Dragon Ball V

Dragon Ball V is a Japanese shonen action manga series and a sequel to the Dragon Ball manga. The "V" in the title represents that it is the fifth installment of the Dragon Ball franchise (after the original, Z, GT, and Super), with it being a Roman numeral for five. However, in spite of this, the series takes place directly after the manga, meaning that GT, Super (except for Resurrection F and Battle of the Gods) and the video games aren't canon to the series. The series began publication since May 16th, 2019.

Synopsis
Set five years after the End of Z, Uub has been training under Son Goku alongside Pan as soon their training gets intensified when new villains and a new rival emerges as soon Uub and his pals begin to learn new powers while facing dangerous threats.

Main

 * Uub - the reincarnation of Kid Buu who was found by and trained by Goku, being able to get stronger the more angry he becomes, training with Goku to both get stronger and to become less dependent on anger.
 * Son Goku - a Saiyan who has saved the world on multiple occasions as he has semi-retired, trying to mentor both Uub and Pan, although he both isn't the best at giving new techniques and often lets his love of fighting and food get ahead of him.
 * Pan - Goku's impatient and spunky granddaughter who Goku decided to also train due to the insistence of Gohan as she wants to be super strong and powerful but can get over her head.
 * Sosu - an egotistical and aggressive human martial artist who trained under the aloof martial artist known as Tufu as she has been looking for tough opponents, gaining both a somewhat playful rivalry with and a crush on Uub.

Supporting

 * Chi-Chi - Goku's wife and Pan's grandmother who fully embraced retirement as she can sometimes get overprotective of both her own sons and Pan as well.
 * Gohan - Goku's son and Pan's father who has retired from fighting but still cares for Pan as he wants to make sure that she is safe.
 * Videl - Gohan's wife and Pan's mother who has also retired from fighting and tries to stay happy and supportive though she can sometimes snap.
 * Vegeta - Goku's old rival who has settled down with Bulma as he is forced to be a stay at home dad, trying his best to be human.

Antagonists

 * Spyce - an intergalactic hunter known for his inability to be beaten in combat as he is obsessed with finding a challenge, destroying planets whose fighters bore him as he heads to Earth after hearing about the legendary warrior who was able to beat Frieza.
 * Dandie - a seductive yet egotistical demon who has broken free from the Demon Realm as she arrives on Earth, wanting to enslave the residents, soon coming face to face with Earth's guardians.

Movie Introduced

 * Cooler - the older brother of the deceased Frieza who was rejected and neglected by his own father due to not being as powerful as Frieza as he grew envious and forced himself to train hard, soon growing extremely strong and making his goal to kill the legendary Super Saiyan that killed Frieza.

Transformations and Fusions

 * Majuub - Uub's first transformation that was created due to him absorbing Good Buu's energy as he is both rather powerful and isn't built around anger and rage.
