Captain Ginyu
From The Codex
| “ | 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.

Age: Unknown
Classification: Captain of the Ginyu Force
Alignment: Neutral Evil (Although Captain Ginyu does carry out evil deeds, he does not do so in an unnecessary extent the way that Frieza or the barbaric Saiyans would. Ginyu seeks fun in battle above all else, only committing his evil deeds after having won a satisfying match, unless Frieza directly commands him to get to the point)
Dimensionality: 3-D

Combat Speed: At least FTL (Should be superior to Saiyan Saga Goku’s Kaio-Ken x4. Kaio-Ken x4 should promptly make Goku at least four times faster than Piccolo who should be far superior to Kid Goku who can dodge a laser beam) | At least FTL | Average Human

Stamina: Superhuman (Should be comparable to, if not superior to, early-Dragon Ball Z Goku, who travelled across Snake Way mainly non-stop for over 100 days. Swapping bodies with others can completely rejuvenate his stamina)

Powers and Abilities
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.
Notable Techniques
- Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Ginyu is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.
- Ki Blast: Using Ki, Ginyu 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.
Other
Standard Tactics: Ginyu will employ hand to hand tactics along with ki attacks. If the opponent is shown to be too strong for him he will attempt to swap bodies with them while damaging his own.
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.
