if you think about it, the red ribbon army's military might was crazy, even comparable to that of the american military. But goku went by himself and killed everybody.
For all those asking in the Manga he was the one who built all the robots for the RRA including Android 8 and Seargent Metallic.
In the anime however there is a filler with a doctor who supposedly built Android 8, at this time Gero hasn't even appeared in the Manga and wasn't even thought of. Thus in the Anime Gero built every Robot EXCEPT Android 8. In the Manga though he built all of em. When Goku attacked it is said that gero was in his Lab in the Mountains far away from the base.
I have a question how the hell does Dr. Gero have anything to do with Red Ribbon? I know Dr. Gero use to be a human and 19 put his brain in a robot but I am wondering how Dr. Gero became part of the Red Ribbon Army.
@MISTofDAN He was a scientist who survived the RR onslaught caused by goku. He seeks vengeance on goku and created android 13,14,15,16,17,18 just to kill goku.
Is there a version where its just the instrumentals and no lyrics? It's not that I dont like the lyrics, I just like the music better. If anyone knows please respond. Thanks! :)
I'd like to see a darker and edgier version of the Red Ribbon army that took itself more seriously, that would be cool. Cause the actual song lyrics are pretty hardcore. It's basically singing about how the army will lay waste to love and throw the world into terror, destroy cities, are demons from the pits of hell that scorch the sky, don't know the value of life, etc.
Agreed, it sounds like a slight mix of the Monty Norman Bond theme and the John Barry Goldfinger theme. "The name's Goku. Son Goku" and instead of a gun barrel opening... a Kamehameha to the screen!
I never watched the anime. I only read the mangas and played some games. I bought Dragon Ball Origins 2 last week and I though it would be some music that was in the game since you fight the Red Ribbon Army in almost every level.
This couldn't be the singer from this song it Takayuki Miyauchi, right? The one he did his tokusatsu work series like Bioman, Shaider, and Kamen Rider Black RX. Because this song sound like Takayuki. Reply, please?
All I remember about the lyrics of this song is calling out colors and very sinister lyrics. These guys were the real deal. I know that some people have argued about the Red Ribbon being more for comedy [check the other comments], but that's simply because DB needed it for the lack of more intense fight scenes found in DBZ. These were probably my favorite enemies ever next to the Yellow Turban rebellion in Dynasty Warriors! To think Commander Red collected the Dragon Balls to make himself tall!
The Red Ribbon Army certainly had an impressive theme song. Too bad they weren't that impressive. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying they were as pathetic as, say, the Ginyu Force. The Red Ribbon Army was a genuine menace to the world. But it has to be admitted that most of their people were played for laughs, except Mercenary Tao. King Piccolo was the first completely serious major Dragon Ball villain. Of course, Piccolo didn't have a theme song like this one...
Yeah when this show was first made, Japan was still stuck in the 80's though it was the end of that decade. So naturally themes involving American-type military had 80's American pop music....So that's why the theme turned out that way, and of course various action themes when Goku is fighting them is also 80's in style.
el ejercito de la cinta roja,nada tiene que ver con el ejercito aleman nazi,ni con el ejercito ruso sovietico,solo es un poderoso ejercito de mercenarios sin ideologia politica.
yeah i was joking i know they are the representaition of the nazi army, what i was saying was in way later in dragon ball Z they had hitler and his army, they litteraly have hitler in the movie fusion reborn!
I am now just done with watching the King Picollo saga and 3 months ago i couldnt believe i would say this but: Dragonball > Z/GT! Originiall DRAGONBALL FTW! Btw some of the best moments ever in the whole series (SPPOILER)
When Son Goku finds Kuririn dead and roshi discovers its the work of Piccolo Daimao. Just way too emotional and epic.
I think the Red Ribbon Army is basically a Japanese parody of China's 'People's Liberation Army'. Hence the red ribbon thing, because the early Chinese Red Army didn't have uniforms so they just wore red rags tied around their arms.
@Manifestation Exactly, This series was created by a guy who listened to 70's and 80's music, so you can see the influence Lol, I'm surprised I didn't hear more themes from the Bruce Lee movies in this series Lol.
En 1997 una chica llamada lauren,estaba caminando por el bosque,despues desaparecio de repente nunca nadie la encontro hasta el 2000 cuando otra chica llamada Mary encontro su cuerpo y unas marcas en su pecho que decian:no era lo suficientemente hermosa"y ahora que has leido esto ella aparecera en tu espejo diciendo que no ereds lo suficientemente hermoso y te matara!(por cierto la chica llamada Mary murio poco despues)Para poder salvarte pega esto en otros 5 videos.ESTO ES CIErto
no actually i think the nazi army is the representation of the nazi army, even though ill admit general blue was the representation of "hitlers perfect solider" but if you want to see some real representation of hitler watch "Dragonball Z: Fusion reborn" in that movie they literally have hitler in it
this should be the hitler's army theme
