Planet Kanassa (or simply Kanassa) is the planet Bardock and his crew are seen conquering in "Bardock: The Father of Goku". It is a rocky and barren planet, inhabited by a reptilian-like race with telepathic abilities known as the Kanassans. Prior to the genocide that took place there, the inhabitants were able to foresee the coming destruction that would occur on the night of a full moon. This turned out to be an accurate prediction, as Bardock's crew were able to use the light of the full moon to transform into their Great Ape forms and exterminate the planet's residents. After conquering the planet, Bardock was given psychic abilities by the sole survivor so that he could see the horror of the end of his own home world — Planet Vegeta. The World Trade Organization had their eyes on the planet several months before Bardock's arrival, but the job was "left in the pool" by even Frieza's strongest elites. The conquering of this planet signified to Frieza that the Saiyans were quickly becoming the strongest fighters in the organization, making it contributing factor that lead to the Genocide of the Saiyans.(more...)

Future Gohan is the version of Gohan that appeared in the alternate timeline in which Future Trunks lived, and was shown in the TV special, The History of Trunks as well a few Dragon Ball Z episodes during flashbacks. In the original manga, he appeared at the end of volume 37, titled "Dragon Ball, Trunks The Story, The Lone Warrior". Gohan is shown now as a full grown 23 year old man and is depicted as Future Trunks' mentor. He managed to become a Super Saiyan after the death of his father due to a lethal heart virus and after seeing his friends murdered at the hands of the androids. Over the course of roughly thirteen years, Gohan continuously takes it upon himself to challenge the androids, even though he is outnumbered and outclassed. (more...)

Cooler is a character of an unnamed race and the main villain in the fifth and sixth movies of the anime Dragon Ball Z. He is the older brother of Frieza, and the eldest son of King Cold. Like the rest of his family, he is also shown to be involved in the World Trade Organization. Much like his brother, he can push his body through transformations to increase his power. Although only two forms are seen (the last two), it is stated in the fifth film that Cooler possesses the same number of forms Frieza does, as well as a fifth and more powerful form, which he uses to combat Goku. Like his brother, Cooler also has a bio mechanical final form, which he gains after merging with the Big Gete Star. Cooler's Armored Squadron compose the elder brother's own special fighting team. These three warriors serve as Cooler's subordinates throughout the course of the fifth film. (more...)

The Spirit Bomb or Genki Dama is a powerful attack taught to Goku by King Kai, which he uses in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. The Spirit Bomb is widely considered to be the strongest attack in the series, but depends on the number of people supporting its use. Users of the Spirit Bomb gather huge amounts of energy from all chosen surrounding life forms, and conduct that energy into a massive sphere of astounding destructive power. Energy takes the visual form of sparkling, glittering wisps when adding to the mass. The creation of the attack promotes a calm breeze away from the bomb, which turns into a strong continuous gale and expels colorful bands or radiation of Northern Lights-esque aurora. When used it is quite swift, and if the user isn't careful of it, the Spirit Bomb could absolutely obliterate a planet. Essentially, to use the Spirit Bomb, one must have a pure heart so they can manipulate and gather energy, otherwise the move can backfire and possibly hurt or kill the user. Likewise, once a Spirit Bomb has been fired, it is possible for one with a pure heart to deflect the technique. This is the opposite for a being with an evil heart, who will be engulfed by the bomb if a deflection is attempted. (more...)

Future Trunks' sword is a powerful blade that Future Trunks wields from his first appearance in Dragon Ball Z up until it is smashed and seemingly broken by Android 18. The true origins of this weapon are never truly revealed, but it is believed by most to have been created by Bulma. This sword is most notably used by Trunks to slay the powerful evil tyrant Frieza when he returns to Earth for revenge. Trunks also uses the sword in order to test Goku's power, in which the sword is amazingly blocked by merely Goku's index finger. Three years later, Trunks returns to assist the Z Fighters in battling the androids, only to later have his sword smashed by Android 18 after a failed attack. (more...)

Super Saiyan is an advanced transformation assumed by extraordinary members of the Saiyan race. Two stages succeed Super Saiyan known as Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3. The premiere Super Saiyan form has three branch stages known as Ascended Super Saiyan, Ultra Super Saiyan, and Full-Power Super Saiyan. There is also a prequel stage called False Super Saiyan, a special transformation exclusive to Broly known as Legendary Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan 4 in Dragon Ball GT. With the original transformation the user receives a massive power increase by 50 fold, a golden flame-like aura, golden hair that stands on end, greenish-blue eyes, and a more defined muscle tone.
The first character we see assume the transformation is Goku while battling Frieza. When Future Trunks appears, he too is capable of the transformation. Vegeta also ascends a short time later, and Gohan also assumes the transformation while training. Later on in the series both Goten and Trunks ascend at a very young age, and are also able to go Super Saiyan whilst in their fusion stage of Gotenks, as do Goku and Vegeta with their fusions Vegito and Gogeta. This stage is eventually outclassed by the new, much more powerful stages listed above. (more...)

Dr. Gero is a brilliant scientist who worked for the Red Ribbon Army. After the army's defeat in the hands of Goku, Gero retreated to his mountain laboratory to plot his revenge with the Artificial Humans (Androids) series. Not until he reached Android 19 did he create an obedient, bloodthirsty servant. Gero then had #19 transplant his brain into an android body, thus turning himself into Android 20 and preventing him from dying of old age. (more...)

The Omega Blaster is the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly's most powerful attack that he used in Broly: Second Coming. When Broly uses it, it changes from a small energy sphere into an enormous energy bomb of devastatingly great power. Not only can he control the size and speed of this attack, but he can also power it up by launching ki blasts into it to push it forward, making it even more powerful and destructive enough to destroy the whole galaxy.

Trunks (sometimes called Present Trunks in order to distinguish him from Future Trunks) is a fictional character in the manga Dragon Ball, and the anime Dragon Ball Z. He is the Human/Saiyan hybrid son of Bulma and Vegeta. In the English dub of the Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 video game, he is called Kid Trunks. Trunks' seiyū is Takeshi Kusao.

The Dragon Radar (referred to simply as the Bleeper in some dubs) was built by Bulma, and is used to find Dragon balls very quickly compared to conventional methods. This is due to the fact that Dragon Balls emit a faint electromagnetic pulse[1], which the Radar can detect. It then points arrows in the directions of nearby Dragon Balls. Pressing the button on the top can cause the view to zoom out and show more and more of the planet. (more...)

The 10x Kamehameha is an energy wave technique in the Dragon Ball franchise. It made its debut in "The Tuffle Gorilla Attacks!", the 36th episode of Dragon Ball GT, which premiered on February 12, 1997. The technique is a more powerful adaptation of the Super Kamehameha, which Goku uses in his Super Saiyan 4 transformation. During its first use in the Baby Saga, the 10x Kamehameha is whitish-blue in appearance, much like the standard Kamehameha (an earlier technique which the 10x Kamehameha resembles in most respects), however, later uses see its appearance permanently altered so that it emits a crimson aura instead. (more...)

Gohan is the first son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He is the first half-breed Saiyan. He is named after Goku's adoptive Grandpa Gohan. Gohan's name is a homophone for gohan (御飯), the Japanese word for cooked rice which also refers to meals in general. In Mandarin, the reading of 悟飯 is homophone for 午飯 (wûfàn), meaning lunch. Gohan is a shy and studious intellectual, and as a child lacks the Saiyan fighting spirit. (more...)
