 * This article is about the original character. For the character portrayed in live-action by Justin Chatwin, see Goku (Justin Chatwin)

"You honestly think that you are anything like me Goku? A member of my own family killed my parents and my only sister, I was hunted by my own people as a monster and watched the only other person I ever let get close to me die because of my own negligence. No, you're too simple to have anything in common with me. (Theo just before succombing to Babidi's spell)"

Theo Bell is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball CT series. Theo is a defender of Earth and informally advises the Z Fighters. Throughout his life, he trains hard and strives to improve his abilities as a fighter, while at the same time using his amazing strength and skills to uphold peace. He is heavily burdened by the loss of his parents and while the Z fighters often look to him as a leader, he prefers to act more as an adviser and teacher. These qualities make him the perfect example of an unwiling-hero, though not necessarily the perfect role model, due to deep seeded inner demons.

Appearance and Personality
Theo is the main character in the Dragon Ball CT series. With short brown hair and his family's bloody dagger crest that usually is found on his clothes, Theo is known for his intellectual, somewhat reserved personality and his inner struggle with the death of his family. While he tries to always see the good in others, he is not so forgiving for those that hurt the people he loves or threaten what he believes; Theo, for the most part, usually fights to defeat those who harm others, and rarely spares his enemies after defeating them. His staggering power is simultaneously reined in and enhanced by his fierce ethos and intelligence. He has a complicated, practical view of the world and is very well versed to the world around him. Because of this, many characters incorrectly assume him to be somewhat of a know it all, although he is very anxious of his ability to solve problems. His most remarkable ability is his willingness to die to defend what he believes in, pushing himself as far as he can go, and stubbornly refusing to give up even when the odds are stacked against him.

Despite his extensive skills, good-hearted spirit, and intelligence, Theo carries an almost eternally present guilt for his family's murder and has never fully accepted their deaths as something he simply could not prevent. It was this guilt that caused him to become a super saiyan and what allowed babidi to take over his mind.

Even in combat, Theo is shown to not be invincible, as he has two major weaknesses. The first weakness is anger; while he had always held somewhat of a short fuse the death of his parents gave him a serious anger problem, one he would struggle to control for the rest of his life. This weakness was never overcome, and almost got him killed against Buu. On the flipside, however, Theo's aggression has gotten him out of a pickle several times; for example, in the Gero Saga, when pinned by Alpha, Theo was able to summon enough aggression to push the android off of him and critically wound him. The second is his apparent hostility that he desplays in the face of opposing viewpoints; this nearly destroyed Vegeta's willingness to fuse with Goku during the Cell Saga, and has alienated many of his friends in the past.

Theo seems to think much of his parents Don and Carlin and sister, Mady, believing them to be strong, selless people who would have done anything to help him if we asked it when they were alive.
