Editing Saibamen (section)

==Biography==

===Background===
On Earth, Vegeta orders Nappa to plant their last six Saibamen (each with a power level close to [[Raditz|Raditz's]]) during the fight against the Dragon Team to test their power. Vegeta orders them to attack [[Piccolo]], [[Gohan]], and [[Krillin]], but halts when [[Tien]] Shinhan, [[Chiaotzu]], and [[Yamcha]] arrive on the battlefield. Vegeta thinks it will be fun with six Saibamen versus the six of them, calling it a game. Piccolo gets mad that he thinks this is a game and doesn't want to fight on their terms. Piccolo says that they will fight them all at once. Krillin tries to calm him down, since this will allow them to buy time for Goku to arrive. Tien volunteers to go first, and Vegeta sends out a Saibaman.

Tien defeats the Saibaman with surprising ease, much to the Dragon Team's joy and Nappa's shock. Vegeta quickly destroys the Saibaman for underestimating Tien and reminds the others to go all out. Krillin volunteers to go next, but Yamcha volunteers instead, explaining that Krillin has already been returned to life by the Dragon Balls once, and he cannot be brought back again. Yamcha seemingly defeats the Saibaman after an equal fight, but it uses the Saibaman Bomb in order to kill Yamcha at the cost of its own life. Enraged by Yamcha's death, Krillin destroys three of them with the Scattering Bullet. The last one was killed by Piccolo's Explosive Breath Cannon after stopping the Saibaman from attacking Gohan.

===Dragon Ball Z===

====Saiyan Saga====
On Earth, Vegeta commands Nappa to plant their six remaining Saibamen, each with power levels comparable to Raditz's, to test the Dragon Team's abilities. Vegeta instructs the Saibamen to attack Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin but pauses the assault when Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha arrive. Amused, Vegeta proposes a "game" of six Saibamen versus six Dragon Team members, much to Piccolo's anger, as he doesn't want to fight under the Saiyans' terms. Krillin calms Piccolo, suggesting this approach could buy time for Goku's arrival.

Tien steps up first, easily defeating a Saibaman to the Dragon Team's delight and Nappa's surprise. Vegeta, frustrated by the Saibaman's failure, kills it to set an example for the others. Next, Yamcha volunteers instead of Krillin, reasoning that Krillin has already been revived once by the Dragon Balls and cannot be revived again. Yamcha defeats his opponent after an even battle, but the Saibaman self-destructs using the Saibaman Bomb, killing Yamcha at the cost of its own life.

Infuriated by Yamcha's death, Krillin uses the Scattering Bullet to destroy three Saibamen simultaneously. The final Saibaman attempts to attack Gohan but is intercepted and killed by Piccolo using the Explosive Breath Cannon.

====Super 17 Saga====
Years after their initial use, Saibamen are among the villains released from Hell by [[Dr. Gero]] and [[Dr. Myuu]]'s dimensional hole. They are promptly destroyed and sent back to Hell by [[Uub|Majuub]], [[Trunks]], and [[Goten]].

===Other Dragon Ball Stories===

====That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha====
The reincarnated [[Yamcha (Reincarnated)|Yamcha]] defeats all six Saibamen with ease and survives a Saibamen Bomb after being grabbed by multiple Saibamen, who self-destruct together.

====Budokai 2====
Dr. Gero creates the Saiba Rangers, a parody of Super Sentai/Power Rangers. This group consists of five multi-colored Saibamen: red, blue, green, yellow, and pink.

====Budokai Tenkaichi 2====
In Raditz's "what-if" scenario, he summons a Saibaman during a battle with Piccolo but is betrayed when the Saibaman self-destructs, causing Raditz to lose his memory and altering the course of events in the story.

====Dragon Ball Online====
By Age 1000, Saibamen have become a hostile species on Earth, likely brought by remnants of the Frieza Force. Their species has evolved into several sub-species adapted to Earth's environment.

====Dragon Ball Fusions====
After [[Tekka|Tekka's]] Team learns to recruit allies from [[Master Roshi]], they encounter Saibamen at Area F1 of the Timespace Rift. Upon defeating a group of Saibamen, one emerges peacefully, recognizing Tekka as its master and joins the team. This Saibaman becomes a playable character and appears aboard the team's spaceship.

The game also introduces '''Saibaking''', a top-tier Saibaman created by the fusion of multiple Saibamen. Unlike its peers, Saibaking is intelligent and can speak. It leads a group of Saibamen but is defeated by Tekka's Team. After being subdued with a Zenkai Attack, Saibaking can also be recruited and made playable. Additionally, Saibaman and Chiaotzu can fuse using EX-Fusion to create '''Chiaoman''', a hybrid character.

====Xenoverse 2====
Saibamen appear in Chronoa's training tutorial, acting as opponents for the Future Warrior. They later appear in the Ajisa District, leading to the unlockable Parallel Quest 14: ''Saiyan Pride''. In the quest, Saibamen act under Vegeta's orders.

During Frieza's training, he highlights their convenience and obedience, noting that they sometimes outperform his soldiers.

====Dragon Ball Legends====
Saibamen participate in the ''Tournament of Time'' in Age 780, often deployed by the remnants of the [[Frieza]] Force or other warriors. [[Shallot (Dragon Ball)|Shallot]], the game's protagonist, frequently battles Saibamen while navigating the tournament's events.

Saibamen serve multiple purposes in the story:

*[[Mercenary Tao]] employs them as underlings.
*Raditz uses them in his schemes, seeking revenge on [[Goku]] and Gohan.
*Nappa trains Shallot and his allies by having them face a gauntlet of Saibamen before sparring with Nappa himself.

Throughout the narrative, Saibamen are used by various factions, including the Organization of [[Babidi]] and the Mastermind's group, often enhanced with Dark Ki. They appear in pivotal battles and training sequences, becoming a recurring feature in both the main storyline and side missions.

====Kakarot====
In ''Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot'', Saibamen play an active role as recurring enemies and part of side storylines:

*'''Regular Enemies:''' After Yamcha's death by Saibaman Bomb (Self Destruct), Saibamen appear across Earth as enemies. New variants like Kaiwaremen and Kyukonmen appear during different intermissions, each with unique traits and Z-Encyclopedia entries.
*'''Super Villainous Saibamen:''' These are encountered during a mission where King Kai sends Gohan to investigate an evil ki near Goku's house. Gohan protects a farm from these enhanced Saibamen, showing their role in side missions.
*'''Saibamen Set:''' The seeds and growth liquid Nappa uses to create Saibamen are identified as the Saibamen Set in the Z-Encyclopedia. It explains their creation by Saiyan scientists as tools for conquest and training partners for the Frieza Force.
*'''Sub Story: "Mysterious Power Reading":''' [[Bulma]] detects a high-power level with Raditz's Scouter and sends Gohan to investigate. He encounters and defeats three Saibamen near Raditz's crashed space pod, discovering that spilled Saibamen growth liquid may affect non-Saibaman plant life, as suggested by the appearance of a High-Quality Carrot. Completing this unlocks the Saibamen Soul Emblem and "Secrets of the Saibaman 1" in the Z-Encyclopedia.
*'''Sub Story: "Attacked Villager":''' During the intermission after the Frieza Saga, Gohan rescues a villager from Kaiwaremen near Goku's house. Gohan theorizes their attack might relate to their artificial biology and attraction to food, though he lacks definitive knowledge.
*'''Sub Story: "Frequently Attacked Villager":''' After the Cell Saga, Super Saiyan Full Power Gohan rescues the same villager from three Kyukonmen near Mount Paozu. These Kyukonmen, at Level 56, exceed Super Perfect Cell's level during the Cell Games but are easily handled by Gohan. Their motive for the attack is debated, with Gohan suggesting they may see her as a food source, though their exact behavior remains unclear.
