Earthlings (地球人 ''Chikyūjin'')
25
26The diverse inhabitants of planet Earth that serves as the home for Goku and his friends. On the galactic scale, [[InsignificantLittleBluePlanet Earth is considered a weak, insignificant world with little of value for aliens to plunder]] besides the wish-granting Dragon Balls, yet individual humans have demonstrated extraordinary potential. While Earth serves as a battleground for countless pivotal battles for the fate of the whole universe, the general populace are blissfully unaware of their alien and superhuman saviors. Nevertheless, individual humans who study the way of martial arts have proven to have extraordinary potential.
27----
28* AnthropomorphicZigZag: The term "Earthling" does not exclusively refer to humans, but encompasses the whole range of sentient beings on the planet including the "Animal-types" and "Monster-types". [[FurryConfusion Normal, non-sentient animals also exist]]. [[ShooOutTheClowns The animals and monsters were gradually phased out of the setting]] save for a handful of individuals as the manga's tone became more adult. It was later explained in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'' that most Animal-type Earthlings were originally normal humans who consumed a drug called Animaline which was steadily phased out of society, which comes of as strange when King Furry who is the ''King of the Earth'' is one of these anthropomorphic people, and contradicts his coming from a long line of animal type Earthlings. That said, there seems to be steady supply of animal-people by the time ''GT'' and ''Online'' roll around.
29* {{Arcadia}}: While humanity may be flawed, the Dragon World itself is portrayed as peaceful world with advanced cities and large rural areas.
30* FictionalEarth: The geography, technology and history of Dragon Ball's Earth is very different to ours. The majority of human society is compressed in four large citadels in the four cardinal directions. Technology is far more advanced, yet most of the planet seems to be borderline feudal. The entire planet is ruled by a single monarch, who commands a large royal military force.
31* HumansAreBastards: Humans are generally passive and peaceful, but there are many examples throughout the series of them becoming despicable monsters. Characters like Mercenary Tao, Dr. Gero and Van Zant embody the worst of humanity. Kami even reached a DespairEventHorizon when he came to believe that humanity were unworthy of the gift of the Dragon Balls since they only used them for selfish gain.
32* HumansAreMorons: Akira Toriyama seems to have a rather cynical view of humanity, since in the Dragon World they are generally portrayed as stupid, weak, gullible, and overly acclimatized to peace. They unquestioningly worship Mr. Satan as their protector despite all of the obvious evidence that he is a fraud, and yet they are overly skeptical of the Z-Warriors, their true saviors. Most of them either don't believe in ki due to Mr. Satan disavowing it as "tricks", or are unaware that it exists. This becomes a critical plot point at the very end of the series when they refuse to lend Goku their energy but instantly yield when Mr. Satan asks them to. [[IdiotHero Goku]], of all people, flat out calls them [[PrecisionFStrike dumbasses.]]
33* HumansAreWarriors: {{Subverted}} for the most part, with the exception of sufficiently powerful ones like Krillin and Yamcha. Vegeta says, somewhat condescendingly, that them giving their energy to destroy Majin Buu was their first step in becoming a warrior race.
34* InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: So insignificant that Bardock specifically programmed baby Kakarot's space pod to travel there since the likelihood of the Frieza Force ever noticing it was slim.
35* SuperGullible: The people swallow every word Mr. Satan says with no critical thought whatsoever, no matter how absurd or illogical his justifications are.
36* TechnologyLevels: The Dragon Ball version of Earth is pretty well off on the tech front thanks to Capsule Corporation's wondrous innovations which include [[FlyingCar Flying Cars]], space travel and their patented capsule technology which allows for objects of any size to be contained in tiny pills that seem to be BiggerOnTheInside. However, compared to the rest of the galaxies, Earth is still considered small-fry.
37* TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed: Ever since King Piccolo's revival, the Earth has been constantly under threat from hostile forces, forcing our RagtagBunchOfMisfits to step up and save the planet.

41[[folder:Suno]]
42!!'''Suno (''Snow'')'''
43->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/NaokoWatanabe (''DB''); Creator/MayumiTanaka (''Z'', ''GT''); Creator/HirokoEmori (''Revenge of King Piccolo'')\
44'''Voiced by (English):''' Susan Huber (''DB'', ''Z''), Creator/LauraBailey (''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'', ''Revenge of King Piccolo''), Creator/FeleciaAngelle (''[=DBZKai=]'') (Funimation dub); France Perras (''Z''; Kid Buu Saga) (Ocean dub)
45
46A young girl and resident of Jingle Village. She's the one who finds Goku when he crash-landed near the village and nearly freeze to death. She and her mother nurse him back to health and prepare Goku for his assault on Muscle Tower and stop the Red Ribbon Army from seizing Jingle Village.
47----
48* AdorablyPrecociousChild: For someone so young and innocent, Suno is quite mature and responsible for her age, personally taking up responsibility for saving someone's life and being open to accepting an android into her village's community.
49* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the manga, Suno was supposed to have blonde hair, though the anime and all following adaptations nowadays tend to depict her as a redhead.
50* AllLovingHero: She does the best she can to help and care for others. In fact, her introductory scene is her bringing Goku back to her home and helping him recover. She even comes to see Android 8 as a brotherly figure, despite him being built for terroristic purposes, and she even tries to care for the injured during the King Piccolo saga. Even as an adult, Suno never loses her tendency to help others, as she tries to save Eighter again in Muscle Tower in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZAttackOfTheSaiyans''.
51* TheBusCameBack: Years after her first notable role and appearing in cameos, Suno makes her first proper reappearance in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'', albeit in a side-story that involves her asking Goku for ingredients to collect for her village. Tellingly, the quest's title is "''Reunion with Suno''".
52* HeroicBystander: She was first seen simply taking a stroll on the outskirts of Jingle Village by the time she noticed the wreckage of the plane that Goku was traveling in. She was quick to carry Goku all the way to her home and nurse him back to health.
53* KidHero: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; she's a supporting character in all of her appearances, but come the King Piccolo Saga, she's seen in a hospital tending to those injured by the demon. While not a fighter by any means, her presence in the hospital, plus her helping Goku and being accepting of Eighter despite being a creation of the Red Ribbon Army shows that she has a heroic heart.
54* MeaningfulName: Her name is an anagram of "Snow", which is evocative of the fact that she lives in a village that's situated in a snowy climate. That's the case in English localizations; her name in Japanese is literally ''Snow''.
55* NiceGirl: Suno is a kind, accommodating, and compassionate girl who always reserves a friendly tone to whoever she talks to. Heck, she opts to bring Goku to her village and help him recover, basically saving his life from freezing to death.
56* PlatonicLifePartners: She develops one with Android 8 when he is free from General White's grasp and is allowed to live in Suno's house with the two of them forming a close friendship. They are still with each other by the time Suno is shown as an adult.
57* PutOnABus: Much like nearly every supporting cast in ''Dragon Ball'', Suno is unheard of afterward. She does make a cameo during the Kid Buu Saga in ''Z'' and the Baby Saga in ''GT''. It's not until ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'' when Suno finally makes a proper reappearance, albeit under a side-quest.
58* ShesAllGrownUp: By the time she reappears in works that take place after ''Dragon Ball'', Suno has since grown into a pretty-looking woman. She still looks quite youthful by ''GT'', which is impressive given how most characters who appeared in previous entries tend to have aged considerably since.
59* SmallRoleBigImpact: ''Dragon Ball'' ends up being her only notable appearance and even then, she's only a supporting character in the Red Ribbon Army Saga. That said, Goku would have died from the cold if Suno hadn't found him after his plane ride had crashed and was given immediate medical care. She's arguably the only character to have saved Goku's life without the use of ki or any external magical sources.

68
69The chief of a native tribe that served as the guardians of Korin Tower. He and his son, Upa meet Goku after he finds a dragon ball and runs afoul of the Red Ribbon Army. Bora proved to be a very powerful warrior earlier in the series with gunfire deflecting off his body.
70----
71* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Bora and Upa appear slightly earlier in the anime, which showcases the boy's admiration for his father when the man saves his son from a giant carnivorous fish and shields him from falling molten rocks that emit from a volcano near Korin Tower.
72* AscendedExtra: Of a sort in ''Mystical Adventure''. His death occurs a little while later than in the series and he manages to aid the heroes in Chiaotzu's Tournament before Tao drops all pretenses and enacts Shen's coup.
73* BackFromTheDead: Has the distinct "honor" of being the first character to be wished back to life by the Dragon Balls.
74* BadassNative: He's one of the series' earliest examples due to him fighting off several soldiers while getting shot at.
75* TheBigGuy: Bora is a huge muscle-bound warrior who towers over just about everyone he's next to.
76* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Feather in his long hair and buckskin pants with a [[LoinCloth loin cloth]].
77* ChivalrousPervert: He isn't above staring at Blond Launch's rear end for a while when he sees her rummaging through his tent.
78* CoveredInScars: More apparent in his old age, which raises the question of what exactly scarred a bullet-proof man.
79* CurbStompBattle: Easily beat a unit of the Red Ribbon Army. He is then killed with ease by Mercenary Tao.
80* DemotedToExtra: Hit with this after the Red Ribbon Army Saga, hard.
81* DistractedByTheSexy: The aforementioned look at Launch's butt.
82* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Mercenary Tao impales him with his own spear.
83* LightningBruiser: Dispatches the Red Ribbon Army soldiers with amazing speed despite his size.
84* MrFanservice: He's a total Native hunk who's never seen with a shirt.
85* NighInvulnerability: Bullets bounce off him like it's nothing.
86* OldSoldier: He continues to guard the tower even as he's hinted to become a grandfather, and his though his hair has greyed his build hasn't diminished.
87* SacrificialLamb: The first good character to die in the series.
88* SmallRoleBigImpact: He barely appears at all, but collecting the Dragonballs to bring him back from the dead occupies a fairly significant chunk of the early plot.
89* WalkingShirtlessScene: Bora is never seen wearing a shirt.
90* TheWorfEffect: Despite mopping up the Red Ribbon Army's goons, he is severely beaten and killed by Mercenary Tao.

102
103Bora's son and ally to Goku after he is saved from Captain Yellow of the Red Ribbon Army. Not nearly as brave or as powerful as Goku or his father, Upa helps Goku collect the dragon balls using them to wish his father back to life after being killed by Mercenary Tao.
104----
105* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Upa and Bora appear slightly earlier in the anime which showcases the boy's admiration for his father when the man saves his son from a giant carnivorous fish and shields him from falling molten rocks that emit from a volcano near Korin Tower.
106* ArtShift: His eyes went from dots when he was a kid to having a more normal shape in his adulthood. Curiously, his teenage cameo in the Saiyan Saga, which was filler, has him still with the beady eyes.
107* BlackBeadEyes: As a child and teenager, he had cute little dots for eyes. Funny enough, he shares this trait with Puar who he teamed up with for their fight against Fangs the Vampire.
108* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Feather in his long hair and buckskin pants with a {{loincloth}} and vest.
109* BreakTheCutie: Watching his father get killed by Mercenary Tao.
110* TheCameo: He's the first to recognize Goku's voice and offers his energy to the Spirit Bomb.
111* CryIntoChest: When his father was revived.
112* DemotedToExtra: He wasn't seen a lot after the Red Ribbon Saga, much less in ''DBZ'' and ''DBGT''.
113* DudeLooksLikeALady: As a child. Krillin tried to hit on him and got embarrassed when he found out Upa was a boy.
114* FanservicePack: Adult Upa sports a HeroicBuild, becoming considerably jacked like his father.
115* GrewASpine: Notable in the anime during the King Piccolo Saga. He's been training to become a great warrior like Goku and his father and chastises Yajirobe for casually insulting Goku.
116* HarmfulToMinors: Poor kid had to witness his own father being murdered by Tao.
117* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He is All Grown Up]]: He's developed into quite the looker by the end of the Buu Saga, though the seeds were already sewn from his cameo in the Saiyan Saga.
118* OlderThanTheyLook: He could still pass for thirty-something by the time of his final cameo in ''GT'' where he's in his early forties.
119* TearsOfJoy: When his father was revived.
120* WalkingShirtlessScene: Upa only wears a vest throughout the series.

123[[folder:Master Mutaito]]
124!!'''Master Mutaito (武泰斗)'''
125[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mutaito_artwork.png]]
126->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/KenjiUtsumi\
127'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/PhilParsons (Creator/FUNimation dub); Roger Rhodes (Blue Water dub)\
128'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Mario Sauret\
129'''Voiced by (Brazilian Portuguese):''' Gilberto Barolli
130
131Master Mutaito was one of the greatest martial arts teachers of all time and the first known person to act as Earth's savior, despite dying hundreds of years before the series started. He was Master Roshi and Master Shen's teacher, both who went on to create their own respective schools and pass on his teachings to several generations of characters.
132----
133* ColdBloodedTorture: Was subjected to this by King Piccolo, who slowly crippled him with energy blasts to non-vital areas and then left to die. It was seeing his master defeated in such a cruel, humiliating way that turned the Crane Hermit down the path of darkness.
134* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Evil Containment Wave. It's a sealing technique so powerful that it can entrap foes several times more powerful than the user. It can even work on [[spoiler:gods as Future Zamasu learned]]. However, if the sealing process is stressful enough, it can kill or severely weaken the user. This is how he dies sealing King Piccolo.
135* DeathByOriginStory: He dies in the manga chapter/anime episode that he's introduced in.
136* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Despite being absolutely no match for King Piccolo, he manages to trap the Demon King in a rice cooker for over three hundred years. [[HeroicSacrifice It cost him his life]], but he did save the world.
137* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Despite saving the world from King Piccolo at the cost of his life, no one remembers his name, and the terror of King Piccolo faded into legend. Only his students know what happened.
138* HeroicSacrifice: He dies trapping King Piccolo with the Evil Containment Wave, stopping the Demon King's original rampage.
139* ManlyFacialHair: He has an impressive mustache and is definitely a badass since he took down King Piccolo by himself, despite being much weaker than the demon.
140* MasterApprenticeChain: He has the longest chain with many branches since he taught Master Roshi and Master Shen, both of who became respective teachers of their own styles:
141** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr > Son Goku > Son Gohan, Pan, and Uub
142** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Gohan, Sr > Son Goku > Son Gohan > Son Goten
143** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Goku > Son Gohan, Pan, and Uub
144** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Son Goku > Son Gohan > Son Goten
145** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Krillin and Yamcha
146** Mutaito > Master Roshi > Ox-King > Chi-Chi > Son Goten
147** Mutaito > Master Shen > Mercenary Tao, Tien, and Chiaotzu
148* OldMaster: He is the original old master of the series, being the one who trained Master Roshi and Master Shen, making him the root of the Turtle and Crane Schools.
149* PosthumousCharacter: He's long dead by the start of the series and isn't even mentioned until the King Piccolo Saga.
150* RetiredBadass: He's long past his prime when he fights King Piccolo. Although he lost the first fight, he creates a technique that can seal opponents much stronger than him.
151* SmallRoleBigImpact:
152** Although he died long before the series started and is only mentioned when Roshi is explaining the terror of the revived King Piccolo, his legacy is spread throughout the series through his students, the Turtle and Crane Hermit, who went on to become masters to several of the main characters, which includes Goku and all his descendants. He is also the one who stopped King Piccolo's first rampage and his first defeat to Piccolo is what sent the Crane Hermit down the path of evil.
153** The Evil Containment Wave, the technique that he invented to stop King Piccolo, is also this. In ''Super'', Future Trunks uses the Evil Containment Wave to trap [[spoiler:Future Zamasu]]. He only escaped because Goku and Roshi forgot the seal. However, [[spoiler:Zamasu]] was so shaken by the experience that he decides to [[spoiler:fuse with Goku Black]] since they couldn't afford to mess around with the mortals anymore.
154* WeakButSkilled: He is a powerful master, but he's little more than an ant compared to King Piccolo. In the anime, Piccolo easily defeats and [[ColdBloodedTorture tortures him by shooting him with energy blasts]]. However, he invents the Evil Containment Wave, a technique that can entrap foes, [[spoiler: which includes gods]], many times stronger than the user for the exchange of their lives if the sealing process is stressful enough. This is how he defeated King Piccolo. In an anime filler, he beats ''Goku'', the same person who killed King Piccolo, because Goku's technique was [[UnskilledButStrong sloppy and predictable]]. Not only that, but he does it without moving!

164
165The King of the entire Earth. He's a blue dog.
166----
167* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He appears slightly earlier in the anime sending aid to some poor farmers, which doubles as an EstablishingCharacterMoment.
168* DependingOnTheWriter: The Cell arc filler last shows him disbelieving that Mr. Satan beat Cell and knowing that it was likely the Z-Warriors. However, his brief cameo in the Buu arc (also filler) shows him happily offering his energy to the Spirit Bomb only after Satan requested it, not Goku.
169* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: He was first conceived during the original Dragon Ball run, which happened to take place in a Disneyland-esque world inhabited mostly by anthropoid animals. The latter feature was effectively dropped later in DBZ, making his reappearance in Cell saga look kinda weird in a more down-to-Earth world populated by humans.
170* TheEmperor: This guy is the official ruler of the entire Earth.
171* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The anime gives him an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance that shows him unhesitatingly giving some poor farmers a water reservoir, immediately confirming him as TheGoodKing.
172* TheGoodKing: By all indications, he's a decent ruler and is well-liked by his subjects.
173* HeroicDog: Not a fighter by any means, but he is shown to be a benevolent ruler and will do anything within his power to aid his people.
174* {{Masquerade}}: He knows of Goku and his friends' world-saving exploits, but for whatever reason decides that TheWorldIsNotReady in favor of allowing them to continue believing Mr. Satan's lies. He does express frustration that Mr. Satan steals the Z-Fighters' credit, however. Yet, his cameo in the Buu arc has him gleefully giving energy to the Spirit Bomb only when Mr. Satan demands it, not Goku.
175* NamedByTheAdaptation: The English dubs of the anime have given him the name "King Furry", but he was [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep only known by his title]] in the original manga and Japanese version.
176* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
177** He is one of few characters outside Z Fighters who remains level-headed and aware of powers at work throughout most of the entire Dragon Ball series.
178** During the King Piccolo Saga, when he gets temporarily overthrown by the titular villain, he remains defiant and completely unintimidated by him despite all abuse he receives. In his worldwide speech, he bravely urges the people of Earth to fight back against the evil regime -- knowing well that it will earn him Piccolo's wrath and not caring about the consequences.
179** Later in ''DBZ'', he is one of few people aware that Mr. Satan could not possibly defeat Cell, and people who really did it are Z Fighters. He seems to have forgotten about it by the Buu arc, however.
180* RoyalBlood: Judging by his collection of family portraits, his lineage of dogs has been ruling Earth for a long time. Considering that someone in the distant past used the Dragon Balls to wish to become a king, it's likely that this King is descended from that person. It also explains why the entire Earth is ruled by a single person.

183[[folder:Maron]]
184!!'''Maron (マロン)'''

189
190Krillin's girlfriend during the anime's Garlic Jr. Saga. Made a brief reappearance during the Androids Saga.
191----
192* AerithAndBob: Out of all the names in the series, Maron is a very common name to have.
193* BewareTheNiceOnes: Maron being a generally [[NiceGirl nice]] [[KindheartedSimpleton person]] doesn't make her any easier to deal with when she gets mad and has outbursts (usually at Krillin), or when she feels the need to tell someone off in a smug, dismissive way complete with demeaning terms, as Chi-Chi found out.
194* BrainlessBeauty: As Korin put it, she is so dumb and air-headed, even party balloons have more thoughts than her. She's also clueless enough to actually allow [[DirtyOldMan Roshi]] to take advantage of her. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in the video game ''Legacy of Goku 2'' if you scan her with the scouter: "Scouter analysis cannot detect any brain waves. Perhaps the scouter is malfunctioning?"
195* BuxomBeautyStandard: She is viewed as very attractive, and happens to have bigger bra size than Bulma, which is emphasized by the cleavage of her outfits and MaleGaze shots. She's Krillin and Roshin's LustObject due to it.
196* CanonImmigrant: A rather weird case of this. Her appearances in the Garlic Jr. and Android arcs were exclusive to the anime (in fact, the whole Garlic Jr. arc was anime-only), but while she wasn't seen after the first part of the Android Saga, she was referenced in ''Super'' when 17 mispronounced Marron's name as "Maron" when first meeting her, and [[BerserkButton 18 gets visibly angered by it]] (and [[OhCrap Krillin visibly scared in turn]]), which heavily implies that her appearances in those arcs are canon, and that Maron and 18 may have had some bad blood at some point during the 7-year TimeSkip between the Cell and Buu Sagas, so apparently she's still roaming around the ''DB'' world somewhere
197* CurbStompBattle: Maron wasn't playing poker with Korin and Yajirobe - she was ''destroying'' them to the point Yajirobe had nothing but his underwear.
198* DubNameChange: She's Marlene in the French dub, [[InconsistentDub until she's Maron again]].
199* {{Expy}}: Design-wise, she's meant to be a sexier Bulma. But intelligence wise, she's your stereotypical bimbo in contrast to DitzyGenius Bulma.
200* HiddenDepths: She's extremely dumb, flirtatious, and normally pretty nice. She's also a monster in poker, and when Maron is left with Korin and Yajirobe, she utterly cleans them out at poker (Yajirobe is down to his [[{{Fundoshi}} underwear]]). Yajirobe asks Korin why he can't use his mind-reading ability to beat Maron, and Korin explains that [[TooDumbToFool there's nothing there to read]]. However, the only slightest smarts she does show is in [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey using her charms, her looks, her feelings, or her girlfriend status]] to [[ManipulativeBastard coerce others into letting her have her way.]]
201* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Somehow worked on Yajirobe and Korin. Considering her looks even charmed Master Roshi's turtle it's not too hard to understand why.
202* InnocentlyInsensitive: She has the nerve to call Bulma and Chi-Chi old, but the way it's portrayed gives one the impression that she's not really being mean for the sake of it and is just too stupid to know that you shouldn't do that. It is also ridiculous of her to be calling Chi-Chi and Bulma old given that Chi-Chi was 25 and Bulma 29 when Maron first met them.
203* KindheartedSimpleton: Aside from being occasionally InnocentlyInsensitive and [[ManipulativeBastard emotionally manipulative]] towards Krillin, she is pretty nice most of the time.
204* MaleGaze: Played with her, since the camera leers along with the male characters... an explicitly "male gaze."
205* MeaningfulName: Maron is French for chestnut which comes from a part of Krillin's name 'kuri' also meaning chestnut.
206** If you replace the 'a' with an 'o' in "Maron", you get "Moron".
207* MsFanservice: She is quite voluptuous (with her even topping ''Bulma'' in the breast size department) and has been in a skimpy one-piece bathing suit with her large breasts on clear display. And this is the outfit that she wears for the majority of her appearances on the show.
208* MuggingTheMonster: She does this to Chi-Chi by insulting her by calling her an old lady. Cue Chi-Chi getting really upset and wanting to beat the crap out of her.
209* NiceGirl: While utterly stupid, Maron is nothing short of kind-hearted and pleasant, generally not bearing anyone any malice despite how miserable her antics might make them.
210* OnlyOneName: Like most of the characters in the series.
211* PutOnABus: One day, without warning, every single last one of her ''many'' suitors showed up and whisked her away to adventure. That was all she wrote. [[note]]Although due to her being named dropped accidentally by Android 17 mispronouncing 18's and Krillin's daughter Marron in the lead up to the Tournament of Power, which heavily implies that she bumped into Krillin again at some point off-screen and possibly angered his wife (either by flirting with Krillin in front of her, or possibly calling 18 old), which is why she's a huge BerserkButton for 18.[[/note]]
212* ReallyGetsAround: Implied, since she's very flirtatious, and the dozens upon dozens of suitors that appeared when she left the series.
213* ReusedCharacterDesign: She is basically a younger version of Bulma with bigger breasts (about 1 cup bigger), if Bulma had been born a bimbo and not as a [[DitzyGenius super-genius.]] Her design was later subject to this when repurposed for the more flat-chested Bulla/Bra in ''Dragon Ball GT.''
214* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Alternately "Mallon".
215* TooDumbToFool: In an attempt to beat Maron in poker, Korin tried to read her mind. Turns out that there's nothing to read, and Korin can't do anything to prevent Maron from utterly defeating him in poker.
216* UglyGuyHotWife: Subverted as Krillin ''wanted'' her to marry him (and she was clearly into the idea of marrying him), but he broke up with her instead out of his own feelings of inadequacy.[[note]]this may have something to do with Android 18, whom he began to crush on hard around the same time and would eventually marry with.[[/note]]

232Goku and Piccolo's driving instructors. Both only appear in a filler episode of the Trunks Saga.
233----
234* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot'', Cynthia is shown to be very nervous when teaching Piccolo and reprimands him for being reckless. Interestingly, the game still states she's a SpeedDemon.
235* AerithAndBob: Cynthia is a rather common name, Yuzukar...not so much.
236* AllThereInTheScript: Only the Westwood/Ocean dub refers to them by their names in the proper episode.
237* DubNameChange: Yuzukar is called "Yuzuka" in the Canadian dub, leaving out the "r" at the end of his proper name.
238* DrivesLikeCrazy: Cynthia quickly demonstrates this to Piccolo.
239* EyesAlwaysShut: Cynthia, except for when she is driving.
240* {{Foil}}: To each other.

254'''Voiced by (Brazilian Portuguese):''': Cassius Romero
255
256The reporter from ZTV who covers the Cell Games and is an ardent supporter of Hercule.
257----
258* ActionSurvivor: Along with Piiza, he's the only non-combatant who was present in the Cell Games. This was when he thought it would be akin to a normal tournament. Then things get insane, and for his part, he does make it out in one piece without needing to be revived by the Dragon Balls.
259* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He never appeared again after the Cell Saga.
260* CombatCommentator: The only announcer at the Cell Games, mainly due to everyone else fearing for their safety.
261* {{Jerkass}}: Very dismissive of the Z-Fighters, amongst all Goku, who he thought would get himself killed by Cell.
262* LargeHamAnnouncer: Goes along with the territory when you're hyping up the Champ.
263* NamedByTheAdaptation: Jimmy Firecracker was something Funimation came up with. Most sources (and the original Japanese) only call him the "Cell Games Announcer" or "ZTV Announcer". His cameraman was also given the name "Lionel" (or "Nigel" in the Westwood/Ocean dub) but was likewise never named in Japanese.
264* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While their actual jobs are different, for the purposes of the Cell Games, Jimmy is replacing the World Tournament Announcer. They even have the same voice actor in both ''Kai'' and the Latin American Spanish dub.

277
278Two friends of Videl at Orange Star High School.
279----
280* AdaptationalJerkass: Sharpner in the anime. He's far more antagonistic toward Gohan in the anime, although it's probably because he has more screen time than in the manga. In the manga, while he is a bit of a jerk toward Gohan initially, he actually seems pretty impressed by his strength. In the anime, however, he comes across as insincere and it felt like he just wants to humiliate Gohan (and later {{filler}} episodes confirmed it).
281-->'''Sharpner:''' HeyYou What sport are you taking?\
282'''Gohan:''' Um... I hadn't thought about...\
283'''Sharpner:''' Then go out for boxing! You're tougher than I thought! You'd do great!
284* AdvertisedExtra: They are among the main group in ''Z'''s second Japanese opening despite having very little screen time in the actual show.
285* AmazonChaser: Sharpner for Videl. He doesn't catch her, though.
286* BeautyIsBad: Sharpner.
287* TheCameo: During the fight with Kid Buu, they both make a brief appearance back at Orange Star High contributing energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb after Mr. Satan demands that the Earthlings "help him" in defeating Majin Buu.
288* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They never appeared after the Majin Buu saga, although considering they were students at the time, it is easy to guess they simply graduated and went their own ways. In the manga, they never show up again after Gohan gets assailed by Yamu and Spopovich, but the anime gives them a cameo giving energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb after Mr. Satan asks the Earthlings for help. They also appear briefly near the start of ''Wrath of the Dragon'', being their only movie appearance.
289* EveryoneCanSeeIt: In the English dub, they have both lightly teased Videl about a perceived relationship with Gohan. Possibly a case of DependingOnTheWriter in Sharper's case.
290* EveryoneHasStandards: JerkJock he may be, but Sharpner along with everyone else was appalled by Spopovich's brutal beating of Videl during their match.
291* GreenEyedMonster: Sharpner to Gohan.
292* HopelessSuitor:
293** Sharpner towards Videl. She finds him obnoxious.
294** Erasa towards Gohan. She obviously has a crush on him, spending most of their shared screentime hitting on him, but since Gohan is ObliviousToLove...
295* JerkJock: Sharpner.
296* MrFanservice: Sharpner is tall, muscular, and quite good-looking. His regular outfit looks like gym clothes that show off his physique a lot.
297* MsFanservice: Erasa is this with her massive cleavage (though nowhere near as big as Bulma's or Maron's). Erasa has even bigger cleavage in the World Tournament Arc and also shows her navel.
298* NerdsAreSexy: Erasa certainly thinks so. While Sharpner quickly dismisses Gohan as a nerd, Erasa spends most of her debut episode flirting with him.
299* PunnyNames: '''Sharpner''' (sharpener) and '''Erasa''' (eraser). Get it?
300* {{Satellite Character}}s: They only exist to be Videl's friends and that's it.
301* ShipperOnDeck: Despite her own crush on him, Erasa occasionally playfully teases Videl about her apparent relationship with Gohan. Note: this is all before Gohan and Videl do become a couple and presumably before any romantic feelings even began to emerge on either of their parts.
302* SmallNameBigEgo: Sharpner.
303* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Erasa is the GirlyGirl to Videl's Tomboy.
304* TookALevelInKindness: Even with being an AdaptationalJerkass in the anime, Sharpner joins Erasa in cheering Gohan on when they figure out, from his hair, that he's the Great Saiyaman.
305* WeirdnessCensor: Despite seeing Gohan's Super Saiyan transformation plus he and Videl flying off from the tournament grounds, both Sharpner and Erasa write it off as a trick due to Mr. Satan's misleading and seemingly make no more fuss over it. ''Wrath of the Dragon'', however, shows that they still know that Gohan is the Great Saiyaman despite his flimsy excuses to get out of class.

307
308[[folder:Miguel]]
309!!Miguel (ミゲル, ''Migeru'')
310
311The wife of Mr. Satan and the mother of Videl. She died not long after giving birth to her ([[NeverSayDie or "left", according to one English dub]]). She is never seen in the anime or manga, being only mentioned by Videl while training with Gohan during the early part of the Majin Buu Saga, and most information about her comes from ''Daizenshuu'' and ''Dragon Ball Full Color''.
312----
313* FamilyThemeNaming: "Miguel" is the Spanish and Portuguese version of "Michael", just like the Archangel. This follows the theme naming of Mr. Satan being named after Satan,[[note]]Even though Mr. Satan is just a stage name, his real name is Mark; in Japanese, the name (Maaku) becomes an anagram for Akuma (Devil/demon)[[/note]] and their daughter's name Videl being an anagram of "Devil" and having a similar phonetic cadence as "Miguel".
314* {{Foreshadowing}}: Even though she's described as a very nice woman, it is also said that she was "strong in her own way", which pretty much also describes her daughter Videl's personality in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''; while retired from fighting in favor of becoming a gentle wife and mother, Videl is shown to have retained her strong attitude, as shown during the {{Breather Episode}}s about the making of a Great Saiyaman movie.
315* GenderBlenderName: "Miguel" a pretty common male name in Spanish and Portuguese, as "Miguel" is another way of saying "Michael".
316* TheGhost: Never never seen in the anime or manga, being only mentioned by Videl.
317* TheLostLenore: For Mr. Satan; although he loves the attention he gets from other women, he never remarries.
318* NeverSayDie: She's described as having passed away in every media she's mentioned except for one English dub, where Videl instead says that she "left" when complaining about Mr. Satan ("Just because Mom left, it does not mean he can go out with all these women!").
319* NiceGirl: She is described as having been a nice, friendly, gentle, and kind woman.
320* PosthumousCharacter: By the time she's first mentioned in the series, she's long dead.
321* StrongFamilyResemblance: While no pictures of her are shown, she's described as bearing a striking resemblance to her daughter Videl. It's even said that she had the same hairstyle as Videl, only in inverse: She had short hair as a teenager before letting it grow as a singer.
322* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: She is described as having been a nice, friendly, gentle, and kind woman. One can only assume Miguel's angelic qualities were a little too on the mark...

332
333Goten's girlfriend in ''Anime/DragonBallGT''. As naive and spacey as she can be, she is a good person and has true feelings for Goten.
334----
335* BrainlessBeauty / TheDitz: A downplayed example. While she's not a total idiot, the fact that she didn't exactly know how to eat from an ice cream cone or even eat a hamburger says something...
336* BreakingOldTrends: According to Vegeta, Saiyans are generally noted to be attracted to strong-willed people, with [[BadassNormal Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Videl]] being proof of the factoid. However, Valese (for all of her screentime) is shown to be the complete antithesis to these traits, being incredibly demure. Despite this, Goten is shown to be as attracted to her as Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan are to their respective significant others.
337* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her brain doesn't appear all the way there, not knowing what ice cream and hamburgers are and using utensils to try and eat them (said ice cream was in a cone).
338* {{Expy}}: Attitude-wise, she's basically Krillin's ex-girlfriend Maron (without her infamous {{Fanservice}} design), but with slightly more of a brain.
339* FantasticallyIndifferent: She doesn't even bat an eye to Goten's ability to fly, his fighting prowess, or the fact that he can turn his hair gold. As a matter of fact, she even likens Goten to an angel.
340* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Interestingly, she's one of the series' more notable aversions to this trope. Normally, she's seen to be about as tall as her boyfriend Goten ([[DependingOnTheArtist if not an inch taller than him on some occasions]]).
341* KindheartedSimpleton: She may be a bit of a ditz, but she's very sweet and polite all the same.
342* LongHairIsFeminine: Has long brown hair that flows over her shoulders.
343* MeaningfulName: Her name might be a reference to her rich upbringing.
344* NiceGirl: Not all that bright, but she's amicable and supportive of Goten even while he's battling evil.
345* OnlyOneName: Like most of the characters in the series.
346* SatelliteLoveInterest: All things considered, Valese doesn't exactly have too much in the way of personality considering how she's usually only seen when Goten is around.
347* ThemeNaming: Valese's Japanese name, "Palace", is a pun on "goten" (御殿), a Japanese word for palace that is a homonym on her boyfriend's name.
348* UndyingLoyalty: Demonstrated with her cheering Goten on after he smacks down Pui Pui when the latter escapes from Hell.
349* UptownGirl: According to a one-off line from Goten in the Japanese version of ''GT'', Valese is implied to be this.

358
359One of the protagonists of the ''Anime/DragonBallGTAHerosLegacy'' TV special. Puck is a schoolmate of Goku Jr. who acted like a bully the first time he met Goku. However, he was intrigued by Goku's sudden show of courage as he went off in search of the Four-Star Dragon Ball. He later accompanied Goku on his quest and the pair became friends.
360----
361* AmbiguouslyBrown: Much in the same way as Uub.
362* BigBrotherMentor: He tries to act like one toward Goku Jr. once he stops picking on him.
363* TheBully: At first.
364* TheCameo: He makes an appearance in the tournament stands cheering Goku Jr. on with his grandmother during the FlashForward in the GrandFinale.
365* CharacterDevelopment: While he started out as a seemingly simple-minded bully, he later showed that he was both reliable and courageous.
366* HeelFaceTurn: Like his great grandfather before him, Goku Jr. is able to make friends with Puck fairly easily despite the fact that Puck started out as his bullying upperclassman.

375'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Ricardo Hill
376
377A Franchise/{{Frankenstein}}-like monster and one of Doctor Gero's earliest Androids, 8 was rejected by the Red Ribbon Army due to his gentle nature. Helps out a young Goku during his raid on the Red Ribbon's Muscle Tower.
378----
379* ActionSurvivor: [[spoiler:Still alive in Trunks's BadFuture in ''Dragon Ball Super''.]]
380* ActualPacifist: He tries to be this, refusing to kill even if it cost him his life, but lost it when he thought Goku was killed by General White.
381* AdaptationalBadass:
382** He is quite powerful in the series proper (stronger than Goku at the point they met), but his strength is amplified in the movie ''Path to Power''. He is able to fly, dash, and nearly kills Goku, who is also made stronger. He also fights a mecha that knocked Goku unconscious for several minutes and pushes it back.
383** Budokai Tenkaichi 3 also gave him a badass moment in a What-If story, where Android 8 fights against Android 16 who traveled to the past to kill Kid Goku, managing to put up a good fight. This is justified by the fact that Android 16 had an "anomaly" that prevented him from using his full power, which is appropriate given that neither Android 8 nor Goku at that point in the story should be able to even scratch Android 16 who was even stronger than Super Saiyan Goku before his training with Gohan.
384* AIIsACrapshoot: Inverted. He was built to be a weapon of death but immediately refused to kill people without reason, and ended up being a pacifist who betrays the Red Ribbon Army.
385* BadassPacifist: Refuses to kill Goku even when threatened with self-destruction.
386* BerserkButton: Harming anyone he cares about, just ask General White as he flies into the sunrise.
387* BewareTheNiceOnes: Don't harm anyone he knows or loves. ''Ever''. Harming Goku was how General White got [[MegatonPunch knocked out of Muscle Tower]].
388* TheCameo: He and Suno make an appearance during the Kid Buu arc recognizing Goku's voice and suppling his Spirit Bomb with their energy.
389* {{Cyborg}}: Both the [[AllThereInTheManual Daizenshuu and the Chozenshuu]] state that he is a human-based Android, like #17 and #18, rather than a fully mechanical one like #16.
390* ADayInTheLimelight: In the anime, a filler episode details his creation by Dr. Flappe who he goes to visit in order to remove the bomb from his body which is oddly never addressed again in the manga. This creates a big ContinuitySnarl when the Cell arc comes around and reveals that Eighter was created by Dr. Gero and thus was the Androids' sole creator.[[note]]Though the Daizenshuu address this somewhat rationalizing that Flappe and Gero might have been colleagues in the Android Development Program[[/note]] He gets some additional screen time in the King Piccolo arc where he goes to help Suno when she gets caught up in Piccolo's attack on Central City. There he aids his friend in giving relief to injured civilians and even strongarms a gang of smarmy pro-Piccolo bikers into helping out.
391* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the NonSerialMovie ''Path to Power'', a retelling of the Red Ribbon Army Saga, 8 dies holding off Staff Officer Black's mecha. Goku uses the Dragon Balls to revive him right at the end.]]
392* {{Expy}}: Of Frankenstein's Monster.
393* GentleGiant: Big, burly, scary-looking, and very nice and sensitive.
394* GrewASpine: He stands up to some punks who claim to support King Piccolo when they refuse to help him and Suno move injured people to the hospital. He even swats a knife out of the gang leader's hands to prove his strength.
395* HappilyAdopted: By the mayor's family. They took him in as their son.
396* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:As seen in the DeathByAdaptation entry above, he dies holding off Staff Officer Black's giant mecha in order to protect Goku.]]
397* InSeriesNickname: In Japanese, Goku has trouble remembering his full name, so Goku calls him Hacchan (Eight-Man in the US manga, Eighter in the English dub, and Octavio in the Latin American Spanish dub). He likes the nickname so much that he takes it as his official name.
398* TheLoad: Sort-of. He spent more time being in distress and had to be saved by Goku a number a time. Then he got [[BerserkButton mad]].
399* MegatonPunch: What he did to General White. He punched him so hard that he flew through a brick wall and over the horizon.
400* PlatonicLifePartners: With Suno, the young girl in Jingle Village in Red Ribbon Army Saga, since he is allowed to live in her family's house after rescuing the village elder. They're shown still together after Suno [[ShesAllGrownUp is all grown up]] [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100205092217/dragonball/images/f/fe/SunoKidBuuSaga.png at the end of Z]] and ''[[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131214202556/dragonball/images/3/32/Suno%268%28GT%29.png GT]]''.
401* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: With Goku... of sorts. Android 8 is the Sensitive Guy who hates fighting or hurting people, while Goku, even when he's just a kid when they met, is a BloodKnight who doesn't mind killing people if it means protecting others.
402* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: When asked to stay in the village after finding out he hid the Dragon Ball from the Red Ribbon Army to keep the people in the village from being executed, he hesitated by saying that he wasn't human.

413-->''"It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are ones who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being."''
414
415An incomplete android built by Dr. Gero. He was released prematurely by 17 and 18 and brought along to search for Goku. Unlike his companions, he is purely mechanical, not a cyborg. While very strong, he is more interested in nature than fighting, becoming an ally to the Z-Fighters after 17 and 18 are absorbed by Cell. Sadly he ends up being killed by Cell, though it's his death that sparks [[TookALevelinBadass Gohan's transformation into a Super Saiyan 2.]]
416----
417* ActionBomb: He was designed specifically for a suicide mission against Gero's most hated enemy, Goku. But as the mad doctor continued to model the killer android [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes after his late-son]], he could no longer go through with it. He sealed up 16 in his pod indefinitely and gave him a gentle programming to avoid combat in the unlikely event he should ever be activated.
418* AffablyEvil: Aside from his programmed objective to kill Goku, #16 isn’t really evil. He adores nature and the planet Earth; even acting as #17 and #18’s moral compass to keep them on track for their mission. This is [[JustifiedTrope intentional]] as Dr. Gero programmed him with a gentle, pacifistic personality due to him, essentially being the robot duplicate of his dead son.
419* AIIsACrapshoot: Dr. Gero says he can't control him, fears he will be killed upon 16's activation and even warns the other androids that 16 could very well destroy the world on a whim, but otherwise averted with Android 16, who plainly stated that his goal was to kill Son Goku, as per his programming, and he tagged along with the other androids because he believed that they had the same goal as him. This also implies the later confirmed truth that 16 is the only one of the trio who is not fully sentient since Bulma had to remove Dr. Gero's programming from 16 when she repaired him — so that he wouldn't want to fight Goku anymore — while Android 18 did not get the same treatment. In fact, Android 18 seemed to have absolutely no interest in killing Goku whatsoever from the start, and Android 17 appeared to be hunting Goku out of his own free will, seeing it as some kind of "game." [[spoiler:Later subverted when it's revealed Dr. Gero based Android 16 off of his own son and implemented Android 16 with the same personality as his dead son. This could mean the whole thing was just a way for Gero to convince the other Androids not to activate 16 so harm doesn't come to him.]]
420* AnalogyBackfire: After ripping Cell's tail off, he compares Cell to a bee that has lost its stinger. Cell points out that bees die once they lose their stingers, whereas ''he'' can just [[GoodThingYouCanHeal regenerate his tail]]…and proceeds to do so.
421* ArchEnemy: Quite clearly feels this way towards Goku. Even after his HeelFaceTurn. Since Cell has some of Goku's genetic material, 16 feels the same way toward him with greater justification.
422* ArmCannon: '''[[WaveMotionGun HELL'S FLASH]]!'''
423* AstroClone: [[spoiler:16 is a heroic robot modeled after an evil scientist's dead son]].
424* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Android 16 seems to have a knack for analyzing the power and abilities of others, immediately sensing both Piccolo's fusion with Kami and Vegeta's ascension. In a show where everyone constantly underestimates their opponents is PlayedForDrama, this sticks out.
425* BadassPacifist: He's very friendly and gentle to animals. However, he also surpasses 17 and 18 in power by a large margin and was the only one able to fight a 600,000 human-powered Cell to a standstill. [[spoiler:''[=FighterZ=]'' implies this is a trait inherited from the Gero the Younger.]]
426* BerserkButton: 16 considers all life precious, so seeing a creature like Cell who takes delight in killing is enough to make him take action.
427* BewareTheNiceOnes: As the overconfident Cell finds out the ''hard and painful'' way.
428* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Redhead to Android 17's Brunette and Android 18's Blonde.
429* TheBigGuy: Serves as this post-HeelFaceTurn before his death.
430* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: After Piccolo goes down, he becomes the only hope left in stopping Cell from becoming complete. He gives Cell one of his toughest fights and would have stopped Cell cold after ripping off his tail if he couldn't regenerate. Despite his valiant efforts, 17 is absorbed by Cell who easily beats him in his Semi-Perfect form.
431* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's one of the bigger characters in the series, is nearly emotionless, lives to kill Goku (at first), and is the strongest of all the Androids outside of Cell. One of the first signs that 16 is more than just a killing machine, however, is that he loves to play with animals. He goes against Cell because he is an enemy to all living things.
432* CessationOfExistence: Due to him being a fully robotic being, he has no soul to revive and never returns after Cell kills him.
433* CharacterExaggeration: His FriendToAllLivingThings trait is expanded in the anime, whereas in the manga it is more of an informed attribute. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools One of the best cases of this trope]], as it makes his death by the hand (or rather, foot) of Cell more powerful.
434* CynicismCatalyst: His brutal death at the hands of Cell was what triggers Gohan to go [=SSJ2=] and fly into an UnstoppableRage against Cell.
435* ADayInTheLimelight: ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'' expands upon his character and his backstory ''enormously''. It explains "who" he is, where he really comes from, and his relation to the rest of the Androids, and why he's completely synthetic when many of the other Androids are more like cyberized humans. [[spoiler:We even get to find out who the parents of the man he was based on are - no less than Dr. Gero himself and Android 21.]]
436* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[DeathIsCheap Unlike]] the others killed by Cell, for 16 it’s ambiguous whether he was or was not revived by the Dragon Balls. Regardless, 16 probably thought this would be the case. His death is arguably the most awesome in the series, as he sacrifices his existence to give Gohan the will to fight, and dies with a smile on his face. [[spoiler:Being wholly synthetic, though, it ''is'' possible to outright rebuild him if you know how, but even with the memories of the original he is not the same 16. Android 21 builds a new 16 in ''[=FighterZ=]''. The monologue of the second 16 shows that he believes the original 16 is gone forever.]]
437* EvilCounterpart: To Android 8, initially. They both love nature and despise those who disregard life. The only real difference between the two is that Android 8 became friends with Goku, while 16 just barely tolerates his existence. Justified since 16 was specifically programmed to kill Goku.
438* {{Expy}}: To Android 8 from earlier in the series. Both androids are fully mechanical creations that are incredibly strong but considered failures due to their well-meaning, caring personalities. 16 is even a multiple of 8.
439* EvilRedhead: What 16 was meant to be. [[spoiler:Sort of. Gero made him a GentleGiant, aside from the "kill Goku" thing.]]
440* ForgottenFallenFriend: His HeroicSacrifice catalyzed Gohan turning Super Saiyan 2, and Android 16 is never mentioned again after the Cell Saga. Since he didn't fall into the "lives killed by Cell" category that #17 technically did, he seemingly didn't get to come back to life. Some of the games do remember him, ''most'' notably ''[=FighterZ=]'', but he still hasn't been memorialized in the TV series.
441* FriendToAllLivingThings: As Creator/TeamFourStar frequently jokes, he likes the birds. It's also why he steps in to fight and kill Imperfect Cell after Piccolo is beaten, [[NeutralNoLonger after several chapters of refusing to fight anyone but Goku]]: to protect all life from the threat Cell poses.
442* GameBreakingInjury: Once Semi-Perfect Cell makes a hole in his head, 16's power decreases immensely, struggling to move quickly without assistance or strain, while it doesn't mean much due to the power differences by that point, it does ultimately cause him and 18 to slow down enough to the point Cell can catch up even after Tien's prolonged assault on him.
443* GentleGiant: Despite his programming to hunt and kill Goku, 16 is a gentle, caring individual that loves nature and treats others with kindness. This is because Gero [[spoiler:intended him to be a ReplacementGoldfish for his deceased son]], and knew that [[BloodKnight making him love to fight]] would put him in harm's way. That said, like all infinite energy furnace models, 16 was beyond Gero's control and he feared that 16 would try to kill him if activated.
444* {{Homage}}:
445** A machine man defends two family members from a newer model in his line acting on the behalf of an enemy said family destroyed both in the present and in the future. [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Hmm...]]
446** So, a genius in technology creates a ReplacementGoldfish android identical to his late son killed in an accident, and the android shows to be a FriendToAllLivingThings. That's the Manga/AstroBoy origin story, with Gero as Doctor Tenma.
447* HeroicRROD: Subverted. Although he fully intended to self-destruct and take Cell with him, he ended up unable to go through with it because Bulma removed his self-destruct device out of fear that he'd use it against Goku when she discovered it while repairing 16.
448* InformedAttribute: This may shock you, but Android 16's love for the birds and animals is never shown in the manga, only stated. The ''Z'' anime expands on this by always showing him with a bird alongside him (or many).
449** Gero claims that if 16 is freed he'll destroy the world, but that obviously didn't happen, and he's the nicest of all androids who would never consider doing this to boot. However it's worth noting that when Gero claims he's such a dangerous failure, 18 wonders why he didn't just destroy him like Gero did to previous androids, and Gero briefly hesitates before saying he was going to fix 16 later, perhaps [[HesitationEqualsDishonesty his hesitation was a sign he was lying]] about the whole thing, and maybe Toriyama had it planned from the start for 16 to have been modeled after Gero's own son, thus he lied about everything to avoid the risk of seeing an android who looks like his own son dying.
450* {{Irony}}: Averted twice. Gero designed him to kill the very warrior who ended his real human counterpart's life, Goku, but the doctor couldn't bring himself to witness [[ReplacementGoldfish what was now his son]], die a second time. This happens again when 16 intends to self-destruct [[TakingYouWithMe next to Cell]], remarking the irony that the culmination of Gero's mad work would be undone by another one of his own creations, only to fail when he didn't realize Bulma had already removed his bomb.
451* ItHasBeenAnHonor:
452** While marching off from Android 18 to fight Cell (the first time), he tells her he enjoyed the time he spent with her and 17 and thinks they're cool.
453** In the Japanese version and the manga, he commends them for not harming people or animals pointlessly.
454* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: He tells 18 to leave him behind during Cell's pursuit of her on the basis he's only going hinder things in his current state, which is true, as she had been lugging him around ever since he was injured. Unfortunately, she refuses to until it's far too late to escape anymore, and is promptly absorbed.
455* JerkassToOne: While a NonMaliciousMonster and NiceGuy both before and after his HeelFaceTurn, he remains cold and distant toward Goku, having been created specifically to kill him. During the Cell Games, when Goku approaches him and wishes him luck, 16 responds to his kindness with an ImpliedDeathThreat, reminding him of his intended purpose.
456-->'''Android 16''': I was created for the sole purpose of killing you, Goku. ''Do '''not''' forget that''.
457* KilledOffForReal: 16's death is all the more jarring because it seemingly sticks in a series where DeathIsCheap. [[SeriesContinuityError At the same time, however]], it creates a PlotHole, as in the Majin Buu saga, Android 8 (and Arale, [[GagSeries possibly]]) are revived just fine by the Dragon Balls. [[spoiler:Depending on the canonicity of ''[=FighterZ=]'', the game implies that even if a new 16 was built and given the memories of the original, he still lacks the soul of the old 16. Assuming that 16 wasn’t revived by the Dragon Balls, [[TearJerker then the original is really gone forever]].]]
458* LickedByTheDog: While he's being repaired, Dr. Briefs' cat climbs onto his hand and licks his injured head, solidifying his role as a FriendToAllLivingThings.
459* LogicalWeakness: 16's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. His fully mechanical nature gives him an edge against (Imperfect) Cell that no other member of the cast has since Cell cannot [[CuttingTheKnot just absorb him for an easy win]]. Unfortunately, once Cell evolves into a higher form, 16 can no longer match him in combat, and since he's a robot, [[CantCatchUp he can't train or inspire himself to grow stronger like the rest of the cast]] - he would need to be ''remodeled'', and with [[spoiler:Gero out of the picture and 21 inactive at the time]], there's nobody to do it and even if there was, time would not be on their side.
460** The other issue is that he has no biological parts, meaning that he can't use ki attacks. In addition, you can't put energy cannons in his hands, since, you know, they have to act like human hands. The only way he can use ki blasts is to remove his arms and fire them like that. Plus, while he is seen using his arms in a rocket punch, the arms don't seem to have an auto-homing mechanism so he has to physically grab them and stick them back on. This means that while his ki blast is incredibly powerful, coming from his infinite energy generator, he hardly ever uses it because he could literally lose his hands if he gets countered and drops them.
461* MartialPacifist: He only wants to kill Goku because Dr. Gero programmed him to do that. When asked, he outright ''refuses'' to fight anyone else, and considers all life to be precious. He makes an exception and decides to kill Cell because he knows that Cell cannot be reasoned with and will destroy all life on Earth just because he can.
462* MonsterProgenitor: An unwilling example in ''Videogame/DragonBallOnline''. Android 16 has been copied by Red Pants Army, who went on to mass-produce him. To put it in perspective, the average Time Patrol member only has a power level of 100,000. It's one of the main reasons the main setting counts as a BadPresent.
463* NatureLovingRobot: The only of 3 Androids that result to be a complete robot and not part-human as 17 and 18. Despite his primary mission (find and kill Goku), he's a GentleGiant who has a love for animals, usually seen with birds around him and holding one in his hands.
464* NeutralNoLonger: He starts as a GentleGiant who refuses to fight anybody except Goku ([[NonMaliciousMonster because of his programming]]) and instead prefers to interact with the wildlife. When he realizes how evil Cell is and the threat he poses to the entire world, he spurs into action and, as an inspiration to {{Badass Pacifist}}s everywhere, gives Cell the toughest fight he had encountered so far, coming close to killing him outright.
465* NiceGuy: [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth Too Nice]], although AffablyEvil, as he warns Goku to never forget that he was programmed to kill him. GoodIsNotNice also applies, in that if he thinks you're pointlessly evil, he will try to kill you without a warning.
466* NonMaliciousMonster: He's a NatureLover and considers all life to be precious. The only reason he wants to kill Goku is that Dr. Gero programmed him to do so.
467* PoorCommunicationKills: If 16 had at any point told Bulma that he would use the failsafe plan of using his own bomb on Cell instead of Goku, it's more than likely Bulma either would have reinstalled the explosive or at least informed him of its removal. Unfortunately, this not being addressed by either ends up with 16 being destroyed.
468* PunchClockVillain: Urge to kill Goku aside, 16 has no villainous traits to speak of. He never fights any of the heroes even when they're ganging up on his friends (then again, they don't need his help), and turns against Cell despite being a fellow creation of Dr. Gero.
469* RedheadInGreen: He has a red mohawk and wears a green vest, boots, and bracers.
470* ReplacementGoldfish: Like Manga/AstroBoy, 16 was [[spoiler:based on Dr. Gero's deceased son]], and his gentle personality is a result of Gero not wanting him to be destroyed in battle if at all possible. It might also be, like the original Anime/AstroBoy, why Gero ultimately deemed him a failure and never activated him: a copy wasn't enough to bring back his son.
471** Depending on if Fighterz is canon, [[spoiler:he was also intended to be this for Android 21. Unfortunately, he died and 21 built a ReplacementGoldfish ''for Android 16'', but she knows he will never be either her human son or the original 16 but loves him as her child anyway.]]
472* RoboSpeak: In the original US Dub only, though even there he falls out of it as he learns and grows.
473* RocketPunch: One of his powers, being fully mechanical.
474* TheQuietOne: He rarely speaks for most of his appearances, unless he has something of substance to say.
475* SacrificialLion: His final words and death are what triggered Gohan to become a Super Saiyan 2.
476* TheStoic: He rarely shows any emotion, at least at first.
477* SuicideAttack: His mission is to destroy Goku. Not willing to take any chances, Gero built in a bomb to make sure 16's mission would be successful, regardless of how strong Goku was. He ultimately tries to use it against Cell, only to find out Bulma removed it beforehand, just in case.
478* SuperPrototype: He's an earlier model than #17 and #18 (and #19 & #20/[[spoiler:Dr. Gero]], for that matter) and seems to be around the same series as both of the former two, but is significantly more powerful than all of them. Indeed, outside of Cell (whose full power could only be achieved by absorbing people, and ultimately #17 and #18), #16 is the strongest android that Dr. Gero had ever created. [[spoiler:His "mother" might be able to outdo him, but she's a [[{{Magitek}} much]] [[EldritchAbomination weirder]] [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity example]].]]
479* TakingYouWithMe: Subverted. 16 carried a self-destruct device with a magnitude higher than a nuclear bomb that was presumably implanted by Gero in an attempt to kill Goku. 16 ultimately attempts to use this on Cell, but he ended up unable to go through with it because Bulma removed the device when doing repair work on 16.
480** This gets even worse because Cell states that the bomb would probably have been incapable of killing him anyway. Considering [[EarthShatteringKaboom what Cell survives later]] (while in his far less durable second form to boot), it would appear he was correct though Cell arrogantly considers himself an InvincibleVillain that can NoSell any attack the Z-Fighters throw at him.
481** However it's worth noting Android 17, 18, and Cell, do not share the [[ActionBomb same explosive mechanism]] as 16 does, and Cell's very own planet-destroying bomb is set up in such a manner so as to preserve ''one singular cell'' (from which he can regenerate obviously). 16 was designed for a '''''singular target''''' suicide mission, to atomize anyone caught within close proximity of the blast. Since never given the opportunity to use it, we'll never know how effective it would've been.
482* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Before he starts working with Goku to kill Cell, he brushes off Goku's offer of friendship and gives him a DeathGlare and an ImpliedDeathThreat. Justified, because Dr. Gero programmed him to kill Goku.
483* TerminatorImpersonator: A stoic, square-jawed, towering killer robot who develops respect for life and ends up sacrificing himself to protect it.
484* TokenGoodTeammate: Unlike 17 and 18, who enjoyed causing chaos and mischief, 16 doesn't actually do anything evil. He's programmed to kill Goku, but even that he's more than willing to throw aside for the sake of stopping Cell.
485* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: If he didn't have a soul when Gero built him, he would most likely have earned one by the time Cell brutally murdered him.
486* TragicHero: He was built for killing, but he treasures life and would have likely had no ill will towards Goku if it wasn't part of his programming. He manages to override his mission parameters to fight against his own kind, only to find out too late that he's unable to kill him and is destroyed for his efforts. Being a machine, he doesn't get to go to the afterlife, resurrect or reincarnate.
487* TrueCompanions: Despite their time with him being relatively short, 17 and 18 get this with 16, spending their time together getting along and the three are often portrayed as watching out for one another. [[spoiler:The second 16 gets this again in ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'', but is killed in the halfway mark of the story.]]
488* VoodooShark: 16's lack of a revival is firmly this, as even the Buu Saga it is shown that Android 8 has been brought back from death, meaning that 16 should've been revived as well when Shenron revived Cell's victims. The best explanation fans have come up with was that he simply chose to stay dead.
489* WaveMotionGun: His Hell's Flash attack, in which he has to detach his forearms to charge up and fire.
490* TheWorfEffect: He gets hit with this once Cell becomes Semi-Perfect. He was Cell's equal beforehand, able to hold his own even after Cell had absorbed 600,000 humans and effortlessly beat down Piccolo. The first sign of how much stronger Cell has become? He easily outruns 16 and blasts a hole in his head, almost killing him.
491* WorldsStrongestMan: Although it wasn't known almost until this trope no longer applied, he was this from when he was activated until 17 was absorbed by Cell. It's very fortunate for the heroes that Gero programmed him to be gentle, as had he been more violent, nothing could've stopped him at the time.

500'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Ángela Villanueva ('''current voice'''), Magda Giner (''Kai'')
501
502A small, old witch that can divine things with the crystal ball she floats around on. The older sister of Master Roshi, she lives in a pyramid, providing divinations to those who can match one of two requirements--pay an outrageous fee, or defeat her chosen champions in combat. She also cut a deal with King Yemma that lets her provide a dead warrior a 24-hour return to the living, making for some joyous reunions. After the Red Ribbon Army Saga, Goku's friends go to her for help finding the last Dragon Ball, and she periodically pops up to help for free, as the Z-warriors are now more powerful than any warrior she can employ. Also one of notably few characters to never die in the series.
503
504Baba disappears in the ''Z'' portion of the manga (though she still appears occasionally in anime {{filler}}), until the Buu Saga, where she first brings Goku back to life for one day to compete in the World Martial Arts Tournament and later does the same for Vegeta after his HeroicSacrifice.
505----
506* ActionSurvivor: One of only a few characters to survive the entire series without having to be revived.
507* AloofBigSister: To Master Roshi.
508* BoringButPractical: Baba has no offensive magic, nor is it very flashy like the type Piccolo and Supreme Kai use. Her magic allows her to see into the future, observe events from all over the world (even from Otherworld), and return people from the dead for one whole day. She can also travel between earth and the afterlife at will herself, which is the main reason she's one of the few named characters in the series to never die.
509* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of the finale of ''Dragon Ball'' (the first anime), she looks into her ball to see what the future of Goku holds, only to block the view and [[SecretMessageWink wink]] at the camera as the narrator assures the audience that the next story will begin in five years.
510* TheCameo: Her only appearance prior to the Buu arc in ''Z'' is a single panel in the Saiyan arc where she is unable to predict a definite outcome of the upcoming battle against Nappa and Vegeta. [[AdaptationExpansion The anime]] has her return a good way into the fight so that the non-combatants at Kame House can view the action via her crystal ball...until the energy feedback from the Spirit Bomb causes it to shatter.
511* CoolOldLady: Once she gets much nicer and overcomes her desire for money or joy of watching fights.
512* CrystalBall: Though she doesn't use it to read the future as much as to actually be on eye level with the other characters.
513* ADogNamedDog: For Japanese and most Slav viewers, the old woman[[note]]pronounced "baba" in all of these languages; it's possible that "baba" in Japanese is a Russian loanword[[/note]] is literally named "Baba". So, a ''baba'' named "Baba".
514* DubNameChange: She has no name in Japanese, just a title that translates as something similar to "Fortunetelling Crone". The Funimation dub translates part of her title but not all of it, making her "Fortuneteller Baba", and has other characters constantly just call her "Baba", giving the impression that "Baba" is her actual name.
515* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible sibling to Roshi's foolish, Baba is a capable and serious fortune teller that is well known for her magical abilities and essentially has her own business. Roshi is a very perverted martial arts hermit that is more invested in ogling ladies than he is actually teaching.
516* GodzillaThreshold:
517** She agrees to take the extremely evil Vegeta to Earth from the Afterlife during the Buu arc, who just got his body back from King Yemma after he blew himself up because they were out of options for anyone else in existence who could even have the slightest chance at stopping Super Buu. Vegeta himself said they were wasting their time.
518** In ''Super's'' Universe Survival Saga, [[spoiler:she goes along with Goku's suggestion to revive Frieza for one day in order to participate in the Tournament of Power. While she's not happy to do so, given what a monster Frieza is, Baba goes along with it since she knows the fate of Universe 7 is at stake.]]
519* {{Immortality}}: Like her brother, she has drunk the Water of Life and is over 300 years old. She's still around in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'', over two centuries after the end of the manga.
520* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Unlike her brother. The only reason people don't have to look way down when she's nearby is that she's sitting on her floating CrystalBall.
521* MundaneUtility: Most of her magic falls under this or BoringButPractical. Aside from one instance in the Saiyan Saga, where she can't tell the outcome of Vegeta and Nappa's invasion, there isn't ever a concrete set of rules established as to what prohibits her future gaze or what enables it.
522* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: In the Japanese version. Like her brother, Muten Roshi, Uranai Baba is a title ("Fortunetelling Crone"), not a name. The US manga always refers to her as "All-Seeing Crone" to make this more blatant.
523* PetTheDog:
524** Her first act of true kindness was bringing back Grandpa Gohan for a day to fight/meet Goku, as she shows no surprise that the two know each other. Her second was telling Goku where his power pole was free of charge.
525** In anime filler, she allows those not fighting (Chi-chi, Ox-king, Bulma, etc.) the ability to see the fight that's going on when it otherwise can't be viewed such as the clashes against the Saiyans and Cell.
526* ProperlyParanoid: She's shown to scram to Other World in times of crisis like the Buu Saga just in case things go wrong (or had possibly foreseen things going wrong thanks to her crystal ball), which is proven the correct choice when Buu and later Frieza, blow up the Earth.
527* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Baba can come off as rude at times.
528* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Her unbroken survival record across the series is due to her ability to warp to the afterlife at will whenever things get dicey on Earth.
529* SmallRoleBigImpact: She has a minuscule role in ''Z'' and ''Super'', but her ability to bring people back from the dead for a day without the use of Dragon Balls has proved instrumental and irreplaceable in times of need.
530* TokenWizard: The first legitimate magic-user in the series, while firmly a NonActionGuy, she has some abilities that are very practical, most commonly bringing someone back from the dead for one whole day.

533[[folder:Fangs the Vampire]]
534!!'''Fangs the Vampire (ドラキュラマン, ''Dorakyuraman'', "Dracula Man")'''
535[[quoteright:184:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hombre_dracula.png]]
536->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/KojiTotani (''DB''), Takahiro Fujimoto (''Origins 2'')\
537'''Voiced by (English):''' Carlos Moreno (''DB''), Creator/RobertMcCollum (''Origins 2'') (Creator/FUNimation dub); Ryan Luhning (Blue Water dub)\
538'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Ernesto Lezama
539
540The first of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba, who along with his sharp fangs and ability to turn into a vampire bat, is trained in the art of UsefulNotes/MuayThai kickboxing. In his bat form, he moves faster than his opponent Krillin, can see. He then quickly puts Krillin in a sleeper hold and bites his head sucking out the monk's blood. Kicking the disoriented Krillin out of the ring, he then faces Puar and Upa. What looks like an easy victory leads Fangs to defeat as Puar's superior shapeshifting abilities and Upa using garlic and his body shaped like a cross led to him being knocked into the water outside the ring.
541----
542* AnimeHair: Has long, spiked-up brown hair.
543* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: His voice in the American dubs is something else. It's up there with Babidi's in terms of shrillness.
544* DaywalkingVampire: Fights against three people in broad daylight without any apparent ill effects.
545* DubNameChange: From Dracula Man in Japan to Fangs the Vampire in America.
546* EvilLaugh: We don't know if he's a villain off the clock, but with his creepy shrill and laughter, one could be forgiven for thinking so.
547* EvilRedhead: His hair is dark auburn in the anime and is one of the nastier members of Baba's entourage.
548* EvilSoundsRaspy: His voice in Japanese is raspy and cold-blooded as opposed to [[CreepyHighPitchedVoice the English dub.]]
549* FragileSpeedster: He's quick in his human form and even faster as a bat, that's how he caught Krillin off guard. He still lost to a shapeshifting cat and a little boy, neither of whom was actually a fighter.
550* GratuitousEnglish: His MomentOfSilence upon seeing Upa's cross stance shows the phrases, spelled out in perfect English, "Jesus Christ!" and "Oh My God!"
551* HorrorHunger: Follows the tradition of vampires being bloodsuckers. He even compares blood to pizza sauce. Ick.
552* OurVampiresAreDifferent: This one apparently can kickbox. Biting his victims doesn't seem to involve vampirism, either.
553* PsychoForHire: His constant cackling, SlasherSmile, and thirst for blood give this impression.
554* ReusedCharacterDesign: A member of the Toad Warriors, a biker gang that harasses Android #16, #17, and #18, resembles Fangs with less prominent teeth. Later when Cell gets harassed by a bus full of angry football players, one of the team resembles Fangs but is considerably taller and buff.
555* SlasherSmile: With large fangs like his and hungering for blood, it makes him look ''just'' a smidgen of creepy.
556* TheUnintelligible: His shrill in the English dub can make his dialogue difficult to understand, though nobody in-universe seems to have any problem hearing him.
557* VampireBitesSuck: When he jumps onto Krillin he sucks the blood out through his bald head. Krillin compares him to a vacuum cleaner in the dub.
558* WalkingShirtlessScene: Wears boxer shorts, boxing gloves, and taped-up feet.
559* WeaksauceWeakness: Upa's ImprovisedCross stance and garlic breath.

563!!'''See-Through the Invisible Man (スケさん, ''Suke-San'')'''
564[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/el_hombre_invisible.png]]
565->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Hiroshi Ōtake\
566'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/ChuckHuber (Creator/FUNimation dub); Clark Robertson (Blue Water dub)\
567'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Ricardo Hill
568
569The second of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba, who relies heavily on his invisible body in combat. He faces Yamcha and even though the former bandit gets a couple of good hits in, See-Through has a clear advantage (with Baba singing to prevent Yamcha from hearing his movements and instructing her fighter to not talk). It isn't until Goku finds Bulma and Master Roshi that Krillin uses Roshi's perverted nature to nosebleed over the invisible man does See-Through loses his advantage. After Yamcha nails the now visible invisible man with the Wolf Fang Fist, he gives up.
570----
571* AmbiguousSituation: Whether or not he's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an actual invisible human]] or a ghost is never made clear. Given that Baba already has a ghost usher that is plainly visible, it's difficult to say.
572* {{Bowdlerise}}: Instead of Roshi's nose blood, in the American broadcast, Krillin instead dumps a can of tomato soup on See-Through.
573* CombatPragmatist: Because he cannot be seen, See-Through has an unfair advantage making it easier to attack his opponents. When Yamcha starts using his hearing to track him, Baba starts singing to cover up the sound of his footsteps.
574* DubNameChange: From Suke-san in Japan to See-Through the Invisible Man in America.
575* {{Invisibility}}: See-Through's bread and butter.
576* ReusedCharacterDesign: One member of the Toad Warriors, a gang that harasses Android #16, #17, and #18, resembles See-Through if he were a human wearing a red ski mask instead of being covered in blood.
577* SeeTheInvisible: With Krillin's quick thinking, the invisible man is covered in Roshi's nose blood ([[{{Bowdlerise}} or tomato soup]] if you prefer). As he is exposed there is nothing stopping Yamcha from defeating him now so [[KnowWhenToFoldEm he waves the white flag]].
578* TokenGoodTeammate: Besides the [[OldMaster wise]] and [[NiceGuy benevolent]] [[TokenHuman Son Gohan]], his comrades include [[HorrorHunger bloodthirsty]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Fangs the Vampire]], [[{{Jerkass}} arrogant]] and [[PsychoForHire sadistic]] [[{{Mummy}} Bandages the Mummy]] (who the dub implies is a RetiredMonster), plus [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill ruthless]] and [[HellSeeker straight-out-of-Hell]] [[BigRedDevil Spike the Devilman]]. Besides taking advantage of his invisibility, See-Through doesn't really display any really negative qualities and is the only one besides Gohan to concede once his opponent gains an advantage. He also serves food to Goku when Baba tries to recruit him as another of her fighters.
579* WeakButSkilled: Despite being after Fangs, See-Through is probably the physically weakest fighter in the group and only has an edge because he's invisible.

583!!'''Bandages the Mummy (ミイラくん, ''Mīra-Kun'')'''
584[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/la_momia.png]]
585->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/ShozoIizuka (''DB''), Daisuke Matsubara (''Revenge of King Piccolo'' and ''Kai'')\
586'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/SonnyStrait (Creator/FUNimation dub); Richard Newman (''Z'' ep. 285), Gerald Matthews (''DB'') (Ocean/Blue Water dub)\
587'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/CarlosSegundo
588
589The third of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba. His LightningBruiser fighting style and ability to use his bandages to quickly wrap up his opponents made him undefeated in combat. After befuddling Yamcha with his speed and abilities, he quickly defeats him and faces Goku next. Despite the Mummy Man's best efforts, he is felled but one hard punch to the stomach by Goku.
590----
591* AdaptationalBadass: He only attempts to hit Goku once in the manga before he gets K.O.d. The anime expands the fight so that he manages to bind Goku in his cloth rolls and almost swings him into the acid pot. Goku manages to break out and knock out the mummy the same as in the manga.
592* TheCameo: Appears in the Kid Buu Saga with Spike the Devilman offering their energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb when Mr. Satan calls out the Earthlings for not helping.
593* ClothFu: His use of his bandages resembles this, including CombatTentacles and wrapping his opponents in them.
594* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: While other fighters before the Dragon Team defeated Fangs and See-Through, Bandages was undefeated in these challenges. It's not until he faces Goku that his streak is ended.
595* DubNameChange: From Mira-kun in Japan to Bandages the Mummy in America.
596* EvilSoundsDeep: Not necessarily a traditional villain, at least in the current story, but he does have the lowest set of pipes out of Baba's fighters and is one of the crueler ones.
597* ItOnlyWorksOnce: When Goku breaks free from his wrappings, he tries it again only for it to be dodged and is defeated soundly.
598* {{Jerkass}}: He's not a pleasant mummy and, in the anime, he can't go five minutes without boasting about himself or demeaning his opponent. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold That said,]] given that he was revived by Dende's wish to restore Earth's population except for the truly evil ones, he mustn't be all that bad.
599* LightningBruiser: Much to Yamcha's surprise, Bandages is not a slow yet powerful fighter due to his size, no, he's a fast and powerful fighter ''despite'' his size.
600* {{Mummy}}: A big and powerful version of one. One of the ''Daizenshuu'' confirms he's the real deal, having been born eight centuries prior to the start of the manga. The anime has Master Roshi confirm it as well with some DubText implying that he was a pharaoh to boot.
601* OhCrap: His smug aura vanishes as soon as he notices Goku not having any openings in his guard. He is quickly dispatched not long after.
602* PetTheDog: He and Spike, in the anime, contribute energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb, though this was after [[FakeUltimateHero Mr. Satan]] requested it.
603* ThePigPen: ''Daizenshuu'' 7 mentions that he detests bathing. He's still far more appealing than the likes of Bacterian.
604* PsychoForHire: Along with Fangs, Bandages he is easily one of the more depraved fighters of Baba's, delighting in beating on Yamcha during their fight and almost sending him into a pool of acid soup in the anime. DubText also implies that he has [[RetiredMonster a history]] in his life as a pharaoh.
605* RealMenWearPink: He likes to sew in his spare time according to ''Daizenshuu'' 7.
606* RetiredMonster: Implied to be one in the English anime where he claims to have ruled the world back when the pyramids were constructed and that he came to serve Baba only after he became a mummy.
607* SlasherSmile: His default expression is either this or PsychoticSmirk depending on the shot. [[OhCrap It dissipates]] during his fight with Goku.
608* TheWorfEffect: Not only did he enforce Yamcha's Worf Effect as he beat him in short order, but Bandages also suffered this as well when Goku knocked him out with one punch.

614->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Michihiro Ikemizu\
615'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/JustinCook (Most media), Christopher Sabat (''Z'' ep. 285) (Creator/FUNimation dub); Matt Smith (''Z'' ep. 285), Randall Wiebe (''DB'') (Ocean/Blue Water dub)\
616'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/HumbertoSolorzano
617
618The fourth of Baba's warriors who Goku and the Dragon Team must fight to find the location of the last Dragon Ball needed to wish Upa's father back to life from Baba who is not only normally the final opponent (the top spot was filled by Grandpa Gohan who was brought in as a ringer by Baba to test Goku) but won the World Martial Arts Tournament twice prior to this. Among Spike's abilities and powers are speed, agility, winged flight, and pitchfork combat. Early on he struggles to fight Goku which prompts him to use the Devilmite Beam, a ki blast that kills his opponent if they even have a shred of evil within them. The attack is ineffective because Goku is pure of heart and Spike is defeated after a failed last-ditch effort to skewer Goku with his pitchfork.
619----
620* AdaptationalBadass: Though not as quickly as Bandages, in the manga, he was still very easily dispatched by Goku after his Devilmite Beam failed to kill the boy. The anime gives him a more impressive showing by having him almost knock Goku into the acidic soup of the Devil's Toilet with only Goku's tail saving him.
621* AllThereInTheManual: The Daizenshuu reveals that Spike is an actual demon from Hell who came to Earth in order to earn something [[HellSeeker and wishes to return someday.]] The magazine ''Dragon Ball: Adventure Special'' mentions that he has an older sister named Majon (a pun on "majo" or "witch") who is otherwise never depicted in any other ''DB''-related media.
622* AttackOnTheHeart: In a spiritual sense, the Devilmite Beam takes whatever negative or evil thoughts and emotions from within a person and concentrates them into their chest cavity. The dark energy gradually expands until the energy can only escape by bursting the cavity open, thus killing the target. Goku being [[IncorruptiblePurePureness completely devoid]] of such thoughts is the only reason he survived it.
623* BigRedDevil: [[SubvertedTrope He's not red]], but he more than qualifies otherwise.
624* {{Bowdlerise}}: His habit of mentioning Hell in every other sentence certainly wouldn't have flown on an American children's TV network back in 2003 or now, [[ZigzaggedTrope yet the "Devil" part in his name still made it to broadcast.]]
625* TheCameo: Appears in the anime with Bandages giving his energy to the Spirit Bomb after Mr. Satan demands that the Earthlings lend a hand against Majin Buu. His image also appeared in the King Piccolo arc as a part of the Tournament Registration list, though Tambourine was called off before he could go after him.
626* {{Camp}}: Justin Cook gives him a slight effeminate flair in Funimation's dub, similar to General Blue.
627* ADayInTheLimelight: The protagonist of a WhatIf story in ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi Budokai Tenkaichi 3]]'', where he saves the Earth from Mecha Frieza and King Cold instead of Future Trunks. He may be a weakling compared with Frieza, but his Devilmite Beam was his trump card against the Tyrants, who were pure evil.
628-->'''Devilman''': Bad end, ha!
629* DevilsPitchfork: Spike's pitchfork was used as a last resort against Goku when the Devilmite Beam proved ineffective.
630* DidntSeeThatComing: He's so convinced anyone has at least a tiny speck of evil in their hearts, enough for the Devilmite Beam to be lethal, that he's caught off-guard by Goku being immune to it.
631* DoesNotLikeSpam: A Japanese magazine special revealed that he hates angels. [[SarcasmMode Gee, what a shock.]]
632* DubNameChange: From Akkuman in Japan to Spike the Devilman in America. The English dub of ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'' literally calls him just Devilman.
633* FangsAreEvil: He's got some sharp pearly whites and, while not as depraved as Fangs and Bandages, is still a ruthless demon willing to kill his enemy if it can't be avoided.
634* GlassCannon: He's this mainly for Goku who has little trouble defeating him, in part due to the Devilmite Beam having no effect on Goku. Otherwise, while skilled enough to win two World Martial Arts Tournaments, the Beam is clearly his Trump Card attack if all else fails.
635* GoodWingsEvilWings: Spike's batlike wings allow him to fly before it became standard in ''Dragon Ball'' for almost every fighter to do so.
636* HellSeeker: He was born in the biblical Hell and came to Earth to "earn some more" before returning to Hell one day. [[AllThereInTheManual This is only given in supplemental material,]] though his various Hell jokes do allude to it.
637* HornedHumanoid: His goat-like horns sticking out of his head.
638* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his extreme methods in trying to kill Goku during their match, he mainly only seems to use it on those who truly deserve it. His WhatIf story involves him confronting Frieza and King Cold in order to protect his home planet. Plus, he was revived by Porunga with a wish that was meant to exclude all the bad people of Earth who'd died in the Majin Buu incident, so he can't be all that bad.
639* KamehameHadoken: Spike's Devilmite Beam is a beam of energy that is more effective [[ThePowerOfHate the higher his victim's negativity is]]. It fails with Goku because he's pure of heart. It's quite telling this technique is overpowered in ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'', where you can kill most of the villains with one strike with it ([[DifficultButAwesome assuming you can even hit with it]]), and in a What If story, he [=OHKOs=] Frieza with it.
640* LamePunReaction: Upon seeing how screwed he is against Goku, he jokingly asks "Akuma-ta?" which can roughly mean "What the devil?" that causes the spectators to fall over.
641* ManOfKryptonite: The Devilmite Beam makes him this to '''''most of the roster'''''. Doesn't matter how stronger you are than him; if it hits, and there's any negativity in you, you're screwed unless you have CompleteImmortality or FromASingleCell.
642* PetTheDog: He and Bandages, in the anime, contribute energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb, though this was after [[FakeUltimateHero Mr. Satan]] requested it.
643* RealMenWearPink: In addition to having a slightly effeminate voice, ''Dragon Ball: Adventure Special'' revealed that he enjoys shopping.
644* ShoutOut: To the original ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' by Creator/GoNagai's pen.
645* StoryBreakerPower: The Devilmite Beam would be utterly devastating against most of the pure evil villains that appeared after him in the series - only immortals or those that can regenerate FromASingleCell could be able to live to tell the tale; a WhatIf story from ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi Budokai Tenkaichi 3]]'' shows this clearly. Naturally, the Devilmite Beam is never mentioned after he's defeated, and his only appearance after that was a cameo at the end of the Majin Buu arc giving his power to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb...after ''Mr. Satan'' demanded it, not Goku.
646* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: He uses the Devilmite Beam on Goku, a technique that takes a person's negative feelings and causes them to explode, simply because Goku whacked him around ''twice''. Even Baba, [[ChaoticNeutral who otherwise enjoys watching a good slaughter,]] thought that Spike [[EveryoneHasStandards was going too far]] in using it on the boy.

Cell counters by pushing out of the ring with him slightly powering up. After the Cell Games, Caroni isn't seen again until the end of the Buu Saga and then in ''Dragon Ball Super'' where he now serves as Satan's assistant.

725[[caption-width-right:300:The Yardrats as they appear in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'']]
726
727A race of aliens with the ability of the Instant Transmission. They were planned to be conquered by the Ginyu Force, but were saved indirectly by Goku and Vegeta during the Planet Namek incident. After Namek's destruction, Goku arrived there, and the Yardrats taught him the Instant Transmission technique and took care of him for half a year.
728
729For some reason, the Yardrats also exist on [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse2 Universe 2]], and one of them is part of Universe 2's team during the Tournament of Power.
730----
731* AscendedExtra:
732** While an individual Yardrat (with the pink Toei design) served as a notable member of Team Universe 2 during the Tournament of Power, the Yardrats of Universe 7 finally become relevant again in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga as Vegeta travels to their planet in order to learn their mysterious techniques.
733** They also bear relevance in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'', having been commissioned to mass produce time machines for Earth as early as 100 years before the start of the game.
734* ADayInTheLimelight: Long before its return in ''Dragon Ball Super'', Planet Yardrat was given the privilege of being home to its own level in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZSagas'', which depicts Goku dueling with the warrior-type Soba prior to his return to Earth.
735* TheGhost: They never appear directly in the manga, with the anime adaptation of ''Z'' creating a design for them. Amusingly, Creator/AkiraToriyama's design for them in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'' looks very different. They finally appear in person in the Galactic Prisoner Arc when Vegeta needs help to deal with [[TheChessmaster Moro]].
736* KiManipulation: They're capable of this, but in a very unique way. Rather than mastering the physical augmentation the heroes did, they studied the nature of Ki, which they call Spirit, and as a result, have mastered techniques like Instant Transmission. This is why Vegeta heads here to learn from them to counter Moro.
737* SelfDuplication: Their Spirit Control allows them to multiply at will. Unlike Multi-Form, however, this is something they're capable of spamming in large numbers and were able to effectively fool someone capable of ki sense into thinking they're separate beings.
738* SizeShifter: Their Spirit Control allows them to increase their size at will, and maintain it casually.
739* SmallRoleBigImpact: Before Jimizu appeared alongside Universe 2's team in ''Super'', they never directly appeared in the series, but they taught Goku the Instant Transmission technique, which helped him save the day on many occasions.
740* WeakButSkilled: They are a rather weak race when it comes to fighting, but they have control over space and time, and their Instant Transmission technique is among the most useful techniques in the series. They explain in the Galactic Prisoner Arc that this is because they've studied the nature of Ki itself, which they call Spirit, and while weak in terms of their actual power level, are far, far more skilled in what they can actually do with it compared to the heroes.
741* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/c/c9/Yadorats_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170613152435 They look quite different when they reappear in]] ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline''. The Galactic Prisoner Arc eventually explains that they're two different subspecies of Yardrats that both live on the planet.

744[[folder:The Tuffles]]
745!!Tuffles (ツフル人, ''Tsufuru-jin'')
746[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tuffles.png]]
747
748-> ''"The only people who can handle weapons like these are the Tuffles. A race that was destroyed by my old man. Planet Vegeta was originally inhabited by them, but when the Saiyans stumbled on their world, they wiped out all of the Tuffles, and took the planet for their own."''
749-->-- '''Vegeta'''
750
751Before King Vegeta conquered what would be known as Planet Vegeta, there was Planet Plant, with its inhabitants known as the Tuffles. The Tuffles were a highly advanced race of pacifist HumanAliens, who had to coexist with the violent Saiyans. They were exterminated by King Vegeta, making their race extinct.
752
753In the OVA ''Anime/DragonBallPlanToEradicateTheSaiyans'', the last surviving artifact made by the Tuffles, [[Characters/DragonBallZMovieVillains Hatchiyack, and the ghost projection of Doctor Lychee]], plans to have RevengeByProxy by destroying the last surviving Saiyans and the Earth. In ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', the Tuffles appear again in [[Characters/DragonBallGTVillains Baby]], who thanks to the Tuffle technology, managed to retain the genetic memory of every single Tuffle.
754
755For some reason, the Tuffles appear to also exist on [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse2 Universe 2]], and one of them is part of Universe 2's team during the Tournament of Power.
756----
757* AlternateHistory: In ''VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes'', the Tuffles used to exist in Universe 6, but have a much different history than the ones in Universe 7.
758** The Saiyans never occupied their planet and lived beside the Tuffles since they never destroyed their original home planet, Planet Sadala.
759** The origin of Neo Machine Mutant Tuffles like Baby is different. Instead of being created to avenge the Tuffles, they were simply created to be the {{Ultimate Lifeform}}s.
760** The demise of the Tuffle race is different. Instead of being exterminated by the Saiyans, they were wiped out by their own creations, Neo Machine Mutant Tuffles Oren and Kamin.
761* AmbiguousSituation: There are conflicting messages on the relationship between Tuffles and Saiyans. Baby from GT and Lychee both claim that Saiyans were taken in and treated as equals before Saiyans got greedy and attacked, however, there are claims by Vegeta that Tuffles treated them as lesser beings until they got fed up and revolted. Due to the lack of expansion during this era, this remains unclear who was telling the truth.
762* CanonImmigrant: The Tuffles were never mentioned in the original manga, first appearing in ''Z'' filler, though the backstory of the Tuffles and Saiyans comes from a memo by Toriyama. They are a canon species as of ''Super'', where a member of its race fights in the Tournament of Power for Universe 2.
763* EdibleThemeNaming: The Japanese name is a pun on the loanword for "fruit" ("Tsufuru" is an anagram for "furutsu", the Japanese pronunciation for "fruits").
764* TheFarmerAndTheViper: According to Dr. Lychee, the Tuffles tried to help the Saiyans but were instead exterminated by them. It should be noted, however, that this account isn't exactly backed up by what we see in flashbacks: while the Saiyans did make war on the Tuffles (and ultimately wiped them out), they were shown as living in primitive conditions prior to King Vegeta's war, implying that the Tuffles weren't quite as generous to the invaders as Lychee paints them as being, and Vegeta claims that the Tuffles used Saiyans as slaves.
765* {{Foil}}: To the Saiyans. Both are HumanAliens, but while the Saiyans were barbaric, the Tuffles were pacifistic and highly technological.
766* HumanAliens: Like the Saiyans, they are downright identical to the Earthlings, but they're smaller than Saiyans.
767* LostInTranslation: The original Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese loanword for "fruit", where the kana is rearranged similar to how the Japanese name for "Saiyan" is the kana for "vegetable" in reverse. The English name doesn't retain the pun.
768* PosthumousCharacter: The Tuffles are stated to be extinct in every media they appear. Its last surviving member, Doctor Lychee, also passed away and was reborn as a Ghost Warrior by Hatchiyack.
769* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: They are stated to be great scientists, and during the conflict between the Tuffles and the Saiyans, they fought with their many weapons. Alas, they didn't survive, but according to a source, the Scouters that allow the Frieza Empire to read power levels were created by them. This also extends to their "survivors" Doctor Lychee, who is a Ghost Warrior created by the supercomputer Hatchiyack, and Baby, who is a parasite with the genetic memory of King Tuffle.

773!!Plants (プラント, ''Puranto-seijin'')
774[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plants3aeob.png]]
775
776The indigenous population of Planet Plant which appears in ''[[Anime/DragonBallEpisodeOfBardock Episode of Bardock]]''. Their planet was eyed out by the Galactic Frieza Army founder, Chilled, who tried to attack it with his men in an invasion, but it was repelled by Bardock.
777----
778
779* TheCameo: A member of the Plants can be seen as aiding Frieza's army during the ''Universal Survival Arc'' in the manga. Talk about {{irony}}, but since it's only a cameo, don't think too hard about it.
780* {{Irony}}: Despite being saved by a Saiyan from Lord Chilled, it's pretty likely they end up wiped out by the Saiyans much later.
781* HumanoidAliens: Despite their weird appearances, they behave pretty much like a human tribe.
782* OnlySixFaces: ''Dragon Ball Minus'' shows one of Frieza's minions looks just like one of the Plantians.
783* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no mention of the planet Vegeta having a third race before the story they appeared in.
784* SchrodingersCanon: Their sole appearance is in the very controversial and dubiously canon Episode of Bardock, but have received no lore or focus afterward, or even acknowledgment. As such, it's not known if they are to be considered as actually existing or not.
785* UncertainDoom: Its never clear what happened to them after Bardock saved them from Chilled. Did they evolve to become the Tuffles, or were a separate race altogether? One thing is for certain: they were wiped out by the Saiyans. Then again, coming from a WhatIf story is pretty likely they never existed in the first place.

789[[folder:Tapion]]
790!!'''Tapion (タピオン)'''
791[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tapion_dragon_ball_z_by_orco05.png]]
792->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/HiroYuki\
793'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/JasonLiebrecht\
794'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Genaro Vásquez
795
796A central character from the 13th ''[=DBZ=]'' movie. Trapped in suspended animation for 1000 years, Tapion is awakened from his slumber via a wish from Goku and the gang. Unfortunately, in doing so, they also unleashed the full horror of a terrible giant beast; a beast that Tapion sacrificed himself to defeat all those years ago. Tapion takes it upon himself to do away with the monster once and for all and ultimately enlists the help of the Saiyans in his quest to do so.
797
798He is arguably the film's main protagonist, thus making ''Wrath of the Dragon'' the only movie or special not to star a Saiyan or part-Saiyan.
799----
800* AdaptationalBadass: In his debut movie, he doesn't have any skills beyond the basic swordsmanship and sealing flute capabilities, the games and supplimental materials give him his own ki-based techniques and flight.
801* BadassNormal: Unusually for the series, Tapion seems to have only the abilities bestowed upon him by the mystical Ocarina, he can't even seem to fly on his own. But that doesn't stop him from holding his own against Hoi and doing his best to defeat Hirudegarn.
802* BadassPacifist: Drops the pacifist part when he starts appearing in the ''Budokai'' games. (He doesn't seem to be able to even fly on his own in the movie.)
803* BashBrothers: He was this with his little brother Minosha. It's less 'bash' and more 'GuileHero', though.
804* BigDamnHero: Until Goku is able to figure out a more permanent solution, Tapion's the only means of keeping Hildegarn under control, and the first few fights last only until he's able to do something about it.
805* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Bulma gives him the Time Machine to go back to his time at the end of the movie.]]
806%%* CaptainErsatz: ''Probably'' is this to the likes of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Crono]].
807* CompositeCharacter: Tapion is a combination of Future Trunks and the Supreme Kai Shin. He's a sword fighter from a distant time, like Future Trunks, and someone who's against an evil wizard who is trying to revive a terrible monster, like Shin, while also combining some elements from the design of the Supreme Kai (the mohawk and the PointyEars), and even getting the same voice actor in the Latin American Spanish dub. This is especially noticeable in hindsight, as Future Trunks would be looked at as a CoolBigBro by Kid Trunks in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' much like Tapion was by Kid Trunks in the movie.
808* CoolBigBro: Trunks would very much like him to be this, and Tapion seems to warm up to it towards the end of the movie.
809* CoolSword: Given to (main timeline) Trunks at the end of the movie, and he'd go on to use it in [[BaitAndSwitchCredits the opening for]] ''GT''. It may or may not be the sword that Future Trunks used, depending on if Tapion came to Earth or not in that timeline (Is confusing, don't think too hard about it). For however much it's worth, ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' labels Future Trunks's sword as Tapion's, while ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'' claims they simply look very similar but are ''not'' the same.
810* CrazyPrepared: His people were this. After temporarily defeating and weakening Hirudegarn, the Kontasian people had the halves sealed in two brothers, and then those brothers are sealed away in music boxes, and ''then'' those boxes are sent out into space in the opposite direction of one another. It works for about a thousand years before Hoi arrives on Earth.
811* CruelToBeKind: He acknowledges it's very unfair to ask the young Trunks to strike him down when they had formed a close friendship, but bluntly reminds him that it's either Trunks kills him, or Hirudegarn kills everyone.
812* DarkAndTroubledPast: Is legitimately a hero and the savior of his race, but there's a very good reason his first action on being released is to chew everyone out for it, then get as far away from the city as is feasible.
813* DefrostingIceKing: Starts up as very cold and distant, but opens up more once Trunks befriends him.
814* EnemyWithin: He has half of Hirudegarn inside his body, and the other half was given to his brother. He can't fall asleep or otherwise, will awaken the monster. It gives him nightmares.
815* FaceDeathWithDignity: He admits he's ready to die at the hands of Trunks if it means he takes Hirudegarn with him.
816* ICannotSelfTerminate: Due to the fact he only carries half of the monster, he can't simply kill himself to kill Hirudegarn along with him. During the climax, he takes all of the monster into himself and asks Trunks to kill him, but the monster grew too powerful for him to handle.
817* TheInsomniac: Hildegarn will escape if he sleeps outside of suspended animation. Though he's shown to have terrible nightmares when he does actually sleep, it seems to be linked to Hildegarn.
818* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Trunks, as the former is a young child while Tapion is at least 1000 years old, they still manage to bond quite quickly.
819* {{Leitmotif}}: He has an ocarina theme song that is important to the plot, as its tune can calm down the monster.
820* MagicKnight: Both his ocarina and sword were given to him by a wizard, both with magical and powerful sealing properties.
821* OlderThanTheyLook: Of the suspended animation variety - he was born 1000 years ago.
822* PerpetualFrowner: As he has nothing to look forward to [[spoiler: except the likelihood of Hildegarn fully emerging, and everything he ever knew 1000 years in the past.]] He's a bit happier at the end of the movie.
823* PointyEars: A Conuts-ian trait.
824* TheQuietOne: After arriving on Earth, at first.
825* SealedEvilInACan: The evil monster is sealed within his own body.
826* SealedGoodInACan: Technically, the evil monster is sealed inside ''him'' and then ''he'' is sealed inside the can.
827* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Spelling doesn't change, but the Japanese version pronounces his name with a short "a" sound while the Funimation dub pronounces it with a ''long'' "a" sound.
828* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As someone from a distant time, Tapion is pretty much Future Trunks with a more mystic theme. This is not a bad example, however, as Tapion manages to be a pretty good substitute for Future Trunks, and is the closest kid Trunks ever got to meet his future counterpart before ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''.
829* ThemeNaming: Tapion's name is apparently a play on the word ''tapioca'', which fits with the food-naming theme.

839Tapion's younger brother. A hero to his home planet that sealed himself with the lower part of Hirudegarn somewhere in the south galaxy. Sadly, the evil wizard Hoi found him and awakened the demonic beast, killing the young hero.
840----
841* CastingGag: He shares voice actress with [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Young Link]].
842* KidHero: He was only seven years old when he sealed half of Hirudegarn alongside his big brother.
843* PosthumousCharacter: By the time the film starts, he has been long dead. However, Bulma gives Tapion a time machine so that he can return to his own time, in order to undo his death.

848[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gure_artwork.png]]
849->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/KumikoNishihara
850
851Gure is Tarble's wife who also came to Earth with him. She is very short, coming in slightly shorter than young Trunks and Goten. Her species is unknown, but she looks nothing like a Saiyan or a human.
852----
853* CanonImmigrant: Zig-zagged. The ''Battle of Gods'' movie is approved as canon by Creator/AkiraToriyama, and in it there's a line in which Bulma asks Vegeta about "that sweet and kind little brother of yours?", to which Vegeta answered that last time he heard, "he's living on some backwater planet, and I don't know which one!", but this exchange does not happen in the ''Super'' arc adaptation of the movie, so Tarble and Gure's canon status is more or less ambiguous.
854* FlatCharacter: She is very polite, but doesn't have that much more depth and is pretty satelital to Tarble.
855* HappilyMarried: Gure looking nothing like a human or Saiyan certainly doesn't discourage Tarble from proudly introducing her as his beloved to Vegeta.
856* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Only relatively speaking. Tarble is twice as tall as Gure, but the shortest adult Saiyan.
857* InterspeciesRomance: While there's plenty of this in ''Dragon Ball'', these two really stand out. She and Tarble are the only relationship in the franchise that doesn't involve two HumanAliens.
858* NiceGirl: She is a very polite woman.
859* OddCouple: She and Tarble, to the point that it's ''really'' hard to see what he saw in her... Or, provided she's indicative of what her species looks like, what she saw in him. This is especially noticeable as she is not a strong-willed woman, something Saiyans like.
860* OneShotCharacter: Only appeared in ''Anime/DragonBallYoSonGokuAndHisFriendsReturn''.
861* ReusedCharacterDesign: Gure bears a strong resemblance to the Tech-Tech aliens from ''Neko Majin'', who like the Saiyans, were also quite hostile. This species, however, also appeared in ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'' and the manga adaptation of ''Resurrection [='F'=]'', giving rise to the theory she belongs to the same race.
862* SatelliteLoveInterest: She doesn't have any sort of character that doesn't rely on Tarble.

867[[caption-width-right:237:Don't be fooled. This is just some fanboy trapped in his body.]]
868
869A Japanese high school student from a more realistic Earth where the ''Dragon Ball'' series is fictional, who appears in the SpinOff manga ''Manga/DragonBallThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsYamcha''. After a potentially fatal accident, he is resurrected in the ''Dragon Ball'' world as Yamcha shortly before Goku starts his training with Master Roshi. Realizing Yamcha's fate throughout the series, the student seeks to make Yamcha a stronger fighter than Goku this time around.
870----
871* AlternateSelf: "Yamcha" is this to Yamcha, as he is stronger, more savvy thanks to his MediumAwareness, and more diligent when it comes to training than he ever was. He also lacks the facial scars of the original, presumably due to not doing the same training prior to the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament.
872* CharacterDevelopment: At first, he wants to survive the battle against the Saiyans so he can marry Bulma. Once the actual battle is over, however, he lets Vegeta survive after realizing Trunks wouldn't be born (and unable to warn about the impending BadFuture) if he didn't get together with her.
873* ChekhovsSkill: Because this kid knows what he knows, he can make his ("Yamcha's") training more efficient than it was before. He can also fake Vegeta out mid-battle [[CombatPragmatist by saying "Hey look, it's Beerus!", causing him to let his guard down]].
874* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler:He was reincarnated as Yamcha as part of a "reincarnation game" played between Beerus and Champa, and is sent back to his old life after he ends the game in a tie by befriending the similarly-reincarnated Chiaotzu.]]
875* HeroicBSOD: He becomes sad when [[spoiler:he has an opportunity to finish off the defeated Vegeta, but realizes if Vegeta dies, Trunks won't exist. He reluctantly lets Vegeta escape while bemoaning the fact that he'll have to let Bulma, whom he had fallen in love with, get together with Vegeta.]]
876* GoingThroughTheMotions: He starts out copying what the real Yamcha does motion for motions until he changes his mind about going to West City with Bulma.
877* MediumAwareness: His awareness in how the series plays out allows him to survive the invasion of the Saiyans ''by going to Namek to train with Nail and get his potential unlocked by Guru, something none of the main characters could have known of''. His shouting to Vegeta about Beerus also saves his ass from his wrath. He also does other things like drink the poisoned Holy Water that increases your power if you survive, learns Roshi's sealing technique, and [[spoiler:figures out Chiaotzu is also a reincarnated individual because he acts way out of character.]]
878* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In an example of ArtShift, his original identity is drawn with a completely different art style from Toriyama style from the '90s, to reflect how he is from the real world.
879* OvershadowedByAwesome: While no longer being TheWorfEffect incarnate and [[spoiler:having prevented the deaths of "himself", Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo due to Goku being late to the battle]], he's still implied to be weaker than Goku [[spoiler:and teams up with him to beat Vegeta, not strong enough to take him on by himself, if only because of Goku's Kaioken (as his default power level is 10,000, higher than Goku's 8,000)]]. After this, he even realizes neither he, nor any other human, will be a match for the villains that lie ahead.
880* SequenceBreaking: Decides to break from the canon story by skipping training on Earth during the wait for the Saiyans by going straight to ''Namek'' to train with Nail and get his potential unlocked by Guru.
881* SmokeShield: Survived [[ActionBomb mass bombing]] from the Saibamen unharmed and was wiping off his gi when the dust settled.
882* SparedByTheAdaptation: Thanks to his knowledge of the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, he manages to save himself from getting blown up by a Saibamen and survives the battle against Vegeta. He also manages to escape being killed by Majin Buu [[spoiler:as Whis sends his soul back to his original Earth before then]].
883* TookALevelInBadass: Because of the student's knowledge of what happens in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, including ''Battle of Gods'', him as Yamcha not only avoids Yamcha's cruel meme of a death due to a Saibaman, but he eviscerates '''ALL''' of the Saibamen [[spoiler:and '''KILLS NAPPA''']].
884* TrainingMontage: To become stronger than how Yamcha was before, this Yamcha endures the brutal TrainingFromHell that Goku and Krillin endured from Master Roshi, trained with Korin, drank the mystic water, flew to Namek, had Lord Guru unleash his hidden potential, and trained with Nail. This all happened before the fight with Nappa and Vegeta on Earth.
885* UndignifiedDeath: Before his revival as Yamcha, the high schooler dies falling down a flight of stairs trying to get a closer look at a girl in a short skirt.

890
891An elite student from the realistic Earth who was resurrected into the ''Dragon Ball'' world as Chiaotzu. Despite his knowledge of the ''Dragon Ball'' series, Oushou would die and be resurrected again. Going mad due to this, he sought to take over this world using the Dragon Balls.
892----
893* AlternateSelf: Oushou is this to Chiaotzu, as he is stronger, more savvy thanks to his MediumAwareness and is far less of a liability.
894* CharacterDevelopment: After his resurrection, Oushu tried to work with the hand he was dealt and be a good guy. The problem was no matter what he did, he kept on dying to the point where he doesn't remember how many times he was resurrected. When he first actually appears in the story, he's frustrated and angry and decides to turn evil.
895* ChekhovsSkill: Because he's a ''Dragon Ball'' super fan, he made his/Chiaotzu's training more efficient than it was before. It only worked so well, however, as he kept on dying.
896* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler:He was reincarnated as Chioutzu as part of a "reincarnation game" played between Beerus and Champa, and is sent back to his old life after he ends the game in a tie by befriending the similarly-reincarnated Yamcha.]]
897* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Unlike the boy who was reincarnated as Yamcha, the manga never shows what Oushou really looked like.
898* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started as good, showed up as evil, and ended up good again [[spoiler:right before the end of Beerus and Champa’s resurrection game]].
899* IDontKnowMortalKombat: The student regularly got first place in events in ''Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle'', but as Chiaotzu has died dozens of times.
900* MediumAwareness: Like "Yamcha", Oushou changes his character’s destiny with his knowledge about what happens in the series.
901* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Oushou" was a name he utilized online when playing ''Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle''.
902* OvershadowedByAwesome: With all his ''Dragon Ball'' knowledge, it still wasn’t enough to become a stronger warrior in the long run.

909Neko Majin Z, or Z for short, is a magical cat that is the main protagonist of Toriyama's gag manga ''Nekomajin''.
910----
911* AssistCharacter: In his video game debut in ''Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors'', he is an unlockable assist character.
912* BadassAdorable: A cute kitten that can copy powers and is at least as strong as Buu.
913* CuteKitten: He is a small little blue magical cat.
914* CuteLittleFangs: Being a cat he has these, however, they are only visible when his mouth is opened.
915* EasilyForgiven: Onio quickly stops seeking revenge on him after he lands on earth. This is despite the fact that Z fondled his wife’s breasts, which made him angry enough to go Super Saiyan, and that him losing to Z in a fight was the reason she divorced him.

921* MasterApprenticeChain: Trains under Goku which gives him a rather long and complex chain considering all the characters that Goku has trained under.
922* NonIndicativeName: Despite the name, he has no relation to Majin Buu.
