Appearance[edit | edit source]

In his third and final form, he takes on a more sleek appearance where his body is capable of turning into a liquid like metal.

Personality[edit | edit source]

General Rilldo is a stern and arrogant commander. He believes in the superiority of Machine Mutants to all biological beings, especially humans and Saiyans.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

General Rilldo was formerly an ordinary alien, around Age 760 to 770 of the Dragon Ball timeline. He was restructured into a Machine Mutant by Dr. Myuu to be the leader of his Machine Mutant armies on M-2.

Dragon Ball GT[edit | edit source]

Black Star Dragon Ball Saga[edit | edit source]

Rilldo is first seen when Dolltaki tries to inform Dr. Myuu of Luud's defeat. However, in Myuu's place is General Rilldo, who murders Dolltaki for his failures. Later, when Goku, Pan, and Trunks arrive on the planet M-2 with Giru, Rilldo sends the Sigma Force to capture them.

Baby Saga[edit | edit source]

The Sigma Force eventually manage to capture Goku and Trunks, and bring them back to Rilldo.

While their power levels are being scanned, the Machine Mutants become concerned with Goku's power, and show this information to General Rilldo, who becomes surprised and concerned himself. The Sigma Force are eventually defeated by Goku, even after turning into the Super Mega Cannon Sigma, leaving the hot-headed Rilldo to take care of the two by himself.

Sensing his approach, Trunks becomes stunned by the almost impossible Ki that he can feel. Goku meanwhile is amazed too saying that Rilldo is even more powerful than Buu. Pan attacks Rilldo and to everyone's surprise knocks him down, when he fires back using his Metal Breath, Trunks intercepts taking the attack in place of Pan and is turned into metal and transported away.

When attacking Goku, Rilldo turns the surroundings into metal when Goku dodges all of Rilldo's Metal Breath beams. He instead decides to fight Goku the old fashioned way and dukes it out over the skies of M-2 however it isn't long before Goku gains the advantage in the battle. After Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, Rilldo combines with the four members of the Sigma Force and powers up to his Hyper Meta Rilldo form. As Goku once again begins to gain the upper hand, Rilldo transforms again to allow him to fuse with any metal on the planet. Eventually, Rilldo succeeds in turning both Goku and Pan into metal.

Later, while the trio try to leave the planet M-2, Rilldo stops them by grabbing hold of the Grand Tour Spaceship. Trunks tries to reason with him, saying he was nothing but a pawn in Dr. Myuu's games, just an inferior being that would be shut down once his plans with the other creation Baby were complete. Rilldo refuses to listen, but the three fire a combined Kamehameha attack that easily kills the un-transformed Rilldo.

It is later revealed that Rilldo was in fact under the control of Baby during that time.

Super 17 Saga[edit | edit source]

General Rilldo, like other villains, escapes from Hell, thanks to Myuu and Dr. Gero. He is first seen chasing Pan and Mr. Satan, only for them to be saved by Gohan. The two end up fighting, with Rilldo easily gaining the upper hand. He is even successful in encasing Gohan's arm and leg in metal. He nearly kills Gohan, but is killed by a sneak Ki Blast attack from Majuub.

He is last seen waiting with the other villains on their way to King Yemma's Check-In Station in the Other World.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • During his battle with Goku, in the dub he remarked that if Goku were to become a Machine Mutant, he would most likely turn out like him.
  • Rilldo's shiny metal appearance in his Meta form looks similar to Meta-Coolers (both were voiced by Andrew Chandler in the Funimation dub as well). Both villains have several similarities as they both can regenerate, have Metal bodies, are effectively one with a machine planet (Big Gete Star and M-2), and manage to overwhelm and capture Goku briefly, only to be killed later on with an energy attack.
  • Early in the Baby Saga, Rilldo says that the only way he can be killed is by destroying all the metal on the planet since he can use it to recreate himself. However, he is killed later by a single blast by Trunks, Pan, and Goku when he is under the control of Baby.
  • General Rilldo closely resembles Bon Para.
  • Rilldo's metal, liquifying body in his second form is somewhat similar to the T-1000 from the Terminator series.
  • Rilldo's name is an anagram of the Japanese pronunciation for "drill" (ドリル).
