Ruler/Governing Body: The Heeters (De Facto), The Sugarians (Current Residents) Native Race(s): Cerelians, Namekians (immigrants) Current Status: Active (Repopulated by Sugarians)
Environmental & Physical Characteristics
Planet Cereal is a visually striking world characterized by its diverse terrain and unique celestial properties. Unlike the harsh, high-gravity environments of Planet Vegeta, Cereal offers a more hospitable climate for various life forms.
Gravity Level
The gravity on Planet Cereal is comparable to that of Earth, making it an ideal location for the Sugarian race to settle after their own home world was lost. This standard gravity allowed for the effortless integration of various species and technological infrastructures.
Moons & Cycles
Planet Cereal possesses at least two moons. This was a critical factor in the planet’s history, as the presence of a full moon allowed the invading Saiyan Army to transform into Great Apes (Oozaru), leading to the swift and brutal genocide of the native Cerelian population.
Climate & Terrain
The planet features a mix of lush forests, expansive mountain ranges, and deep blue oceans. Remnants of the original Cerelian architecture—organic, stone-based ruins—are still scattered across the landscape, often overgrown by the local flora. The Sugarians have since built modern, highly advanced cities on top of these ruins.
Inhabitants & Culture
Native Species
The primary natives were the Cerelians, a humanoid race distinguished by their evolved right eyes. This biological trait granted them exceptional sniping abilities and the power to see vital points and energy flows in their targets. Additionally, a small group of Namekians lived on the planet in a symbiotic relationship with the Cerelians, bringing with them a set of small, potent Dragon Balls.
Technology Level
The original Cerelian civilization was moderately advanced but peaceful. Following the takeover by the Heeters and the subsequent sale of the planet to the Sugarians, the world saw a massive influx of high-tier technology. The Sugarians live in futuristic, dome-shaped cities equipped with advanced transportation and defense systems.
Key Locations & Geography
Cerelian Ruins: The skeletal remains of the original Cerelian cities. Granolah, the last survivor, lived in a secluded tower among these ruins to remain distant from the Sugarian colonizers.
Sugarian Cities: High-tech urban centers built by the Sugarians. These cities are characterized by sleek, metallic architecture and advanced urban planning.
The Namekian Temple: The residence of Monaito, the last surviving Namekian on the planet. This location housed the two-star Cereal Dragon Balls.
History & Timeline
The Saiyan Invasion
Decades ago, under the orders of Freeza, the Saiyan Army (including Bardock) attacked Planet Cereal. Utilizing their Great Ape forms during a full moon, the Saiyans wiped out nearly the entire Cerelian and Namekian population. The planet was then cleared for the Heeters to broker a deal for its resale.
The Sugarian Era
The Heeters sold the planet to the Sugarians, a race that had lost their own home. The Sugarians rebuilt the world into a modern hub, unaware of the full extent of the genocide that had occurred prior to their arrival.
The Battle with Granolah and Gas
In the Dragon Ball Super era, Planet Cereal became the battlefield for the confrontation between Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah. This conflict eventually escalated into a desperate struggle against the Heeter known as Gas, who became the strongest in the universe through the planet’s unique Dragon Balls.
Notable Residents
Granolah: The sole Cerelian survivor and a formidable bounty hunter.
Monaito: An elderly Namekian who acted as a father figure to Granolah and the creator of the Cereal Dragon Balls.
The Heeters: Elec, Oil, Macki, and Gas, who operated their headquarters and influence from the shadows of this world.
Bardock: Though not a permanent resident, his actions on this planet during the invasion defined its future and spared the lives of Granolah and Monaito.
Planet Cereal stands as a testament to the complex history of the Dragon Ball universe, bridging the gap between the sins of the Saiyan past and the new threats of the present. Whether you are interested in its unique Dragon Balls or the tragic story of its people, Cereal remains a pivotal location in the ongoing saga.
