Naughty Boys Need Love Too The Dragonball Villain Gallery This section is just a little thing to satisfy the DB/Z fan struggling for domination inside of me. Seeing as the internet is pretty much just a glut of porn, nekkid Brittany Spears pics, and Dragonball Z sites, I've decided to keep this short and sweet. But look, if you've seen even one episode of this best-show-ever-made then I'm sure you've picked up on the fact that Toriyama and Toriyama-inspired villains are a world apart from the rest of the universe of villainry. So here goes, the Super Villains (no cronies!) of Dragonball. Note that these pics violate the Home For Cartoon Villains "click-a-pic" rule. I figure anyone who can find this site can find a Dragonball site in his/her sleep. |

King Gurmuru, Dragonball Movie 1 "Curse Of The Blood Rubies" This is what happens when greed takes over your soul. So there are these gems known as Blood Rubies (better than your old run of the mill rubies, of course) that lie in the hillside under King Gurmuru's village. This once-kind ruler becomes possessed with a need to find every single one so he sends his army out to dig them up, uprooting his citizens and treating them like slave labor. As a result of his impassioned greed he turns into this giant, purple monster that exists in agonizing perpetual hunger. He decides the only way to lift this curse is to gather the dragonballs and wish for the dragon to turn him back to normal. Meanwhile he ignores the fact that searching for the blood rubies is what cursed him in the first place and he grows crueler and more demanding. Enter Goku and Bulma in the first of what ends up being 3 different re-tellings of how the two friends met (fun fact: DB episode 1 retells it, as well as DB movie 4 "Road To The Strongest"). They, of course, want the dragonballs for themselves, which puts them at direct odds with this monster. |

Emperor Pilaf, Dragonball Season 1 Whatta nasty! If his gaseous emissions aren't enough to put you under the table, his lack of leadership ability should. With his henchment Shau and Mai he wants to gather the Dragonballs so he can wish for ultimate power. Just witness one of his world-dominating fantisies and you'll get the picture. Unfortunately he runs into a boy named Goku and a girl named Bulma and, well, let's just say it goes downhill from there. Pilaf's got gadgets up the wazoo. He's got his little walking-frog phone, he's got big robotic hands that come out of the ceiling and floor to capture betrayers, and he's got a giant pinball maze that seems to serve no purpose but to torture lost visitors (and prisoners). Not only that, check out his hat! All it needs is a little beanie propeller! Emperor Pilaf was the first to underestimate Goku, and as far as I can tell he's the only one to possess his effluvient powers. |

Lucifer, Dragonball Movie 2 "Sleeping Princess in Devil's Hand" I swear to you, and I never lie, this fellow looks like a Sailor Moon character before his evil side comes out. Anyway, this movie takes place after Dragonball Season 2 and retells the story of Krillin and Goku's battle to become Master Roshi's students. They're given the same challenge in this film as they are in the series, they have to find a beautiful girl for Roshi to... well to harrass and poke at and have nosebleeds over. He sends them out to find the legendary "Sleeping Princess" who is rumored to possess unsurpassed beauty. Along comes Bulma and Yancha and Puar and Oolong, toodling along in their plane in a vain attempt to prevent Goku and Krillin from stumbling into danger. No dice. So anyway the 2 boys and the 4 friends end up interrupting a demonic class-reunion where they discover the "Sleeping Princess" is really a giant gem that the head-demon Lucifer plans to use to destroy the sun. His theory is that once the earth is plunged into eternal darkness all of the demons can come out and take over. Of course, Goku makes it backfire and Lucifer ends up getting fried by his own device. Honest opinion? Worst Dragonball movie of the lot. |

Agent Purple, Dragonball Season 3 Have you ever seen a man with a pole up his butt? If you know Purple then you certainly have. Purple is a ninja under the employment of the Red Ribbon Army, whose super-stealthy ninja abilities are supposedly unmatched. Supposedly because along comes Goku and lookout! He uses his tatami mat attack, his throwing stars, a bunch of twin brothers in a group attack, but nothing seems to stop our little hero. When he goes up for one of his silly leaps goku simply raises his staff and jams it up Purple's... eh... nether region... with some of the funniest results ever in this entire series. Purple runs around making horrible grimaces of pain (and face it, you would too). To add to the hilarity, he keeps banging the pole, sending shockwaves of agony up his spine every time. Of course Goku just stands and laughs. Purple is basically the Mr. Satan (or Hercule in the U.S. version) of the original DB series. Oh, and he's got a collection of girlie mags that would make Master Roshi's nose bleed. |

Commander Red, Dragonball Season 3 This little guy was so great, they brought him back for Movie 4 "Road To The Strongest." Commander Red is head of the Red Ribbon Army. He's behind the organization that eventually spawned the Androids of the Android Saga in Dragonball Z. He's short, impatient, and whimsically dismissive of the lives of his cohorts. One of the best running gags is the repeated execution of Agent Blue, who dies an ignoble death in the series, Movie 3, and Movie 4. Commander Red could give a rat's butt about Goku's friend Android 8 ("Hachan" in the series, 8 Man in the US Manga) who's pretty much an animated Frankenstein, and that's what really puts a bee in Goku's bonnet. Movie 4 shows this friendship and Goku's resulting wrath in a rather touching way. Not to mention it's cute beyond all comprehension to hear Goku say "Hachan! Hachan!" over and over. Oh, and in Movie 4 you find out that Commander Red led the Red Ribbon Army to believe he was gathering the dragonballs for world-domination purposes, but in reality he just wanted to wish to be taller. |

Piccolo Diamoah, Dragonball Season 5?? My knowledge of the animated series gets a little fuzzy here, my knowledge about Piccolo Diamoah comes entirely from reading the manga. And seeing as this saga hasn't been released in America, I had to read the manga in German. But anyway, so there's this guy, a green fellow who wants to be the Guardian of the Earth. But he feels unworthy of the post as long as there is any vestige of evil inside of him. So he purges the evil side and locks it away and becomes the Namek we come to know as Kami. Well this evil side, Piccolo Diamoah, is of course released (remind anyone of the Buu saga?) and he uses the dragonballs to wish for his youth. He then decides the world is his oyster and makes a valliant attempt to take it under his control. As usual, Goku will have none of this and launches an attack at Diamoah, drilling a headbutt right through Diamoah's chest. in his dying breath Diamoah spits up an egg, which later hatches into the Piccolo we know and love from the Dragonball Z series. At this point, Piccolo is still evil. He wants to kill Goku out of vengeance for his paternal unit, and the two of them do battle again. He was such a great character that he was immediately brought back in the first episode of Dragonball Z, he's the first to encounter Raditz (more on him later...) and he's the one who trains Gohan to become the great Sayian that he ended up being. Piccolo's other great semi-villainous appearance was in Dragonball Z Movie 1 "Dead Zone" where he stomached fighting alongside Goku but hurled threats of "you're next" at his advisary. I've got a whole section dedicated to this character, feel free to click on the lefthand sidebar to have a look.
