The Masks (仮面) are objects created by the Dark Empire to power up and control their wearer.

Usage and Power[]

The Masks have primarily been given to Saiyans. Bardock and Xeno Bardock were the first to use the power of the Mask,[3] being known as the Masked Saiyan on the first occasion they used it. Xeno Vegeta would go on to be the next user as the Black-Masked Saiyan, followed by Xeno King Vegeta as the Dark-Masked King - using its power in conjunction with Mechikabura's magic power - and then Paragus and his son Broly - who utilized this power whilst merged with the Seven-Star Dark Dragon Ball, becoming Broly Dark. Super 17 was given a mask whilst part of the Universe Creation Planners, becoming the Masked Android, and an incarnation of Goku Black later chose to utilize one mask and become the Crimson-Masked Saiyan.

In Dragon Ball Online, Android Majins that achieve their Pure Majin form is equipped with harness-like Masks, which is presumably a precautionary measure to maintain control over them while transformed, similar to the Time Breaker gems used to control brainwashed Saiyans in their Great Ape form.

Controlling the power of the Mask, Xeno Bardock achieves Super Saiyan 3

In most cases, the power of the Mask will corrupt its user and leave them susceptible to the commands of the Time Breaker who equipped them with it; however, this can be overcome with enough willpower as first demonstrated by Xeno Bardock, allowing the user to control the power for themselves.

In the manga version of the Dark Empire Saga, Xeno King Vegeta was also able to accomplish this, retaining the power gained from the mask even after removing it.

The Crimson-Masked Saiyan was able to control the power of the Mask for himself from the get-go, as it had no visible influence over his mind.

Toki Toki City Hero's mask in Xenoverse 2

In Xenoverse 2 during the The Masked Saiyan Saga, after Bardock's mask is destroyed and he drags Mira through the Wormhole Towa created, she reveals that she had previously captured Future Trunks' old partner & the protagonist of Dragon Ball Xenoverse turning them into the Masked Hero. While the Masked Saiyan is a playable character in Xenoverse 2, the Masked Hero only appears as a story boss NPC. Additionally, in the Warrior from the Demon World Saga, the Toki Toki City Hero's confiscated Mask is secretly a conduit devised by Towa to bypass Chronoa and Elder Kai's barrier that prevents unauthorized access of the Time Nest, allowing Towa to enact her plans to use the scroll to prevent Dabura's death and steal Tokitoki's Egg.
