Kale[4] (ケール, Kēru) is a Saiyan from Universe 6 and a member of Team Universe 6. She is the latest Legendary Saiyan of Universe 6, a demon warrior who appears once every 1,000 years.[5] Appearance Kale is a Saiyan girl with a slender frame and average height, slightly taller than Caulifla and Cabba. She has tanned skin with downcast eyes and grey irises. She has shaggy shoulder-length black hair normally worn in a high ponytail secured by a white hair-tie, while a bang hangs over the left side of her face. Her outfit consists of a red cropped shirt exposing her midriff matching her lower outfit—a red skirt with a brown belt attached along with a silver circular buckle and a pair of black compression shorts underneath. She wears a pair of golden loafers with red socks, golden bracelets that cover her wrists and most of her forearms, also covers most of the lower part of her legs, and a pair of golden hoop earrings. In the anime, Kale wears red lipstick, which appears to be absent from the original black and white version of the manga. In the digital coloured release, red lipstick is added onto the original drawings. In the manga, she can be seen sporting a long robe with a hood when acting as a henchmen of Caulifla. The belt secured around her waist is similar to the one she wears in her usual outfit. She changes into her usual outfit when heading to Champa's planet. Personality In the anime, unlike most Saiyans who are violent, assertive, or at least strong-willed, Kale is a very meek and timid individual. Showing great insecurity and lack of self-confidence, she openly believes herself to be nothing special. She is also shown rather shy at meeting new people, even people as friendly as Goku. This lack of self-confidence, to the point that it comes off as socially awkward, has caused Kale to be constantly ridiculed by her fellow Saiyans. Caulifla, however, has always seen such potential in her, confidently believing Kale is stronger than she gives herself credit and always looked out for her best interest. Because of this, Kale has developed a very strong bond with Caulifla, her respect and adoration for Caulifla ultimately viewing the fellow Saiyan as a mentor and wanting nothing more than to prove herself worthy of Caulifla's praise. She also harbors insecurities over being a burden to Caulifla and becomes discouraged when she is unable to support her. Her greatest desire is to fight alongside Caulifla as equals. Her feelings for Caulifla's approval have also become a strong trigger for her in battle. When seeing Caulifla in trouble, feeling replaced by someone else, or praised by Caulifla, they have each unlocked more of Kale's potential. Originally when accessing her Super Saiyan powers, Kale's personality becomes a polar opposite, similar to her film counterpart Broly.[4] Shifting through emotions while in her berserker state, she would become insanely evil, excessively violent and cocky, even sadistic as shown from her smirking promise to kill her foe. As she would continue battling, her rage would only continue to grow, becoming more savage and merciless in her assaults. These are symptoms of a Legendary Super Saiyan, similar to Broly.[4] Only words from Caulifla would calm her down and revert to normal. At the same time, her devotion to Caulifla shows a certain emotional unbalance, as once it seems that Caulifla has taken more interest in someone else, Kale's rage would manifest her berserker state and attack with intent to kill the person who caused her this grief. At the same time, once angered enough, she would even completely forget her loyalty to Caulifla, willingly attacking her. This same devotion to Caulifla also gradually allowed her to master her newfound powers while retaining her true personality. Wanting so much to help her best friend, Kale overcame much of her insecurities and learned to focus her power at will, even access her berserker state without going on a rampage, and soon after focus that power into a complete state, earning such praise from Caulifla. All this made Kale begin to gain confidence in herself and soon after proudly fought alongside Caulifla, showing perfect tag-teaming tactics, which made Kale all the happier. By the Universal Conflict Saga, Kale has shown noticeably more self-confidence, not letting the pressuring assault of her foes deter her, even firmly voicing her defiance. In the manga, Kale is a bit less timid than in the anime. Though she remains meek and subservient, she is shown to be assertive enough to take action such as either snatching a gun and crushing it without them knowing or taking back the pendant from Super Saiyan Cabba without him knowing. While her attitude towards Caulifla is also rather similar to the anime, still caring about her and her opinion of Kale, Caulifla's personal feelings towards Kale is apparently just as another member of her gang and also shows less confidence in her current abilities. While being very reliant on Caulifla in the anime, Kale in the manga shows her unquestionable loyalty as a strong devotion to helping Caulifla. Her single goal is to make sure that Caulifla is victorious in whatever she desires, while not wanting to outshine Caulifla despite knowing her power exceeds the leader, feeling indebted to her for giving her a home. In addition, her reason for becoming a Super Saiyan was to avenge Caulifla after Frieza managed to beat her, and eventually powered up as Frieza and Goku double teamed her, with it being implied by Vados that such would prove detrimental to her mental stability. In Dragon Ball Legends, Babidi takes advantage of pre-Tournament of Power Kale's insecurity and fear of being replaced to manipulate her via the Dark Ki brainwashing technique. Due to miscommunication on Caulifla's part, Kale comes to fear Shallot will replace her and Babidi goads her into focusing on destroying Shallot. However Caulifla is able to get through to Kale and ultimately breaks the Dark Ki's hold over her. Afterwards Caulifla sits Kale straight regarding her relationship with Shallot who was simply aiding Caulifla in locating Kale. When Shallot is searching for righteous Saiyana at the behest of Beerus, he recruits Caulifla and Kale - both of whom have demonstrated their righteous hearts - and while Kale was originally going to take part in Shallot's Super Saiyan God ritual, Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed) knocks her out with a blast, though fortunately present Goku arrives to take her place. In Xenoverse 2, Kale is revealed to have a fascination with pink hair, and is disappointed when she realizes Super Saiyan God Vegeta has red hair instead. Unfortunately, when facing Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black, she is appalled by his energy, though is initially excited when she notices the pink hair of his Rosé form. Biography History In the manga, Kale, lost, was taken in by Caulifla, leading to her admiration of her.[7] Dragon Ball SuperUniversal Survival Saga Main article: Universe Survival Saga When Universe 7 is selecting their team, Kale is one of the foes from another Universe pictured by Old Kai. She is a member of Caulifla's gang as well as her protégée. She is often looked down upon by other Saiyans of Universe 6 for her timid personality. In the manga, Kale is with Caulifla when she and her henchmen steal from the Sadala Army members who are coming through her turf, when one of the soldiers tries to shoot Caulifla in the back, Kale steals and breaks his gun so quickly that nobody saw her do so. Kale watches Caulifla's battle with Cabba and his Super Saiyan form, being annoyed when Cabba manages to defeat Caulifla. Kale steals the pendant that Cabba took from Caulifla with such speed that nobody notices her do so and presents it to Caulifla, who tells her to give it to Cabba. Seeing Kale's true power that she hides, Cabba decides to also invite Kale to join the tournament team. Power AnimeIn the anime, while Caulifla has great faith in her potential, Kale was very limited in power while in her base form. In the Tournament of Power, her blasts were easily repelled and her strikes caused little to no damage, as shown by Goku and Methiop respectively. Most likely she didn't put her full effort in due to her shyness. In the case of the latter, she was also easily placed in a restraining hold by Napapa while Methiop beat her to a pulp. Once transforming, she shows a gargantuan increase in power. Her transformations were initially triggered by her built-up anger and/or repressed emotions and due to her continued lack of control, which would burn through huge amounts of energy quickly. In addition to growing stronger with more efficiency in its usage, she also came to gain proper control of that power, being able to access it at will with no visible drain of stamina and energy. During the tournament, her mere screams created large craters in the ground, despite it being made of Kachi Katchin. Legendary Super Saiyan Kale was able to completely overpower both Caulifla and Cabba, who were both fighting her in Super Saiyan form, able to pummel the latter around with little resistance. While Caulifla was able to deflect one of Kale's blasts once evolving into Super Saiyan 2. In the Tournament of Power, she completely manhandled Super Saiyan 2 Goku and even remained relatively unfazed by a point-blank Super Saiyan Blue Kamehameha, even walking clean through it. However, Goku was seemingly not using full power, and she appeared to take some damage from it, as seen when was seen breathing heavily afterwards. She then proceeded to batter Goku around, although he emerged basically unharmed. Her surging power began causing random attacks on all other fighters in the tournament, even eliminating Methiop. Ultimately, it took the intervention of Jiren, a being of Destroyer-like might, to stop the rampage and knock her out with a simple ki blast. During Universe 11's assault on Caulifla, Kale's desire to save her best friend and rage towards her own weakness was focused into a stable Super Saiyan form, unleashing energy capable of breaking through a separate dimension - which even Android 17 could not do. During an energy clash alongside Caulifla against Kahseral, Zoire, and Kettle, Kale was able to unleash her full power again, reentering her Legendary Super Saiyan form but still able to focus on her intended goal, aiding Caulifla to fire a combined energy beam to eliminate the three Pride Troopers. Before he went into meditation, Jiren seemingly acknowledged Kale as one of the warriors in the tournament that he was needed for. When facing Goku as he began to recover from battling Jiren, Super Saiyan Kale and Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla were able to pressure Goku despite his improved performance, even forcing him to momentarily use Super Saiyan 3. Desiring to make Caulifla proud, Kale accessed her full power of Legendary Super Saiyan. While momentarily making her turn savage again, Caulifla's ceaseless praise and confidence in her reached Kale's consciousness, letting her harness and intensify her power, enough to momentarily deter Jiren from his meditation. Once properly synchronizing her attacks with Caulifla, they were able to force Goku on a complete defense. At the same time, Kale's raw strength was shown able to initially overwhelm Goku, plowing him through solid rock, until he regained his composure to push her away. Against Super Saiyan God Goku, Kale was initially able to fight on par with her foe - claiming that no matter whether Goku used God or Blue, her and Caulifla would triumph - until Goku fought more seriously. He was able to rush through her energy blast unharmed and calmly overwhelmed the two while Kale barely repelled his blast, causing Old Kai to note Goku was exerting power beyond his limitations. Kale never took any damage from Super Saiyan God Goku during their bout and was going to keep fighting him, however she instead opted to fuse for Caulifla's sake. Manga In the manga, despite her insecurities, Kale is shown to actually be highly capable. While keeping it low-key, she is in fact the strongest Saiyan of Universe 6. Even before learning Super Saiyan, she was already well-ahead of other Universe 6 Saiyans using said power. She was fast enough to steal a Sadala soldier's blaster without him realizing it from a distance and just as easily crush it with her bare hand. Also, in her base form she is able to steal a pendant from Super Saiyan Cabba during his fight with Caulifla, with neither of the two noticing. In the Tournament of Power, Kale's abilities come into display, when she uses he true power she effortlessly overpowers and throws Dercori out of the stage. Her immense speed allowed her to catch Frieza off-guard a few times and strike him off balance without Super Saiyan Caulifla, Super Saiyan Cabba, or Golden Frieza realizing her presence. Once Frieza adjusted to Kale's tactics and caught her, he easily took her down, alongside Caulifla, albeit Frieza notes that Kale's strikes hurt him more than Super Saiyan Caulifla's did. When Kale takes on her Super Saiyan form, she catches the non-serious Frieza off-guard - as he believes he will be fighting a "mere" Super Saiyan - and effortlessly pummels the tyrant across the stage. When Goku intervenes as a Perfected Super Saiyan Blue, he initially has the upper hand against Kale, even landing a solid kick onto the female Saiyan (although he does note immediately beforehand when blocking one of her punches that he felt the punch's intensity and suspected the form she currently was using was not the ordinary Super Saiyan state). However, Kale quickly rebounds and continues her assault against Goku, growing in strength and ki at a very rapid rate, eventually managing to break Goku's guard and nearly landing a blow. At this point, Frieza notes that if he were to get serious, he could defeat Kale by himself. She proceeds to take on a Power Stressed state, shocking both Goku and Frieza. However, a concerned Vados noted that this extreme growth rate was causing Kale to lose control and could ultimately turn her into a danger for everyone in the Tournament of Power. With her newfound power, she struck the ground with such force that it demolished a large portion of the arena and launched a powerful shockwave that eliminated several fighters. She then began rampaging against everyone, swiftly eliminated all of Team Universe 4 and even smashing through Top and Perfected Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta simultaneously, which almost eliminated the two - though did no damage to either of them. She easily grabbed and dropped Ganos and Xiangca off the arena. Despite Agnilasa's massive size and increase in power, the berserker Kale eliminated the foe in a single strike. She then proceeded to quickly easily eliminated Zarbuto and Rabanra and knocked Obni off the arena with only a few blows. When her power began to take a toll on her body and she began to weaken, she then turned against her own team and still proved able to lift the massively heavy Auta Magetta of 1,000 tons, tossing him out of the arena with a single hand, blasted Saonel and Pirina off stage, and knocked Super Saiyan Cabba off the arena with one blow. However, her reckless and pure displays of raw might soon became predictable, and the stress on her body had been causing her to quickly lose power allowed the seven lesser members of Team Universe 11 to overwhelm her. After observing her in battle, Vegeta concluded that she was not worth his time as a foe.

Legendary Super Saiyan In the manga, in her initial Legendary Super Saiyan state her hair spikes up, she loses her ponytail and doesn't retain visible irises, having pure white eyes instead. In the manga, Kale unleashes this form in response to Caulifla and Cabba losing in their battle against Frieza, showing a berserker-like rage. While in this form rather than instantly becoming more muscular, her musculature and power builds up gradually, slowly getting stronger until she reaches her full power state. While in this form she's strong enough to toss around Frieza in his Golden form when he isn't serious and briefly push back Goku in his Perfected Super Saiyan Blue state. In the anime, while attempting to learn to become a Super Saiyan like Caulifla did, initially, Kale's lack of drive failed at the goal. Once feeling that Caulifla was more interested in Cabba, Kale accessed a unique Super Saiyan form of overwhelming power, which is thought by Vegeta to be the true form of a Saiyan. In the manga, she achieved it to stop Golden Frieza from overwhelming Caulifla. This came from her feeling indebted to Caulifla for giving her a home and wanted to ensure Caulifla would not lose face. While in this state, she grows considerably larger which likewise acquires a much bulkier and more muscular frame. She bears a striking resemblance to Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, having green hair that turns spiky and sticks out, freed from the ponytail, a green aura, and her eyes turn sharper and blank. Although comparatively to Broly, Kale is not as massive and still feminine in frame. In this form, while her clothing remains intact, her sheer size makes her shirt appear like a tank top. In the manga, her muscle definition and mass increases as she powers up, appearing similar to her anime Super Saiyan C-type state. Originally, this form caused Kale's meek demeanor to turn beastly and maniacal-like. This ultimately made her unable to truly control her actions in battle, which Piccolo noted is her greatest weakness. Her initial lack of control would cause her to grow angrier the longer she battled in this state and likewise quickly burn out on stamina and energy. Despite this and the massive stature of it, she does not appear to be hindered in speed or agility, contrasting to other Power Stressed forms, suggesting perhaps her speed to be "ultra first-class." Her intense power became able to instantly fire potent blasts and from places other than her hands, such as her chest or even a massive barrage in several directions at once. Her natural endurance and resilience are also greatly increased, able to brush off most attacks without defending and remain virtually unfazed. Her savage style of fighting however made her attacks more obvious and easier to dodge, letting fast foes gradually adapt to her assaults. Another weakness, mentioned only in the manga is that Kale's ever-growing power risked destroying her if she did not calm down. Supplementary material and video games refer to Kale's Legendary Super Saiyan as being her Super Saiyan 2 in comparison to her standard Super Saiyan. In the anime, after further evolving her power in a desire to save Caulifla, Kale was able to harness her power and suppress it into a regular Super Saiyan form that was stable yet unique, regaining her full self-awareness and kind nature. She could then power up from that state into her Legendary Super Saiyan form - but stayed less violent, able to focus on her true goal without going on a rampage. However, without the growing anger from before, the form became even more taxing on her stamina and ki, causing her to revert to her base form and fall unconscious after a beam struggle. Kale also doesn't seem to remember what happens while she went berserk. In the manga, Kale eventually powers up and becomes bulkier in this form while combating Goku and Frieza, her first actions after doing so being to dash past them while rearing her head in pain and exploding a burst of energy that knocks out several of the fighters. In this form, Kale demonstrates the ability to take out many of the fighters in the tournament, including Agnilasa, though at the cost of her berserker mindset attacking her own teammates as well. The official production design for the Tournament of Power arena refers to this form as Kale "turning into Broly" (ブロリー化, "turning into Broly").[10] In World Mission, this form is called Rampaging. In the anime, Kale achieved this form to escape her dimensional prison and save Caulifla from the Pride Trooper's group assault. This came from her self-loathing at not being better when it was most needed and even more from the desire to become better due to Caulifla's belief in her even in a dire situation. In this form, she grows noticeably taller and likewise increases in muscle mass and build; while not nearly as much as her berserker form, she is almost as large as Super Saiyan God Goku in both regards. Her hair is golden with a slight green tint and her aura is the normal golden color. Her hair spikes up and she loses her ponytail and retains visible turquoise irises. This form is Kale's standard Super Saiyan form. In the anime, during her second fight against Goku, wanting to finally fight alongside Caulifla as an equal, Kale unleashed the full power of her berserker form. While initially turning savage again, Caulifla's continued words of encouragement resonated with Kale, enabling her to completely harness and control the capacities of her berserker form. Subconsciously condensing and focusing the power into an even stronger yet fully stable state, Kale became able to use said power as its peak with no loss of her mentality or stamina. This form essentially looks similar to her standard Super Saiyan form, the differences being that her hair color becomes a solid green, and the bang on the right side of her face falls down instead of curling upward. While in this form, Kale was able to hold her own against Super Saiyan God Goku to an extent. This form is only ever referred to as being "true Legendary Super Saiyan" in a next episode preview. In video games, it is always called Super Saiyan 2. Kefla is the product of a Potara Fusion between Kale and Caulifla. As it's not a fusion involving a Kai, the fusion lasts only 1 hour at most, rather than being permanent. In the anime, Originally, she was formed in desperation to defeat Goku, who was overwhelming the pair in his Super Saiyan God form. In the manga, she was formed due to the need to save Kale's life as well as to stop her from being eliminated by the Pride Troopers. Despite being a fusion of Caulifla and Kale, Kefla's personality is seemingly identical to Caulifla's. After being born, Kefla remarks she feels great, displaying Caulifla's overbearing confidence. During her initial scuffle with Goku in the anime, Kefla also displays Caulifla's cocky attitude, calling Super Saiyan God Goku's attacks "lame". Also, Kefla did seem to be genuinely afraid when Goku managed to reactivate his Ultra Instinct Sign against her and the realization of being potentially defeated by him seemed to have made Kefla develop a strong determination towards defeating Goku to the point it appeared she was deliberately trying to destroy him in a fit of rage. Potara Main article: Potara Earrings worn by Supreme Kais and their apprentices. Despite being worn so casually, they have incredible properties, allowing two individuals to fuse or permitting the wearer to use the Time Rings. Kale borrows one of Caulifla's whenever they are going to fuse.
