“	I am Captain Ginyu, a soldier so elite that even crying children are silent in my presence!	„
	~ Captain Ginyu

Background

Captain Ginyu is the captain of the legendary Ginyu Force, an elite squadron that serves directly under Lord Frieza as the second hand of the Frieza Force. As a child, Ginyu would abuse his unique Body Change technique to gain fame and fortune with his peers, notably by switching bodies with rich and popular kids he knew.

As he grew up, Ginyu’s special abilities and overwhelming power caught the attention of an alien named Cooler, who recruited Ginyu into Cooler’s Armoured Squadron. Ginyu was then put up against his comrade, Salza, as they fought over leadership of the team. Although the result of the battle is unknown, Ginyu left the Squadron regardless.

Ginyu was soon then recruited by Cooler’s younger brother, Frieza, who decided to make him the leader of his very own group; the Ginyu Force. Ginyu would become partners with four other aliens, known as Jeice, Burter, Recoome, and Guldo, and their team would become known for their eccentric poses.

The Ginyu Force was soon brought to Planet Namek by Frieza, who requested that they bring Scouters for him, along with destroying those who were trying to steal the Dragon Balls from him. They were pitted against the Dragon Team, including Son Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta, and Son Goku, who swiftly beat the team.

With only Captain Ginyu left, he opted to switch bodies with Son Goku, although he soon found out that he was completely unable to use Goku’s full power. As he attempted to then switch bodies with Vegeta, a frog intercepted his body swap, and ruined his plans.

Once everyone on Namek was teleported to Earth, Ginyu in the frog’s body was brought to Earth as well, where he lived out the rest of his days; unable to fight in his new form, and rendered completely harmless.

Powers and Abilities:

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts (Captain Ginyu can fight on par with martial artists such as Son Goku and Krillin), Acrobatics, Flight, Ki Manipulation (Ginyu can generate Ki for attacks), Enhanced Senses, Aura (He can surround himself in an aura of Ki), Immortality Negation (Type 7; Gotenks can destroy the Dictator’s undead army with their Ki; others with Ki should thus be able to do the same), Light Manipulation (Ginyu can generate Ki, which gives off light), Non-Physical Interaction (Those with Ki were able to harm the Ghost Warriors), Soul Manipulation (Captain Ginyu can swap souls with another person, essentially switching bodies with them), Healing (Ki is shown to have healing properties), Telekinesis (Ginyu can telekinetically lift objects), Fusionism (Captain Ginyu can perform the Fusion Dance)

Reactive Power Level (As a Saiyan, his power level will increase after a tough battle), Extrasensory Perception (With Goku’s body, Ginyu can likely sense Ki), possible Transformation (As a Saiyan, Ginyu Goku can theoretically transform into a Super Saiyan)

Human Achievements (Bulma is an accomplished scientist), Dimensional Storage (Bulma has Capsules, which contain all sorts of objects), Extrasensory Perception (Ginyu seems to be able to sense ki within Bulma’s body), Social Influencing (Bulma often uses her body to charm opponents)

Extrasensory Perception and Information Analysis (Scouters detect energy readings), Spaceflight (Ginyu’s Attack Ball space pod allows for him to travel through space)

Standard Equipment:

*Attack Ball: This round space pod only has room for one person, which the Ginyu Force used to travel from planet to planet; notably, they were seen using this space pod to travel to Planet Namek.

*Ginyu Force Armor: Due to being a part of the Frieza Force, Ginyu has Battle Armor. This armor is unbelievably durable, but also incredibly stretchy; the armor can stretch so much that it fits around Saiyans when they turn into a Great Ape.

• Scouter: Technology developed by the Tuffle race, but adopted by the Saiyans after the Tuffles were wiped out. This advanced piece of technology can detect the presence of life forms, calculate anyone’s battle power, and can also be used for telecommunication.

Intelligence: Genius (As the leader of the Ginyu Force, Ginyu is a very respected and intelligent fighter. When he recognizes that he’s losing a fight, he will tactfully harm himself before using his Body Change. He can even take on warriors such as Son Goku, who have decades of experience)

Weaknesses: When Ginyu body swaps, he is shown to be weaker than the original owner of the body. This is shown when he body swapped with Goku, in which he was unable to utilize Goku’s true power. If something gets in the way of his body swap it can prove a lot of trouble for him, shown when he accidentally swapped with a frog.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Raditz is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.
• Ki Blast: Using Ki, Raditz can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
• Body Change: Through emitting an energy beam from his mouth, Captain Ginyu can swap souls with whomever his beam makes contact with; essentially swapping bodies with them.
• Galaxy Dynamite: Ginyu launches a barrage of purple ki blasts.
• Milky Cannon: Ginyu focuses Ki in his palm, before launching off a giant purple blast.
• Kamehameha: A legendary blue beam of ki, coined by Master Roshi. Ginyu obtained this technique when he took over Goku’s body.
