46-->''"It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are ones who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being."''
47
48An incomplete android built by Dr. Gero. He was released prematurely by 17 and 18 and brought along to search for Goku. Unlike his companions, he is purely mechanical, not a cyborg. While very strong, he is more interested in nature than fighting, becoming an ally to the Z-Fighters after 17 and 18 are absorbed by Cell. Sadly he ends up being killed by Cell, though it's his death that sparks [[TookALevelinBadass Gohan's transformation into a Super Saiyan 2.]]
49----
50* ActionBomb: He was designed specifically for a suicide mission against Gero's most hated enemy, Goku. But as the mad doctor continued to model the killer android [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes after his late son]], he could no longer go through with it. He sealed up 16 in his pod indefinitely and gave him a gentle programming to avoid combat in the unlikely event he should ever be activated.
51* ADayInTheLimelight: ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'' expands upon his character and his backstory ''enormously''. It explains "who" he is, where he really comes from, and his relation to the rest of the Androids, and why he's completely synthetic when many of the other Androids are more like cyberized humans. [[spoiler:We even get to find out who the parents of the man he was based on are - no less than Dr. Gero himself and Android 21.]]
52* AffablyEvil: Aside from his programmed objective to kill Goku, #16 isn’t really evil. He adores nature and the planet Earth; even acting as #17 and #18’s moral compass to keep them on track for their mission. This is [[JustifiedTrope intentional]] as Dr. Gero programmed him with a gentle, pacifistic personality due to him, essentially being the robot duplicate of his dead son.
53* AIIsACrapshoot: Dr. Gero says he can't control him, fears he will be killed upon 16's activation and even warns the other androids that 16 could very well destroy the world on a whim, but otherwise averted with Android 16, who plainly stated that his goal was to kill Son Goku, as per his programming, and he tagged along with the other androids because he believed that they had the same goal as him. This also implies the later confirmed truth that 16 is the only one of the trio who is not fully sentient since Bulma had to remove Dr. Gero's programming from 16 when she repaired him — so that he wouldn't want to fight Goku anymore — while Android 18 did not get the same treatment. In fact, Android 18 seemed to have absolutely no interest in killing Goku whatsoever from the start, and Android 17 appeared to be hunting Goku out of his own free will, seeing it as some kind of "game." [[spoiler:Later subverted when it's revealed Dr. Gero based Android 16 off of his own son and implemented Android 16 with the same personality as his dead son. This could mean the whole thing was just a way for Gero to convince the other Androids not to activate 16 so harm doesn't come to him.]]
54* AmbiguousSituation: Would 16's bomb have killed Cell? Cell seems to flip between genuine fear of dying and complete confidence in his survival. Considering Cell later blows himself up and takes a planet with him and still comes back from that, it's hard to say.
55* AnalogyBackfire: After ripping Cell's tail off, he compares Cell to a bee that has lost its stinger. Cell points out that bees die once they lose their stingers, whereas ''he'' can just [[GoodThingYouCanHeal regenerate his tail]]…and proceeds to do so.
56* ArchEnemy: Quite clearly feels this way towards Goku. Even after his HeelFaceTurn. Since Cell has some of Goku's genetic material, 16 feels the same way toward him with greater justification.
57* ArmCannon: '''[[WaveMotionGun HELL'S FLASH]]!'''
58* AstroClone: [[spoiler:16 is a heroic robot modeled after an evil scientist's dead son]].
59* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Android 16 seems to have a knack for analyzing the power and abilities of others, immediately sensing both Piccolo's fusion with Kami and Vegeta's ascension. In a show where everyone constantly underestimates their opponents is PlayedForDrama, this sticks out.
60* BadassPacifist: He's very friendly and gentle to animals. However, he also surpasses 17 and 18 in power by a large margin and was the only one able to fight a 600,000 human-powered Cell to a standstill. [[spoiler:''[=FighterZ=]'' implies this is a trait inherited from the Gero the Younger.]]
61* BerserkButton: 16 considers all life precious, so seeing a creature like Cell who takes delight in killing is enough to make him take action.
62* BewareTheNiceOnes: As the overconfident Cell finds out the ''hard and painful'' way.
63* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Redhead to Android 17's Brunette and Android 18's Blonde.
64* TheBigGuy: Serves as this post-HeelFaceTurn before his death.
65* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: After Piccolo goes down, he becomes the only hope left in stopping Cell from becoming complete. He gives Cell one of his toughest fights and would have stopped Cell cold after ripping off his tail if he couldn't regenerate. Despite his valiant efforts, 17 is absorbed by Cell who easily beats him in his Semi-Perfect form.
66* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's one of the bigger characters in the series, is nearly emotionless, lives to kill Goku (at first), and is the strongest of all the Androids outside of Cell. One of the first signs that 16 is more than just a killing machine, however, is that he loves to play with animals. He goes against Cell because he is an enemy to all living things.
67* CessationOfExistence: Due to him being a fully robotic being, he has no soul to revive and never returns after Cell kills him.
68* CharacterExaggeration: His FriendToAllLivingThings trait is expanded in the anime, whereas in the manga it is more of an informed attribute. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools One of the best cases of this trope]], as it makes his death by the hand (or rather, foot) of Cell more powerful.
69* CynicismCatalyst: His brutal death at the hands of Cell was what triggers Gohan to go [=SSJ2=] and fly into an UnstoppableRage against Cell.
70* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[DeathIsCheap Unlike]] the others killed by Cell, for 16 it’s ambiguous whether he was or was not revived by the Dragon Balls. Regardless, 16 probably thought this would be the case. His death is arguably the most awesome in the series, as he sacrifices his existence to give Gohan the will to fight, and dies with a smile on his face. [[spoiler:Being wholly synthetic, though, it ''is'' possible to outright rebuild him if you know how, but even with the memories of the original he is not the same 16. Android 21 builds a new 16 in ''[=FighterZ=]''. The monologue of the second 16 shows that he believes the original 16 is gone forever.]]
71* EvilCounterpart: To Android 8, initially. They both love nature and despise those who disregard life. The only real difference between the two is that Android 8 became friends with Goku, while 16 just barely tolerates his existence. Justified since 16 was specifically programmed to kill Goku.
72* {{Expy}}: To Android 8 from earlier in the series. Both androids are fully mechanical creations that are incredibly strong but considered failures due to their well-meaning, caring personalities. 16 is even a multiple of 8.
73* EvilRedhead: What 16 was meant to be. [[spoiler:Sort of. Gero made him a GentleGiant, aside from the "kill Goku" thing.]]
74* ForgottenFallenFriend: His HeroicSacrifice catalyzed Gohan turning Super Saiyan 2, and Android 16 is never mentioned again after the Cell Saga. Since he didn't fall into the "lives killed by Cell" category that #17 technically did, he seemingly didn't get to come back to life. Some of the games do remember him, ''most'' notably ''[=FighterZ=]'', but he still hasn't been memorialized in the TV series.
75* FriendToAllLivingThings: As Creator/TeamFourStar frequently jokes, he likes the birds. It's also why he steps in to fight and kill Imperfect Cell after Piccolo is beaten, [[NeutralNoLonger after several chapters of refusing to fight anyone but Goku]]: to protect all life from the threat Cell poses.
76* GameBreakingInjury: Once Semi-Perfect Cell makes a hole in his head, 16's power decreases immensely, struggling to move quickly without assistance or strain, while it doesn't mean much due to the power differences by that point, it does ultimately cause him and 18 to slow down enough to the point Cell can catch up even after Tien's prolonged assault on him.
77* GentleGiant: Despite his programming to hunt and kill Goku, 16 is a gentle, caring individual that loves nature and treats others with kindness. This is because Gero [[spoiler:intended him to be a ReplacementGoldfish for his deceased son]], and knew that [[BloodKnight making him love to fight]] would put him in harm's way. That said, like all infinite energy furnace models, 16 was beyond Gero's control and he feared that 16 would try to kill him if activated.
78* HeroicRROD: Subverted. Although he fully intended to self-destruct and take Cell with him, he ended up unable to go through with it because Bulma removed his self-destruct device out of fear that he'd use it against Goku when she discovered it while repairing 16.
79* HeroicSacrifice: He could have theoretically survived and been rebuilt, but he convinces Satan to throw his head at Gohan help him find the willpower to fight Cell instead of holding back. This results in Cell finally having enough of his predecessor and crushing him beneath is foot.
80* InformedAttribute: This may shock you, but Android 16's love for the birds and animals is never shown in the manga, only stated. The ''Z'' anime expands on this by always showing him with a bird alongside him (or many).
81* ItHasBeenAnHonor:
82** While marching off from Android 18 to fight Cell (the first time), he tells her he enjoyed the time he spent with her and 17 and thinks they're cool.
83** In the Japanese version and the manga, he commends them for not harming people or animals pointlessly.
84* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: He tells 18 to leave him behind during Cell's pursuit of her on the basis he's only going hinder things in his current state, which is true, as she had been lugging him around ever since he was injured. Unfortunately, she refuses to until it's far too late to escape anymore, and is promptly absorbed.
85* JerkassToOne: While a NonMaliciousMonster and NiceGuy both before and after his HeelFaceTurn, he remains cold and distant toward Goku, having been created specifically to kill him. During the Cell Games, when Goku approaches him and wishes him luck, 16 responds to his kindness with an ImpliedDeathThreat, reminding him of his intended purpose.
86-->'''Android 16''': I was created for the sole purpose of killing you, Goku. ''Do '''not''' forget that''.
87* KilledOffForReal: 16's death is all the more jarring because it seemingly sticks in a series where DeathIsCheap. [[SeriesContinuityError At the same time, however]], it creates a PlotHole, as in the Majin Buu saga, Android 8 (and Arale, [[GagSeries possibly]]) are revived just fine by the Dragon Balls. [[spoiler:Depending on the canonicity of ''[=FighterZ=]'', the game implies that even if a new 16 was built and given the memories of the original, he still lacks the soul of the old 16. Assuming that 16 wasn’t revived by the Dragon Balls, [[TearJerker then the original is really gone forever]].]]
88* LickedByTheDog: While he's being repaired, Dr. Briefs' cat climbs onto his hand and licks his injured head, solidifying his role as a FriendToAllLivingThings.
89* LogicalWeakness: 16's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. His fully mechanical nature gives him an edge against (Imperfect) Cell that no other member of the cast has since Cell cannot [[CuttingTheKnot just absorb him for an easy win]]. Unfortunately, once Cell evolves into a higher form, 16 can no longer match him in combat, and since he's a robot, [[CantCatchUp he can't train or inspire himself to grow stronger like the rest of the cast]] - he would need to be ''remodeled'', and with [[spoiler:Gero out of the picture and 21 inactive at the time]], there's nobody to do it and even if there was, time would not be on their side.
90** The other issue is that he has no biological parts, meaning that he can't use ki attacks. In addition, you can't put energy cannons in his hands, since, you know, they have to act like human hands. The only way he can use ki blasts is to remove his arms and fire them like that. Plus, while he is seen using his arms in a rocket punch, the arms don't seem to have an auto-homing mechanism so he has to physically grab them and stick them back on. This means that while his ki blast is incredibly powerful, coming from his infinite energy generator, he hardly ever uses it because he could literally lose his hands if he gets countered and drops them.
91* MartialPacifist: He only wants to kill Goku because Dr. Gero programmed him to do that. When asked, he outright ''refuses'' to fight anyone else, and considers all life to be precious. He makes an exception and decides to kill Cell because he knows that Cell cannot be reasoned with and will destroy all life on Earth just because he can.
92* MonsterProgenitor: An unwilling example in ''Videogame/DragonBallOnline''. Android 16 has been copied by Red Pants Army, who went on to mass-produce him. To put it in perspective, the average Time Patrol member only has a power level of 100,000. It's one of the main reasons the main setting counts as a BadPresent.
93* NatureLovingRobot: The only of 3 Androids that result to be a complete robot and not part-human as 17 and 18. Despite his primary mission (find and kill Goku), he's a GentleGiant who has a love for animals, usually seen with birds around him and holding one in his hands.
94* NeutralNoLonger: He starts as a GentleGiant who refuses to fight anybody except Goku ([[NonMaliciousMonster because of his programming]]) and instead prefers to interact with the wildlife. When he realizes how evil Cell is and the threat he poses to the entire world, he spurs into action and, as an inspiration to {{Badass Pacifist}}s everywhere, gives Cell the toughest fight he had encountered so far, coming close to killing him outright.
95* NiceGuy: [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth Too Nice]], although AffablyEvil, as he warns Goku to never forget that he was programmed to kill him. GoodIsNotNice also applies, in that if he thinks you're pointlessly evil, he will try to kill you without a warning.
96* NonMaliciousMonster: He's a NatureLover and considers all life to be precious. The only reason he wants to kill Goku is that Dr. Gero programmed him to do so.
97* PoorCommunicationKills: If 16 had at any point told Bulma that he would use the failsafe plan of using his own bomb on Cell instead of Goku, it's more than likely Bulma either would have reinstalled the explosive or at least informed him of its removal. Unfortunately, this not being addressed by either ends up with 16 being destroyed.
98* PunchClockVillain: Urge to kill Goku aside, 16 has no villainous traits to speak of. He never fights any of the heroes even when they're ganging up on his friends (then again, they don't need his help), and turns against Cell despite being a fellow creation of Dr. Gero.
99* RedheadInGreen: He has a red mohawk and wears a green vest, boots, and bracers.
100* ReplacementGoldfish: Like Manga/AstroBoy, 16 was [[spoiler:based on Dr. Gero's deceased son]], and his gentle personality is a result of Gero not wanting him to be destroyed in battle if at all possible. It might also be, like the original Anime/AstroBoy, why Gero ultimately deemed him a failure and never activated him: a copy wasn't enough to bring back his son.
101** Depending on if Fighterz is canon, [[spoiler:he was also intended to be this for Android 21. Unfortunately, he died and 21 built a ReplacementGoldfish ''for Android 16'', but she knows he will never be either her human son or the original 16 but loves him as her child anyway.]]
102* RoboSpeak: In the original US Dub only, though even there he falls out of it as he learns and grows.
103* RocketPunch: One of his powers, being fully mechanical.
104* TheQuietOne: He rarely speaks for most of his appearances, unless he has something of substance to say.
105* SacrificialLion: His final words and death are what triggered Gohan to become a Super Saiyan 2.
106* TheStoic: He rarely shows any emotion, at least at first.
107* SuicideAttack: His mission is to destroy Goku. Not willing to take any chances, Gero built in a bomb to make sure 16's mission would be successful, regardless of how strong Goku was. He ultimately tries to use it against Cell, only to find out Bulma removed it beforehand, just in case.
108* SuperPrototype: He's an earlier model than #17 and #18 (and #19 & #20/Dr. Gero, for that matter) and seems to be around the same series as both of the former two, but is significantly more powerful than all of them. Indeed, outside of Cell (whose full power could only be achieved by absorbing people, and ultimately #17 and #18), #16 is the strongest android that Dr. Gero had ever created. [[spoiler:His "mother" might be able to outdo him, but she's a [[{{Magitek}} much]] [[EldritchAbomination weirder]] [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity example]].]]
109* TakingYouWithMe: Subverted. 16 carried a self-destruct device with a magnitude higher than a nuclear bomb that was presumably implanted by Gero in an attempt to kill Goku. 16 ultimately attempts to use this on Cell, but he ended up unable to go through with it because Bulma removed the device when doing repair work on 16.
110** This gets even worse because Cell states that the bomb would probably have been incapable of killing him anyway. Considering [[EarthShatteringKaboom what Cell survives later]] (while in his far less durable second form to boot), it would appear he was correct though Cell arrogantly considers himself an InvincibleVillain that can NoSell any attack the Z-Fighters throw at him.
111** However it's worth noting Android 17, 18, and Cell, do not share the [[ActionBomb same explosive mechanism]] as 16 does, and Cell's very own planet-destroying bomb is set up in such a manner so as to preserve ''one singular cell'' (from which he can regenerate obviously). 16 was designed for a '''''singular target''''' suicide mission, to atomize anyone caught within close proximity of the blast. Since never given the opportunity to use it, we'll never know how effective it would've been.
112* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Before he starts working with Goku to kill Cell, he brushes off Goku's offer of friendship and gives him a DeathGlare and an ImpliedDeathThreat. Justified, because Dr. Gero programmed him to kill Goku.
113* TerminatorImpersonator: A stoic, square-jawed, towering killer robot who develops respect for life and ends up sacrificing himself to protect it.
114* TokenGoodTeammate: Unlike 17 and 18, who enjoyed causing chaos and mischief, 16 doesn't actually do anything evil. He's programmed to kill Goku, but even that he's more than willing to throw aside for the sake of stopping Cell.
115* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: If he didn't have a soul when Gero built him, he would most likely have earned one by the time Cell brutally murdered him.
116* TragicHero: He was built for killing, but he treasures life and would have likely had no ill will towards Goku if it wasn't part of his programming. He manages to override his mission parameters to fight against his own kind, only to find out too late that he's unable to kill him and is destroyed for his efforts. Being a machine, he doesn't get to go to the afterlife, resurrect or reincarnate.
117* TrueCompanions: Despite their time with him being relatively short, 17 and 18 get this with 16, spending their time together getting along and the three are often portrayed as watching out for one another. [[spoiler:The second 16 gets this again in ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'', but is killed in the halfway mark of the story.]]
118* WaveMotionGun: His Hell's Flash attack, in which he has to detach his forearms to charge up and fire.
119* TheWorfEffect: He gets hit with this once Cell becomes Semi-Perfect. He was Cell's equal beforehand, able to hold his own even after Cell had absorbed 600,000 humans and effortlessly beat down Piccolo. The first sign of how much stronger Cell has become? He easily outruns 16 and blasts a hole in his head, almost killing him.
120* WorldsStrongestMan: Although nobody knows it almost until this trope no longer applies, from the time he wakes up to when Android 17 is absorbed, 16 is the strongest individual on Earth.

135* ActionSurvivor: Along with Piiza, he's the only non-combatant who was present in the Cell Games. This was when he thought it would be akin to a normal tournament. Then things get insane, and for his part, he does make it out in one piece without needing to be revived by the Dragon Balls.
136* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He never appeared again after the Cell Saga.
137* CombatCommentator: The only announcer at the Cell Games, mainly due to everyone else fearing for their safety.
138* {{Jerkass}}: Very dismissive of the Z-Fighters, amongst all Goku, who he thought would get himself killed by Cell.
139* LargeHamAnnouncer: Goes along with the territory when you're hyping up the Champ.
140* NamedByTheAdaptation: Jimmy Firecracker was something Funimation came up with. Most sources (and the original Japanese) only call him the "Cell Games Announcer" or "ZTV Announcer". His cameraman was also given the name "Lionel" (or [[InconsistentDub "Nigel"]] in one episode) but was likewise never named in Japanese.
141* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While their actual jobs are different, for the purposes of the Cell Games, Jimmy is replacing the World Tournament Announcer. They even have the same voice actor in both ''Kai'' and the Latin American Spanish dub.

155Two friends of Videl at Orange Star High School.
156----
157* AdaptationalJerkass: Sharpner in the anime. He's far more antagonistic toward Gohan in the anime, although it's probably because he has more screen time than in the manga. In the manga, while he is a bit of a jerk toward Gohan initially, he actually seems pretty impressed by his strength. In the anime, however, he comes across as insincere and it felt like he just wants to humiliate Gohan (and later {{filler}} episodes confirmed it).
158-->'''Sharpner:''' HeyYou What sport are you taking?\
159'''Gohan:''' Um... I hadn't thought about...\
160'''Sharpner:''' Then go out for boxing! You're tougher than I thought! You'd do great!
161* AdvertisedExtra: They are among the main group in ''Z'''s second Japanese opening despite having very little screen time in the actual show.
162* AmazonChaser: Sharpner for Videl. He doesn't catch her, though.
163* BeautyIsBad: Sharpner.
164* TheCameo: During the fight with Kid Buu, they both make a brief appearance back at Orange Star High contributing energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb after Mr. Satan demands that the Earthlings "help him" in defeating Majin Buu.
165* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They never appeared after the Majin Buu saga, although considering they were students at the time, it is easy to guess they simply graduated and went their own ways. In the manga, they never show up again after Gohan gets assailed by Yamu and Spopovich, but the anime gives them a cameo giving energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb after Mr. Satan asks the Earthlings for help. They also appear briefly near the start of ''Wrath of the Dragon'', being their only movie appearance.
166* EveryoneCanSeeIt: In the English dub, they have both lightly teased Videl about a perceived relationship with Gohan. Possibly a case of DependingOnTheWriter in Sharper's case.
167* EveryoneHasStandards: JerkJock he may be, but Sharpner along with everyone else was appalled by Spopovich's brutal beating of Videl during their match.
168* GreenEyedMonster: Sharpner to Gohan.
169* HopelessSuitor:
170** Sharpner towards Videl. She finds him obnoxious.
171** Erasa towards Gohan. She obviously has a crush on him, spending most of their shared screentime hitting on him, but since Gohan is ObliviousToLove...
172* JerkJock: Sharpner.
173* MrFanservice: Sharpner is tall, muscular, and quite good-looking. His regular outfit looks like gym clothes that show off his physique a lot.
174* MsFanservice: Erasa is this with her massive cleavage. Erasa has even bigger cleavage in the World Tournament Arc and also shows her navel.
175* NerdsAreSexy: Erasa certainly thinks so. While Sharpner quickly dismisses Gohan as a nerd, Erasa spends most of her debut episode flirting with him.
176* PunnyNames: '''Sharpner''' (sharpener) and '''Erasa''' (eraser). Get it?
177* {{Satellite Character}}s: They only exist to be Videl's friends and that's it.
178* ShipperOnDeck: Despite her own crush on him, Erasa occasionally playfully teases Videl about her apparent relationship with Gohan. Note: this is all before Gohan and Videl do become a couple and presumably before any romantic feelings even began to emerge on either of their parts.
179* SmallNameBigEgo: Sharpner.
180* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Erasa is the GirlyGirl to Videl's Tomboy.
181* TookALevelInKindness: Even with being an AdaptationalJerkass in the anime, Sharpner joins Erasa in cheering Gohan on when they figure out, from his hair, that he's the Great Saiyaman.
182* WeirdnessCensor: Despite seeing Gohan's Super Saiyan transformation plus he and Videl flying off from the tournament grounds, both Sharpner and Erasa write it off as a trick due to Mr. Satan's misleading and seemingly make no more fuss over it. ''Wrath of the Dragon'', however, shows that they still know that Gohan is the Great Saiyaman despite his flimsy excuses to get out of class.

196
197Goten's girlfriend in ''Anime/DragonBallGT''. As naive and spacey as she can be, she is a good person and has true feelings for Goten.
198----
199* BrainlessBeauty / TheDitz: A downplayed example. While she's not a total idiot, the fact that she didn't exactly know how to eat from an ice cream cone or even eat a hamburger says something...
200* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her brain doesn't appear all the way there, not knowing what ice cream and hamburgers are and using utensils to try and eat them (said ice cream was in a cone).
201* {{Expy}}: Attitude-wise, she's basically Krillin's ex-girlfriend Maron, but with slightly more of a brain.
202* FantasticallyIndifferent: She doesn't even bat an eye to Goten's ability to fly, his fighting prowess, or the fact that he can turn his hair gold. As a matter of fact, she even likens Goten to an angel.
203* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Interestingly, she's one of the series' more notable aversions to this trope. Normally, she's seen to be about as tall as her boyfriend Goten ([[DependingOnTheArtist if not an inch taller than him on some occasions]]).
204* KindheartedSimpleton: She may be a bit of a ditz, but she's very sweet and polite all the same.
205* LongHairIsFeminine: Has long brown hair that flows over her shoulders.
206* MeaningfulName: Her name might be a reference to her rich upbringing.
207* NiceGirl: Not all that bright, but she's amicable and supportive of Goten even while he's battling evil.
208* OnlyOneName: Like most of the characters in the series.
209* SatelliteLoveInterest: All things considered, Valese doesn't exactly have too much in the way of personality considering how she's usually only seen when Goten is around.
210* ThemeNaming: Valese's Japanese name, "Palace", is a pun on "goten" (御殿), a Japanese word for palace that is a homonym on her boyfriend's name.
211* UndyingLoyalty: Demonstrated with her cheering Goten on after he smacks down Pui Pui when the latter escapes from Hell.
212* UptownGirl: According to a one-off line from Goten in the Japanese version of ''GT'', Valese is implied to be this.

217!!King Yemma (閻魔大王; Enma Daiō, lit. "Great King Enma")
218[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_yemma.png]]
219->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/DaisukeGori (''Z'', ''GT'', ''Kai'' ep. 4-11), Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo (''Kai: The Final Chapters'')\
220'''Voiced by (English):''' Ward Perry (''Z'' Season 1), Dale Wilson (''Z'' Season 5), Michael Dobson (''Z'' Season 6) (Ocean dub); Chris Rager (Most media), Creator/DameonClarke (''Z'' ep. 195) (Creator/{{Funimation}} dub); Tommy James (Blue Water dub)\
221'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Abel Rocha, Eduardo Fonseca (''Kai: The Final Chapters'')
222
223A towering ogre who acts as the judge for all souls passing to the Other World. Yemma sits at an appropriately enormous desk in his palace's office from which he files paperwork as he determines whether to send each dead person's soul to Heaven or Hell.
224------
225* BadassBoast: Yemma proudly claims to have beaten Raditz into submission when the Saiyan warrior arrived to be judged upon his death. While only a mid-ranked warrior, Raditz was by far the strongest opponent Goku had faced at that point. Impressed, Goku is almost tempted to let Yemma train him rather than King Kai. Though considering that Raditz probably wasn't allowed to keep his body after death (Goku was a rare exception thanks to his heroic feats on Earth and his connection to Kami), [[BadassOnPaper this boast may not be as impressive in practice.]]
226* BigRedDevil: Has the overall appearance of one (although he is more inspired by oni from Japanese mythology, crossed with the Hindu-Buddhist god of death, Yama) befitting his role as a psychopomp of sorts, but he is actually an amiable fellow.
227* ChekhovsGunman: He strategically decides to keep Vegeta waiting in the Check-In Station with an in-tact body rather than immediately sending him to Hell since he figures that Vegeta can still be sent back to Earth as a backup in case Gohan and the others fail against Majin Buu. This decision single-handedly saves the cosmos, as Goku desperately needed another Saiyan to fuse with.
228** Similarly, Uub owes his entire existence to Yemma. Yemma listened to Goku's wish for Buu to be reincarnated as a good guy. [[spoiler:And like Vegeta, Uub later plays a vital role in saving the galaxy from a spacefaring monster (against Baby in ''GT'' or against Moro in ''Super'').]]
229* GodJob: Similar to Kami, his role is treated more like a mundane vocation that he just so happened to have been appointed to rather than a divine burden and in ''Super'' he implies that there are many other "Check-In Station" judges who preside over different quadrants of the galaxies, much like the Kais. Although with Yemma it is particularly exaggerated, what with his {{Salaryman}} appearance, office-styled abode, and the fact that he transports souls by literally stamping papers.
230* JudgementOfTheDead: King Yemma's duty is to decide where newly arriving souls go once they die, stamping their paperwork and sending them off to either Heaven or Hell.
231* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Shortly prior to Goku's arrival in the Check-In Station, Yemma claims to have kicked Raditz's ass when the Saiyan started acting up.
232* PalsWithJesus: As with many other powerful beings beyond the mortal plane, Goku is on casual speaking terms with him.
233* PublicDomainCharacter: Of all the deities in the Dragon Ball franchise, Yemma is the only one Akira Toriyama didn't create himself. He is adapted from the Buddhist judge of the dead in Hell and the Underworld.
234* RiddleForTheAges: How he is able to ensure that more powerful villains who die on his watch end up being sentenced properly without making a scene like Raditz purportedly did? We only see him sentencing Cell to Hell via a portal of some kind in the Otherworld Tournament filler arc with no elaboration on how else he was able to keep the monster in line. Later still, in ''GT's'' Super 17 Saga when all the villains are killed and sent back to Hell, at worst, Yemma seems to be more annoyed than anything else at all the paperwork he has to cover.
235** Much of this is confused and obfuscated by anime-only filler. In the original story, it's established that only exceptional heroes like Goku are allowed to keep their bodies after death. The various dead villains likely do not arrive at Yemma's in physical bodies, but rather as faceless soul whisps like the many others waiting in line.
236* SoLastSeason: Him overpowering Raditz in the afterlife, who at the time was known for manhandling Goku and Piccolo (the strongest two men on Earth), quickly becomes this when King Kai later reveals that Raditz's partners are even stronger than him. Goku quickly surpasses King Kai during the course of their training together which diminishes Yemma's feat even more.
237* {{Troll}}: Besides literally being one, he isn't above jokes and jibes despite his lofty position, as seen when he teasingly threatens to send Kami to Hell for speaking out of turn.
238* WrestlerInAllOfUs: It's not seen, but Fortuneteller Baba alludes to him breaking out "the Yemma Lock" on rebellious souls.
239* YourSizeMayVary: He is an absolute giant, but his sole appearance in ''Super'' made him quite small compared with his previous appearances.

242[[folder:Kibito]]
243!!'''Kibito (キビト)'''
244[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kibito_artwork.png]]
245->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Shin Aomori\
246'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/ChuckHuber (Creator/FUNimation dub); Don Brown (Ocean dub)\
247'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' José Luis Castañeda, Humberto Solórzano (''Kai The Final Chapters'' and ''Super'')
248
249The servant and aid of the four Supreme Kais. After most of them were killed by Majin Buu, Kibito became the Eastern Supreme Kai's personal bodyguard. He goes to Earth with the Supreme Kai to help stop Babadi from reviving Majin Buu and ends up permanently fusing with him in the process, until they use the Dragon Balls to separate in ''Super''.
250----
251* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has reddish skin. In the coloured manga chapters, his skin is instead a deep blue.
252* AscendedExtra: He was DemotedToExtra in the ''Super'' anime, but he appeared prominently in the manga version of the Future Trunks arc. He spars with Zamasu in his introduction and serves a vital role in informing Beerus and the Z-Warriors about Zamasu's suspicious attitude towards [[TheOmniscient Zuno.]] He also served as a sort of ComicRelief due to Beerus accusing him of being Goku Black because Shin referenced Kibito's famous prejudice against mortals. He disappears in the manga after that but appears during the exhibition matches of the Universal Survival Arc in the anime.
253* BattleButler: Is this for the Supreme Kai before fusing with him. Though until the ''Super'' manga, he doesn't get much of a chance to show his mettle on the battlefield.
254* BodyguardingABadass: Not that the Kai was a slouch in the fighting department. In fact, the Supreme Kai is stronger than him.
255* TheBusCameBack: In a sense. After being permanently fused with his master partway in the Buu saga in ''Z'' and being released prior to the Universe 7 vs. Universe 6 tournament, they separated using the Namekian Dragon Balls. Then he became DemotedToExtra.
256* TheBigGuy: Served as one briefly, [[BigGuyFatalitySyndrome but Dabura kills him instantly when he spots him.]]
257* DeathIsCheap: One of the more egregious examples in the franchise. He's unceremoniously murdered in [[OneHitKill one shot by Dabura]] before the heroes even enter Babidi's spaceship, only to be revived by the Dragon Balls a few chapters/episodes later.
258* DemotedToExtra: Since his return as an individual character, he hasn't been seen much, compared with both Supreme Kais. The manga version of the Future Trunks saga treated him a little better, only to disappear in the next saga, while he goes along Universe 7 to the exhibition matches in the anime, only to remain on the World of the Kai.
259* FaceOfAThug: He looks pretty haggard and scary, but he is firmly on the side of good. However, Kibito's "suspicious face" causes Beerus to suspect him of being the true identity of ''[[OmnicidalManiac Goku Black]]''.
260* HealingHands: Uses them to heal Gohan and Supreme Kai who were close to death after fighting Buu. The ''[[Anime/DragonBallSuper Super]]'' manga reveals this is an ability all Supreme Kai disciples and attendants share.
261* InformedAttribute: Gohan comments that he'd be a difficult fight without Super Saiyan (hence why he transforms), and [[AllThereInTheManual Daizenshuu 7]] states that his power level is close to that of Gohan's base form. We never do see him fight; probably because even that normally impressive level is [[SoLastSeason totally irrelevant]] by the point he appears, and any being who ''does'' have reason to fight him (e.g. Dabra in the Buu arc, Zamasu in the ''Super'' manga) can obliterate him with ease.
262* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kibito gives Gohan quite a hard time and underestimates the boy at every turn. He's vocally uncomfortable with the idea of even allowing Gohan to walk upon the Sacred Land of the Kais, in spite of the severity of the circumstances with Majin Buu. However, over the course of the Buu arc, Kibito warms up to Gohan and begrudgingly comes to respect his superior talent. After teleporting him back to Earth, Kibito gifts Gohan with a copy of his father's orange gi for luck in his upcoming fight against Buu.
263* NobleBigot: Kibito is quite prejudiced and condescending towards mortals, believing that no mortal should even set foot on the Kaioshin Realm. He underestimates the potential of Saiyans, scoffing at the notion of Gohan being able to lift the Z-Sword when hundreds of generations of Shin-jin had failed to do so. He is promptly forced to eat his words.
264** His mild racism becomes a surprisingly major plot point in the manga. When Goku, Beerus and Whis question if Shin has encountered any gods with "extremist ideologies" lately, rather than thinking of Zamasu, Kibito is the first that springs to Shin's mind (Shin had no idea about the Goku Black situation). Humorously, Beerus immediately hones in on Kibito as the prime suspect of Goku Black's true identity.
265* OvershadowedByAwesome: He's a PhysicalGod, being the Supreme Kai's attendant. That said, even in his rusty state, Gohan far outclasses him. Lampshaded by their respective attempts at wielding the Z-Sword; Gohan had difficulty initially, but Kibito couldn't even lift it off the ground.
266* PutOnABus: In a sense. He unwittingly helps demonstrate the fusion ability of the potara not realizing the fusion would be permanent. Shin's personality is completely dominant in the new Kibito Kai making Kibito functionally cease to exist as an individual.
267* TheStoic: He rarely changes his expression, outside of shock and surprise. Once Old Kai appears, he shares a comical duo with the Supreme Kai until they both merge.
268* {{Teleportation}}: He can perform Kai Kai, which allows him to teleport to any world in the lower realm and even different universes. Unlike Goku's Instant Transmission, Kibito's teleportation has no limits. Initially, only he demonstrated this ability, before it seemingly rubbed off on Shin after their fusion.

278
279King Kai's pet monkey.
280----
281* TheCameo: Bubbles makes one final appearance in the original manga when King Kai contacts Vegeta during the Kid Buu fight and allows him to speak to the populace of Earth to get them to give their energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb. The anime version excludes him as he and Gregory were left behind earlier with King Yemma after Goku and King Kai departed for the Grand Kai's World.
282* FetchQuest: One of King Kai's conditions for training someone is that they have to be able to catch Bubbles. Considering that King Kai's planet has much stronger gravity than Earth, this task is harder than it would seem.
283* MistakenIdentity: Goku mistakes him for King Kai when they first meet.
284* PointyEars: Is a monkey with pointed ears, like the Saiyan Great Ape form.
285* PutOnABus: In the Other World Tournament filler, he and Gregory are left behind at the Check-In Station when Goku and King Kai depart for the Grand Kai's planet and that is the last we see of them until ''GT''. Bubbles' cameo when King Kai allows Vegeta to speak to the Earth's people during the final fight with Kid Buu is thus excised from the anime adaptation.
286* {{Shapeshifting}}: In ''Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden'', Bubbles has the ability to transform into children characters like Gohan and Goten.
287* StrongerThanTheyLook: Looks like an ordinary primate but he is accustomed to King Kai's planet's higher gravity, being able to run and leap about with ease. When Goku first arrived on the planet, he could barely walk. This means that Bubbles was actually stronger than Goku when they first met in the early Saiyan Saga, [[AllThereInTheManual as confirmed by at least one guidebook.]]
288* {{Tuckerization}}: Bubbles' name is most likely a reference to [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael Jackson's]] pet chimp which had the same name.

301A walking RobotBuddy who, after eating the Dragon Radar, became a walking radar itself. Giru is an exclusive character from ''GT''.
302------
303* BadassAdorable: Despite being a little robot sidekick who never gets involved in the fights, he managed to single-handedly take down a giant antlion monster when this one was attacking an exhausted Pan. In ''VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes'', he's even a fighter character.
304* ButtMonkey: He frequently receives verbal and physical abuse from Pan.
305* CatchPhrase: Giru has a tendency for this. ''"Danger! Danger! Pan! Danger!"''
306%%* CuteMachines: See BadassAdorable.
307* DeathIsCheap: Giru has been killed three times during ''GT'', but comes back without a problem thanks to being a robot.
308* DubNameChange: SpellMyNameWithAnS aside, the German localization changed his serial number from [=DB4649T2006RS=] to [=DD4649T22006RS=], changing the B to another D and adding another 2 in-between.
309* FakeDefector: After arriving on Planet M2, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Giru was working for General Rilldo and the rest of the bad guys all along. Except it turns out he wasn't and that he was working for the good guys, by deceiving Rilldo and the Machine Mutants.]]
310* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Giru is the first Machine Mutant who manages to defy his programming and rebels against his creator.
311* TheLittleDetecto: He ate the Dragon Radar, so only he can track the Black Star Dragon Balls.
312* MechanicalLifeform: Giru is classed as a Machine Mutant, a species of artificially created mechanical beings, but are all considered alive and with a lifeforce.
313* MetalMuncher: He can eat anything made of metal, and he ends up having to tag along with the heroes after consuming the Dragon Radar.
314* OverlyLongName: His serial number is [=DB4649T2006RS=]. The inhabitants of Planet M2 all call him by that serial number.
315* PowerCopying: In a sense, he can integrate devices into himself and copy their functions, as shown with the Dragon Radar.
316* PunnyName: His name seems to be a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "gear." As in, those things machines have, get it?
317* RedAlert: He often gives off warnings whenever he detects danger.
318* RobotBuddy: A small robot who became best friends with Pan.
319* ShooOutTheClowns: Giru has a tendency to become incapacitated whenever the BigBad of the saga rears its ugly head.
320* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Giru, Gill, Gil. Several dubs use either of those spellings.
321* UndyingLoyalty: To Pan. The fact he could counter-attack her (as evidenced by his fight with the giant desert monster), but chooses to tolerate her abuse of him says a lot.
322* VerbalTicName: Giru, who has a tendency to say "''Giru Giru Giru!''". He initially introduces himself as T2006, which prompts Goku and co. to rename him after his verbal tic simply because it's easier.

330Mr. Satan and Fat Buu's pet dog.
331----
332* CanineCompanion: Mr. Satan's loyal but friendly dog. He is also Fat Buu's pet dog and second best friend.
333* EvilDetectingDog: As Super Buu is about to absorb Piccolo and Gotenks, Bee is quick to detect the disturbance and starts yelping. [[FailedASpotCheck If only Piccolo had been paying attention with those ears of his.]]
334* MoralityPet: To Fat Buu. Like Mr. Satan, Bee helps Fat Buu see what is right and wrong and brings out his inner goodness. Satan himself is shown patting the pup's head in a few filler segments after Super Buu wipes out most of humanity, subtly showcasing how the otherwise vain and pompous world champ has his softer side.
335* ThemeNaming: Following the pattern of Mr. Satan's family, Bee likely gets his name from the Hell prince of gluttony himself Main/{{Beelzebub}}. Makes sense when you consider Buu's appetite.
336%%* UndyingLoyalty: To Mr. Satan and Fat Buu.
337* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He only makes a cameo in a photograph during ''GT'' and is otherwise nowhere to be found, though it could be he simply passed from old age.
