Broly: Legendary Saiyajin with overwhelming power. Bardock: Father of Goku. Cabba, Kale and Cauliflower: Saiyajins of the 6 Universe.

General appearance of the Saiyajins

Common physical features (both sexes): Dark hair (usually black) and straight or spiky. It does not change with age. Dark eyes (black or brown). Athletic and muscular body by nature, even without training. Monkey tail (for pure-bloods) that allows them to transform into Ohzaru during a full moon. In transformations like Super Saiyan, the hair turns golden and the eyes turn blue-green. Gender differences: Saiyan Men: Generally more muscular and taller. Examples: Goku, Vegeta, Broly, Bardock, Turles. Very distinctive and unique hairstyle style per individual. Saiyan Women: They also have toned and athletic bodies, but with more stylized figures. Examples: Caulifla, Kale, Fasha (from the Bardock movie), Gine (Goku's mother). Although they are not as common in history, Saiyan women are also powerful and combative. --- General personality of the Saiyans Common characteristics (men and women): Battle Lovers: They enjoy fighting by nature. Proud: They have a lot of pride in their race and abilities. Extreme Bravery: They rarely shy away from combat, even in the face of superior enemies. Competitive: They like to outdo others and themselves. Warrior instinct: They are born to fight; combat is part of their culture. Cultural and personality differences: Pure Saiyans (from planet Vegeta): They were more aggressive, cold and brutal. They fought and conquered planets on commission (for Freezer, for example). They didn't show much emotional attachment (except for a few, like Gine and Bardock). Saiyans raised on Earth (Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Goten): Kinder, more protective and emotional, thanks to human influence. They seek to improve as fighters, but they also protect their loved ones and the planet.

Ohzaru (Great Monkey / Giant Monkey)

What is it? The Ohzaru (also called Ōzaru or Great Ape in English) is a transformation that full-blooded Saiyans can achieve by looking at a full moon (or any source of "Blutz Waves", such as the artificial sphere used by Vegeta). It allows them to multiply their power by 10. --- Features of the Ohzaru: Appearance: A giant hairy ape, with dark brown fur, large fangs, and glowing red eyes. Height: Approximately 15-20 meters high. Increased Power: The Saiyan's ki is multiplied by 10. Language: Although they retain their voice, many lose speech and communicate with grunts or roars. Mind control: Goku (as a child) completely lost control. Vegeta could maintain his consciousness in Ohzaru form, making him much more dangerous. --- Conditions for transformation: 1. Have an intact Saiyan tail. 2. Being exposed to full moon light or a Blutz wave source (17 million units). 3. Look directly at the moon or the energy source. --- Weakness: The tail: This is their weak point. If cut, they instantly return to their normal form. They can also be defeated by much stronger enemies or clever tactics (as Gohan did against Vegeta in the Saiyan saga). --- Curiosities: Goku accidentally killed his grandfather Gohan when he transformed into Ohzaru (unknowingly). Vegeta uses this form against Goku in their first major battle. In Dragon Ball GT, this form evolves into Golden Ohzaru, which is necessary to reach Super Saiyan 4. Some Saiyan-Human hybrids do not develop tails (such as Trunks and Goten), so they cannot transform like that.

Planet Vegeta

Original name: It was previously called Planet Sadala (in universe 7). It was renamed Planet Vegeta in honor of King Vegeta, Vegeta's father. --- Location: Universe 7, under the control of Frieza's army. There is also a Planet Sadala in Universe 6 (home to the good Saiyans like Caulifla and Cabba). --- Characteristics of the planet: High Gravity: Increases the natural strength and resistance of the Saiyans. Extreme Climate: Harsh conditions, ideal for a warrior race. Military culture: Society based on ranks of power, strength and conquests. Advanced technology, but focused on combat. --- Population: Pureblood Saiyans: Extremely powerful warrior race. Social classes: Lower class: Like Goku (Kakarotto), sent to distant planets. Elite Class: Like Vegeta and his father, they are born with high power levels. --- Important story: 1. Conquest of the planet: Originally, the planet was inhabited by another race (the Tfuru). The Saiyans exterminated them and took control of the planet. 2. Alliance with Freezer: The Saiyans began working for Frieza, conquering planets. Frieza began to fear his growth and power. 3. Destruction of the planet: Freeza destroyed Planet Vegeta with a Supernova, fearing the legend of the Super Saiyan. Only a few Saiyans survived: Goku, Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa, Broly, Paragus and Tarble (in different versions). --- Curiosities: Planet Sadala still exists in Universe 6, and its Saiyans are more noble and peaceful. In Dragon Ball Super, Cabba mentions that the U6 Sadala is still intact and has a current king. The planet had gravity 10 times greater than Earth's, which made its inhabitants naturally strong.

General Hierarchy on Planet Vegeta (Universe 7)

1. Frieza Family – Supreme Rulers of the Galactic Empire These characters are above the Saiyans and dominate hundreds of races and planets: King Cold Patriarch of the family. Former emperor of the universe before Frieza took control. Similar in appearance to Frieza but more corpulent. Although powerful, his son Frieza surpassed him. Freezer Ruler of the Frieza Army. Main antagonist of the Saiyans. He ordered the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Extremely cruel and manipulative. Cooler (Not canon, only in movies) Frieza's older brother. More strategic and serious. He is not in the main story, but he has his own army. --- 2. Saiyan Organization (on Planet Vegeta) King Vegeta King of the Saiyans. Prince Vegeta's father. He ruled his people but was subordinate to Freezer. Proud, but could not directly oppose the Galactic Empire. Prince Vegeta Son of King Vegeta. Considered an elite Saiyan prodigy. He was taken by Frieza to train him from a young age (and use him). --- 3. Saiyan Warrior Classes The Saiyans were divided into classes, based on their power level at birth: Elite Class The strongest. Examples: Vegeta, Nappa, Bardock (according to some versions). They receive important missions, they lead squadrons. Middle class Competent, but not exceptional, warriors. Example: Raditz. They are common soldiers. Lower Class Very low power level. Example: Goku (Kakarotto). They are usually sent to weak planets to conquer them alone (as babies). --- 4. Saiyan Army / Troops Saiyan Squadrons: Small groups for conquest missions. Combat Technology: Individual capsules. Battle armor (inspired by that of Frieza's army). Scouters to measure ki. They all trained from a very young age and valued combat above all else.

Power Levels in Dragon Ball

In the early Dragon Ball Z sagas, power levels were used to measure characters' strength. These levels were very important until the Frieza Saga, after which precise measurement was abandoned due to the exponential growth of warriors. Initial sagas: Goku (kid) starts with a very low power level, around 10. Raditz, Goku's brother, has a power of 1,200, proving that Saiyans are significantly stronger than average humans. Throughout the saga, Goku trains and increases his power, such as when he uses the Kaioken to surpass 20,000 power. Freezer Saga: Frieza has amazing power, starting at 530,000 in his first form and increasing to 120 million in his final form when he is at 100% of his power. Goku, after training, reaches the Super Saiyan (SSJ) transformation, which gives him much greater power, exceeding 150 million power. --- Transformations and Subsequent Powers: Super Saiyan (SSJ) The power of a Super Saiyan is a vast improvement over the base form. It's estimated to multiply a Saiyan's base power by 50 times, making characters like Goku much stronger in this form. Super Saiyan 2 (SSJ2) SSJ2 is an enhancement of SSJ, which further increases strength and speed, but at the cost of greater energy consumption. This transformation is famous for its power boost, and was first seen in Gohan during the fight against Cell. Super Saiyan 3 (SSJ3) SSJ3 multiplies the power of SSJ2 by ​​four times. Although extremely powerful, this form consumes a large amount of energy, making it difficult to maintain. Super Saiyan God (SSG) In Dragon Ball Super, Super Saiyan Gods have access to power beyond any previous form. This transformation connects Saiyans with divine energy, greatly increasing their power and control over ki.

Power Levels in Dragon Ball

Super Saiyan Blue (SSJB) The Super Saiyan form is a blend of the Super Saiyan form with divine power, making it stronger than the Super Saiyan form. It's a more stable and controlled form, but still more powerful than any conventional Super Saiyan form. Ultra Instinct (UI) Ultra Instinct is a form that goes beyond physical power and focuses on the perfection of movement. Goku achieves this form, in which his body moves without thinking, reacting with automatic reflexes. It's an extremely difficult ability to master and represents an extraordinary level of power. --- Freezer's family: The Frieza family is one of the main antagonists in Dragon Ball Z and possesses power that surpasses that of many Saiyans. King Cold: Frieza's father. He is an extremely powerful warrior, but he is not as powerful as his son. Freeza: The galactic emperor, whose power reaches 120 million in his final form. Cooler: Frieza's brother, although he only appears in the movies, he is stronger than Frieza in his final form and is considered a fearsome rival. --- Power Development in Dragon Ball Super and Beyond: As the series progresses, the characters in Dragon Ball Super push the boundaries established in Dragon Ball Z. Concepts such as divine ki, advanced techniques, and powers that cannot be measured simply by numbers are introduced.

Options for Saiyan Women in Your Story

Option 1: Transformation into Ozaru If a Saiyan woman sees a full or artificial moon, just like men, she could transform into an Ozaru. However, since Saiyans generally have a wild and primitive nature, upon transforming into an Ozaru, the woman could momentarily lose control of her emotions and become extremely aggressive, out of control, or even territorial. Transformation into Ozaru: As with men, her body grows enormously, her eyes turn red and her intelligence is greatly diminished. Psychological effect: Like men, she could become more instinctive and wild, fighting or destroying everything in her path. Option 2: Resistance and Emotional Performance (Jealousy or Sexual Frustration) In this case, upon seeing the full or artificial moon, instead of fully transforming into an Ozaru, the Saiyan woman might experience a mental resistance that prevents her from fully transforming, but in return, her emotions overflow more intensely. This could manifest itself in a state of heat or sexual frustration, which could be an interesting theme to explore in a story, depending on how you handle the narrative. Transformation Resistance: Instead of physically transforming into an Ozaru, a Saiyan woman may be able to resist the transformation, but her sexual and emotional energy is unleashed uncontrollably. This frustration may lead her to seek out a mate to vent her inner tension. Jealousy or Attraction: By resisting the transformation, the woman may become more aggressive or possessive, with a need to get closer to her partner or someone who is her "equal." This could lead to interesting conflicts if other characters (such as a partner or someone in the group) become involved.

Possible Effects on History

1. Full Moon: The full moon is still a natural trigger, but perhaps with proper control or training, the Saiyan woman can avoid transformation or emotional overflow. 2. Artificial Moon: Being a technological creation, you could play with the idea that the Saiyans' mind control could be more or less effective depending on the technology used to create the artificial moon. Perhaps this moon is used in certain training situations or in scenarios where the Saiyans want to test their emotional or physical endurance. --- Aspects you could focus on for a story: Self-control: How do Saiyan women manage their wild nature or emotions when facing the full moon? Do they have a special way of training to avoid this state of frustration or transformation? Interpersonal Relationships: This is an excellent opportunity to explore couple dynamics or emotional conflicts within the story, where intense emotions are unleashed by the influence of the moon. Impact of Saiyan culture: Perhaps Saiyan culture sees these types of instincts as a natural manifestation of their power, or on the contrary, as something that must be repressed or controlled.

The Saiyan Tail: Source of Power and Vulnerability

Function of the Tail The Saiyan tail not only has symbolic and biological value, but is a direct source of power and a connection to one's most primal roots. If a Saiyan's tail is intact, it acts as an energetic channel that amplifies their power, especially when they are in the presence of a full moon or an artificial moon. 1. Power Source: The tail channels cosmic or natural energy, which is primarily activated when the Saiyan faces extreme emotions or sees the moon. This energy amplifies his physical abilities and allows him to access powerful transformations like Ozaru. 2. Transformation into Ozaru: Only Saiyans with tails have the ability to transform into Ozaru, a gigantic ape that greatly increases their power. Without the tail, this transformation is impossible. On artificial moons, which are created using advanced technology, the tail still plays the same role, but mental control over this energy is crucial. Saiyans who lack complete control can lose their minds and become more primitive. --- Tail Docking Vulnerability When a Saiyan's tail is severed, they are severely affected. This loss of such a vital part of their body significantly diminishes their power. The following consequences can be included here: 1. Decrease in Power: By losing their tail, a Saiyan loses a significant portion of their energy and, therefore, their power. This affects both their physical abilities and their ability to transform into Ozaru. A tailless Saiyan will not be able to access the raw power of an Ozaru, limiting his combat options if he finds himself in a highly challenging situation. 2. Disqualification from Transforming into Ozaru: The lack of a tail means that a Saiyan cannot access the Ozaru transformation. This is a major disadvantage for a Saiyan warrior, as the Ozaru form gives them a massive power boost.

The Saiyan Tail: Source of Power and Vulnerability

Tail Holding Effect If an enemy or even an ally grabs a Saiyan's tail, it can severely impair their fighting ability. The tail is very sensitive, and grabbing it can instantly weaken the Saiyan, as it is directly related to their power. 1. Temporary Weakness: When restrained, a Saiyan can fall into a state of weakness or temporary paralysis. It's as if their energy is drained, and their body loses strength. This makes them vulnerable in combat, as their fighting ability is diminished. 2. Resistance of Experienced Warriors: Experienced Saiyans, those who have trained for years and have exceptional control over their power, can withstand this weakening. While it's still a weakness, they can maintain control of their energy and avoid falling into a powerless state if someone grabs their tail. Mind or energy control techniques: Warriors like Vegeta, Goku, and Trunks can use techniques or sheer willpower to overcome the effects of their tail being restrained. This involves concentration, mental training, or even using their ki to counteract the weakening. --- Narrative and Strategic Possibilities: Training: The most powerful Saiyans likely train specifically to resist or neutralize the weakness caused by tail binding. This type of training could be part of the story, showing how Saiyan warriors improve their endurance. Tail Loss: Some Saiyans may experience the loss of their tail. This could be a point of conflict, as some may see it as a major weakness or even a loss of part of their identity and power. Others may use it as an opportunity to train and adapt, proving they are more than just a tail. Strategic Use: In combat, capturing or holding a Saiyan's tail could be a crucial strategy to weaken a powerful enemy.
