OVERVIEW
Basara Gladiaugus (バサラ・グラディアグス), also known as the “Saiyan Berserker”, is a young Saiyan who exists in a parallel Dragon Ball timeline. A vain and strong character, and a ruthless warrior driven by vengeance, righteous fury and the desire to be the strongest. He is a counterpart to Vegeta, and is the half-brother and rival to Hiro Alexanders.
APPEARANCE
Basara is a tall, brown, very muscular young man with long, unruly hair, sharp scowling eyes, and a monkey-like tail he wears around his waist like a belt. He wears a white and yellow Saiyan Armor over a black bodysuit with white gloves and boots. He shares many similar physical traits with Raditz and Vegeta. He wore a red scouter in his first appearance, but eventually discarded it.
PERSONALITY
Basara is a brash, short-tempered and aggressive young man with an insatiable desire for even greater power. Because of his demeanor, he tends to often come off as unheroic and sometimes downright wicked and immoral. He often acts erratically and of his own accord, but in spite of this, he has no real desire to be evil, and mainly seeks to use his potential for good. In battle, Basara is a brutal fighter with a questionable lust for violence and destruction. He has no qualms on injuring, or even killing, his opponents in cold-blood when angered past the point of reasoning.
Unlike his predecessor, Basara sees little to no value in pride or honor, and acts on what seems more realistic, direct and practical. In spite of his conviction of his own power, his main goal when fighting is to win, and is willing to cheat and use underhanded tactics to do it. He is also incredibly disrespectful towards his opponents, and often berates and belittles them with venomous insults.
Even with his bad qualities, Basara is not without his own moral compass, as he does not needlessly harm innocent people, nor does he allow them to come to harm. He despises villainy and cowardice, and being a hero has taught him to show harness his power and rage and use it to fight injustices rather than just for senseless violence and selfish gain.
In spite of his evil personality, Basara’s strength, ruthlessness, stubbornness and determination makes him a fearsome warrior and a formidable protector of the earth and universe beyond.
POWER
Basara possesses incredible strength and exceptional fighting talent, as well the potential to accomplish unimaginable feats. Before his encounter with Hiro, Basara traveled across the universe in search of powerful warriors to defeat. When arriving to Earth, he singlehandedly defeated almost all of the planet’s most powerful fighters and protectors in his base form. He had even outclassed and overwhelmed Hiro, who defeated Omega Shenron several months prior, when they both fought as Super Saiyans. However, he is eventually defeated by the combined efforts and the earth’s protectors.
After suffering defeat at the hands of the heroes, Basara is humbled and reminded that he is not infallible, nor is he invincible. Upon realizing he has better chances at becoming stronger as an ally to the Earth’s protectors, rather than continuing he chaotic ventures into an early grave, Basara begrudgingly joins the heroes, and alongside them, fights to defend the planet from evil.
Much like his brother and rival Hiro, Basara is capable of affectively battling opponents of multi-universal potency. Even in battles against cosmic horrors like Archon and other villains, when he’s been met with both victory and achievements as well as defeat and failure, Basara becomes so powerful to the point he is capable of affectively causing interdimensional ripples through time and space.

EQUIPMENT
Scouter: In spite of how powerful he was, Basara initially couldn’t detect/sense life energy before his assault on Earth, and had to rely on a scouter to read surrounding powers. He saw little to no use for it any longer after learning to sense ki. Along with the armor, it was likely stolen from remnants of Frieza’s army.
TRANSFORMATIONS
Great Ape
By visually absorbing energy form a full moon, Basara can transform into a Great Ape. In this form, his strength and durability multiplies ten fold and he retains his natural speed, and though he is still fully conscious of his actions and even able to speak, his violent and destructive tendencies are also increased. Usually, he needs the energy source of the moon to retain this power, or he’ll revert back to human form.
Super Saiyan
At some point, Basara lost control of his emotions and entered a berserk state, awakening his Super Saiyan powers. In this form, his strength, speed, durability and energy output increase tremendously, and dark bio-electricity is produced from his aura. This form allows him to achieve unmatched power and battle opponents of multiversal potency. As a Berserker, overextending the use of this form could make make him dark, psychotic and uncaring of the consequences of his actions.
TRIVIA
- Basara’s name is a play on the word “Basaka”, which is the Japanese pronunciation for the English word “Berserker”. His last name, Gladiaugus, is a mixture of the word “Gladiator” and Latin name “August”, which means means Great or Magnificent. Gladiaugus is intended to mean “Great Gladiator”.
- Basara overcame his tail’s weakness during childhood. Traditionally, he still wears it around his waist like most Saiyans did.
- In his origin game, Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi, Basara is voiced by Joel McDonald in English, who also voices Zahha in the official mobile game Dragon Ball Legends. In Japanese, he is voiced by Masakazu Morita, who also voices Whis in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Super. Morita also voices Ichigo Kurosaki in the anime Bleach.
- Aside from being chaotic parallel counterpart of Vegeta, Basara also shares many similarities with Raditz. They’re both the main character’s evil older brother (Basara to Hiro, and Raditz to Goku respectively, Basara was redeemed), they share the same hairstyle and large muscular builds, and they both look very similar to Vegeta.
