#MURASAKI DRAGONBALL ANDROID#
Goku defeats all of them and chases the purple-clad ninja up a set of stairs where he unleashes the deadly Android 8! … Who reveals himself to be a pacifist and sides with Goku. Murasaki then splits into five, but then it’s revealed that actually he’s just one of a set of quintuplets and actually each one is real. Murasaki tries to use various ninja tricks that keep backfiring, like hiding under water with a reed to breathe, only for Goku to empty the boiled kettle down it, or using a fake wood sheet to hide against a tree, only for Goku to randomly decide he needed to piss and … yeah. Goku’s next opponent is Ninja Murasaki, and this fight is pure Toriyama humour. It’s funny to note that Metallic scans Goku during this scene and the anime staff copied the computer scan text from the classic film “Alien”, which meant Goku is identified as an “alien”, accidentally foreshadowing the big reveal from the start of Dragon Ball Z before Toriyama had probably even thought of it… It’s finished off and Goku heads up the tower. Goku soon defeats it, comically panicking when he blasts its head off only to be attacked by it again. Metallic, or Major Metallitron if you wish, who is frankly a big reference to the Terminator but with an exaggeratedly large body. It works though! Snow, the little girl who helps him to start with, is suitably adorable enough that you’re on Goku’s side very quickly.Īfter taking down some random grunts Goku runs into a giant android named Sgt.

Goku’s plane has crashed in the wintery North, and he’s saved by a little girl named Snow.
Afterwards is a small collection of mostly filler material, but hey-ho, I have to include them somewhere! Let’s take a look… It’s time for the Muscle Tower part of the Red Ribbon Army arc, a relatively small part of the narrative but one that managed to stick in a lot of fans-of-the-time’s minds, as Muscle Tower itself has managed to cameo in a lot of future games released in the 2000s.
