"Long ago, the Red Ribbon Army was busy conquering the world in harmony. Then, everything changed when Son Goku attacked."

No wonder Violet and Red had a kid, she’s apparently the only competent member of the entire army xD

Capsule Corp and the Red Ribbon keep humans relevant. I like that about them.

Let’s be glad Gero decided to make androids instead of time machines…

Fun Fact: One thing that barely gets acknowledged is that Black, after offing Commander Red, intended to rebrand the Red Ribbon Army into the "Black Ribbon Army", which he boasts during his fight with Goku.

Even though this was a short-lived goal, it still deserves acknowledgment. I often wonder what if new color-themed Ribbon Armies were created. When I first hard of Dragon Ball, I thought there was a Blue Ribbon Army along with the RRA but I was surprised there wasn't one as a rival.

This is why we need to put a stop to bullying, it always leads to the creation of an evil organization.🐱

Dr. Gero kidnapped one of the people who ended up saving the multiverse. 😅

The Red Ribbon Army reminds me of the time Kid me said "that's the Government Mom"

I'm surprised the latest Death Battle wasn't sponsored by the Red Ribbon Army.

I love how thanks to the update to Sparking Zero a few weeks ago, we now know that after his failures and death, the Red Ribbon Army managed to completely unperson General Blue from their records.

As a manga reader, I was so happy when it turned out the Androids were connected to the Red Ribbon army.

I really enjoyed their arc in the earlier days of the manga.

Of course, I was also really excited for their return in Superhero.

General Blue is one of the few people Goku fought that he never actually beat.

1:37:57 And this is officially the last manga page that Akira Toriyama revised before going to heaven. R.I.P Akira Toriyama, Fly High legend.

As someone who prefers DB to Z, the fact that the RRA remained relevant for a long time made me so happy as a kid

32:30 “Magenta ran it like a real company, but with dark intentions in the background”

This is how you know dragon ball is a work of fiction, because corporations in real life display their evil openly

23:22 ngl bro had aura from that alone 😭🙏

7:14 I believe that’s due to the film Mystical Adventure which features Tao as a general in the Mifan Empire scheming to take over with his brother Shen, with the OG Dragon Ball films having been dubbed before the actual DB anime was, leading to things like the dub of Z or games like Tenkaichi 3 calling him General Tao
