Como um grande resumo, Dragon Ball é sobre lutadores com super poderes para salvar o mundo contra monstros também com super poderes. Todos eles podem voar, jogar rajadas de ki (tipo como bolas de fogo), e encontrar os seus inimigos ao sentir o seu espírito. Mas alguns têm as suas próprias técnicas.

Aqui estão agora os personagens e os conceitos que você precisa saber.

Manga e Cartoon (Anime)

Dragon Ball é um mangá, desenhado por Akira Toriyama, 1985 a 1995.
Este mangá foi totalmente adaptada como anime, chamada Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, então, é por isso que às vezes usamos o "DBZ".
A maioria das imagens que você vê aqui vêm do cartoon. Todos os outros foram feitos por nós.

Os Saiyajins

Son Goku

Vegeta

Eles são extra-terrestres que se parecem com seres humanos. Eles vêm do planeta Vegeta. Natural-nascidos lutadores e Guerreiros, eles estão no centro da história de Dragon Ball. Seu planeta foi destruído pelo monstro Freeza (ver parte "os vilões"). Há apenas dois sobreviventes: Son Goku, o herói, e Vegeta, o príncipe dos Saiyajins. Ambos vivem na Terra agora.

No começo, Vegeta odiava Son Goku e sempre quis provar a sua superioridade. No começo, Goku foi chamado Kakarotto, e foi enviado à Terra, onde ele perdeu a memória e seu comportamento violento.

Ambos criaram uma família e tem filhos, que são metade humano, que lhes dão um poder ainda superior. Mas esses meio-Saiyajins não se importam muito de lutar.

Son Gohan

Son Goten (SSJ)

Son Goten

O primeiro filho de Son Goku se chama Son Gohan (36 anos). Ele não lutou em um longo tempo, mas ele era no final de Dragon Ball, o mais forte de todos.

O segundo filho de Son Goku se chama Son Goten (27 anos). Ele ajudou nas lutas, mas realmente só não é para ele.

Trunks

Trunks (SSJ)

Bra

O primeiro filho de Vegeta se chama Trunks (28 anos). Ele é o melhor amigo de Goten, e eles não se importam muito de lutar, apesar de ambos serem incrivelmente fortes.
Em Dragon Ball, Trunks veio pela primeira vez de um futuro pós-apocalíptico alternativa e participou da história.

Vegeta também tem uma filha chamada Bra (16 anos).

Videl

Pan

Son Gohan desistiu de lutar e se casou com Videl, a filha do Mr. Satan, campeão do mundo assim chamado em combate. Eles têm uma filha, Pan (14 anos).

Please note the ages of some characters differ from different sources. The ones that are given here are the ones we use in our comics.

Transformations

Some beings can change their appearance, which usually releases a higher power and fighting skills.

The Saiyans and descendants of Saiyans can turn into Super Saiyans (also known as SSJ), if they are strong and skilled enough to do so. Then their hair becomes yellow and erected. A yellow aura surrounds them.
If they are more powerful, they can also turn to Super Saiyan level 2: the hair is longer and the aura is surrounded by electric sparks.
Finally, a 3rd level exists, that only Son Gokû and Gotenks (see "fusions" part) have achieved. The hair becomes so long it can touch the ground, the eyebrows disappear, and the aura becomes the shape of a sphere.

Half-Saiyans can transform too. But Son Gohan never transforms, not because of a lack of power (the opposite), but because a God (Kaioshin) liberated his full potential of power. He doesn't need to turn Super Saiyan and fights immediately with his maximum power.

Example: Son Gokû not transformed, then in Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2 and lastly Super Saiyan 3.

The monster Freeza (see "the villains" part) and all of it's family have several transformations in which their entire body changes shape.

The Fusions

If two people are the same size and can synchronize their power, they can, by performing a little strange dance, fuse into one being, for a period of 30 minutes.
Half-Saiyans Son Goten and Trunks mastered this technique and turn into "Gotenks", who is much stronger than both of them together.

Gotenks, Gotenks as Super Saiyan, then as Super Saiyan 3
(when Goten and Trunks were 7 and 8 years old)

The gods (Kaioshins) also possess earrings named Potala, if two people wear one each, they are fused together, for life. The earrings can be taken off and used again.
In order to fight Buu (see "the villains" part), Son Gokû and Vegeta used potalas to fuse, and became "Vegetto". But unexpectedly, the fusion took off when they were inside Buu. Since then, Son Gokû and Vegeta are back among us.

Vegetto, normal and turned into a Super Saiyan.

The Nameks

A namek (Nail)

Piccolo

The Nameks, inhabitants of planet Namek, are wise, powerful, and... asexual. They are green, they speak a Namek language (whereas all the universe speaks English fluently), and can regenerate any of their limbs if it's cut.

Some specialize in fighting and can be very powerful. Others specialize in magic and can heal people, or create Dragon Balls (see next part). All can create useful items from thin air, like clothing.

Two Nameks live on Earth, in the Earth's God Palace : Piccolo, a fighter, and Dende, a magician.

The Dragon Balls

Dragon Balls

It's a set of 7 transparent balls containing a certain number of stars each that differentiate them. One ball contains one star, another 2, etc. until 7 stars.

If you gather the 7, you can call (in the right language) the holy dragon, who appears and grant you one or several wishes. After that, he disappears and the 7 balls spread out around the world, transformed into mere rocks.
After some time, the balls become transparent again, and you can gather and wish again.

You can wish for almost anything, like bringing back the dead to life. For example Son Gokû already died two times (Vegeta too), but he is alive today. You can also resurrect several people if you wish it in one sentence. For example all earthlings were dead, but they feel better now :)
The dragon can't grant a wish that asks for more power than his creator already has, like destroying a very powerful monster.

Shenron

Porunga

One Dragon Ball set is on Earth. Created by Dende, the dragon's name is Shenron, he grants 2 wishes.
Originally, he was created by the "father" of Piccolo and could grant only one wish, and never granted the same thing twice.

Another is on Namek. Created by the Nameks' chief, the dragon's name is Porunga, he grants 3 wishes.
Originally, he could not resurrect more than one guy per wish. He only answers to wishes asked in Namek language, although he answers in a perfect English.

The Villains

Numerous extremely powerful monsters threatened the survival of the Earth, or the universe. Almost all of them were destroyed by our heroes.

Lord Freeza

King Cold

Freeza, with his father, King Cold and his brother Coola, was the first monster. He possess several transformations, in which all his body changes, and his power increases accordingly. All of the family was killed by our heroes, who recently turned into Super Saiyans.

Cell is a genetically created monster, who possess in himself all the skills and powers of all our heroes (saiyans, nameks, humans, and even Freeza). He can heal any wound and regenerate a limb, even his entire self. The only way to kill him is destroying him completely, to the last cell.
He was killed by Son Gohan turned into Super Saiyan 2 (a transformation he's not using any more, as you now know)

Broly trying to get free of his bonds

He succeeded. Run away!

Broly is the Legendary Saiyan. He possess a superpower that never stops growing. He is almost invincible and totally impossible to restrain.
When he was little, he saved himself and his father from the destruction of planet Vegeta, thanks to his already enormous power. His father then made him wear a hair-band that made him unable to use his power. Alas, his meeting with Son Gokû, who he hates since he is born, made him break the hair-band and transform into, well, the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Yes in fact, on planet Vegeta, when Son Gokû was just a baby Saiyan named Kakarot, he was constantly crying, and prevented Broly, a baby too, from sleeping. Some grudges just never go away... ;)
He was overcome by the sum of all the team's power. Well.. we thought he was !

Buu absorbing someone

Mr Buu: influenced by Babidi, then friend of Satan

Uub: Buu's reincarnation

Buu is a magical monster manipulated by the wizard Babidi. This candy-pink monster can change of shape, and separate into many pieces, stretch, recover missing bits... as long as he has some power left, he can be blown to bits as many times as possible, he always comes back.
He has the magical ability to turn his opponent into candy, which he likes to eat. But worse (if that can exist), he can absorb an opponent (by surrounding him with his body) and take his power. He can keep in himself as many people he wants, and, it seems, add up their powers. He wears their clothes and is shaped like the most powerful being inside him.
Thousands of years ago, Buu killed or absorbed all of the Gods (the 5 Kaioshins) except one. But the most powerful of them, wasn't the strongest, on the opposite, and changed his personality completely. Ever since, Buu was then fat, merry and quick-tempered. Back on Earth with Babidi, he killed his naughty master and became friend with Mr Satan, who taught him to not kill people for no reason.
But, in order to become fully good, Buu separated into two beings. The good one, with the same chubby body, now named Mr Buu, and the bad one, who will fight our usual heroes.
The bad Buu will absorb Piccolo and Gotenks, then Son Gohan. But even like this, he couldn't win against Vegetto, who willingly got absorbed in order to free his friends. In his body, Vegetto suddenly separated into Son Gokû and Vegeta, who could still free their friends.
Losing his inner support, Buu came back into his original shape, that you won't see here, and was definitely defeated.
However, on Son Gokû's request, his soul was reincarnated and the earthling Uub was born. Son Gokû took on him to train him. From Buu's existence now, two beings remain: Mr Buu (kind, but not powerful compared to the original) and Uub (human, but with great inner power).
