While the Saiyans often take the spotlight, there is a hidden power within the non-Saiyan characters that often goes unnoticed - the ability to fly. Characters like Krillin, Yamcha, Videl, and many others have showcased the remarkable ability to defy gravity and soar through the skies, despite not being Saiyans.
The concept of non-Saiyan characters harnessing the power of flight dates back to the early days of the Dragon Ball series, when Tien and Chiaotzu were the first to demonstrate this unique skill. They acquired this technique from their master 'Shen,' setting the stage for non-Saiyan characters to tap into this extraordinary ability.

Unraveling the Mysteries of 'Ki' and Flight
The key to understanding the ability of non-Saiyan characters to fly lies in the concept of 'ki' or 'spirit energy.' This latent energy resides within humans and can be harnessed to achieve incredible feats, including flight.
In the world of Dragon Ball, the utilization of ki allows individuals to defy gravity and levitate effortlessly. This energy is concentrated at the center of the body and can be directed outward to enable flight, a skill that has become a defining characteristic of many characters in the series.
While Saiyans possess a natural affinity for utilizing ki, non-Saiyan characters have also demonstrated their ability to master this technique. Characters like Videl have showcased the rapid acquisition of flight, mastering this ability in a matter of days through focused ki control.

Exploring the Diverse Forms of Ki
Throughout the Dragon Ball series, the concept of ki has been further expanded to encompass different types of energy, each with distinct attributes and characteristics.
One of the primary ki types is 'Genki,' which is associated with individuals who possess pure intentions and appears as a white aura. This type of ki is commonly utilized by Z fighters such as Goku, embodying the essence of goodness and positivity.
On the contrary, 'Jaki' represents the dark side of ki, emanating a purple aura and embodying malevolent intentions. Villains like Frieza harness this sinister energy, showcasing the polarizing nature of ki within the Dragon Ball universe.
The introduction of 'Kami no Ki' in Dragon Ball Super unveiled a new dimension of ki, reserved for godly beings. This unique energy, characterized by a purple or black aura, signifies the divine essence possessed by entities like Beerus, the God of Destruction.
