Despite this, he still attempting to get revenge on Goku. Regardless of his negative traits, Pilaf does seem to show more compassion in Dragon Ball Super, like helping Trunks in math in return for letting him and his gang stay over at his house. That said, him sometimes taking such risks makes him a bit more dangerous prior to his reformation. In fact, some of his schemes (such as releasing King Piccolo or reviving Frieza) end up having potentially dangerous consequences for the very world he wishes to conquer. Pilaf is notorious as a bumbling and ultimately inept comical villain. Thus, while he has committed some heinous crimes, most of his worsts are due to his strong sense of entitlement. Furthermore, he expressed disgust towards some of King Piccolo's worst actions. Despite his immature attitude, Pilaf has some degree of reserve in the manga, where he is disgusted by Bulma's 'diseased' confession that she figured he would strip and violate her as punishment for not giving him the final Dragon Ball. If something bothers him, he will cry, whine, and complain until he gets what he wants. He has no special powers and usually keeps his henchmen in line by torture devices he keeps in his castle or by taking advantage of their refusal to fight back, and can also act like a parent figure to his lackeys, once telling them he was cutting their allowance.

In Dragon Ball GT, Pilaf is slightly older and holds a staff.Įmperor Pilaf acts as if he is king of the world all because of his 'toys'. On the front of his tunic, he has a red circle with simplified red Chinese characters 炒饭 ( chǎofàn), which means 'fried rice', in the center.

He also wears blue pants and cream shoes (black in the manga) and a multi-colored hat that has the colors of red and dark blue. Emperor Pilaf is a small, blue, impish creature who wears a green, red and black tunic with a frill on the neck.
