Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #252: Hire−Dragon From Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might!
Hire−Dragon - Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time, we're looking at Gohan's horned little helper, Hire−Dragon!
Story
Hire−Dragon is a dragon that Gohan and his friends encounter while out camping.
When Turles' Crusher Corps attacks Earth, Gohan rescues him from the forest, which was set ablaze.
Hire−Dragon grows completely attached to Gohan and follows him home, but when Chichi objects to his presence, Gohan ends up hiding him in a cave.
When Turles forces Gohan into a Great Ape Transformation using his Power Ball, Hire−Dragon desperately calls out to him, causing Gohan to regain his senses.
First Appearance
Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might
Trivia
He really loves Gohan!
Though very kind and gentle towards Gohan, he attacks Shenron on sight, showing that he has a fierce side too.
After nearly being bitten when trying to talk to him, Oolong snaps, "That’s great… He's just like Piccolo! Everything for Gohan, nothing for me!"
Next week's character is also able to fly, just like Hire−Dragon!
