Heartless Me Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 My friend typed this up, I would like some feedback on it... :toothy: Saiyajin. The saiyajin race is a primary focus in the world of Dragonball Z and GT. Following is a brief history and an in-depth look at the amazing powers of the race. The saiyajin race once inhabited the planet Plant, a world ten times the size of earth. They shared their world with an amazingly intelligent race known as the Tsufuru-jin, who created vast cities of incredible technological wizardry. The saiyajin back then were primitive, cave-dewlling folk who hated the Tsufuru. Many wars were fought between them, but the saiyajin, even with their naturally powerful builds and innate powers to focus and manipulate ki energy, were at a severe disadvantage against the superior Tsufuru weaponry. Eventually, the Saiyajin got the upper hand - and an insurmountable advantage. Every thirteen years, the saiyajin moon becomes full, and induces an amazing transformation in those who look at it. The entire saiyajin population transformed into massive ape-like creatures, and proceeded to lose all control, decimating the Tsufuru-jin into extiction. Afterwards, the Saiyajin took over the demolished cities, and attempted to use the advanced technology present. But, given the saiyajin's slightly less-developed intelligence, all their attempts at travelling beyond their planet failed. Eventually, they would succeed, and they made contact with the Arcosia-jin. The Arcosia-jin hired the saiyajin as 'planet-brokers' and gave them enough working technology to start an invincible force of planet-pirates. I would think that the rise of Furiiza came about several centuries later, and I believe him and King Cold to be Arcosia-jin themselves, given their conrtol over the vast interstellar empire created by the saiyajin efforts. The basic saiyajin. The saiyajin race is probably the least genetically diverse species in existence. Many of them look alike, and in the lower ranks, are nearly identical. (In the case of Turles and Kakarrot.) Saiyajin have a naturally powerful build, thanks to the intense gravity of their planet, and an innate ability to use and control ki. All saiyajin have black eyes, and either black or brown hair which is very thick and stiff, and stands straight up. A saiyajin's tail is considered the source of their power, and is very sensitive to pain. Those of the elite-class either have a natural tolerance for having their tail injured, or have forcively desensitized themselves to it. Given how Gohan's tail had regrown during his training with Piccolo, it seems that the appendage can regrow itself until the time of puberty, or until the area becomes cauterized and seared closed. Also, with the repeated removing of the tail, the saiyajin's body regenerates it faster each time and eventually gets the process down to a science, thus allowing the tail to be regrown at any point in the saiyajin's lifetime. Oozaru. The infamous Oozaru (meaning big monkey) form is probably the most widely-known ability of the saiyajin. It is my belief that the genetic coding of the saiyajin is very different from any other humanoid race, and probably mutates given certain types of radiation. Such is the case of Oozaru. A small organ in the tip of the Saiyajin's tail collects a type of radiation known as brutz waves, which travel along a nerve-path directly from the eyes - thus why saiyajin must stare at a source of moonlight. Once the brutz waves reach a certain concentration, it triggers the mutation into a giganic monkey. In this form, a saiyajin's capacity for ki energy is amplified tenfold, reflecting their increased size and strength. Ougon Oozaru. The rare 'Golden Weremonkey' that appears in Dragonball GT is caused in the same way that a regular Oozaru transformation in stimulated, but with a different form of radiation. The light of a full planet is required for this transformation, such as the earth as seen from the moon. A full planet gives off another form of brutz wave, which is collected in the saiyajin's tail as well. The concentration needed for such a transformation is almost triple that of a standard Oozaru. In this form, a saiyajin's capacity for ki energy is amplified 1500%, given their vastly increased size and strength. In this form, saiyajin do not tend to lose control, and in the case of an emotinal extreme, such as grief, sorrow, or anger, the chemical imbalances in the brain trigger a second shift in form, down to a heavily-muscled, furred body. The Super-Saiyajin. The legendary Super-Saiyajin, a being of untold powers. The saiyajin tell of the rise of a second Super-Saiyajin after a thousand years, but they were slightly mistaken. In this time, several super-saiyajin arose, within at least ten years of each other. The saiyajin genome must be riddled with aberrations to cause such terrific leaps in power. In the course of the show, There are seen 3 levels of Super-Saiyajin, an 'ascended' form according to the dub, (USSJ) and the "SSJ4" which is technically a misnomer, because the Super-saiyajin state is defined by Golden hair and Green eyes. The technicalities of the Super-saiyajin stage stipulate that for such a transformation to occur, a certain amount of ki energy must be present, and a severe level of certain brain chemicals must arise. The combination of these two factors create a sudden mutation in the saiyajin's body, vastly increasing his strength and energy capacity. (approximately 5000%.) With each successive Super-Saiyajin form, these factors must again be met. For the 'Ultra Super-Saiyajin' form, the anger level is significantly lower than that required to reach SSJ2. USSJ is defined by the immense increase in muscle mass, caused by the radical infusion of ki energy into the body. USSJ is very powerful, almost triple the strength of a normal SSJ. however, with the incredble mass of the saiyajin, and the sheer size of the muscles, the form is incredibly slow. The SSJ3 form is much different in both accessibility and appearance. The form is achieved through training only. Once certain conditions have been met (a powerlevel of a certain range, and a very specific body type) the transformation is automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 [color=indigo]Just a little thought... the Tsufuru-jin. Isn't that the same race as Bebi? I know if that's not it, it something similar. And the race on planet Plant (later called Planet Vegeta) Was not the same as Bebi's race, cause Bebi is a parasite. The dub calls the other race Tuffles, lol. Just a typing error, remember to capitalize Saiya-jin. It [i]is[/i] the name of the race. The moon is full on planet Plant every 8 years. [b]"I would think that the rise of Furiiza came about several centuries later, and I believe him and King Cold to be Arcosia-jin themselves, given their conrtol over the vast interstellar empire created by the saiyajin efforts."[/b] That whole portion I believe should be omitted. What a person [i]thinks[/i] shuld not be in an analysis, only what they [i]know[/i]. Oozaru means "giant ape", not monkey :). [b]"It is my belief that the genetic coding of the saiyajin is very different from any other humanoid race, and probably mutates given certain types of radiation.[/b] Another 'belief' statement. It could be more effectively changed to say, "Apparently, the genetic coding..." And it is not radiation that transforms the Saiya-jins. It is more a type of energy released by things such as the moon. [b]"A small organ in the tip of the Saiyajin's tail collects a type of radiation known as brutz waves, which travel along a nerve-path directly from the eyes - thus why saiyajin must stare at a source of moonlight."[/b] That's a no no. You don't [i]know[/i] that happens. Do not say things you don't know. Make each level of Super Saiya-jin a separate paragraph of analysis. It will be easier to follow. That's all I care to say for now. I didn't want to look too much into it, lol. You're friend has way too much time on his/her hands.. :p[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 i find the "essay" interesting but, for my taste its trying to be a bit too anilitical in comparison to the subject. i also think that the golden ape makes an appearance in dbz during the freeza saga when vegeta is thinking about the legend. it showed the ape being unable to control the power and destorying himself. other wise, .... not bad.

Guest Altron Gundam Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I think your friend has too much free time.. Good essay, but Bebi is Tsufuru... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakkarot ssj4 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 man what an essay... thats some great analogy.... how old is ur friend??..hes very smart... i think ur right bout the golden oozaru..i believe it did show up in one of vegeta's flashbacks..or discriptions...but u cant take it it was a golden oozaru...he didnt live that far back...

[/B][/QUOTE] The Golden Oozaruu does not make any appearance until GT. What we see when vegeta is thinking to himself, is a normal oozaru, with a spacey background, and the stars are golden. The oozaru itself is not Golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Me Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 As far as the Golden Oozuro in DBZ that was only a still frame shot and not an actual appearance. And thanks for the input people... Piromunkie, You cannot place an analysis of complete truth's from something fictional unless you personally speak with the creator about the entire subject and since that was not necessarily possible, he merely used what he would have thought would have been the best information.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SephirothNIN Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Bebi was SORT of a Tsufurijin. Dr. Myuu, who made him was a Tsufurujin....so....well I'm not sure what to call Bebi, android, bio-android? Whatever he's from the planet plant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough to give a decent analysis. You just have to do some accurate research or ask around to people who know a lot about the series and whatnot. DragonBall is not the vague of a series. Plenty of information can be given as fact without consulting the creator.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] If you would be calling him part android, and part Tsufurijin, then the proper term is Cyborg. Thats what 17 and 18 were. They were humans, but the Gero modified them a little, thus, creating a cyborg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakkarot ssj4 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 then how come they allways call them androids???.. i guess it sounds better...o well.. so noone knows what planet or race frieza was?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Me Posted June 2, 2002 Author Share Posted June 2, 2002 Freeza was an Acrosia-Jin I believe, otherwise known as an Ice-Jin and it's never stated in the race what planet they come from that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese word "jinzoningen" ( I think I spelled it right ) means "cyborg". And if you ever watch subs when the androids are around you will hear them call the androids 'jinzoningen juunanagou' (Cyborg #17), 'jinzoningen juuhachigou' (Cyborg #18), 'su-pa jinzoningen juunanagou' (Super Cyborg #17), just to name a few. Furiza's race was never stated, nor the planet he came from. It can only be assumed innaccurately.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 [B]That was one heck of an analysis, although I would tell your friend to listen to what Piromunkie said, as those are good corrections. Other than that, all I can say is that your friend has a lot of time on his hands....[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by PiroMunkie [/i] [B][color=indigo]The moon is full on planet Plant every 8 years. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] It's 8? I coulda sworn on my KaZaA Shared Folder that it was 7...:p [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by kakkarot ssj4 [/i] [B]i think ur right bout the golden oozaru..i believe it did show up in one of vegeta's flashbacks..or discriptions...but u cant take it it was a golden oozaru...he didnt live that far back... [/B][/QUOTE] We know the Oozaru was Golden... Because we saw it in Vegeta's re-telling of the legends. "...but the Warrior could only hold his Super Saiya-jin power as a transformed ape..." -Vegeta Something very closely along those lines. Meaning the Saiya-jin from the legend had to have been Golden because he could only hold the SSJ ability as an Oozaru. Simple as that... Dubbie fans somewhere along the line came up with "Changeling" as Furiza's race... But who truly knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
