  • Piccolo Jr. Saga: Part Two Character Profiles

Character Profiles

Character profiles are included on both discs; presented exactly as they were written.

Taught martial arts by his adoptive grandfather Gohan, who raised him out in the wilderness, Goku is very strong, agile, and fearless. He'll take on any fight no matter what the odds are if he thinks that someone has been wronged.

Krillin is a young boy who comes into action when he arrives to study martial arts under Master Roshi. Driven to be the best martial arts fighter, Krillin will do whatever it takes to win, even cheat. Krillin tries to keep up with Goku as they become the best of friends and friendly rivals.

Yamcha is a powerful and feared warrior who can call upon the "Wolf-Fang Fist", a move he uses to vanquish his enemies. Initially, Yamcha seems more like a bully than a hero, but he comes around. Although he's incredibly cool, and under control, he is preposterously shy around women, especially Bulma.

The mysterious Korin is the lone resident of the tower that bears his name. Legend says that atop Korin's Tower rests the Sacred Water, a mystical substance that enhances the strength of anyone who drinks it. But Korin does not give up his prize easily. His mind games are enough to thwart the most fervent pursuers.

Mr. Popo is the right hand man of Kami, Guardian of Earth. God natured and fun loving, Popo's skill as a warrior is not to be underestimated. Mr. Popo tells Goku that he must prove his worth by derfeating him to earn the chance to see Kami face to face. THe young warrior soon learns that theree is more to Popo than meets the eye.

After watching King Piccolo's destruction, Tien turns his attention to the World Martial Arts Tournament with the hopes that he will once again face off with Goku. But Tien soon finds himself in a struggle for his very survival when a green faced villain arrives on the scene. Tien fears that Piccolo's plan for total domination might still come to pass!

Chiaotzu is the long time companion of Tien, his former bodyguard. His soft features and child-like exterior hide the awesome power buried beneath. He is capable of destroying much larger opponents with his psychic powers, powers he also uses to communicate telepathically with Tien.

Before Kami took his place as Guardian of Earth, the wise master had to look deep within himself to purge any evil that rested in his heart if he were to ever ascend to the prestigious position. But in ridding himself of his evil counterpart, Piccolo, Kami set into motion a chain of events that would forever change the course of history!

In the waning moments of the battle versus Goku, King Piccolo produced one final offspring and charged him with finishing Goku. The time has come for the son to continue the father's wicked work. With power surpassing that of King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr. is on a collision course with the one person he will do anything to defeat.

When Chi Chi and Goku approach Ox King with the biggest decision of their lives the benevolent ruler is overcome with joy. Only a tragedy would spoil his perfect day. Ox King soon finds himself trapped in his own castle as terrible fires threaten to burn it to the ground. Goku must hurry if he is to save Chi Chi's father and Chi Chi's wedding dress!

Goku always knew Chi Chi was a firecracker, but when he can't remember his old friend, he finds himself in a tough spot! Chi Chi enters the World Martial Arts Tournament with the hopes of collecting on an old promise made by Goku. The stakes are raised to an incredible level as the young lady faces off with her old friend!

Annin is the caretaker of the Magical Furnace, the origin of the fires threatening to destroy the Ox King's castle. In theory, if the magical fire were extinguished, the plains of existence on both sides of the world would be thrown into utter chaos, and Annin is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that doesn't happen.
