Captain Salza

Salza (Sauzer; ; ; ) is Cooler's top henchman and leader of the Cooler Armored Squadron. Salza is exceptionally handsome and is modeled somewhat similar to Zarbon. He has a special maneuver called the Salza Blade, which is an energy blade and a forcefield that resembles a lightsaber from the Star Wars franchise. He also has a technique where he fires a blast from each finger.

Overview

Salza1 — Salza Performing his Salza Blade Technique

Salza is from Planet Coola No.98. His home planet had a very high gravity, which is why he has a lean body, but also makes him very fast and agile on other planets.

He successfully takes down Gohan and Krillin but after his comrades Neiz and Doore are executed by Piccolo, he fights against the Namekian. After attacking Piccolo with his Salza Blade and failing to defeat him, he is slammed into the mountains nearby when Goku becomes enraged and prepares to battle Cooler. However, after Cooler is defeated, Salza emerges from the rubble, ready to exterminate what remained of the battle-weary Goku, Gohan, and Krillin. Unfortunately for him, Piccolo shoots a Special Beam Cannon clean through him, killing him.

His name is a pun on Thousand salad dressing. While in the FUNimation Dub, his name is a reference to the Spanish word for sauce, Salsa.

Other appearances

Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Salza makes a cameo appearance in the 1995 film Fusion Reborn when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth. He later returns briefly in Dragon Ball GT , only to be defeated once again.

Special abilities

Salza Blade — Salza holds out his hand and creates a purple beam of energy.
Super Energy Wave Volley — Salza launches a massive barrage of golden-yellow ki blasts, causing a massive accumulation of damage.
Flight — The ability to fly through the use of ki.
Energy Finger Beam — Yellow beams of ki shot from Salza's fingers.

Trivia

Salza's special maneuver, the Salza Blade, is similar to Vegito's energy blade, which appears later in the series. He also has a technique similar to Vegito's Banshee blast where he fires a blast from each finger.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, it is stated that Salza is of the same alien race as Jeice and has a rivalry with Captain Ginyu.
In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, his voice is slightly different than his movie appearance. In the movie, he was given a high-pitched french accent, whereas in Tenkaichi 2, he sounded slightly similar to Vegeta [albeit with an alien voice filter]
