I'm pretty sure they're just re-used character designs. No human being can survive a shot to the head or being inside a robot that explodes.

Does Colonel Silver having a one-armed chair in his office or how Commander Red writes with a quill pen count as obscure facts? Indeed, these are precisely the sort of juicy tidbits I was fishing for! Now, onto issues regarding the RR's origin... In that case I'll just start listing the random thin...

Sadly, unless you are aware of some especially obscure fact, I already know everything there is to know about them. I'm more interested in how we can re-invent the RR concept in an interesting way. Think: what was the RR doing before they were looking for the Dragon Balls? What's an independent org...

It seems like a neat idea. I like how you want to connect everything together. If you need any information about the Red Ribbon Army I'd be glad to help. Yeah, I'm betting that this reply is shorter than the kind you were expecting. EDIT: As for possible titles, nothing comes to mind directly. Of co...

Nice to know that there's another Yellow fan out there - he seems to be one of the most forgotten of the officers, which isn't surprising, given his extremely small/short role. I didn't have time to listen to the whole podcast, but the parts I did listen to I quite liked. This episode got some laugh...

I quite liked this podcast. But I've noticed how, if someone doesn't instantly know the name of a Red Ribbon Army officer, they seem to automatically think it's Silver. Always found that amusing. I don't know if this was in the manga or not, but in that scene where Bulma's mother steps on, well, shr...

15. Silver (I think that's his name... the one Goku fought in the cave.) That was Blue, actually. But I wouldn't mind seeing Silver as a character, too. Come to think of it, I'd like to see more characters from Dragonball in general - I mean, just because they can't blow up planets doesn't meant th...

Its kind of strange, but when Commander Red said to give the radar to General Kappa, whatever happens, I mean I watched all dragonball, but if he has the radar, and goku already had all 6 dragonballs, shouldn't General Kappa be fighting for the last dragonball with pilaf or something, I mean after ...

But what happened to General White, it looks like no one likes him, well I think, he's just boring and weak. Actually, even though there wasn't much to him, I still thought he was cool. He was, after all, the only officer to have ever figured out Goku's primary weakness (his tail), so White deserve...

I'm pretty sure Dr. Gero hadn't been thought up at all during that time, but I suppose he can still count. On a little tangent, I found myself liking a lot of the soldiers, like the guy from Blue's base in the episode where Goku and co. got out of the cave who danced in panic, and the sergeant of Mu...

Actually, Brown is mentioned in the manga. In the very first chapter the RRA appears in, in fact. Silver mentions that Brown's group already found one Dragon Ball. Ah, guess that was my mistake. I believe I was confusing a translated manga panel I recently looked at as opposed to the English Dragon...

Maybe I'm just judging him on the Funimation Dub's treatment of him (apparently he's a very flexible character across the various dubs) The various dubs? Try every language! I've watched the RRA episodes in Castilian, English, Japanese, French, Portuguese, and Italian. These are Silver's basic, ove...

Awesome, something I can actually post to! Even though it, technically, has already been answered. Alright. Commander Red mentioned General Copper after Colonel Violet returned to the Red Ribbon Army headquarters to give Red the Dragonball she located and retrieved at the lake. Red told Black to giv...

I'd ask him a lot of things, 99% of which would deal with the Red Ribbon Army. If anyone were to ask him about the RRA now he'd probably respond with "...who're those guys again?".

That crossed my mind, and that's probably what it says. But, if not here, does anyone know where I could get someone to translate it? Maybe even a couple words or two?

Doujinshi translation

A friend of mine got her hands on a doujinshi and scanned a panel. To make this short and straight to the point, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it says.

Quick correction here; she's a colonel.

In any case, I would probably buy that if I didn't have most of the DVD's already...and if it came to the U.S..
