@@GrahamLopezIV More in depth backstory of characters like Yamcha, Tien, And Krillin Master Roshi and his rival Shen too. Making the RRA a serious threat like Commander reds goal wouldn't be to simply wish for 5 extra centimeters or something goofy like that. More build up to the Piccolo arc which Master Shen will play a pivotal role in. Also making the Ox King, Chi Chi, Launch and Mai ( Emperor pilafs cronie) meaningful characters. I even planned on making Krillin something of a jinchuriki by using the mafuba to seal an ancient turtle guardian creature in him.

If you combine Red and Violet, you get Magenta. So I think the photos on his desk, plus his name sake pretty much is a subtle way of telling us that yes both Red and Violet are Magentas parents.

@drswag0076 8 месяцев назад

if that is the case then one of two ways this can happen. either Magenta was already born and Violet went on to raise him or she was already pregnant with him and after everything she carried him to full term and when he learns who is father was and what happened, he swore revenge. either way, Violet robbing the vault was probably due to either Magenta already a part of her life or she found out she was with child and wanted the baby to have a good life. all while Red didn't know that he was going to be a father or he did but kept it to himself or Violet never told him.

For real General Blue and Mercenary Tao were such a wake- up call back then. I don't think I seriously had the impression Goku could be killed before then, let alone by most of the Red Ribbon stooges.

@BBBHuey Год назад

Officer Black is also somewhat inspired by the now controversial children's tale "Little Black Sambo", a story about a young boy escaping four tigers from devouring him by giving each of them a piece of his clothing with a specific color. He gets them back after the tigers fight about which color is better and chase eachother around so fast that they become butter. I never really saw Black himself as controversial. As far as how the Red Ribbon Army was mostly portrayed, he was the most serious and intelligent of the lot. I always wish he was more featured in fighting games.

@LittleAl016 Год назад

I imagine some of the controversy comes from the blackface caricature. Which is considered as a racially offensive way to depict black people.

@BBBHuey Год назад

@@LittleAl016 Personally, I'd argue that it would've been far more offensive if Black acted like a submissive clown rather than having a racially offensive face.

@oneeyedgrayfox5887 Год назад

Its a trash and lazy depiction on toriyamas behalf. He's done this depiction with Mr. Popo too. He's trash, no other ethnic group in dbz is depicted in a offensive way. Safe to say He's a bigot in my opinion. Like Dbz but it's creator is trash. Zero excuse. He doesn't do this to Caucasians, native Americans, etc. Don't make excuses cause you like the content. Toriyama is trash.

The donut lip thing is what people specifically black people have an issue with, It’s like drawing all of my asian characters with buck teeth or extremely slant eyes to the point it looks closed.

It's interesting just how powerful and influential an organization the Red Ribbon Army was. Anime only, but during the King Piccolo arc King Furry is mocked by the demon king for not having maintained world peace.

1. I'm fairly sure you get the color magenta by combining the colors red and violet so I'm going to assume Magenta's parents are Red and Violet. She probably dumped him because he was too short or maybe she got with him in order to figure out the secret location of the treasure or just to get a chance to be close to it. 2. Even though you only talk about Dragonball on this channel, this is the second time you taught me something about One Piece. I didn't know the word "okama" was a slur. I honestly never really bothered to look it up but I assumed through context. I just never thought it was a slur. I feel a little disgusted and guilty now, although I've never used that word other than to reference Ivankov's group. 3. As always, great job on the content, man.

Absolutely phenomenal coverage! Although I had seen some of the Freiza saga back in the 90s as a kid, I didn't get back into DBZ until the early 2000s somewhere in the Cell saga. I first saw/heard about Red Ribbon via the logo on Androids 19 and 20. Such a simple design but it just seemed like the most badass thing to me back then. I always wondered who Red Ribbon was but was kinda put off by the enormous amount of DB lore there is. I love how silly it seems, even the inclusion of anthro characters, but then when I first saw the designs of Androids 17, 18 and 19 I just knew they would be terrifyingly serious threats to the Z Fighters. In any case it's beyond sad that Akira Toriyama is gone. Never really clicked with me back then that he did a lot of the art from Crono Trigger, still one of the best RPGs ever made

Considering they have an awesome theme song, a great gimmick, and seem incredibly powerful on their own they almost come out of a different show with how serious they seem to be at first actually killing civilians and being cutthroat. It's funny though like you said that really they're comedic in the sense of early dragon Ball where they are certainly a joke to Goku who just plows through them like it's nothing, which shows how dangerous Goku is he's not even taking them seriously but also how again if it was a different story they would be a huge threat. However, because Goku is basically invincible to them the Red ribbon army is dismantled single-handedly by Goku. But man that iconic double r red ribbon it's so awesome I'm so glad that toriyama decided to use it again for the Android saga

@@jasonone8726 Obviously. But either way, I wonder why he's one of his "favorite characters in the entire franchise" ? Colonel Silver is, for all intents and purposes, a jobber to introduce the RRA.

He is the Raditz of the RRA.

@Duduh_Doh 9 месяцев назад

Because I grew up with the original Dragon Ball series, one of my favorite (somewhat forgotten) characters was Colonel Silver of the Red Ribbon Army. Although he has a small influence in the series, he had a certain personal impact. Perhaps one of the reasons why I remained attached to him was the way he left the scene. leaving his fate uncertain and the possibility of a comeback that never happened. I believe it is one of the few situations in which the anime did a better job than the manga. In addition, the character has an interesting design, somehow unique to the Dragon Ball universe, it resembles Cowboy Bebop. He is inspired by Rubeus from Sailor Moon 😅

In the flashback, Mercenaries Tao is referred to as General Tao, and the narration makes it sound like he was actually the leader of the Red Ribbon Army. And I saw that way before I saw any of the episodes of the original Dragon Ball series.

I liked the revial red ribbon army movie more than I thought but what kinda bothers me is how Geros grandson was able to make Gamma 1 & 2 and Cell Max as strong as they were especially since he didn't have Geros data to work on, OG cell makes sense why he was as strong as he was with the DNA of multiple strong fighters as his base but it seemed like the grandson made them all from scratch, no dna gathering like Gero nor his research to expand upon. It just baffles me how a normal human smart or not is capable of making something that powerful seemingly from scratch

It's called lazy writing. Unless Doctor Gero somehow had a stash of notes, research material and preserved dna hidden somewhere for his grandson or the Red Ribbon Army to find, it wouldn't make sense otherwise.

As for the MegaMan connection it makes sense, after all rockman is the blue bomber (a character that charges a beam/blast and fights robots). An apt antagonist for the blue bomber would logically be a red ribbon army that uses color themed antagonists and robots/robot master. Dr.gero looks very similar to Dr. wily
