is the first Super Saiyan born in more than a thousand years. At birth, he had an unusually high level of strength for a Saiyan. Broli's exceptional gifts marked him as possibly being the Legendary Super Saiyan. King Vegeta feared this and ordered for his execution. His father, Paragus, begged to spare his life. King Vegeta ended the argument by blasting him. As Broli's execution was carried out both he and his father were left to die. While Paragus barely survived the blast, Broli survived the attempted execution only to grow stronger. On that same day, Freeza acted on his own fear of the Super Saiyan legend and attacks Planet Vegeta. Amid the destruction, Broli encased himself and his father in a powerful shield of ki and escaped.
As great as Broli's power was, his emotional instability was greater. Fearing Broli's state of mind, Paragus had a scientist create a special control device to keep Broli controlled. Successful in controlling him, Paragus planned to have revenge on King Vegeta's son. When Broli encountered Son Goku, Broly became erratic though he was brought back under control by Paragus. Eventually, Broli overpowered the control device, and fully manifested his powers. No longer under the device's control, he unleashed his fury on Goku, Vegeta, Son Gohan, Future Trunks, and Piccolo, and defeated them all. The Z warriors eventually channeled their energy into Goku, who used the energy for one last powerful blow that seemingly killed Broli.
Broli survived and entered a Saiyan Space Pod, coincidently landing on Earth. The crater caused by his landing filled up with water and froze over time, during which he fell into a deep sleep. During this time, Gohan grew up, Son Goten was born and Goku was in the Afterlife. In an adventure to collect the Dragon Balls, Goten, Trunks, and Gohan find themselves in the mountain range where Broli crashed. Broli awakens and Goten, Trunks, Videl, and Gohan became victims to his rampage. It was only after some spiritual help from Goku that they were able to send Broli straight into the sun.
Broli also makes a cameo appearance in the Other World Tournament saga as one of the onlookers in the crowd.

It is later revealed that a sample of his blood was preserved, which was used to clone Broli in a bioengineering laboratory. With his power, the Broli clone shatters the bio-liquid tank in which he was created. Once in open air, the bio-liquid that drenched the clone became corrosive and devoured cellular matter that was not like itself, turning the clone into a bio-mutant. Bio-Broli goes on a rampage and causes a leak in the bio-liquid containers, spilling the bio-liquid throughout the laboratory and the island on which it was located. Goten and Trunks help others escape from the lab and fire ki blasts onto the sea causing a tidal wave to flood the island, solidifying the bio-liquid. However, Bio-Broli reemerged from the sea as a mutated giant only to be solidified by the sea as well. Seeing their opportunity, Goten, Trunks, and Kuririn blasted the solidified Bio-Broli into oblivion.

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. 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 multiple 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. Although she has never been seen in combat (She'd rather shop than train.), except when Baby had her under his control, she does have the ability to fly through use of her ''ki''.

is Son Goku's great-great grandson (Pan's grandson). Just like his great grandfather Son Gohan at a young age Goku Jr. is very timid, and would run away from situations like being bullied. He would not do anything to retrieve what was stolen from him. He is seen once at the end of ''Dragon Ball GT'', fighting in what may be the 64th Tenkaichi Budōkai against a distant descendant of Vegeta's, Vegeta Jr. He also appears in the final ''DBGT'' special, A Hero's Legacy, in which he meets Goku. He might be only 1/16th Saiyan, but has the power to become a Super Saiyan.
His gi resembles Goku's, with the exception of having blue pants and a teal shirt underneath his vest (though in the finale of Dragon Ball GT, he wore Goku's preserved, ancient gi). Goku Junior's hair is in the same style, shape and form of Goku's. His hair and eye color are both black. His headband is red, which makes it resemble the headband Burdock wore before he took on Freeza to defend the Saiyan race from eradication. His skin color resembles Son Gohan's; milky white or very lightly tanned. The only notable difference between him and Goku and/or Goten is his face, which more resembles his mother's side of the family.

is the persons of Goku and Vegeta, merged together by the means of the Fusion Dance. He first appears in . Even when fighting side-by-side, Goku and Vegeta realized they wouldn't be able to defeat the monster Janemba. Thus, Goku persuaded Vegeta to do the Fusion Dance with him. Gogeta's appearance has characteristics inherited from both Goku and Vegeta, but the clothes he wears are in the fashion of the Metamorans, the alien race that developed the Fusion Technique. While neither Goku nor Vegeta were a match for Janemba on their own, Gogeta had the strength and speed to overpower the monster, and easily defeat him.
Gogeta makes a second appearance in ''Dragon Ball GT'', this time transformed into a Super Saiyan 4. At Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta's suggestion, he and Super Saiyan 4 Goku unite to battle the seemingly unstoppable Super Yi Xing Long. Aside from his bright scarlet hair, Gogeta's characteristics are similar to that of a Super Saiyan 4 with the upper half of his body covered in red fur, still wearing his previously seen Metamoran costume. Unlike his regular Super Saiyan state, in which he is a deliberate, no-nonsense fighter, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta takes on a somewhat of a wild, cocky demeanor, much like Vegetto. He toys with and taunts the evil dragon lord, only getting serious after he'd tricked the dragon into using his Negative Karma Ball so that he could turn it into positive energy and undo the damage that had been done to the earth by the Evil Dragons. He is completely invulnerable to any attack due to the immense power gap between him and pretty much all other opponents. His only weakness, his inability to maintain the Fusion for more than 10 minutes, left him just short of time to finish off Super Yi Xing Long after repairing the planet.
Veku appears in , with Vegeta reluctant to perform the Fusion Dance, he and Goku botched the first attempt. The result was the creation of the fat, roly-poly warrior named Veku. Since the Fusion that created had been a blunder, Veku's power level was extremely low, and perhaps his stomach was upset as well, for he pathetically and repeatedly passed gas. Due to his unpredictable motion and repeated gas attacks, Veku somehow managed to survive for 30 minutes against Janemba, after which a second Fusion Dance was performed correctly and Gogeta was formed.

is the persons of Goten and Trunks, merged together by the means of the Fusion Dance. After a few failed attempts at the fusion, Gotenks was finally born. In Gotenks, only the worst traits from Trunks' and (surprisingly) Goten's personalities seemed to appear. He is selfish, rude and extremely overconfident. Even so, the incredible power Gotenks displays more than make up for his attitude. At his first appearance, Gotenks immediately raced off to challenge Fat Buu. For his foolhardy efforts, he was rewarded with a sound beating from Buu. Afterwards, he trained in the Room of Spirit and Time, powering up even more in preparation for his battle against Super Buu. During his training in the Room of Spirit and Time, Gotenks developed an arsenal of super attacks, which made for an interesting (and somewhat silly) battle with Super Buu. Gotenks is capable of making the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, however the energy consumed in this form greatly reduces the amount of time Gotenks can maintain the fusion. Coupled with Gotenks' tendency to become easily distracted, this can be a somewhat serious liability. Gotenks was shown to have enough power to kill Buu, but the fusion wore off just as he was about to deliver a finishing blow. Gotenks is the third strongest hero in the manga series surpassed only by Vegetto and Mystic Gohan but his childish attitude makes him less dangerous than his power would let him to be.

was a desperate fusion by Vegeta and Goku using the Potara Earrings in an effort to defeat Majin Buu. A brash, cocky warrior, Vegetto immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan in the manga. However, in the anime, he fights with Buu in his base form for a time. Even so, he still outclassed Super Buu, launching the gigantic energy ball Buu made with energy from all the planets he had destroyed into outerspace. Super Buu then realized that Vegetto must have been toying with him all along, but still believed he was superior. When Vegetto transformed into his Super Saiyan state, his power and fighting skills outclassed Buu's so greatly that Buu could not even land a blow and this shows why Vegetto could be considered absolutely the strongest being in the ''Dragon Ball Z'' universe. Buu became so angry at the thought of this that he tapped into his evil power reserves to cause a dimensional collapse, but even this fails as Vegetto was able to break through the barrier Buu had created around himself. In desperation Buu turned Vegetto into a jawbreaker. However, this did not work either as Vegetto could still move and retained all his power. Vegetto then attacked Buu, who got pummeled embarrassingly. Since he could not fight back against an opponent that small and fast, Buu turned Vegetto back to his original self. Buu then absorbed Vegetto, but was unable to obtain his power either as Vegetto had created an energy barrier to stop Buu from gaining his power. Vegetto had purposely gotten himself turned into a jawbreaker and absorbed so he could free everyone else who had been absorbed by Super Buu. Once inside Buu's body, the fusion was reverted by unknown means.
The name Vegetto is a portmanteau of the names Vegeta and Kakarotto, the latter being Goku's Saiyan birthname. The spelling Vegetto is the official trade name of the character in Japan, as evident by its appearance in ''Jump Ultimate Stars'' and merchandise such as the ''Super Battle Collection'' action figures. Because of the way Viz transliterates Goku's Saiyan name into Kakarot, Vegetto's name was changed into "Vegerot" in their translation of the manga.

is the biological brother of Son Goku and the eldest son of Burdock. Raditz went to Earth to help in the planet's invasion, and to persuade his younger brother Goku to join the Saiyans in their conquest. However, disappointed to discover that Goku had lost his memories and adjusted to life on Earth, Raditz kidnapped Gohan and tried to force Goku to become an ally. During his battle with Goku and Piccolo, Gohan seeing his father in danger explodes with rage and delivers a massive amount of damage to Raditz in a single blow. Taking advantage of the situation, Goku puts Raditz in a full nelson and demands Piccolo to kill them both with the ''Special Beam Cannon''. Just before his death, he sneered that two more powerful Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, would be coming to Earth in one year's time. Irate, Piccolo finishes him off. An undefined figure flying in the background of a shot in the Super 17 saga of Dragon Ball GT suggests that he was one of the villains that returned to Earth through the portal to hell created by the two android 17's.

Brocco is a tall, muscular Saiyan with long brown hair and grayish skin, while Pumpkin is a short, bald Saiyan with navy blue hair around his head and two scratches on his face. In the Saiyan Saga, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Kuririn and Chaozu use the Pendulum Room to travel through time and face Brocco and Pumpkin in the past to prepare for the upcoming battle with Vegeta and Nappa. Onion is palette swap of Pumpkin that only appears in ''Dragon Ball Z: Kyoushuu! Saiyajin''. He is able to transform into an Oozaru, which is simply a palette swap of Vegeta's Oozaru form in the same game.

Bra
★ 'FUNimation dub': Bulla
★ 'Status': Deceased
★ 'Name pun': Bra
★ 'Seiyū': Hiromi Tsuru
★ 'Voice actor': ?
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. 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 multiple 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. Although she has never been seen in combat (She'd rather shop than train.), except when Baby had her under his control, she does have the ability to fly through use of her ''ki''.

Son Goku Jr.
★ 'FUNimation dub': Goku Jr.
★ 'Status': Alive
★ 'Name pun': ?

★ 'Voice actor': ?
is Son Goku's great-great grandson (Pan's grandson). Just like his great grandfather Son Gohan at a young age Goku Jr. is very timid, and would run away from situations like being bullied. He would not do anything to retrieve what was stolen from him. He is seen once at the end of ''Dragon Ball GT'', fighting in what may be the 64th Tenkaichi Budōkai against a distant descendant of Vegeta's, Vegeta Jr. He also appears in the final ''DBGT'' special, A Hero's Legacy, in which he meets Goku. He might be only 1/16th Saiyan, but has the power to become a Super Saiyan.
His gi resembles Goku's, with the exception of having blue pants and a teal shirt underneath his vest (though in the finale of Dragon Ball GT, he wore Goku's preserved, ancient gi). Goku Junior's hair is in the same style, shape and form of Goku's. His hair and eye color are both black. His headband is red, which makes it resemble the headband Burdock wore before he took on Freeza to defend the Saiyan race from eradication. His skin color resembles Son Gohan's; milky white or very lightly tanned. The only notable difference between him and Goku and/or Goten is his face, which more resembles his mother's side of the family.

is a descendant of Vegeta, seen once at the end of ''Dragon Ball GT''. He is much like Vegeta in name, appearance, and attitude. He fights in the Tenka'ichi Budōkai against Son Goku's great-great grandson.
He is either the great-great grandson or great grandson of Vegeta and Bulma. He enters a tournament and his challenger is Son Goku Jr. He proves to be just like Vegeta. The two competitors are matched equally. Vegeta Jr. eventually goes Super Saiyan, and is surprised to see Goku Jr. can too.
Fusions
Gogeta
★ 'Seiyū': Masako Nozawa and Ryō Horikawa
★ 'Voice actor': Sean Schemmel and Christopher Sabat
is the persons of Goku and Vegeta, merged together by the means of the Fusion Dance. He first appears in . Even when fighting side-by-side, Goku and Vegeta realized they wouldn't be able to defeat the monster Janemba. Thus, Goku persuaded Vegeta to do the Fusion Dance with him. Gogeta's appearance has characteristics inherited from both Goku and Vegeta, but the clothes he wears are in the fashion of the Metamorans, the alien race that developed the Fusion Technique. While neither Goku nor Vegeta were a match for Janemba on their own, Gogeta had the strength and speed to overpower the monster, and easily defeat him.
Gogeta makes a second appearance in ''Dragon Ball GT'', this time transformed into a Super Saiyan 4. At Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta's suggestion, he and Super Saiyan 4 Goku unite to battle the seemingly unstoppable Super Yi Xing Long. Aside from his bright scarlet hair, Gogeta's characteristics are similar to that of a Super Saiyan 4 with the upper half of his body covered in red fur, still wearing his previously seen Metamoran costume. Unlike his regular Super Saiyan state, in which he is a deliberate, no-nonsense fighter, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta takes on a somewhat of a wild, cocky demeanor, much like Vegetto. He toys with and taunts the evil dragon lord, only getting serious after he'd tricked the dragon into using his Negative Karma Ball so that he could turn it into positive energy and undo the damage that had been done to the earth by the Evil Dragons. He is completely invulnerable to any attack due to the immense power gap between him and pretty much all other opponents. His only weakness, his inability to maintain the Fusion for more than 10 minutes, left him just short of time to finish off Super Yi Xing Long after repairing the planet.
Veku
Veku appears in , with Vegeta reluctant to perform the Fusion Dance, he and Goku botched the first attempt. The result was the creation of the fat, roly-poly warrior named Veku. Since the Fusion that created had been a blunder, Veku's power level was extremely low, and perhaps his stomach was upset as well, for he pathetically and repeatedly passed gas. Due to his unpredictable motion and repeated gas attacks, Veku somehow managed to survive for 30 minutes against Janemba, after which a second Fusion Dance was performed correctly and Gogeta was formed.
Gotenks
★ 'Seiyū': Masako Nozawa and Takeshi Kusao
★ 'Voice actor': Kara Edwards and Laura Bailey
is the persons of Goten and Trunks, merged together by the means of the Fusion Dance. After a few failed attempts at the fusion, Gotenks was finally born. In Gotenks, only the worst traits from Trunks' and (surprisingly) Goten's personalities seemed to appear. He is selfish, rude and extremely overconfident. Even so, the incredible power Gotenks displays more than make up for his attitude. At his first appearance, Gotenks immediately raced off to challenge Fat Buu. For his foolhardy efforts, he was rewarded with a sound beating from Buu. Afterwards, he trained in the Room of Spirit and Time, powering up even more in preparation for his battle against Super Buu. During his training in the Room of Spirit and Time, Gotenks developed an arsenal of super attacks, which made for an interesting (and somewhat silly) battle with Super Buu. Gotenks is capable of making the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, however the energy consumed in this form greatly reduces the amount of time Gotenks can maintain the fusion. Coupled with Gotenks' tendency to become easily distracted, this can be a somewhat serious liability. Gotenks was shown to have enough power to kill Buu, but the fusion wore off just as he was about to deliver a finishing blow. Gotenks is the third strongest hero in the manga series surpassed only by Vegetto and Mystic Gohan but his childish attitude makes him less dangerous than his power would let him to be.
Vegetto
★ 'FUNimation dub': Vegito
★ 'Seiyū': Masako Nozawa and Ryō Horikawa
★ 'Voice actor': Sean Schemmel and Christopher Sabat
was a desperate fusion by Vegeta and Goku using the Potara Earrings in an effort to defeat Majin Buu. A brash, cocky warrior, Vegetto immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan in the manga. However, in the anime, he fights with Buu in his base form for a time. Even so, he still outclassed Super Buu, launching the gigantic energy ball Buu made with energy from all the planets he had destroyed into outerspace. Super Buu then realized that Vegetto must have been toying with him all along, but still believed he was superior. When Vegetto transformed into his Super Saiyan state, his power and fighting skills outclassed Buu's so greatly that Buu could not even land a blow and this shows why Vegetto could be considered absolutely the strongest being in the ''Dragon Ball Z'' universe. Buu became so angry at the thought of this that he tapped into his evil power reserves to cause a dimensional collapse, but even this fails as Vegetto was able to break through the barrier Buu had created around himself. In desperation Buu turned Vegetto into a jawbreaker. However, this did not work either as Vegetto could still move and retained all his power. Vegetto then attacked Buu, who got pummeled embarrassingly. Since he could not fight back against an opponent that small and fast, Buu turned Vegetto back to his original self. Buu then absorbed Vegetto, but was unable to obtain his power either as Vegetto had created an energy barrier to stop Buu from gaining his power. Vegetto had purposely gotten himself turned into a jawbreaker and absorbed so he could free everyone else who had been absorbed by Super Buu. Once inside Buu's body, the fusion was reverted by unknown means.
The name Vegetto is a portmanteau of the names Vegeta and Kakarotto, the latter being Goku's Saiyan birthname. The spelling Vegetto is the official trade name of the character in Japan, as evident by its appearance in ''Jump Ultimate Stars'' and merchandise such as the ''Super Battle Collection'' action figures. Because of the way Viz transliterates Goku's Saiyan name into Kakarot, Vegetto's name was changed into "Vegerot" in their translation of the manga.
