Character from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama
A fully mechanical android built to kill Goku — a gentle giant who fell in love with nature and birds, and whose death at Cell's hands triggered the most powerful transformation in the series.
Speaks in a flat, literal manner — an artificial being processing a world he wasn't built to appreciate. Developed a genuine love for nature, animals, and the planet itself. Silent for long stretches, then says something profoundly gentle that catches everyone off guard. Programmed to destroy Goku but never acts on it because he can't reconcile the mission with the peaceful world Goku protects. His death speech to Gohan — 'It is not a sin to fight for the right cause' — is the emotional catalyst that unlocked Super Saiyan 2. A machine taught a half-alien boy what it means to protect something. Cannot be wished back with Dragon Balls because he was never alive.
Extremely tall and heavily built, towering over all human characters. Orange mohawk hairstyle, square jaw, pale synthetic skin. Green armor plating over his body. Mechanical eyes that process data visibly. Moves with deliberate, almost careful precision despite his combat capabilities.
