Great Ape Baby
From Dragon Ball Wiki, the ''Dragon Ball'' encyclopedia
"What am I doing? Anything I can to see that horrified, confused look on your face." |
Great Ape Baby is the form Baby achieved when Bulma blasted him with a Blutz Wave Generator. This is his strongest form as shown when he easily pounded Super Saiyan 4 Goku. Despite his immense size, he is surprisingly fast as he was able to keep up with the much smaller Goku for a time.

[edit] Appearance and personality
Like all the other Great Apes and Golden Great Apes, he is much larger than his normal form. It is shown that his fist is bigger than adult Goku's entire body. Like Goku before, he has golden fur that covers most of his body but retains the armor that Baby naturally possesses. His eyes are also different from normal Great Apes, as is his skin, which is blue colored rather than the brown color that normal Great Apes have. Unlike other Great Apes, Baby is in absolute control of his actions (due to Baby being the one in control, while Vegeta, his host body, is the one who became the ape). He does, however, pretend to be berserk at first to "play" with his newly acquired power. As his battle with Goku went on, he slowly but surely began to lose control due to his actual increasing rage, brought on by Goku's taunting (a weakness in Baby that Goku had discovered in their previous fight).
It is notable that, in this form, Baby's mouth does not move when he talks. In the English dub, dialogue was added to have Baby state that this is due to telepathy. Originally, there was no such explanation.
[edit] Plot summary
When Baby Vegeta realized he could not defeat Goku at his current power level, he enlisted Bulma to give him more power. The result was a device she called the Blutz Wave Generator that transformed Baby into a Golden Great Ape. His first action with his power was to immediately pound Goku to death, which he was doing quite effortlessly. After beating Goku senselessly, he then wanted to destroy the Earth with his charged Super Galick Gun, which Goku countered with his 10X Kamehameha, but was severely overpowered. The aftershock of the blast paralyzed Baby for a few moments. Just when Goku was about to meet his end, Trunks arrived and shot Baby in the eye, temporarily blinding him. Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Pan circled around Goku and began to transfer their energy into him, increasing his power dramatically. On top of that, Majuub was damaging Baby Vegeta from the inside (showing he didn't die when turned into a cookie) bringing him down to Goku's level. After Goku was fully charged, he then proceeded to battle and defeat Baby. After the fight, he cut off his tail turning the ape back into Baby Vegeta. Seeing he was outnumbered and outclassed, Baby left Vegeta's body and attempted to flee the planet. This however was not to be, as his escape was ruined when Goku blasted him with the 10x Kamehameha, ending his evil forever.
[edit] Techniques and abilities
- Super Galick Gun: Baby's full-powered version of the Galick-Gun and his most powerful attack. In his Golden Great Ape form, Baby fires a very powerful energy beam that is capable of destroying whole planets when charged and causing astounding damage even when uncharged. Unlike the Revenge Death Ball, it can cause global destruction and beyond.
- Renzoku Super Galick Gun: Baby rapidly fires many powerful, fast-moving blasts at a target. Though inferior to the Super Galick Gun, they can still cause significant damage.
- Full Power Energy Blast Volley: As a Golden Great Ape, he can also fire flurries of rapid energy blasts at his opponents, dealing a gigantic amount of damage.
- Levitate: Despite his size, he can fly.
- Explosive Wave: Used only once against Super Saiyan 4 Goku.
- Ki blasts: Amazingly, he could fire Ki Blasts. However, they can inflict tremendous damage, as shown in Final Bout. Baby Vegeta's ki blasts, while in this state, has its power, speed, size, and color varied.
- Kiai/Blaster Wave: Just like his other forms, the power of his Kiai in this state skyrockets ferociously, as he can scream with excruciating noise that severely damages the area Baby was standing on.
- Mouth Energy Wave: The Great Ape user fires enormously devastating mouth blasts from one's own open mouth.
- Flaming Death Ball: A somewhat more powerful version of the Revenge Death Ball. It has a fiery coat around that upon impact, causes a blazing explosion.
- Revenge Death Ball Final: The full-powered variation of the Revenge Death Ball. Unlike the original, this version can cause global destruction, as shown in Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3.
- Fire Breath: He fires a breath of high-intensity infernos that cause incineration and major destruction.
[edit] Other appearances
Great Ape Baby makes his first playable appearance in a Dragon Ball video game spin-off in Final Bout, as "Super Baby". He was later made a playable character in Budokai Tenkaichi installments 2 and 3, as Great Ape Baby.

- "You were too overconfident. Let me show you to your defeat!" (Final Bout)

- "I believe it's time for this monkey to spank YOU!" (Budokai Tenkaichi 3)
[edit] Trivia
- It can be assumed that because Baby is a parasite and not a full Saiyan, that he did not have the ability to control the Golden Great Ape like Goku or Vegeta would, explaining why he was constantly losing control.
- Great Ape Baby is the only Golden Great Ape character to appear in several video games.
