Hidden Facts

This page is just a few hundred hidden facts that may have escaped the mind. it goes thriugh Draginball, DBZ, and DBGT.

Hundreds of years ago, the Black star dragonballs were created and scattered across the universe. The Namek dragonballs were also created and scattered across Planet Namek. One set of dragonballs cracked and the evil dragonballs appeared. Seven evil dragons swept across and destroyed the region their dragonballs were scattered upon. Some time later in the heavens, Kaiou walks across Snake Way.

Years ago, on the Kaiou-shin planet, the Kaiou-shin gods lived peacefully. This ended when Boo terrorized the inhabitants. All the Kaiou-shins were killed except 3: Kaiou-shin (a kid at the time), his partner, and Dai Kaiou-shin. Boo was cursed to have an ugly fat appearance and restrained. Bibi-di, responsible for Boo, failed in his efforts when Boo was defeated. But his son, Babi-di, carries on the mission to re-unleash Boo. On Planet Plant, the Tsufuru-jins lived in peace and developed advanced technology. Out of nowhere, the primative Saiyans landed on the planet. They allied with the Tsufuru-jins. In exchange, the Tsufuru-jins offered their technology (space pods, armor, energy detection glasses, etc.) to the Saiyans. However, the Saiyans, led by Vegeta, eventually betrayed the Tsufuru-jins. War raged. A full moon occurred on the day of the fight and the Saiyans all reached their Oozaru (giant ape) stage. The Tsufuru-jins' weapons were of no match for the Saiyan power and were killed. During the fight, the Tsufuru-jins created Baby to fight the Saiyans, but he was never used in battle. The Saiyans took over the planet. Vegeta renamed the planet to Planet Vegeta and made himself king. Later, a planet conquerer, Freeza, came along. He killed King Vegeta, conquered Planet Vegeta, and used the Saiyans as his mercenaries to conquer other planets. Next, Freeza plotted to destroy Planet Vegeta and a hero named Bardock arose. His story is told in Bardock Story: Lonely Final Battle. Thus, Planet Vegeta and nearly all the Saiyans were destroyed. Meanwhile, Prince Vegeta and his partner, Nappa, were out destroying other planets. Bardock's eldest son, Raditz, was also away from Planet Vegeta at the time. At the same time, Bardock's youngest son, Kakarot, was sent to Planet Earth (a Saiyan tradition of sending babies out to destroy weak planets).

On Earth, Baby Kakarot was found by Granpa Gohan, a student of Master Roshi, and renamed to Gokou. Gokou was a vicious baby, but after he was dropped on his head, he lost his instinct to destroy the planet. Gokou was raised by Grandpa Gohan. From him, Gokou learned martial arts. One night, a full moon occurred, Gokou reached his Oozaru stage, and smashed Granpa Gohan. When it was all over, Gohan told his grandson never to look at the full moon again, and died. Gokou did not know why or what happened. Afterwards, Gokou lived by himself in the wild (Gohan lived away from civilization.), believing that his grandpa's spirit was in the 4 star dragonball because this ball was left to him as a trinket.

Gokou's seclusion ended soon, when he met Bulma (the first girl he had ever seen), the daughter of a scientist and president of Capsule Corpation. This marked the beginning of Dragonball! Then, the two met Oolong, Yamcha, Puar, the Ox-King, Chi-Chi, and Master Roshi in their journey to seek the seven dragonballs. (Oolong wanted to wish for a pair of panties, Yamcha wanted a girlfriend, Bulma wanted a boyfriend, and Gokou simply followed because his "grandpa's" dragonball was used and he wanted adventure.) In this series, our heroes dealt with Pilaf, who fled after having Oozura Gokou destroy his castle. Later, a Tenkaichi Budoukai contest was being held. The gang met Klilyn. Gokou and Klilyn trained under Master Roshi (the Turtle elder) for the tournament. In this contest, the "turtle" team faced the "crane" team, which consisted of Chauzu and Tenshin-han, who trained under the Crane elder, Tsuru-sennin. (Chauzu and Tenshin-han later found out that their master was evil and abandoned him.)

Meanwhile, a Namek landed on Earth. This guardian wanted to be pure, so he separated into 2 forms- one good, and one evil. The good Namek became known as Kami. The evil one became Daimao, the Demon King. The two rivaled. Kami seeked Gokou, who was pure of heart, to help. Gokou trained under Kami and Karin-sennin. Gokou fought and killed Daimao, not knowing that Daimao further separated himself into 2 beings- himself, and Piccolo. Dragonball also tells about how Gokou dealt with other villians such as Jackie Chan and Tao Pai-Pai. In another story, Gokou met Red Ribbon, fought, and killed him. (But, Red Ribbon's follower, Dr. Gero, survived. Since then, he had a grudge against Gokou.) After a few years, Gokou grew up (and so did Piccolo). Piccolo met with Gokou to avenge his father, but Piccolo was defeated at the end. Piccolo's life was spared, and Gokou married Chi-Chi. This marked the end of Dragonball.

Next, five more years passed. This marked the beginning of Dragonball Z. First, Gokou faces Vegeta, as told in the Vegeta Series. Second, he deals with Freeza in the Freeza Series. Next, he fights Cell in the Cell Story. Finally, more years pass and the Z gang faces Boo in the Boo Series. This marks the end of Dragonball Z.

Now, more years pass and we move on to Dragonball GT. Here, Baby makes his appearance in the Baby Series. Proceedingly, was the final DragonBall series, the Evil Shenlong Series.

Like many great stories, Dragonball starts out faultless. But, as the story progresses, the writers often forget about the small yet significant points they stated earlier. Some attempted "cover-ups" of earlier errors can also led to more errors.


(1) When Cell exploded, he regenerated from a single surviving brain

(2) In the Boo Series, Gohan trained to become Mystic Gohan, a stage where he was able to become stronger than reaching Super Saiyan form. Therefore, he does not reach SSJ mode when he fights Boo.

(3) When Oozaru Vegeta-Bebi detransformed, Baby said that he must escape because his body had grown; Vegeta's body was squashing him.

(4) Piccolo sacrificed himself after the defeat of Baby when the Earth exploded. He said that it was a final attempt to destroy the Black Star Dragonballs. (Kami created them. Since that Kami and Piccolo began one, if Piccolo died the dragonballs will in turn turn to stone.) (5) It didn't matter about the Earth dragonballs if Piccolo died. However, what about According to the Official DragonBall Page, Planet Vegeta is 363115496481 light years away from Earth.

When Future Trunks first appears, Vegeta doubts that he is a Saiyan because he has purple hair. He said that most Saiyans have black hair.(6)


In an episode, Vegeta says that a pure breed Saiyan is born with a hair style and remains with that hair style for the rest of his life. He says that it cannot be changed.(7)

Gokou and Vegeta are full-bred Saiyans and are born with tails. Gohan is a half-bred Saiyan, but was also born with a tail.(8)

Nameks are classified into two groups: healers and warriors. Healers can heal anyone, but can't fight. Warriors can fight, but can't heal. (Dende is a healer and Piccolo is a warrior.)


Fusion

The guardian of the Earth split into 2 forms: Kami (pure good) and Daimoa (pure evil). Daimoa had a son, Piccolo, who fused permanently back with Kami. This was what he meant when you fused- that he was neither Kami nor Piccolo, "just a Namek who had long forgotten his name".

Daimoa and Kami were originally one. If one died, both died. Daimoa had given birth to Piccolo at the time he was about to die, so in essence, Piccolo was Daimoa. This is why Kami didn't die when Daimoa got killed. Piccolo made up for the link.

Piccolo permanently fused with Nail.

The fusion technique used by Goten and Trunks to form Gotenks is temporary and can only last for 1/2 hour.

The fusion technique used by Gokou and Vegeta to form Vegetto is permanent, but the effects were cancelled out when he was eaten by Boo.

Fat Boo separated into two Boos. The evil Boo was killed and reincarnated into Ubuu. When good Boo was killed by Vegeta-Bebi, his particles fused with Ubuu.

When Goten fused with Trunks to form Gotenks, Gotenks ended up wearing the fusion suit, as did Ubuu when he fused with Boo.(9)


Life

Granpa Gohan found Baby Gokou on Mount Paozu.(10)

Gokou lived on this mountain until he met Bulma. Afterwards, he moved from place to place.

Gokou moved back to Mount Paozu after he married Chi-Chi.

At first, Chi-Chi wanted to name Gohan "Einstein".

Gokou moved to Sataan City later for Gohan's education.

Gokou and Chi-Chi never went to work.The characters were supported by money won from the Tenkaichi Budoukai tournaments (ten million zennins for the winner of the first championship).

Vegeta grew up a nomad destroying life from planet to planet.

Bulma's father, Dr. Briefs, was the head of Capsule Corporation. This explains why Bulma is so rich and why she has and knows such advanced technology.

Trunks became the president of Capsule Corporation when he grew up.(11)

Nameks live on nothing but water. They do not need to eat.(12)

Nameks reproduce asexually. This is shown when Daimao spits Piccolo out of his mouth.

The androids were not robots, but cyborgs (part-human, part-robotic). This is why Android 18 was able to give birth to a daughter, Marron.


Movies
Most of the DragonBall movies are add-ons, but their storylines don't pertain to the storyline of the series.

Movie 1 never occurred because Gohan was abducted by Raditz as soon as he met the Z crew. Movie 1 took place where Gohan was abducted by Garlic Jr. when he already knew Piccolo and Klilyn. If Movie 1 is false, then Garlic Jr. doesn't exist. However, he made an appearance in the Freeza Series.

Movie 2 couldn't have taken place because Gokou used the Kaioken technique. Goku fought Nappa and Vegeta as soon as he learned the technique. After the battle, he was severely injured so he couldn't have fought Dr. Wheel.

Movie 3 should take place after the fight against Vegeta because Gohan had the mushroom haircut, but before the defeat of Freeza because Gokou Trunks wasn't present. If this is so, Tenshin-han, Piccolo, Yamcha, and Chauzu should be dead. They fought in Movie 3.

Movie 4 is false for the same reasons as Movie 3; Piccolo should have been dead. He appeared in Movie 4.

Gohan has a purple baby dragon pet in Movies 3, 4, and 5. The dragon just disappears and is never seen or talked about again.

Movie 5 could have been real, but Vegeta and Trunks were missing. Coola boasted that he was here to kill all remaining Saiyans, but fails to consider Vegeta and Trunks in his quest.

Movie 6 could have also been real, but Trunks was no where to be found.

In Movie 7, Trunks' sword shattered when he used it to attack the fused Androids 13, 14, and 15. In the series, Trunks always had his sword.

In Movie 8, our heroes should have been preoccupied dealing with Cell.

Trunks was present in Movie 9. However, Trunks returned to the future as soon as Cell was killed. Therefore, Movie 9 could only be real if it took place between the time Cell died and the brief interval before he returned to his time.

Movies 10 and 11 are false if Movie 8 is. If Brolly never existed, that automatically makes Brolly's sequel movies fake.

Movie 12 is false of numerous reasons. Boo was causing destruction throughout the Earth when the movie took place, but no signs of Boo were seen.

Movie 13 was created to try to explain where Future Trunks acquired his sword. It shows that Tapion gave it to him as a gift.(13)

In Dragonball Movie 4 (the remake of the first Dragonball episode), Gokou starts out wearing a blue suit.(14)

Powerups

To try to clarify this error, Movie 8 introduces Brolly, the Legendary Saiyan who apears every 1000 years.
