[edit] TV Special #2 The Time Machine, Hope In the second DBZ TV special, taking place in the bleak future depicted by Trunks, Bulma realises that there is only one way to rid the Earth of the Androids (#17 and #18) before humanity is wiped out completely, since Super Saiyan Gohan has been killed in battle and Trunks is nowhere near powerful enough to defeat the merciless machines. In a desperate attempt to save the world, Bulma uses her technological genius and builds a Time Machine to send Trunks twenty years into the past and warn Goku of the heart disease that killed him in the bleak future. To match their goal, Bulma and Trunks name the Time Machine "Hope". However, Hope is not without it's drawbacks: the power fuel unit becomes drained with every trip into time and requires at least three years to return to full power again. This is why Trunks could not return to the past until three years after his battle with Freeza (possibly why he planned to go into the past 3 years before the Androids came). When Trunks travels to the past to give Goku the heart medication, he states that the time machine just enough energy for a round trip to the future. After Trunks is able to destroy the Androids and restore peace in his timeline however, only 8 months is needed to recharge Hope. Also with every trip to change history, a new, alternate timeline is created, making it impossible to save his future by simply altering the past. [edit] Cell Saga In the Imperfect Cell Saga, it is discovered that there are two Hope Time Machines in the present timeline in which Trunks is now. While a clean one is in Trunks' possession inside a capsule, the second is full-size, covered in dirt and its glass dome is broken. It is later revealed that in an accidentally created timeline, Trunks and Bulma used a remote control to shut the Androids down, and a bio-android named Cell killed the both of them, stole their Time Machine, and traveled into the past to absorb Androids 17 and 18 and complete his hideous evolution. At the end of the Cell Games Saga, Trunks uses his Hope Time Machine to return to his bleak future (he decided not to go to the new one he made) and destroy the Androids for good with his improved powers. [edit] Movie 13 While the Time Machine is built for Tapion to return home, it is not named "Hope", but just the same model as Hope.

She is a Human-Saiyan quarterbreed. [edit] Biography Pan is the daughter of Videl and Son Gohan, which also means that she is the granddaughter of both Son Goku and Mr. Satan. In her infancy she spent a lot of time with Goku, so she trained a lot. When she was 4 years old she was already regularly flying around the world, and attempting to beat her best times. Pan is also good friends with Vegeta and Bulma's daughter Bra. It is speculated that Pan, like her father, may have a lot of hidden potential. Young Pan eating an Ice Cream in Dragon Ball Z When Goku leaves at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series, to train Uub, he also leaves behind the very impressionable Pan who develops anger towards Goku for failing to keep his promise to visit his family and friends. From the closing scenes of Dragon Ball Z anime only, she is fighting Goten and appears to be victorious as Trunks holds her hand up in victory. (This also makes it clear that in the tournament Majin Buu never finished as the runner up since Goten was Buu's first opponent, in which case Goten wouldn't have been fighting Pan.) During Dragon Ball GT, Pan goes into outer space with Goku and Trunks in order to find the Black Star Dragonballs. This was not intentional, Goten was supposed to take her place, but she hit the launch button on the space ship before he had boarded. She develops quite an attitude, and gets into a lot of trouble on different planets. Giru, the helpful little robot who travels with them, tries to protect Pan, but usually ends up getting yelled at by Pan. However, deep down Pan really has feelings for the little bot. Pan 100 years after the end of DBGT The very last part of the series' timeline shows Pan as an old lady with a grandson called Goku Junior. It is unknown what happened to Goku Jr.'s parents. It should be noted that Pan's name comes from the Pan of Roman (as well as others) mythology. That means that, at first glance, she appears to have been named after her mother Videl rather than her father Gohan. However, closer inspection reveals a double-pun on behalf of author Akira Toriyama, in that Pan is also the Japanese word for bread,[1], continuing her father's food-based name as well as her mother's Devil-Greekgods-based name.

The first thing he did was eat the Dragon Radar, so the others are forced to take him along. He was originally working for Rilldo, and was supposed to be trying to lure the Saiyans to his planet so Doctor Myū could experiment on them. Giru, however, lost his memory before Goku and his friends found him, and although he recovered his memory later on, he realized how good the Saiyans were to him, especially Pan, and helped to rescue them from Rilldo. He accompanied them back to earth and then took the role of the Dragon Radar, albeit one that can talk. The name Giru is a pun on gear. Throughout the first part of the series, he is chased by Pan, exclaiming "Pan, Danger!", which is likely a parody on the Lost in Space catch phrase "Danger, Will Robinson". Android 17 @wiki::19/ 2007-02-24 2007-02-24T04:56:44Z Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!　　 Android 17 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Android #17 Japanese 人造人間17号 Romaji Jinzōningen Junanagō Anime Name Android #17 Manga Name Android #17 Alternate Name(s) Jinzōningen #17 #17 Cyborg #17 Artificial Human #17 First Appearance Issue 29 (DBZ Issue 13) Appears in Race Human / Android Family #18 (sister) Kuririn (brother in-law) Marron (niece) DB Character Listing - Category Android #17 (Also known as Jinzōningen #17, Cyborg #17, and Artificial Human #17) is a fictional character from the Japanese manga Dragon Ball and anime Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. He is a black-haired cyborg modified by Doctor Gero. He is referred to in the original Japanese as an artificial human (Jinzōningen), which is translated as 'cyborg'/'android'/'robot'; he is not a robot nor an android, and it is implied in the manga he and his sister were originally runaway humans that were kidnapped by Dr.Gero and heavily fitted with cybernetics. As such, he is, in English, correctly a cyborg. Future Trunks also confirms this by using the word cyborg in the original version of the anime when describing to Goku about what the pair are that will ruin the future. No. 17 is a notable character in the Dragon Ball series due to his very back-and-forth moral standing. He starts out appearing to be a powerful villain, but is revealed to be little else besides a rebel without a cause. When he is wished back to life, he lives a life of peace on his own. However, he is brought back in GT as a super villain when people in Hell take control of his mind, and is killed for his heinous crimes. Yet even when the villains take control of his mind, he still maintains some of the love in his heart, especially for his twin sister. This is in contrast to his alternate self from Trunks' future, where he is a sociopathic killer who cares for no one but himself and his sister. No. 17's strongest trait is most certainly his sense of self. He refuses to bow down to the will of his evil creator Dr. Gero (or later, Dr. Myū), and fights a futile battle with Cell to assert his identity and his pride. He has guns, but rarely uses them, due to the fact that firearms would be useless in combat against opponents such as saiyans or Cell. He is seen with a holstered gun in Dragon Ball Z: Budōkai 3. His seiyū is Shigeru Nakahara. In the FUNimation dub, he is voiced by Chuck Huber. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Contents [hide] 1 Dragon Ball Z 1.1 Androids Saga 1.2 Imperfect Cell Saga 1.3 Cell Games Saga 1.4 Future Timeline 1.5 Kid Buu Saga 2 Dragon Ball GT 3 Videogames 4 Trivia // [edit] Dragon Ball Z #17 at left with #16 and his twin sister #18. [edit] Androids Saga Android 17 and his twin sister Android 18 are awakened by their creator, Dr. Gero, when he is pressed into a corner by the Z Fighters, who he discovers to be much stronger than expected. It is revealed that this is not the first time Dr. Gero has attempted to utilize the twin cyborgs; his fear of them quickly becomes obvious and is fully realized when Android 17 impales then decapitates him. Abandoning Gero's plans for them, Android 17 and Android 18 awaken Android 16 and decide to find Son Goku and fight him just for fun. They are confronted by Vegeta, Future Trunks, Tenshinhan and Piccolo and defeat all four with extreme ease. However, the twins let them live, one of many examples that set them apart from their future timeline counterparts, especially since at the same time Future Trunks notes that they are much stronger than in his timeline. [edit] Imperfect Cell Saga Later, #17 fought Piccolo after he had fused with Kami, giving him extraordinary powers. They were roughly equal in power, except for the fact that #17 would never run out of energy and Piccolo could become drained of his. The match was interrupted by Cell, who was looking to absorb #17 and #18 to reach his perfect form. While Piccolo tried to aid in the battle against Cell, he was quickly tossed aside, and #17 struggled in vain to defend himself from being absorbed. All seemed lost until #16 stepped in to fight Cell. #16 was able to hold off Cell for a time, repeatedly surprising it with intensely powerful attacks such as the "Hell's Flash" beam cannons. However, this sudden turning of tables created an overconfidence in #17, who lingered at the battle site, where the wounded but still-living Cell surprised him and quickly absorbed him. [edit] Cell Games Saga No. 17 was killed along with Cell during either Cell's self-destruction or Cell's actual death at the hands of Gohan, but was revived after the Z Warriors used the Dragon Balls to bring back the people killed by Cell. He also had the self-destruct device in his body removed by Kuririn in another wish made true with the Dragon Balls. He never makes contact with the main cast again for the rest of Dragon Ball Z, content to live life on his own. It should be noted that though the group had initially given up on the idea that 17 could actually be alive when they failed to sense him or figure in any way that he was alive after making the wish that actually did bring him back, the most likely reason that nobody could detect him at all is the fact that an even semi-mechanical being (such as Gero's androids and cyborgs, including 17) has no actual (or at least traceable) ki signature and thus cannot be sensed by even the most highly trained organic being. [edit] Future Timeline In a dark future timeline of Dragon Ball Z, #17 and #18 have ravaged the planet Earth within an inch of its life, and much of human civilization is destroyed. Following their release, they killed Dr. Gero (as in the "fixed" timeline that Dragon Ball Z follows) and then proceeded to kill anything they encountered for "points", including all of the Z Fighters except Gohan. As the years pass, it becomes painfully obvious that Gohan and Trunks are the only martial artists left capable of fighting the twins. However, no concieveable advantage arises for them and Gohan is eventually killed. In one timeline, Trunks shuts them down with a remote control, and is killed by Cell, who travels to a similar past timeline to seek out the twins; and in another, he destroys them through pure power, then destroys Cell as well. [edit] Kid Buu Saga Android 17's reappearance in the Buu Saga. No. 17 is later seen in the manga and the Dragon Ball Z episode where Goku gathers energy to defeat Kid Buu. He raises his rifle to trick two hunters passing by into raising their hands into the air (they think that he's trying to rob them) and giving energy to Goku's Genki Dama. He then smiles and says, "You beat me to it," raising his hands up with them to give energy to Goku. In the original manga however, he merely raises his hands and his hands alone. Considering the fact that he is alive at this time serves as a testament to his good soul: the wish that revived him was one that Vegeta had the Kaioshins and Namekians make asking for the good people on Earth to be revived when it was restored (Kid Buu had previously obliterated the planet with his massive ki ball, the Chikyuu Hokai no Ichigeki). [edit] Dragon Ball GT In Dragon Ball GT, he is telepathically brainwashed by and eventually merges with a machine mutant version of himself, created by Doctor Gero and Dr. Myū in Hell. Before he merges, he decides to ask #18 to join him, but the incident only leads to the death of Kuririn when he momentarily contradicts the machine mutant 17's voice getting in his head. #18 is horrified and attempts to fight #17, but he incapacitates her. He then finds his artificial self to become Super 17. The super android then battles most of the Z Fighters, but defeats them all, including Uub and Vegeta, with relative ease, killing Dr. Gero once again in the process as Dr. Myu reveals he reprogrammed him to so that he could have full control. Before any good guys can be killed, Super #17 ends up fighting Son Goku, who would later be helped by #18. Her appearance helps the situation lead to the deaths of both Dr. Myu (who 18 turned 17 against by reminding him of his true nature) and Super #17 himself. As is revealed after the end of the fight, the real #17 had given them the chance they needed to finish him and his evil copy off by taking control of the Super 17 body from the machine mutant and trying to power up as 18 was shooting energy waves at him instead of sticking with the absorption technique. This revealed to Goku that Super 17 could not move if he were to absorb energy, thus leaving him vulnerable to physical attacks. From there, Goku was able to go right through the chest of Super 17 with the Super Dragon Fist, rendering him unable to absorb the ensuing onslaught of Kamehamehas, finally killing him. It is widely believed that the wish that Goku gave himself for at the end of GT, which had brought back to life all the good people that died in the battles from the Super #17 saga on through to the Evil Dragon Saga (FUNimation's dub: Shadow Dragon Saga) did revive #17, despite his fusion with the artificial version to become Super 17. Though we did not see any proof either way, evidence of his previous revivals points to him having a good soul. [edit] Videogames His list of appearances as a playable character includes: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 Dragon Ball Z: Indainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors Super Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 He also appears (though only as an enemy) in the games Dragon Ball Z: Sagas and Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku 2. [edit] Trivia If the fan conception is true and he was brought back to life at the end of Dragon Ball GT, then this would mean 17 was brought back to life three times, twice by Shenron, which would indeed break the rule established in DBZ continuity that Shenron lacks the power to bring anyone back to life more than once. (The same goes for Kuririn, who was actually seen alive right before the 100-year fast forward scene that ended GT, only making the belief about #17 stronger.) But since Goku gave his life for the final wish, who was indeed a powerful person, that wish would use an amount of energy equal in representing Goku's to keep the exchange fair, which would explain the "bending" of said rules. The three times are as follows: At the end of the Cell saga when every victim of Cell was wished back. The wish was made to Shenron. When Vegeta had the Nameks wish to Porunga that all the good people of Earth be brought back to life after the planet was restored. The wish was made to Porunga, the Namekian Dragon. The wish at the end of GT to bring every good person back to life that died since the start of the Super 17 saga. This was the final wish ever made to Shenron. Versions of the outfit 17 wears when brainwashed by Hell Fighter #17 are used as his alternate costume in the original DBZ Budokai series of videogames (the first Budokai, Budokai 2, and Budokai 3). #17 is also a good car driver, as hinted near the end of the Android Saga and the Imperfect Cell Saga. He drove a pink van that says "Lucky Foods" that he stole from the two owners of the van who were drinking hot coffee. Android 17 was twice the strongest fighter in the Dragon Ball series. The first was in the Android Saga before Piccolo had fused with Kami and Cell had absorbed a certain amount of bioextract from countless humans (though #16 is later revealed to be stronger than all of them when he steps in against Cell). The second was in Dragon Ball GT as Super 17. He could only be defeated with the help of #18, who distracted him long enough for Goku to realize and take advantage of his defense holes and pierce him with the Ryu-Ken.

Privacy policy About Wikipedia Disclaimers // Marron @wiki::18/ 2007-02-23 2007-02-23T04:32:34Z Marron MarronMarron is the daughter of Kuririn and Android 18. She was born three years before the Majin Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z. As a baby and little girl, she resembles her father. She has his eyes and nose, or rather lack of nose. However, she does indeed have a nose, though small, and as she grows older, Marron begins to look more like her mother. Unlike the rest of the other Z Warriors' children, Marron is the only one who was never trained by her mother or father which means that she has never shown any special abilities or martial arts skills of her own, which makes her another background character. Bulla @wiki::17/ 2007-02-23 2007-02-23T04:30:57Z Bra (FUNimation's dub: Bulla) Bra as she appears in Dragon Ball GTBra is the second child (after Trunks) of Bulma and Vegeta. Unlike Pan who acts tomboyish, Bra acts feminine and sticks around her mom. Like Bulma, Bra has blue hair in the anime and purple hair in the manga. Bra is usually cheerful, eager to please, and very fond of her father. In fact, Bra may be the only person in the universe that Vegeta will answer to, often bending to her wishes, such as insisting Vegeta shave off his mustache or alas, go shopping together. Her father doesn't appear to make a point of encouraging her to train (like he does to her brother Trunks), but the two are quite close, as it becomes apparent in DBGT, where Vegeta proves to be very protective of his daughter on subsequent occasions. During the Baby Saga, Bra (along with the rest of the world) is possessed by Baby. She is one of the four characters who help Baby become stronger; after this, however, her role is greatly reduced. Later, she, along with Videl, Bulma, and Chi-Chi want to fight along in the Super #17 Saga, however, Goku and #18 have done the job already. She is last seen at the end of the Super #17 Saga, standing with the others at the Capsule Corp., when Evil Shenlong appears, but for some reason she is not seen in the next episode with them, and is not seen for the rest of the series. Although she has never been seen in combat, except when bebi or Baby had her under his control, she does have the ability to fly through use of her ki.

Android-18 is a cybernetic human, modified by the scientist named Dr. Gero. She is often referred to in the original Japanese as a jinzō-ningen, which literally translates as "artificial human" (jinzō-ningen), thus "android, robot". However, she is not entirely an android because, in a conversation with Android-16, she refers to both herself and her "twin brother" Android-17 as having been "constructed from a human base". It is implied in the manga that they were originally runaways heavily fitted with cybernetics. Whether or not this "fitting" was consensual is unknown, but it is implied that it wasn't considering that they both show a disdainful disrespect toward Gero. (In fact, both of their Dragon Library pages in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 says for a fact Gero took them against their will.) In the anime it's mildly implied that they may actually be Gero's children when, at the 25th Tenka-ichi Budōkai, she was asked about her name (given as "Jūhachi-gō", "Number-18") she says "[her] father was pretty dull," although this is likely metaphorical. However, she is able to biologically function as a human does, given the fact that she produces a child right before the Buu Saga. Android 18's original human name is never revealed. Even her husband, Kuririn, doesn't refer to her with her original name, so it's likely it was completely lost in the process of making her an android. It is never explained why Androids 17 and 18 were created, but it has been suggested that they were tools to be used by Gero's ultimate creation, Cell. Cell was supposed to absorb them into his fully biological body and become the "perfect" warrior. He achieved this, absorbing 18 shortly after doing the same to 17. 17 and 18 were actually just made to kill Son Gokū and the Z-warriors; if they failed, Cell was to absorb them and finish the job. [edit] Beauty and the Monk When Kuririn first meets Android-18 he is very attracted to her, even though at the time he believes that she is heartless and wants to kill the Z-warriors. 18 is too artificial to age, so she looks the same at the end of Dragon Ball Z as she did during her first appearance (although she has cut her hair). On the highway, after she and her brother nearly kill the Z-warriors, she kisses the terrified Kuririn on the cheek after he tries to persuade them not to go after Gokū. This is when Kuririn starts to fall in love with her. After Cell arrives, Kuririn refuses to use a back up destruction remote on her, which would have destroyed her, cutting short Cell's relentless quest for ultimate power. Because of this, Cell eventually absorbs her and reaches his ultimate power, but Cell becomes overpowered by Son Gohan, and regurgitates 18. When Cell is defeated, Kuririn uses the Dragon Balls to wish for 17 and 18 to be turned into full humans. Shenlong is unable to do this because of the unfathomable differences in power between him and the duo, so he wishes instead for their self destruct devices to be removed. Kuririn pursues 18 and they eventually have a child together, a daughter named Marron. To clear up the heavily espoused misconception that Android-18 is a pure android and therefore could not have a child, Kuririn went on to explain to Gokū (and, in essence, to all confused fans) during the Tenka-ichi Budōkai in the Buu Saga that she was originally human but that Gero just "remodeled her a little bit." 18's destructive personality fades quite a bit after the Cell Saga and is accepted as a member of the core group of characters -- particularly after she and Kuririn marry and have a daughter. But even though, by observing her, you can tell that she is a loving mother and wife, she sometimes displays that frightening unpredictable nature towards others, particularly towards Muten-rōshi. #18 with her twin brother #17 and #16 to her left. [edit] Alternate Timeline Androids 17 and 18's counterparts in Future Trunks' alternate timeline are murderous sociopaths who are responsible for the deaths of billions of innocents. Trunks destroys them with his new power when he returns home, after years of their devastating the planet. Even when the main-timeline versions of 17 and 18 were first introduced as antagonists, they were never as malicious as their alternate reality selves. For unknown reasons, the main versions are also stronger than the ones Future Trunks knows. However, Piccolo suggests that it is because Trunks has changed the present by traveling back in time and that this has caused many things to change. [edit] Android-18 in the Buu Saga Later in the series, Android-18 is paired with Mr. Satan in the Tenka-ichi Budōkai. She does not want the fame and attention of winning, so allows Mr. Satan to beat her and retain his somewhat misappropriated title of a great fighter, provided he pays her double the prize money. The same day however, 18 gets killed, along with her family, by Majin Buu, who turns her into chocolate and eats her (this is the second time that she has been ingested by one of the DBZ villains). She is brought back to life with the Dragon Balls, and gives energy to Son Gokū to fuel his Genki Dama to defeat Buu. Though peace has returned, 18 still maintains a cool and distant attitude toward Gokū, as she was originally created to kill him, but she still can't resist smiling when Gokū returns and has a tearful reunion with his family, showing a softer side to her personality. [edit] Dragon Ball GT #18 in Dragon Ball GTAndroid-18 gets possessed by Bebi, but she doesn't play an important role as any type of servant, so life simply carries on. She is cured with the Sacred Water, and later on she and Goku teamed up to defeat Super Hell Fighter #17, because Android-17 killed Kuririn, someone who both Gokū and 18 loved and cared for. [edit] Dragon Ball Movies (#18 appears in the following Dragon Ball Movies and TV Specials:) TV Special 2: Resistance to Despair!! The Remaining Super-Warriors, Gohan and Trunks (FUNimation's dub: The History of Trunks) Movie 11: Super-Warrior Defeat!! I'm the One who'll Win (FUNimation's dub: Bio-Broly) [edit] Power As a cyborg, Android-18 is extremely powerful, she is able to easily overpower a basic Super-Saiyan. This is first demonstrated to when she fights Super-Saiyan Vegeta, she is able to severely injure him (going as far as to break his arm with one kick) and walk away almost completely unscathed save her clothes, burned off by one of Vegeta's ki attacks. She finds replacements soon afterward, resulting in her donning different clothing than her future counterpart does. She was also able hold her own when Son Goten and Trunks fought her, both as Super-Saiyans. 18 is fitted with a device that gives her a continuous and virtually infinite energy supply. This prevents her from becoming exhausted while fighting, and augments her power enough to make her a formidable opponent even for any of the surviving Saiyans, strong enough to more than match up to a normal Super-Saiyan, since -- as was proven by the two aforementioned examples, moreso the former than the latter -- the initial Super-Saiyan state is imperfect and drains energy quickly, making it only a matter of time before the even match becomes a no-chance affair. However, it is noted that she is slightly weaker than Cell in his first form upon his absorption of countless humans and as a result she deeply fears Semi-Perfect Cell, who gets trounced by Super (Ascended SSJ) Vegeta, while Full-Power Super-Saiyan Gokū can go toe-to-toe and match up with Perfect Cell (who was, at the beginning of the Cell Games, not at full power). So in reality she can easily match up to an opponent with the power and control of a base level Super Saiyan (especially recent, such as Vegeta and the boys when she fought them), but that's about as far as it goes. [edit] Techniques and special abilities Hikou: This is the ability to fly in the case of the androids, without ki. As the androids have no ki of their own, they are unable to use bukūjutsu. Kienzan: The kienzan (a.k.a. the Destructo-Disc) is a razor sharp disk of energy that can slice through nearly any opponent. This is her husband's (Kuririn's) signature technique. (in the Budōkai games) Power Blitz: An energy blast fired from the palm of the hand. This is her and 17's signature Death-Move in those games. Energy Field: Energy is thrust out from the body in the form of a barriar with great force. A toned-down version is introduced as the Android Barrier in the Budōkai Tenka-ichi series.

Mr. Satan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Mr. Satan Japanese ミスター・サタン Romaji Misutā Satan Anime Name Mr. Satan (Uncut U.S. version) Hercule (Edited U.S./Canadian versions) Manga Name Hercule Alternate Name(s) Hercule Satan Mr. Savage Master Pogi Master Handsome First Appearance Chapter #393 (DBZ Chapter #199) Appears in Race Human Family Videl (daughter) Pan (granddaughter) Son Goku Jr. (great-great grandson) DB Character Listing - Category Mr. Satan is a fictional character in the manga and anime of Dragon Ball Z and appears frequently in Dragon Ball GT. In the original Japanese media his name is Mr. Satan, however he is referred to as Hercule in FUNimation's English dub (though he retains his original name in uncensored releases) as well as Viz's own English versions of the manga. This is attributed to the typical process in Dragon Ball (and shōnen in general) of stripping Judeo-Christian references for the sensitivities of Western audiences. "Hercule" originates from Hercules, in Greek mythology. In the U.S. edition of Shonen Jump, it is explained that Hercule is the real name of the character while Mr. Satan was his stage name, though no such explanation was present in the original. He is voiced by Chris Rager in the English FUNimation dub, Don Brown in the English dub from the UK and Canada, and by Daisuke Gouri in the original Japanese. It should be noted that, because he so frequently goes up against the Z-Warriors and their adversaries, Mr. Satan usually comes off looking completely helpless. However, he is actually a genuinely skilled martial-artist when compared to the average human; it is only against the Z-Warriors and those at that level that he finds himself completely out of his league.

During the Dragon Ball Z time period, Mr. Satan is the reigning Tenka'ichi Budôkai Champion, a title won fairly by beating other normal humans in a time when Son Goku and other powerful fighters were not competing. During this time, Mr. Satan became rich and famous, but also egomaniacal. He boasted endlessly on television about his strength, and that he was the "best fighter in the world." Most fighters who he claims to be his disciples were actually the Z warriors. In spite of being a dishonest, greedy, conniving, coward, Mr. Satan is still a fundamentally good and kind-hearted person. He genuinely cares about protecting the innocent and fighting for justice to the best of his (hopelessly limited) abilities, and is prone to violent and righteous anger when faced with the abuse of helpless innocents by villains and wrongdoers. Recognising that Fat Buu was used in his innocence by Babidi, he tearfully begged Vegeta to spare his life, as he laid helpless after being beaten by Kid Buu, even willing to risk death to protect the monster. Mr. Satan's love for his friend moved Goku enough to join in his defence, allowing the formerly evil genie to start a new life as a hero and benefactor to society. Mr. Satan is one of the few characters to have never died (alongside Pan, Bra, East Kaioshin and Fat Buu.) [edit] Cell Saga Mr. Satan tries to battle CellAfter hearing Cell's announcement of the Cell Games, Mr. Satan, brave and foolish at the same time (mostly the latter), decides to enter the tournament and face Cell head on, despite Goku's warnings not to do so. While Mr. Satan and his top students face Cell and lose pathetically, Mr. Satan's personal news reporter ridicules Goku on the television until he finally shuts up after seeing Satan get smacked out of the Cell Ring by one slap ("tip" would be more like it) from Cell's finger. Claiming it was a trick, Satan and his pupils sit the rest of the Cell Games out of the ring, watching Goku fight Cell. But Satan manages to keep his fame and pride by telling his friends and family, who were easily tricked, that he has a stomach ache and cannot fight. But a bit of foreshadowing of Satan's future is shown here: when the severed head of Android 16 asks Hercule to throw him near Gohan to consult him, Satan does so, and Cell's reaction to 16's advice pushes Gohan off the edge and he transcends to Super Saiyan 2, ultimately destroying Cell in a massive Kamehameha duel. However, after the Z Warriors fly off, Mr. Satan convinces his friends that Gohan was beaten and that he defeated Cell single-handedly with his chopper-move. Despite the impossibilities of Mr. Satan's honesty, he is easily believed, and he becomes the world's new hero and hottest celebrity, with the trust of mankind placed in his hands. Even so, when Cell's victims seem to be waking up, the Earthlings immediately suppose that Satan's defeat of Cell has revived the fallen, and Mr. Satan becomes even more famous before he can claim it himself. Later on in the anime only, while Mr. Satan is at a strength show, he thinks of the human race as a "bunch of lost sheep who need a Hero," and obviously, of himself, as the hero. [edit] World Tournament/Babidi Sagas 18 offers Satan a secure yet pricey victorySeven years after Cell's defeat, Mr. Satan has become rich and famous, but has also became a joke amongst those who knew the truth of Cell's defeat, namely the Z-Warriors. Mr. Satan is seen in several moments, including for a few seconds training his pupils, and cowering away in his home to avoid a gang of thugs, even as they take advantage in a fight against Videl. He is also briefly mentioned during a conversation between Gohan and Videl, his daughter, as they both secretly hoped for Gohan to beat Mr. Satan at the next Tenkaichi Budokai so that Satan could be taught a lesson in humility and respect. Mr. Satan is seen once again at the Tenkaichi Budokai, eyeing the Super Saiyans (The "Golden Fighters") with utter fright, having remembered them from the Cell Games. Satan is also seen talking to himself about the "guys who beat Cell" because he knew that they would easily beat him if they showed up. After the Goten-Trunks Junior Final, Hercule was set to fight an exhibition match with Trunks. Trunks knocks him out of the ring with one hit, but the audience just believe Mr. Satan let him win, though he was knocked against a wall and brutally injured his nose, and is seen grieving over the pain in private shortly afterward. At the Tenkaichi Budokai, after it is interrupted by the ruthless Babidi, Satan is set to fight against Android 18, who does not want the fame of winning and agrees to throw the final if Satan pays her 20,000,000 Zeni (double the prize money). At one point in an anime-exclusive filler, he foolishly tries to fly, only to land on and hurt his weak point: his nose. [edit] Buu Saga Mr. Satan is sent to "assassinate" Majin BuuAfter Majin Buu (Fat, but still evil) kills Babidi and starts terrorizing the Earth, Mr. Satan is sent to kill Buu by giving him deadly presents such as cyanide-filled chocolates and an explosive video game. But Buu likes them, and makes Satan his playfriend. The cunning Satan then tricks Buu into posing for a photo, having him lie on his belly while Satan strikes a pose, and then becomes Buu's servant. But while Satan plans to use a super-explosive to try and kill Buu, Buu returns early from a killing spree with a hurt puppy, showing signs of good in him. Satan brings this good to the surface by helping Buu heal the puppy and convincing him kindly that killing is wrong. Mr. Satan and Buu then form a true friendship, and name the puppy Bee. After Mr. Satan and Bee are shot by an evil thug named Van Zant (who is unnamed in the original Japanese, referred to by his servant as "Young Master"), Buu is torn between the promise he made and the anger he holds. He manages to heal Mr. Satan and the dog, but loses control and tells Satan to flee before it is too late. He then involuntarily spits out the bulk of his power in the form of an evil, sickly Buu: Majin Buu (Pure Evil), or Evil Buu, which kills Van Zant mercilessly by blasting him, along with a cluster of mountains. After being pummeled badly by the evil Buu, the good but weaker form, in an act of desperation, attempts to turn the evil Buu into an edible form using his Henka Beam. However, this attack is reversed and the evil Buu emerges as the victor before devouring the good Buu and transforming into Super Buu. Super Buu is pure evil, but he still refuses to harm Satan, since he possesses the memories of Fat Buu. Obvious examples are as follows: When Super Buu looks down at Mr. Satan, he could have easily killed him, but instead, he merely spoke his name and left to go up to the Guardian's lookout. When the new Super Buu pulls off his human extinction attack, Satan is one of the three humans present on the ground to survive (the others being Tenshinhan and Chaozu), not because he is skilled enough to avoid it, but because Buu simply does not target him. Satan's daughter, Videl, also causes Buu to make an agreement allowing Gotenks an hour to prepare for fighting, as Piccolo tells Super Buu that Videl is Mr. Satan's daughter. Super Buu nearly weeps after hearing this, as he had been about to kill Videl at the time. During the battle against Super Buu, Mr. Satan is angered to the point that he screams "I hereby terminate our friendship, Majin Buu!" and gets out a gun. In one hilarious moment, when Super Buu fires an energy ball to destroy the Earth, Mr. Satan shoots at it and it explodes, when in reality Tenshinhan intervened and countered it. When Super Buu prepares another one (and a much more powerful one, one which Tenshinhan had no method of nullifying), Satan once again starts shooting at Super Buu, and Super Buu is sliced in half, when in reality Goku returned and fired a Kienzan at him. Mr. Satan, along with Dende and Bee, then sits out the rest of the battle and sees Vegetto pound Super Buu around. When Super Buu absorbs Vegetto, Mr. Satan and Dende tail him around the city as he eats countless cakes and sweets. Ultimately, when Super Buu reverts back to Kid Buu, Satan decides to attempt to fight him, but Dende advises him otherwise. Ultimately, when Kid Buu finally succeeds in destroying the Earth, Satan, Dende and Bee are rescued by Goku, Vegeta and Kibitoshin at the last minute via Kibitoshin's Kai Kai to Planet Kaioshin. At first, Satan believes it all to be a dream, but changes his mind when he is unable to fly, and also when Kid Buu shows up and resumes the battle against Goku and Vegeta. During the battle, Mr. Satan becomes angered to the point that he challenges Kid Buu to a futile duel. Satan punches and kicks Buu, but it doesn't even faze him. Just when Kid Buu is about to kill Satan, he hesitates and spits out a blue stone that explodes into an unconscious Fat Buu, who turned out to be the bug stopping Kid Buu from harming Mr. Satan. Believing Fat Buu to have sacrificed himself to save him one last time, Mr. Satan, tears dripping from his eyes, challenges Kid Buu with all his might. Just as Kid Buu is about to finish him, Fat Buu intervenes and fights Kid Buu alone while Mr. Satan cheers him on. Mr. Satan also participates in convincing the people of the newly-restored Earth to give their energy to Goku's Genki Dama, since they refuse to listen to Vegeta and Goku (except for Goku and Vegeta's friends and family, of course). The people end up believing they were giving their energies to him when instead, it supplies to the Genki Dama making it a lot bigger than before. When Goku prepares to throw it at Kid Buu, Fat Buu holds Kid Buu down while Satan carries Vegeta's limp body aside. The Genki Dama destroys Kid Buu after Goku goes Super Saiyan, and Fat Buu and Mr. Satan make it back to Earth with Goku, Vegeta, Dende and the Kaioshins, now accepted as two new Z Warriors. [edit] Post-Kid Buu Saga Mr. Satan is seen once again after a few days, having been invited to a great party at Capsule Corp., where he drinks and plays cards with Yamcha and Muten-Roshi. After spending time on the sidelines watching with Dende, he also seems to have formed a friendship with him, asking about Dende's "job" as god of Earth. Despite his earlier ambitions and attempts to learn how to fly, he never masters it. Ten years later, Mr. Satan is still the World Martial Arts Champion, due to his and Fat Buu's (now Mr. Buu) cheating the public by having Buu defeat the participants and then lose to Satan in the finals. At the start of the next one, Mr. Satan is greeted by Goku, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, and Pan (Gohan and Videl's daughter). Satan is only seen hugging his granddaughter, wanting to spoil her sick, and worrying himself sick when he sees Pan go up against a hulking fighter called The Wild Tiger. When Goku departs with a boy named Uub, Mr. Satan and Mr. Buu watch their friend leave. [edit] Mr. Satan's Family Tree Ox King Grandpa Son Gohan Burdock adoptive grandfather -> Chi-Chi Son Goku Raditz Mr. Satan Son Goten Son Gohan Videl Pan Son Goku Jr. [edit] Dragon Ball Movies Mr. Satan appears in the following Dragon Ball Movies and Specials: Bojack Unbound: Taking place after the Cell Games, Mr. Satan's friend organizes a Tenkaichi Budokai (that they call the Tenkaichi Dai Budokai), but Satan chickens out when he sees Gohan and Trunks (The Golden Fighters) participating. By sitting on the toilet with a fake stomach ache, Mr. Satan steals Gohan's credit for defeating the evil Bojack. The world believes Mr. Satan defeated Bojack with his psychic powers. Bio-Broly: Taking place after the Babidi Saga, Mr. Satan, while being attacked by Android 18 (he hadn't paid her the 20,000,000 Zeni he promised her) is invited by his old rival Jaguar to fight Jaguar's bio-warriors. 18, Trunks, Goten, and Kuririn follow Mr. Satan (secretly to save him from any possible danger), and defeat the bio-warriors, pretending to be Mr. Satan's students. That is, until Broly reappears and tries to kill Mr. Satan. In the end, after Broly is killed, Mr. Satan ends up stranded in the water, and the greedy 18 refuses to save him unless he pays her an extra 80,000,000 Zeni. Fuming, he swims off. Fusion Reborn: When the dead are resurrected, Mr. Satan is only seen for a few seconds, beating up walking skeletons and zombies. (This is perhaps the only fight where Mr. Satan actually succeeds at winning, he even says "Finally an adversary I can actually beat! I need to do this where someone can see me!" ) [edit] Name change in the English-language versions Due to editing, Mr. Satan was renamed "Hercule" in the edited and dubbed American version on television and in the English-translated manga, in spite of the fact that a variety of references to hell, heaven, and the next life appear frequently in Lilian Olsen and Gerard Jones' Viz translation; he remains "Mr. Satan" in the uncut English anime on DVD, as well as the Mexican InterTRACK dub. The original name was considered too offensive due to its connection to the biblical Satan, a connotation that was intended but does not have the same religious significance for most in Japan. The new name originates from its use as his name in the French DBZ dub, which was based on Hercules in Roman mythology. (This was not the only case of a Japanese character named "Satan" having a forced name change in an American dub. In Zyuranger, DaiSatan was one of the most powerful villains and was meant to actually be Satan, just as the mecha in the series were, essentially, God. In America, however, his name was changed to Lokar for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and his power was somewhat marginalized. Most of the names were changed in the Zyuranger to Mighty Morphin Power Ranger conversion, such as Bandora to Rita Repulsa, so his case is not rare at all.) Also in the Kamen Rider Stronger series, the name Satan implies evil as well as in most anime series, with "Mr. Satan" being the only exception. Despite its use in the French and Portuguese versions, it should be noted that the changes there were not motivated by editing away offensive content, but instead to distinguish him from Piccolo, whom had been renamed "Satan Petit Cœur" and "Coraçãozinho de Satan" respectivly (both loosley translate to "Satan's little heart"). In the U.S. edition of Shonen Jump published by VIZ Media, an explanation is given that Hercule is the "real name" of the character while Mr. Satan was the name he used as a wrestler (though he has always been a martial artist) perhaps because his design and general showboating personality is similar to a stereotypical western wrestler. Mr. Satan was also named "Mr. Savage" on early English Dragonball products long before the Cell saga was dubbed or published in English. In the tradition of Dragon Ball name puns, Mr. Satan and his family are named after demons/figures from mythology and religion. His daughter's name, Videl, is an anagram of the word devil. His granddaughter, Pan, can also be taken to mean the figure from Greek mythology (though since her father is Son Gohan, it could just as easily mean "bread"; given Toriyama's love of puns, it could be both). Meanwhile in the Philippines, being one of the only two Christian nations in Asia, the name Mr. Satan would sound unpleasant for a cartoon character (whose Filipino translation means "Satanas" or "Demonyo"), therefore it was also dubbed to "blend" with the character. Although there are no manipulations made in the animation (such as changing the names where "Satan" are written, like in "Satan City"), instead they made use of a more slapstick monicker called "Master Pogi", which literally means "Master Handsome" (making his city "Pogi City" or "Handsome City") to match the sense of humor that he brings to the story (the irony being that he isn't that good looking). Eventually, Satan City was renamed Pogi City. [edit] Name Changes in Dragon Ball Z Videogames Dragon Ball Z videogames released in the English-speaking world since 2000 (including the Budokai and Legacy of Goku series) use "Hercule" rather than "Mr. Satan," ostensibly because this is the most familiar name to English-speaking fans. For this same reason, the fusion of Hercule and Son Goku that occurs in the game Budokai 2 is called Gokule. In the Japanese version of this game, however, the character remains "Mr. Satan" and the fused character is called Gotan. The European version of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai had him named 'Mr. Satan", but was later changed to "Hercule". In the booklet for the American release of Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22, the character's name is given as "Mr. Hercule Satan" with Hercule being his first name, and Satan his last. [edit] Abilities Hercule has only a few known moves. Ones that stand out among the rest are below: [edit] Dynamite Kick Used in the Budokai games and referenced to in Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury [edit] Satan Punch Mr. Satan's signature move, this is just an ordinary punch preceeded by Satan shouting "Satan Punch!" when he uses it. He actually used this on the punching machine for a Budokai, which was destroyed by Vegeta. This is also known as the Megaton Punch. (Called Hercule Punch in the edited Funimation version) [edit] Present Bomb This is one of Mr. Satan's humorous last resort moves. The attack consists of Mr. Satan dashing towards his opponent, stopping at the last second, handing his opponent a giftwrapped box (which contains a handheld game), then running off as his opponent is distractedly playing the portable game. Mr. Satan then pushes a remote-control button to make the handheld game explode. The move is likely derived from Satan giving Buu a "Game Poy" (an obvious parody of a Game Boy) and pressing a button to make it explode in the Buu Saga. In the Budokai series, this move is called "Present for You", and is his ultimate move.
