User:Greentryst/Uncyc/Dragon Ball Z
Dragonball Z is a fictional non-fiction cartoon. Like most anime from Japan, it was created by someone on drugs with the intent of distributing seizures. It proved to be highly popular, even though it wasn't pornography most of the time.
The author, Akira Toriyama, is also known for discovering how to never end a story line. It was originally a manga, which is an ancient Egyptian practice of drawing cels on papyrus before broadcasting them.

Main Characters
One of the unique things about Dragonball Z is that it has characters. If you continue reading you might be able to see the list below.
Primary Characters
Son Goku
- Goku is a humanoid alien called a 'Saiya-jin', or Saiyan if you are in post-9/11 America. Despite crash landing on Earth, he did not abduct any farmers - a trait many find quite admirable. He carries around a turtle named 'Kamehame-Ha' that he uses to blast his enemies, which he only does once everyone else is dead.
Kuririn/Krillin
- Krillin is bald, which makes him the worst character. He dies a lot too, but studies have shown baldness does not cause death; it only makes you really annoying.
Vegeta
- Vegeta is a Saiyan who came to DBZ after starring as the nasty banker on Mary Poppins. His haircut is atrocious, and most of the series he spends his time trying to get even with Goku for having better hair.
Son Gohan
- Gohan is Goku's Son. Unlike most characters in the series, he ages - I'd personally blame this on time. He usually can't do anything right and ends up whining for his father.
Piccolo
- Piccolo is a green alien who used to abduct humans, but has now decided it's no longer profitable and moved on to wearing heavy capes. He is good friends with Gohan, because their parents let them play in a sandbox together when they were kids.
Secondary Characters
Chi-Chi
- Goku's wife, who is more irritating than Hillary Clinton.
Buruma/Bulma
- Longest running character in the series, and the mistress of Vegeta, Bulma has blue hair. One character must always have blue hair in accordance with Anime rules.
Trunks
- Vegeta and Bulma's son, who has purple hair. This may or may not mean he's gay, since unlike the other secondary males, he's not always chasing after women in Dragonball GT.
Goten
- Goku's second son, who he doesn't meet until after he's born. Goten looks like Goku, which means it's possible to make more episodes from similar characters. Like his father, he has a room temperature IQ.
Kamesennin Mutenroushi / Master Roshi, Turtle Hermit
- A lecherous, perverted old man who is usually reading hentai. He lives with a turtle, although thankfully does not read turtle porn.
Majin Buu
- Buu is really fat and sometimes he's really thin - a trait only seen in humans like Oprah. However, he's not human, and is actually made out of bubble gum. The Buu saga is about Goku trying to find the Bazooka Joe Comic inside him.
Plot Overview
Many people inaccurately claim Dragonball Z is all about fighting. This is clearly not true, as often the fighting stops so the producers can make new episodes. Dragonball Z had a near total of 290 episodes, which is double 145.
Freeza Saga
- Everyone dies twice. Goku kills Freeza. It takes 107 episodes.
Cell Saga
- Everyone dies. Gohan kills Cell for killing Goku. It takes 73 episodes.
Buu Saga
- Everyone dies. Goku kills half of Majin Buu. It takes 110 episodes.
