Amond is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise, serving as a henchman in the Tullece Corps under Tullece himself.

Biography

Amond moves at high speed to reflect Kuririn's Kienzan.

Son Goku defeats all members of the Tullece Corps.

Amond sports braided long hair with both ears pierced. Originally a villainous criminal traveling around the galaxy, Amond was arrested by the space police organization and jailed on Planet Nutz. He broke out when Tullece attacked Nutz, and became one of Tullece's men. Amond is the largest of the Tullece Corps members, but is still quite agile. Amond sports a large wound on his left cheek and is notable for use of the "-desse" expression.

Along with the Tullece Corps, Amond scouts Earth as a planting ground for the Tree of Godly Might. On the planet's surface, Amond uses an explosive technique from two fingers to create a hole which Daiz flips the tree's seed into. Amond and the rest of the Tullece Corps confront Son Goku and the others following the tree's growth. Amond does battle with Kuririn, turning at high speeds to reflect the Kienzan. Amond and the other Tullece Corps members later attack Goku all at once, who grows angry and defeats them in front of Tullece.

Amond's battle power is 9100.

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); 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

Character biographies for Tullece and his henchmen, including Amond, from the brochure available to attendees of the Summer 1990 Toei Anime Fair.

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. 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.
