'''Flake''' is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, a male [[Cerelian]] killed by the [[Saiyan]] [[Leek]] during the invasion of [[Planet Cereal]]. Flake appears in flashback material in the ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' manga-original "Granolla the Survivor arc" in [[Dragon Ball Super Chapter 77|chapter 77]].

While not explicitly called out as such in the story content, in an August 2022 video Q&A with [[Victory Uchida]] and [[Toyotarō]] on the ''Dragon Ball Official Site'', Toyotarō noted that he drew Flake as if he were [[Granolla]]'s father, with the caveat that this was not information from [[Akira Toriyama]] and that Toriyama may have later thoughts or clarifications as to who Granolla's father might be.<ref name="namepun"></ref>

==Biography==
Forty years prior to the events of the "Granolla the Survivor arc", the native [[Cerelian|Cerelians]] and a group of [[Namekians]] live on [[Planet Cereal]] peacefully together. A group from [[Freeza]]'s army — including a batch of Saiyans — arrive and begin attacking everyone in sight. With Planet Cereal currently experiencing a full moon, the Saiyans transform into their [[Great Ape]] forms. The Cerelians and Namekians are systematically scouted, retrieved, grouped, and murdered. Hanging from a building continuing to scout, [[Leek|one Saiyan]] peeks through a building to see a woman Cerelian and her young child hiding in terror. From a distance, an older Cerelian shouts for another one — Flake — to fire. The Saiyan rushes in to stop the Cerelian, but takes a double-fingered ''ki'' blast point-blank to the face, giving him a scar that runs up his forehead; the ''ki'' blast continues up to destroy the moon, reducing the Saiyans to their normal forms. The Saiyans are still more than enough to handle the Cerelians; a different, mustached Saiyan delivers the final blow to Flake, knocking his now-dead body down from his perch high above.<ref>{{Cite manga|Series=Super|Chp=77}}</ref>

==Name==
Flake's name spelling of フレイク (''fureiku'') adjusts the middle elongated syllable in フレーク (''furēku'') from "corn flakes"<ref name="namepun"></ref> and instead adapts this into its own two separate syllables with レイ (''rei'').

Viz's English translation of the ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga does not reflect this spelling change in the base word, and renders the name as "Flake" directly.

==Production==

Flake appears in the "Granolla the Survivor arc" of the ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga, a story arc initially outlined by [[Akira Toriyama]] and produced as a manga by [[Toyotarō]].

==Notable Appearances==

Thus far, Flake appears exclusively in the ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' manga.

==Performance==

Thus far, Flake appears exclusively in the ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' manga; as such, no voice has been assigned.
