Bardock

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.

Family:
# Goku (Son)
# Raditz (Son)
# Chi-Chi (Daughter in Law) Ox-King (Brother-In-law)
# Gohan (Grandson)
# Goten (Grandson)
# Videl (Granddaughter-in-law)
# Pan (Great-granddaughter)
# Goku Jr. (Great-great-great-grandson)
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.

Master Mutaito

Master Roshi, and Master Shen's master. He saved the world from King Piccolo by using the Mafuba (Evil Containment Wave in the English dub), and dies because of it. He meets with Goku in the past as part of his training, but Goku is no match for him. This is curious seeing how Goku was able to defeat King Piccolo prior to his training, and Master Mutaito is no match for King Piccolo despite this. It may be his superior fighting technique and Goku's lack of mental discipline that make him able to beat him.
Master Mutaito's hairstyle is the same as the wig Master Roshi wore when disguised as Jackie Chun.

Kido

Kido (key-dough); demon magic, are spells used in the Bleach universe by Shinigami (Death Gods). There are two different kinds of Kido, binding and destruction; they are usually prefixed by an incantation unique to the spell.

After the incantation is said, it is followed by "Way of binding/destruction #(kido rank 1-99)" followed by the spell's name.

With proper training one can perform kido spells without the incantation to throw the opponent off-guard, however the spell will not be as powerful without it. Kuchiki Rukia and Kuchiki Byakuya are capable of this feat.

The higher ranking the spell, the harder it is to use without an incantation, people like Renji, who can barely use kido to begin with, are not experienced enough in Kido to use spells outside of very simple ones. Every ranked officer in the Gotei 13 Protection Squads are able to use kido except for Zaraki Kenpachi.
Kido is energy from within, the more powerful the spell, the longer the incantations are and the more focus they require for proper execution. Losing your concentration in the middle of performing a destruction spell will cause the spell to explode.

Master Roshi

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.
That's Master Roshi, the king of martial arts.

Lie to Me

A popular TV showed aired Monday's on Fox (as of 2010). The main character is Dr. Cal Lightman, a professional deception expert, a skilled reader of body language in order to determine what a person is thinking, and interpret their emotions.
Lie to me is one of my favorite shows because Cal is a highly likable character.

Symbolism

The representation of anything by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character.
The twilight movies have quite a bit of pro-abstinence symbolism.

Vegeta

The prince of all saiyans. He is dragonball z's second villain (along with nappa). He is named after his father and his home planet, formerly Planet Plant. It is when he first arrives on namek that he begins to change his evil ways, and later in the series, he would become one of the good guys. After witnessing Goku (Kakarot)'s strength, he understands his potential to become a super saiyan, and obsesses over becoming one throughout the rest of the series.

He falsely believes he is a super saiyan after coming back from near death some time after realizing that Goku is a super saiyan. He starts to become less evil after arriving on Earth after Frieza's defeat, but still retains his mean and arrogant attitude. He starts dedicating every hour of every day to training, pushing himself to hit limits and beyond, training at 450x normal gravity in order to become a super saiyan, and nearly killing himself in a training accident on earth. He goes to train in space as not to be bothered by Bulma or anyone else, and finally transforms on a planet where a meteor shower was going on.

His name, like all Saiyans is a pun on vegetables, his name is a pun on the word vegetable.
Vegeta was able to transform into a super saiyan because of his motivation to be the best, and more importantly, better than Goku. His extreme frustration and NEEDING to experience becoming a super saiyan, he finally transforms after giving up his selfish ambition. For the brief period of time between Goku getting sick and transforming, he becomes stronger than him, but is surpassed during his training in other world where he learns to become a super saiyan 3. He does not surpass Goku until he transforms into a super saiyan 4.
