The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time, we're meeting a character from the Japan-exclusive "Dragon Ball: Yo! The Return of Goku and Friends!!", Tarble!
Tarble is a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta and, shockingly, Vegeta's younger brother.
At a young age, he was deemed unsuited for combat and conquest by King Vegeta and banished to a distant planet.
Mild-mannered and possessed of a soft demeanor, Tarble has the polar-opposite personality to that of his arrogant and battle-hungry older brother.
One day, Tarble's home planet in exile is attacked by two remnant soldiers of the Frieza Force named Abo and Kado.
Unable to fend them off in battle, Tarble travels to Earth in a Saiyan Space Pod to seek aid from his estranged brother, with whom he manages to reunite at a party being held by Mr. Satan.
When Tarble asks for help dealing with Abo and Kado, Goku is pumped as usual at the prospect of a fight. Tarble scans him with his Scouter and initially turns him down due to his seemingly low Power Level, but his tune soon changes when Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and causes the overloaded Scouter to explode!
It then turns out that Abo and Kado had tailed Tarble to Earth, but it isn't long before the two are safely dealt with by a Kamehameha courtesy of Goku.

He has a cute wife named Gure!
Gure actually came with Tarble to Earth, where he formally introduced her to her brother-in-law, Vegeta.
Upon seeing Gure, Kamesennin remarks that Saiyans seem to have a knack for picking unusual wives.
