Cargo is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. Cargo makes his debut in chapter 251, published in the 1989 #51 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Biography

Cargo lives in a village with several other Namekians, including Dende and Muri.[1] In Age 762,[2] Freeza and his men terrorize this village, seeking the wish-granting Dragon Balls. Elder Muri does not want to hand over his village's Dragon Ball to such evil people, so Freeza has his men kill as many Namekians as it takes for them to start cooperating. Muri finally gives up his Dragon Ball, but Freeza also wants information on where to find the remaining ones.[3] Muri refuses to betray his fellow Namekians and prepares to fight back, but before he can do anything, Cargo gets killed.[4][a]

Though Cargo is slain, Dende gets rescued by Son Gohan and Kuririn, Earthlings[4] who have come to Planet Namek in order to restore the Earth's set of Dragon Balls.[6] After a struggle against Freeza's men, they manage to get their wish,[7] and then the Earth's Dragon Balls are used to revive Freeza's victims, including Cargo.[8] Planet Namek is about to explode, though, so everyone gets evacuated to Earth.[9] Cargo and the other Namekians stay at Capsule Corporation for a while, until their Dragon Balls recharge and they are able to wish themselves to a new suitable planet.[10]

In Age 767,[11] Gohan's father Son Goku suddenly appears on New Planet Namek. Earth's former God is no longer around, so the Dragon Balls he created are no longer functioning. Goku hopes to recruit another Namekian to become Earth's new God, and Dende departs to take on this responsibility.[12]

Seven years later, a magical being called Majin Boo blows up the Earth, but Dende manages to survive. He comes to New Planet Namek in order to wish back the Earth[13] and its inhabitants.[14] The third wish helps defeat Boo, as it restores Goku's energy to the point that he is able to finish him off.[15]
