Here, you can find out all you didn't want to know about the Red Ribbon Army. Take a look, there may be something here you didn't know.
Red Ribbon Army - This army was something that Goku defeated all on his own. The army was controlled by a short man name Commander Red. He was always upset when Assistant Black would stand next to him, because, Black was one of the tallest people that helped him out to control the world. He tried to collect the Dragon Ball's to become taller, but everyone thought he wanted them to rule the world. When Assistant Black found out about the real wish, he shot Red, and renamed the Army to the Black Ribbon Army. However, it was only for a short while, because, Goku just came in to stop them, and, Black lost in a big blast battle.
Commander Red - The main head of the Red Ribbon. He instructed however he wanted in his army to do whatever he wanted. However, he was a very small man. His main purpose for collecting the Dragon Ball's was to become taller. Everyone thought he wanted to control the world. 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 told that whatever Red did was right, 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. 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 RR 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 - General of the Muscle Tower. He took control over Android 8, Monster Buyon, Sergeant Purple, and Sergeant Metallic. 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. But, this was no ordinary gun. This gun contained very powerful bullets. 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 Genki Dama.
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 - A very slick ninja, that couldn't seem to outwit Goku. At first, he tried to throw sharp stars at him, but, Goku saw where he threw him, and, shot back at Purple. Purple then vanished when he threw his smoke bomb on the ground, and, hid behind an American flag. Goku said he was there, and, Purple got made, and turned the sheet around, making it look like a tree trunk, because he was hiding next to a tree. Purple then told him to count to 30, but Goku couldn't count past 18. Goku asked for helped and turned around. Purple was trying to hide under a fake rock, and told Goku how to count again. Goku counted to 30, and, saw Purple under water with a blow stick so he could breath. Goku went and got some hot tea, and poured it down the stick. Purple didn't like that. Purple broke into a run, and, Goku raced after him, keeping no trouble at all, so, Purple threw more sharp stars down, and Goku slowed down. But, Goku put on some shoes that increased his height a bit, and he couldn't feel the stars. Goku then chased after Purple with no problem. All this time, White was watching, and, getting irritated. Now, Purple wanted to fight. So, he went into the air and took a dive after Goku. But, Goku put his Niyoibo under him, and, stuck it in Purple's butt. Then, Goku broke Purple's sword. Purple threw more stars at Goku, and then made a getaway. Goku picked up the stars, and followed Purple into the house. Purple then crouched to the ground, and picked up some tatami flip mats. When Goku threw the stars at Purple, Purple would pick up the mats, and, block the stars. But, Purple ran out of mats and Goku had another star. Purple then got a star to the head. Purple then put another smoke ball down, and, ran for the lake. He put some float shoes on, and, crossed a piranha-infested water. Goku said, no problem, and jumped straight over the lake. Now, Purple did his ultimate attack. He split himself into 5 other people. Goku went into a huge fight, and defeated them all. Now, we enter Android 8. Purple ran into the tower again, and, let loose Android 8. He told 8 to fight Goku, but he refused. Purple threatened to blow him up, and Android 8 said he would rather blow up then die. Goku then knocked Purple out before he could blow him up.
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 in his 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. Frappe - 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. Frappe 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.
Facts: Tao Pai Pai 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 Pai Pai, after being blown up by a grenade. His name means Peach White White.
Black is the only villain that Goku fights in the series. He is a very tall man, and kills Red after finding out he wanted the Dragon Balls to become taller. He is one of the rare African American's that shows up in the series. Although we see other African American's in the manga, he is the main one we see. No, Mr. Popo is not an African American; he is just a creature with black skin.
