Kuririn is introduced in Dragon Ball, and appears similar to a typical shaolin monk, with a bald head and incense burns on his forehead (but he has 6 burns on his head, as opposed to the 9 burns associated with Shaolin). Later in the Dragon Ball Z series, he grows his hair out as he settles down and becomes family oriented. Kuririn is the only human in the series who doesn't have a visible nose, even though in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, he is seen to exhibit behaviors that are associated with the nose. In the beginning of the series, Kuririn is seen to have a love for women, however, this soon fades as the series continues. At his introduction, Kuririn was seen to be a rival student of Son Goku's, however, he quickly became his best friend while training under Muten-Rôshi. Later in the series, he can also be seen to have a close relationship with Goku's son, Gohan. Kuririn eventually settles down and marries a cyborg named Android 18, having a daughter named Marron.

Name and origin Like most Dragon Ball characters, Kuririn's name is a pun. In his case, it is made up of two parts. The first two syllables come from 栗 kuri, which means "chestnut" in reference to his shaved head (the "chestnut" pun is also carried over to his daughter, Marron). The second part of his name comes from 少林 Shōrin ("Shaolin" in Chinese), as his early character designs were closely modeled on Shaolin monks.

Appearance Kuririn's appearance stays relatively the same for the majority of the series. When he first appears, he dresses in a cream colored Shaolin uniform. Later on, he dresses in an orange uniform, which was given to him by his sensei Muten-Rôshi. His physical appearance is very basic, he is first introduced in the series with no hair, however, he grows hair later in the series. His oddest feature is that he does not possess a nose, and he has six incense burns on his forehead (Shaolin monks had nine). Kuririn is also one of the shortest members of the Z team, as he does not grow much past his first appearance in the series, so even as an adult, he is under five feet tall.[verification needed] Muten-Rôshi ) (in English, Old Master Martial Sky) is a fictional character and supercentenarian in the Dragon Ball metaseries by Akira Toriyama. ...
Character information Originally a "Oolin" (Oorinji (多林寺), or "Numerous Grove Temple," is a pun of Shoorinji (少林寺), or "Few Grove Temple," which is the Japanese pronunciation of "Shaolinsi") monk who came to Muten-Rôshi for training, Kuririn is the best friend of Son Goku and student of Muten-Rôshi in his first appearance in the anime and manga. He is often used as comic relief or cannon fodder by the author, and has been killed a number of times in the series. Despite being not so strong when compared to his Saiyan comrades, he is widely believed to be the strongest pure-blooded human in the Dragon Ball series, being thousands of times stronger than the average person. Although he is not as strong as Goku or Gohan, his determination in helping his friends is a key asset. Furthermore, Kuririn's ingenuity and talent for Ki-manipulation is far superior than that of most warriors, even those stronger than himself, and he has a knack for sensing hidden powers. Kuririn had his dormant Ki awakened by the Namek Elder during the events of Freeza, but this has been his only "enhancement". Kuririn has trained hard most of his life, becoming extremely powerful and proving it in combat with many foes. Unfortunately, he is quickly outclassed by other characters in the series, such as the Saiyans; though among all the full-blooded humans he faces in combat he is one of the strongest. On one occasion, Yamcha says, during the course of the World Tournament in the Buu Saga, that Kuririn is the strongest human being in the world, however, this could be either truth or Yamcha just talking to Marron. At any rate, Kuririn is brave and resourceful, and the audience identifies him as a good-natured underdog. He has also, arguably, adjusted to a relatively normal life better than most of his friends by seeking women in his life. He is the more "normal" human of his friends as he can be seen wearing normal clothes on days where he's not fighting other than his typical martial arts dōgi.

A running joke in the anime is Kuririn's poor luck with women despite his enthusiasm. Consistent with the theme of redemption in the series, he spared Android 18's life when presented with the chance to activate her self-destruct sequence because he found her to be redeemable. In a bit of ironic fortune, he later married the beautiful Android 18 and later had a relatively normal daughter named Marron.

Another running joke is that when he forgets his nervousness, he is felled with a single blow (and even in some cases killed) and never gets back up again. In the first half of Dragon Ball Z he would usually talk to either Goku or Gohan and try to demotivate them as a consequence. Though in the conclusions to Cell Games in the anime, Kuririn along with the other Z-Fighters repeatedly blasted Cell as the bio-android was having a Kamehameha struggle with Gohan, only for Cell to brush Kuririn and the rest aside with his aura. Ironically, he gets back up and tries again and again, and even comments on how he used to just lie down, but Goku and Gohan taught him to never give up.
At times when confronted with a fearsome, or powerful opponent, Kuririn is very nervous, and even at times shows behaviour that borders cowardice. However, Kuririn at times swallows his fears and doubts, and pulls off incredible feats such as being one of the surviving warriors during the Saiyan invasion, and even going as far as to knock down Nappa and graze his face with a Kienzan, despite being at a size and power disadvantage. Another example is kicking Reacoome and preventing him from finishing Vegeta off. As a member of the Ginyu Force, Reacoome is part of what was considered the most feared group in the universe (Though Kuririn was then crushed with a single kick). Though somewhat neurotic, and self-doubtful (in contrast to his carefree and confident best friend, Goku), Kuririn in his shining moments is shown to be quite brave and resourceful. The Vegeta Saga (formerly known as the Saiyan Saga) is the first saga in the anime TV series, Dragon Ball Z. It was preceded by the final Dragon Ball chapter (Piccolo Junior Saga) from the anime Dragon Ball, and was followed by the Namek Saga, the first chapter in the...

Son Goku , Goku in most English versions) is the protagonist who first appears in the Dragon Ball manga created by Akira Toriyama, more popularly followed by an anime series. ...
Despite popular fan belief, Kuririn is not naturally bald. Due to his original monastic training, he merely shaves his head. During his training with Goku under Muten-Rôshi, Kuririn comments that 'All who aspire to master the martial arts shave their heads in order to unfetter their ki' and seemed surprised to find out Muten-Rôshi was naturally bald[1]. After settling down with his new family, his hair grows out (as Gohan humorously explains), although his original smoothcrowned look is the most familiar to fans. The six dots on his forehead are probably scars from incense burns, based on the similar pattern that appears on the forehead of a Shaolin monk.
History
Dragon Ball
21st Tenka'ichi Budokai He trains under Muten-Rôshi alongside Goku in preparation for the 21st Tenka'ichi Budôkai (World Martial Arts Tournament). Goku was initially his rival, but they eventually grew close and became his best friend. Though no new moves were taught to him, he soon realised the benefits of the training. In the 21st Tenka'ichi Budokai he found his training as a great advantage, and breezed through the preliminaries, advancing as one of the eight warriors going on into the main event. He defeats Bacterian, a combatant known to have never taking a bath in his entire life, by kicking him down and flactuating in his face.[2] He is defeated in the semi-finals, however, losing to Jackie Chun (Muten-Rôshi in disguise) who then goes to the finals, as well as his training partner, Goku. In an intense battle, Jackie Chun, by the slimmest of chances emerges victorious. Kuririn salutes Goku for going as far as he did.

Once they arrive back at the palace, Kuririn pulls up Bulma's top, causing Kamesen'nin to have a nose bleed, revealing the Invisible Man (In the edited anime, Kamesen'nin throws a can of tomato soup at the Invisible Man). Yamcha then finishes with a Shin Rogafufuken (New Wolf Fang Fist). Yamcha is however defeated by a mummy fighter. Goku enters the tournament and defeats him, as well as the Devil Man. Goku battles a old man in a fox mask, and seems to be evenly matched, until he exposes his weakness, his tail. Kamesen'nin knows the identity of the fighter in the mask as one of his students. Goku's tail is eventually removed and soon it is revealed that the fighter is actually Goku's deceased grandfather, Gohan. Goku is overjoyed to meet him again, and Baba reveals to Goku that she can bring dead people to the realm of the living for a day. At Gohan's request, Goku promises to train harder and strengthen his tail, and Baba finally reveals the location of the last Dragon Ball, which happens to be with Pilaf. Goku defeats Pilaf and takes the ball, and asks Shenlong to revive Bora, Upa's father (who was killed by Tao Pai Pai).

Kamesen'nin himself dies of exhaustion from using the Mafuba technique, as another victim of Piccolo Daimao. Piccolo uses Dragon Balls and summons Shenlong, and wishes for eternal youth, as Chaozu is also killed. It is granted and the Demon King is far more powerful, and destroys Shenlong to prevent those who wish for his destruction. Goku drank the potentially fatal Chou Kami Water and lived, releasing a vast potential. Goku was given a new Kintoun and travelled to fight Piccolo Daimao, and avenge Kuririn. The intense battle concluded in Piccolo's destruction, finally avenging Kuririn and Muten Roshi. Before his destruction, Piccolo released an egg, with his essence inside, becoming the new Piccolo.

Piccolo Jr. Saga -
Many of the heroes including Goku pass through the preliminaries except Chaozu, who was brutally defeated by a reconstucted Tao Pai Pai, who has survived his last encounter from Goku and seeks revenge on both Goku and the former students of Tsurusen'nin. They also meet Ma-Junior, known better as the new Piccolo. Another fighter entering a tournament is a somewhat mysterious girl, who has hidden her identity, and is frustrated at Goku, for not knowing who she is. Tenshinahan battles Tao Pai Pai, and wins with ease, albeit being sliced across his chest by the assassin's blade, scarring him permanently. Goku battles the mysterious girl, and she promises that if Goku wins, she will tell him who she is. Goku does so, and the girl reveals that she is actually Chichi, to everyone's surprise. She came to the tournament because Goku forgot his promise to marry her. Since Goku didn't understand the concept of marriage, believing it to be some sort of food, Kuririn clarified it by saying that she wants Goku to be with her and live with her for the rest of his life. When Goku agreed in front of the whole audience, Chi-chi's anger subsided, and fell intensely in love with Goku. Kuririn battled Piccolo Jr, and proved to be quite resilient, revealing his Bukujustu technique and firing two concentrated ki blasts at him, who which Piccolo nullified with eye blasts. This was in vain, however, as Kuririn attempted to fire a Kamehameha at the demon, only for him to fly above him and send him crashing to the arena floor with double-fisted smash on top of his head. Kuririn forfeited the match, unable to stand. Yamcha was defeated by a seemingly goofy fighter named Shen, when he revealed his superior skill. Shen was later revealed to be Kami-sama himself, possessing a human body to descend on Earth to fight his evil counterpart, Piccolo. As Goku defeated Tenshinhan, Shen pitted against Piccolo, made himself known to him and attempted to seal him in a bottle with the Mafuba, only for Piccolo to reverse it, Kami gave up Shen to spare him from being sealed. Goku explains Piccolo Jr's genesis and his link with Kami, before finally fighting him in the finals. The battle was incredibly intense, with Goku at times looking like he was going to lose. Kuririn, Yamcha and Tenshinhan offered Goku's assistance, but Goku refused, saying the fight wouldn't be fair, and he doesn't want to risk disqualificaton. Goku narrowly wins the battle against Piccolo and is the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai champion. After that, Goku says his goodbyes to his friends as he gets married to Chi-chi. Later, during the marriage of Goku and Chi-chi, Kuririn was invited as best man at the ceremony, thus ending the Dragon Ball series. The Piccolo Junior Saga is the last saga of the Dragon Ball original series to occur in the manga and the second last in the anime. ...

Dragon Ball Z
Saiyan Saga -
Five years later, Kuririn attended a reuninon party at the Kame House, with Goku attending the party revealing his son with his wife, Chi-chi: Son Gohan whom he named after his grandfather, and even had a hat with his Four-Star Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, it was interrupted by an alien named Raditz of the Saiyan race, who reveals that Goku's real name is Kakarot, and is his younger brother, thus Goku is in actuality an alien. Kuririn confronts him only to be swatted by his tail, crashing into the Kame House. Raditz then reveals that as a Saiyan, Goku's mission was to wipe out all life on Earth for preparation for the planet to be sold. Muten Roshi validates Raditz's claims as truth, when he tells a story Goku's grandfather Gohan told him about a boy he adopted from a space pod but was originally savage and violent, until when being carried by Gohan on a hiking trip, he accidentally fell into a ravine and hit his head, erasing his programming and adopting a loving personality. Goku refuses his heritage and attempts to fight him, but Raditz defeats Goku, and kidnaps Gohan, demanding him to exterminate 100 humans, and bring their bodies to him, if he ever wants to see his son again. The Saiyan Saga is the name of the first saga in the anime Dragon Ball Z. It was preceded by the final Dragon Ball saga, the Piccolo Junior Saga, and was followed by the Namek Saga, the first chapter in the much larger Freeza Saga plot arc. ...

Kuririn and Muten Roshi ask to join Goku in rescuing Gohan, at the risk of their lives again. However, Piccolo appeared and said that Raditz cannot be defeated in this way, having confronted him earlier. Goku reluctantly teams up with Piccolo to defeat a common enemy. Raditz, with the help of Gohan's hidden powers is defeated by Goku and Piccolo at the cost of Goku's life. Piccolo tells Raditz that Goku can be revived with the Dragon Balls, making his death not in vain, but Raditz reveals that his scouter is also a communication device, and two other Saiyans more powerful than himself will arrive on Earth upon hearing of the Dragon Balls. Piccolo then finishes the invader off. Piccolo then kidnaps Gohan to fend off the oncoming threat.
Knowing the situation, Kami-sama sends Goku to be trained by Kaio-sama ('Lord of Worlds'), while Kami-sama instructs Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chaozu and Yajirobe to receive training from him in the year.[3] When the Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa do arrive, they reveal that Piccolo is an alien from Planet Namek. Nappa then grow aliens called Saibamen from the ground. As Tenshinhan, Chaozu and Yamcha accompany them, the Saiyans start a mock tournament, which the Z-Fighters agree to buy time for Goku's arrival. Tenshinhan defeats one of them, which is still alive and Vegeta blows it up for failure. Yamcha fights the next Saibaman and defeats it using the Kamehameha. While Yamcha celebrates his victory and boasts on taking them all on, Vegeta smirks and says he should focus on the one he had just fought. The Saibaman hops up, grabs Yamcha in a hold and self-destructs, killing the Z-Fighter. Enraged by Yamcha's death, Kuririn powers up and fires a large ki blast which splits up and rains on the remaining Saibamen, and the Saiyans. Kuririn has destroyed all the Saibamen, except one that Piccolo destroys. Unfortunately, the Saiyans survived, and to make things worse, they received little or no damage from the attack.

Chaozu grabs himself on to Nappa's back and detonates himself in an attempt to destroy him, but Nappa is largely unscathed. Tenshinhan is easily floored, as Kuririn and Piccolo start an airborne counter-attack to send him flying while Gohan blasts him when he's off guard. It works for the first part until Gohan's age catches up with him, and cowers behind a rock after seeing the brutality of battle. Kuririn tries to catch him with a Kamehameha, but Nappa barely dodges it. Kuririn with Piccolo tries to use melee attacks on Nappa in the air, (In the anime, they even use a variation of Tenshinhan's split body technique, separating into 3 of the same fighter each, but it fails) Tenshinhan uses one final Kikoho to finsh Nappa off, but only some of his armor is blasted off, and the triclops perishes of exhaustion. Vegeta soon realises that Goku, whom the Z-Fighters are waiting for, is the Saiyan they refer to as "Kakarot" and laughs at the Earthlings saying that Goku barely held his own against Raditz who is far weaker than both Nappa and himself. When they insist that Goku is much stronger since then, an interested Vegeta calls off Nappa's assault and tells him to wait for three hours for Goku to arrive. After then, the battle will resume with Goku present or not.
After three hours, Goku had still not arrived, and the battle resumed. Piccolo comes up with a plan to have Kuririn pretend to charge at him, while Piccolo grabs his tail, the weakness of a Saiyan. Gohan will then blast the downed Nappa. The plan works until Nappa knocks Piccolo out, by elbowing his head. Vegeta reveals that Nappa and himself are immune to that weakness. Nappa then attacks Gohan, and as perepare to finish him off, until Kuririn knocks him aside, dodges his attack and fires his new technique: the Kienzan, which just scrapes Nappa's face. It would have probably decapitated him, had it not been for Vegeta's warning. A furious Nappa fires a powerful ki blast, which narrowly misses Kuririn, but leaves him injured from the powerful shockwaves. As Nappa prepares to fire another one at him to finish him, he is blasted at the back by a now-conscious Piccolo. The Z-Fighters are pleased to sense Goku's return to Earth, and inform the Saiyans of Goku's return. When Nappa asks Vegeta to use his scouter to pick any oncoming power levels, Vegeta is shocked to pick up Goku's power level which is around 5,000. Vegeta orders Nappa to exterminate the surviving Z-Fighters in the hopes that they don't aid Goku, as 5,000 may be the lowest power level Goku is exerting. When Nappa protests about Piccolo, Vegeta tells him they can just travel to Namek, learning it was the Namekians who created them. Nappa attempts to attack Gohan, but Piccolo blocks it and dies losing Kami in the process, and thus the Earth's Dragon Balls. Gohan fires a Masenko at Nappa out of anger, but the Saiyan deflects it with a punch. Goku soon arrives and gives Senzu to Gohan and Kuririn upon learning what happened to the others he makes quick work of Nappa. Vegeta then destroys the Saiyan sidekick for his weakness. Goku tells both Kuririn and Gohan to go to Kame House while he battles Vegeta. Decapitation (from Latin, caput, capitis, meaning head), or beheading, is the removal of a living organisms head. ...

The battle is great, and Goku finally appears to have won, until Vegeta returns and forms a Power Ball to throw into the sky and turns into an Oozaru, and crushes Goku. After seeing the Power Ball, Kuririn and Gohan return to the battlefield and meet up with Yajirobe. Kuririn confirms that the giant ape is Vegeta, and Yajirobe departs, leaving Kuririn and Gohan to confront Vegeta. As Oozaru Vegeta grabs Goku and crushes him, Kuririn tries to fire a Kienzan at the Saiyan's tail to no avail, since his ears are now very sensitive. However, Yajirobe returns and finally cuts it off before cowering behind a rock pillar. The Saiyan drops Goku from the pain. Son Goku, transformed into an Oozaru. ...
Vegeta reverts to his normal state and attacks Gohan. Kuririn tries to fight him but is swiftly kicked aside. Gohan himself is soon overwhelmed as he is tossed next to Goku by Vegeta, preparing to finish them off. Goku convinces Gohan to fight Vegeta, but takes a flying knee in the stomach by Vegeta. As Gohan duels with the invader, Goku calls Kuririn over to him, and has him hold the Genki Dama he saved up. Kuririn gets nervous from the movement of Vegeta and Gohan, but is contacted by Kaio-sama himself, guiding him when to fire it. As Vegeta charges at Gohan, Yajirobe yells at Kuririn to fire the attack. Vegeta notices it, and Kuririn fires the Genki Dama, only for the Saiyan to dodge it. But Gohan blocks and redirects it towards Vegeta, blasting him into the sky.
Vegeta however, is not dead and lands back on Earth, and catches Kurirn off-guard. The Saiyan then attempts to destroy them but fails. Vegeta notices Gohan's tail has regrown, and attempts to kill him before he can be a threat but is saved by Yajirobe. Vegeta gets up and punishes him, but Gohan, looking at the Power Ball, turns into an Oozaru. Gohan then pummels Vegeta at Goku's telepathic assistance. Vegeta chops off Gohan's tail with a Kienzan but is crushed by Gohan landing on him in mid-transformation. Vegeta summons his space-pod, and attempts to escape. Kuririn takes Yajirobe's sword, and attempts to kill him with it, but Goku pleads for Vegeta's life to be spared. When Kuririn points out that Vegeta has threatened all life on Earth, and if spared will likely do so again, Goku says that as a Saiyan, he likes the thought of fighting Vegeta again. Kuririn reluctantly spares Vegeta's life. Vegeta swears revenge as he retreats, and the Saiyan invasion is over.

Namek Saga and Ginyu Saga -
Bulma, Kuririn and Son Gohan travel to Planet Namek with Kami's old spacecraft, in the hopes of reviving those killed by the Saiyans and the Earth's Dragon Balls. Goku stays behind to recover from his fight with Vegeta. Upon arriving from Namek, they find out that they are not the only ones looking for them. Apparently, Vegeta also came to Namek looking for them, thus bringing back the threat of fighting him again. To make things worse, others are on the planet, some who are even stronger than Vegeta, and are attacking the Namekian villages looking for the Dragon Balls.

The two then fly across to see the ringleader of the assault, Freeza. Kuririn then realises that Freeza is the head of the Galactic Market, which sells planets to the highest bidder and master of the Saiyans, remembering Raditz's encounter with him and Goku. Kuririn and Gohan watches as the Namekians put up a small resistance against Freeza's soldiers, but one of Freeza's men, Dodoria easily kills them, then turns his attention to a small Namekian boy, which Gohan rescues by angrily kicking Dodoria aside. Kuririn and Gohan escape Dodoria, as he is caught by Vegeta and killed. Kuririn also notices that from his encounter with them, Vegeta learnt to sense ki without a scouter. The Namekian boy reveals his name as Dende and he is taken to Bulma's base which she set up.

Dende takes Kuririn to meet Saichorou, sole survivor of a storm which almost wiped out the Namekians, to retrieve a Dragon Ball. Kuririn meets the elderly Namek, and has his dormant potential unlocked, and receives a Dragon Ball as a gift. Unfortunately, Vegeta - who is even stronger after a defeat at the hands of Freeza's henchman, Zarbon - follows Kuririn. Zarbon also joins the chase. Kuririn returns to Bulma, only to notice that Vegeta has come, as well as Zarbon. A fight ensues between Vegeta and Zarbon, but Vegeta with his increased strength kills the henchman, and forces Kuririn to surrender the Dragon Ball. As Vegeta gloats while taking off for having all seven orbs, Bulma points out to Kuririn that Gohan went and found a Dragon Ball himself, and when he returned he reveals he cleverly hid it from Vegeta and told him that his Dragon Radar was a high-tech watch.

Kuririn takes Gohan to Saichorou to have his dormant powers awakened, knowing it will help their chances against Vegeta or Freeza. Vegeta himself follows their ki, while Gohan's potential is awakened. Vegeta is confronted by a Namekian warrior called Nail. Unfortunately, Kuririn, Gohan and Vegeta sense five strong kis which Vegeta believes are of Freeza's elite mercenary group called the Ginyu Force, which Freeza summoned to capture Vegeta. Vegeta demands Kuririn reveal to him the location of his Dragon Ball, if they hope to stand a chance against them. Nail then tells them that unlike on Earth, the Namekian Dragon can grant three wishes, opposed to one, meaning the Earthlings can get their wish. As Kuririn takes the Dragon Ball from Bulma's base, Vegeta gathers the magical orbs in his possession, and an uneasy alliance is formed. This is a list of fictional extraterrestrials (excluding Saiyans) who first appeared in the Dragon Ball manga, followed by the anime series, including the Dragon Ball Z movies. ...
The Ginyu Force eventually catches up with the team, prompting Vegeta to force Kuririn to smash the Dragon Ball in his possession, only for it to end up in the hands of the Ginyu Force member Gurd, who has the ability to freeze time by holding his breath. Vegeta attempts to toss a Dragon Ball far away, but the Ginyu Force member Baata easily catches it with speed boasting to be the greatest in the universe. The seven orbs are then given to their leader, Ginyu, and he flies off to Freeza's spaceship. Gurd faces off against Gohan and Kuririn who both prove to be too much for him, forcing to resort to his time freezing abilities. Even then Gohan and Kuririn are too powerful, so Gurd paralyses them and tries to use telekinesis to impale them with a tree log with a sharp edge, only for Vegeta to throw it back at Gurd, decapitating him, then blowing his head up.

Vegta then duels with the muscular Ginyu Force member, Reacoom, and as they fight, Vegeta surpises his adversary, even blowing off his armor and burning off most of his hair, but is then overwhelmed. Kuririn and Gohan decide to take action knowing without Vegeta, they have little hope against the Ginyu Force. Kuririn prevents Reacoom from attcking Vegeta with his Eraser Gun mouth blast, by kicking him on the back of his head, knocking a few of Reacoom's teeth out, but Reacoom retaliates by felling Kuririn with a kick to the side, leving him immobile. Gohan on his own has to face off against the brutish mercenary, but he too was defeated, bringing him to near-death.

Fortunately, Goku has finally arrived on Planet Namek, several times stronger from his training in the spaceship Dr. Briefs built. Goku quickly arrives on the battlefield, giving Senzu to Gohan and Kuririn, and even one to Vegeta. To everyone's surprise, Goku knocks out Reacoom with a single blow to the stomach which was too fast to see. Baata and the other Ginyu Force member, Jheese, team up on Goku but he proves more than they expected, and is even faster than Baata, as he soon renders Baata unconscious, leaving Jheese to retreat to Captain Ginyu. Vegeta kills Baata by stomping on his neck, then blasting the unconscious Reacoom to bits, to Goku's disappointment. Goku tells Kuririn and Gohan to get the Dragon Radar, while he and Vegeta battle Captain Ginyu, but Vegeta flies off, threatening to kill Kuririn and Gohan once they summon the Eternal Dragon, leaving Goku caught up in a fight against Ginyu. Kuririn and Gohan take the Dragon Radar from a frustrated Bulma and reveal to her that Goku has arrived, to her joy. The two Z-Fighters fly off to Freeza's spaceship and find the seven orbs under the ground near it. They realise that they don't know the password, and Vegeta who is hiding nearby is annoyed at this. To make things worse, Captain Ginyu and Jheese arrive, with the former able to steal Goku's body with his Body Change technique, catching Kuririn and Gohan off-guard. Goku arrives in Ginyu's body, which is critically injured and confirms that Ginyu stole his body, but tells them that Ginyu doesn't understand how to use it. This proves trues when Ginyu's power in Goku's body is far lower than he expected, and Kuririn and Gohan battle him, while Vegeta fights Jheese.

As the battle continues, Ginyu begins to discover the powers of Goku's body, but the true is also the same for Goku, and the three Z-Fighters team up against Ginyu. However, during the fight Vegeta kills Jheese and turns his attention to Ginyu, pummeling him before knocking him into the ground. Captian Ginyu attempts the Body Change technique, only for Goku to get caught in it, getting his body back. When Ginyu in his original body coaxes Vegeta to fight him, he tries the Body Change technique again in mid-air, only for Goku to throw a frog in the middle of the blast, trapping Ginyu in a frog's body.
Freeza Saga Goku is sent to heal in a chamber in Freeza's spaceship for the imminent battle against Freeza. While Vegeta takes a nap, Kuririn finds Dende and brings him outside Freeza's spaceship to summon the Eternal Dragon as he knows the password. The Namekian Dragon, Porunga can only grant wishes in Namekian. Also as a drawback, Porunga can only resurrect one person at a time. Piccolo contacts Gohan telepathically via Kaio-sama, and requests to be the first brought back to life, as Kami-sama will be revived too and the Earth's Dragon Balls will be restored. His next request is that he would be transported to Namek, to avenge the Namekians slaughtered by Freeza. Gohan asks Dende to make the wish, Porunga resurrects Piccolo, and on the second wish teleports him to Namek. As Freeza draws closer to the Z-Fighters, Dende points out that although Porunga transported Piccolo to Namek, he was still some distance away. Before they can wish for Piccolo to be present among them, a furious Vegeta awakens and confronts them. When they point out that one wish is left, Vegeta forces Dende to wish for his immortality to battle the oncoming Freeza. Saichoro dies prematurely, however, and Porunga disappears, turning the Dragon Balls into stone. To make things worse, a furious Freeza arrived to exact his vengeance on Vegeta, and the Z-Fighters. This is a list of deities, legendary creatures and other beings of unexplained origin that appear in the anime and manga universe of the Dragon Ball metaseries, including the Dragon Ball Z movies. ...
Kuririn, Gohan and Vegeta manage to hold their own against Freeza, so the tyrant transforms increasing his power greatly. Kuririn is soon impaled by Freeza's horn and thrown into the sea. An angry Gohan punishes Freeza with a flurry of punches and kicks, then smashes him onto the ground, firing several ki blasts. Freeza is still relatively unharmed and punishes Gohan, but Kuririn saves him by firing a Kienzan at Freeza's tail, cutting a portion of it off. Kuririn stalls Freeza with a variety of tricks, while Dende heals Gohan, just as he did Kuririn. The warrior returns to the team, as does Freeza, but Piccolo arrives more powerful than ever, after merging with Nail who was mauled in a fight with Freeza earlier. Piccolo proves to be on even terms with Freeza, and eventually gains the upper hand. Freeza trnsforms again, and humbles Piccolo, with his strength, speed and a barrage of ki blasts. Gohan's anger explodes again, and he fights Freeza, knocking him down and fires a huge ki bolt at Freeza, which he just has enough power to deflect back at him. Piccolo saves him by firing a ki blast at it, detonating it. Freeza is prompted to transforming into his final form, while Vegeta forces Kuririn to harm him seeing Gohan's assault, planning to heal from near-death using Dende, and receive a great increase in power. Kuririn gets nervous, but at Vegeta's insults, Kuririn blasts a hole in Vegeta, crictically injuring him. Vegeta confronts Dende to heal him, but Deende refuses as Vegeta murdered many of his people and runs off to heal Piccolo instead. Piccolo persuades Dende to revive Vegeta, as Freeza finally transforms into his final form.
Freeza kills Dende with a ki beam to prevent him from healing the fighters again. The assault of Kuririn, Gohan and Piccolo are not enough as he easily dodges their moves, then tries to fire a ki beam at Gohan, but Vegeta just saves him. The Saiyan Prince announces he is a Super Saiyan and steps forward to challenge him, to Freeza's amusement. Veegeta fights Freeza with all his moves evaded, until he finally realises he is merely toying with him, and realizes he is not a Super Saiyan and his own death is at hand. Freeza pummels Vegeta repeatedly, just as Goku emerges from the rejuvenation chamber fully restored and more powerful then ever. When Goku arrives, Vegeta is slaughtered in front of him, and soon the two combatants battle intensely. Even still, Freeza reveals he is using but a small portion of his full power, and punishes Goku with ease prompting to use the Genki Dama. Piccolo realises time is needed to charge it, so Kuririn and Gohan lend him their power to stall the galactic emperor. Piccolo is dispacthed, and Freeza attempts to destroy them all by firing a ball of ki into the planet, but Goku fires the Genki Dama at Freeza who is unable to block the attack, resulting in a huge explosion.
Deaths In terms of deaths, Kuririn has been struck in the head by Tambourine, blown up by Freeza, eaten by Majin Buu, and in Dragon Ball GT again murdered by Android 17. He is restored to life each time, twice by Porunga and twice by Shenlong (although Shenlong cannot grant the same wish twice, Kururin was revived as part of a mass revival, a device which has been used several times to side-step the aforementioned limit on resurrection). After the final revival, he survives the rest of the series until the end of the last episode, by which he (and all major characters except Pan, Dende, Muten-Rôshi and possibly Goku) has died of old age.
