Dragon Ball – Character List
A lot of people seem to like Dragon Ball and it’s other sequels so I am going to try to find out what it is all about without actually watching any of the epsiodes. I have a list of characters from Wikipedia and this shall be my starting point.
Son Goku
He isn’t the son of Goku, he’s just called Son Goku. Apparently he has uniquely styled hair which is a characteristic of a full blooded Saiyan (more on the Saiyans later). Hair sticking out in all directions defying gravity is unique indeed. Uniquely ridiculous. Japanese animé is known for spiky hairs in colours ranging from blue to bubblegum pink so I guess Son Goku’s hair is nothing strange (to them).
This is a picture of this guy:
Bulma
Bulma seems to be the typical ditzy female character. And she has turquoise coloured hair.
Muten Roshi
A wise and gentle old man who has a dirty mind and harasses women. Huh?
Kuririn
Hey, I remember this bald guy from one of the two or three episodes I accidentally watched. All he seemed to do was yell “Gohan!” or “Goku!” and pant from the exhaustion of fighting.
Piccolo
Don’t expect him to bear any resemblance to the musical instrument. This is Japanese animé, after all. Some sort of genderless pointy eared green guy with incredibly huge shoulder pads. He is either wearing a turban or bandages wrapped around his head.
I’ve covered most of the interesting looking characters. Next we’ll examine the storyline. Not for the faint of heart, I warn you!
If you want the entire Dragon Ball series, leave a comment below and I’ll sell it to you.

Hey! I was a big fan of DBZ some years back when they used to show it on Cartoon Network. I guess, if you watch the episodes in order then you’ll be able to follow the storyline better
Anyway, I remember I read quite a bit about this while I was watching it, and even used to write up summaries of episodes on my blog at the time. I watched the entire Saiyan Saga and the Namek Saga, and then those Cartoon Network guys stopped showing it. But man, if I even get the entire series somehow, I’d be interested to watch it all!
And now, they’re making a movie too. Emmy Rossum (the girl from The Day after Tomorrow) is playing Bulma. James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) is playing Piccolo! Don’t know whether the movie will be good. But I will definitely watch it!
