Characters original to Dragon Ball Legends
Shallot
Shallot (シャロット, Sharotto)
An ancient Saiyan "from before Goku's time", the amnesic Shallot is trying to piece together his past as he participates in the Tournament of Time.
- Affectionate Nickname: Goku calls him "Shall".
- Amnesiac Hero: He suffers from amnesia, and can't remember his name. "Run, Shallot!" is the only thing he can remember.
- Anime Hair: A hedgehog-shaped hair, very similar to the hairstyle Gohan had during the Cell saga.
- Berserk Button: During the story mode, he develops a special bond with Vegeta and Nappa, even obtaining the Super Saiyan transformation after their death at the hands of Freeza. Try to disrespect Vegeta and Nappa and Shallot will be pissed.
- Big Brother Mentor: He becomes Cabba's master in Book 3 in order to teach him the Super Saiyan transformation.
- Big Eater: He shares Goku's voracious Saiyan appetite.
- Blue Is Heroic: He wears a navy blue and black colored Saiyan battle armor and portrayed as a relatively goodwill fighter.
- Book Dumb: He is a bit of a simpleton, having a hard time understanding things like technology. Gero calls him a simpleton, and Zahha calls him a gorilla.
- Cain and Abel: The Abel to Giblet's Cain.
- Composite Character: Shallot takes various cues from classic Dragon Ball characters and often acts as a substitute to them in Legends retelling of events. For example, him avenging the Saiyans and turning into Super Saiyan is taken from Goku, but becoming the master of Cabba is taken from Vegeta.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: A meta example regarding Dragon Ball games, but previous games with original stories had no original protagonists, merely offering blank slates for the player to self-insert and create their own character. Shallot, unlike them, has a personality, motivation, and backstory (although one clouded by amnesia)
- Edible Theme Naming: A shallot is a kind of onion. He shares etymology with the proposed Saiyan name for Vegeta's daughter.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is a bit grumpy, and hates that people constantly annoy him, but is a decent guy. This may or may not be because of his amnesia.
- Kid from the Future: Inverted. He appears to be from the distant past, as the armor he wears is the Sadalan armor worn by the Saiyans before joining Frieza's forces. Not surprisingly, he was summoned for the Tournament of Time.
- The Nose Knows: Shallot's nose is pretty sensitive, and can recognize smells without issue. He can smell Turles's evil intentions from the get-go and had a small freak out when he smells different scents coming from Cell.
- Physical God: He and his twin brother are close descendants of the original Super Saiyan God Yamoshi. They have a special bloodline unique from other Saiyans that allows them to tap into the Super Saiyan God transformation more easily.
- Prehensile Tail: Like other pure-breed Saiyans of the past, Shallot has a monkey tail, which unlike most adult Saiyans he doesn't wrap around his waist.
- Pretty Boy: Shallot is fairly handsome and, unlike many Toriyama-designed Saiyan characters introduced after the end of the original manga, he has a chiselled, muscular figure to go with the good-looking face.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: He shares an eagerness for battle like most of his kind.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Shallot delivers some scathing speeches towards his enemies.
- He calls Turles an idiot that doesn't know what he wants after his rambling wish of a despotic world and his superficial strength. Turles is actually affected by this.
- Repeatedly calls out Frieza on his cowardly, underhanded, selfish tactics, even before the tyrant officially makes Shallot his enemy.
Zahha
Zahha (ザッハ, Zahha)
Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu (Japanese); Joel McDonald (English)
A young magical swordsman from a distant time and place. He is an ally of Shallot and company during the Tournament of Time.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Has turquoise skin.
- Combat Pragmatist: Shown a preference on using sneak attacks and blind sighting his opponents, though he shows a distaste for doing it, he will do it when he deems it necessary.
- Cool Sword: As a dual wielding swordsman, he wields two medieval swords.
- Deadpan Snarker: He is a bit of a snarker.
- Early-Bird Cameo: A extreme close up of his eyes and his swords are seen in the game opening of Legends, roughly a month before his official design was shown to the public in V-Jump and many months before his official introduction in the fully released game.
- Edible Theme Naming: His name derives from the Viennese chocolate cake Sachertorte, which is romanized as Zahhatorute due to its pronunciation.
- Genius Bruiser: He's not the strongest fighter, but quite the smart one, constantly using tactics and using his abilities strategically and constantly trying to coordinate his fellow fighters.
- Ice King: Generally described as having an icy demeanor, yet offers his help to Shallot when they find themselves. They have a Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, to say the least, with Zahha finding Shallot a brute or gorilla, but deep down both trust each other as friends.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He may be distant and cold at times to his allies, but he makes many astute points about the situation around him. He frequently chastises Shallot's bullheaded thinking and often tries to get him to think things through properly.
- Mind over Matter: He wields his swords with telekinesis.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Assuming that Dabura's speculation was correct, Zahha may be from the Demon Realm. Unlike Dabura and other members of the Demon Realm, he has no interest in seeing the world in ruins.
- Mysterious Past: He gives seemingly contradictory hints about his past
- Our Demons Are Different: He is (possibly) an inhabitant of the Demon Realm. He claims that his home planet no longer exists, though other planets presumably exist within the Demon Realm (according to official sources, the Demon Realm is a whole parallel cosmos existing on the underside of the universe, like the flipside of a coin).
- Opt Out: He initially refuses to join Shallot and the others to work on Beerus' behalf on the basis he doesn't quite trust the destroyer god.
- Pointy Ears: He has pointy ears, similar to that of demons and many alien species in the franchise. He is from the Demon Realm.
- Pretty Boy: An elf-ish looking pretty boy of long hair. Bulma finds him hot at some point in the game.
- Running Gag: Him finding Ribrianne gross and annoying, to the point he is the usual victim to her antics.
- Support Party Member: Most of his magic abilities (transporting, healing, illusions, etc.) are used as a way to support his allies, with him relying on his swords and ki to do damage.
The Saiyan in Red
The Saiyan in Red (赤でサイヤ人, Aka de Saiya-jin) Giblet (ジブレット, Jiburetto)
Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (Japanese); Micah Solusod (English)
I'll admit my power can't hold a candle to yours, not as is it now. But know this: I will hunt you. It’s inevitable. The blood of the defeated... the blood of the tainted...both will be expunged from existence! By me! Balance will reign once more!
A mysterious figure who looks like Shallot, wreaking havoc everywhere.
- Alternate Self: Discussed Trope. Beerus and Whis discuss if he could be Shallot from a different era, where he didn't have any amnesia.
- Big Bad: He is the main antagonist of Legends due to wreaking havoc everywhere during the Tournament of Time, and having a personal reason for wanting Shallot dead. However, it turns out that Zahha is The Man Behind the Man and has been manipulating both Shallot and Giblet for his own purposes.Ha ha ha! At last! At long last! I can wring the life out of your filthy body!
- Blood Knight: A common Saiyan trait, he loves to fight. Jaco notices he is a natural born killer.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: At least some of his evil actions were the result of subtle brainwashing from Zahha, though the Dark Ki provided by Zahha only accentuates the darkness that already existed in Giblet's heart, similar to the spell that Babidi uses to control his minions. So, on some level, Giblet always resented Shallot and the evil Saiyans that wiped out his tribe.
- Cain and Abel: The Cain to Shallot's Abel.
- Cryptic Conversation: He does this almost gratuitously, he absolutely refuses to expand on something unless the heroes figure it out or he absolutely feels the need to, which means a lot of his speech can be extremely confusing due to the lack of context.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Like with Zahha, he appears in the opening of Legends roughly a month before his official design was shown to the public in V-Jump, and many months before his official introduction in the fully released game. He is shown back-to-back with Shallot.
- Easily Forgiven: Averted. While Shallot is willing to forgive his brother after he turns over a new leaf, Bardock refuses to forget that Giblet murdered many Saiyans participating in the Tournament of Time. Giblet doesn't blame Bardock for holding this grudge.
- Edible Theme Naming: A "giblet" is a piece of edible organs from a chicken, like gizzards or a heart. This translation, however, is a mistake from the translators, as his name シブレット translates to Ciboulette, the Europoean name for Chives, a vegetable in the same family as onions, making the Punny Name Lost in Translation.
- Evil Twin: Literally, he is Shallot's twin brother.
- Expy: Similar to many movie villains that are inspired by characters from the main continuity, The Saiyan In Red is inspired by Goku Black. Both are mysterious figures who are identical to the protagonist, are introduced wreaking havoc in an city, claim to do things for the greater good but is just an excuse to kill everyone (balance instead of justice, Saiyans instead of mortals) and they have a similar energy to someone else. This is lampshaded by Beerus, who wonders if he is a similar case to Black.
- Fantastic Racism: He has a genocidal hatred for all Saiyans, despite being one himself, which allowed the Dark Ki to take hold of him. This is because modern Saiyans evolved from the "evil Saiyans" of the past who opposed Yamoshi and the other "heroic Saiyans" who were wiped out in an ancient civil war. Giblet refers to the evil Saiyan bloodline as "blood of the tainted", whereas he and Shallot possess the "blood of the defeated".
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a small scar on his jawline, which is the only physical trait that distinguishes him from his brother Shallot. Shallot was the one who gave it to him.
- Heel–Face Turn: At the end of the story, he finally learns the error of his ways and vows to fight alongside his brother for as long as they live.
- Identical Stranger: He looks just like Shallot under the hood, even with a similar armor. Beerus even compares him with Goku Black, and suspects he may be an Alternate Self. The actual explanation, as it turns out, is much simpler: they're twin brothers.
- In the Hood: Dons a red hood over his head.
- Knight Templar: He claims he does everything for the sake of balance by "purifying the blood of the tainted" and putting the Saiyans in the right path. His main methodology involves killing every single one in his path.
- Physical God: He and his twin brother are close descendants of the original Super Saiyan God Yamoshi, which enables them to tap into the power of the red-haired transformation. Giblet is motivated to keep the "righteous Saiyan" bloodline pure from the barbaric "evil Saiyans" of the past (most modern Saiyans, including Goku and Vegeta, are ironically descended from the evil Saiyans).
- Stronger Sibling: Is this to Shallot during the early parts of the story.
- Super Supremacist: As a descendant of the original Super Saiyan God, Giblet sees it as his birthright to be part of a superior caste of Saiyan.
- This Cannot Be!: That Goku was able to attain the fabled Super Saiyan God transformation despite coming from "the blood of the tainted" (i.e. the barbarian Saiyans of the past) flies in the face of Giblet's Super Supremacist attitude that only those with "the blood of the defeated" have the right to become Gods.
- Twin Telepathy: During their climactic battle against Golden Frieza, Shallot and Giblet coordinate their attacks seamlessly without having to say a word to each other. Although they had fought against each other for most of the story, they had also been fighting alongside each other since they could walk, so they have a natural brotherly synergy that can't ever be beaten.
- Unwitting Pawn: His memories were manipulated by the Mastermind in order to make him more hostile towards his brother and the other Saiyans.
The Mastermind *MAJOR SPOILERS*
This mysterious person is the one responsible for the tournament happening in the first place, seemingly with the intent to destroy the world. His true identity turns out to actually be a mirage of Zahha's, who is the TRUE Big Bad.
- Big Bad: The one pulling the strings from behind the scenes. As it turns out though, he was much more hands-on than anyone thought...
- Big Bad Friend: To Shallot. He even admits that he actually grew attached to him after all they've been through throughout the tournament. Still doesn't stop him from stabbing Shallot in the back, or trying to finish him off shortly afterwards.
- False Friend: He admits that the only reason he got close to Shallot was for his plans to work.
- In the Back: How he reveals his true self, much to Shalllot's expense...
- Manipulative Bastard: He erased both Shallot and Giblet's memories prior to sending them to the current timeline, so that his plans could proceed. He also stayed close to Shallot and became his friend to secretly manipulate him even further.
- No-Sell: Once he obtains the Omnificence Crystal, he manages to COMPLETELY nullify Beerus's Hakai technique.
- Not Always Evil: Subverted. While he is initially presented as an example of My Species Doth Protest Too Much, Zahha turns out to be just as evil as any other member of the Demon Realm race that we've met (assuming that he truly is one of them, as Dabura speculates).
- Playing Both Sides: As said, he manipulates both Shallot and Giblet throughout the story, playing them against each other to further his own dark plans.
- Rage Against the Heavens: His dialogue once he obtains the Omnificence Crystal (as well as his dialogue with Zamasu and Beerus) shows that he thinks very little of the Gods and Angels as they allowed his home to be destroyed, and that he believes himself to be above them now.
- Super Prototype: According to him, the Omnificence Crystal was this to the Super Dragon Balls. But he claims that it has surpassed them thanks to the power that it has absorbed from Shallot and Giblet.
