Earth (Dragon Ball)

Earth is a planet that features in Dragon Ball.

History

Origin

Earth (Japanese: 地ち球きゅう, Hepburn: Chikyū) was an inhabitable world located in the North Area (北エリア, Kita Eria) of the galaxy.

Many years ago, a young Saiyan named Kakarot came to be dispatched to Planet Earth by his father following the destruction of his homeworld of Planet Vegeta. The child would have followed his people's instincts that sought him to conquer the planet with his superior abilities but he was found by an elderly human named Gohan. Whilst taking in the child, the infant banged his head and came to forget the memories of his people. As such, he became an innocent child who was adopted by Gohan who named the boy Goku.

Dragon Ball

King Piccolo first made himself known to the world, he spawned several underlings and sent them to destroy a city and all its inhabitants. Outside that city was Mutaito's dojo, where Master Mutaito and his students trained. The underlings attacked the dojo, and in the aftermath, the monsters and all but two of the students were dead. These two students, Master Roshi and Master Shen, and Mutaito 'managed to live to fight another day and went their separate ways' until Mutaito's rematch with Piccolo, by which time most of Earth's population had been eradicated by the evil Namekian. In his final battle, Mutaito sealed Piccolo away with the Evil Containment Wave, after which the Earth returned to normal until Piccolo's brief resurgence as a villain in Age 753.

Dragon Ball Z

One day, Goku came to show his son Gohan to his friends on Master Roshi's island where during this time the planet was visited by his Saiyan brother Raditz. Raditz was among the few Saiyans that survived the destruction of their world and had come to Earth to conquer it. He had attempted to re-unite with his brother Kakarot and recruit him to the cause but was surprised to see his younger sibling had no memory of his origins. Ultimately, Piccolo would join Goku in fighting the greater threat when Raditz kidnapped Son Gohan. Goku would sacrifice his life to help kill Raditz but the existence of the Dragon Balls were revealed with this information being transmitted from the Saiyan's Scouter thus notifying Vegeta and Nappa about their existence. The other two Saiyans then decided to make their way to Earth in order to gain their wishes from the Dragon Balls. In preparation, the Z Warriors underwent training to increase their fighting skill to battle the coming Saiyans. Meanwhile, Goku was in the afterlife where he trained on King Kai's planet to make himself stronger whereupon he would be brought back to life to fight the Saiyans.

Alternate Versions

• In Dragon Ball Z, an alternate future reality was shown where Dr. Gero's androids were first released. Both Android 17 and Android 18 defeated the Z Warriors and kill the majority of them with the exception of Son Gohan and Trunks. Gohan would ultimately be killed in one confrontation against the androids where he managed to destroy them. Meanwhile, Trunks looked to avoid this future and used his mothers newly created time machine to travel into the past to warn as well as prepare the Z Warriors for the danger. Unknown to him, the version of Cell from his timeline had awakened and used the time machine to travel into the past as well in order to absorb the androids to achieve his perfect form.
• In Dragon Ball GT, an alternate version of Earth appeared that depicted events decades after the Majin Buu Saga. Emperor Pilaf came to uncover the Black Star Dragon Balls which granted his vision that turned Goku back into a child. A consequence though was that these Dragon Balls were scattered across the universe and needed to be returned otherwise the planet would be destroyed. As a result, Goku alongside Trunks and Pan went off into space to recover the Black Star Dragon Balls.
• In Dragon Ball Super, Champa came to learn that the Earth of his native Universe 6 was a lifeless world having been destroyed by humans in an idiotic war amongst themselves.
