This guy was an awesome villain. I always loved that he had "Kill You" on the back of his outfit/

What's that? Only fruitcakes wear pink? Don't let Mercenary Tao hear you say that, or you'll be dead before you hit the ground.

He was a pretty good villain, it's a shame he was beaten with only a little bit of training, would've been nice to see him more often, but then again, I'm glad he went out the way he did.

Haven't heard that name in a while and might not remember it wasn't for his coming back in DBZ right before the Cell Games. Anyway, I liked this Tao from Dragonball better. The Makes me wanna watch DB all the way through, then look for the couple episodes Tao Pai Pai reappears in working for the mobster. That good, seriously!

"Seems the chicken has brought his own frying pan!"

If you're really a Tao Pai Pai fan, you know where that's from haha not all filler material is worthless...

Tao Pai Pai is a really fun character, I liked him both as a human and as a cyborg, it was a unique transition, and it was funny how he was still weak compared to everyone after he became a cyborg.

Madden08Favre In reply to TimothyJamesF [2010-01-05 19:14:38 +0000 UTC]

I always thought it was funny how the weaker characters like him tried underhanded tactics to compensate for their weaknesses too; like Raditz tricking Goku into letting go of him, Cui lying about Frieza coming, and Dr. Gero hiding in the rocky outcrops waiting for an energy blast to absorb.

Tao Pai Pai's last ditch effort of throwing the grenade at Goku at Dragonball was hilarious and so was the puzzle he gave Goku which his henchman wanted to help him solve anyway.

I have a request. Could you make a drawing of my DBZ Fan Character, since, from the looks of it, your a GREAT drawer? Here's the link:[link]
Please draw the SSJ4 Form, because I like that one the best.

Lt. Koryu (my dude): Tao! We meet again! I will "repay" you for discharging the power which is clearly greater than yours!
General Tao: Koryu! What.. what are you? You remind me of the improved... G-g-g-GOKU!! No! You're a Saiyan, too?!
Koryu: Now it seems I have the upper hand, hm, Mister "Worlds Greatest Assassin?"

DBZSPRITES In reply to 2wingo [2009-10-03 02:12:57 +0000 UTC]

General Tao? No. They never met face-to-face, because General Tao didn't know about that place in the sky. If you're talking about Goku, though, yes, he did train with Korin, when Korin was young and had the agility and strength to fight.

Mercenary Tao DID run up the pole in the sky in the anime, but Korin just gave him the water without the training.
