Dr. Briefs

"Wives are for kissing, not talking."

Voiced by: Ben "Hbi2k" Creighton

Bulma's father, the brilliant scientist who founded Capsule Corp. He also happens to be one of the most unbelievably racist and misogynistic people on earth.

---

• Abusive Parents: He apparently wanted to install a bomb in Bulma's chest to keep her in line, but was stopped by his wife.
• Adaptational Villainy: A hugely prejudiced Mad Scientist who keeps his wife young by cloning and replacing her whenever she starts to show signs of aging.
• Apocalyptic Log: He made a video of the Halloween party. It became one after Mr. Popo came as the Cloverfield monster.
• Baby Factory: Believes women are these, as he comments that 18's reproductive system is still intact, and therefore she's still useful for something.
• Bigotry Exception: Bulma seems to be exempt from his usual attitudes towards women, with him having no problems working with her in the lab and generally showing her the same respect he would to anyone else.
• The Bluebeard: It is very heavily implied that he murdered his wife and repeatedly clones her, killing each clone at the first sign of age before replacing it with another. KaiserNeko, however, leans towards the interpretation that he either uses the clones' cells to de-age the original or simply uses them as Body Backup Drives.
• Body Backup Drive: How he manages to keep his wife looking so young. He keeps them in his basement.
• Cerebus Retcon: His wife doesn't age because "her husband won't let her". The stinger of Episode 45 implies that his wife is just one of a series of clones who replace each other at the first signs of age.
• Hypocritical Humor: Dr. Briefs makes fun of the Androids' original names, Lapis and Lazuli, nevermind that his entire family is named after underwear.
• I'm a Humanitarian: When learning that Yajirobe has eaten the projects in his lab, he specifies that most of them weren't meant to be eaten. It's possible there may have been projects besides the foetal clones of his wife, but we haven't heard of any. The other implication, as TeamFourStar points out as one layer of the joke in the creator commentary, is of a dirtier thought.
  Dr. Briefs: Most of them weren't meant to be eaten that way!
• Just a Machine: Dismisses the Androids as just machines, one of his many prejudices.
• Mad Scientist: Clones his wife to keep her young, sees nothing wrong with Dr. Gero kidnapping orphans for experiments and wanted to keep a bomb implanted in his own daughter.
• Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Lampshaded by Master Roshi in Episode 13:
  Master Roshi: But why Bulma's [house]?
  Goku: Well, I need a ship and her dad's a scientist.
  Master Roshi: ...I'm not even going to begin to go into what is wrong with that, and just wish you good luck.
• Parental Neglect: In an alternate future, he left his wife, daughter and grandson on Earth with Androids 17 and 18 going on a killing spree while he was looking for New Namek. True, he was intending to use their Dragon Balls so he could fix the disaster somehow, but it was still a dick move leaving his family to fend for themselves.
• Pet the Dog:
  • Despite his Adaptational Villainy, he still shows concern for Goku, warning him to be careful with the gravity machine.
  • He also willingly offers to repair Android 16 and is fairly nice to him while repairing him. He even offered a gatling gun.
  • He loves his grandson and let the Namekians stay at his house despite his racism.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: If there's some kind of prejudice to be had, then good ol' Dr. Briefs has it and then some. He's racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic.
• Racist Grandpa:
  • When his wife says they have a visitor (Vegeta landing his ship on their lawn), the first thing he asks his wife is "Is he colored?"
  • Also can't stop bringing up the fact that his grandson is half-and-half.
• Spared by the Adaptation: He's clearly shown to survive the Android assault in Future Trunks' timeline, and is last seen searching for New Namek in space.
• Stating the Simple Solution: After seeing that 17 and 18 have bombs in them, he says he can make a remote detonator, stating that they're mostly machine at this point.
• Stay in the Kitchen: His attitude toward his wife.
  Dr. Briefs: Now, honey, remember what I told you...
  Dr. and Mrs. Briefs: ..."wives are for kissing, not talking."

Chi-Chi

"WHERE'S MY BABY?"

Voiced by: Krisrix (briefly in Season 1), Kimlinh "Hnilmik" Tran (Current)

The daughter of the Ox King and Goku's wife (guess that makes Goku a prince?), who fell for and eventually married the spiky-haired airhead after he did a Crotch-Grab Sex Check on her. Don't think about it too hard. Despite being rather timid in her youth, as an adult Chi-Chi constantly hounds Goku and Gohan, and more often than not serves as the Z-Warriors' greatest force to reckon with.

---

• Abusive Parents:
  • Though essentially well-meaning, she is extremely overbearing towards Gohan, and usually ignores any protest he voices that suggest he might like to do something other than what she's chosen for him. It bites her in the ass in The History of Trunks when Gohan realizes he could just fly away and never come back, leaving her completely alone.
    Gohan: [disappointed] He's just gonna bring me books again...
    Chi-Chi: [threateningly] He brings you what you like! And what do you like?!
    Gohan: [scared] I like books!
    Chi-Chi: [cheerfully] See? He brings you what you like.
  • Like everyone else, flanderized in Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged 2.9, where she hires a tutor with a whip to motivate Gohan.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: In Episode 54, Chi-Chi's protectiveness of Gohan is portrayed with more restraint and nuance than it usually is in the source material. She admits that she might be single-minded in making sure her son finishes his studies, but it's because she just wants him to be able to build a future for himself where he can survive on more than prize money and his grandfather's stature. She also very plainly affirms that she will make every one of the Z-Fighters suffer if Gohan dies under their watch.
• Adaptational Villainy: At the same time, this Chi-Chi has shown no respect for personal boundaries, such as wanting to put a tracking chip in Gohan. Special mention goes to Gohan's abusive tutor. Canon Chi-Chi had no idea and beat the shit out of him when she realized what a jerk he was. Not only does this Chi-Chi know, it's implied to be the reason she hired him.
• Almighty Mom: When she tells you to listen to her, you listen.
  Chi-Chi: I'm a fighter too, y'know! How do you think I landed the strongest man on the planet?
  Vegeta: [under his breath] Arguably...
  Chi-Chi: Do not make me come over there, I will rip your world a f***ing sunder.
  Vegeta: [grunts nervously, averts eyes]
  • Averted in the future, where Gohan eventually realized that despite her threats there's nothing Chi-Chi can actually force him to do and simply flies out of her life forever.
• All Women Are Lustful: Like Bulma (the other major female character), it's made clear that Chi-Chi also has a fairly healthy sex drive. Goku has remarked that Chi-Chi keeps a sex toy in her dresser and also that she enjoys going to the "toy store". From other dialogues, it can be implied that she likes giving Goku oral sex (he calls it the "mouth present") and was relieved when the senzu beans "healed Goku's nuts up good" after he was punched in the dick by Android 13. Episode 56 establishes that, while Goku enjoys having sex with her, she's definitely the libido in their relationship.
• Amusing Injuries: Goku accidentally throws her so high that she leaves the atmosphere and catches fire. She's completely fine after the title sequence rolls.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Displays a large amount of affection for Goku in Episode 45. It happens again during Episode 56. After she finds out she's pregnant, her mood improves dramatically and she talks much more affectionately to Goku.
  • Averted by the end of Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan Abridged. After Goku botches Gohan's college interview (forcing her to pay through the nose in donations to get him accepted), Chi-Chi has had enough of Goku's antics and coldly tells him she wants a divorce, though it's shown nothing came from it during "Plan to Eradicate Christmas".
• Babies Make Everything Better: She agrees to let Goku fight Cell (and even lets him take Gohan with him) on the condition that they have another child. True to her word, her sexual rampage on Goku during the events of Episode 56 end after she gets pregnant.
• Badass Normal: She can't use ki like Goku et al, but Chi-Chi is a highly skilled fighter. It was the main thing that allowed her to land Goku in the first place. Plus her attitude manages to intimidate even Vegeta during the Cell Games.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Though not as creepy and scary as Mr. Popo, Chi-Chi is still feared amongst the male characters, especially Krillin.
  Krillin: So, Chi-Chi... Hypothetically... What would you do if you were told that your husband was dead and his son was kidnapped by his worst enemy?
  Chi-Chi: (cheerfully) I'd castrate the messenger in his sleep with a rusty carving knife!
  Krillin: Ohh... Then, it's a good thing I'm not telling you that!
  [both laugh in a very forced manner]
  Chi-Chi: Would you like to stay the night?
  Krillin: Aaagainst my better judgement...
  • Even Vegeta is scared of her. And that's saying something. See the Almighty Mom quote above.
• Big "WHAT?!": Combined with Distant Reaction Shot. After finding out that Goku and Gohan are actually going to fight the androids, her scream can be heard in the distance while they are flying away.
• Break the Haughty: In History of Trunks Abridged, if losing her husband wasn't enough, her only son abandoning her does her in. And it's surprisingly sad.
• Covert Pervert: While Chi-Chi has been implied to have a healthy sexual appetite and some kinky tastes, she seems to like to keep that under wraps such as when Goku mention him getting the "mouth present" Chi-Chi was quick to shush him (although this could also have been because he was talking about it in front of Gohan).
• Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: When she sees that Goku is making Gohan fight Cell, she picks up the TV, screaming she will castrate him with a butter knife.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the Buu Bits, Super Buu torments Gohan by opening mouths on himself so Gohan can hear the cries of all the victims he’s absorbed, with Chi-Chi's voice expressing shock that she was turned into an egg at some point. This seems to imply that Super Buu ate her after turning her into an egg in this continuity, whereas the original canon had him smash her underfoot after turning her into an egg because he was annoyed with her.
• The Dreaded: Played for laughs. Goku, who has faced galactic tyrants without even flinching, is terrified of getting on her bad side. Even Vegeta only nervously looks away when she threatens him into silence.
• Education Mama:
  • "You read it, you learn it, you love it!" Justified: she wants a better life for Gohan than his old man's living off welfare and prize money.
  • And in the Broly movie abridgment, she outright says "I'm a teacher first, and a mother second. Also a wife."
• Evil Sounds Deep: She isn't evil but she was the "dark force" Gohan felt when he saw a ship coming to them, and her first words are "Where is MY baby!?" in a deep, terrifying voice after coming out.
• Freudian Threat: Twice. First when Krillin when Krillin attempts to tell her of Goku's death and Piccolo's kidnapping of Gohan (see Shoot the Messenger below) and when Goku makes Gohan fight Cell (see Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon above).
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Even more than the original series.
• Informed Judaism: Claims her mother was Jewish in Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan , though given that she lies a lot in Gohan's college interview, that's up for debate.
• I Want Grandkids: In History of Trunks Abridged, she laments that Gohan, given his age, should have married and started his own family. But that doesn't happen, as Gohan is estranged from her and that would be the last thing on his mind.
• Jerkass Has a Point: While she can be an overbearing Education Mama, she has a good point that Goku's lifestyle isn't particularly stable and no mother would want their 10 year old son fighting a sadistic monster, no matter how strong he is. Gohan realized it when Broly is about to beat the life out of him.
  Gohan: I should apologize to mom if I get home.
• Like Mother, Like Daughter: In Episode 59, the Ox King implies, at the least, she got her sexual appetite from her mother.
• Limited Wardrobe: Her wardrobe mostly comprising of Chinese-style clothes (a qipao is shown) is Lampshaded by Android 18, who raided her closet during their hunt for Goku, and calls her as "a Chinese princess"...which, after all, she is.
• Mama Bear: She makes a point that if Gohan is hurt or even killed by Cell when any of the Z-fighters could have stopped it, not even the Eternal Dragon can save them.
• Mistaken for Pedophile: Because Krillin decided to say how Gohan was "pounding her tuna" without Goku around.^note Gohan was fishing for Chi-Chi since Goku was away (Again) and his method of doing so was punching them out of the water.
• My Beloved Smother: To Gohan. Some of her more obsessive traits come from the fact that her firstborn son, while a competent fighter, is constantly being placed in situations that place him face to face with villains capable of destroying planets before he's even a teenager.
  • In the Buu Bits, Chi-Chi finally allows Gohan to attend high school, not before worrying about the food quality of public schools and prisons, warns him to not talk to girls, and clearly has no intentions of sending Goten to school.
  Chi-Chi: Always listen to your teachers! And remember, all women are liars and you'll always be my baby and you'll never grow up!
  Goten: When will I get to school?
  Chi-Chi: When your father comes home.
• Negated Moment of Awesome: In Lord Slug Abridged she charges into battle and takes out one or two of Lord Slug's mooks with the 'Housewife Style Kick Of A Thousand Menstrual Cycles'.
  Chi-Chi: You see, just because I'm a woman— [promptly punched in the face by another mook]
  Bulma: ...That actually lasted longer than I expected.
• Sex Slave: Played for laughs; she borderline treats Goku as this during their marathon of sex sessions the week before the Cell Games.
  Chi-Chi: [to Goku, upon discovering him in the living room] WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD LEAVE THE BEDROOM!?
• Shoot the Messenger: She threatens to castrate poor Krillin simply for telling her that Goku is dead and that Gohan has been kidnapped by Piccolo.
• Stepford Smiler:
  • She acts quite cheerful, but it's clear that her marriage to Goku is less than ideal, due to his frequent absences and his continually putting his and their son's lives in danger. If she asks you to stay the night, say NO!!!
  • In Episode 39, she also cheerfully reads the disclaimer while Goku is screaming in pain in the background, and she acts entirely too chipper about her husband's situation in general, saying that she's just happy that he's finally at home for a change.
• Super-Strength: Regardless of how weak she is compared to the Z-Fighters, she's still strong enough to swing a tube TV and her giant of a father around like cardboard boxes at the same time.
• Unexplained Recovery: In Episode 45, Goku tosses her into space and she burns up. A few minutes later, she's fine with no explanation, not even a Lampshade Hanging.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Towards Goku. That gets easily overridden when it comes to Gohan's safety, to the point she can get pretty violent to Goku.
• Voice of the Legion: She ends up taking this on when Gohan returns from Namek.
• You Need to Get Laid: Given she becomes noticeably friendlier and affectionate after a lot of sex with Goku, she was probably very sexually frustrated. The fact that said sex caused her to get pregnant with Goten probably helps.

Master Roshi

Voiced by: Lawrence "MasakoX" Simpson (Seasons 1-2), Nick "Lanipator" Landis (Season 3)

"I have many things...A best friend who's a turtle, an island...Chlamydia...This... is not one of 'em."

Formerly one of the strongest people in the world, who acted as Goku's mentor in his young age. Known for his perverted tendencies and his lazy attitude towards assisting in fights due to his old age, his house acts as a major base of operations for the Z-Fighters throughout the series.

---

• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In canon, Roshi trained under Korin for three years. Here, Roshi seems to have never knew about Korin until after the Saiyan Saga, being surprised that a cat was able to talk after Korin explained who Mr. Popo was. Though it could just be senility and/or drug use.
• Addiction-Powered: Implied; Roshi doesn't hold back while he's stoned, and he was able to drag Krillin, Gohan, and Oolong while drunk, who notes that he shouldn't be that strong.
• Comically Missing the Point: When he asks who Popo is, Korin explains, but Roshi is more interested in the fact that a cat just talked. He must be going senile, considering he lived with and trained under that cat for three years.
• Demoted to Extra: Lampshaded; like his canon counterpart, he has made peace with this fact a long time ago.
• Dirty Old Man: Surprisingly downplayed compared to his canon counterpart. It's more prominent starting with Season 3.
  • While everyone else is just plain stunned by Krillin saying that Gohan was pounding Chi-Chi's tuna, Roshi laughs out loud at it.
  • The second Cooler film reveals he actually has chlamydia.
  • It eventually turns out to be quite Serious Business for him, when Oolong finds him ogling a fitness show.
    Oolong: You know there's actual porn on the Internet, right?
    Roshi: Pig, you gotta be able to appreciate the classics. It's what separates the perverts from the connoisseurs.
• Frothy Mugs of Water: Parodied; first it's orange juice, then it's apple juice, and finally it's beer. In the postscript, it's a Nestle Crunch bar, then a gummy bear, and finally Nappa's head.
  Nappa: Wait, what the hell?
• Heh Heh, You Said "X": Will usually laugh out loud whenever someone accidentally says something that could be implied as being sexual.
• Home Nudist: At least some of the time. Clothes apparrently ruin his "morning flow".
• I Have Many Names: When asked how he's not on any sex offender lest if he's been banned from over 500 Victoria's Secret stores, his response is to ask the others if they actually thought "Master Roshi" was his real name.
• Know When to Fold Them: In a rare moment when he's not being a cackling Dirty Old Man, before falling back on those habits again, he says this word-for-word to the other occupants of Kame House about how (not) to approach Cell.
  Roshi: Listen! Sometimes, you gotta know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em. And right now...It's foldin' time.
• Lust Makes You Dumb: Unlike the source material he has gotten in serious legal trouble for his actions; he's on a sex offender registry and has been banned from more than 500 Victoria's Secret stores. The fact that he has to use a fake name in his everyday life (his actual name is never revealed) shows just how little self-control he has.
• Not Afraid to Die: After revealing to Krillin that she's pregnant, 18 says that if they have a daughter and they haven't moved out of Kame House by the time said daughter hits puberty, she is defintely going to kill Roshi. Roshi just brushes off this threat, saying that he's had a good run.
• Old Master: It's often easy to forget that despite being vastly outclassed by the Saiyans and even most of the other humans during Z, Roshi is still more than a cut above your standard human and martial artist. He's also biologically immortal and 337 years old at the time of Cell's death.
• The Peeping Tom: Implied by responses made towards Bulma bringing over baby Trunks to Kame house. Crosses over with Dirty Old Man not only due to the content but the fact that Turtle was almost certainly cut off from mentioning that Roshi was a registered sex offender.
  Roshi: (reluctantly) ...Nah, it's fine.
  Turtle: He is legally obligated to inform you that he is—
  Roshi: TURTLE, I'VE WATCHED HER POOP! She knows what I'm about...
  • Made explicit in Dragon ShortZ Episode 6, where he's shown to have recorded Krillin and 18 making love and turned it into a porn DVD.
• Persona Non Grata: It's revealed in Super Android 13 that Roshi is banned from over 500 separate Victoria's Secret Stores across the world. The only reason he isn't universally banned is because he uses fake identities.
  Krillin: I don't get it, how are you not on some kind of list?
  Roshi: You think "Master Roshi" is my real name?
• Signature Laugh: Word of God likens it to the cackle of an Old West Prospector.
• The Stoner: In the news report about the disappearances at Ginger Town, it is mentioned that the town recently legalized marijuana. When Krillin suggests that someone go check it out, Roshi agrees, stating his stash is running a little low. World's Strongest shows that he also sells drugs, or at least pot brownies.
• STD Immunity: Averted Trope. In The Return of Cooler, he notes that he has chlamydia.
• Took a Level in Badass: The series usually seems to go out of its way to avoid mentioning that he was once one of the greatest, if not the greatest fighter on Earth. Then World's Strongest comes out and Roshi calmly destroying four Bio-men seems to come out of nowhere. Adding onto everything is the fact that it's partially fueled because he's high.
  Roshi: I do not hold back when I'm toasted.

Yajirobe

Voiced by: Scott "KaiserNeko" Frerichs

"Bean Daddy, out"

Yajirobe is an overweight samurai with a sword that is still lethal to the super powered cast of DBZA. That said he mostly tends to the senzu bean crop on Korin's tower and eventually marries Korin.

---

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: His sword is sharp enough to cleanly sever Oozaru Vegeta's tail and cause him visible pain. Keep in mind Yajirobe is by far the weakest of the Z-Fighters, even weaker than Krillin or Gohan at that time.
• Ambiguously Bi: He's in a romantic relationship with Korin, but was also excited to see Bulma breastfeed baby Trunks.
• Big Damn Heroes: Pretty much his whole purpose in Episode 10 is to arrive in the nick of time to prevent Vegeta from causing any serious harm. Unlike in the original series, he shows up out of nowhere when he does this, though a Deleted Scene in the blooper special would give an explanation.
• Big Eater: Most of his lines not involving Korin has to do with his appetite.
  Yajirobe: I am Yajirobe, and I have come for your pantry.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: Downplayed, but in Episode 37, he mentions that a side-effect of his senzu bean-centric diet is that he lactates, which he puts up with because, in his own words, Korin likes it. Ironically, it actually is possible for men to lactate in real life, though not without hormone-modifying drugs or liver damage.
• Butt-Monkey: Not to the degree of Krillin or Yamcha, but whenever he shows up in the series, he usually ends up getting hurt.
• Captain Obvious: Whenever he suffers a misfortune, he tends to say what happened to him almost immediately after it happened. For no apparent reason.
• Chekhov's Gunman: Taken to an even greater level than the original, where instead of spending the whole battle with the Saiyans hiding until he finally ends Vegeta's Oozaru-powered rampage, the only indication that he exists before coming completely out of nowhere to make the cut is a brief appearance sparring in the "Make a Man Out of You" video.
• Cool Car: He and Korin share a flying car they nick-named the Pussy Wagon. To Korin's dismay, it gets blown up by Dr. Gero.
  Yajirobe: Goodbye, Pussy Wagon. I wish I could've given you the Viking funeral you deserved.
• Deadpan Snarker: He knows how out of his depth he is and usually copes with the fact he has brushes with death by snarking his fear away. Case in point:
  (after his car gets blown up by Dr. Gero and nobody gave a damn about saving him)
  Yajirobe: "Hey, Yajirobe." What is it, Korin? "Why don't you go help out the gang?" Oh sure, Korin, why not? What's the worst that could happen?!
  Tiny rock falls on his face.
  [...]
  Yajirobe: I've got a rock up my butt...
• Extreme Omnivore: He'll eat anything. Including dead aliens.
  • A Deleted Scene reveals that he came to the battlefield because he smelled Yamcha's body cooking, and he even considered eating it.
  • In the post-credits gag of Episode 38, Gohan suggests that Bulma give Baby Trunks to him, due to the unsafe way that she was holding him. Bulma countered that she was afraid that he would drop or eat him out of spite. Yajirobe confirms her fear is rightly placed as he is pissed and hungry.
  • And in Episode 46 he's revealed to have eaten the foetal clones of Mrs. Briefs. Exactly how many is never mentioned, but then again, just one sounds pretty gruesome.
    • Only very slightly averted by Dr. Briefs mentioning that some of the items in question were meant to be eaten.
• I'm a Humanitarian: In Episode 10, he offered to eat Vegeta. He started to eat some of the remains of the dead Z-warriors in a non-canon blooper special set immediately after the Saiyan Saga. And he ended up eating the clones of Panchi that Mr. Briefs had stashed in his basement after raiding the Capsule Corp. pantry. In Episode 38, he intimated he was not above eating Baby Trunks if he had to.
• Interspecies Romance:
  • Hinted to be in one with Korin for several episodes, and it's confirmed outright in the credits gag of episode 40.
  • In this audio clip, Korin proposes to Yajirobe, and Broly Abridged depicts their wedding.
• Lactating Male: While flying with Bulma, Yajirobe finds baby Trunks trying to suck his nipple. Bulma assures him that Trunks will stop when he realizes it's a dry well, only for Yajirobe to imply that being on an all-senzu diet resulted in him being able to lactate.
  Yajirobe: Korin likes it.
• Like an Old Married Couple: With Korin. They eventually do get married, since Super Android 13 Abridged takes place before their wedding. The Legendary Super Saiyan Abridged starts off at their wedding reception.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: On the receiving end of one from Vegeta after he cuts Vegeta's armor.
• Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: After chopping off Oozaru Vegeta's tail, he hits the ground and chants, "Running running running running" in rather panicked fashion until he's off screen.
• Tranquil Fury: In Episode 38, he is furious at having his Pussy Wagon destroyed by Dr. Gero because Bulma asked to drive her to the location where the other Z-Fighters were at, and as Gohan is forced to ferry the three of them away from the battlefield with Yajirobe riding on Gohan's back while Gohan carries Bulma in his arms while she holds onto Baby Trunks in her arms. When questioning if it was even safe for Bulma to carry Trunks instead of giving him over to Yajirobe for safety; Bulma points out that since she ended up totaling his car, Yajirobe would either drop Baby Trunks or eat him out of spite.
  Yajirobe: I am pissed and hungry. She is right to fear me.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: In the Super Android 13 movie, he and Korin include Victoria's Secret lingerie on their wedding registry. Chi-Chi gently encourages Gohan not to ask about it.
  Gohan: ...But which one wears them??

Mr. Popo

Voiced by: Nick "Lanipator" Landis

"Hiiiiii."

A jet-black genie-like creature who lives on the Lookout. Unlike his kindhearted counterpart who serves as a servant of Kami (and later Dende), this iteration of Mr. Popo is a sadistic, misanthropic druggie who holds top command of the Lookout and revels in messing with the Z-Warriors and getting high.

Read about him in his own voice here.

---

• Actually Pretty Funny:
  • A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in Episode 7, he laughs in the background when Gohan agrees that Piccolo had the strongest power level on Earth.
  • In the deleted extended scene of Videl meeting Mr. Popo and Dende, Mr. Popo laughs when Videl asks if he's allowed and says he likes her, which just angers Dende more.
• Adaptational Badass: While Mr. Popo in canon was decently strong, being considerably stronger than young Goku after he killed King Piccolo as well as fending off both Trunks and Goten in their Super Saiyan forms, he's far from top tier, while here he's made out to be more powerful than Cell Saga Goku and Vegeta. This is made even more evident when he single-handedly prevents the Garlic Jr. Saga from happening, by effortlessly dragging Garlic Jr. and his minions in the F*ckbox when they try to put their plan in action. The Buu Bits further compounds this fact with most of the power that makes up the Super Spirit Bomb that kills Kid Buu being primarily from his energy at request of Dende instead of from everyone on Earth, and even then, it was only one hand's worth Popo willingly donated to Goku.
• Adaptation Species Change: In the original, he is a Genie. In DBZA, he is the older version of Dumplin, who is a Majin. Since "Majin" literally means "Genie", it also makes a surprising amount of sense.
• Adaptational Villainy: In the original series, he was a kindhearted Nature Lover who showed concern for his pupils. In this, he's an absurdly powerful and cartoonishly-evil psychopath that enjoys inflicting misery onto others because he can. That being said, he does seem to have retained the Nature Lover thing — Goku's flashback of first meeting Mr. Popo still has Mr. Popo feeding and being surrounded by wildlife, and Garlic Jr. ticks him off by trashing his garden.
• All-Powerful Bystander: Besides his ability to basically eat Garlic Jr, he can also literally make the sun come back after it goes nova, is Shenron's master, and, as he is a later version of Dumplin, is physically more powerful than any other character encountered so far in the series. The extent of his power was best displayed in the Buu Bits series of shorts where he was able to quadruple the size of Goku's Super Spirit Bomb after Dende recommended he step in after Earth's energy wasn't enough. Popo specified he'd only use one hand to contribute.
• Almighty Janitor: On paper, Mr. Popo is just the attendant of Earth's God (itself a rather low position in the cosmic pecking order), and the caretaker of Kami's Lookout. As you can see in the above trope, he is so much more powerful than his low position in the cosmic hierarchy would suggest. TeamFourStar would jokingly suggest that he's related to Zeno somehow due to their similar eyes.
• Answers to the Name of God: In an abridged scene in TotallyNotMark's original Dragon Ball review, when young Goku arrives at Kami's lookout for the first time he asks Mr. Popo if he's God. Mr Popo laughs before saying he's not the one Goku's looking for in a way that's less "I'm not the person you're looking for" and more "I'm not the God you're looking for".
• Berserk Button: It is implied the destruction of his personal property is one thing which can push him to go over the top and nasty to the purpotraitors. Goku, who before had gleefully tweaked Popo with his mispronounciations, panics in pant-pissing terror seeing the damage they did to the Hyperbolic Time chamber, repeating the phrase: "Don't break Popo's stuff."^note Sixth rule of Popo's training.
• Black Comedy Rape:
  Mr. Popo: I'm terrifying and a potential rapist. But I'll never say it flat out.
• Bond One-Liner: After getting rid of Garlic Jr., he tells Kami that the place is a mess because he had just had some Italian for dinner — since there was nothing but Garlic.
• Brutal Honesty: Tells Dende that he will receive neither gratitude nor visits upon becoming the Guardian of Earth.
• Character Catchphrase: Hiiiiii, Byyyyyye, and "Pecking order." — which are all used to lord his superiority and sadism.
• Characterization Marches On: Originally was just a creepy sadist. He later grew to be a more sarcastic stoner who genuinely cares about Kami, though he's still very much The Dreaded.
• Composite Character: He is essentially an Older and Wiser version of the protagonist from TFS' playthrough of the first Xenoverse game, Dumplin.
• Dark Is Evil: He's one of the scariest people in the show, enjoys the suffering of others, and despite being possibly the most powerful person on the show, doesn't lift a finger to stop the assorted villains from wreaking havoc unless that havoc just included his marijuana patch. He's nominally on the heroes' side. And Team Four Star does like to emphasize that his skin is dark:
  Krillin: [On Namek] Actually, what I meant to say was, when you make a wish on the Dragon Balls, the sky turns darker than the blackest void!
  Mr. Popo: [On Earth] Hmm?
• Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments:
  Kami: Mr. Popo... I believe... that Piccolo may have been slain.
  Popo: I think you'd know if he were. You still there?
  Kami: Yes.
  Popo: Then he ain't dead, is he, drama queen?
• Do Not Taunt Cthulhu:
  • He took offense to Chiaotzu's tribute to him in the form of a costume at the Halloween party. He responded by turning into the Cloverfield Monster and going on a rampage.
  • Also his patience for Goku's endless mispronunciations of "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" (which Goku semi-admits he's doing on purpose to irritate Mr. Popo) wore out fast, and ended with him drop-kicking Goku off the lookout.
  • He let Vegeta get away with calling him "black man" once. Only once.
• The Dreaded: When Goku, who has defeated foes with world-breaking power, and even the creators of the series fear you, you know are a badass. Even Bardock screams with horror seeing a vision of him despite having never heard of him before. People like Krillin do their best not to cross him because of his imposed "Pecking Order".
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: "Shut up maggots!" and "All right, maggots, listen up!"
• Establishing Character Moment: His reaction to finding out that he's getting new people to train is to laugh maniacally. His first actual action is to kick Krillin off of Kami's Lookout after explaining The Pecking Order.
  Mr. Popo: Enjoy the climb back up, BITCH!
• Even Evil Has Standards: He would never torture... cats.
• Evil Laugh: Done thrice. One when Kami told him Mr. Popo would be training Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, and two, when he saw Tien and Yamcha dying, in his training, and three during the Halloween Special when he turned into the Cloverfield monster.
• Evil Mentor: To the Z-Fighters during the Saiyan Saga (though he was more of a Drill Sergeant Nasty at the time) and later on to Dende, though the latter's snarky demeanor endears him to Popo faster than any of the others.
• Eviler than Thou: Kills Garlic Jr. before his arc even begins. Though the revelation that he's Dumplin means that he likely just absorbed him and sent him to the F*ckbox, which given Garlic Jr.'s time in the Dead Zone is arguably worse than killing him.
• Extreme Omnisexual: A given seeing how he's Dumplin, the character from Team Four Star's Let's Play of Dragon Ball Xenoverse. During the course of their playthrough, TFS repeatedly state that Dumplin is omnisexual.
• Fallen Hero: Now that Team Four Star has made it canon that Dumplin becomes/became Mr. Popo, he's this. That is, if Dumplin could be considered a hero.
• Flanderization: Originally, Mr. Popo's demeanor and the terror he caused was just based off the fact he was able to briefly defend himself from Super Saiyan Goten and Trunks, an impressive feat for a Non-Action Guy. But over the years, Popo's gone from "confident in his own strength" to Eldritch Abomination that has a certified Story-Breaker Power that could wipe out most any enemy if he felt like it.
• For the Evulz: There's no need for Mr. Popo to torment the heroes, so it certainly seems he's like this half the time. The other half, they've just annoyed him. The reason he left Vegeta in the time chamber after muting the time-dialation?
  Mr. Popo: Because f**k him.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: As Kaiser Neko found out. And so did convention goers at an 18+ event.
• The Gloves Come Off: In the Buu Bits, Mr. Popo finally gets involved physically in some capacity by lending his power to Goku to help defeat Kid Buu upon Dende's request, which causes the Spirit Bomb to expand nearly four times its original size in an instant.
• God of Evil: Holds the title of Demon God. He got it by killing the previous Demon God, Demigra.
• Good Counterpart: Blue Popo. He doesn't last long.
• Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die: His last words before sending the Z-Warriors off to fight the Saiyans amounts to this.
  Mr. Popo: You're all going to die.
• Greater-Scope Villain: He's the most sinister villain so far, even capable of killing someone immortal and having Shenron as his underling, but, given the source material (not to mention his entire personality being able to be summed up as Adaptational Villainy), he is not, and never will be, the primary antagonist. He's an occasional Token Evil Teammate at most.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: In Episode 40, after Kami tries to calm him down whilst he's in the middle of an LSD freakout;
  Mr. Popo: Kami, I need you to tell me that I can leave the lookout if I want to!
  Kami: Mr. Popo, you may leave the lookout if you-
  Mr. Popo: BITCH, DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
• Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Mr. Popo's evil and sociopathy is always played for laughs. Granted, the sociopathy got toned down somewhat during the course of the Android and Cell sagas.
• Hero of Another Story: Word of God has stated that Dumplin of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse Let's Play is a younger version of this continuity's Mr. Popo.
• Hidden Depths: It's implied that he respects others if they're willing to go against beings way outside of their weight class for reasons other than arrogance. He actually shows some benevolence to Tien, who nearly killed himself with a continual stream of Kikoho's and mouthed off to Cell right before he would have been killed, and Dende, who mouthed off to Mr. Popo for threatening to use a hated nickname, and (in a deleted scene) Videl, whose shocked question of if he was allowed made him laugh, much to Dende's dismay. Contrast this with what he does to Vegeta, who insulted Mr. Popo after being warned against it, and Goku, who pressed his luck by doing his normal Malaproper schtick on purpose. Even Goku usually gets a pass since he finds him endearing.
• Horrifying the Horror: It's rather vague, but even he seems to fear Cell, before the latter reaches his Perfect form.
• Humanoid Abomination: Let's put it this way: He gave King Kai a psychic concussion merely by trying to establish contact via telepathy on him, he has a truly terrifying amount of power behind him, considering he recreated the sun after Goku used it to kill Cooler nonchalantly (Something even Whis doesn't have the power to do in canon.) and finally, there's what he did to Garlic Jr.
• Jerkass: He frequently torments the Z-Fighters for no better reason than because it amuses him.
• Jerkass Has a Point: He saw no reason to bring up the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to the Z-Fighters to train against the Saiyans or the Androids because, given how they'd likely wouldn't have survived, it would just be a wasted effort, since Goku as a kid nearly died in there.
• Jerk Justifications: He's a massive dick to all of his allies. Of course, given his backstory as the Time Patroller Dumplin, his apathy is somewhat understandable as it's what's absolutely necessary for the timeline to proceed normally, which is what he was hired to do in the first place.
• Karma Houdini: He gets away with just about everything he does. As if anyone could stop him.
• Kryptonite Factor: While he is the most feared character on the show, he's still vulnerable to drugs like the rest of us. Episode 40 can attest to that, although it's a somewhat limited definition of vulnerable, as 10 milligram of LSD is believed to be the lethal dose for humans and Mr. Popo did an entire gallon jug and only had a bad trip and a freakout to show for it.^note A milligram is a unit used to measure mass, and a gallon is used to measure volume, thus they're not directly comparable. But to give an idea of the difference between a milligram and a gallon: 1 milligram of water takes up exactly 1 cubic centimeter. According to UnitConversion.org, 1 gallon is equal to 3785.411784 cubic centimeters. Conversion rate will vary depending on the substance, but this does serve to give an idea of the difference between Mr. Popo's ability to deal with the drug and the normal human ability to do so, however.
• Large Ham: Mr. Popo certainly has moments when he's larger than life.
  Kami: Mr. Popo, I'm back and I-oh my me, what has happened to the lookout?!
  Mr. Popo: Oh don't mind this Kami, I just had a bit of Italian for dinner.
  Kami: What does that have to do with-
  Mr. Popo: 'CAUSE IT WAS NOTHIN' BUT GARLIC!
• Laughing Mad: When putting Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu through a near death experience and later as the Cloverfield monster.
• Lighter and Softer: Over the course of the show, he's increasingly played for laughs rather than horror...though he still has his moments. Just ask Garlic Jr.
• Madness Mantra: Upon consuming a gallon of LSD, he begins freaking out at the floor tiles on Kami's lookout.
  Mr. Popo: All these squares make a circle, all these squares make a circle, all these squares make a circle...
• Morality Pet:
  • He's rather fond of Kami, ranking him and him alone above his fecal matter in the "pecking order" and generally acts far more friendly towards him than anyone else. Their shared love of pot may be part of why this is.
  • After Piccolo absorbs Kami, he seems to have moved on to Goku. While Mr. Popo still scares Goku shitless and Mr. Popo can only take so much of Goku's antics, he does give Goku several chances to stop, which is more generous then he is with most. He also cleans Goku's clothes, feeds him, and even considers him "endearing".
  • Dende is revealed to also developed into this to an even greater extent than Kami due to his indifference to his power as shown in the Buu Bits, with him even managing to have Popo actually get involved even to a minimal capacity to save the world by loaning his power directly to Goku to defeat Buu at Dende's request.
• Multiple-Choice Past: Although Word of God says that he is Dumplin, Goku implies in the Popo the Genie song that Mr. Popo is evil given physical form. He also claims that Mr. Popo suggested that he was undead. They specifically cited both the trope name and the Joker himself while saying this.
• Mundane Utility: Used the sculpture used to create dragons as a paperweight.
• Nature Lover: Hinted. Goku's flashback of first meeting Mr. Popo still has him feeding and being surrounded by wildlife, and Garlic Jr. ticks him off by trashing his garden. He also doesn't torture... cats.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: He is a stoner, God's attendee and what nightmares are made of.
• Nominal Hero: He wants to lay waste to the humans at one point and doesn't really care about saving the world since he lets the Z-Fighters do it for him.
• Oh, Crap!:
  • While completely and utterly out of his mind on a literal gallon of LSD at the time, Mr. Popo seemed somewhat freaked out by Kami's dire warning about Cell. Interestingly, he seemed to have this reaction to Piccolo's arrival, too.
  • As Semi-Perfect Cell is about to end the collapsed Tienshinhan, exhausted from his constant use of Kikohou to pin the former down, it's pretty clear that Mr. Popo's expression of "HE DEAD!" has a tinge of terror in it.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • As mentioned in Oh, Crap!, he definitely seemed put out by Cell turning up.
  • He's noticeably less snarky and confrontational in Episode 45. He calmly explains how the Hyperbolic Time Chamber works and only insults the group twice. Goku even notes this trope and is concerned about Mr. Popo as a result. See Pet the Dog below.
  • Mr. Popo in general is far more serious and volatile between Kami's abandonment of the physical plane when he fuses with Piccolo and Dende's ascension to the throne of God.
• Orcus on His Throne: He could have dealt with the either the Saiyan or Freeza sagas by himself, but didn't feel like it.
• Our Genies Are Different: Master Roshi offhandedly calls him "the scary genie."
• Pet the Dog:
  • When asked by Shenron if it was time to lay waste to the Earth, he decided to give the humans a couple more centuries to clean up the planet. Of course, he was high as balls at the time, which may have had something to do with it.
  • Also, he replaces the sun willingly after it is accidentally blown up by Goku in Revenge of Cooler.
  • According to the pecking order, the Z-Warriors (and likely everyone else in the universe) are below the dirt, which is the next most pitiful thing to him. Who is the only exception to this order? Kami. Granted, he's still below Mr. Popo, but he's higher than everyone else, including Popo's stool. ^note Although he was high on a gallon of LSD at the time, he addressed Piccolo as "Young Kami"; that's much better than what he calls anyone else that isn't Kami, and technically accurate too. It seems Piccolo shares Kami's spot on the pecking order.
  • In Episode 45, Mr. Popo is acting withdrawn and melancholic, to the point that Goku asks him what's wrong. Though he doesn't say it out loud, it turns out it's because he misses Kami.
  • In Episode 55, despite Vegeta angering him outright, he merely decides to bean him off the lookout, which is an undeniably more merciful punishment compared to the last person who got him flat out angry. Of course... the next thing he does to Vegeta is allow him to unknowingly drive himself insane, needlessly, in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
    • In the same episode he tells Goku he finds him endearing, albeit in a rather backhanded manner.
  • Also, the only reason he doesn't crack Goku for the "Mr. P" quip is because he still considers him "endearing".
  • Seems to get along with Dende in Episode 56, though this could just be a case of Villain Respect.
  • In the Buu Bits, he agrees to give his energy for Goku's Spirit Bomb against Kid Buu (but only one hand).
• Physical God: Goku blew up the sun in Revenge of Cooler. Mr. Popo put it back. Furthermore, he's an older version of Dumplin from the team's Xenoverse playthrough, who eventually becomes a Demon God.
• Politically Incorrect Villain:
  • Considers women to be dumber than men (or at least dumber than himself).
  • Blue Popo is a more racially sensitive replacement to Mr. Popo, due to having blue skin instead of black. Black Mr. Popo responded about as well as you'd imagine.
• Pragmatic Villainy: His biggest dislike appears to be incompetence. He clearly has no problem abusing the less useful members of the cast, and knows full well what he's doing to people at all times. He also rarely abuses Goku, the strongest in the cast, and only does so when Goku annoys him, while the rest of the Z-Warriors may be abused at any point they open their mouth. With that in mind, it's safe to say Tien can be added to the list of those who've earned his respect, judging by his terrified Oh, Crap! when the exhausted Tien is about to be killed by Semi-Perfect Cell. A constant barrage of Kikohou is definitely not incompetence, after all.
• Sadist Teacher: Heavy emphasis on the sadist part given that he kicks Krillin off the lookout for asking questions after asking everyone if they had any questions.
• Scary Black Man: Subverted. Mr. Popo is very scary and very black, but he does not really correspond to any real-world ethnicity. Vegeta paid for making that mistake^note Of course, there's a chance that Vegeta calling him black man ticked him off..
• Silence, You Fool!: Usually whenever Krillin speaks.
  Krillin: [excited] You mean you can help get our friends back—?!
  Mr. Popo: [sky turns red] Shut up, maggot.
  Krillin: [sheepishly] Yes, sir!
• Start of Darkness: Thanks to a fan theory made canon the Dragon Ball Xenoverse Lets Play has become this. Dumplin is a young Mr. Popo, before he got all his demon god powers honed and refined.
• The Stoner: Apparently the only way Kami keeps him even slightly under control. It's taken to exaggerated levels in Episode 40 when it turns out he drank an entire gallon of LSD. Kami's not even sure how Mr. Popo even got it since he never leaves the lookout.
  Mr. Popo: I'm so f***ing high right now!
• Story-Breaker Power:
  • Mr. Popo's Adaptational Badass status is so ridiculous to the point where nothing in the entire run of the show can top his strength, so in order to preserve drama and tension, he's kept in check by his own apathy, or by getting high, meaning he only acts from the sidelines. The few times he directly interferes and shows off his powers, he manages to stop the entire Garlic Jr. arc from happening and majorly contributes to destroying Kid Buu.
  • Even his own property acts as this. His soul-fueled magic carpet could've gotten Goku to the Saiyans faster in Season 1, and saved Piccolo from dying in time, preventing the whole Namek saga... but he chose not to lend it to Goku, prioritizing his toast.
• Tranquil Fury: His reaction to Vegeta calling him "black man" is to close his eyes, sigh irritably, and then it cuts to Vegeta screaming and on a collision course with the Earth below.
• Token Evil Teammate: Before Vegeta showed up, he was the most evil member on the team. He probably still is, though he manages to be more sympathetic.
• Took a Level in Kindness: As much as someone like him can him can gain, at least. He "only" knocks Vegeta off the lookout for calling him "Black Man" one time too many. This is very tame compared to what he did to Garlic Jr.. Likewise, while he still triggers Goku's sheer fear of him, it's not as instantaneous a reaction as before.
• Troll: As Dende points out, he really likes screwing with people.
  • Popo's training regimen for the Z-Fighters didn't need to be so brutal and terrifying, but he did it that way because he thought it was hilarious.
  • He slows down the time disparity in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber so one day inside was one day outside before Vegeta goes inside it.
  • He altered Shenron's powers so that while he could do huge things like resurrect everyone killed by Cell, he couldn't turn androids back into humans, just because.
• Villainous Friendship: Forms one with Dende when he stands up to him after Mr. Popo calls him "Little Green".
  Mr. Popo: Well, I'm going to call you "Little Green".
  Dende: Your funeral.
  Mr. Popo: [his stoic frown twists into a Slasher Smile] I like you.
  • Downplayed with The Slender Man. Slender Man lives inside Mr. Popo (Presumably in some part of the Fuck Box) and pays him rent, according to Word of God. They have more of a roommate sort of relationship.
• Villain Respect: When Videl meets him during the Buu Bits, her unapologetically confronting the Unfortunate Implications towards his appearance without the typical level of fear is enough to earn his immediate respect and declare that he "likes her" with a hearty laugh, much to Dende's increasing exasperation.
• "The Villain Sucks" Song: Goku has a song about Popo set to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman", meant to explain to Gohan how terrifying and evil he is. And Popo knows they're singing about him.
• When He Smiles: A creepy iteration of the trope. After Kami fuses with Piccolo, he stops smiling and acts more despondent than usual. As soon as Dende shows that he has a spine when he takes Kami's place, he—quite literally—cracks a smile and admits that he has respect for him.

Kami

"I've been the guardian for over 300 years. I've seen wars, sickness, death, and worse, all the while trapped on this lookout, unable to interact with the outside world for more than moments at a time."

Voiced by: Brandon "Vegeta3986" Rainsford, Scott "KaiserNeko" Frerichs^note Was a stand-in in episode 6 (Season 1), Joshua "Remix" Gotay (Season 2-current)

Put simply, God. Or at least Earth's God; it's a kinda complicated matter. Having watched over humanity for ages, Kami is a wizened old Namekian who created the Dragon Balls long ago, a decision he regretted for quite some time. Kami in general is a very solemn/surly figure, this being the result of the life he led as God. He maintains a constant friendship with Mr. Popo, and has even smoked pot with the guy on occasion.

---

• Adaptation Deviation: In Cooler 2, he reveals that he has fond memories of Namek, indicating that the Nameless Namekian spent enough time on his birth planet for his fissures to retain some memory of it, as opposed to being sent off to Earth as a baby and having no concept of his kin, like Goku.
• Answers to the Name of God: Including replacing "God" with "me" in phrases. Guru also makes note of how him calling himself Kami is essentially this.
• The Bus Came Back: He makes his first physical appearance since fusing with Piccolo in Kai Abridged II.9.
• Characterization Marches On: In his earlier appearances—and especially the pre-Team Four Star Dead Zone Abridged—the main joke for Kami was that he was painfully old and spoke with an exaggerated wheeze. After his voice actor was replaced, he was given a more normal voice and was portrayed as a Deadpan Snarker. Kaiser justifies the change as it is difficult to portray a third-dimensional character with a wheezing old man voice.
• Conditioned to Accept Horror: From accepting Mr. Popo's pecking order as well as being nonplussed to Mr. Popo dropping a gallon of LSD, it's safe to say Kami is more or less used to working with him.
• Cool Old Guy: From Season 2 onward. He's one of the only elderly characters portrayed in a positive light.
• Deadpan Snarker: After he came back to life. Part 1 of Episode 30 has him throwing a lot of snark at King Kai. It makes sense when you remember that he is Piccolo's other half.
• Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: Smokes pot with Mr. Popo. Possibly the basis of their... friendship?
• Evil Me Scares Me: His outburst when Piccolo insists that they fuse implies that he's still wary of rejoining with his evil half that was once Demon King Piccolo.
  Piccolo: But if you don't fuse with me, the entire world you're guarding might be destroyed!
  Kami: (Angrily) MAYBE I’D RATHER IT BE DESTROYED THAN EVER HAVE TO BE A PART OF YOU AGAIN!!!
• Hypocrite: When Piccolo requests Kami to fuse with him, one of the excuses he brings up is his job as Earth's God. Piccolo immediately calls him out on that, since a few years ago he tried to give the job to Goku as soon as he saw the chance to hop out.
• Hidden Depths: That weren't in the original. Before fusing with Piccolo, he talks about how powerless he's always felt, and about how his post as Guardian of the Earth has given him his only sense of agency in life.
• Locked Out of the Loop: In Cooler 2, he remembers his days spending time with the Albino Namekians. He's entirely unaware that Guru is responsible for their eradication.
• Morality Pet: He seems to be the only person Mr. Popo genuinely cares about. Although Mr. Popo has since shown a certain amount of tolerance for Goku and Episode 56 shows him reacting with surprising kindness when Dende tries to snark with him.
• No-Respect Guy: "You know, I am the Guardian of Earth. Can I please get a little more respect here?"
• Number Two: Right below Mr. Popo on the Pecking Order. Whether he's The Lancer or The Dragon depends on how you view Mr. Popo.
• Oh, My Gods!: Whenever he uses an exclamation where one would normally use "God", he will replace it with "Me", such as "Oh my Me!"
• Put on a Bus: Neither him nor Nail have any speaking roles during the Buu Bits. This is very likely due to Nail's voice actor having already left Team Four Star years prior.
• Retired Badass: The Z-Warriors go to receive training from Kami in preparation for fighting Vegeta and Nappa, but since he is "quite old", he leaves their training to Mr. Popo.
• Sophisticated as Hell:
  • While Kami is for the most part stern, stoic, and well spoken, there are times when he uses harsher language and words that seem jarring even for a deadpan snarker like him. In the Dead Zone movie there were more than a few lines where Kami uses more vulgar language and put-downs.
    Goku: Kami! Stay here and don't move!
    Kami: (Very clearly unable to move) I swear if I didn't know you any better I'd say you were being a smart-ass.
  • Kami gives Garlic Jr. a wicked burn after Garlic opens a portal to the Dead Zone.
    Garlic Jr.: This is the Dead Zone! The same dimension you banished my dear father to!
    Kami: So is this how he receives conjugal visits?!
    Garlic Jr.: Eat a dick you wrinkled, green dustbin!
• Selective Obliviousness: To Mr. Popo's more brutal tendencies. His later characterization seems to shift more towards being used to Mr. Popo's ways.
• The Stoner: Apparently. He says smoking pot helps with his glaucoma.
• Spared by the Adaptation: Like Nail, after fusing with Piccolo he continues to exist as a separate distinct consciousness inside Piccolo's head, unlike in canon where he's basically wiped from existence.
• The Spock: Of the Freudian Trio once he fuses with Piccolo.
• Vocal Evolution: Vegeta3986 originally voiced him with a very frail raspy voice, but after his resurrection Remix of WeeklyTubeShow voices him a deeper and more authoritative tone.

King Kai

"I swear to God if this is George Takei again, I'm gonna shove a brick up the Verizon guy's ass."

Voiced by: Scott "KaiserNeko" Frerichs

One of the many gods in the Dragon Ball universe, King Kai lives life peacefully on a planet roughly the size of Master Roshi's island with his monkey Bubbles, his cricket Gregory, and the imprisoned pirate Bojack. King Kai served as a mentor to Goku, training the latter in preparation for the Saiyan invasion and keeping in touch with Goku during his trip to Namek.

---

• Adaptational Badass: In the series proper, King Kai notes that Vegeta and Nappa are stronger than him and leaves it to the Z-fighters to take down the dead Ginyu Warriors to showcase his training regimen. Here he lays the smack down on the entire Ginyu squad (all but one of which are several magnitudes more powerful than Nappa and Saiyan Saga Vegeta) by himself. In an offscreen Curb-Stomp Battle.
• Adaptational Jerkass: In the series, he is a nice old man that loves his (bad) jokes, and while he gets reasonably angry by Goku's stupidity, he still has the patience of a saint. In abridged? A lonely jerk tired of everyone's constant stupidity, blatantly laughs at the misery of others (Bardock and Yamcha) and has very little patience, to the point he never taught Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, or Chiaotzu the Kaio-ken or the Genki Dama due to Yamcha mispronouncing his name. He's also a lot more pissed off when Goku gets him killed.
• The Aloner: He thinks he's this, but he's got plenty of (unwanted) company with Bubbles, Gregory, and Bojack.
• Berserk Button: Don't pronounce the "Kaio-Ken" as the "Kay-Oh-Ken". King Kai flips out when Yamcha does this.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Yamcha mispronounces the "Kaio-Ken", so he decides that nobody gets to learn it or the "Genki Dama".
  Tienshinhan: Freakin' weeaboo.
• Grumpy Old Man: He's rather crusty and notes that he's getting old on several occasions.
• Jerkass: To Gregory, Bubbles, and Bojack at least. He's pretty short with his supposed "students", too.
• Innocent Innuendo: He and the intended recipient of his psychic calls keep tripping up on occasion, resulting in George Takei piping in with an "Oh myyy!"
  • When Goku somehow disconnects, King Kai says he will ride Goku's ass for this.
  • When Goku talks about the Ginyus, he ends up tripping Takei. When he asks, King Kai states that Takei somehow turned this into a three way. CALL. THREE WAY CALL.
  • Piccolo, currently having the energy sucked out of him by Gero, ends up tripping Takei when he somehow connects to King Kai.
• Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: That said, he does genuinely care for them, especially Goku, or else why would he bother helping them?
• A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Mr. Popo's mind anyway. When King Kai tried to telepathically communicate with him he got a concussion. And that's while Mr. Popo's in a mellow mood due to being high as a kite. (Although who knows if that might explain why he got a concussion.)
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: King Kai beats up the entirety of the Ginyu Force by himself, though none of it is actually shown.
• Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: To the Ginyu Force, minus Ginyu himself: "Yeah, all of you can just go straight to Hell." Then he literally whoops their asses back to Hell.
• Racist Grandpa: After Bubbles calls him out for making a monkey-based insult, King Kai claims that as a god he doesn't view anyone as inferior based on their genes... then he mutters "Ya filthy macaque" under his breath.
• Surrounded by Idiots: Hates the fact the Z-Warriors are stuck on his planet and has to put up with Goku on a regular basis.
• Voice with an Internet Connection: Seems to be able to connect to the Internet with his antenna.

Super Kami Dende

"That's right, I'm your White Mage. And nobody. F**cks. With the White Mage."

Voiced by: Curtis "Takahata101" Arnott

A young Namekian boy who was saved from Freeza's genocide by Gohan and Krillin. Having not exactly lived the most peaceful life due to the chaos Freeza and Vegeta caused, he spends the Namek Saga terrified, traumatized, and surrounded by various violent (Vegeta), insane (Guru, Freeza), or idiotic (Krillin) figures. The result is that by the end of the saga he is jaded and just barely tolerating everyone's shit, with the exception of Gohan, who he genuinely likes, respects, and eventually develops a crush on.

He's later kidnapped by Goku to remake the Dragon Balls when Kami's fusion with Piccolo renders them inert, at which point Dende becomes snarkier and more upfront about his irritation with nearly everyone around him. After becoming Earth's new God, he declares himself Super Kami Dende, taking a page from the late Namekian Grand Elder's book.

---

• Accidental Misnaming: It's rather ironic for how he treats Krillin for calling him "Little Green" that he still calls Piccolo Nail (but then again, that isn't entirely wrong).
• Adaptational Badass: In the original show Dende was a scared kid who cowered before Vegeta and was pushed around by the Saiyan Prince. Here, he sasses and backtalks Vegeta to the point where Vegeta is unable to attack him in Episode 26, and later mocks Freeza to his face after screwing him over.
• Adaptational Consent: Canon Dende actually volunteered to be the new Guardian of Earth when Goku came to New Namek looking for a Namekian to fill the position. Here, Goku basically kidnaps him and he only begrudgingly accepts because it allows him to stay close to Gohan.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Is more abrasive than his canon counterpart, and shows signs of being Drunk with Power upon becoming the new Guardian of Earth.
• Adaptational Sexuality: In the source material it's implied that all Namekians are asexual as we don't see him or any other Namek show romantic interest or attraction for anyone. Here, he is into Gohan.
• Ambiguously Bi: Dende has a crush on Gohan, and expresses a desire to "nestle inside" Bulma's boobs. The latter could just be alien curiosity, however.
• Anguished Declaration of Love: To Gohan who, as of the "Buu Bits," is on track to end up in a relationship with Videl.
• Berserk Button: He hates being called "Little Green". His reactions vary from Tranquil Fury to Violent Rage depending on who pushes said button^note But considering that Shenron referred him as "Big Green" in episode 60 it may actually be he just hates being called little.
• The Bus Came Back:
  • At the end of The Return of Cooler's Revenge, coinciding with his canonical return to Earth in the main series.
  • Comes back in the main series proper in Episode 56 when Goku brings him from New Namek.
• Character Catchphrase: "Hey" in Kai 2. Also "My name is Dende" in the main series.
• Characterization Marches On: He goes from Creepy Child with a monotone to a snarky Bratty Half-Pint who belittles everyone.
  • On Namek he's confused by Bulma's breasts but professes his desire to "nestle between them." By the time he becomes the new Kami, he's openly gay to the point of complaining when Gohan brings two girls to the Lookout (even though one of them is Trunks.)
• Crazy Jealous Guy: According to Takahata101’s Creator Commentary, Dende’s reaction to Videl if they had reached the Buu Saga would be attempting to get her away from Gohan by claiming there’s no girls allowed on the Lookout.
  • Come the "Buu Bits", Dende starts treating Videl well, right before Videl mentions that she is friends with Gohan. Dende starts getting jealous that Gohan has a friend who is his age, female, and "normal-colored skin," and doesn't appreciate Videl's attempts to argue that he's being hard on himself. Upon meeting Mr. Satan, Dende says to his face that Videl is a man-stealing whore.
• Creepy Monotone: For much of the Namek saga he generally kept a flat tone. Averted upon his return to the Cell saga, where every line is dripping with anger, passive-aggressiveness, or when speaking with Gohan, flirting.
• Deadpan Snarker: His monotone voice lets him dish out sass to Krillin, Vegeta, and even Freeza.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?:
  • After making the wish to bring everyone on Namek save for Freeza and Goku to Earth, he reveals this fact to Freeza and taunts him about it, vanishing right before Freeza's attack can hit him.
  • When Mr. Popo said how he will call Dende Little Green, he responded with "Your funeral." Amazingly enough, this seemed to impress or amuse him.
• Disproportionate Retribution: He tells Freeza that Krillin and Gohan are from Earth as payback for Krillin calling him "Little Green".
• Distracted by the Sexy: He was initially panicked when Goku brought him to Earth from New Namek, until he saw Gohan.
• The Dog Bites Back: Immediately after resurrection, he screws Freeza over, using Porunga's final wish to send everyone brought back to life to Earth, but not before taunting Freeza.
  Dende: Whatcha gonna do about it? Come at me, bro!
• Dramatic Irony: He dubs himself Super Kami Dende, despite having been understandably terrified and annoyed by Guru, who liked to use the same title.
• Drunk with Power: He goes a bit... off after becoming Kami.
• Embarrassing Nickname: "Little Green". After Krillin keeps calling him that, it becomes his Berserk Button. Although, considering Shenron calls him "Big Green" with no complaint, it's more likely he dislikes being called little.
• Flanderization: In Season 2, his attraction to Gohan was only revealed at the very last minute. By the time he shows up in Season 3, it's his defining character trait.
• Height Angst: Episode 60 implies this, as Shenron calls him "Big Green" and is on much better terms with him than most others, indicating his issue with the nickname "Little Green" was being called little.
• Incompatible Orientation: He loves Gohan but, at least in the main series, Gohan's straight.
• Jerkass Gods: Embraces this trope the moment he becomes one. He even shows some signs of becoming a second Guru, insisting Krillin call him "Super Kami Dende".
• Jerkass Has a Point: His rage at being kidnapped to be Kami is at least somewhat justified, given he was suddenly whisked to Earth without being asked and then given a lifelong commitment. His beating of Krillin is also understandable considering how many times Krillin was told that Dende didn't like the nickname "Little Green", only for Krillin to obliviously keep using it. It's likely Krillin never would've gotten the hint otherwise.
• Killed Mid-Sentence: Right when he's telling Vegeta how nobody screws with the White Mage, he is killed by Freeza, who decided to Shoot the Medic First.
• Laser-Guided Karma:
  • Does this to Vegeta in Episode 26 by refusing to heal Vegeta as payback for the Namekians Vegeta murdered.
  • His own death at Freeza's hands could qualify, what with his Revenge Before Reason and Disproportionate Retribution.
• Madden Into Misanthropy: Watching his people die, along with finding himself working with Vegeta (who killed a considerable portion of them) and Krillin (who refuses to call him Dende) does not do good things for him.
• Nice Guy: Describes himself as such. Though it's said with a heaping pile of sarcasm.
• Not in This for Your Revolution: The only reason he's helping Earth and the Z-Warriors is because he's infatuated with Gohan.
• Odd Friendship: With Mr. Popo and Shenron. He gets to the former by being less fearful of him than anybody else and openly telling him it's his funeral to call him "Little Green," and the latter by sharing Popo's weed stash with him.
• Oh, My Gods!: Much like Kami above, after becoming Earth's God he at one point shouts "Me damn it!" in frustration.
• Related Differently in the Adaptation: Mouri is Dende’s father in this version. In the original version, all Namekians on the planet at the time were Guru and his offspring, so Mouri was Dende’s brother, as was Nail.
• Rescue Romance: Gohan saved him from Dodoria when they first met, and Dende fell in love with him later.
• The Stoner: Once Mr. Popo reveals his stash, Dende is eager to get started. He also gets Shenron hooked on it, according to episode 60's breakdown.
• Tempting Fate: Apparently, no one told Freeza that "nobody f$#!s with the White Mage". Or rather, he learned that you always Shoot the Medic First.
• Took a Level in Jerkass:
  • Dende took MASSIVE levels of jerkass-itude in Episode 25:
    • He betrayed Gohan and Krillin by revealing that they're from Earth. Why? Because his name is "Dende".
    • While he healed Krillin after he got stabbed in the chest, he also told him he was immortal, possibly under the hopes that Freeza would kill him while serving as a distraction. It fails, but still...
    • He does respect Gohan, though, so it's clear his behavior is largely just retaliation for Krillin's ignorance.
  • When he is teleported to the lookout, he treats everyone but Gohan with pure contempt. This is understandable since Goku basically kidnapped him with teleportation, but he's even hostile to Piccolo now, who admitted aloud that he missed Dende. When Krillin tries to call him "Little Green" again, Dende angrily strikes him and demands to be called Super Kami Dende. Mr. Popo on the other hand, is actually impressed by his attitude.
  • He's marginally nicer to Videl... until the exact moment he discovers she's friends with Gohan, and assumes (without evidence, but correctly) that they're attracted to each other. Then he instantly hates her forever.
• Undying Loyalty: Despite being understandably pissed for being effectively kidnapped and press-ganged into assuming the mantle of Kami, he willingly accepts because it would help Gohan.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Not only does he show no gratitude to Krillin for saving and protecting him from Freeza and his forces, he actually reveals the identity of his home planet Earth to Freeza and tries to use the Butt-Monkey as a distraction to lure Freeza away. All because he kept calling him "Little Green".
• Vocal Evolution: His one line at the end of Return of Cooler Abridged sounds slightly deeper and more emotive. Justified since this was about the time in the actual show where he was going through puberty. This continues to his proper return in Episode 56.
• White Mage: He has healing abilities, and even references himself as "the white mage" during the Namek saga.
• Yandere: Downplayed. Dende is clearly unable to hide how attracted he is to Gohan to the point that it's a bit creepy. He even implies in Episode 60 that if Gohan doesn't visit the lookout, he'll hold him captive in one of the rooms there.
  Gohan: Are you going to stay here on the lookout Mr. Piccolo?
  Piccolo: I mean, that's up to Dende
  Dende: Are you gonna visit us Gohan?
  Gohan: All the time!
  Dende: Then yes, we have a room for you, Nail.

Nail

"Lord Guru, sir..."

Voiced by: Ben "Hbi2k" Creighton (Season 1-3)

A Namekian who serves as the right-hand man of Super Kami Guru. Always forced to put up with Guru's eccentric nonsense, he often ranges from suffering in silence to snapping at others (Guru included) with a few snarks up his sleeve. During the Namek Saga, he fuses with Piccolo to give him a power boost, and has been living in his head ever since.

---

• Allergic to Routine: Possibly, but it could be a result of working for Lord Guru for so long. After fusing with Piccolo, he's constantly looking for ways to entertain himself either by frustrating Piccolo or just messing around.
• Ascended Extra: Unlike in the original series, here Nail retains a mind separate from Piccolo even after fusing bodies, letting him continue as a sort of recurring character.
• Beleaguered Assistant: He was apparently Guru's assistant for most of his life. Guru has done his level best to make that task as miserable and annoying an experience as possible. Ironically, he has a tendency to annoy the hell out of Piccolo by piping in at inconvenient times.
• Butt-Monkey: Guru makes him do some disgusting stuff.
  Guru: Nail! I have a bitch of an itch on my left ass cheek!
  Guru: So I said, 'I don't care WHO you are! Now clean my JOWLS!' And that was Nail's first day on the job.
• Casual Danger Dialogue: He has a tendency to do this, especially in the Freeza fight. Piccolo soon becomes annoyed by it.
• Characterization Marches On: Becomes the complete opposite of his original characterization after fusing with Piccolo. Justified, because Guru was unbearable to work with, giving Nail plenty of exasperation, whereas Piccolo is far more serious than either of them. In short, Nail is sane compared to Guru, but Piccolo plays the Straight Man to Nail.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: His fight with Freeza proves that older isn't always better.
• Deadpan Snarker: He was quite happy when Vegeta showed up, because it meant he could let off some steam in a bit of Snark-to-Snark Combat.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Nail and Guru make a cameo in Episode 5 to demonstrate a place duller than King Kai's planet.
  Nail: Oh, God, this is so horribly dull! I hope something exciting happens around here soon, I don't care what it is!
• Good Thing You Can Heal: It lets him easily bounce back from injuries like having an arm torn off. Unfortunately for Nail, Freeza decides to have some fun with this by repeatedly tearing off Nail's arms every time he regrows one.
• It Has Been an Honor: After Piccolo is apparently mortally wounded by Cell and his body is sinking into the ocean, Nail's says this to Piccolo and Kami. It would have been his last words had Goku not saved them all.
• Non-Action Snarker: Becomes this after fusing with Piccolo. Being a disembodied voice in someone's head doesn't exactly allow one to get in on a fight.
• Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: Before Freeza, he felt this way about life on Namek. Even something as simple as an argument and some snarkery with Vegeta made him enthusiastic because it was so much more interesting than the normal boredom of his life.
• Older Is Better: Subverted; Guru mentions in his Rousing Speech to Nail that the latter was "trained in the ancient way" making it sound like a badass advantage. In actuality Nail doesn't stand a chance, but he might have if Guru had trained him in the "new way" that is apparently better.
• Only Sane Man: Up until he fused with Piccolo, he was the stern and dignified bodyguard of Guru, which meant dealing with Guru's strange moments and being the voice of reason. Once he no longer needed to do so, he embraced his more comedic side.
• Phrase Catcher: "Shut up, Nail."
• Put on a Bus: Neither him nor Kami have any speaking roles during the Buu Bits. This is very likely due to his voice actor having already left Team Four Star years prior.
• Servile Snarker: He rarely snarked to Guru, but has quite a sharp tongue with everyone else.
• Sharing a Body: With Piccolo and also Kami.
• Spared by the Adaptation: Sort of. In the original series, outside of a cameo in Super, Nail effectively ceases to exist as fusing with Piccolo subsumed his personality and existence. Here, he survives albeit as basically a spectator well past the Freeza Saga.
• Those Two Guys: With Kami once the latter moves into Piccolo's head with him.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Became far less grumpy and much more social upon fusing with Piccolo.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: The original canon had it that Guru and the offspring hatched from his eggs were the entirety of Namek’s population at the time they were introduced, making Nail brothers with Dende and Mouri. In this version, Guru was not the Sole Survivor of Namek’s calamity and there’s no indication that Nail is directly related to any of the Namekians we see.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Seems to be developing this with Piccolo.
• Weaksauce Weakness:
  • Whistling causes him intense pain, even when he's actually living inside someone else's head.
  • Having super-sensitive hearing while inside the head of a guy with no indoor voice can also have its downsides.

Super Kami Guru

"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL!!!"

Voiced by: Curtis "Takahata101" Arnott

The Grand Elder of the planet Namek, and the creator of its own set of Dragon Balls. Unlike the benevolent grand elder seen in canon, this iteration of Guru is a Caligula of a ruler full of oddities and non-sequiturs.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: Like Mr. Popo, he is morally the complete opposite of Guru in the actual show. Beyond which, Lord Slug is his good half. He is, in fact, so evil that he ends up in HFIL alongside other villains, including Cell and Freeza.
• Asshole Victim: Especially after his revelation of what really happened to cause the Great Drought.
• Bad Boss: He routinely insults Nail, when he's not ordering him to do trivial things just to waste his time. Additionally, he deliberately trained Nail wrong and sent him to be killed by Freeza knowing he would be killed. As a leader for the Namekians as a whole, he drank their water supply and blamed it on the Albino Namekians, convincing the others to kill them all.
• The Caligula: Thinks nothing of his people, is greedy and gluttonous, and is also a dark example of a Cloudcuckoolander in charge of a planet.
• Call My Name: NAAAAAAAIL!!!
  • This actually results in a brick joke at one point where Krillin calls Nail "Big Green". Less than a moment later, Guru is shouting for "Big Green!"
• Cloudcuckoolander:
  Guru: I saw a bird. It was pretty. Kick its ass.
  Guru: Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you. Party pooper. Party pooper.
  Guru: (humming the 60's Batman theme) Nana, Nana, Nana, Nana Dende. Nana, Nana, Nana, Nana Dende. Dende. Dende. Naaaail.
• Contrived Coincidence: He kills himself stopping his own heart rather than dying of grief as in canon. Later, his heart happens to start up again right when all of Freeza's victims were revived by Shenron, even though the wish didn't apply to him.
• Dare to Be Badass: Gives a speech like this to Nail in order to make him stand up to Freeza. Turns out he wasn't being sincere.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Both his deaths are different than in canon.
  • For the first death, Guru dies due to the heartbreak of his people and home being slaughtered and decimated by Freeza and his men. Here, he essentially commits suicide to be a dick.
  • The way Guru's second death occurs is a lot more gruesome than how he dies in canon. In canon, he passes away of natural causes, but here, he is completely torn to shreds and eaten by the other Namekians.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Gives us a preview of his quirks in Episode 5.
  Guru: I saw a bird. It was pretty. Kick its ass.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: When Freeza makes a crack about a slug, Guru exclaims "Leave my brother out of thiiis!" as Slug is his brother and a senile nutcase could interpret the statement Freeza made as a threat toward him.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Going by his scenes with Gohan and Freeza, he seems to draw the line at child molestation and judging people by their appearances. Not above using a Mind Screw on the former though.
• Eviler than Thou: In the Lord Slug movie, he's revealed to be this toward the titular villain.
• Evil Is Petty: He kills himself just because it'd be a dick move for him to die at that moment. He also drank all of Namek's water, then pinned the blame on the Albino Namekians, leading to their total extinction, because he was thirsty.
• Evil Old Folks: Though at this point, due to being a Retired Monster, his evilness is limited to pettiness.
• Evil Overlord: Of Namek. It's certainly better off without him in charge.
• Evil Twin: In the Lord Slug movie, The Stinger reveals that he shares this relationship with the titular villain. That is, Guru is the evil half.
• Fantastic Racism: Against the Albino Namekians. "Kill it like the rest." Somewhat justified in that he had them wiped out to hide the fact that he caused the drought, not them. His racism towards humans on the other hand? Nah, that's just Guru being a dick.
• Fat Bastard: Morbidly obese because he caused a drought by drinking all the fresh water on the planet, and a half senile, evilly petty despot.
• A Father to His Men: Subverted. He admitted that he didn't like any of his people. He did admit to liking one of them. Then a Dragon Ball falls down and crushes the one he likes. Which causes him to laugh.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Well rather the neighbor nobody likes in HFIL, as Cell and Raditz are not amused having him as their housemate, he's only included in Cell's team because he was late for the dodgeball game, and Cell pretty much ignores him after he got tipped over.
  Raditz: And say hello to our other housemate.
  Guru: Hello other new Naaaaaaaiiiillll!
  Cell: Kill me.
  Raditz: Way past that, buddy.
• Gotta Kill Them All: Only a brief second after seeing Krillin and mistaking Krillin for an Albino Namekian, he then demands that Krillin be killed "like the rest" of the Albino Namekians. Even after Krillin reveals who he is, he STILL tells Nail to kill him. Luckily Nail isn't stupid and tries to inform Guru that Krillin is there to help.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: When he thinks he's dying for real, he confesses to his people that he tricked them into thinking the Albino Namekians caused a nearly apocalyptic drought, pushing his people to commit genocide against them, because, in his own words, he wanted to die with a clear conscience. Unfortunately for him, he's not actually dying...so his people brutally slaughter him instead.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Amazingly inverted when he senses that Krillin, Gohan, and Dende have summoned Porunga. He comments that it would be a reeeeeeaaaaaaal dick move to die right then, and then stops his heart. This however, still manages to work in the Z Warriors favor, since Vegeta was in the middle of wishing for immortality, which probably wouldn't have turned out well in the long run.
• Hypocritical Humour: He decides that Kami is a "pretentious prick" for calling himself "God"...and then decides to rename himself Super Kami Guru.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk:
  • Revealed as a colossal one when he encourages Nail to fight Freeza, telling him that he is "Namek's prodigal son". As it turns out, he is fully aware of how powerful Freeza is and that his assistant stands absolutely no chance of winning. Not to mention the fact that Super Kami Guru did not train him in the "New Way" that might have given him a chance of winning.
  • He dies simply because it would be "a real dick move" to kill the dragon off with him. Yes, that's right. Super Kami Guru pulled a Jerkass Sacrifice.
  • Caused the drought that nearly killed off every Namekian by drinking all of the water (How do you think he got so faaaaaat?!), and told the green Namekians that the Albino Namekians did it, leading to the genocide of the Albino Namekian race. Needless to say, the remaining Namekians (who feel guilty about the whole thing) did not let him go easily...
• Karma Houdini: Tried to invoke this by admitting he was the one that caused the drought and pinned the blame on the Albino Namekian race, just so he can die with a clear conscience. Subverted as he fails to do so, and gets utterly murdered by the rest of the Namekians in a way that horrifies Bulma, Gohan, Piccolo (possibly by extension, Nail) and Vegeta.
• Karmic Death: His people, who've been manipulated and abused by him, finally retaliate against him once the true extent his crimes are revealed. Moreso where we see he's in HFIL with the other major villains.
• Killed Off for Real: As in the original series. This time however, it isn't as peaceful and dignified as dying of old age. He does die peacefully in Kai Abridged Episode 2, using Nappa's line "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say".
• Monster Roommate: He becomes this to Raditz after he's sent to HFIL, and later Cell. It's implied that having to live with him is what broke Raditz.
• Never My Fault: When in HFIL, he claims that he was killed by "CANCEL CULTURE!" and not by the fact that his own crimes, chiefly among them facilitating and encouraging a genocide to cover up another crime of his, finally caught up with him.
• No Indoor Voice: Well, a hardly used one anyway.
• Non-Action Snarker: Was this to Freeza when he was dealing with Nail.
  Guru: Nail, what does he want?
  Nail: He's asking how to use the Dragon Balls!
  Guru: Did you tell him to work the shaft?
  Nail: Yes, Lord Guru!
  Guru: Good work, Nail.
  Freeza: I have the distinct impression you're going to be difficult.
  Nail: Well sir, if you're having a problem with our customer support, you can call 1-800-EAT-A-D*CK.
  Guru: We don't even have those!
• Not-So-Final Confession: He admits that it was actually him who caused the Great Drought, and then framed the Albino Namekians for it, leading to the genocide that was enacted on them. He expected his heart to give out after this revelation, but unfortunately for him it failed to happen, so he was still alive when his furious children decided to eat him in retaliation.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: One gets the impression that he's not as stupid as he looks and just acts that way to mess with people, especially Nail. This trait is even more pronounced in HFIL where he seems to be as senile and scatterbrained as he can, but suddenly becomes maliciously more eloquent the moment he decides to join Cell to take revenge on the Ginyus for tipping him over.
• Oh, Crap!: Upon realizing that he's not dying after he just admitted his sins. The Namekians made sure to fix that...
• Pet the Dog:
  • He does seem to care about his good half, Slug, as shown by his retort to Freeza "Leave my brother out of this" and when he writes Slug a letter mentioning Dragon Balls on Earth.
  • He gives Nail a sincere "Good job" for telling off Freeza.
  • In HFIL, he gives a genuinely polite "My Man!" to the manager who set up his security system for him.
• Plot Hole: Since he died on Namek due to suicide as a dick move and not due to heartbreak, he shouldn't have been brought back with the rest of Freeza and his forces' victims due to not falling in that category. However, his dialogue implies that he intentionally stopped his heart temporarily instead of outright killing himself.
• Regret Eating Me: Screams "Choke on them" as the Namekians devour him in retaliation for being the cause of the drought.
• Retired Monster: He's old, could die at any moment, and probably can't even walk anymore. That said, his genocide of the Albino Namekians is a legacy he's proud of.
• The Reveal: The purge against the Albino Namekians was ordered by Guru because he claimed that they caused the Great Drought, when in reality Guru caused the Drought by drinking up all the fresh water, which is how he became so fat. He reveals this as he is about to die, only to learn that he isn't dying yet, and the Namekians, horrified that they slaughtered thousands of innocent people, descend on Guru en masse.
• Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: He probably wasn't any more polite in his youth, though his age is a convenient excuse to be a dick. He's only gotten worse as of HFIL, since none of the other people in the "neighborhood" can kill him.
• Self-Applied Nickname: The "Super Kami" part of his name was simply tacked on because he heard about Kami. Only he calls himself "Super Kami Guru", while everybody else just calls him Guru, though he doesn't complain about it.
• Spanner in the Works: Unlike in canon, where Guru died of heartbreak to see the planet and his people being decimated just at the right moment to stop Vegeta from wishing for immortality, here he says it'd be a reeeeeeeeaaaaaaallll dick move to die after seeing Porunga appear, which would stop any more wishes from being granted, then immediately does that and stops his heart.
• Spiteful Suicide: When the Dragon Balls are summoned on Namek, he notes that it would be a real dick-move to die right then... and then he intentionally stops his heart.
• Stronger Than They Look: The fact that he ended up in HFIL as Raditz's, and later Cell's, housemate means that it's safe to say that he's also rather strong in his own right despite being a Lazy Bum and a Fat Bastard.
• Troll: He's fully aware that he's being a complete asshole to Nail and everyone else, and treats them in an intentionally inconsistent and infuriating manner just for his own amusement. He even kills himself at one point just to deny Vegeta his wish for immortality.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: In HFIL, since he doesn't need to put up a facade of kind and wise leader anymore (and nobody can kill him) Guru is just lazy, unhelpful and spiteful.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: In the original canon, Guru was the Sole Survivor of a cataclysmic climate shift on Planet Namek, and all other Namekians on the planet by the time Freeza arrives were his children hatched from eggs he spat out. In this version, he led the surviving Namekians when the planet was hit by the Great Drought that he caused, and the various Namekian villages are not all his offspring.
• Verbal Tic:
  • Often he'll speak and the volume crescendos over the course of a single sentence, to the point where he starts speaking it in a normal voice and is yelling by the EEEEEENNNNNNND!
  • Additionally, he also tends to drag out any word that ends with an "ail" sound, most notably Naaaaaaaail.
• Villainous Glutton: Turns out he caused the Great Drought by drinking all the fresh water on Namek, then blamed it on the Albino Namekians.
• Weakened by the Light: As shown in Episode 22, though presumably due to being indoors for so long, compared to most examples.
  Guru: Oh, God, NATURAL LIGHT!
• Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: In HFIL Episode 3, since he was the last player standing in the dodgeball game, he is the winner... even after spending the entire game just sitting around sleeping, as the rest of the villains try and knock each other out.

Mr. Satan

"Now you're thinkin' like a Satanist, Jimmy!"

Voiced by: Anthony "Antfish" Sardinha

After Krillin and Yamcha missed a Tenkaichi Budōkai in favor of training to fight Dr. Gero's Androids, Mr. Mark Satan ended up becoming champion. A highly-popular celebrity with a noticeable ego, he volunteers to participate in the Cell Games on behalf of humankind.

---

• Adaptational Name Change: His name in both canon and Abridged is Mark, with "Mr. Satan" ("Hercule" in the Funimation dub) being stage names. When Nappa first shows him to Vegeta, he calls him "Mark Satan," making Satan his real surname in Abridged.
• Adaptational Heroism:
  • A downplayed example. In both the original and Abridged show, he helps save the day by throwing Android #16's head over to Gohan, which leads to the latter achieving Super Saiyan 2, but the reasoning differs. In DBZ he does it partially to look good in front of the cameras, and 16 had to stroke his ego a little. In Abridged he does it because he wants to save his daughter Videl (to say nothing of the entire planet) and is willing to risk his life if there's even the slightest chance that 16's plan will work. He also volunteers with almost no hesitation after 16 told that he had a plan.
  • He also seems like far less of a Glory Hound than in canon (or at least more self aware about his status as one). At the end of the Cell Games, his initial reaction is gratefulness to still be alive, stating that he needs to rethink his life. Unlike the original manga and anime, he doesn't immediately try to steal Gohan's thunder; he was seemingly about to admit the truth, but after Jimmy Firecracker reminded him of his fans rioting in the streets he takes the credit if only to calm the people down and give them a hero in which to believe.
• Afro Asskicker: He's the strongest human fighter... who is not part of the Z-fighters.
• Attention Whore: Much like in the source material, he's quite irritated when people steal the spotlight from him, since he's paid for every second he's on camera. Ultimately subverted, as he's rather reluctant to take credit for defeating Cell until he learns his fans are rioting and need some kind of reassurance.
• Badass Boast: He cuts quite the promo on Cell.
  Mr.Satan: Now listen here "Cell". I know why you gave everyone here a week to prepare for your little "tournament": It's so that you could spend your last week on earth praying that Mr. Satan won't show up! So after I eat my Jimmy Johns, drink my Hetap, and F*ck my hot Asian wife, I'm gonna squash you like the bug. You. Are.
• Badass Normal: He can punch a hole through a bus, smash big rocks with his head, and legitimately won a World Martial Arts Tournament, but those concepts lost their meaning back in Dragon Ball.
  • He does risk his life throwing Android 16's head. It's surprisingly one of the more badass scenes of the show.
• Barrier Maiden: As part of his Adaptational Heroism, this is the reason why he takes the credit for killing Cell. He does so to keep the populace from rioting in the streets, giving them a hero to keep the populace calm.
• Beneath the Mask: As the Cell Games progress, it becomes increasingly clear that he doesn't believe a word of the Insane Troll Logic he's spouting for the cameras, and is legitimately terrified by what he's seeing. Even then, he's still willing to put himself in a hot zone if it means there's even a chance it'd save Videl. It also becomes clear that a lot of his hot headed It's All About Me personality is a Kayfabe persona once Larry's camera gets busted, plainly admitting that he has no fucking idea what's going on when he confirms none of the public can hear him.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Like in canon, ends up on the receiving end of this against Cell. It ends up a lot less cartoony though.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Nappa mentions him at the end of Season 2 as an up-and-coming new actor.
  Nappa: Actually, I'm in charge of this new project — wrote it myself. It’s about this one guy who’s killed tragically by his best friend, but then comes back as a ghost and haunts him. I call it: "Citizen Nappa". Merchandising rights alone are gonna make a f**king mint. We just signed on this great new actor, too. Name's Mark Satan. (shows Vegeta a picture of Mark Satan) Need to work on the first name, thinking "Hercule". What do you think?
• Fake Ultimate Hero: But of course. All the hype he builds up with his merch and Product Placement, all the confidence that he can actually defeat Cell despite mounting evidence to the contrary, and all the ego he manages to put in his words amount to exactly what you'd expect. The difference between this version and the canon one is that he takes credit only to stop the chaos going on in reaction to the games.
• Family Theme Naming: He (and his daughter, late wife, and, to a certain extent, future granddaughter) all have a devilish theme.
• Fearless Fool: He gives a massive boast about fighting Cell despite the fact Cell has slaughtered multiple cities and destroyed an entire city block on live television. Subverted after he fights Cell and gets firsthand experience of the difference in power between them. His later decision to assist by bringing over Android 16's head is made with a bit more weight, and he's properly horrified of what Cell could do to him.
• Flat-Earth Atheist: In an exaggeration of his canon tendencies, he tends to come up with bizarre and overcomplicated explanations for the fantastical events that occur around him and will stick to that story no matter what. If he says that was an unmanned drone, then to him it was an unmanned drone, corpses falling out of the sky be damned. Later, it turns out that this personality trait is part of his Kayfabe persona he puts on for the people. As soon as Larry says that their camera is broken and the public cannot hear him, he immediately drops the act and despondently admits that he has "no f*cking idea" what's going on.
• Freudian Excuse: If Cell really was accidentally telling the truth during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Mr. Satan used to be a homeless man and started his career in Bum Fights. It's also implied that, now that he has become a famous star, he has no real friends and his daughter is his only relationship that isn't about his money or position. In Episode 59, we seemingly get confirmation that Cell was accidentally accurate regarding Mr. Satan's previous homelessness, as he gets very offended when Jimmy Firecracker cracks a joke about the homeless (even if he tries to brush it off shortly after).
• Friend to All Children: He cares a lot about his daughter, tells the kids watching him on camera to not recreate his fights except with action figures, and agrees to (indirectly) help Gohan on the grounds that he's barely older than his aforementioned daughter.
• The Gambling Addict: In Episode 59, he offhandedly admits that he has a serious gambling problem.
• Heroic BSoD: As of Episode 60 Part 1, he's trying to keep his head down as low as possible as instead of trying to insist that everything that's happening is fake like his canon counterpart as he's absolutely terrified by all the destruction going on around him.
  Mr. Satan: (in response to #16 thanking him for chucking his head to Gohan) Don't name me!
• Insane Troll Logic: Often invokes this trope to keep up his ruses.
  Mr. Satan: There were magnets under the ring; the tiles, and uhh... When I went for my punch, I must've—they must've turned it on, and I went flyin' cuz of all the iron in muh blood cuz I eat my spinach.
  Random Dude: [beat] That makes sense!
• I Reject Your Reality: Not believing in the Z-Fighter's abilities is one thing, but denying that Cell just killed rival challengers who were flying in with a helicopter by coming up with a "cargo robot" excuse is another. This is later shown to be an act, as he's fully aware of the truth but insisted on it being something different to not panic anyone and/or keep up appearances.
• It's All About Me: If him shamelessly plugging his merchandise on camera didn't give it away, his fierce insistence that he will be the one to defeat Cell (as opposed to "a bunch of gym rats with too much time on their hands") should. Subverted ultimately, however, as due to Adaptational Heroism, several of his actions have a more altruistic reason for them rather than simply being for his own benefit.
• Large Ham: Easily tops his already hamtastic canon incarnation.
• Lonely at the Top: Implied. When Cell mockingly asks him if he has any actual friends, any relationships at all that aren't about his money or his position, all he can do is weakly retort that he has a daughter.
• Made of Iron: Survived being tossed into a mountain by Cell with nothing worse than a mild concussion. Considering he has no superpowers whatsoever, it's quite impressive.
• Meaningful Echo: Brings up his constant insistence that "it's all a bunch of tricks" to Jimmy Firecracker during his moment of Adaptational Heroism, in volunteering to carry 16's head over to Gohan. Here though, it sounds less like him denying the truth and more a moment of self-deprecation, to reassure his audience and hide the fact that he's scared out of his mind but he's going to try and save the world anyway. Too bad 16 ruins it.
  Android 16: They are not. You could die.
• Meaningful Name: Mr. Satan's real first name of Mark^note According to Akira Toriyama, his first name is "Maaku" (an anagram of "Akuma"), with "Mark" being the closest to an English equivalent is also a term given to pro wrestling fans who are fully invested in kayfabe, which fits Satan's celebrity pro wrestler gimmick who tries to convince everyone that the superpowered martial arts displayed during the Cell Games is staged.invoked
• One-Liner Echo: He uses Vegeta's "I am the hype" line in one of his badass boasts, much to the latter's irritation.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: As in the original series. While the stuff listed in Badass Normal would be genuinely impressive in Real Life, or even the original Dragon Ball manga, he's so far behind any relevant character in the series that it's hilarious.
• Papa Wolf: In a bit of Adaptational Heroism, his going along with 16's plan is out of a genuine desire to save his daughter's life from Cell (and everyone else), even if it costs him his.
• Product Placement: Promotes both Hetap and Jimmy Johns while trying to threaten Cell. And then come the actual Cell Games, he plugs his action figures and his own movie.
• Rags to Riches: His reaction to Cell's accusations imply that he did indeed start out in Bum Fights.
• Redundant Parody: DBZA Satan ends up in the somewhat unlucky position of being a parody of a character who was already comic relief, which means that a lot of his jokes (his egotism, his tall tales, his cowardice, his Hidden Depths) are essentially variants of the jokes that were made about him in the original. Kai 3.5 does a bit of self-deprecation on the issue, with Satan sheepishly admitting that they didn't really change his character.
• Refuge in Audacity: Unlike the original show, DBZA calls direct attention to his unfortunate surname and milks it for all it's worth - his fans can frequently be heard chanting "Hail Satan!" and are apparently known as "Satanists" in-universe.
• Scully Syndrome: He attempts to come up with rational sounding explanations to all the physics defying rigmarole Cell and the Z-Fighters get up to in their battles, but they quickly descend into the realm of Insane Troll Logic.
  • That said, he doesn't seem to actually believe his explanations. Once he learns that the broadcasting equipment is busted and the public can't hear him, he immediately drops the act and admits upfront that he has "no fucking idea" what's going on.
• Shadow Archetype: To Vegeta. While he is exactly as arrogant and foolish as the Saiyan Prince, Hercule has none of Vegeta's power, competency or intimidation factor. Naturally, Vegeta hates him on principle. He also seems to be a far better parent than Vegeta, though that's not saying much. And while he doesn't hate them nearly as much as Vegeta, he also doesn't have too much of a high opinion about Earthlings if him casually saying "I've been conning these suckers for years" is any indication.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Certainly not a small name on the Earth scale, but when it comes to fighters in this series he's far far weaker than he hypes himself up to be.
• Squash Match: He threatens Cell with this, but ultimately as in canon, he's on the receiving end.
• Stating the Simple Solution: When he asks why Buu doesn't just use his incredible magical powers to turn rocks and other inanimate objects into food instead of people, it turns out Buu just never thought of trying that and is perfectly on board with not eating people anymore. Even Satan can't believe he's just saved the world with that one.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: In a Shout-Out to Karl Anderson, he has a "Hot Asian Wife". Also, the ugly part is a Downplayed Trope. He's certainly not a Gonk even if he's no model.

Goten

"Wow, he... ...he looks like a little Dad."

Voiced by: Kimlinh "Hnilmik" Tran (Baby [Dragon ShortZ], Child [Buu Bits]), Ryan Palmer (Teenager [Buu Bits])

The second child of Goku and Chi-Chi, conceived in a marathon sex session during the prelude to the Cell Games. Chi-Chi insisted on having another baby in exchange for letting Goku and Gohan continue to train to fight Perfect Cell. Goten was born on Christmas Day, during Episode 2 of Dragon ShortZ.

---

• Adaptational Early Appearance: In canon, we don't see him until the Great Saiyaman portion of the Buu Saga, at which point he's already seven years old. Here, we actually see his birth post-Cell Games.
• Calling Your Attacks: Decides to launch his Kamehameha at Trunks, only he pronounces it as "KameKameha". Trunks even points out he says the name wrong only for him to launch the wave. Trunks wonders why they bothered saying the beam's name while Gohan chimes in, saying "because it sounds cool".
• Cheerful Child: When he's born, he shoots out of the womb and through a wall of Chi-Chi's hut with a bolt of energy, landing several hundred feet outside. His first sound is a happy giggle.
• Express Delivery: Chi-Chi somehow knows she is pregnant with him by the end of the same week he was conceived, and he was born on Christmas despite said conception occuring in May, both way too quickly for normal human gestation periods. One could chalk this up to Goku's Bizarre Alien Biology as a Saiyan and Goten being a Half-Human Hybrid, but more likely the real answer is Rule of Funny.
• Homeschooled Kids: Just like his brother, Chi-Chi is reluctant to send him to a public school during his childhood.
  Goten: When will I go to school?
  Chi-Chi: When your father comes home.
• Informed Judaism: His maternal grandmother was supposedly Jewish, though it's possible that Chi-Chi was lying to increase his brother's chances to get into college.
• Generation Xerox: Much like his father (and unlike Gohan), he's a very silly, yet powerful person who looks near-identical to Goku in the original Dragon Ball. His appearance in the Buu Bits says as much, with his Inner Monologue during his fight with Trunks being something that would go on in Goku's brain, echoed when Goku sings the same song later on in an identical situation (with the appropriate word replaced) in a deleted scene.
  Trunks: [thinking] Dang it, I can't get him out of the ring! I guess it's what I should expect from the son of Kakarot.
  Goten: [thinking] Baby Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, Baby Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-
• Like Father, Like Son: They both sing the exact same song with Goten singing the "baby shark" version and his dad singing the "daddy shark" version.
• Person of Mass Destruction: Goten is born with a sizable bolt of energy, powerful enough that Gohan and Vegeta feel the need to dodge it. (And yes, Gohan did dodge it.)
• Ret-Gone: Temporarily, as a gag, when Super Android 13 punched Goku in the nuts so hard that he cracked them, thereby removing Goten from the timeline via Delayed Ripple Effect. Luckily, Goten was brought back to canon when "senzu beans fixed his nuts up good."
• Significant Birthdate: Born on Christmas Day. Chi-Chi even refers to him as her "sweet little Christmas angel".
• Someone to Remember Him By: Goten looks exactly like Goku, even moreso than Gohan ever did. Goku recognizes this while watching his birth from Heaven through Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball. In Buu Bits Vegeta even refers to him as "Kakatot".
• Strong Family Resemblance: While he looks exactly like Goku as a kid, he actually inherited Chi-chi's voice tone, while Gohan has a similar voice to Goku. He mentions after the Time Skip that the most remarkable thing about him during that time was when he stopped looking like his father.

Trunks

Voiced by: Corrine "Megami33" Sudberg (kid), Scott "KaiserNeko" Frerichs (teenager)

The other Trunks from the main timeline.

---

• Accidental Murder: In the deleted version of his fight with Goten in the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament, he accidentally kills a crowd of people while fighting him, and an exasperated Goku says they'll need the Dragon Radar.
• Contrasting Replacement Character: He is more snarky and cocky than his alternate self from the Future timeline.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: His baby self at least. In Plan to Eradicate Christmas, Bulma engineers an antidote to the concentrated naughtiness from Santa's coal gas machines using baby Trunks' blood.
• Like Father, Like Son: During his fight with Goten, he has an inner monologue about how Goten is a worthy opponent as "The Son of Kakarot", something Vegeta often says.
• Mouthy Kid: When Gohan tries putting on a rag and sunglasses with his Great Saiyaman costume, he asks Trunks how he looks.
  Trunks: I think if I'm honest, mom will ground me.
  Bulma: Probably.
• Patchwork Kids: He has his mother's family lilac hair, and Vegeta's eyes, and Saiyan strength. As a kid, Trunks has his mother's voice tone (both are played by Megami33).

Shin, the Supreme Kai

Voiced by: Tom Schalk

The East Supreme Kai. He arrives on Earth to get help from the protagonists to prevent the awakening of Majin Buu.

---

• Fantastic Racism: Subverted. He has nothing against mortals (or "mortys" as they call them) and he does chastise Kibito's own Fantastic Racism and use of the term. He does use it when he does get exasperated by Goku's Blood Knight tendencies.
• Killed Offscreen: Not "killed" per se, but his Potara fusion with Kibito happens offscreen, as Kibito Kai is seen when Dende has to convince Popo to contribute to the Spirit Bomb. Presumably, due to the events of Super up to the manga having happened here by the epilogue, they'd since been de-fused.
• Named In The Adaptation: While his name is canonically named Shin, everyone hardly calls him that in the source material. Gohan consistently calls him by his real name in Buu Bits.
• Not Helping Your Case: He warns Goku that Majin Buu is stronger than the protagonists and can destroy galaxies. Goku's response was to open his hand and release a ki blast to make Majin Buu's awakening faster. Gohan had to tell him he wasn't helping.
• Top God: He explains that the Supreme Kais are this.

Kibito

Voiced by: Gianni Matragrano

Shin's retainer. He doesn't like "mortys".

---

• Fantastic Racism: He doesn't like to speak to "mortys". Shin had to get on his case about that.
• The Quiet One: He does speak, but doesn't like to talk to "mortys".
• Spared by the Adaptation: In Buu Bits, the moment where he's killed by Dabura is skipped.
