DRAGN BALL Z

Beginner's Quiz Wrap-up

So you've completed the Beginner's Quiz. Now we will go over the stories behind Questions 6-10 of the Beginner's quiz, and then we'll see how well you did. And now, a brief run-down of each question and it's story.

Question 6- You were asked about who Gohan trained under during the invasion of Earth by Saiyan forces under the command of the sinister planet broker Frieza. Master Roshi was indeed a trainer, but it was Piccolo who took it upon himself to ready little Gohan for the battle ahead. In the process, the Evil Piccolo actually began to transform into a more balanced being, which sealed the fate of Kami, Piccolo's original half. Once the pure evil in Piccolo started to dilute then there was no place for the pure good in Kami, who soon died. It was through Piccolo that Gohan learned to survive the harshest of conditions. Yoshirubi actually had little to do with physical exertion, let alone Gohan's training. Tien also taught his friend certain techniques, such as the Solar Flare, but wasn't committed to training Gohan.

Question 7- You were asked how many Dragonballs were required to summon the Eternal Dragon. The Dragonballs were created by the people of Namek as a symbol of power and wisdom, but seen by others as a way of fulfilling their selfish desires. Kami was sent to Earth during a time where Namek was in great peril to create the Dragonballs. Dragonballs come in various sizes, the bigger the sphere, the more powerful the wish. The Dragonballs were sought for a number of reasons: Immortality, infinite power, or the resurrection of a fallen comrade. But for any of these things, 7 balls were required, no matter how big one was.

Question 8- You were given a list from which you chose which was Frieza's summoned aide during the Namek invasion. Dodoria and Zarbon were 2 of Frieza's most trusted lieutenants, but when they fell to the vengeance of a rebellious Vegeta, Frieza knew that only the Ginyu Force could be counted on. Nappa had accompanied Vegeta in the invasion of Earth, but when Nappa had been defeated by the newly-resurrected Goku, Vegeta killed him for failing to defeat the Earth Saiyan. Zarbon was sent by Frieza to prevent Vegeta from finding the Dragonballs from Namek, but while Zarbon beat Vegeta the first time, his power had grown from the attack to the point he easily killed the green goon Zarbon.

Question 9- You were to identify the Saiyan who killed Frieza. Vegeta had been defeated before Goku's bout with the freakish fiend. After Frieza unleashed a vicious attack upon Krillin Goku became so enraged at his friends fall that he exploded into a Super Saiyan, and gave Frieza a sound pummeling. But when Frieza transformed into a more powerful version of himself, out of the sky came a flash and down came the sword of a Super Saiyan named Trunks, slashing Frieza in two. This was Trunks' first appearence... At this point Gohan still hadn't the ability of a Super Saiyan.

Final- You were asked the technique Goku picked up while in the afterlife used to help Goku fight Vegeta. When Goku's brother came to Earth he meant business, and wouldn't give up until he was dead. Unfortunately the only apparent way to finish him involved Goku sacrificing himself in order to keep his brother in the line of fire of Piccolo's new, ultra-destructive attack. After Goku died, he met King Kai, a powerful master who taught the Earth Saiyan a powerful technique, Kaio-Kan. Goku already knew Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha, and in fact had to use it to meet King Kai. Artificial Moonlight is used by Saiyans to make themselves transform into giants, as Vegeta used it to fight Goku during the Earth invasion. Final Flash was a technique used by Vegeta.
