1. Pure-blooded Saiyans and hybrids appearing in the comics (Hainan version):
1. Sun Wukong (Kakarot): The protagonist of Dragon Ball, he grew up as a martial artist An ignorant little boy with potential, he gradually grows up in various adventures, and becomes stronger and stronger through training and fighting, but his heart still maintains his original innocence. (In other comics, the protagonist is the immortal Xiaoqiang, but in Dragon Ball, there are dragon balls that can resurrect people, so Wukong died twice. Readers just thought that he went to another world to practice leveling, and then resurrected and returned to earth to fight monsters when needed. , haha. ) In the end, he naturally became the savior of the earth - although this was not Wukong's original intention, but based on the principle of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", if an enemy comes out, he has to go! (The author Akira Toriyama once tried to let his son Gohan take over as the protagonist, but the readers refused. Toriyama had no choice but to resurrect Goku and continue fighting...)
2. Vegeta: The second male lead (this is controversial, some people say it is Goku's son Son Gohan, but I am a die-hard Vegeta loyalist, so naturally I support the prince~), he was originally only set as a soy sauce Saiyan. Because of his unexpected popularity, he was upgraded to a Saiyan prince and became the second male lead in contrast to the protagonist Goku. He has worked under Frieza since he was a child and wiped out the natives of other planets. Over a long period of time, he has developed a ruthless, arrogant and arrogant character. He has rebellious thoughts hidden in his heart. He wants to find the Dragon Balls to immortalize himself and defeat Frieza. Who knows? The third-level tribesman Kakarot (Sun Wukong's Saiyan name) he met on the earth became a lifelong rival who was always ahead of him. He stayed on the earth after the Namek War and was ultimately unable to defeat him. Kakarot's gentle influence, although he is still arrogant, will still join the battle to defend the earth when necessary. (Of course, I shouted "Kakarot is my (opponent), you are not allowed to (kill him)"... Don't blame us for being too yyy, it's because the original work itself is ambiguous~~ ~~! ! Someone screamed excitedly)
3. Nappa: A famous warrior among the Saiyans, he has been fighting with Vegeta since his home planet was destroyed, and he is a cruel and brutal bald man. , was severely injured by Goku in the Battle of Earth, and was killed by Vegeta who said "I don't need incapacitated Saiyans". In short, his existence and early arrogance paved the way for Vegeta (Uncle Nappa in Hell sobbed). In Dragon Ball fandom, sometimes he is still the same as before, and sometimes he is portrayed as a loyal attendant. In short, It is a passerby that authors of original works and fanfics can freely shape according to their own needs. (Uncle Nappa in hell is crying more and more miserably...)
4. Raditz: Goku's brother, another of Vegeta's subordinates. Although Raditz's fighting power is low (of course, the more than 1,000 fighting power on earth is enough to defeat the invincible opponents on the earth), his heart is cunning and cruel. He came to earth to kidnap Gohan and asked Goku to join the Saiyans to sweep other planets. Goku refused. Agreeing, he joined forces with his old enemy Piccolo to fight, and with an unexpected blow from Gohan, who had amazing potential, Raditz, whose combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, was hugged from behind by Goku, and Piccolo shot both brothers through the heart from the front. Reported to the underworld. (The villain in the original work has become the very lovable Brother La in the fandom. The image of long hair corresponds to Nappa’s bald head, haha.)
5. Bardock: Only appears in the comics Baba, who has left a deep impression on all Dragon Ball fans, is Goku's biological father. He was the Saiyan who fought until the end when Planet Vegeta was blown up by Frieza, and thus became the brave Biao in Dragon Ball. He is a typical fierce character, so much so that the animated version specially produced an episode of SP "Bardock's Final Battle". If you want to "get a taste" of Dragon Ball, it is recommended to download this episode of SP and take a look. You should know if you are compatible. . My feeling is: Dragon Ball is not beautiful, but it is perfect. The reason why Dragon Ball is a classic is that it highly condenses the realistic society, history, personal growth, good and evil humanity and universal values ????in a simple and passionate battle plot. The reason why it is so invisible is not that the author deliberately hides it, but that his inner world view, social outlook and life experience play a role on their own. Almost every small detail setting has this internal logic. So when you watch Dragon Ball, you can see it very briefly, but as you get older and more knowledgeable, you can discover more content when you watch Dragon Ball again. This kind of fun of discovering and comparing (oneself, society, another anime or real character) makes us Never get tired of Dragon Ball.
6. Son Gohan, the eldest son of Goku, is a hybrid of Saiyan and Earthling. He has the same name as the kind-hearted old Grandpa Gohan who picked up Goku and raised him when he was a child (Goku named his son to commemorate his grandfather) . Gohan wanted to be a scientist since he was a child, and was the focus of training by his educational mother Chi-Chi, but fate played a trick on him. In order to save him, Goku and Raditz died together when he was four years old, Gohan was taken away by Piccolo for special training. Facing the Saiyans (Vegeta and Nappa) who would come for revenge a year later, after a series of battles, Gohan became stronger and stronger, fighting with his father to defend the earth. This child is a reflection of the contradictions in real life - his father is very martial, his mother wants him to study literature, he wants to be a scientist and study hard, but he wants to practice to save the earth. Finally, the earth is peaceful. The author has written his father to death. Let him take on the role to restore the comic style, but the readers quit and insisted on Wukong coming back to continue fighting... Put aside all these, let's just talk about him falling in love with Vidili, who appeared later, a bunch of piccolos Many fans accused him of "throwing away the old and welcoming the new"... This is such a sad and unlucky boy. In short, in the original work, he finally became a real soy sauce gangster...a representative figure of the unpredictable fate that manipulates people!
7. Trunks: A character who appears in the middle and later stages of the comic, divided into Big Te (Trunks from the future time and space, who appeared first) and Little Te (Trunks from this time and space, He was not yet born when Da Te came out), the son of Vegeta and Bulma (the most important female character in Dragon Ball, the genius scientist girl who adventures with little Goku to find the Dragon Ball, she has many and important scenes), a mixed-race, two people He has inherited the excellent genes of the Saiyans. He has deep fighting power and infinite potential as a Saiyan, as well as a talent for invention. He can be called both civil and military. He is the last Dragon Ball Warrior in the future time and space (another episode of the animation SP talks about him. story). As for Xiaote, he is a young and wealthy young man who grew up in a peaceful era (although it is not directly set that the Bu family is the richest man in the world, but the world uses his family's magic capsules, various electrical appliances and speed cars... Goten also said, "You are already the richest man in the world, do you still have something you want to get?" The queen can still maintain this characteristic, instead of focusing on money as much as in reality. I hope that he and Goten, the childhood sweethearts, will have a good relationship. (Well, my Danlang attribute has been exposed again...but I'll finish my answer before running away.)
8. Sun Wutian, the second son of Wukong, is one year younger than Trunks and looks like He is very much like his father, and his personality is also very similar - at least when he was a child, he likes to take risks and get into trouble just like Trunks. Unfortunately, he did not get the attention of the author. When he grew up, he became a writer who valued making girlfriends more than training and fighting. A guy who is neither civilized nor martial... (However, most fan authors still love him very much. I recommend reading "Random Thoughts - Sun Wutian" written by Xia Duda, which is written for this child who grew up under the halo of his father and brother. Defense.) It is also a good proposition to analyze why the two sons of Goku, the savior, are so different from the original Dragon Ball itself, and to discuss real-life family conflicts and various education methods.
9. Bra (called "Puna" in some versions), Trunks's sister, also the child of Vegeta and Bulma, a character who appeared in the last episode of the comic, in the animation In "Dragon Ball GT" (authorized by Shueisha, Toriyama made some of the characters, but it cannot be considered as the original work), she appeared as a young girl. She didn't have many scenes but she was likeable - in short, she was like her who was loved by her father. Compared to the little princess who went there, Trunks is just a poor little devil working for the prince's father who never smiles at boys and only knows strict requirements... Anyway, I think the Saiyans have had more boys and fewer girls for a long time (eh) , this is a fan setting, not the original setting), which leads to a serious preference for girls over boys. If you are a girl, you will hold it in the palm of your hand, and if you are a son, you will kick it out of the planet to fight various monsters... (Saiya Boy: Hello I’m just a newborn and I can’t even crawl. It’s so inhumane to let me go out to work! T_T)
10. Peipei (some people call her Xiaofang or Abao), Wu The daughter of Fan and Bidili, and appeared in the last episode of the comic together with Bra. She has been fond of martial arts since she was a child, and participated in the world's best martial arts competition at the age of 5... (What kind of genius children are these? We can't compare. There's no way. (Bi, burst into tears...) He appeared in "Dragon Ball GT" and went on adventures to various planets to find the Black Star Dragon Balls. Inheriting the tradition of the Sun family, he has good fighting ability, is innocent and cute, and is simple and kind.
I have a very good relationship with Bulla - although there is a gap in seniority (strictly speaking, there is no seniority between Vegeta and Sun Wukong in the original work, but it is difficult for us Chinese to change our thinking mode... Sigh, where did I go!) But because they are close in age and the two families often move around each other, the two can be called childhood sweethearts. There was a scene where Bra went to buy clothes with a large amount of money that shocked the simple Pepe, haha.
Saiyans appearing in animation
11. King Vegeta: All other Saiyans in the comics have appeared in the animation, only this one is in the animation The "new guy" appears. He is the King of the Saiyans and Vegeta's father. There is no name in the official setting, and fans are generally called "King Vegeta" directly. You are a comic fan and have never watched the anime. The following is copied from Baidu:
There are not many descriptions in the original animation. It gives the impression that he is a ruthless and ambitious Saiyan who has the highest fighting ability. , trying to take Frieza's place. Later, he brought a large number of Saiyans to challenge Frieza, but was easily killed by him, which also led to the destruction of the entire Planet Vegeta. (I disagree with the last sentence. This paragraph in the animation is also original and has no evidence from the comics to support it. I think Frieza has already had concerns about the Saiyans, and he is more afraid of 1. Uniting together. Saiyans, 2. Saiyans’ characteristics of increasing combat power when dying, 3. and the legend of Super Saiyans. When Saiyans conquered many planets for him, the use value is no longer so high but the threat becomes more and more. When he was young, Frieza was determined to eradicate the Saiyans first. Even so, he fabricated the story that Vegeta's planet was destroyed by a meteorite, and specifically chose to do it when Vegeta was out, so as to continue to take advantage of the little prince. Do things for yourself. )
(Well, one more thing: among the villains, Frieza seems to be the most complex and representative. He deserves to be studied deeply and can be substituted into a real dictatorship. The reader can study and judge their psychology, and then ponder the mutual utilization relationship between the Iceman and Saiyan races. As long as this aspect is involved, Dragon Ball fan fiction can write a large economic and political history of the universe, and it all depends on the level of the author. )
In short, in my mind, King Vegeta is a Machiavellian figure, which can perfectly correspond to the heroic figure of Goku and his father Bardock. Both fathers are full of national tragedy. , it’s just that one is a high-level decision-maker, and the other is a grassroots hero among ordinary people. Comparing it (and YY), it’s very interesting! Good news for uncles!
The Saiyans who appear in the theatrical version:
12. Broly: I personally don’t like this character very much. He is a god-defying existence, but there are many theatrical versions about him. Presumably it was for the purpose of creating an enemy within the clan (Vegeta is simply a comrade in the skin of an enemy. Every time he jumps out to prepare a hero to save the beauty, he is always saved by Kakarot. pieces), and is so powerful that everyone must work together to eliminate the need to enhance the friendship within the Dragon Ball Warriors... In short, you can go to Baidu to download this character, and I will not introduce it further (if you continue to smear it like this, Broly's Fans are going to take my skin off, I’m so scared~~).
13. Dales, a guy who relies on eating "spiritual fruit" to beat up Wukong and Gohan... From this point of view alone, this character is destined to be a "bear" "The good news is that in the fandom, he plays the role of a ruffian that is rare in Dragon Ball. When he opens his mouth, he will say "I am like this". It is said that he is Bardock's brother, but no one can tell whether Qing is a biological brother, a cousin, or some kind of incomparable brother... In short, he looks very similar, but he is also quite dark like his appearance. ...
14. Tabur: Dragon Ball OVA "Return!" The new Saiyans appearing in "Son Goku and Friends". Vegeta's younger brother was sent to an alien planet because his fighting ability was too low since he was a child (a disguised exile?). This time it was because an invincible foreign enemy invaded, so he brought his wife to earth to join his powerful brother. ...(Someone thought to himself: Why did you give someone a younger brother for nothing? He is so short, so much like Gohan and not like Vegeta. He is not cool at all. His combat power is extremely low. Why is his IQ so low? What’s the most unacceptable thing about his wife! I can’t accept this guy’s level of appreciation! ! A certain ghost transforms into the Roaring Emperor.
)
…………………………………………………………………………
Besides, I don’t know if they are considered new Saiyans. There are three more:
15. Vegito: The fusion of Kakarot and Vegeta. Appears in the comics. When needed to fight against Majin Buu, the two merge by using Kaioshin. The earrings fit together.
16. Gogeta: Appeared in the theater version, he is still the fusion of Kakarot and Vegeta, but this time he successfully appeared through the "Two into One Technique", haha , with her enchanting belly dancer attire, coupled with her incomparably handsome face and perfect body, she has fascinated countless Dragon Ball fangirls~!
17. Gotenks: As the name suggests, it is the combination of two little ones, Trunks and Goten, using the "Two into One Technique". However, children are children, and the combination is naughty. The naughty index and combat power have doubled together, and the lack of maturity can easily lead to trouble. It's a pity that Piccolo-san, who was serious and tall and mighty in the first half of the original Dragon Ball, suffered miserably from these two brats who were perfectly combined. The great devil's reputation and image were ruined... …(You shook his head and sighed)
…………………………………………………………………………
Is there anything else (scratching his head to think about it) ing)...that seems to be it. Basically everyone has been named, and those who appear as protagonists and supporting characters are the only ones with small stories. For example, the comrades Thomas and Sherryba who came out to play soy sauce in Bardock SP are supporting characters who do not appear much. I won’t go into details. The settings of the original work are not as YY as mine and it will mislead people (in fact, the above introduction is already very misleading = =b). In short, Dragon Ball is a classic, but whether you can continue watching it depends on fate. If you watch it with a picky mentality, you will definitely not see the improvement, but if you still retain an open mind and want to see it An interesting story, as well as various colorful characters (such as Xiao Lin, Tianjin Fan, Leping, etc. in Earthlings) and even supporting characters like Mr. Satan who have no great ability and are very boastful, each with their own unique combat skills. and style), then Dragon Ball is definitely a good choice. If you like simplicity, you can watch the excitement. If you like complexity, there are many objects for research. If you are a fan... come to me after you fall~!
It is recommended not to watch the theatrical version first - those are supplements to the anime. According to your own preferences, choose your leisure time to read animation or comics. The animation has recently launched the "Dragon Ball Kai". Try to find one for the comics. A good translation (most people prefer the Hainan version, but there are many translation errors in it. You can read the relevant posts on the Chinese Dragon Ball Forum in the future). I believe Dragon Ball will bring you a lot of happy times~! ^_^
