 Anime

Radditz

                               This summary was written by Vegeta3920



                                       Short Summary

   Radditz only makes a brief appearance in the series but theoretically sets up the entire storyline! He is a weakling by most
 standards but still is able to bring Goku down and warn Vegeta and Nappa about the dragonballs. He is pompous and weak,
                                     but is very important to dbz.



                                       Long Summary

   He arrives on Earth in episode #1. After a lengthy discussion with Goku and friends, Goku discovers he is not only from
   another planet but he is the younger brother of the bully standing in front of him! Later you learn he was one of the 4 main
  Saiyans to escape the doomed planet Vegeta (at this point Radditz still thinks a comet destroyed the planet). Radditz steals
  Gohan, at which time Goku agrees to team up with Piccolo and try they're luck on Radditz and recover his only son. After a
  whooping and a surprising display of Gohan's natural talent that inevitably allows Goku to win, Goku sacrifices himself to kill
   Radditz. As Radditz dies, he purposely transmits the entire secret of the dragonballs to Vegeta and Nappa who depart to
                    capture them. Radditz is more important than you think, but he's still an ass.

Vegeta

 Even though he is evil at heart, Vegeta is perhaps one of the most strong-willed characters in the series. Like Son Goku, he is
 extremely industrious, constantly striving to be better, but different purposes drove Vegeta's spirit. Goku fought to defend the
 lives and others and to challenge his limitations while Vegeta fought to satiate his bloodthirsty appetite and die hard pride, which
                    is unwilling to accept defeat. This gradually changes throughout the series.

   The primary driver of his will is Son Goku. Vegeta's defeat in his first encounter with Goku and his unwillingness to accept
 Goku being more powerful had constantly fuelled his strong will to continue to train himself. After seeing Goku turn into Super
 Saiyajin and defeating Freeza, he grew even more jealous of Goku's achievements and immersed himself in intensive training.
  After much sweat and frustration, he finally became Super Saiyajin. He only enjoyed a fleeting moment of pride in destroying
                                   #20, before being defeated by #18.

 Vegeta's first catharsis occurred during Son Gohan's battle with Cell. Because of his rash decision to attack Cell when he did
 not have the power to, had caused Gohan's arm to be seriously injured when Gohan saved his life. Not only was he not even
  close to Cell's ability, but also served as a hindrance to Gohan. That was the first time Vegeta accepted his incapabilities by
                                     making an apology to Gohan.

 By the time Majin Buu appeared, what used to be a cold-hearted Vegeta changed. Right before he proceeded to sacrifice his
  life in an attempt to destroy Buu, he told Trunks that he cared about him and how he felt bad about giving Trunks much less
                                    attention then Trunks deserved.

  During Son Goku's final battle with Majin Buu, Vegeta goes through a complete catharsis. He realized that Goku's pure and
        kind heart gave Goku the power that Vegeta never had. He finally realizes that the good ultimately prevails.

Ginyu Force

  The Ginyu are made up of 5 people. They are Guldo, a frog like character with the ability to freeze time, Recoome, a hulking
 behemoth with an interesting sense of humor,Burda, A tall fish looking guy who is known for his extreme speed,Jaice, a punk
 rocker type guy who is known as the "red magma" of the ginyu force, And Captain Ginyu the leader who is not only strong, but
   has the ability to change bodies with people. He does change bodies with Goku and is eventually defeated in that body by
 Krillin and Gohan when Ginyu in Goku's body is not used to the strange body and can not get up to the power level goku did.
           Then he tries to shift into Vegeta's Body but is turned into a frog when Goku throws one in the way.

Freeza

 He is one of the major villains who appears after the epic battle between Son Goku and Vegeta. The battle against Freeza was
                                 the longest segment of the entire series.

 He was the villain who destroyed Goku's home planet. Even though Freeza would not openly admit, his greatest nightmare is
                         the Saiyajin, that is why their home planet must be destroyed.

   Shortly after Vegeta finished his battle with Goku, we encounter Freeza in the planet of the Namek. Both the Dragon Ball
  Warriors and Freeza and his minions arrived at the planet to acquire the more powerful Dragon Balls. Although both arrived
  with the same purpose, their motives were quite different. The Dragon Ball Warriors wanted to revive Piccolo and his other
                half, Tenshin, while Freeza, with his insatiable appetite for power, wanted eternal life.

 He did not begin to demonstrate his capabilities until he started the battle against Vegeta when he took his first transformation.
  Freeza is capable of three transformations, becoming more powerful each time, during which, Vegeta was killed and Piccolo
                          met nearly the same fate. Then, Son Goku joined the battle.

   This is the battle where first saw the Super Saiyajin. Freeza served as the catalyst for that when he killed Kuririn out of his
 frustration. The angry Son Goku became Super Saiyajin and eventually overcame Freeza. Goku, being a good sportsman like
  always spares Freeza's life so he could challege Freeza again. But Freeza's uncontainable pride and unwillingless to accept
               defeat sealed his fate. Miracalously, he still managed to survive until recued by his father

After being rescued by his Father, Freeza decided to go to earth for his revenge, but only to seal his fate by the arrival of Future
                                             Trunks.

Majin Buu

                                 Majin Buu is the evil creation of Babi di.

 He is perhaps the most interesting of all villains in Dragon Ball Z. Not only is he the most powerful and indestructable villain, but
                                 his personalities also seemed boundless.

    Buu is capable of absorbing his enemies and their powers as well. He absorbs his enemies in two ways. The first way is
  transforming the target into a palatable item (such as chocolate - Buu's favorite) by his "antenna." The second method is by
wrapping the target using a part of himself as a blanket and pulling the victim into his body. Every time he absorbs an enemy, his
                        appearance will also mutate, resembling the look of that enemy.

   Buu first showed himself as fat and goofy-looking. The reason why Buu looks fat and goofy is because he had previously
                                 engulfed a kaiwongshin with such figure.

  Buu's encounter with Mr. Satan was the most interesting. Mr. Satan revealed the "good" side of Buu which we never thought
   Buu had. Mr. Satan even convinced Buu never to commit any evil deeds again. Unfortunately, the "evil" in him cannot be
 contained. The "evil" was unleashed when Buu was angered by the near fatal shooting of Mr. Satan. The "evil" Buu splits from
  the "good" Buu. The "evil" Buu easily defeated and re-absorbed the "good" Buu demonstrating that there is really more "evil"
                   than "good" in Buu. The absorbtion transformed Buu into a purely evil entity.

  We do not see the "original" appearance until the combined Vegeto infiltrated the body of Buu and plucked out everyone he
 has absorbed, including "good" Buu, also dramatically reducing his power. Nevertheless, he still has enough power to destroy
                                         earth, and does so.

                The final battle took place in the remote planet of ... where Buu was finally defeated.
