The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week.
This time, we are examining the nefarious gears that power the fearsome Pirate Robot!
A robot that protects the treasure at a pirate hideout located at the bottom of the ocean.
While searching for a Dragon Ball at the bottom of the ocean, Goku and his allies find themselves under attack by the Red Ribbon Army's nefarious General Blue. In order to escape, they duck into a cave, which turns out to be a hidden pirate base!
Once inside the base, our heroes get attacked by the Pirate Robot.
(Tale 75)
The robot fires off a machine gun volley with its left arm and tries to slice and dice our heroes, but they dodge and Krillin fearlessly breaks Pirate Robot's sword with a well placed chop.
(Tale 75)
Goku kicks the robot into some nearby water, but his mechanical foe counters by using its snake-like tail to drag him down into the waves. Pirate Robot then unleashes a powerful electric strike with its tail.
(Tale 75)
Goku leaps out of the water to escape and jumps to the top of a building using his Nyoibo. Pirate Robot soon follows in search of this would-be prey, but is unable to locate the young Saiyan. In the confusion, Goku launches a devastating Jan-Ken (Rock) attack from high in the air! The hit lands directly on the back of Pirate Robot's head, cracking it in two and causing the bot to explode!!
(Tale 75)
"Dragon Ball" Tale 75
It has been protecting treasure since ancient times!
Krillin seems to know a legend about some pirate treasure that was hidden long ago in the area of the ocean where our heroes end up. It seems like said treasure was kept in the pirate hideout they stumbled into, and that Pirate Robot had been guarding it since ancient times.
(Tale 74)
