Dragon Ball: Heya! Son Goku and Friends Return!!) September 21, 2008 |alignment=Good|age=Likely 30s or 40s|created by= Takao Koyama, Akira Toriyama & Tadayoshi Yamamuro (design)|occupation=Solider, Freedom Fighter|names=Tarble, ターブル Tāburu|height=Not Stated|weight=	Not Stated}}'''Tarble (ターブル Tāburu)''' is a Saiyan, the youngest son of [[King Vegeta]], and [[Vegeta]]'s estranged younger brother. He is married to an unusual alien named [[Gure]].

== Appearance ==
Tarble is a shorter Saiyan with a slim build. He has black, spiky hair that stands up, similar to his brother Vegeta's, and in the anime, a single bang falls onto his face. He wears a navy-blue jumpsuit beneath his Battle Armor, complemented by white boots, gloves, and a teal scouter. Tarble's tail remains loose, unlike most adult Saiyans, who wrap their tails around their waists.

== Personality ==
Tarble is polite and gentle, lacking the aggression typical of pure-blooded Saiyans. Due to his gentle nature and lack of fighting spirit, his father, King Vegeta, banished him to a remote planet. Despite their estrangement, Tarble respects his older brother Vegeta, praising him for his mistaken belief that Vegeta defeated [[Frieza]]. He also has a good relationship with his sister-in-law, [[Bulma]], and nephew, [[Trunks]]. Tarble is comfortable with Trunks facing two enemies he considers stronger than Frieza, though he expresses concern for his nephew's safety. He shares a loving bond with his wife, Gure, whom he introduces to Vegeta, surprising his brother.

== Biography ==

=== Background ===
Born on Planet Vegeta before its destruction, Tarble was sent away by King Vegeta due to his lack of aggression and combat skills, classifying him as a low-class Saiyan. During his exile, he met and married Gure.

Two years after the defeat of [[Majin Buu|Kid Buu]], Tarble's home is terrorized by [[Abo]] and [[Kado]], former henchmen of Frieza. After fighting them unsuccessfully, Tarble and Gure travel to Earth to seek help from Vegeta, as the duo had grown to be as powerful as Frieza. Abo and Kado follow them to Earth.

=== Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Son Goku and Friends! ===
On Earth, Tarble and Gure meet [[Goku]] and his friends. Vegeta reveals that Tarble is his brother, surprising everyone. Tarble checks Goku's power level with his scouter, deeming him too weak to defeat Abo and Kado, which Vegeta criticizes. Goku then powers up to Super Saiyan, breaking Tarble's scouter. Tarble asks for help, and the group decides who will fight the duo by pulling radishes, with Trunks winning. Tarble introduces Gure as his wife, shocking everyone, including Vegeta.

When Abo and Kado arrive, Tarble informs the group of their history, noting that they were once on par with the [[Captain Ginyu|Ginyu]] Force but have since grown as strong as Frieza. Surprised by the group's casual attitude toward Frieza's strength, Tarble witnesses [[Gotenks]] protecting him and Gure from [[Aka (Fusion)|Aka]]'s attack. He is last seen laughing with everyone when [[Videl]] reminds [[Mr. Satan]] of his promise to be more humble.

=== Battle of Gods ===
Tarble is mentioned by Bulma when the group is searching for a sixth Saiyan to help Goku achieve Super Saiyan God. Vegeta says Tarble is on a distant planet and that he doesn't know where he is, implying that they don't keep in touch.

=== Dragon Ball Super: Broly ===
In the prologue, after learning of Planet Vegeta's destruction, [[Nappa]] wonders if Tarble escaped. Vegeta dismissively replies that he doesn't know or care.

=== Dokkan Battle - Frieza's Menace: "Deepening Destiny" ===
In "Dokkan Battle," during the event "Frieza's Menace - Deepening Destiny," Tarble appears on Earth due to a dimensional distortion the Time Patrol investigates. [[Future Trunks]] mistakes him for a Saiyan invader and fights him, but soon realizes Tarble isn't a threat. Neither recognizes their familial connection, and Tarble leaves to find Vegeta.
