Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #38: Mai from the Goku Training Arc!
Mai - Goku Training Arc -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week, we're being briefed on Mai from the Goku Training Arc!
Story
Mai is one of Pilaf's subordinates and carries out missions for him to advance his plot to take over the world.
She spots Goku and the others while performing reconnaissance in area H-15 and gives Shu the order to move in and attack with the objective of stealing their Dragon Balls.
(Tale 18)
The operation isn't a complete success, however, as Goku was still holding onto the Four-Star Ball, resulting in Mai and Shu receiving a few stern words from a disappointed Pilaf.
(Tale 18)
When Goku and the others come to the Pilaf Gang's castle headquarters to reclaim their stolen Dragon Balls, only to fall victim to a trap and find themselves imprisoned, Mai is the one who suggests using sleeping gas on them to search their possessions for the remaining ball. A pretty great idea, as it turns out, as she soon finds the Four-Star Dragon Ball on Goku's unconscious body.
(Tale 19)
Pilaf then uses his completed set of Dragon Balls to summon Shenron to have his wish for world domination granted, but Oolong manages to dash in at the last second and steal the wish for himself.
(Tale 20)
Later, Goku manages to break free from the steel prison he and the others were being kept in by looking at the full moon and transforming into a Great Ape. In the ensuing destruction that all but reduces the Pilaf Gang's castle to rubble, Mai is forced to make a hasty escape wearing the nightgown she was sleeping in.
(Tale 22)
First Appearance
"Dragon Ball" Tale 18
Trivia
She may be a stoic and dignified operative, but Mai has a goofy side too!
While it's true that Mai is an elite and loyal subordinate of Pilaf's who performs her duties with the utmost diligence, she sometimes fires off the kinds of jokes you'd never expect to hear coming from someone of her elegant and refined appearance!
(Tale 19)
(Tale 20)
→Preview: Next week's character has beautiful black hair like Mai's!
