Universe 3: Successful Saiyan Rebellion

U3 alters the circumstances behind the death of Bardock; obtaining his ability of foresight in a different way, he and his team warn the rest of the Saiyans about Frieza's plot. As nobody believes Bardock, he defeats King Vegeta in combat and becomes king of the Saiyans, ordering them to prepare an ambush against Frieza. Frieza is disintegrated by a hundred Oozaru ki blasts before he can change out of his base, weakest form, and Bardock is hailed as king, but it's implied the Saiyans were killed by Dr. Raichi afterwards. The fighters in this universe are Bardock note , Dr. Raichinote , Tapionnote , and Demon King Piccolo note .

     Bardock 

Bardock

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bardock3_color2_506.png
"I saw your future... and I know who you'll lose to."
  • Abusive Parents: Outright admits that he was a terrible parent when U13 Raditz calls him out on being the reason for all of his problems. Bardock tells Fasha earlier on that he has no use for weaklings, referring to his children, and when he saw Kakarot's low power level, was quick to dismiss him as a failure.
  • Action Dad: As a Saiyan, this is par for the course.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: To become King, Bardock fought his way to the top. Then he averts it, handing off the throne to Hanasia but ensuring he and Vegeta Sr remain as her trusted advisors.
  • The Atoner: Bardock gives off this vibe; he mentions to U13 Raditz that he saw the error of his ways and those of the Saiyan race.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Despite his Character Development, Bardock still falls under Babidi's control.
  • Cassandra Truth: None of the other Saiyans believed that Freeza would destroy them. Bardock's solution? Overthrow King Vegeta, become the new King, and order an assault on Freeza. It works.
  • The Chessmaster: After destroying Freeza and helping lead the Saiyan empire, over the years and guided by his predictions, Bardock turns into a smug version of this.
  • Combat Pragmatist: He takes full advantage of the Saiyans' Oozaru forms by having the Saiyans who can create false moons. He orders them to stay untransformed and replace destroyed moons as needed while hiding. Despite it being called a cowardly tactic, it works.
  • Fatal Flaw: His over-reliance on his visions, and his tendency to take them at face value.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Was sliced in half by Gohan's Maxi-Kienzan.
  • Hypercompetent Sidekick: After stepping down as king, Bardock and (former) King Vegeta were the brains behind the Saiyan throne, coming up with all the plans and doing all the administrating. When made a Majin by Babidi, his ability to see the future makes him an invaluable servant and he spends all his time at Babidi's side, advising him. It's implied Bardock was the one who came up with the idea of Majinizing U16 Bra.
  • Ignored Expert: Just like in canon, no one believes Bardock when he says Freeza is coming to kill them all. So he forcibly becomes King to make them believe.
  • Klingon Promotion: As per Saiyan tradition, after defeating King Vegeta, Bardock takes the throne, becoming the King of the Saiyans.
  • Last of His Kind: In U3, Bardock is the last living Saiyan. The rest were killed by Dr. Raichi.
  • Loophole Abuse: Bardock steals the throne from Vegeta through a Klingon Promotion, which had the downside of informing everyone present that that is a viable method under Saiyan law. Luckily, according to tradition a new king gets a week to recuperate, meaning that by the time Bardock can be challenged again he'll have already taken the fight to Frieza.
  • My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Bardock states that he knows that the Saiyans brought about their own end with their bloodthirsty and cruel ways. Still, they were his people, and he feels that Raichi must pay for their destruction.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He has a vision of Broly going mad and killing the rest of the Saiyans, so he works with Vegeta to outsmart and kill Broly. This allows Raichi to absorb Broly's ghost, giving him the means to eradicate the Saiyan race.
  • Noble Fugitive: Due to Dr. Raichi killing every other Saiyan but Bardock managing to escape, hiding for all these years, the man qualifies.
  • Older Than They Look: Still looks the same despite being at least eighty.
  • Prophecies Are Always Right: Word of God has said that every one of Bardock's tournament visions will happen at some point.
  • Prophetic Fallacy: Bardock sees Cold in a healing tank in a vision and confidently assumes he's going to win their match. The vision does happen... but as a result of Bra defeating Cold, not him.
  • Psychic Powers: And, given how the visions hit Bardock at the most inconvenient times (such as mid-battle), they're about as useless as the TFS versions.
  • Seers: Gained the power to see the future from an alien he killed.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Officially, the name is "Bardock", but Multiverse uses "Baddack".
    • Averted in other languages where his name is correctly written as Bardock.
    • The change is due to the French version using "Baddack", because it's closer to the romaji (バーダック, Bādakku)
  • Took a Third Option: Instead of taking the canon route of U18 Bardock (as we know from the movie), Bardock actually listened to the words of the last living Kanaasan, and even killed him as the man instructed, giving him foresight in a different way, which ensured he wasn't on Meat when Dodoria came to call. And instead of running blindly back to Vegeta screaming "THE FROST DEMONS ARE COMING!", he immediately went to King Vegeta and tried to persuade him; when the King didn't listen, Bardock defeated him and took the throne to carry out his mission.
  • Rags to Royalty: Bardock starts out as a low-class warrior clawing his way up in Saiyan society, eventually his power is strong enough to be considered among the Elite. By the end, he's defeated King Vegeta, and, as Saiyan tradition dictates, taken his throne as the new Saiyan King, in order to defend the Saiyans against Freeza.
  • You Can't Fight Fate: Averted. Bardock fought fate and won spectacularly.
    • Averted when it comes to Broly, because he foresaw he would go nuts and kill everyone, so he plotted to get him killed... And this leads to him becoming Raichi's greatest asset, ending up killing the whole Saiyan race.
  • Warrior Prince: Once he was The King of all Saiyans and in the modern day Bardock is still more than capable of kicking ass.

     Hanasia 

Hanasia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/new_canvas_9058.png
"Perfect. I'll train my baby to kill. He'll be ready."
  • Action Mom: As a Saiyan, this is a given, but Hanasia is this in spades. She is Raditz and Goku's mother, and like any Saiyan she lives to fight, willingly flying up into space, raiding Freeza's ship, attacking Dodoria and destroying the top of the ship entirely as an Oozaru.
  • Affably Evil: For a mass-murdering space pirate, Hanasia, much like Bardock, was very laid back most of the time. She was even portrayed as an oddly supportive mother for a Saiyan, rebuking Bardock's assumption that Kakarot would be weak just because of his low power level at birth.
  • A Fate Worse Than Death: Hanasia's soul is currently one of the "Ghost Warriors" under the control of Dr. Raichi, and she was used specifically to slaughter the entire Saiyan race in U10.
  • Blood Knight: And she loves every minute of it.
  • Canon Foreigner: She is an original character to Multiverse who actually pre-dates the appearance of Goku's canon mother, Gine.
  • Character Development: Both positive and negative. When she first appears in the first U3 special, Hanasia seems to be an excitable woman and fairly supportive mother; at least she's confident enough in her children to believe they can become strong no matter what power level they are born with. She also seems to act first and think later, such as when she charges into Freeza's ship without thinking, and destroys the top of it as an Oozaru. When she later reappears as a Ghost Warrior, she's shown to have mellowed considerably, taking the rational route in a fight, but when Kakarot is killed by Hirudegarn, she calls him a "useless fool".
  • Genocide from the Inside: Not of her own free will, but Hanasia, as a Ghost Warrior helped kill all of the Saiyans, and actively killed her U10 relatives.
  • Half The Woman She Used To Be: The result of a very brutal Curb-Stomp Battle delivered by an adult Broly.
  • Identical Stranger: Hanasia's design bears resemblance to the only other pure-blooded female Saiyan other than Fasha shown; a Saiyan woman with a knife in her mouth, shown in a filler flashback by Kaiō when he was explaining the Saiyans to Goku.
  • Instant Expert: As a Ghost Warrior, Raichi can upload whatever skills he wishes into Hanasia and she will learn it within milliseconds.
  • One-Woman Army: As a Saiyan, she naturally qualifies. As a Ghost Warrior, Hanasia killed the entire U10 Saiyan race by herself.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: She is one of the strongest of her race. Unfortunately, she eventually becomes this compared to Broly, Vegeta and eventually her mate Bardock, all three of whom became Super Saiyans.
  • Pregnant Badass: She sparred with Gurkin sometime prior to the series... while pregnant with Kakarotto.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Goku's family is an odd thing; as much as he has his father's hairstyle and general build, Hanasia seems to be where he gets his complexion and also his face, unlike Raditz, who seems to have inherited his father's face and complexion but his mother's wild hair.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Hanasia seems to be a lot like Fasha, who in fact gets about two or three appearances in the chapter where Hanasia debuts, and only two of them speaking roles.
  • Tempting Fate: When Hanasia, Bardock, and a doctor were discussing where to send Kakarot when he was born, and they suggested Earth due to the low power levels, Hanasia agreed, believing Goku wouldn't possibly meet the strongest masters on his first day there. It's even lampshaded, showing a picture of Son Gohan right after this statement.
  • Theme Naming: Like all Saiyans, she shares the vegetable/plant theme naming they have, Hanasia being some kind of aloe. Her name is actually a double pun, however, as "Hana" is Japanese for "flower".
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: By the time the Saiyans killed Freeza and his empire, Bardock had overthrown King Vegeta. Hanasia was thus the Queen of the Saiyans and delivering an utter asskicking upon Freeza's men.
  • Warrior Prince: As Bardock's mate, Hanasia was essentially this.
    • Then she becomes Queen on her own steam.
  • World's Strongest Woman: By her own admission, Hanasia was the strongest Saiyan on Vegeta at the time of Freeza's attack, stronger than even Bardock, her husband, and Vegeta, the King. This title is contested however, by Gurkin, but given that Hanasia was pregnant the last time they had an official match, and her power level is mentioned as being 12,000 (Bardock's power level was mentioned as approaching 10,000 in the official movie, and this was stated as close to King Vegeta, who could be assumed be to 11,000 at most), so there could be some truth to her claim. The fact that she's Goku's mother, a Saiyan who was born with insane battle potential, doesn't hurt this claim either.
    • Further confirmed when she actually becomes Queen of the Saiyans and Bardock decides to abdicate in her favor.
    • However, she ends up getting surpassed by Broly (who kills her easily without even having to transform), Vegeta and Bardock (both of whom unlocked the Super Saiyan transformation).

    Kakarot 

Kakarot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/06k_5298.jpg
  • Butt-Monkey: Whenever U3 Kakarot appears, he is going to die. U13 Vegeta absolutely destroyed him.
  • Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Kakarot in U3 had the normal upbringing of a Saiyan, and his mother Hanasia made sure she trained him from birth. Before the boy could even walk, his mother instilled her badassery into him. What makes beating up her child hilarious? The fact that it all happened offscreen and every time we saw mother and son together, she was dangling the boy by his tail while he was passed out.
  • Instant Expert: As a Ghost Warrior, Raichi can upload whatever skills he wishes into Kakarot and he will learn them within milliseconds.
  • Richard Nixon, the Used Car Salesman: The main joke of his appearances; instead of the greatest warrior in the universe, he's a low-class warrior considered second to Raditz.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: As Bardock had overthrown King Vegeta in order to save the Saiyans from Freeza's destruction, both Raditz and Kakarot are technically Saiyan Princes.
  • The Unfavorite: It would appear this way; while Bardock never liked either of his children, Hanasia appeared to favor Raditz over Kakarot when they were fighting Hirudegarn, as she called him a "useless fool", but gave Raditz cautionary advice with a motherly smile.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Whenever Goku appears in a different universe, we're given some new perspective on him; in U3, he appears as a baby but it's barely anything we haven't seen from canon. When he appears later as a Ghost Warrior, alongside his mother and Raditz, he's the first to die, we don't even see his personality. Raditz fights longer than he does.
  • Warrior Prince: As Bardock became King and then Hanasia the Queen, Kakarot would have attained this position. Averted when Broly, then Vegeta, becomes King.
  • The Worf Effect: As awesome and Godlike as Goku from U18 is, Kakarot from U3 was dispatched easily by Hirudegarn with a stab of its tail to his stomach.

    Raditz 

Raditz

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/246j_155.png
  • Adaptational Badass: Unlike the Raditz from U18 or any of the other universes, as a Ghost Warrior, Raditz actually appears to be a capable fighter, and is the last one left against Hirudegarn when it rampaged in Raichi's lab.
  • Affably Evil: Much like both his parents, U3 Raditz appears to be far more relaxed than U18 Raditz. Freeza not destroying his race, and thus growing up with both his parents probably had something to do with this.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: As a child, Raditz was quite often teased because of his low battle potential, despite being the son of an Elite warrior.
  • Indirect Kiss: When Raditz plays the ocarina to tame Hirudegarn, he makes note of this since his mother had been playing it just a few minutes prior.
    Raditz: Urk! It's as if I indirectly kissed my mom!
  • Instant Expert: As a Ghost Warrior, Raichi can upload whatever skills he wishes into Raditz and he will learn them within milliseconds.
  • In-Series Nickname: According to Bardock, "Weakling Raditz". This nickname does nothing to match his Badassery against Hirudegarn.
  • Manchild: Raditz gives off this vibe; unlike any other Raditz from the other universes, U3 Raditz is shown to be much more carefree and easygoing. He even mocks the rest of the Saiyan Ghost Warriors after they were swiftly killed by Hirudegarn, teasing and laughing at them despite the seriousness of the situation, as well as childishly expressing his disgust of the thought of an "indirect kiss" with his mother.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: As Bardock had overthrown King Vegeta in order to save the Saiyans from Freeza's destruction, both Raditz and Kakarot are technically Saiyan Princes.
  • Slashed Throat: How King Piccolo kills him.
  • Warrior Prince: Since Bardock is King, and then Hanasia the Queen, his sons are princes. And since all Saiyans are warriors, you get Warrior Prince. Averted when Broly becomes King.

    Broly 

Broly

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u3_broly.png
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Averted in this incarnation, since Bardock acknowledged Broly right after becoming king, knowing he would need Broly's latent power to defeat Freeza. He ends up making it as far as King of the Saiyans.
  • Ax-Crazy: Even without Goku's crying, he's a hyper-violent sociopath. He kills his own father For the Evulz by destroying the world he was fighting on while Paragus was still planetside, spends his years growing up by flying across the universe and destroying everything in his path, and after splitting Hanasia in two with a Slasher Smile and becoming king he proves to be an extreme Mood-Swinger prone to butchering people at the first sign of provocation. It's also why Bardock conspires against him, as he foresees that Broly will go completely nuts and turn on his own people in the end anyway.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Broly actually becomes King once he becomes an adult and comes back to challenge Hanasia.
  • The Berserker: Like his U20 counterpart, but with a twist.
    • He might have been a little more sane thanks to having a proper childhood, but he was still used as a One-Man Army, left to roam the universe in order to avoid chaos on Planet Vegeta.
    • He crossed paths with Cooler and King Cold, utterly destroying them, and awakening his LSSJ state in the process, so this was not a trick from Raichi.
  • The Caligula: As King of the Saiyans, Broly is this. Given he is an exemplar of everything Saiyans represent, he actually fits in nicely.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Vegeta manages to kill Legendary Super Saiyan Broly by luring him to the carbonite-consumed planet Helior and tricking him into stepping in the Grey Goo, which proceeds to graphically consume and dissolve Broly as he screams in horror and pain.
  • Earth-Shattering Kaboom: His standard battle tactic. Fly to a planet, kill everyone, blow it up. Rinse, wash, repeat. This actually destroyed quite the number of worlds in this Universe.
  • Not So Invincible After All: Broly finds out the hard way that not even the invulnerable Legendary Super Saiyan could survive the effects of carbonite.
  • Oh, Crap!: As he is consumed by the Carbonite consumed Helior.
  • Story-Breaker Power: He's a Legendary Super Saiyan. It comes with the territory. When he unleashes the form on Super Saiyan Vegeta he crushed him with ease and nothing Vegeta threw at him could do so much as even scratch him. It takes Vegeta luring him to the carbonate-consumed Helior and tricking him into stepping into the Grey Goo to ensure his death.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He's a freaking powerhouse, but can't actually fight worth a damn. Justified in that he was strong enough to kill Cooler and King Cold when he was a child, so he's never needed technique. When the weaker but more skilled Vegeta fights him, the former prince was able to run circles around the Legendary Saiyan who couldn't even land a hit on him. Broly transforming into the Legendary Super Saiyan however rendered that worthless since no amount of skill could land a dent on someone Nigh-Invulnerable.

    Vegeta 

Vegeta

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vegeta.PNG
  • Always Someone Better: In this universe, he felt this towards Broly once he became King.
  • Fights Like a Normal: Normal by Saiyan standards anyway. While Vegeta was always very strong, he never had the same overwhelming power that Broly did. Even as a Super Saiyan, Vegeta is still weaker than Broly, but has the upper hand because of his superior technique, at least until the Nigh-Invulnerable Legendary Super Saiyan form comes into play.
  • Know When to Fold Them: Not happy at all with Bardock's proposal. But not too stupid or too proud to not rely on this last resort when Broly DOES prove too much for him to handle.
  • Super Mode: At one point, he awakens the Super Saiyan on his own, from frustration at his own powerlessness. Then in the main story his ghost goes Super Saiyan to finish U13 Vegeta.
  • Warrior Prince: Was this before Bardock's rebellion. His clothes when summoned as a ghost by Raichi seem to imply he eventually managed to make a return to royalty, which is when he manages to get rid of King Broly in a later special.
  • Weak, but Skilled: This is really the only way you can qualify him, when compared to Broly. What Broly has in pure brawn, Vegeta has in brains and actual technique, but it's not quite enough.

    Raichi 

Dr. Raichi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u3raichi.PNG
  • Achilles' Heel: He seems to need to touch Hatchiyack to do anything. When Vegeta knocks him off it, he puts his hand on it to summon a ghost warrior, and just cracking it vanishes all of the ghost warriors summoned, including Raichi himself
  • Adaptational Badass: His original counterpart failed to kill the remaining four Saiyans residing on Earth, while this version managed to wipe out the entire Saiyan race. He also has a far larger Ghost Warrior army with the ranks including almost every major Saiyan, Frieza and Cooler, Broly, along with anyone else who died in the tournament.
  • Adaptational Heroism: While still sharing the basic motivations as his anime counterpart, he's portrayed as much more sympathetic and reasonable compared to the one-note Mad Scientist of the original.
  • Anti-Villain: A type III at that. Dr. Raichi, while not "evil", will be quick to tell you that he isn't inherently "good", either; he's simply a man who has been embittered due to the fact that he is the last of his people, the Tuffles, who were all killed by the Saiyans. The fact that he committed genocide on the Saiyans is even seen as a good thing throughout the universe as they were oppressing people everywhere they went. Dr. Raichi has even befriended Tapion, and saved him from the constant torment of Hirudegarn and asked for nothing in return. Indeed, Raichi has a grudge against only the Sayains; everyone else is fine with him. As he puts it during his fight with Gast:
    Raichi: "I have no innocents on my conscience!"
  • Barrier Warrior: So far, when it comes right down to fighting, Raichi doesn't seem to use much. He is, however, capable of using glass-like barriers capable of holding back Hirudegarn. This man is not to be trifled with.
  • Badass Army: Dr. Raichi has one in the form of an army of Ghost Warriors, in particular, souls of dead Saiyans.
  • Dead All Along: Chapter 58 reveals that Raichi is just another ghost warrior of the Hatchiyack machine.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Dr. Raichi genuinely mourns the death of his own race, the Tuffles, and also seems to consider Tapion a comrade, if not a friend.
  • Fantastic Racism: Raichi absolutely hates Saiyans and as far as he's concerned, there's no such thing as a good one. To him (and many others in his universe) Saiyans are nothing more than cruel, genocidal barbarians who destroy civilizations just for fun. Even when the contestants of U18 try to plead their case that Saiyans like Goku and his children are decent people, Raichi remains unmoved and simply mentions that he can sense what Vegeta used to be like, to which no one is able to muster up a credible rebuttal.
    Gohan: He... He made amends.
    Raichi: I'm sure the billions of families he killed are very comforted.
  • Killed Off for Real: After it is revealed that Dr. Raichi was a ghost warrior himself and Gast smashes his orb, Gast believes that not even the Dragon Balls will be able to bring him back. Subverted, as it turns out the Dragon Balls can bring him back. At the same time, it's implied that it wasn't Raichi who wasn't brought back, but rather Hatchiyack.
  • Last of His Kind: Dr. Raichi is the last living Tuffle, or at least he was. He's been dead for some time.
  • Necromancer: Unlike in Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, where Raichi is revived as a Ghost Warrior by his creation, Hatchiyack. In Multiverse, Raichi has full control over Hatchiyack, which is in its original form as the sphere he's riding on. He also saw the death of Freeza's family, found a way to summon Freeza's ghost, and enabled Freeza's ghost warrior to achieve a new form similar to Cooler's.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: Invoked - he explicitly says he can "download" abilities into his Ghost Warriors to help them fight, such as giving Ghost Warrior Frieza a fifth form (something he didn't have before), or "triggering" his Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan state.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: If he wins he plans on using his wish to make every Saiyan in every universe die.
  • Omnidisciplinary Scientist: There doesn't seem to be anything Raichi can't accomplish if he puts his mind to it.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: Invoked by Raichi when he turns Hanasia on the Saiyans, destroying them in revenge for what they did to the Tuffles.
  • Story-Breaker Power: His necromancy abilities, not only does it allow him to get more powerful as the tournament goes on, but it also seems to have no limits, whether it be in power or numbers allowing him to not only have a literal army at his beck and call at all times but also a tag team of SSJ3 U13 Vegeta and LSSJ U3 Broly, the latter of which is already borderline invincible and to make it worse he can also upgrade some ghosts. And that's not even getting into Hatchiyack. In the end, it took Gast Carcolh, one of the strongest fighters in the entire tournament, to bring him down.
  • Too Powerful to Live: It's probably no coincidence that he was killed off right before the Majin rebellion and it's massive number of casualties that could have been used as his weapons.
  • Tragic Bigot: Considering his entire race besides him was wiped out by the Saiyans, it's hard to blame him for hating them and wanting to wipe them out.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: While his main motive is revenge, Dr Raichi is also partly driven to wipe out every Saiyan in the multiverse because he feels it'd be better without them. Considering past examples of their brutality, many would say that he's got the right idea.
  • Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Well, more like unimaginable rage. Prince Vegeta tells Raichi that he did well in wiping out the Saiyans in his universe, since if he could kill them, then they were weaker than the Tuffles and didn't deserve to live. Raichi is disgusted by Vegeta's callous disregard for his own race.

    Tapion 

Tapion

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tapion_2815.jpg
"Sorry, I'm only here for the wish."
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: In the movie, Tapion has white skin. Dragon Ball Multiverse seems to give him a much more normal skin-tone.
  • Demonic Possession: Due to the apocalypse Hirudegarn caused to his people, he forcefully sealed half of his body in his own. This was Subverted Later when Dr. Raichi unsealed the box
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Hirudegarn is completely bisected by Cell from the bottom up.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Possibly. Tapion calls Dr. Raichi a "good person" (and Raichi is quick to refute this), and while Tapion may not be right, he's not exactly wrong, due to just how broken Raichi is.
  • Last of His Kind: Subverted. Due to Dr. Raichi's genocide of the Saiyan race, including Broly, who happened to be responsible for destroying his planet many years after his departure from it, his people are still alive.
  • Living with the Villain: Whether or not Dr. Raichi is a straight up villain is up to the reader as of the moment, but Tapion considers him a friend, and it seems the feeling is mutual and Tapion lived on his planet for some time. He still pays visits.
  • Musical Assassin: Definitely. Due to his ability to wield the magic ocarina, whether he was a musician prior or not, he qualifies.
  • Sealed Good in a Can: Make that a Magic Box.
  • Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: In this case, Tapion is the can.
  • Squishy Wizard: In battle, Tapion may be pretty handy with sword in hand, but his abilities are mostly magical, Hirudegarn fights for him most of the time, and, against a formidable veteran opponent such as U9 Krillin, he even says, "I don't have the experience for such a battle." Thanks to Buu, he's able to form Hirudegarn around himself, thus circumventing this weakness.
  • Stone Wall: Hirudegarn is this, with Cell, despite being much stronger, being unable to deal any lasting damage even as a giant. However, concentrated attacks are more effective.
  • Symbiotic Possession: Due to Raichi's assistance, Tapion was allowed to contain Hirudegarn and eventually form a mutual pact with it. It helped fight on his behalf and even shared a portion of power to shield him from U9 Krillin during the Tournament. Thanks to Zen Buu, he can form Hirudegarn around himself, protecting him from harm.

    King Piccolo 

King Piccolo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u3piccolo.PNG
  • Achilles' Heel: His sensitive hearing makes him vulnerable to high-pitched sounds. During his battle against Gast, he tears off his ears to avoid this. During Babidi's coup, this weakness ends up sealing his fate.
  • Adaptational Badass: As a result of being fused with Kami, he's far more powerful than he ever was in canon, though he still favors a similar fighting style. After a Majin boost, he actually manages to go toe-to-toe with the Supreme Kais, something far beyond his skill in canon.
  • Admiring the Abomination: He treats the Saiyans sent to slaughter the earthlings as entertainment, though he comments that they lack style. He decides to educate them personally.
  • Better the Devil You Know: Quotes this to Kami when the latter concedes to letting King Piccolo be the one in control once they fuse in order to combat the invading Saiyans.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Is the first shown to have succumbed to Babidi's Majin Spell.
  • Bring It: When Raditz tells him that more Saiyans will come once they learn their invasion of Earth failed, King Piccolo's response is that he'll be looking forward to it.
  • The Corruption: Inverted, Gast claims that his merging with Kami corrupted him with goodness.
  • Curbstomp Battle: Defeats Beelzebub with little effort. He's on the receiving end against Gast.
    • He's revealed to have done this to the Saiyans who were invading Earth after fusing with Kami.
  • Evil Overlord: He took over the entire Earth unopposed in this universe.
  • Eviler than Thou:
    • Pulls this on Beelzebub during their match. This isn't very hard, as Beelzebub is a Poke the Poodle-level villain.
    • He does this again to the Saiyans, more impressively, contrasting his open exultation in evil to the Saiyan's business-like extermination.
  • Fusion Dance: Re-combined with Kami, which was willing for both parties. As confirmed by chapter 87, the Earth attack by Raditz and a team of Saiyan Child Soldiers in year 752 was the trigger.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Gets bisected from the head down by one of the U19 Heliolite warriors.
  • Kick The Son Of A Bitch: He ruthlessly kills the Saiyans that were invading Earth, but since they were ruthless killers to relish in their job of genocide, it's hard to feel sorry for them even if most of them happen to be Child Soldiers.
  • A Lighter Shade of Black: As horrible a world under King Piccolo's rule would be, Kami realises that this was a preferable option compared to the Saiyans who are mainly focusing on purging the Earth of all life.
  • Medium Awareness: This little quip when he and Gast are called to the arena.
    King Piccolo: It's about damn time. It was supposed to be my chapter after all!
  • Sadist: Is revealed to be one, and he shows his credentials as he gives a "lesson" to one of the Saiyan Child Soldiers in cruelty. He thinks they're killing the humans too fast!

    Hatchiyack 

Hatchiyack

  • Adaptational Badass: In the comic, it's not revealed how powerful Hatchiyack it outside of a line from U18 Vegeta that indicated that he might have been able to beat him. In the novel, it's stated that he's stronger than a Super Sayian Vegito and he actually displays the ability to fight in hand-to-hand combat rather than simply rely on its Beam Spam.
  • Artificial Stupidity: Hatchiyack only has one strategy. Scream for 15 seconds while charging up energy, and firing the energy when those 15 seconds are up. This ends up getting exploited by Gast the second he realizes it.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Hatchiyack's Revenger Cannon is devastating in raw power and the charging process allows it to emit a Brown Note that paralyses its opponent, allowing it to charge with little fear of getting attacked. However, said charging process takes fifteen seconds and the Brown Note is ineffective against those who have a Lack of Empathy. Not helping matters is that the Revenger Cannon is all that it could do.
  • Beam Spam: Its only strategy is to charge its Revenger Cannon and blast its opponent into smithereens. If it fails to kill them, rinse and repeat. This ends up being its undoing.
  • Brown Note: Hatchiyack uses one to stun everyone who hears it to help cover his long charge time. Its the hatred of those that have been uploaded into its database and the sound causes great agony to those who hear it. Of course, those who are evil with a Lack of Empathy are able to No-Sell its effects.
  • Flat Character: In contrast to Raichi's expanded characterization, Hatchiyack really doesn't have any character at all, only serving as the final enemy for Gast.
  • Glass Cannon: His Revenger Cannon is devastatingly powerful. But Hatchiyack himself doesn't seem to be that durable as Gast was able to kill him while he's charging up his attack.
  • One-Winged Angel: During his fight against Gast, Raichi turns into Hatchiyack due to Gast damaging the orb enough to stop it from projecting ghost warriors.
