    The Z-Fighters are Earth's first defense against evil. Many of the Z-Fighters were once enemies or rivals of Goku (Piccolo was one of Goku's greatest opponents in Dragon Ball, Yamcha and Krillin were his rivals, etc.).

    The Z Fighters are not officially organized in any way, because it is simply a group of super fighters who share the same interest of protecting their home. However, they all stand together whenever possible to fight off enemies. Goku is the de facto leader of the group due to his incredible success rates. Hercule also calls them "The Golden Warriors" for the hair color of their Super Saiyans members.

    All of the Z-Fighters were present when Raditz, and afterwards, Nappa and Vegeta came to Earth, and many of them died protecting it. Krillin, Yajirobe, Gohan and Goku were the only surviving Z-Fighters after the Saiyan Saga.

    In the Frieza Saga, Piccolo was wished back to life on Namek to fight Frieza. Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha decided to stay with King Kai and train. Krillin was killed by Frieza, triggering Goku's Super Saiyan transformation.

    After the Frieza Saga, the human Z-Fighters were proven not as capable as the Saiyans and became minor characters, giving advice and training the more powerful characters from time to time. Krillin and Piccolo were the only non-Saiyan Z-Fighters to still be two of the major characters.
