* [[Jerkass]]: He blames all of his mistakes on his minions, even when they're clearly his fault.
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: Pilaf has expressed his hatred of [[Doctor Slump]], saying Shonen Jump became much more sophisticated after its cancellation.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
* [[Starter Villain]]
* [[Stupid Evil]]
* [[The Napoleon]]
* [[Not -So -Harmless Villain]]: As silly and ridiclous Pilaf is, his oven prison cell came extremely close to killing the main characters.
* [[Theme Naming]]: After food (rice pilaf).
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]
Line 46:
* [[Ninja]]: Shu
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Shu
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Mai
* [[Terrible Trio]]: Together with Pilaf
* [[Tessho Genda]]: Shu
Line 142:
* [[Laughably Evil]]
* [[Ninja]]: Subverted in that he's a bumbling idiot
* [[Not -So -Harmless Villain]]: At times he can be dangerous. He would've self destructed Eighter if Goku hadn't intervened.
* [[Stock Ninja Weaponry]]
 
Line 163:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: He has one of his own men shot for picking his nose, and relishes in the sound of the gunfire.
* [[Badass Gay]]
* [[Bad Boss]]: Considering the fact that he executed soldiers for [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|picking noses, failure to hit Goku twice, and cowardice/sleeping on the job]] (the last of which he executed in person the soldier who did these actions). The only one whose even worse of a boss in his army is his own boss, Commander Red, who once was implied to have executed a soldier just because he couldn't evade his cat in time, and also has a chilling disregard for his own troops, even willing to kill off his own army just to get himself taller.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Sloppiness and ''especially'' getting his looks messed up.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
Line 172:
* [[Evil Eye]] / [[The Paralyzer]]: Via [[Psychic Powers]]; see below.
* [[Genius Bruiser]] / [[Informed Ability]]: Aside from being the strongest Red Ribbon Army soldier (which is demonstrated), General Blue was also stated by Commander Red to be a tactical genius on the battlefield. However, this was not showcased much outside of drawing a fake arrow in place of Krillin and Bulma's arrow to trick Goku into going the wrong way.
* [[Giggling Villain]] / [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]]
* [[Macho Camp]]: Scared of mice, and a bit of a neat freak (however, see [[Ax Crazy]]). Otherwise, he's every bit a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|man's man]], and one of the first truly threatening enemies Goku faces.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Including [[The Paralyzer|paralyzing]] anyone who meets his gaze and animating ropes.
Line 179:
* [[Putting On the Reich]]
* [[Sissy Villain]]: On the one hand, he's super-strong and possesses frightening [[Psychic Powers]]. On the other, he's terrified of mice and obsessed with his looks.
* [[Sorry, I'm Gay]]: Bulma's attempt at seducing him fails miserably.
* [[Super Soldier]]
* [[Super Strength]]: Such as lifting boulders and crushing phone booths with his bare hands. Also goes in line with superhuman endurance due to his surviving an electric eel's shocks with no apparent ill effects afterwards, and snapped its neck.
Line 198:
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Considering the fact that he promised that he'd change just to keep Goku from killing him, and as soon as Goku let his guard down, he attempts to kill him with a grenade, it's pretty reasonable that he qualifies as such.
** [[I Surrender, Suckers]]
* [[Engrish]]: What kind of assassin goes around with "KILL YOU!" written on his clothes?<ref>The kind who can kill anyone who makes fun of him for it.</ref>
* [[Finger Gun]]: His Dodon Ray technique, via the Crane school o martial arts.

* [[Theme Naming]]: After a color. "Taopaipai" roughly translates to "Peach-White-White".
* [[Villain Forgot to Level Grind]]: His transformation to cyborg ''did'' increase his strength some, but by the time he appears his old student Tien is so powerful he goes down in one shot.
Line 224:
* [[Only in It For The Money]]
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: In the anime, once Goku begins his invasion of the Red Ribbon base. She heads straight for the vault, grabs as much cash as she can and bolts. She's one of the few RR officials to escape Goku's wrath at the time and, considering she doesn't appear later in the show, probably went on with her life after the RR's downfall.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Guess.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Violet Hair]]
Line 236:
Master Roshi's rival and Mercenary Tao's older brother. Tien and Chiaotzu's original teacher, Shen has his students enter the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament in order to show up Roshi, hearing how far Goku and Krillin went in the previous tournament. When he hears that Goku defeated Tao, he changes his plans and tries to get his students to kill Goku and company. However, his interference in the final match causes his students to make a [[Heel Face Turn]], and he is sent flying by Roshi's Kamehameha. He shows up at the next tournament with his brother, but is forced to flee when his ex-prize student easily beats Tao.
 
* [[Big Bad]]: During the Tienshinhan Saga with Tien as his [[Dragon -in -Chief]].
** [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: Shows up at the 23rd tournament seeking revenge on the Dragon Ball gang, but is quickly chased off.
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: He was the one who taught Tien the Tri-Beam, much to Master Roshi's displeasure.
Line 274:
 
* [[Big Bad]]: He and his son would be the villains of the last arc of Dragon Ball.
* [[Breath Weapon]]: Notably used it to ''[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|kill Shenron]]''.
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: ''"There are two things that I, Demon King Piccolo hate most in this world: Peace and Justice."''
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: He actually ''killed'' Shenron with a [[Breath Weapon|mouth blast]]. Just to prevent anyone from using the Dragon Balls again.
* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: The first thing he does as Global Dictator is to declare on International Television "I DON'T intend to lord over you: in fact, you are free to do as you please from now on: Kill, pillage, steal and rob to your heart's content: I hereby declare the end of peace and justice!!" . Cell must have taken notes from his genetic memory to have done the same 14 years later.
* [[Earn Your Title]]
Line 307:
The oldest and weakest of King Piccolo's children, but also the one who lasted longest (besides Piccolo, Jr.). Piccolo created the pterodactyl-like Piano to serve as his attendant and majordomo. Piano was accidentally killed when Goku punched King Piccolo so hard that he fell on his son and crushed him.
 
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Dinosaurs]]: He looks like a small, wingless, humanoid pteranodon.
* [[Flight]]: The only real power he displays is levitation.
* [[Servile Snarker]]: Though he's still completely loyal to his father.
