Dragonball - Vehicles Welcome to the Vehicles section, where I will discuss several vehicles in Dragonball and Dragonball Z. These are put in order, going in this order: DBZ series, DBZ TV Special, then DBZ movies. Each vehicle listing will include a picture of the vehicle, its name, and a summarized description. Vehicles 1-10 | Vehicles 11-20 | Vehicles 21-27 Yajirobei's Capsule Aircar We first get to see this during the battle between Goku and Vegeta on Earth. After Kuririn and Gohan sense a powerful aura, they arrive to help Goku. On the way to the battleground, they run into Yajirobei and tell him to distract Vegeta so they can help save Goku. Since Yajirobei is a coward, he decides there's nothing he can do and uses a capsule to leave in this pink capsule air car. He drives away and relaxes, but shortly afterwards returns to rescue Gohan by slicing off Vegeta's tail. Mr. Popo's Magic Carpet We only get to see this for one episode. This is used by Mr. Popo and is a magic carpet that can fly in the air. Mr. Popo gives Bulma a ride on this to Yumsebit Heights to show her Kami-sama's old spaceship. This carpet can also teleport from one location to the other. Kami-sama's Spaceship This spaceship is seen after the Saiyajin Saga, introduced to Bulma by Mr. Popo. In their desperation to find a way to Namek, Mr. Popo reveals that a long time ago Kami-sama told of a strange place that he [Kami] would stay at. Mr. Popo thought it may've been a spaceship, but needed Bulma to check it out for herself. The password to open the door to this ship is Piccolo, which means another place in Namekian (according to the dub anyway). Bulma and Mr. Popo take this spaceship for a test drive, arriving at Jupiter in just a few seconds. Kuririn, Gohan, and Bulma later take this ship to Namek and run into all sorts of trouble along the way. When they finally reach Namek, this ship is blasted by two of Freeza's henchmen, rendering it useless. Ginyu Spacepods Used by the infamous Ginyu Force, these space pods resemble Saiyajin Space pods in nearly every way, except for the Ginyu symbol on the doors. Like saiyajin space pods, these were extremely durable, enabling travel right through meteors. Goku also uses one of these to escape from the exploding Namek. Capsule Corp. Spacepod These were MUCH bigger than saiyajin space pods and are accompanied with just about all one could need. The first of these seen in Dragonball Z was used by Goku to get to Namek. This pod was accompanied with a gravity machine capable of creating artificial gravity (up to 100 times earth's). More of these are built later in Dragonball Z and are used for a variety of purposes. Chichi, Roshi, Oolong, Yajirobei, and Pu'ar try to use one of these Capsule Space Pods to get to Namek to help their friends but never end up doing so because their friends are wished back from Namek instead. Vegeta also uses one of these to train in so that he can surpass Goku's strength and train for the oncoming battle with the androids. These don't really have a Capsule #, they are just built by the Capsule Corp. Freezer's Spaceship Large in diameter, Freezer's ship is accompanied with many smaller rooms, two rejuvination tanks (which are used to heal Goku and Vegeta), a big control room, and a round hallway throughout the ship. Vegeta is healed in this ship by Freezer's main henchman Zarbon for interrogation. Vegeta unexpectedly awakens and escapes with the dragonballs after blasting two holes through the ship's outer structure (and destroying the rejuvination tank). After Freezer is known to be gone from this ship, Vegeta makes a return looking for the dragonballs. He kills all of the guards and changes into new armor. Kuririn, Gohan, and Vegeta put Goku in the other rejuvination tank after the fight with the Ginyu Force. After Goku recovers, he breaks the healing tank and blows a hole through the ship. After the battle with Freezer, after Namek starts to explode, Goku attempts to escape in this ship but unfortunately it no longer works. Goku manages to exit right before this ship falls into a pit of molten lava. Capsule Corp. Aircycle We first see this vehicle during the Captain Ginyu Saga. Bulma uses it to gather the unguarded dragonballs. On the way, she is attacked by dinosaurs but Gohan and Kuririn save her. We get to see this again after Bulma befriends Captain Ginyu (in frog form). After she builds a translator, she discovers the frog's true identity when he switches bodies with her and uses the aircycle to make it to the battlefield where Goku and Freezer are fighting. On the way, Bulma (in the frog's body) jumps on Ginyu's (in Bulma's body) face, causing Ginyu to crash the aircycle right next to Piccolo, Gohan, and Kuririn. The Capsule used for this is Capsule #67. King Cold's Spaceship This is pretty much the same as Freezer's Spaceship. We first see this when the reconstructed Freezer and his father, King Cold, head to Earth for revenge. When they arrive they are greeted by Trunks, who eventually kills all of King Cold's guards, Freezer, and King Cold. After killing King Cold, he easily destroys this spaceship. West City Army Tank While Cell and Piccolo are fighting, a large amount of tanks from the West City Army are sent to destroy Cell. Cell manages to get a hold of Piccolo and begins to absorb Piccolo's energy through his arm. When the leader of the army demands Cell's surrender, Cell fires eye lasers at a tank. The leader then orders all tanks to fire. Cell easily survives the tanks' blasts. When several missiles are fired at Cell, he turns them back at the tanks, which destroys them all. Bulma's Aircar We first see this when we first see Bulma and Trunks in the Trunks TV Special. Trunks is in his preteens and Bulma is driving the car. Bulma and Trunks hear on the radio that the Androids are attacking another city. This angers Trunks so much that he leaves her in this vehicle to go fight them. There was no clear shot of this on this TV special, so this was the best capture I could get.
