Mask

The most prominent use of masks in Dragon Ball lore comes from the Time Breaker organization led by Towa and Mira. These villains placed specially designed masks on captured warriors to convert them into mind-controlled soldiers. Bardock, Goku's father, was one of the most notable victims. After being sent to the past by Frieza's attack on Planet Vegeta, Bardock was captured by Towa and fitted with a Time Breaker mask that suppressed his personality and placed him under her command. In this state, he served as a powerful enforcer until the mask was eventually broken.

The Crimson-Masked Saiyan

Super Dragon Ball Heroes introduced the Crimson-Masked Saiyan as a mysterious antagonist whose identity was concealed behind a distinctive red mask. The character's hidden identity became a central mystery of the storyline, with the mask serving both as a narrative device for maintaining suspense and as an in-universe power enhancement that altered the wearer's combat characteristics. Xeno Vegeta, Xeno King Vegeta, Broly, and Xeno Paragus have all appeared in masked forms across various Heroes storylines, demonstrating how widely the mask technology has been applied as a tool for creating new antagonists from existing characters.
