Description
Caulifla is a Saiyan warrior from Universe 6, specifically the Planet Salad, who plays a significant role in the Universal Survival Saga of Dragon Ball Super. She is a young woman of slender build and fair complexion, characterized by her long, wild, spiky black hair, narrow eyes with large black pupils, and thin eyebrows. Her typical attire consists of a low-cut magenta tube top, low-set purple harem trousers, long dark grey wristbands, and a pair of pointy dark grey shoes, giving her a distinct and rebellious appearance that has been described as resembling a delinquent or a tomboy.
True to her appearance, Caulifla’s personality is defined by a strong, punkish, and self-assured attitude. Her older brother, Renso, notes her rebellious nature, which contrasts sharply with the rest of her race in Universe 6, making her act more akin to the aggressive and battle-loving Saiyans from Universe 7. Initially, she can appear lazy and self-absorbed; for instance, she showed no interest in joining the Tournament of Power, even after learning that her entire universe’s existence was at stake. Her reluctance only dissolved when Cabba demonstrated the Super Saiyan transformation and hinted at the potential for even greater strength, revealing her core motivation: an obsessive desire for excellence and to become more powerful. Despite her tough exterior, she is not cruel. She cares deeply for her shy protégée, Kale, whom she treats like a younger sister, and she shows respect for powerful fighters like Hit, acknowledging him as the captain of her team.
Caulifla is introduced as a gifted fighter with immense natural talent, considered by her brother to possess even greater potential than he ever had. Her role in the story begins when Cabba is sent to recruit her for Universe 6’s team. After accepting his invitation, she demonstrates her prodigious ability by learning the Super Saiyan transformation almost instantly. Instead of relying on the traditional trigger of rage, she follows Cabba’s technical advice to focus her energy on the space between her shoulder blades, achieving the form with ease. She quickly masters Super Saiyan 2 as well, which she uses to deflect an energy blast from a berserk Kale.
Her key relationships are central to her character. She shares a close bond with her brother Renso, who is a retired member of the Sadala Defense Force. Her relationship with Kale is that of a mentor and big sister figure; she is the only one who can consistently calm Kale down when she loses control of her immense power. She also has a competitive rivalry with Cabba, who is both a teammate and the one who introduced her to higher levels of Saiyan power. In the Tournament of Power, she becomes fixated on fighting Goku from Universe 7. Seeing his power excites her, and she eagerly challenges him, demonstrating a shared love for battle. During their fight, she even shows a knack for learning mid-combat, such as when she unlocks the flawed Super Saiyan Third Grade form, though Goku advises against its use due to its negative impact on speed. Her development culminates when she and Kale use the Potara earrings to fuse into the powerful merged warrior Kefla, forcing Goku to push his limits to defeat her.
In terms of abilities, Caulifla is a master of several transformations and techniques. Her standard transformations include Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, and the bulky, slower Super Saiyan Third Grade. She is notable for being one of the first female Super Saiyans to appear in the series. Her fighting techniques include the Crush Cannon, where she fires rapid red energy spheres, and the ability to use Continuous Energy Bullets. She also possesses standard ki-based skills such as flight, high-speed movement, and the power to generate powerful, red-colored energy waves.
