Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #236: Knock
Knock
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week we're taking a closer look at the arrogant aggressor, Knock!
Story
Knock is a cocky young fighter participating in the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai.
His trademarks are his long hair and brightly colored bandana.
Having fought his way through the preliminaries to reach the finals, he is set to face off against Vegeta in the sixth bout.
The young fighter greets Vegeta with a flippant "Hey, dude", but the Saiyan doesn't so much as glance his way. At this he bristles, "You think you're too good? I'm talkin' to you" and in an attempt to provoke his opponent, he gets in Vegeta's face, taunting him with "Ha! You goin' down, dude!!!"
(Tale 519)
Eating a nonchalant backfist from Vegeta, Knock is sent flying and ultimately left KO'd before the bout even begins.
(Tale 519)
First Appearance
"Dragon Ball" Tale 518
Trivia
Knock was forced to withdraw from the final matchups!
In true Vegeta style, after KO'ing his would-be opponent, he quips to the remaining fighters, "Tell them he's withdrawn."
