10 Anecdotes about Caulifla in Dragon Ball Super

Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series was a consecration for many anime and manga fans. The series was promoted among young boys and teenagers who were fans of shonen for decades in Japan, before being exported and gaining worldwide popularity over the years. The new Dragon Ball Super saga also brought a resurgence of new features to the delight of the community. 🥰

Caulifla is a new character in this new animated series. Introduced just before the official start of the Tournament of Power, she made history as the first female Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball . As a prodigy, like Goku, she doesn't back down from a tough fight and always seeks to test the limits of her power. 💪

However, while she has been a great asset to the new franchise, her character includes a lot of facts that make no sense, ultimately making her a weaker character overall. So quickly discover our 10 Anecdotes about Caulifla in Dragon Ball Super which prevent her from being known as one of the most credible characters in the Japanese saga.

10. USED TO WIN

By the time Caulifla debuts in Dragon Ball Super, most of the other characters have married and had children. Their life is generally calm, except when aliens threaten their planet, Earth. When Caulifla comes to Earth looking for a fight, she expects everyone to be weak. Unfortunately, Caulifla didn't realize that some Z-Fighters like to fight for fun! ⚔

She made the grave mistake of challenging Goku. Caulifla couldn't defeat him alone, and not even with her fused form, Kefla . She actually had a seizure. Caulifla was so used to having the upper hand in battle that she was unwilling to accept defeat. She came to accept that Son Goku was more powerful than her at that time. 😣

9. ORIGIN OF HIS NAME

The Saiyans are a dominant alien race in the Dragon Ball series, taking center stage. Most of the main characters are half or full Saiyans who can take full advantage of their power heritage. Caulifla is part of this race of powerful fighters. Not only does she have all the abilities of those close to her, but also some more original character traits. 🎭

All Saiyan characters in the series have names that are vegetable connotations. This includes Raditz, Gohan, Nappa, Vegeta and Bardock. The main character of the Dragon Ball series, Goku, has a Saiyan name, Kakarot. As for Caulifla, it is the cauliflower that continues the tradition with its name, which in English is "cauliflower".

8. CAULIFLA VS HIT

Hit entered the history of Universe 6 . He is known by many as the "legendary taker of life", an expert in destruction and assassination. He never backs down from a challenge. He has become so good at his craft that he seems to have become almost emotionless. 🐱‍👤

At the same time, his solitary nature has made him so unsociable that he cannot cope with even the most basic of politeness. Caulifla, who is also a resident of Universe 6, was impressed by Hit from the moment they met. He may be strong at harming others, but he maintains a sense of respect on the battlefield. Among all the other characters in the series, Caulifla will speak to him with respect and honor. 🤝

7. THE RAGE TO VICTORY

Caulifla is the leader of a street gang, she has a tough older brother named Rensô , and is well respected on the planet Sadal . She didn't have to do much to gain the respect of those weaker than her. When she meets the other Z-Fighters , she assumes that they are as weak as the others. She doesn't train because she always believes she will win. This attitude will not last long. 🙄

As a street fighter and not a martial arts expert, Caulifla doesn't have the experience necessary to take the Tournament of Power seriously. She just wants to win, even if it means taking dishonorable actions. She must learn the hard way how to hone her skills if she wants to be a powerful opponent. 💪

6. CABBA’S HELP

Like most fighters in the Dragon Ball series, Caulifla wants to become a powerful character. So at first she wasn't much interested in cooperating with anyone. She wanted to become a fighting force on her own. It was already known that all male Saiyans could transform at least to the basic Super Saiyan stage when they developed excess rage. But when it comes to female Super Saiyans, we know very little. 🕵️‍♀️

She believed that she could one day achieve Super Saiyan mode on her own. When Cabba offered to help her, she immediately accepted. She honestly didn't know how to achieve such ultimate power on her own. Caulifla trusted this newcomer to help her become stronger. 🔥

5. CAULIFLA & KALE

The DBS cartoon features Caulifla and Kale as best friends. They are so close that we often never see them apart on screen. Caulifla is very protective of her friend and will do anything to protect her. Anime fans may be surprised to learn that Caulifla and Kale are not close friends in the Dragon Ball manga. 📖

In the manga , Kale is only seen as a member of Caulifla's gang and has no particular attachment to her. Cabba only recruits Kale because he sees potential in her, unlike in the animated series. Caulifla underestimates Kale's abilities so much that she tells him to treat the Tournament of Power as a vacation. In both series, Caulifla learns to respect Kale as a powerful friend rather than a third wheel. 🤟

4. A SUPER SAIYAN WOMAN

In decades, the Dragon Ball series hasn't had a female Super Saiyan. The lack of female Super Saiyan characters in the saga is not due to Toriyama's reluctance to add one. He just didn't know how to draw her. When Videl transformed thanks to her child, half-Saiyan, fans were blown away. We thought Videl or Pan would be the first female Super Saiyan fighters in the series. Unfortunately, this turned out to be false. Videl stopped fighting, and Pan didn't transform in DBZ or Dragon Ball Super. 🤷‍♀️

Fans have often debated which woman was the first to debut as a Super Saiyan in the anime . The first real testimony of transformation that fans witnessed was that of Caulifla. The next revolutionary transformation would later be that of Caulifla's best friend, Kale . 🎇

3. A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR KALE

During the Tournament of Power, the bond between Caulifla and Kale is almost indissoluble. Caulifla tells Kale that she is the best friend she has ever had. She no longer considers Kale as a protégé but as a sister. Caulifla only wants the best for her friend. When it came to Kale learning how to transform into Super Saiyan mode, she failed. Cabba also declared that it was due to his lack of dynamism. 🐌

She couldn't focus her energy on his back. It was only when Kale felt she was losing her best friend to Cabba that she then transformed. She didn't just become Super Saiyan, but she achieved "Uncontrollable Saiyan" or " Berserker Super Saiyan " mode. Kale only returned to normal after exhausting her stamina.

2. AN OVERSIZED EGO

Caulifla spent the few years of her life fighting in the streets, alone or with her gang of gangsters. She continues to fight as long as she finds it entertaining. Before meeting the Z-Fighters at the Tournament of Power, she does not believe she can ever be defeated. She gained this huge ego after being champion for so long. 🏆

Caulifla proved to be one of the strongest fighters in Universe 6 . She is so strong that Cabba joins her specifically to help her win the Tournament of Power. Although she is distracted by Son Goku's defeat, she puts up a tough fight against the older, somewhat wiser warrior. Despite his slightly overconfident appearance, Goku will eventually earn his respect in battle. 🙏

1. GOKU VS KEFLA

When Caulifla and Goku faced each other in battle, she wanted to win more than anything. It has become a personal fight more than a fight to protect their Universes. Before the fight started, she already believed that she could be crowned champion against all the Z-Fighters. Caulifla made the same mistake as many other Dragon Ball villains: she underestimated him! 🤡

Goku turned out to be a much stronger fighter than she thought. He was amused because he saw himself in her. But Caulifla wasn't going to fall without a proper battle. In Super Saiyan God Mode, Goku was nearly invincible, although weakened from his previous battle against Jiren. Things seemed difficult for Caulifla, but she remembered that she and Kale still had the Potaras Earrings . These earrings allowed him to merge with Kale to form Kefla. 💨

And there you have it, thanks to these 10 Anecdotes about Caulifla in Dragon Ball Super, you now know how to uncover the secrets surrounding her character. We expected nothing less from the first true female Saiyan in the Dragon Ball franchise, it was time to add a little female power to finally renew the standards!
