Used in place of Mr. Satan in the dragonball universe for censorship purposes. He became the world martial arts champion while the Z fighters were off doing other things. He is partially responsible for the defeat of Cell and Majin Buu, but instead of being modest he takes full credit for their defeat. He is the (overprotective) father of Videl.
Along with the Supreme Kai, Pan, Fortuneteller Baba, and Uub, Mr. Satan is one of the only characters out of the main cast who is never killed during the course of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT.
Although weak compared to the majority of the cast, Mr. Satan is a skilled martial artist, and his strength exceeds that of most humans.

Akira Toriyama revealed in the Super Exciting Guide interview that Hercule first name is Mark (マーク, Maaku), a rough anagram of Akuma, which means "Devil" or "Demon" in Japanese, keeping in line with his family's naming scheme.

Get the Hercule mug.The world martial arts champion from Dragonball, he becomes the champion easily to due none of the z fighters entering the tournament at the time. Android 18 let's him win the final battle in exchange for the prize money and another 10 million zeni.
In the fight between Vegito and Super Buu, Mr. Satan is able to see the fighters while they move and fight, while unable to sense energy, however Gohan, during the Saibaman struggle, could not see the fights until he concentrated on their energy, and not using his eyes. This is another plothole of the series.
Almost every time Mr. Satan has to come to the ring in the World Martial Arts Tournament, he usually ends up hurting himself, then he is forced to lie to the crowd saying that he was kidding around in order to keep his reputation.

Get the Mr. Satan mug.The father of Raditz and Goku (Kakarot). Bardock shares Goku's aptitude for battle and limitless capacity, despite being a "low-level" soldier. Bardock's wife is never referenced or mentioned in any of the dragonball movies or series. His name is a pun on the burdock herb.
Bardock gains psychic powers from a planet where he and his crew recently eradicated an entire race. The last survivor gives the power to his him as a gift so that he can see his son's future, and the fate of his planet and himself. He sees visions of his son growing up to be a good person, planet Vegeta being destroyed, and Goku defeating Frieza.

Bardock claims that he can remember his actions in his Great Ape form.
Bardock is one of the few saiyans to have gone to outer space and breathe normally, while fighting Frieza and his men.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi games, if Bardock fights Dodoria, Zarbon or Cooler, he states "I'll take you down and then Frieza!".
# It is likely that Bardock was the most powerful lower-class Saiyan soldier of his time. Near the time of his death, Bardock was rumored to have a power level of nearly 10,000, which is said to rival that of King Vegeta.
* This is backed by his ability to defeat Dodoria's Elite, despite being outnumbered 4-1, as well as surviving Dodoria's Mouth Energy Wave. Later on, the heavily-wounded Bardock fights through hundreds of Frieza's troops, on his own, in an effort to reach Frieza's ship. The power levels of the soldiers were not revealed.
Bardock was alive during the Saiyan-Tuffle war, which took place from Age 720 to about Age 730, and likely fought in it.

Get the Bardock mug.From the dragonball series, he is a martial arts master and teacher, having only two pupils (The Ox-king, and Grandfather Gohan) before Goku and Krillin. His master is Mutaito, a martial arts master that once saved the world from King Piccolo by sealing him in an electric jar using the Evil Containment Wave (Mafuba in Japanese). He is also referred to as The Turtle Hermit.

Get the Master Roshi mug.Goku's (Kakarot, Kakarrot) saiyan brother. He is a first class warrior, presumably making him stronger than "lower-class" saiyans like Tarble and Goku. and makes his first appearance in the first episode of Dragonball Z (DBZ for short). His name is a pun on Radish.
Raditz is a typical saiyan, he's naturally violent in nature, and his evil becomes even more clear as the series goes on. When he shows up, he is the strongest fighter on earth, and non of the Z Warriors had a chance against him alone. However Piccolo and Goku join forces momentarily to help stop him. He meets his end when Goku has him in a hold from behind, and having being weakened by Gohan's earlier attack (a flying, head-on (literally) attack while his power level was 1,370)), he is unable to break free.
As you might have guessed, Goku sacrifices himself to kill Raditz. He is killed with Piccolo's "Special Beam Canon" attack and it goes right through Raditz as well as Goku, killing them both.

Get the Raditz mug.From the anime Dragonball Z, Kaioken is the fighting technique taught to Goku (the only one to master this technique) by King Kai. Though King Kai created this technique, he admits that not even he is able to fully master it.
The technique is very similar to going super saiyan, although the power increase is not as high, it is very effective before Goku first transforms. Goku discontinues using the Kaioken attack after his fight with Pikkon, opting instead to attain high super saiyan levels.
The technique only last a few seconds according to Goku so you "have to get the job done quickly". It momentarily greatly increases your speed, strength and abilities, allowing you to achieve a power level unobtainable without the use of this technique.
Through experience and training, the user can achieve multiple 'levels' of Kaioken, increasing the users abilities even further. However, according to King Kai, if you go up too far, your body will not able to handle it, and all the mass in your body will be replaced by energy, thereby making it explode. Goku is able to withstand a 4x Kaioken while fighting Vegeta, (putting his fighting power well over 23,000) in order to counter his Galick Gun attack. However, after this feat his body is thrashed and has no other way of attacking other than using the spirit bomb, another technique exclusive to Goku and King Kai. Cell states that he could use this technique if he wanted to, however.

Get the Kaioken mug.plot convenience is a method of story-telling that forces unlikely events to take place because the story calls for it.
In the anime dragonball, Goku as a child transforms into a great ape twice within a year, the first was when they were trapped in 3 foot "special steel" thick cube prizon with tempered glass up on top, the full moon is out, and after he transforms he has his tail cut off.
plot convenience kicks in during the final round of the world martial arts tournament, Goku's tail grows back during his fight with Monster Beast Giran, and the full moon just happens to be out during the final fight. In other words plot convenience happens when coincidences must take place in order for the plot to advance.
