Scouter
The
scanner (or
scouter) is an instrument in the
fictional manga series
Dragon Ball/
Dragon Ball Z and the
anime Dragon Ball Z, which
Freeza and his people use to measure a life form's power. It also works as a transmitter. During the first fight of Dragonball Z, Raditz (Goku's brother) died, but Bulma came to the scene and found the scouter Raditz had. After about one day Bulma had fixed it and got it to translate from alien language to English.
Radar
Missing imageRadar.gif Dragon Radar
Another scanner in Dragon Ball, is the
Dragon Ball Radar, built by
Bulma, and is used to find
Dragonballs very quickly when compared to conventional methods. In Dragonball Goku broke the Dragonball Radar while fighting General Blue. This is when Arale from Dr. Slump appears. She has one of her friends, also a baby, to fix it. The radar is used in
Dragon Ball and
Dragon Ball Z, but in
Dragon Ball GT, the Dragon Ball Radar is assimilated by the robot Giru, thus giving Giru the ability to find the Dragon Balls.
