Great Saiyaman
It’s the mysterious super hero that suddenly appears in Hercule City! His true identity, believe it or not, is the mild-mannered high school student Gohan!
The Saiyaman transformation suit is one of Bulma’s special inventions.
In order to help maintain peace in the city, Great Saiyaman flies around battling evil-doers and the like. But everyone except Goten and Chichi thinks he has a stupid-looking costume! What’s a super hero gotta do to earn a little respect?!
To complement his heroic deeds, Great Saiyaman performs various awe-inspiring poses. If he’s out battling crime with Great Saiyaman II, you might see the pair performing these poses together.
In the DBZ movies, he is called upon to battle Frieza, Hildegarn, and a host of evil villains called back from Other World.
Super Saiyan 4 Goku
After transforming into a giant ape in the battle with Baby Vegeta, Goku lost his reason and went on a blind rampage. However, after seeing Pan’s tears, his reason returned and he transformed into Super Saiyan 4.
This state has the most drastic outward changes of the various Super Saiyan forms. Goku’s hair is black, his upper body is covered with red fur, and his nature becomes wild.
In addition to the techniques of Dragon Fist and Instant Transmission, he can now use a new finishing move, the "10x Kamehameha".
Goku (child)
After his foster parent Grandpa Gohan’s death, Goku lived alone in the mountain wilderness. When he meets Bulma, he sets off on a great adventure in search of the Dragon Balls.
Over the course of his adventures, Goku makes many new friends and enemies, and puts his skills to the test in the World Martial Arts Tournament. Little by little, he grows stronger with each passing day.
Presently, Goku excels at many of the Turtle School techniques, but his signature moves are his Grandpa’s rock-paper-scissors punch various Power Pole attacks.
Goku’s weak point is his tail: if it’s grabbed, he is rendered powerless. Goku also consumes vast quantities of food, and if he gets hungry, he can’t move.
When he was a kid, he promised Chichi that he would marry her, but it’s just like Goku to promise without knowing what marriage is…
Garlic Jr. (pre-transformation)
Garlic Jr. is a powerful villain who aims to take Kami’s post and rule the world. He has been granted immortality through the power of the Dragon Balls.
His father, Garlic, was once one of Kami’s possible successors, but Kami understood his true motivations for wanting the post, and he was not chosen.
Still holding onto his resentment, Garlic tried to betray Kami, but he was sealed away instead.
Garlic Jr. seeks to avenge his father and has raised a group of followers, but Goku and the Z-fighters stood in his way.
Though sealed away in the Dead Zone, Garlic Jr. somehow managed to escape. Once more, he returned to Kami’s Lookout in search of revenge and world domination.
Garlic Jr. has considerable power and guile, and the Makyo Star provides him with additional power.
Super Garlic Jr. (post-transformation)
This is Garlic Jr.’s giant, powered up form. Frustrated by the Z-fighters’ interference with his plans, he transforms in an effort to finish them off.
In this giant form, his power level is significantly increased. In combination with this overwhelming strength, his powers of immortality allow him fight with reckless abandon, using his body as a weapon.
His finishing move allows him to open up a dimensional vortex known as the Dead Zone.
