GOKU

Image:goku.jpg

The protagonist of the popular series is named as Goku. Goku was shown as a young boy in dragonball and was sent to planet earth to destroy it but when his spaceship landed on the planet his head struck a stone due to which he lost his memory. Goku then met an oldman named Gohan who was his adoptive grandfather and was actually his first martial arts teacher and that's how Goku was introduced in dragonball but that doesn't have to be taken to much concern as dragonballz follows the adventure of Goku as a young man who is actually the father of two adventure thirsty, sturdy children --- Gohan and Goten. Goku was married to one of his childhood friends Chichi whom he had once promised to marry in his childhood when he thought that marriage is the name of some yummy eatable. Later, during one of the world tourmaments he again met the young lady and at that time he had to marry her, though being forced (somehow). In dragonballz, Goku is basically shown fighting against the evil with his older and some new friends who prove thmeselves to be extremely helpful. Goku is liked by almost all the z warriors as he never upsets them and always withstands on their hopes and his promises. Goku fuses with Vegeta during the buu saga to defeat the villian so that the earth is potected against him 'cause it was even difficult for the mighty being to defeat kid buu alone. Vegeta was his long time rival who always desired to become stronger than Goku but unfortunately none could never do so. Goku is very frequently presented in a comic role. He's even adored by many as he's extremely reliable and faithful too. He can easily jump into all kinds of dangers to help the others and that's what's good of him. Goku has been cheated by many of his rivals various times as he is very pure of heart and that's what sometimes becomes very advantageous for many of his opponents but his pure heart is what makes him special 'cause there are many warriors but only a few of them are as good as Son Goku.


GOHAN

Gohan is the first son of Son Goku and Chichi. Gohan was named after Goku's adoptive granfather. He is equally strong as his father but was always encouraged by his mother to study and become one of the premiere scholars which is why he couldn't become very powerful. He was first shown in the Vegeta saga when he was introduced by his father to some of his older friends. At that time Gohan was presented to the spectators as a young boy who was totally unbeknown of his powers and at that time he was trained by PICCOLO who was actually the first person to realize how powerful the little boy was. Gohan when grew up always tried to help his father to fight against the evils like Frieza and Vegeta and ofcourse Goku's elder brother Raditz who had kidnapped the young lad to force his brother to join Frieza's army. His main contribution was provided to the earthlings during the cell games when there wasn't anyone else as strong as Gphan who could face the powerful monster---Cell and from then Gohan was the strongest being on the planet. Later on, during the kid buu saga Goku was again claimed to be the one who could ptrotect the earth from the various dangers as at that time Gohan couldn't fight against most of the warriors due to of lack of training. Gohan came to be known as the GREAT SAIYAMAN who was a superhero whose wardrobe was created by Bulma and name was given by Gohan himself. Gohan dressed him up as him 'cause he desired to proclaim himself similar to his companions in the Orange Star High school. Gohan made several friends there and later married one of his mates,Videl and had a daughter named Pan.



GOTEN

Goten is the second son of Goku and Chichi. He wasn't introduced in the begining of the series but during the great saiyaman saga, in the 200th episode. Goten was introduced as a seven year old young boy who greatly resembled his father whom he hadn't met at all as he died before his birth. Goten wasn't forced by his mother to study as his brother was but was actually taught martial arts by her and he really enjoyed that. He is the youngest saiyan to transform into a supersaiyan but he wasn't permitted to do by his mother and during his first attempt he was actually called a "monster" due to which he didn't dare to do that again especially infront of her. He is mostly shown with his best friend Trunks who is approximately one year older than Goten. Goten when grows up doesn't do much but is actually shown dating girls. Goten like his , is presented as a nature lover. Like his father and the others in his family, the young boy is totally pure of heart and actually the most adorable kid ever. He has proven himself to be a true friend of all and can jump in all sorts of dangers to help the others. Goten later fuses with Trunks in the Fusion saga and is then named as Gotenks (after being fused) by Piccolo.

VEGETA

Vegeta is introduced in the Vegeta saga when he was amongst those aggressive, arrogant and unpleasent aliens who attempted to destroy the earth but unfortunately due to Goku's powerful attempts were unable to do so. Vegeta was introduced as the dark saiyan prince who arrived on the planet with his companion --- Nappa but unfotunately weren't able to overpower the planet earth as they wished 'cause the earthlings were very much stronger than they thought them to be and as a result Vegeta was defeated by Goku and his friends--KRILLIN, Yajirobe, PICCOLO, and Gohan. Vegeta later, in the Namek saga befriended the other heroes when all of them got together to defeat Frieza. Vegeta later married Bulma and had a son named Trunks and a daughter named Bulla. Trunks was the one who really tried to understand his father but all his attempts were in vain but hey, Bulla could easily do what the others couldn't, she could understand her father and she is actually the one Vegeta can do anything for. Vegeta is the actually the only hero who is always and always jealous of the protagonist ---- Goku and always wishes to be much, much, much better than him but unfortunately he is never able to even make it upto him by himself. Vegeta has been shown to be envious with Goku since he arrived on the earth due to many reasons. Before meeting Goku, Vegeta had always expected himself as the strongest saiyan but that normal saiyan defeated the prince and even forgave him for trying to overpower the planet. Vegeta had always wished to revenge Freiza and kill the alien but unfortunately, Goku became the being first to defeat Frieza, and can we forget about Gohan being supersaiyan 2 and demolishing each and every cell of Mr.Cell so all these incidents have always disturbed the Drak Prince. Well, we can atleast imagine that Vegeta makes it upto Goku and that to by himself.



TRUNKS

Trunks is the older son of Vegeta and Bulma. He was first introduced during the Trunks Saga when he was shown as a myserious, supersaiyan and was actually disliked by almost all the z warriors for they were extremely curious to know about the sturdy youth but weren't getting any clue of how could he defeat Frieza so easily when those warriors couldn't even equal thmselves to thre alien. Trunks wanted to meet Goku and so he did. He introduced himself to our hero and told him about the androids who were created by Doctor Gero and also provided Goku a medicine to fight against his heart virus which was actualy the reason for his death. Future Trunks was very much different as compared to Trunks of the present timeline as he was much more innocent and humble, polite , manipulative and a very calculative person too while the original Trunks wasn't as humble or polite and actually seemed to be a little rude and harsh too. Trunks is the only warrior to have purple hair but they suit him a little. Trunks is usually shown accompanied by his best friend Son Goten, who easily believes everything he says (maybe cause he has a lot of faith in him). Trunks later fuses with Goten during the fusion saga and has his power increased to a tremendous level for they actually turn to supersaiyan three.--golden girl 04:21, 9 May 2009 (EDT)
