Z Fighters

The term itself is never used in the series (and the characters involved most certainly wouldn't consider themselves a 'team'), but it is used by fans and in promotional material and episode titles for the series. The term most commonly used when the characters refer to themselves is the Earth's Special Forces.

The term is first used to describe the main characters during the Androids Saga, though it is generally meant by fans to indicate the rough teams from the beginning of Dragon Ball Z.
