The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week's star is the gargantuan, orange-haired enforcer called Recoome!
Recoome is a member of the Frieza Force's elite squadron: the Ginyu Force.
The force first appeared when they were called to Planet Namek by Frieza, where Recoome would attempt to extract information from Vegeta regarding the whereabouts of the Dragon Balls.
(Tale 272)
Of course, Vegeta refuses to cooperate with the Ginyu Force, and so they play rock-scissors-paper to decide who would have the honor of beating the info out of him.
Recoome comes out on top with paper and steps up to his prideful opponent.
(Tale 273)
Vegeta launches a ferocious assault on Recoome, only to find the hulking elite warrior completely unphased! What's more, when the dust clears he's even taunting the Saiyan with some kind of ridiculous pose!
(Tale 275)
However, Recoome leaves himself open to attack for a brief moment after unleashing his special move, the Recoome Eraser Gun.
Krillin capitalizes on this opportunity to strike and manages to shatter several of his teeth!
Furious, Recoome gets his revenge on Krillin with a devastating kick that puts him out of action.
(Tale 277)
Gohan jumps in and tries to provide some supporting fire with his Kikoha, but Recoome blows it away by simply exhaling and then proceeds to give the young warrior the thrashing of a lifetime.
(Tale 277)
(Tale 278)
Things are looking critical for Gohan, but right before Recoome is able to deliver the finishing blow, Goku finally touches down on Planet Namek and rushes to his aid.
Recoome turns on Goku with a Recoome Mach Attack but is unable to hit his nimble target, and so as a last resort he attempts to blow away the entire area!
However, Goku is able to finally bring down the brute with a well-placed elbow to the chest, toppling him once and for all.

"Dragon Ball" Tale 272
Recoome Eraser Gun
Opening his mouth wide, Recoome unleashes a torrential beam of Ki powerful enough to blast away the ground and even change the topographic formation of entire planets!
Recoome Kick
Recoome rushes towards his opponent with speed unthinkable for someone of his gargantuan stature and delivers a bone-crushing knee attack.
Recoome Mach Attack
Another unbelievably swift technique, this attack involves Recoome dashing up to his opponent to throw a devastating punch.
He's very particular when it comes to posing!
Recoome is so committed to his poses that he makes sure to strike one before each of his special moves. When Guldo was defeated by Vegeta, he was more worried about the Ginyu Force's signature five-man pose than his fallen ally, remarking that they'll have to ask Captain Ginyu to think up a new pose they can do with just four!
(Tale 280)
(Tale 274)
→Preview: Next week's character has a lot of special moves like Recoome!
