Bardock returns to Gine, the mother of his two sons, suspicious of Freeza's motivations for calling all Saiyans back to Planet Vegeta. Gine informs Bardock that Raditz is off on a faraway planet with the prince, [[Vegeta]], while Kakarrot has been in an incubator for three years. Bardock tells Gine he plans to steal a space pod at night so they can launch Kakarrot to a different planet. Gine angrily questions Bardock, saying that being an infiltration baby is dangerous, though seemingly relents when Bardock tells her of his suspicions. | Bardock returns to Gine, the mother of his two sons, suspicious of Freeza's motivations for calling all Saiyans back to Planet Vegeta.

Having become suspicious of Freeza's order for all Saiyans to reconvene, Bardock returns home to his wife Gine, hard at work in her butcher shop. Gine catches him up to speed: their son Raditz has become a full-fledged warrior and is off on a team with Prince Vegeta (a troublesome partner, in Bardock's opinion), while their younger son Kakarrot is still in his incubation capsule in the back room, though he is just about ready to come out.

Gine is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise. Initially only named and described by Akira Toriyama in an interview, Gine makes her formal debut in the "Dragon Ball Minus" bonus chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman as the mother of Son Goku (né "Kakarrot") and Raditz, the content of which was later adapted into the Dragon Ball Super: Broly theatrical film.
Biography
History
A long time ago, Gine fought on a four-person team together with Bardock. Gine was not cut out for being a warrior (being repeatedly saved from danger by Bardock), and transitions to working at a meat distribution center on Planet Vegeta. Though normally Saiyans do not have much of a notion for romance or marriage, a special bond forms between Gine and Bardock. The two produced two sons: Raditz and Kakarrot. Though they shared this special relationship, the family of Gine, Bardock, Raditz, and Kakarrot were never together.[1]
Dragon Ball Minus
(This summary describes Gine's appearance in the "Dragon Ball Minus" bonus chapter within the 2014 collected edition of the Jaco the Galactic Patrolman manga series.)
Bardock returns to Gine, the mother of his two sons, suspicious of Freeza's motivations for calling all Saiyans back to Planet Vegeta. Gine informs Bardock that Raditz is off on a faraway planet with the prince, Vegeta, while Kakarrot has been in an incubator for three years. Bardock tells Gine he plans to steal a space pod at night so they can launch Kakarrot to a different planet. Gine angrily questions Bardock, saying that being an infiltration baby is dangerous, though seemingly relents when Bardock tells her of his suspicions.
With Kakarrot and space pod in tow, Gine mentions to Bardock that it is unlike him to be worried about his child; Bardock responds that he must have gotten it from Gine, who he says is a softy. Bardock has programmed the pod to go to a distant planet named Earth. They will be unable to go with him, since the army's scouters would sense them. From outside the pod, Gine tells Kakarrot that, if Bardock is wrong, they will come get him as soon as they can. Additionally, he should not look up at the moon for too long, and to watch out for the Galactic Patrol.
Gine and Bardock embrace as Kakarrot flies off in the space pod.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly
(This summary describes Gine's appearance in the 2018 theatrical film Dragon Ball Super: Broly).
Having become suspicious of Freeza's order for all Saiyans to reconvene, Bardock returns home to his wife Gine, hard at work in her butcher shop. Gine catches him up to speed: their son Raditz has become a full-fledged warrior and is off on a team with Prince Vegeta (a troublesome partner, in Bardock's opinion), while their younger son Kakarrot is still in his incubation capsule in the back room, though he is just about ready to come out. They go see him; he is still small (a late bloomer, Gine says), but already looks just like his father, particularly his hair. Bardock suddenly announces that come nightfall they should steal a space pod and send Kakarrot off to some planet. With his low potential it is probably his eventual fate anyway, and Bardock thinks they should do it now while there is still time. Gine is reluctant at first but agrees once Bardock explains his fears about Freeza.
That night, Bardock and Gine put Kakarrot inside a space pod and take him out into the wastelands surrounding the town. Gine thinks all three of them should flee together, but Bardock says they would be tracked via scouter. Bardock has programmed Kakarrot's space pod for Earth, a distant world inhabited by a weak and primitive race which is unlikely to be targeted by Freeza's army anytime soon. Gine assures Kakarrot that they will come get him as soon as it turns out Bardock's fears are unfounded, while Bardock tells him to survive no matter what. With that, they launch the pod into space.
Later on, Gine watches as Freeza's blast engulfs Planet Vegeta.
Dragon Ball Fusions
(This summary describes Gine's appearance in the 2016 Nintendo 3DS video game Dragon Ball Fusions.)
In the fourth stage of Dragon Ball Fusions, searching a portal near the player's spaceship will bring Gine to the game's world. Pan notes Gine's tail, remarking that she has never seen another female Saiyan before. Gine recognizes the younger version of Son Goku as "Kakarrot", though this name means nothing to him. The woman does seem familiar to him, however. Gine begins to explain who she is, but stops short and departs. This meeting opens the game's sub-event "An Unlikely Pair".
The player later intervenes as Rubee, Yamma, and Fagotto, three aliens intent on crushing the Saiyans, attack Gine. The young version of Goku jumps in as well, with Gine quietly recognizing him as Kakarrot. After defeating the villains, Gine believes Goku has let his guard down, but Goku handily takes care of them on his own. Goku asks the lady if she is OK, though she responds by asking what he calls himself. Gine thanks "Goku" for his help, noting he has become very strong, just like another Saiyan man she knows that would have taken them out with a single punch. Goku thinks he must still have a way to go as Gine confirms his unfulfilled potential. She decides to stick around with Goku and his team, formally introducing herself as Gine.
In the game's "Saiyan Saga: Fantastic Fusions" sub-event, Towa asks to be introduced to a female Saiyan to test EX Fusion with (with Towa's ulterior motive being an opportunity to learn the true nature of Saiyan power). If the player character brings Gine back, she remarks that she is not that strong and will not bring much to the fusion; the player receives new clothing options as a reward, regardless. Gine and Towa are able to fuse into Towane (トワネ Towane).
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission
(This summary describes Gine's appearance in the 2019 Nintendo Switch and PC video game Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission.)
In the "Chamel's Adventure" side-mission in Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission, Chamel comes across three Saiyans (Gine, Nappa, and a child Vegeta) on the run from the Dark Empire. After a brief skirmish with the trio, Chamel explains that he is keeping tabs on said villainous group. The group are reluctant to believe Chamel, particularly when a group of Dark Empire minions (including Xeno versions of Paragus, Bardock, and King Vegeta as masked Saiyans) appear. Gine is impressed to see Chamel talk back to the villains, and the trio agree to trust him for now. As the group rushes in to battle, Gine thinks to herself that one of the masked Saiyans looks familiar. After taking out Paragus, Gine launches a sneak attack from the side, knocking part of the mask off of Bardock, confirming her suspicions. Gine's words get through to Bardock, who breaks free of both his mask and the mind control in full. When Bardock attacks King Vegeta, Salsa and Shroom arrive with Mechikaboola in tow. King Vegeta, himself now also unmasked but still under mind control, is sent in to fight alongside Shroom and Salsa. Despite having the upper hand in the ensuing battle, Mechikaboola decides to stop for now, knowing that if they wait, they could have the entire group of heroes gather to be slaughtered together. After Vegeta and Nappa leave, Bardock asks Chamel if Mechikaboola was referring to his group of friends, noting that they will have to give it all they have in the coming battles.
Name
Gine's name is likely an anagram of the Japanese word for a bulb-bearing green onion (ネギ, negi), similar to a "spring onion" or "Welsh onion".
Perhaps to aid in pronunciation, Viz adapts the spelling in English as a hyphenated "Gi-ne".
Production
Gine was initially revealed in the "Akira Toriyama-sensei Super Q&A!!" within the Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock "Super Kanzenban" (packaged with the March 2014 issue of Saikyō Jump), where Gine's history and relationship with Bardock are described by Akira Toriyama. The character formally debuted two months later in the "Dragon Ball Minus" bonus chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.

Special Moves
In her video game debut, Gine appears in the 2015 Nintendo 3DS video game Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden as one of dozens of "Z-Assist" characters (through paid downloadable content with the game's guidebook in Japan, and freely through a button-press combination internationally). When summoned, Gine presents meat that can recover the player's health.[2]
Gine later appears in the Dragon Ball Heroes series with card SH2-59 (first available in the second "Super Dragon Ball Heroes" update); through this card, Gine is able to boost attributes such as attack power and energy recovery.
In the 2016 Nintendo 3DS game Dragon Ball Fusions, Gine appears in an optional story quest and can be recruited to the player's team. Gine is able to learn the following moves in Dragon Ball Fusions:
