In the Budokai series and Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, it is called Viral Heart Disease and is a special capsule item that can only be used by equipping in the "custom" menu in the character selection screen.

It is unknown if the Heart Medicine Goku used to cure it was ever developed in the main timeline it is also never mentioned whether anyone other than Goku suffers from the Heart Virus as they did in Trunks' timeline. It is never explained why or how Goku contracted the virus six months after his alternate timeline counterpart, though it was presumably one of the many side effects created by the time distortions from the use of Future Bulma's Time Machine by Future Trunks and/or Cell. Ten days later, the virus is successfully cured, and Goku is finally recovered and re-joins the fight against the androids and the new threat, Cell.Ĭhi-Chi is worried about Goku suffering from the Heart Virus Goku is saved from death by Vegeta and taken home by Yamcha to receive the antidote.

Senzu bean android#
One major change is that Goku does not contract the heart virus when he was originally supposed to, but instead it appears several months later during his fight with Android 19 on May 12, Age 767, although he technically felt heart palpitations and chest pains just as he was about to set off with Gohan and Piccolo some time before the actual fight, and became more breathless when Goku, Piccolo and Tien Shinhan led Android 19 and Android 20 from Gingertown to Gizard Wasteland. However, his presence in the past causes history as he knows it to change drastically. In the main timeline, Future Trunks arrives from the future and gives Goku the antidote to the Heart Virus (the virus is incurable when Goku first gets it, but a cure is developed soon afterward it was just too late for Goku) after telling him about the Android threat and that he will die of a heart virus prior the Androids' arrival. Goku holding his heart area due to the virus Six months following his death, the androids appear and murder all of the Z Fighters, with the exception of Future Gohan and the Z Fighters are unable to be wished back to life, due to the Dragon Balls being permanently unusable due to Future Piccolo's death, which also kills Future Kami, thus sparking the events of Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks. Unfortunately, Future Goku is one of the people who died from the Heart Virus and cannot be wished back to life with the Dragon Balls, due to his death being a natural cause. In the Japanese version, the disease was considered incurable.īiography Future Trunks' timeline įuture Trunks mentions that many people succumbed from the virus in his future timeline. The method by which a person contracts the virus is never confirmed. While it was never confirmed, Piccolo speculates that the virus might be contagious and advises Yamcha to take some of the medicine himself after carrying Goku back to his house. The Heart Virus is able to overpower even a pure blooded Saiyan's strengthened immune system and will eventually kill them, provided they do not receive Heart Medicine in time to cure them of it. The only known way to cure this virus is with the Heart Medicine which was developed in Future Trunks' timeline at some point after the death of Future Goku. Senzu Beans will not stop this virus or even slow it down. As the infection progresses, the victim starts experiencing excruciating chest pains until eventually, they succumb to the virus and die. When Goku first felt the symptoms of the Heart Virus, he was out of breath just flying away from the island where the Androids appeared. Turning into a Super Saiyan also hastens the virus' detrimental effects.

When one is infected with the Heart Virus, symptoms include severe malaise and fatigue. No specific name is given to the "Heart Virus".
