Ribrianne is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super and its companion manga series written by Toyotarō. Ribrianne makes her debut in Dragon Ball Super Episode 91, broadcast on 21 May 2017 on Fuji TV, as a contestant to compete in the Tournament of Power on behalf of Universe 2.
Biography
Ribrianne commands Kakunsa and Rozie as leader of the Maiden Squadron. She transforms from a beautiful girl into a chubby warrior, and attacks recklessly.[1]
Tournament of Power
Brianne de Chateau attends an event to be chosen as a Universe 2 idol warrior for the Tournament of Power. She cuts to the front of the line, and two ladies with masculine traits (chin stubble, low voices) who are at the front of the line think that Brianne has mistaken this event for a regular idol audition. They inform her that this is an audition for a martial arts tournament.
Offended by their rudeness, Brianne informs them that she is stronger than they are. She calls out, "Formation!" and begins her transformation, chanting: "Burian. Burian. Buri-buri-an!" Each part of her body grows larger until she has fully transformed into Ribrianne. She tells the rude ladies it is time for their punishment, and proceeds to attack them with a Pretty Cannon. They hug each other in fear, but the attack hits them, and they appear to be obliterated.[2] (They are seen later, watching the Tournament of Power on a telecast and noticeably injured.)[3] Ribrianne tells the children watching not to try this at home. The Omni-Kings, watching through a crystal ball, are very impressed with her, and the Great Priest tells him they should pay attention to the strong women in each universe, too.[2]
Brianne is next seen when the Great Priest transports the Universe 2 team to the World of Void.[4] When the tournament begins, Narirama of Universe 3 goes into his Super Survival Mode and knocks Brianne and the other members of the Maiden Squadron flying. Helles is offended; it is not beautiful to attack the maidens before they transform.[5] After this, Brianne lays low and is seen only briefly, while Kale is on her berserker rampage,[6] before Kale and Caulifla team up with Universe 7 warriors to eliminate half of the Pride Troopers of Universe 11. Brianne observes their fight,[7] and when it is finished, she decides it is time for the Maiden Squadron to transform.[8]
Brianne calls for Sanka-Ku and Sue Roas, telling them it is time to show their power. Then she calls for the attention of the other warriors, and Jimeze, Zirloin, Bikal, Rabanra, and Zarbuto stop what they are doing to attend her. (It is unknown why the other Universe 2 fighters, Prum and Harmira, did not join them.) As Sanka and Sue join Brianne on a high rock, Goku, who was looking for Jiren, stops to see what is happening. They also have the attention of Kuririn, who is in the stands. Brianne asks the girls if they are ready, and they are; Sanka approves of the high ground for their performance. Peru roots in anticipation, and Helles stands to announce that it is time for lovely flowers to bloom on the battlefield. Beerus and Champa wonder what is going on. Vegeta asks them what this is all about.
Brianne introduces herself, followed by Sanka and Sue, and their Universe 2 teammates join them in a call-and-response ritual. "Let it bloom. Let it ring. The song of love and victory!"/"The song of love and victory!" Brianne calls "Formation!" and begins her transformation sequence as seen at her audition. Before the actual transformation begins, Sanka and Sue begin their sequences as well. Goku wonders if they are going to power up, but Beerus thinks it looks more like a recital than powering up. Helles tells him to be silent; this ritual represents the fighting spirit of the Universe 2 warriors. The maidens all drift, eyes closed, as they gather their power, and the Omni-Kings are enthralled, but then suddenly they are interrupted by a blast from No. 17. Peru is horrified; Helles demands to know who has done this. Goku asks No. 17 if he did this; No. 17 says they were wide open, and asks if there is a problem. Goku explains that they were going to transform.
The disheveled maidens rush in to angrily confront No. 17; Brianne tells him that every part of their transformation has meaning; how could he interrupt it? Toppo chimes in to support the maidens; a warrior's pose is justice, and No. 17's interruption was disrespectful. Goku pleads with No. 17 to allow them to transform, so he concedes and walks away. Brianne thanks Toppo for his understanding, but warns him that they will not hold back. Toppo says that is fine, and Goku tells them to show their full power. No. 17 takes a seat on a rock to watch, and the girls jump back up on their high rock. Beerus is frustrated with Goku; he is supposed to eliminate enemies before they reach full power. Kuririn says that is just how Goku is.
Helles announces the ritual again, and Beerus and Champa cannot believe they are starting over from the beginning. Everything is repeated exactly as it was before, except that this time they successfully transform into Ribrianne, Kakunsa, and Rozie. Helles proclaims that this is the highest form of Universe 2's warriors; their mortal level might not be high enough, but their love level is the highest in all the universes. The Omni-Kings, the participating Universe 2 members, and Peru all celebrate; Peru thinks they are beautiful, but Kuririn thinks they were cuter before. Whis explains that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each universe is different; indeed, the male Universe 10 warriors on the sidelines are enjoying the spectacle, and from Universe 11, Tupper, Zoire, Toppo, and Dispo are blushing. Goku adopts a battle stance, and Vegeta demands to see their power.
Ribrianne starts off with an attack called Love; all three maidens contribute, and they send hearts crashing all around the arena; Goku sniffs the air, and Freeza thinks the odor is foul. Obni is overcome by emotions, and Toppo warns Dispo not to inhale. Helles explains that this is the light of love; warriors bewitched by its aroma will burn. Rumoosh frantically tries to smack his warriors in the stands out of their stupor; only Rylibeu seems unaffected. Shin wonders whether Goku and the others will be okay, but Whis says they are all stoic and they seem to be holding up, even the Turtle Hermit, who was the one they would have had to worry about the most. Muten Rōshi says that his training with Pu'er is paying off, and Tenshinhan is proud of him. The Universe 7 defensive group scatters to fight independently.
Ribrianne asks everyone how they like their gifts of love; the entire arena is covered in the fog of the Love attack. Beerus thinks Universe 2 was hiding a real nuisance; Champa says that, despite their bizarre appearances, they have shaken up the entire tournament. Helles declares that this is the point. Jiren moves in to put an end to the attack, but Vegeta beats him to the punch, dispelling the fog telling Ribrianne that this is a stupid attack; sure this is not their full power. Ribrianne assures him that this was just a little greeting; the real fight starts now.
Vegeta attacks Ribrianne as a Super Saiyan, and after they exchange blows, he concedes that her transformation was not just for show. She attacks him as a "ball of fire", and he instinctively dodges because he is repulsed by her appearance. Instead, she barrels into Dyrasen, who had been fighting Piccolo, and knocks him out of the arena. Ribrianne celebrates her first victory; the Omni-Kings think she is amazing. Helles asks everyone if they saw the maiden's explosion, and calls everyone's attention to Rozie, who is fighting Goku, and Kakunsa, who is fighting No. 17. Bikal saves Kakunsa from elimination, but then No. 17 knocks Bikal out of the ring. Ribrianne steps in to help Kakunsa, but Kakunsa wants to take care of No. 17 herself. Ribrianne is moved by Kakunsa's love for Bikal, and wishes her luck. When No. 17 eliminates Kakunsa, Ribrianne becomes enraged. Not only did he interrupt their transformation, he eliminated Bikal and Kakunsa. With eyes of fire, she tells No. 17 that she will never forgive him. Behold a maiden's anger![8]
Kakunsa apologizes to Ribrianne for losing, but Ribrianne directs all of her anger to No. 17, whom she calls a "Warrior of Darkness". She demands he identify himslef, so he does, promising to eliminate her for the sake of Universe 7. She says she will not let him; as long as she has love, she will protect Universe 2. No. 17 says they will have to see which is stronger: his wish, or her love. She tells him to bring it on, promising him she will show him her power. They fight evenly, and No. 17 compliments her strength, but she says she does not need compliments from a Warrior of Darkness. As Rozie fights Goku, Helles proclaims that a maiden's revenge is also beautiful.
No. 17 briefly abandons Ribrianne to help Goku with Rozie, and this angers Ribrianne even more. He apologizes as they continue to fight. When Goku defeats Rozie, Ribrianne abandons No. 17 to prevent her from being eliminated; No. 17 tells them that if they would simply eliminate themselves, it would save them a lot of trouble. Helles panics, but Peru tells her not to worry; maidens have knights! Jimeze appears and uses his teleportation technique to help them retreat. He later eliminates Zircor to protect them, promising that no one shall harm the hopes of Universe 2, and assuring them that love and hope will never die.[10]
When Ribrianne recovers, she challenges Goku.[11] Fighting her in his normal form, he compliments her fighting spirit. She tells him it's not fighting spirit; it's love! She promises to defeat Universe 7 with the power of love. Helles is awed by her display; Peru tells Ribrianne that Helles is watching her, but Ribrianne already knows; she promises Helles that she will not lose, and fires a Pretty Cannon at Goku, followed by a Pretty Love Machine Gun. Kuririn is worried that Goku is getting confused by her love attacks; Goku rubs his arms, complaining that something tickles. Il, the Kaiōshin of Universe 8, is impressed by her love level. Liquiir says he thought that either Universe 6 or 7 would win, since they have the numbers, but he thinks Universe 2 might make it to the end. Il asks him if he is rooting for Ribrianne, and he admits he might be. Meanwhile, the other exempt universes are stone-faced. Goku seems surprised that his attacks are not working on Ribrianne; she informs him that love is eternal and always wins![12]
Ribrianne continues to attack Goku with her "maiden's charge", invoking love, dreams, hope, friendship, and victory. Goku blocks her attacks, eventually knocking her back, and he acknowledges her amazing power. She proclaims that she has to win and obtain the Super Dragon Balls, and Helles chimes in to encourage her, assuring her that she will reach her goal. Ribrianne says it is all for love, and Helles says her objective is beautiful. Ribrianne ascends to the top of a high rock, proclaiming that her wish is to be a goddess of love. Goku thinks that is interesting, so Ribrianne asks him what he will wish for; Goku does not know, but thinks maybe he would wish to meet someone stronger than he has ever met before. Ribrianne informs him that he has already met that person; she is that strong someone!
Helles raises a glowstick and instructs Kakunsa and Rozie to do the same. They wave their glowsticks and semd Ribrianne their love; Ribrianne absorbs it and wraps herself up in a cocoon; she emerges from the cocoon with wings, and calls herself Super Ribrianne. Goku says he can feel that she has gotten stronger; he will have to use more power to keep up. Helles compliments Ribrianne's new form and tells her to show these loveless universes the power of love. Ribrianne attacks Goku with Heart Arrows of Love which produce a "Ribrianne Super Amore Shower". Goku dodges her attacks, and she tells him it is not beautiful to run. Now she calls her attack "Love Storm Arrows"; Goku gets a hit in and she squeals. She thinks Goku fears her love; she warns him that her love envelopes all; she will pierce him with Ribrianne Eternal Love, another giant heart attack. She is satisfied at her heart-shaped crater and proclaims that love is victorious, but Goku attacks her from behind as a Super Saiyan Blue, sending her crashing through several rocks.
Helles is distressed; Ribrianne rolls on the ground and lands at Jiren's feet. She squeals again, and runs to hide behind a rock, asking Jiren if he has fallen in love with her, too, but he ignores her. She asks him if he is shy; if he confesses his love later, she will ignore him. But Jiren is focused on Goku, whose transformation has caught his attention. Ribrianne takes the hint, though she seems to be frightened of Jiren. Later, when Goku is gathering energy for the Genki-Dama, Ribrianne tries to "send him some sudden love" from behind, but Vegeta blasts her before she can attack.[13] Vegeta continues to keep an eye on her while Goku is trying to throw the Genki-Dama at Jiren. When it seems Goku has been defeated by his own attack, Ribrianne and several others approach the crater where he fell to challenge Jiren. When Jiren defeats Goku, Ribrianne again approaches the crater where Goku fell to challenge him again, but Goku is taken away by Freeza.[14]
Vegeta battles Ribrianne again, this time in his normal form. She tries attacking with her "ball of fire" move again, but he tells her that will not work. Ribrianne is on the ropes, and Rozie steps in to protect her. Vegeta attacks them both, but they escape, hiding underneath a rock, and Vegeta goes off to search for them. Ribrianne worriedly asks Rozie if they can win this; Universe 2 is losing more members than other universes. Rozie slaps her, asking her if this is the extent of her love and reminding her that love is stronger and bigger than everything. Ribrianne wipes away her tears, and says Rozie is right; if she cannot believe in love, then who can? She gives Rozie her thanks.[15]
Name
Ribrianne's name is likely derived from Chateaubriand (シャトーブリアン) steak, a French dish made with a thick cut of beef tenderloin filet. The character name is a rearrangement of the katakana used to write "Chateaubriand" in Japanese, with the inclusion of the French word "de", meaning "of" or "from". The steak dish is named for François-René de Chateaubriand, whose surname comes from the French town of the same name.[16] The addition of the "ri" syllable to the beginning of her warrior name adds "rib" (リブ/ribu) to her name pun.
Production
Ribrianne was introduced in a preview of the "Limit-Break x Survivor" opening theme animation, initially presented after the Japanese broadcast of Dragon Ball Super episode 75 on 22 January 2017.[18][19] In the preview, which features additional frames of animation not present in the final broadcast version of the opening theme, Ribrianne is seen fighting Vegeta.
According to Dragon Ball Super producer Satoru Takami, Ribrianne's warrior form was designed by Akira Toriyama. The magical girl–style transformation was a concept developed at Toei Animation.[20]
Universe 2 Ribrianne's fat appearance from after she transforms was also designed by Toriyama-sensei. We took that and added in the idea that a cute girl would transform into that fat person.
— Satoru Takami
Director Ryōta Nakamura elaborated on the development of Ribrianne's character and her battle with No. 18.[20]
[Ribrianne’s battle of love] was another one of our ideas. Frankly, Ribrianne is someone who singlemindedly shouts about ideals. I thought 18 made a good counterweight, as a grounded individual and a mother. I wanted that battle to show the difference between ideals and reality.
— Ryōta Nakamura
Toriyama's design for Ribrianne has not been made public, but he made significant corrections to Toyotarō's depiction of her grand entrance in the manga version of the Tournament of Power.[17]
Performance
Ribrianne is voiced by Rina Kitagawa in her first credited role for the franchise. In the FUNimation dub, Ribrianne is voiced by Veronica Taylor, who also voices Beriblu in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
