*The original version of the Oozaru looked nothing like version in the film. This version was even filmed and when fans found out about it, there was so much negative feedback that the studio added in the CG Oozaru. The first version though is in the toy line. If you buy all the Dragon Ball Evolution toys, you get all the pieces to make Oozaru. This toy however has even a completely different outfit. It appears to be wearing Saiyan armor. |

Revision as of 06:42, 31 October 2010
- This article is about the character portrayed in live-action by Justin Chatwin. For the original transformation, see Great Ape.
Oozaru (大猿, Ōzaru ; Literally meaning "Great Apes") is a character in the Dragon Ball franchise. He makes his debut in the 2009 film Dragonball: Evolution, the first of a purported three installments of 20th Century Fox's live-action film series. He is an adaptation of the Great Ape, a transformation assumed by members of the Saiyan race in Akira Toriyama's franchise, and is portrayed by Justin Chatwin. Unlike in Toriyama's original franchise, the transformation in Dragonball: Evolution is triggered by a solar eclipse rather than staring into a full moon, and its user does not require the tail of a Saiyan to transform.
Biography
Roshi describes Oozaru as one of two gods who, along with Piccolo, nearly destroyed the Earth two-thousand years prior. However, Piccolo and his disciple Oozaru's reign ended after seven mystics used the Mafūba to seal Piccolo inside of a container. While Oozaru's whereabouts after this are uncertain, a prophecy asserts that he will return during a solar eclipse, and as Piccolo reveals, during this eclipse Goku, who "traveled by meteor to hide among the vermin until [his] eighteenth birthday," will be reborn as Oozaru. When Piccolo's explanation becomes true, Goku, as Oozaru, attacks Bulma, Yamcha, and then Roshi before coming to his senses and regressing to normal. Goku accepts that Oozaru is inside him, and a battle between he and Piccolo ensues.
Other appearances
Oozaru makes his first playable appearance in a Dragon Ball video game spin-off in Dragonball the Movie. In the game, Oozaru fights against Roshi before fighting against Goku in a space-like environment in Goku's mind.[1]
