Expanded Lore
Beyond retelling major portions of the original storyline as serialized in the manga and showcased in the television series adaptation, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot incorporates expanded Dragon World lore previously revealed in guide books, video games, interviews, etc. Additionally, new information which appears for the first time is also included within the game's story modes and supplemental menus.
From Previous Sources
- Lapis and Lazuli
Towa and Mira
After the player defeats their first "Super Villainous" group, Towa appears, stating that her calculations were correct. She encourages the player to continue to fight to help revive Mira. Once the player clears all of the Super Villainous encounters across the Dragon World, Mira is reborn for one of the game's highest-level encounters. After defeating Mira, Towa suggests that they move to another timeline to collect more energy. Towa and Mira made their debut in Dragon Ball Online, and have appeared in other subsequent titles such as Dragon Ball Heroes, Dragon Ball Xenoverse, and Dragon Ball Fusions.
Namekian Lifespans
The in-game "Z Daizenshuu" entry for Namekian denotes that the species has a lifespan of approximately 200 years, but that those with special abilities (specifically Demon King Piccolo and The Eldest Namekian) may live well past 500. According to prior guidebook timelines, the natural disaster on Planet Namek during which the son of Katatz was sent to Earth occurred in Age 261,[3] making God at least 506 years of age by the time he reunites with Piccolo in Age 767.
Artificial Human No. 21
In preparation for the arrival of the Artificial Humans, Doctor Brief recruits a new researcher to help him upgrade Vegeta's training room. This researcher looks just like No. 21's human appearance from Dragon Ball FighterZ, though in this game she is only referred to as "Female Researcher." After her first appearance, she appears throughout the world as she gathers material for her research at Berl Village (tracking reports of a Great Ape sighting), the Karin Holy Land (seeking Karin himself), outside Doctor Gero's laboratory after its destruction, FIXME: LOCATIONS. Outside of allowing the player access to various training programs, she bears no impact on the main plot or any substories.
Dr. Gero's Son
The in-game "Z Daizenshuu" entry for Artificial Human No. 16 describes his design as taking after Dr. Gero's son, Gebo, an elite warrior within the Red Ribbon Army who held the codename "Gold". In a substory involving Artificial Human No. 8, Goku comes across some burnt files which mention No. 16's resemblance to Gebo. Toriyama first introduced this concept in a Q&A from Dragon Ball Full Color: Artificial Human & Cell Arc Volume 3,[4] though Gebo's name and military history are unique to Kakarot.

Bonyu
After resurrecting the Ginyu Special Force, Gurd mentions that there used to be a sixth member of the team, Bonyu, who was considered the brains of the force. Reacoom explains that she quit because they thought their special poses were lame, and Butta states that she had no sense of style.

Animaline
A man in a labcoat can be found on a rooftop just south of the Capsule Corp. building, and when approached he offers a medicine he developed. A dog standing next to the man will urge the player not to listen to him, or they will end up like him. The doctor tells him not to worry, states that he will be back to normal in three days, and gives the player a "Weird-Smelling Drink" FIXME: CHECK JAPANESE.
- Substory information
Planet Namek's Elders
The in-game "Z Daizenshuu" entry for The Eldest Namekian states that after he survived Planet Namek's cataclysmic weather event that wiped out most of his race, his first six children became the village leaders to whom he entrusts six of the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Bulma's Mother
The in-game "Z Daizenshuu" entry for Doctor Brief and his own dialogue during a substory refer to Bulma's mother as "Bikini". Previously, in the 2004 Dragon Ball Forever guide book, Toriyama notes that had he given a name to Bulma's mother, it probably would have been "Panchy".[5]
The Meshikiya Kingdom
In an early substory, Mai refers to Pilaf as the prince of the Meshikiya tribe, who once flourished in a small part of a certain region long ago. His "Z Daizenshuu" entry further explains that his father, the king, attacked a neighboring tribe in his quest for world domination, but was overwhelmingly defeated. Pilaf fled his father's kingdom with his father's treasure in tow, and sold it to finance his castle and various machinery. メシキヤ (meshikiya) is a rearrangement of 焼き飯 (yakimeshi), meaning “fried rice", which matches the pun scheme of Pilaf's crew.
Saiyan Tail Regrowth
In his quest to understand why his tail has not grown back after returning from Planet Namek, Son Gohan seeks out the wisdom of Vegeta regarding Saiyan physiology. After Vegeta shrugs him off and proclaims that he no long has any interest in becoming a Great Ape, and is solely focused on achieving the Super Saiyan transformation, Gohan comes to the conclusion that Saiyans no longer need tails once they become stronger than a Great Ape.
