"See we're like a secret task force that protects the Earth."
Yajirobe in "The Darkest Day"

The Dragon Team (ドラゴンチーム Doragon Chīmu),[1][2] also known as the Dragon Ball Gang, is a group of Earth's mightiest warriors. Formed during Goku and Bulma's search for the Dragon Balls, they have since fought many battles in order to test their skills and reach other goals, and in turn have become the unofficial defenders of Earth.

The sub-team of fighters who are a part of the Dragon Team are referred to as the Z Fighters (Z戦士 Zetto Senshi, lit. "Z Warriors"). Due to them just being a group of martial artists who group up from time to time, they have no official leader or particular positions. Members will act of their own accord at times, though most if not all have some sort of sense of justice (or eventually developed one) and will make drastic decisions to defend their home. Throughout the years, the group consistently bolstered its ranks through the addition of former enemies and new heroes; they've routinely overcame seemingly insurmountable opponents and always emerged victorious against progressively more powerful foes.

The Z Fighters have alternatively been referred to as: the Super Warriors,[3][4] Earth's Special Forces,[5][6] Golden Fighters,[citation needed] TEAM "Z"[7] or the GT Warriors (GT戦士 JīTī Senshi).[8]

During the Tournament of Power, Team Universe 7 was primarily made up of Z Fighters - with the exception of two members: Android 17 (who later became one) and Frieza.

Bulma and Goku team up to gather the Dragon Balls

The team un-officially formed when Goku agreed to go with Bulma on her quest to find the Dragon Balls. They traveled past Mount Paozu and into Skull Valley where they met Turtle. Goku and Bulma returned the turtle back to the ocean where his owner, Master Roshi, gave Bulma his Dragon Ball and Goku the Flying Nimbus as a reward. After Oolong joined Goku and Bulma they met the desert bandit and Bulma's eventual boyfriend Yamcha and Puar in Diablo Desert, who would later become additional members of the team. At Fire Mountain, they met the Ox-King and Chi-Chi, who would become Goku's wife several years later.

The team later encounters King Piccolo, who spawns many mutated "sons" that murder Krillin and other martial artists around the world. Master Roshi and Chiaotzu lose their lives as well to King Piccolo when they attempt to use the Dragon Balls to destroy him. Enraged, Goku seeks revenge and successfully kills King Piccolo.

Goku and Piccolo unlikely strong duo!

Piccolo and Goku form an alliance to battle Raditz

The first actual formation of the "Z Fighters" is out of necessity; brought on when Goku is faced with Raditz. After Raditz kidnaps Goku's young son, Gohan, Goku and Piccolo form a reluctant alliance in order to fight for a common cause, but Goku sacrifices himself to help Piccolo kill Raditz. This team-up is considered the true birth of the Z Fighters, with the addition of the fighters selected to train on The Lookout for the upcoming battle against Nappa and Vegeta. The first time the Z Fighters are referred to as an actual organization is when the two Saiyans arrive on Earth: while the six warriors Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Piccolo and Gohan are fighting against the Saiyans, Yajirobe falsely takes credit for organizing and leading the group in a shameless attempt to obtain undeserved news publicity and free food.

The Z Fighters consisting of Yamcha, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu prepare to battle the Saibamen

The Saiyan conflict is the first time Earth's Special Forces engaged enemies together. After Goku's death against Raditz, Piccolo trains Gohan to prepare for the arrival of the Saiyan warriors Vegeta and Nappa a year later, while Goku trains under King Kai in the Other World before being revived by the Dragon Balls. Though several of the members expressed distrust of their former enemy Piccolo, this first Z Fighter roster consisted of Goku, his inexperienced son Gohan, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Yamcha and Chiaotzu. Yajirobe, though choosing not to join the fight, ended up playing an important role in repelling Vegeta by slicing off the Saiyan's tail while he was a Great Ape, saving Goku's life. Unfortunately, several Z Fighters are killed in the battle against Nappa and his Saibamen, with only Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Yajirobe surviving. Also noted is this is the saga in which Piccolo demonstrates his first step in redemption by sacrificing his life to save Gohan. Vegeta barely escapes with his life and Gohan and Krillin decide to accompany Bulma to Namek to use their Dragon Balls to revive their fallen comrades.

Frieza Saga[]

The Z Fighters

The Z Fighters on Planet Namek

During the battle on Planet Namek, Earth's Special Forces would ally with the Namekian race against Frieza and his Frieza Force, this marked a turning point for the group, as Piccolo is fully reformed and Vegeta allies with the group, mainly out of necessity to take down Frieza and strongly hints his intentions to eliminate them once the battle is over. This is also the first time in the series in which a character actually refers to the group as the Z Fighters, when Gohan pleads with Chi-Chi to be allowed to go to Namek with Krillin and Bulma. He informs her that he too is a Z Fighter and must be there to protect his friends.

The team members of this conflict consisted of Goku, Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo (after being revived by the Dragon Balls). Although Vegeta aids them in battling Frieza, he had yet to become a member due to his reluctant allegiance with them. During the battle, Vegeta and Krillin are killed by Frieza, and this causes Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan for the first time. A desperate Frieza prepares to blow the planet up to kill Goku while everyone besides the former are transported to Earth, including a revived Vegeta. In the aftermath, it was assumed Goku and Frieza died in the explosion, but Goku actually managed to escape. The group uses the Dragon Balls to revive Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu and wait for Goku's return.

Cell Saga[]

Z Fighters

Z Fighters in the Androids Saga

Two years later, the group finds out Frieza is alive and heading for Earth with his father King Cold, prompting them to set out for battle. However, Future Trunks suddenly appears and effortlessly kills the two monsters about three hours before Goku returns from space. Future Trunks then tells Goku that he comes from the future to warn everyone about the Androids that have caused apocalyptic mayhem in his time and had killed all the Z Fighters.

Vegeta having initially decided to remain on Earth to fight Goku again, decides to stay and train for the upcoming conflict with the Androids, though like previously with Piccolo, most of the other Z Fighters do not fully trust him nor consider him a true ally. During this time, Vegeta becomes a Super Saiyan and forms a relationship with Bulma, resulting in the birth of their son Trunks. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu also begin training for the fight with the Androids. When the Androids do arrive, Future Trunks returns as well. Chiaotzu, however, does not participate in any battles during the Android conflict and his role within the group becomes more and more reduced as time goes on.

Although the sequence of events is altered due to Future Trunks' intervention, Goku is cured from his illness, and everyone avoids being killed by Androids 17 and 18. However, they instead face off against an unexpected enemy: Cell, who tries to absorb the Androids to achieve perfection. Cell holds a tournament called the Cell Games. Everyone trains relentlessly to prepare for the event and Gohan is able to transform into a Super Saiyan. During the battle, Goku decides he is unable to win and chooses Gohan to take the lead. After Cell uses his Cell Juniors to attack the Z Fighters and destroys Android 16, Gohan ascends to Super Saiyan 2 and is able to turn the battle into the Z Fighters' favor. However, Goku sacrifices himself to stop Cell, though Cell survives and kills Future Trunks, though is later killed by Gohan. Goku decides to remain dead because he believes his existence will draw in more enemies and pose a threat to Earth and leaves the role of Earth’s protector to Gohan. By end of the Cell Games, Future Trunks is revived and returns to his timeline more powerful than ever and proceeds to destroy the Androids 17 and 18 in his world, as well as his timeline's Cell a while later.

Meanwhile, Tien Shinhan bids farewell to the Z Fighters and plans to live in seclusion with Chiaotzu, realizing he can no longer compete with the powers of the Super Saiyans. Yamcha retires from fighting for the same reason. Krillin continues to live with Master Roshi, and after a few years, eventually reunites with and later marries Android 18. They soon have a daughter named Marron, and thus Krillin stops training as well. Piccolo decides to live with Dende and Mr. Popo on The Lookout, continuing to train and meditate there. Vegeta resolves to never fight again now that Goku is dead and marries Bulma as they continue raising their son Trunks together. Chi-Chi gives birth to their second son Goten. Finally, Gohan keeps his promise to his mother Chi-Chi and gives up fighting to study and become a scholar.

The Z Fighters as they appear in the Majin Buu Saga

By the beginning of the Majin Buu conflict seven years later, the Z Fighters consists of many "next-gen" type characters. Gohan is seventeen and is the primary hero of Earth, both as a Super Saiyan and his alter ego "Great Saiyaman". With the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku is granted 24 hours to visit with his family and friends and meets Goten for the first time. Upon being visited by Shin, the Universe 7 Supreme Kai, the Z Fighters learn about the forthcoming resurrection of Majin Buu, and they immediately head out to battle the monster. The Z Fighters consisting of Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, his son Trunks, and Goku's second son Goten are directly involved with the event. An additional member is Mr. Satan, who ends up serving as a positive influence on Majin Buu. Majin Buu wipes out almost the entire human population and defeats all the living warriors until it was just Piccolo, Trunks and Goten left. Gohan was thought to have been killed but was saved by Shin and Kibito and sent to their world for training. However, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo were ultimately all absorbed by Super Buu.

Goku is finally brought back to life after the Old Kai transferred his life force to him and performs the Fusion technique using the Potara with Vegeta to stop Buu (succeeding in freeing Gohan and the others in the process), but Buu succeeds in blowing up the Earth, killing everyone except Goku, Vegeta, Dende, and Mr. Satan. Goku and Vegeta have their final fight with Buu, using the Sacred World of the Kai as the battle ground. Eventually they were able to defeat Majin Buu for good with the aid of Mr. Satan and Good Buu. Also worth noting is that unlike the Android conflict, the Majin Buu Conflict is when Vegeta voluntarily became a hero (despite a brief betrayal when he allowed Babidi to take control of him in order to force Goku to fight him) confirming his redemption and ultimately leading him to reconcile with the rest of the team.

Two years later, the Z Fighters battle Abo and Kado, as well as their fusion Aka.[9]

The Z Fighters as seen in Battle of Gods

During Bulma's 45th birthday party, the God of Destruction Beerus and his attendant Whis unexpectedly show up looking for the Super Saiyan God. Beerus finds Goku first and has a sparring session at Goku's request, and easily beats him in two blows before heading to Earth. Remembering Beerus and knowing how dangerous he is, Vegeta makes sure nothing angers Beerus into blowing up the Earth. After Mr. Buu enrages Beerus and he decides to destroy the Earth, the various fighters make a futile effort to stop him. Although they fail, they do manage to stall him long enough for Goku to show up, who has the idea to ask Shenron about the Super Saiyan God. Confirming with Shenron that they need to pool the hearts of five righteous Saiyans into another, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, Vegeta and Videl (who is pregnant with her and Gohan's daughter Pan) do as instructed and transform Goku into a Super Saiyan God who fights Beerus. Although Goku fails to defeat the godly foe he does stall him long enough for his stamina to run out and fall asleep. Afterwards Whis takes Beerus back home.

Following Beerus's leave, Vegeta and later Goku convinces Whis to take them on as students who puts them through grueling intensive physical and Ki Control training with the goal of mastering their godly Ki. During this time, they both achieved the new Super Saiyan Blue transformation. Meanwhile, the remnants of the Galactic Frieza Army travel to Earth and secretly use the Dragon Balls to resurrect Frieza and similarly puts himself through grueling training for about four months to draw out his full potential. Frieza then sets out to Earth to kill Goku in revenge. The Z-Fighters are informed of what is happening and try to contact Goku and Vegeta to no avail. The Z-Fighters unite to fend off Frieza's forces and Goku and Vegeta finally arrive on Earth, with Beerus and Whis following them shortly after. After an intensive fight with Frieza, during which Goku endures his Golden Frieza form, Frieza's subordinate Sorbet fatally wounds Goku when he lets his guard down, prompting Vegeta to step in to finish off Frieza and almost succeeds. When Frieza realizes he is no match against Vegeta he destroys the Earth and all the Z-Fighters with the exception of those standing next to Whis at the time. Realizing Frieza may still be alive, Whis rewinds time for three minutes and Goku rushes in to kill Frieza seconds before he can destroy the planet.

While Goku and Vegeta are training on Beerus's home world one day, they receive an unexpected visit from Beerus's twin brother Champa who has come to boast of Universe 6's delicacies. Instead, he learns of Earth's vastly superior quality of food and after confirming that his Universe's Earth has been destroyed, he proposes a fighting tournament with Universe 7's Earth, in which the winning universe will keep the Earth. For the tournament, Goku and Vegeta recruit fellow Z-Fighters Majin Buu and Piccolo and Beerus recruits Monaka.

After Group's numbers are reduced to four following Buu's failing the written exam Goku is the first to fight and defeats Botamo before being defeated in turn by Frost. Although the ruling is later reversed following the revelation about Frost's use of an anesthetic needle. Piccolo is the second to fight and eventually resigns after Frost's cheating is exposed so that Vegeta could give him the beating that he deserves. Vegeta goes on to defeat Frost, Auta Magetta and Cabba before he is finally defeated by Hit using his Time-Skip power allowing Goku to fight once again. The fight against Goku forces Hit to improve upon his skills for the first time in his life and as a result of the all-out battle Hit and Goku, who recklessly uses the combination of Super Saiyan Blue and Kaio-Ken, ultimately withdraws when he realizes the technique has put too much strain on his body and he can't make the assassin fight all out. Unexpectedly however, Universe 7 still wins when Hit resigns the final match against Monaka, whom he realizes is actually a weakling.

Universe 7

The Z Fighters, Android 17, and Frieza making up Team Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power

After Goku persuades Zeno to hold a martial arts tournament including all of the 12 universes, the Omni-King decide to use this as a test to decide which low-level universes should remain, to which the losing universes will be erased along with its inhabitants and deities. The fighters selected for Universe 7 are: Majin Buu, Krillin, Android 18, Android 17, Vegeta, Roshi, Tien, Gohan and Piccolo. Based on his intelligence and combat strategies, Gohan was selected as the leader of Team Universe 7. A couple of hours before the tournament begins, Majin Buu falls asleep and so Goku decides to ask for Frieza to return from Hell and join the team as a replacement, much to everyone's shock.

When the tournament commences, Goku, Vegeta, 17, 18, and Frieza ignore the team's defense strategy and decide to fight solo. After Universe 7 defeats Universe 9 and the latter is erased, the team begins to fight in groups to take out their opponents more quickly. Krillin is the first member to be eliminated. Goku is more interested in fighting Top and Jiren from Universe 11. Tien and Master Roshi are eventually eliminated. Goku fights Jiren and achieves the Ultra Instinct Sign form but he is unable to defeat him. After the tournament's half-way phase, Piccolo and Android 18 are eventually eliminated. In the final phase, the only remaining universes are 7 and 11, with Gohan and Vegeta eliminated next. Ultimately, Goku and Frieza defeat Jiren together by causing a triple elimination ring-out. With Android 17 being the final combatant standing, Universe 7 is declared the winner. Android 17 uses his wish on the Super Dragon Balls to restore all the erased universes. After Frieza's life is completely restored by Whis as a gift for his assistance, the Z Fighters part ways with Frieza and return to Earth.

Sometime after the Tournament of Power, Frieza has reformed his galactic army and continues to conquer various planets. During this time, two members of the Frieza Force, Cheelai and Lemo, encounter two other Saiyans, Paragus and his son Broly, who had been stranded on the barren planetoid Vampa for several decades. Frieza then recruits Broly to defeat Goku and Vegeta for him on Earth, which leads to the battle between the three Saiyans on the Ice Continent. Vegeta is the first to fight Broly, in which he temporarily has an advantage over Broly during their fight, until Broly adapts to his power and overpowers Vegeta, causing Goku to step in to fight Broly. During his fight with Broly, Goku initially struggles against Broly but soon gains enough power to have the advantage over Broly, after he transforms into his Super Saiyan Blue form. When it seems that Broly is losing to Goku, Frieza kills Paragus to trick Broly into unleashing his rage and transform into a Super Saiyan for the first time, causing Vegeta to assist Goku. After Broly's new power proves to be too much for both Goku and Vegeta, they teleport to Piccolo's location. They perform the Fusion Dance for the first time, where they successfully fuse into Gogeta. Gogeta then teleports back to the battle site to confront Broly, where the fused warrior overpowers the foe. However, Cheelai and Lemo use the Dragon Balls to teleport Broly back to Vampa before he can be destroyed. Goku later teleports to Vampa as well to provide the trio of friends with Capsule supplies as an offer of friendship from himself. Goku also offers to train Broly to master his power as Goku would like to spar with Broly again.

In the computer game Dragon Ball Online, Goku left Earth for different reasons than in GT, and Majin Buu created the Majin race. Much of the final activity of the Z Fighters is fleshed out: Gohan wrote a book about ki manipulation titled "Groundbreaking Science", Krillin founded the New Turtle School, Tien Shinhan founded the New Crane School, and Trunks and Goten created the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School.

100 years after the Baby Saga, only Pan has survived. The other Z Fighters have died of natural causes, while two new warriors, Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. (the descendants of the original Z Fighters of the same names), now exist.

Alternate Timeline[]

Main article: The History of Trunks

DragonBallZSpecial23

Z Fighters in The History of Trunks

In Future Trunks' Alternate Timeline, Future Goku died of a deadly heart virus six months before the arrival of the androids. He could not be wished back, since the Dragon cannot revive anyone who died of natural causes, on top of which, he had already been wished back once. When the androids did arrive, they proceeded to slaughter Future Piccolo, Future Vegeta, Future Tien Shinhan, Future Yamcha, Future Krillin, and Future Chiaotzu in a horrible battle. Future Gohan somehow managed to survive, only to be killed thirteen years later. The only surviving fighter was Future Trunks, who traveled back in time in an attempt, not to change history (as the manipulation of the past would only cause that timeline to take a different path, creating an alternate, separate future), but to see if Goku could help him find a weakness in the Androids; that way, although he could do nothing for those already dead (with Piccolo gone, so were the Dragon Balls), he could still save those who were still alive. After the defeat of Cell, Future Trunks returned to his own time and was successful in killing both of the androids and Future Cell, thus finally ending the nightmare.

Unfortunately, Future Trunks’ timeline did not last long when an evil entity known as Goku Black (later revealed to be Zamasu of pre-rewind present timeline) and Future Zamasu massacres every mortal in the entire universe of the original alternate timeline, including Future Bulma and the other remaining alternate future gods for their own end, Project Zero Mortals, even though Future Trunks requires help from the Z warriors of the original present timeline. Without any options, Future Zeno erased the original alternate timeline and kills the merged Zamasu out of the existence, leaving Future Trunks as the only surviving Z Fighter member left to exist, along with Future Mai. To counteract Zamasu's evil plan from repeating itself in the past of the alternate timeline, Whis went to warn another alternate future version of himself and another Future Beerus, and thus a creating new alternate future timeline for Future Trunks and Future Mai to live without any hard feelings on meeting the other versions of themselves from that new timeline.

Team Members[]

Z Fighters[]

Character Description
Goku The main character who is a co-founder of the Z Team. One of the most powerful members of the team, he is often tasked with the role of team champion, dispatching the most powerful enemy after his allies have been defeated or incapacitated (this is often due, in part, to his late arrival on the battlefield for numerous reasons).
Master Roshi The turtle hermit, he was Goku's second official mentor (after Grandpa Gohan). Despite being physically one of the weaker members, Roshi is able to use his massive experience and skills at fighting opponents much stronger than himself. Following the fight with King Piccolo, Master Roshi retires to leave the fighting to the next generation of fighters. However, he returns as a fighter during Frieza's revenge.
Yamcha Once a fearsome desert bandit. Chronologically, he is Goku's first fighting ally. He retires following Cell's defeat, but in Dragon Ball Super he returns as a fighter during the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, where he assists his fellow Z-Fighters and Galactic Patrol in defending the Earth.
Krillin Goku's best friend and former schoolmate and rival. Krillin typically is depicted in a supportive or planning role, usually as part of a greater scheme or initiating a feint. He typically provides some comic relief for the team.
Tien Shinhan A former assassin and Goku's former rival. Tien remains a supportive character for much of his role in the series and often buys time for stronger fighters against powerful opponents. In Dragon Ball Super, Tien is once again an active member of the team.
Chiaotzu Tien's best friend and former schoolmate. He is often left out of important battles due to concern for his safety. Despite this, Chiaotzu remains diligent in his training and in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Chiaotzu returns as a fighter, assisting the Galactic Patrol against Moro's Galactic Brigade alongside Tien Shinhan.
Yajirobe He primarily helps by delivering Senzu Beans from Korin, as he dislikes combat. He also played a big part in defeating Vegeta by cutting off his tail during the Vegeta Saga.
Piccolo Once Goku's archrival, he becomes one of his greatest allies. As the two of them were the strongest fighters on Earth at the time, Piccolo co-founded the Z Fighters team with Goku. Piccolo considers strategy to be just as valuable as raw power, as he's been shown to outsmart opponents (as seen with his fights against Cell) and outfights stronger foes like Shisami and Frost.
Gohan The eldest son of Goku. Gohan remains in a supportive role for much of the series, and under the tutelage of other, more powerful fighters, but at the end of the Cell Games, he briefly takes on his father's mantle of team champion and thereafter occasionally steps into a mentor role himself.

Earth's Military Though the military is virtually unaware of the Dragon Team both groups share the same goal of protecting Earth and Goku was instrumental in putting an end to both the Red Ribbon Army and the Demon King Piccolo whom the military were ill equipped to deal with.

Additionally past acquaintances and of the Dragon Team such as Android 8, Suno, Launch, and Bora also appear.

Trivia[]

  • The team's name itself is very rarely used in the series by anyone other than the Narrator. It is used by Future Trunks when he explains to Goku that, in the future, "the Earth's Special Forces are gone." The second character to use the term is Gohan, when he is training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to defeat Cell: while sleeping, he has a dream in which his mother Chi-Chi says she does not want Gohan to be in Goku's little gang, and Gohan then responds that he is not in a little gang, he is a Z Fighter.
