Are there several others saiyans alive?


In the anime Vegeta insisted the only saiyans alive were him, Nappa, Raditz,
Goku and Goku's son Gohan. Later we found out that Vegeta's brother Tarble was
alive (in the case this is canon, by the way, Vegeta never mentioned him
before) and recently that Broly and his father Paragus too. But in Dragon Ball
Minus which seems to be canon

Does this mean there are several others saiyans alive?

I take no credit in writing this. I just found out that both the question and
the answer in this link answers this question.

  * **Opinion**

I think there are definitely more Saiyans around but I imagined after Frieza
destroyed the planet, teams were sent to find remnants of the race. Like when
they defeated Bardock's group but looking for lost Saiyan children instead.
Some were found, some were not (like Goku).

There are definitely more out there but most are probably too distant to come
across. It does leave things open ended for more Saiyan encounters.

I would also think that there are a lot of hybrids out there. I have a feeling
saiyans weren't taking a moral high ground about rape.
