Granolah

Granolah is the last surviving Cerealian, a race exterminated by the Saiyans under Frieza's orders when he was a child, and the central figure of the Granolah the Survivor arc in the Dragon Ball Super manga. Unlike the Saiyans who found strength in rage, Granolah's power stems from grief, survivor's guilt, and a burning thirst for vengeance cultivated over forty years of solitude.Granolah is the last surviving Cerealian, a race exterminated by the Saiyans under Frieza's orders when he was a child, and the central figure of the Granolah the Survivor arc in the Dragon Ball Super manga. Unlike the Saiyans who found strength in rage, Granolah's power stems from grief, survivor's guilt, and a burning thirst for vengeance cultivated over forty years of solitude.
