{{Nihongo|'''Saibamen'''|{{Ruby|栽|サイ}}{{Ruby|培|バイ}}マン|''Saibaiman''|lit. "Cultivation Man"}}, called '''Cultivars''' in the [[Viz Media|Viz]] translation of the manga, are green, humanoid creatures that grow from a planted seed placed in the ground. The bulbs are stored in a special liquid prior to their use by a [[Saiyan]]. In ''[[Dragon Ball Fusions]]'', they are considered part of the '''Alien''' race.

==Biography==
===Background===
[[File:DragonBallZSpecial19.jpg|thumb|left|A Saibaman lunging at Kid Vegeta]]
Saibamen exist in the [[Demon Realm]], where the Great Witch [[Marba]] once owned them in such plentiful numbers that she used to sell them to "outsiders".<ref name="DBDep9">''[[Dragon Ball Daima]]'' episode 9, "[[Thieves (episode)|Thieves]]"</ref> In [[Universe 7]], Saibamen are native to a planet away from Planet Vegeta and evolved from plants. The Saiyans discovered them and realized their value as a weapon. They are extremely rare and valuable since harvesting their bulbs is difficult; few Saiyans are able to handle them since they are wild and may attack their handler.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DP8e0KsVwAA-tpd.jpg|title=Toriyama Saiyan interview part 3|work=pbs.twimg}}</ref> Saibamen were also created by a [[Saiyan]] scientist using biotechnology.<ref name="Daiz7">''[[Daizenshuu 7]]'', 1996</ref> The Saibamen alien life-forms were also modified using biotechnology.<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu]]'', 1992, [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EzquYhMVoAQwKzz?format=jpg&name=medium strategy guide]</ref> They made their way into the [[Frieza Force]] through the Saiyans, and were then used after they learned how to understand orders.<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi]]'', 2005, Saibaman Character biography</ref> They became a common tool of the Frieza Force, which frequently used Saibamen in training exercises for warriors, as shown when a young [[Vegeta]] effortlessly defeated five Saibamen at the age of five.<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku]]'', 1990</ref> They were also used as portable battle warriors to provide additional man-power for the Frieza Force, as shown with their usage against the heroes.

The Saibamen possess only enough intelligence to understand orders given to them by their leaders; thus, they will never revolt. Those in use by [[Nappa]] and Vegeta are a more advanced model developed in [[Age 737]], and their [[Power Level|power level]] is 1,200.<ref name="Daiz7" />

At one point, Vegeta and Nappa deployed their Saibamen conquer a planet named [[Tritek]]. The Saibamen suffered significant causalities, and only 6 survived. It is noteworthy that this battle was never mentioned in the original Japanese version.<ref name="DBZep22">''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' episode 22, "[[The Darkest Day]]"</ref>

====Vegeta Saga====
{{Main|Vegeta Saga}}
[[File:SA6.jpg|thumb|Saibamen laughing]]
On [[Earth]], Vegeta orders Nappa to plant their last six Saibamen (each with a power level close to [[Raditz]]'s) during the fight against the [[Dragon Team]] to test their power.<ref name="DBZep22"/> Vegeta orders them to attack [[Piccolo]], [[Gohan]], and [[Krillin]], but halts when [[Tien Shinhan]], [[Chiaotzu]], and [[Yamcha]] arrive on the battlefield. Vegeta thinks it will be fun with six Saibamen versus the six of them, calling it a game. Piccolo gets mad that he thinks this is a game and doesn't want to fight on their terms. Piccolo says that they will fight them all at once. Krillin tries to calm him down, since this will allow them to buy time for [[Goku]] to arrive. Tien volunteers to go first, and Vegeta sends out a Saibaman. 

Tien defeats the Saibaman with surprising ease, much to the Dragon Team's joy and Nappa's shock. Vegeta quickly [[Dirty Fireworks|destroys]] the Saibaman for underestimating Tien and reminds the others to go all out. Krillin volunteers to go next, but Yamcha volunteers instead, explaining that Krillin has already been returned to life by the Dragon Balls once, and he cannot be brought back again. Yamcha seemingly defeats the Saibaman after an equal fight, but it uses the [[Saibaman Bomb]] in order to kill Yamcha at the cost of its own life.<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' episode 23, "[[Saibamen Attack!]]"</ref> Enraged by Yamcha's death, Krillin destroys three of them with the [[Scattering Bullet]]. The last one was killed by Piccolo's [[Explosive Breath Cannon]] after stopping the Saibaman from attacking Gohan.<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' episode 24, "[[The Power of Nappa]]"</ref>

{{main|Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2}}
[[Dr. Gero]] creates a cadre of multi-color clone Saibamen that Dr. Gero calls the '''[[Saiba Rangers]]''' (or '''Saibamen Rangers''' sometimes), which are a parody of {{w|Super Sentai}} and/or {{w|Power Rangers}}). There are five of them, which are colored red, blue, green, yellow, and pink.

===''Budokai Tenkaichi 2''===
{{main|Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2}}
In [[Fateful Brothers|Raditz's what-if story]], Raditz is unable to defeat Piccolo in their first encounter (unlike in the main ''Dragon Ball Z'' story) and is forced to summon the aid of a Saibaman, but his Saibaman turns on him and self-destructs, causing Raditz to lose his memory of his Saiyan Heritage (just like Goku did), thus setting in motion the events of the whole what-if story.

===''Dragon Ball Online''===
{{main|Dragon Ball Online}}
In [[Age 1000]], Saibamen can be found as one of the hostile species living on Earth (likely brought there by remnants of the [[Frieza Force]]) and their species has even evolved/adapted into a several different sub-species.

===''Dragon Ball Fusions''===
{{main|Dragon Ball Fusions}}
{{Quote|Battle pawns created by a Saiyan scientist. They are grown from seeds planted in the ground. They explode, too!|''[[Dragon Ball Fusions]]'' character profile description}}
After learning how to recruit new allies from [[Master Roshi]], Tekka's Team can return to Area F1 of the [[Timespace Rift]]. If they approach the floating island that the base of Korin's Tower sits, Saibamen will start popping out of the ground, surround Tekka and his teammates forcing them to fight against a team of Saibamen. After defeating the Saibamen, Tekka's team will notice another Saibamen pop out of the ground however it does not attack and the robot-clerk [[Ziku]] manages to translate the Saibaman's vocalizations which reveal that it considers Tekka to be its new master, allowing Tekka to recruit it. After the Saibaman is recruited, it will join Tekka's team (allowing it to be selected as playable character) and will appear in the Team's Spaceship.

Additionally, the game introduces [[Saibaking]], a top grade Saibaman created from multiple Saibamen fusing together via an unspecified technique. Unlike other Saibamen, Saibaking is depicted as far more intelligent and capable of speaking the common language. Inside the Timespace Rift world, Saibaking becomes the leader of the Saibamen, which would eventually lead him to confront Yamcha who had been hunting Saibamen to avenge his past loss and death during the Saiyan conflict. In spite of leading a large group of Saibamen, Saibaking is defeated by Tekka's Team, forcing Saibaking to retreat, though not before swearing revenge. Afterwards when they encounter Saibaking again, Tekka's Team can convince him to join them by KO'ing him with a Zenkai Attack. Like with the other Saibaman they recruited, Saibaking can then be selected as a playable character and will appear on the Team's Spaceship.

[[Saibaman]] and [[Chiaotzu]] can also fuse via [[EX-Fusion]] to create the [[Earthling]]/Saibaman hybrid fusion, [[Chiaoman]].

===''Xenoverse 2''===
{{main|Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2}}
{{Quote|Saibamen are incredibly convenient little creatures to have around. They'll do anything you ask, so long as it's simple enough. Sometimes they're more helpful than my own worthless soldiers.|[[Frieza]] talking about the usefulness of Saibamen in ''[[Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2]]''}}
During [[Chronoa]]'s training tutorial for the [[Future Warrior (Xenoverse 2)|Future Warrior]], Saibamen appear as opponents. However just as they finish with the training, more Saibamen show up, forcing the Future Warrior to guard and then counterattack with Super and Ultimate Skills.

Later on, a Saibamen appears in the Ajisa District and appears to have come there to make a request to help Vegeta, which grants the Future Warrior access to ''Parallel Quest 14: Saiyan Pride''. When the Parallel Quest is completed, the Saibaman will appear to be quite pleased with the results or will appear to be sad if they fail the quest.

While training under Frieza, he will comment on how convenient Saibamen are as they follow orders without question as long as they are simple enough and sometimes prove even more useful than his own men.

===''Dragon Ball Legends''===
{{Main|Dragon Ball Legends}}
During the Tournament of Time in [[Age 780]] after the [[Tournament of Power]], Saibamen are among the various aliens from different eras, timelines, and other universes to participate in the tournament. This is partially due to there being no prohibition against the use of [[Saibamen Set]]s thus they are utilized by members of the Frieza Force and remnants of the Saiyan Army. Additionally, [[Mercenary Tao]] is able to acquire a set from an alien soldier he encountered, allowing him to deploy Saibamen as underlings. 

Upon being awoken by [[Future Trunks]] (who experienced the events of the [[Broly Saga (Dragon Ball Z)|DBZ Broly Saga]]), the protagonist [[Shallot]] and Future Trunks are attacked by a group of Saibamen. Future Trunks convinces Shallot to help him fight them off, suspecting he is a Saiyan like his father due to his [[Tail]]. After defeating the Saibamen and surviving an encounter with [[Broly]] who ends up killing Future Trunks, causing [[Super Saiyan Full Power]] [[Goku]] (DBZ Broly Saga) who arrived to help to tell Shallot to flee. Shallot ends up being confronted by another Saibaman, who he refuses to run away from, though fortunately Krillin and Yamcha arrive and help him defeat the Saibaman. After Shallot befriends Bulma (Pre-Emperor Pilaf Saga, Youth) and [[Jaco]] (present era), he faces off against Saibamen and Combatants who deploy Saibamen as they travel around Earth. 

Eventually, Shallot ends up trying to rescue Gohan (Kid) from some Saibamen, though requires the assistance of the mysterious magic user and swordsman, [[Zahha]] as Shallot let his guard down. Eventually Raditz (Saiyan Saga) shows up revealing the Saibamen are his and that he's been searching for his nephew and brother in order to take revenge on them as he is from the period right before his death. Though Piccolo arrives to save Gohan, he is badly injured by Raditz who had since overcome his weakness by training his tail. Fortunately, Shallot and his allies escape through the use of Zahha's [[Locational Phasing Spell]] which teleports them to safety. After Beerus arranges for Shallot, Zahha, and Gohan (Youth) to receive training from Vegeta (Pre-Saiyan Saga), they are tasked with knocking down Nappa, who offers to train them if they manage to do so. After failing, the three decide to do some training of their own, though Zahha prefers to train alone through meditation. Fortunately, a failed [[Sneak Attack]] by Mercenary Tao with his [[Dodon Ray|Full Power Dodon Ray]] convinces Zahha that it is better for him to training alongside Shallot and Gohan. They manage to defeat Mercenary Tao and his Saibamen underlings, though Zahha suggests that they focus on fighting other Tournament of Time participants to grow stronger rather than sparring with each other, which leads them to challenge Tien and Chiaotzu to a friendly match after they apprehend their former mentor and force him to apologize. After completing their training, they are able to knock down Nappa who agrees to train them. 

Nappa's training consists of a gauntlet of battles against the Saibamen which acts as endurance training to build up their stamina and resilience. However, Vegeta eventually forbids Nappa from wasting anymore of their Saibamen, leading to them facing Nappa himself. After completing their training under Nappa and Vegeta, they are finally strong enough to defeat Raditz, whom they discover has gained immense power through a mysterious [[Dark Ki]]. Ultimately, Raditz is killed, and Shallot ends up being recruited by Beerus as a member of [[Team Beerus]] that seeks to uncover the identity of the true mastermind behind the Tournament of Time who has also kidnapped [[Shin]] to extort Beerus, Whis, and King Kai into to setting up the Tournament of Time. Team Beerus and their allies encounter Saibamen throughout the rest of the tournament. Additionally, Saibamen also appear as rival competitors during [[New Cell]]'s [[Super Cell Games]]. The [[Organization of Babidi]] and [[Mastermind's group]] also deploys Saibamen under the influence of [[Dark Ki]]. Eventually it is revealed that Zahha was the Mastermind the whole time who was secretly working as a double agent to manipulate Shallot into fighting his twin brother [[Giblet]] in order to complete the prototype [[Super Dragon Ball]] called [[Omnificence Crystal]], the fragments of which had been placed inside the brothers as Zahha is the one responsible for Shallot's amnesia and Giblet's murderous actions as the Saiyan in Red due to the Dark Ki amplifying his hatred and jealousy towards Shallot and crusade against the modern descendants of the evil Ancient Saiyans responsible for their subspecies' extinction. 

Mercenary Tao also continues to employ Saibamen as underlings, though unfortunately they make the mistake of attacking the [[Shadow Dragon]] [[Nuova Shenron]] (one of Zahha's allies as the Shadow Dragon's goal of destruction aligns with Zahha's plans to destroy Universe 7 with the Omnificence Crystal once he has gathered enough [[Kili]] to do so as the Crystal can grant any wish provided it is supplied with enough energy). Disgusted by Mercenary Tao's underhanded tactics, as well as the weakness of Tao and his Saibamen, Nuova Shenron kills Tao and his Saibamen underlings.

===''Kakarot''===
{{main|Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot}}
[[File:Kakarot - Saibaman.jpg|thumb|A Saibaman in ''Kakarot'']]
In ''Kakarot'', Saibamen start appearing as regular enemies on Earth after Gohan and Yamcha's Battle with the Saibamen which leads to Yamcha's death by Saibaman Bomb (called Self Destruct in the Z-Encyclopedia). During the Intermission after the Saiyan Saga, Kaiwaremen also start appearing. Additionally, King Kai asks Gohan to investigate an evil ki signature near his house and encounters a group of Super Villainous Saibamen attacking a farm not far from Goku's House. Gohan defends the local Earthlings from the Saibamen whom he defeats. Other types of Saibamen start appearing as the game progresses. Each Saibamen type has its own Z-Encyclopedia entry. Additionally, the Saibamen seeds and growth liquid used by Nappa are named [[Saibamen Set]] which appears as an entry in the Z-Encyclopedia as well.

During the ''Sub Story'': "''Mysterious Power Reading''", Bulma tells Gohan that she's detected a high-power level with Raditz's Scouter and asks him to investigate as it is too powerful for the likes of Master Roshi. Gohan agrees and she directs him to the crash site of Raditz's space pod in East Ravine. There he finds three Saibamen and decides to take them out before they can cause any trouble. After defeating them, he finds a [[Carrot|High-Quality Carrot]] near the crash site and collects it before returning to Bulma. At the Capsule Corporation, he tells Bulma what he found and wonders what the Saibamen were doing there. Bulma surmises Raditz's space pod had a Saibamen Set stored inside it which got scattered near the crash site when Gohan broke free of the space pod to protect his father. She also suspects the Saibamen Set's growth supplement also got spilled on the vegetables near the crash site explaining the High-Quality Carrot that Gohan found indicating the growth liquid effects non-Saibaman plant life. After the Sub Story is completed the Saibaman Soul Emblem and "'''Secrets of the Saibaman 1'''" section of the Z-Encyclopedia's Saibaman entry are unlocked. The Secrets of the Saibaman 1 explains how the Saibamen were developed by Saiyan Scientists for the Frieza Force and in addition to their use in conquests that they also made convenient training partners for Frieza's Army.

During the Intermission after the Frieza Saga, Kaiwaremen and Kyukonman start appearing in the West Forest Area in the Sacred Land of Korin. Additionally, during the ''Sub Story'': "''Attacked Villager''", the [[Kooky Cook]] from Keilin Village is attacked by three Lvl 32 Kaiwaremen on the wooden bridge up the road from Goku's House. If Gohan is the party leader, this triggers the Sub Story where Gohan defeats the Kaiwaremen attacking. After rescuing her, Gohan suspects that like the wolves that normally attack her, the Kaiwaremen were likely attracted to the food and ingredients she was carrying, indicating that Kaiwaremen may eat solid food, though he does nnot specified what specifically it was that they were after due to his unfamiliarity with the biology of Saibamen and their variants (thus it is unclear if they are carnivorous or omnivorous like the Saiyans that created them). 

During the Intermission after the Cell Saga, Kyukonmen appear in the area of Mount Paozu near the hunter who talks about [[Deer|Giant Golden Deer]] attacking the Kooky Cook like the Kaiwaremen did previously. This leads to the ''Sub Story'': "''Frequently Attacked Villager''", where [[Super Saiyan Full Power]] [[Gohan]] must once again come to the cook's rescue. All three Kyukonmen are at Lvl 56 (one level higher than Super Perfect [[Cell]]), though as long as Gohan is close to their level, they will pose little threat to him as he can overpower them using his Super Saiyan 2 form. After the fight, the cook fails to recognize Gohan due to his growth spurt and the blonde hair of his Super Saiyan Full Power state (which he maintains further acclimate his body to it as part of his post Cell Games training). After clarifying his identity, the cook wonders why the Kyukonmen attacked her, though Gohan suggests they were once again attracted to the food she was carrying; However she wonders if there is another reason for their behavior, causing Gohan to suggest they view her as an easy meal ticket, indicating they may either see her as food or a source of it, which may be due to their artificial nature as they may simply look for sapient lifeforms to supply them with food (though, it is also possible they attack her simply because they are territorial or they attack humans indiscriminately).

==Power==
A Saibaman's power depends on the quality of the soil it is planted in.<ref name="BoZ">''[[Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z]]'', 2014</ref>

;Manga and Anime
[[Nappa]] states that the Saibamen grown using [[Earth]]'s soil have power levels of 1,200, which according to him means they each rival [[Raditz]].

;That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha
The [[Yamcha (Reincarnated)|Reincarnated Yamcha]] is stronger to the point he is able to defeat six Saibamen and even survives a [[Saibaman Bomb#Variarions|Combined Saibamen Bomb]] from multiple Saibamen.

;Statements by authors and guidebooks
The current Saibamen in use are a strengthened model in comparison to the original naturally occurring ones. Toriyama said when speaking of the Saibaman that "their battle power is considerably high, at a level slightly inferior to Raditz".<ref name="Special">{{cite web|url=http://www.kanzenshuu.com/guides/battle_power/guide/dbz-anime-special.png?x80919|title=Akira Toriyama’s Saibaimen Memo|publisher=Kanzenshuu|language=Japanese}}</ref>

They possess as much strength as a low-level [[Combatants|warrior]].<ref name="Daiz7"/>

The movie pamphlet for ''[[Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might]]'' states that they have power levels of 1,300.

;Video Games
The Earth-grown Saibamen's power level of 1,200 used in several [[List of Dragon Ball video games|''Dragon Ball'' video games]].

In ''[[Dragon Ball Fusions]]'', Saibamen are classified as C-Rank fighters which like in the main series puts their strength on par with Raditz who is also C-Rank. Interestingly, both Saibamen and [[Saibaking]] are classified as C-Rank, though Saibaking is a C-Rank fusion.

In ''[[Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2]]'' Frieza notes that Saibamen can sometimes be more useful than regular Frieza Force Combatants, presumably due to the fact that they have no problem sacrificing themselves to kill their enemies (a trait Frieza would value as he has no qualms about sacrificing the lives of his subordinates) and the ease of replacing them due to them being the byproduct of biological engineering. 

In ''[[Dragon Ball Legends]]'', initially Shallot has trouble defeating grops of Saibamen on his own, though fortunately the assistance of Super Saiyan Future Trunks (DBZ Broly Saga), Super Saiyan Goku (DBZ Broly Saga), Krillin, Yamcha, and [[Zahha]], Shallot becomes strong enough to hold his own against them especially after going through Nappa's Endurance training through battle after battle against the Saibamen. Additionally, Raditz's Saibamen are shown to be strong enough to threaten Gohan after his training under Piccolo. However, Raditz is revealed to be stronger than them as he had grown stronger through his battles in the Tournament of Time, having trained his tail to overcome his weakness, and being under the influence of the [[Dark Ki]]. While the Saibamen employed by Mercenary Tao are implied to be stronger than him, they follow his orders due to him being the one who planted them. Additionally, Saibamen under the effects of the Dark Ki are much stronger thanks to the empowerment which also amplifies their aggressive and evil tendancies. 

In ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot]]'', Villainous Saibamen are stronger than their normal counterparts though they are still no match for Gohan during the Intermission that occurs after the defeat of Vegeta. Additionally, Super Villainous Raditz is implied to be stronger than Villainous Saibamen as his power along with Super Villainous Nappa's is enough to cause King Kai to make note of it and even warn the Dragon Team that they are dangerous and to be on their guard. During the Cell Saga Intermission, the three Kyukonmen that Gohan fights to protect the Kooky Cook, are all one Lvl higher than Super Perfect Cell implying they may be on par with or stronger than him, though the three are no match for Gohan in either his Super Saiyan Full Power and Super Saiyan 2 forms.

Depending on the quality of the soil he is planted in, a Saibaman's power varies.<ref name="BoZ" /><ref name="Kakarot">''[[Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot]]'', 2020</ref> The bottle containing the seeds and growth supplement was named Saibamen Set in ''Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot'' and the growth supplement can effect non-Saibaman plant life such as [[Carrot]]s.<ref name="Kakarot"/>

|-|Forms and Transformations=
;Super Saibaman
[[File:Super Saibamen.png|thumb|A trio of Super Saibamen flaring their auras]]
A different type of '''Super Saibamen''' than the ones encountered in ''Harukanaru Densetsu'', sporting their own golden [[Super Saiyan]]-like auras, appear in ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot]]'' as the leaders of a legion of lesser Saibaman infesting [[West City]]. They are powerful enough to catch the Z Fighters' attention and conceal their ''ki'' signatures to launch their surprise attack but are no match for them. After their defeat, the lesser Saibamen flee. Gohan finds that the Saibamen had swallowed [[Senzu Bean]]s whole, which he speculated might have had a different effect on their bodies as beings not from Earth.

;Villainous Mode
{{Main|Villainous Mode}}
In ''[[Dragon Ball Xenoverse]]'', Saibamen are granted the first stage Villainous Mode by Towa during the Saiyan conflict in Age 762. This makes them stronger than they were historically forcing the Time Patrol to send the Future Warrior to assist the Dragon Team against them. Additionally, their Saibaman Bomb ability becomes powerful enough that a single blast was able to kill both Yamcha and Tien.

;Villainous
[[File:DBZ Kakarot Tutorials Villainous Enemies (Saiyan Saga Main Story - Stop the Saiyan Invasion Episode 4 - ''Freedom!'').jpeg|thumb|left|Villainous Enemies Tutorial depicting a Villainous Saibaman in ''Kakarot'']]
In ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot]]'', Saibamen can be empowered by Towa which grants then a powered-up state similar to Villainous Mode. In this state, they gain a crimson red and black aura of Evil Ki and are stronger than they would be normally. However, Gohan is still able to defeat them indicating they are only slightly stronger, and they are outclassed by Super Villainous Enemies such as Super Villainous Raditz and Nappa.
{{-}}

;Supervillain Power!
{{Main|Supervillain}}
In ''Xenoverse 2'', Saibaman can take upon the Supervillain empowered state which increases their power while shaving off some of their life span, causing their eyes to glow pink and produce a sinister black-white aura. This form is playable in Training and Crystal Raid Battles via the '''Saibaman 2''' Skillset (due to it having [[Brainwash Attack]] equipped as a Super Skill). Additionally, they can also be encountered as a boss in Raid Quest: "''From Dust to Dust''".

;Dark Ki
{{Main|Dark Ki}}
[[File:DB Legends Part 7-Book 6-Chapter 2-The Bonds of Friendship Zangya, Thouser, Combatants, Tennenman, & Kaiwareman (Mastermind's group - Dark Ki).png|thumb|DRK Tennenman & DRK Kaiwareman under the influence of the Mastermind's Dark Ki in ''Dragon Ball Legends'']]
Several Saibamen were brainwashed in ''[[Dragon Ball Legends]]'' by [[Babidi]]. They were massively powered-up and surrounded by a dark aura. After the death of Babidi at Giblet's hands, the remaining Saibamen fall under the control of the [[Mastermind]], save for the Saibamen employed by Mercenary Tao who are later killed by the Mastermind's ally [[Nuova Shenron]].

;Ultra Fusion
{{main|Ultra Fusion}}
By performing Five-Way Fusion, Saibaman can fuse with four people to create an Ultra Fusion. If Saibaman initiates the fusion, the the resulting Ultra Fusion will be a male Alien Ultra Fusion with green skin.

|-|Equipment=
*'''[[Future Trunks' Sword]]''' - A sword once used by Future Trunks to kill Frieza. Used by the '''Saibaman (Swordsman)''' playing the role of Future Trunks in ''Dokkan Battle'' as part of the ''SaiBai Battle'' April Fool's 2017.
*'''[[Metamo-Ring]]''' - A device developed by Bulma within the [[Timespace Rift]] that allows two beings to fuse while both are wearing one while performing the Fusion Dance. Used by Saibamen to perform EX-Fusion with Chiaotzu. Also used by Saibaman to perform EX-Fusion with Tekka and [[Freeform Fusion]] with various characters in ''Dragon Ball Fusions''.

In ''Kyōshū! Saiyan'', three types of Saibaman appear.

In ''Super Saiya Densetsu'', six types of Saibamen appear.

In ''Idainaru Son Goku Densetsu'', a Saibaman appears in a cutscene.

In ''Super Gokuden: Kakusei-Hen'', their Japanese name is spelled 栽培マン.

In ''Budokai'' story mode, the Saibamen appear as non-playable characters. In this game, their names are misspelled as '''Saibaimen''' during cutscenes and battle. They are created to serve the same purpose as the originals in the manga and anime: testing the strength of the Z Fighters. However, the story is altered for the game: Nappa grows the Saibamen after Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaoztu arrive on the battlefield instead of before; as soon as one of the Saibamen emerges from the ground, it almost immediately uses its Saibaman Bomb on Yamcha and Piccolo finishes off the Saibamen by himself before facing Nappa. Piccolo must fight all six Saibamen, despite one of them using its self-destruction technique on Yamcha earlier. The Saibamen appear one after another when the player defeats one of them, and they are given low health and a limited moveset to make the fight fair (this concept is later reused for the [[Cell Jr.|Cell Juniors]] when Super Saiyan 2 Gohan has to fight them during the Cell Games portion of the game). The techniques in their move set are '''Gatling Carrot''', '''Pumpkin Crush''', and [[Acid]].

In ''Sagas'', along with regular green Saibamen, there are large blue muscular-Saibamen (either '''Elite Saibamen''' or '''Saibabrutes'''), as well as red Saibamen, yellow brown Saibamen similar to the Kyuukonmen, and purple Saibamen similar to the Tennenmen (able to summon other Saibamen).

In ''Harukanaru Densetsu'', along with the regular type, a stronger type of Saibaman appears, called '''Super Saibaman'''.

In ''Scouter Battle Taikan Kamehameha - Ora to Omee to Scouter'', there are four types of Saibamen: green Saibamen and white Saibamen with a power level that is 1,200, and red Saibamen and black Saibamen with a power level that is 1,440.

In ''Attack of the Saiyans, five types of Saibamen appear.

In ''Dragon Ball Online'', Saibamen appear in a large variety of forms. They can display [[insect]], [[spider]], [[crab]], [[turtle]], or [[snake]]-like forms.

[[File:Dokkan Battle Mass-Produced Soldier Saibaiman card (April Fool's 2017 SaiBai Battle Saibamen).jpg|thumb|Mass-Produced Soldier Saibaiman card featuring the ''SaiBai Battle'' team of Saibamen from ''Dokkan Battle'']]
In ''Dokkan Battle'', Saibamen are called '''Saibaimen''' in the global version. If a Team Deck has an empty slot, then Saibamen will fill in the empty slots thus allowing the player to have Saibamen in their deck by default without a Saibaman character card. However, these default Saibamen are weaker than normal Saibamen cards which can be leveled up like other cards. Regular Saibamen cards have low rarity as they can only be raised from N to R. However, they are easy to obtain and come in all 5 card Types (AGL, STR, PHY, INT, and TEQ). Kyuukonmen also appears as a random enemy in Story Event "''The Low-Class Warrior: Raditz's Pride''" which gives more EXP when defeated in Stage 2. Additionally, Copyman appears as the default training partner if no card is selected as a Training Partner (Copyman has no effect on training and simply acts as a stand-in opponent though a Training Locations and/or Training Item must be used to be able to spar against a Copyman). On April Fool's 2017, there was an April Fool's joke where the ''Dokkan Battle'' title screen was altered to a mock title ''SaiBai Battle'' and the screen was altered to replace Goku, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Gohan with Saibamen in their place mimicking their poses with the Saibamen representing Future Trunks equipped with [[Future Trunks' Sword]] while the Goku stand-in takes a Kamehameha like Goku did on the screen their mimicking. Additionally, as a login bonus, players could receive a special '''Mass-Produced Soldier Saibaiman''' card which features the Saibamen from the mock ''SaiBai Battle'' screen as a team. The card's Super Attack is '''Saibaiman Assault''' in which the Goku stand-in fires a Kamehameha at the opponent, then after the wave hits the Vegeta and Gohan stand-ins rush attack from both sides, before the Future Trunks stand-in performs a [[High Strike]] with Future Trunks' sword knocking them to the ground, where the attack is finished by several Saibamen dropping down on the opponent while using [[Saibaman Bomb]].

In ''Extreme Butōden'', the Sabiamen are assist characters.

In ''Dragon Ball Fusions'', a powerful Saibaman called [[Saibaking]] appears as one of the game's antagonists. He is a top grade Saibaman created by the [[Fusion]] of multiple Saibamen.

In ''FighterZ'', '''Saibamen''' appear as one of Nappa's Super Attacks, which allows him to grow a Saibaman to attack the opponent. Saibamen also appear in a special opening cutscene that occurs when Nappa and Krillin are selected as leaders and face each other on the Rocky Field stage, which re-enacts Krillin's [[Scattering Bullet]] attack on Nappa and the Saibamen, which Nappa dodges while the Saibamen are all killed. Saibamen also appear in two different Dramatic Finishes, both of which involve Nappa and Yamcha fighting in the Rocky Field stage, with one defeating the other with a Neutral Heavy attack. If Nappa defeats Yamcha in this manner, a Saibaman will appear and perform Saibaman Bomb to kill Yamcha, who is then seen sprawled out on the ground in exactly the same manner as he was in the Vegeta Saga, in which he was killed by the same token. Nappa proceeds to call Yamcha weak for losing to a Saibaman. However, if Yamcha is the victor, Nappa will be knocked back, only to recover as a Saibaman attacks. This time, though, Yamcha is ready. He counters by firing a Kamehameha at the Saibaman, who is knocked into Nappa and explodes, killing them both. This also causes Nappa to take on Yamcha's death pose from the Vegeta Saga. In this purely hypothetical scene, Yamcha effectively avenges his own death and defeats Nappa in one fell swoop.

In ''World Mission'', Saibamen appear as enemies during Chapter 2 of Story Mode in ''Sub Chapter 1: An Anomaly?! The Saiyans Strike!''.
