Red Ribbon Army
Red Ribbon Army - first appear in
Dragonball trying to find the Dragonballs at the same
time as Goku in the earlier parts of the Dragonball
series. In result of searching for the Dragonballs
they send a wave of fear and destruction through the
world as they searched for the Dragonballs. The RR
Army's plan was to wish for world domination. The army
was controlled by a short man name Commander Red.
Commander Red had said that wish for the Dragonballs
so the RR Army would do it, yet he secretly was going
to wish to be tall. When Assistant Black found out
about the real wish, he killed Commander Red, and took
control of the army, re-naming it to the Black Ribbon
Army. Soon after Goku destroys the entire RR Army,
killing Black with it.
» Commander Red - The
original commander in the Red Ribbon Army, he is very
short. He is thought to have wanted to Dragonballs to
wish for World Domination, but really wants to wish to
be taller. When Assistant Black found out about the
real wish, Black got mad, and shot Red in the head,
thus, he renamed it to the Black Ribbon Army.
» Assistant Black - Red's
right hand man. Black usually just stood around and
said exactly what Red wanted to hear, although, he
really hated his job. He was a very tall black man,
who made Red very mad every time he stood next to him
because of how much shorter Red was. When Black found
out about the wish that Red really wanted to make, he
shot him dead in the head, and, renamed the army to
Black Ribbon Army. Goku fought him in Black's metal
suit, but, Goku killed him, by going
straight through the suit, thus, making it explode.
» General Blue - One of the
high-ranking officers of the Red Ribbon Army. Although
he was very strong, he was also gay. He had a special
technique that he could paralyze people, where they
couldn't move, thus, Blue could go into an attack and
defeat them. He chased Goku around a lot to find the
Dragon Balls. He also fought a lot of other people to
get away and go back the RRA HQ. When he got to the
HQ, Red looked on his dragon radar and saw that he
missed a ball where he was. In the Dragon Ball series,
his death was to fight Tao Pai Pai, and, lost by Tao
sticking his tongue on a pressure point on his head.
In the 10th Anniversary movie, his death was execution
by some low level privates. They dragged him in a room
and shot him to death.
» General White - In charge
of Muscle Tower, he commands Android #8, Sergeant
Metallic, Sergeant Purple, and Monster Buyon. He had a
Dragon Ball that Goku wanted, and, he also hurt many
people in the village outside of the Tower. Goku
didn't like that, so he went to go fight him. After
Goku had defeated every person in the tower, he went
after White. White had the mayor held captive and
threatened to kill the mayor if need be. Goku didn't
move one bit, but he was the one that got shot
anyway.. After Goku fell, White tried to fire again,
but Android 8 blocked it. Android 8 went into a rage
and charged White. He then blew White out of the
tower, sending him to a snowy grave.
» General Copper - Although we
don't see him in the manga, he controls Captain
Yellow, Captain Violet, and Captain Silver. He
commands them all to find the Dragon Ball's, so he
could take them back to Red, and get all the credit.
» Captain Yellow - We see him
briefly in the manga and anime, but he goes around
trying to find the Dragon Ball's for General Copper.
That is basically all we see him do.
» Captain Violet - We see her
briefly in the anime, but, never in the manga. She
gives a Dragon Ball to General Copper, and, is never
seen again.
» Captain Silver - The first of
the high-ranking officers that Goku fights. This is a
very short fight. Silver let his guard down
completely, because, he didn't know Goku had a lot of
strength. After Goku defeated Silver, he got a Dragon
Ball and ran off. Silver then told Copper what
happened, and, saw he was heading north, so, he told
Copper to tell White in Muscle Tower to be ready for a
very strong boy.
» Android 8
- The first of the Androids we see in the series. He
is ordered to fight Goku under Sergeant Purple's
orders, but refuses. Purple threatens to make him
explode if he doesn't, but Android 8 said he would
rather die than fight. Goku couldn't bear to see this
so, he knocked out Purple. Android 8 was so happy; he
gave Goku the Dragon Ball he stole. They then went up
the muscle together, fighting monster Buyon and
General White. He got very mad at White, when he shot
Goku, and Goku didn't get up. He then hit White so
hard; he went straight out the tower's wall and fell
into the snow. Android 8 went to go live with the
mayor, and, is seen briefly again at the end of the
Buu saga, giving some of his power to build the
ultimate Spirit Bomb.
» Monster Buyon - A very fat and
giggly monster. He is located in the secret fifth
floor of the muscle tower. When Goku was on the fourth
floor with Android 8, Goku asked what was on the fifth
floor. Android 8 said there was no fifth floor. So,
they went to General White. White then opened a hatch
to a very dark fifth room with the monster Buyon. Goku
tried every way possible to kill him. He blasted a
Kamehameha at him, but, it went right back at Goku.
Goku tried hitting him, but Goku just fell back. The
monster almost ate Goku, but he got an idea. He
remember how cold it was outside, and how it made him
frozen. He blasted a Kamehameha at the wall, and a
blast of cold air came in, and froze Buyon. He then
punched Buyon, and flew straight to the sixth floor.
» Sergeant Purple - Even though
he is smart, he loses to Goku in a fight. After the
fight he tries to unleash Android 8 upon Goku, or he
would destroy Android 8. Android 8 refuses, and Goku
knocks out Purple before he could do anything.
» Mercenary Tao - Tao is a
deadly assasian, who lives for money. He is hired by
Commander Red to emilinate Goku. The first time they
fight Goku is defeated. But after Korin's training
Goku mops the floor with Tao. He returns at the 23rd
Tenkaichi Budokai as part cyborg, but is beaten again
by Tenshinhan. He returns in the Cell Saga. He is
hired by a rich coward who is forcing people to build
a protective dome against Cell. Gohan shows up to put
a stop to this, and when Tao realises who Gohan's
father is he runs off.
» Sergeant Metallic - Goku went
into a huge fight with this enormous robot. Goku tried
all he could to fight him, but, metallic was so hard,
Goku kept getting numb hands. Metallic went into a
charge on Goku, and Goku used his Kamehameha to blow
him away. But, Metallic just lost his head and a
little bit of his clothes. Goku didn't know what to
think. Metallic went after him again for one more
attack, but, stopped before Goku could attack. Goku
just left him and went to the fourth floor.
»Dr. Flappe - The original creator of the
androids. In the anime, Akira Toriyama added this
doctor into the story, just to have another hostage
for Purple. But, you have to remember, Dr. Gero was
years off before Akira was thinking of the Cell saga.
But, all Dr. Flappe did was stick around, be a
hostage, and leave.
»Dr. Gero - THE original creator
of every android, and a very pissed man at Goku. He
devoted his life to get back at Goku for destroying
his creations. We see him as Android 20 in the Cell
Saga.
» Hasky - A master thief who is
occasionally employed by the Red Ribbon Army. She has
made a career out of doing the impossible. After she
accepts a job, her abilities are such that not even
the tightest security can stop her from making off
with her prize. Once more, she has accepted a
lucrative, lofty assignment from Commander Red: steal
the Dragon Balls and get rid of Goku!
NOTE: Mercenary Tao is not part of the Red
Ribbon Army, although he does take part in it. He was
just an assassin for hire, and, took the job. Although
he got paid and did his job, Goku did destroy Tao,
after being blown up by a grenade.

Androids 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, New 17, Super 13, and Super 17:
All androids are created by Dr. Gero, who later on
becomes one himself (Android #20). Though only android
#8 is truly a member of the orriginal RR army, all
androids share the same objective: the destruction of
Goku. Ironically, the exception is android #8, who's
programming was flawed and didn't like to fight, who
becomes friends with Goku. Androids #16 and #18 also
turn 'good' in DBZ. |
