Name
Amond's name (アモンド Amondo) reduces the elongated syllable in the Japanese approximation of "almond" (アーモンド āmondo)[8]; all Tullece Corps members (Amond, Cacao, Daiz, Rakasei, and Rezun) feature names based on types of beans or nuts.
Amond is not referred to by name during the third theatrical Dragon Ball Z film; the character's name is first documented in the film's ending credits.
Production
Amond's back-history regarding him being a galactic criminal arrested by the space police organization and subsequently jailed on Planet Nutz, where he later breaks out and joins with Tullece, is not present within the third theatrical Dragon Ball Z film where he appears; rather, this information is only included within the theatrical brochure (as well as the related "Akira Toriyama: The World Special" book).
Said reference to a "space police organization" is the first of its kind in the Dragon Ball franchise, and a likely lore predecessor to what would eventually become the Galactic Patrol.
Performance
Amond is played by Banjō Ginga in one of his many Dragon Ball franchise performances (alongside characters such as Giran, Captain Silver, and Bora).
In FUNimation's 1998 three-episode television presentation and subsequent uncut presentation of the third theatrical Dragon Ball Z film on home video, Amond is played by Paul Dobson[1]. In the company's 2005 redub of said film, Amond is played by Paul Slavens.
Amond (credited as "Almond") is played by Lutz Schnell in the German dub of the film produced by the AB Groupe.
Notable Appearances
Amond's primary appearance is the third theatrical Dragon Ball Z film from 1990.
Amond makes playable video game appearances in the Dragon Ball Heroes game series, debuting as part of the fourth update in the game's initial series with HG4-49. These inclusions carry forward to the Nintendo 3DS games Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission, Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2, and Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X, where Amond makes various appearances in the new story modes, as well as appearances from the respective arcade game cards and missions. Though he is not part of the arcade content the game otherwise compiles, Amond appears in a story mode side mission and as a custom card creation option in Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission, where various statistics and techniques can be applied to him.
Amond also appears as a playable character in the mobile game Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle.
Techniques
Planet Bomb
Planet Bomb (プラネットボム Puranetto Bomu) is Amond's primary special attack in Dragon Ball Heroes, as well as in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle where it "causes damage and prevents super attack".[9] Planet Bomb in its various incarnations is available on Heroes cards HG4-49, HG4-50, HG5-23, HG5-24, HG8-24, SH4-22, and UM11-024.
Cruel Attack
Amond's Cruel Attack (残酷な攻撃 Zankokuna Kōgeki) is a special ability in Dragon Ball Heroes. If the attacker's special move is available for use, they may use this one-time ability to lock on to an enemy, reducing that character's guard by 1000 and making them the target of the attack. Cruel Attack is available on card HG8-24.
Frightening Gaze
Amond's Frightening Gaze (恐怖の視線 Kyōfu no Shisen) is a special ability in Dragon Ball Heroes. If the attacker's special move is available for use, they may use this one-time ability to lock on to an enemy, reducing that character's energy and making them the target of the attack. Frightening Gaze is available on card SH4-22.
Victorious Triple Attack
Amond's Victorious Triple Attack (勝利のトリプルアタック Shōri no Toripuru Atakku) is a special ability in Dragon Ball Heroes. Anytime after the start of the second round, the attacker may use this ability once during the team attack to perform a Triple Attack with their two teammates. Furthermore, if the enemy is hit by a Super Triple, the damage will be doubled. Victorious Triple Attack is available on card UM11-024.
Invulnerable Gigantic Warrior
Amond's Invulnerable Gigantic Warrior (鉄壁の巨漢戦士 Teppeki no Kyokan Senshi) is an ability in Dragon Ball Heroes that allows the player to take greatly reduced damage from attacks if their power is lower than the enemy's power. Invulnerable Gigantic Warrior is available on cards HG4-50, HG5-23, and UM11-024.
Fruit of the Tree of Godly Might
Amond's Fruit of the Tree of Godly Might (神精樹の実 Shinseiju no Mi) is an ability in Dragon Ball Heroes that grants "+1500 to Battle Power and Power" at the start of the second round. Fruit of the Tree of Godly Might is available on card HG4-49.
Universe Wrecker
Amond's Universe Wrecker (宇宙の壊し屋 Uchū no Kowashiya) is an ability in Dragon Ball Heroes. At the end of the round, if the player's team's HP is below 50%, the enemy team's Hero Energy is reduced by 3. Universe Wrecker is available on cards HG5-24 and HG8-24.
Gigantic Warrior
Amond's Gigantic Warrior (巨漢戦士 Kyokan Senshi) is a passive ability in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle granting "ATK and DEF +10% for all allies".[9]
Notes
Amond uses the でっせ (desse) expression in place of a standard です (desu) state-of-being verb; this is a speech quirk notable in Awaji, Osaka, and Kansai dialects.
ターレス様｡ お喜びください｡ 地球の土壌は神精樹を栽培するのに適しているようでっせ｡
Tāresu-sama. Oyorokobi kudasai. Chikyū no dojō wa shinseiju o saibai suru no ni tekishite iru yō desse.
Lord Tullece. You will be most pleased. Earth's soil appears to be suitable for growing the Tree of Godly Might.
