Kanassans (カナッサ星人, Kanassa-seijin) are a race of fish-like people featured in the special Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku.

OverviewEdit

The Kanassan warEdit

Main article: Kanassan war

Inhabitants of Planet Kanassa, are said to possess psychic abilities, including being able to read minds and see into the future. Thus Frieza orders their extermination out of paranoia that they could become a threat to him, or to simply use the planet's unique energy for himself. They are wiped out by Bardock's team, as Great Apes who attacked during a full moon.

In the special, Bardock and his crew were assigned by Frieza to exterminate all life forms of Planet Kanassa. Afterward, a remaining survivor named Toolo catches Bardock off-guard and gives him the "gift" to see the future. The Kanassan believes this will give him the ability to see the destruction of Planet Vegeta, and the entire Saiyan race with it, at the hands of the tyrant Frieza. Tora then disposes the weakened Toolo.

A Kanassan who is a different color than the Kanassans shown in TV special appears in episode 195, "Warriors of the Dead". He is training on Grand Kai's planet.

Personality and abilitiesEdit

The Kanassan warriors seen in the Bardock special are shown to be extremely brave. Despite knowing from their visions that they will be destroyed, they put up an honorable fight with Bardock and his team. They are shown to be very honorable, a good example being the conversation between Demetrious and the unnamed commander, in which after Demetrious draws blood, the commander states that "you have done well my friend... I will meet you at the door.", implying that he has served his honorable duty and now must pass on to the next world.

Kanassan appear to talk telepathically to one another, as when Demetrious is seen talking, his mouth does not move. They also appear to have been able to harness ki energy, another reason why they had put up such a hard struggle against the Planet Trade Organization's forces.
