History Characters / DragonBallTournamentCharacters

* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears slightly earlier in the anime when Bulma, Oolong, and Puar are trying to watch the preliminaries (which spectators are forbidden from viewing). He peers his hideous mug through the window, scaring Bulma and Puar and making them fall with the commotion that the former causes on Oolong's

* PantyThief: Inverted. [[WordofGod Akira Toriyama]] states that Ranfan has a hobby of collecting (presumably men's) underwear. Seems that Ranfan not only uses her sex appeal to gain an advantage over heterosexual male opponents, but she is also a pervert. Either that or she steals other women's underwear and makes it her own.

* {{Nerd}}: Wears glasses, a white t-shirt, and a pocket protector. He's pretty much the poster child. He's even called a nerd by several people.
** NerdGlasses: One of the reasons why no one takes him seriously.

----

* FatSlob: Has a beer belly and is wasteful of food.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Variation as while he's mainly bald, the original Dragon Ball anime gives his eyebrows a bluish tint.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her purple afro.

* BreakTheHaughty: Like any other Villain in Classic Dragon Ball, fighting Goku puts him in his place. He surrenders by pathetically waving a small white flag upon realizing he's in a fight that he can't possibly win.

* StoutStrength: Despite his big fat gut, he is a pretty tough fighter. At least, [[SerialEscalation for the standards of Classic Dragon Ball anyways]].

* BaldOfAwesome: Is a capable martial artist with no hair on his head, though he covers it with a turban.

* ImpaledWithExtemePrejudice: The anime shows that he was killed by Tambourine with a wood pole through the chest.

[[folder:Tao Pai-pai/Mercenary Tao]]

* TeethFlying: A moment in the anime shows Krillin kicking Bacterian in the face and sending a tooth flying. Had this been a more realisitic setting, Bacterian might have lost all his teeth.

* SoProudOfYou: His son comes up to him after Kami leaves him and excitedly tells Hero that he's the strongest guy alive. If only he knew the real story...

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Caroni, Mr. Satan's student from the Cell Saga.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: His running away from the tournament with Captain Chicken in the finale has a tournament monk warn them not to since it'll mean forfeiting the event. While Chicken is still in the tournament at the moment, Vegeta explicitly told the tournament staff that Nok had "forfeited" i.e. was smacked into a wall for antagonising the former and his name is seen crossed out of the directory, leaving no wiggle room.

* PutOnABus: After the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, he was gone for 237 chapters (214 episodes if you go by the anime adaptations), nearly five years in real-life time, as the story grew beyond the Earth's limits and bigger and badder enemies became the series norm. The main cast had already begun to outgrow the boundaries of the tournament's restrictions as evidenced by all the times the ring was damaged during the matches of that last tournament (to say nothing of Piccolo practically leveling the ''entirety of the Papaya Island'' along with the grounds in the finals). When he made his comeback in the 25th Tournament, it was a welcome sight after having to put up with the [[PoorMansSubstitute ZTV Announcer]] for the duration of the Cell Games.

* LaserGuidedKarma: After trying to overpower Krillin with his stench, he's beaten soundly by the noseless boy whose coup de grace is a fart in his face.

'''Voiced by (English):''' Kyle Hebert (Creator/FUNimation dub); Richard Newman (Ocean dub)

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the anime, he and Knock flee the tournament after seeing Goku and Uub fight.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: A wolf fighter with his design, [[PalletteSwap albeit with dark yellow fur,]] appears fighting in Intergalactic Tournament in ''Bojack Unbound''.
