*The original version of the Oozaru looked nothing like the version in the film.

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 a [[Saiyan Armor]]. |

- This article is about the character portrayed in live-action by Justin Chatwin. For the original transformation, see Great Ape.
Oozaru (大猿, Ōzaru; lit. "Great Apes") is a character in the 2009 film Dragonball Evolution. He is an adaptation of the Great Ape, a transformation assumed by members of the Saiyan race in Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball franchise, and is portrayed by Justin Chatwin.
Overview
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. This transformation is also a lot smaller than the Great Ape form.
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.
