Yuzun is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise, debuting as one of Moro and Saganbo's henchmen in the Dragon Ball Super manga-original "Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc".

Biography

Yuzun arrives on Planet Yardrat with a group of Moro's henchmen intent on securing its energy for their boss. Their arrival interrupts Vegeta's training; Iriko points Yuzun out by name as one of Saganbo's men. Recognizing the Galactic Patrolman from back on Planet Namek, Yuzun attempts to contact Moro, but an unintentionally-large attack from Vegeta stops him. Yuzun screams for his lackeys to attack, but Vegeta handily counters them both. Yuzun proceeds to transform into a monster-like form, which Vegeta comments he has seen variations on before. Despite Yuzun's initial confidence, Vegeta effortless overpowers him at each pass (including catching an entire building throw at him). Yuzun then pumps the top of a building full of energy to toss at Vegeta, who once again reflects it back. As Yuzun then deflects his own attack back up into the sky, Vegeta rushes in with a kick to the gut, pushing Yuzun to the edge of a cliff. Vegeta gives Yuzun a chance to surrender to the Galactic Patrol, but Yuzun laughs, explaining that Moro's next target is not here at Yardrat, but is some planet called Earth. Noticing that this flusters Vegeta, Yuzun takes the opportunity to confirm with his goons that an escape ship is ready. Yuzun cackles his farewell atop the ship, but in that very moment, the powered-up building top from before falls back down toward the planet, crushing the spaceship (and henchmen) in its path.[1]

Name

Yuzun's name is likely sourced from yuzu, a small citrus fruit and plant, adapting the syllables in katakana as ユズ (yuzu) and adding an ン (n) ending. Considering the character's design elements and specific type of transformation ability, this pun source would nicely fall in line with that of Zarbon: the pomelo, the largest citrus fruit (called ザボン zabon in Japanese) in the family Rutaceae, of which yuzu is also a member. Incidentally, the Chinese source word (柚子 yòuzi) now refers to the pomelo itself.
