Editing Barry Kahn (section)

== Personality ==
Barry Kahn is the embodiment of vanity and narcissism, prioritizing his own desires and reputation above all else. He is highly self-centered and often displays a sadistic streak, such as when he pressures his stunt double into attempting a dangerous scene, only to grow envious and resentful when Gohan flawlessly performs the same stunt as his replacement.

Barry's manipulative tendencies are evident in his efforts to sabotage Gohan’s reputation. He blackmails [[Cocoa Amaguri]] into trying to lure Gohan into a compromising situation, planning to frame it as an affair to disgrace Gohan in front of Videl, [[Mr. Satan]], and the public. He takes joy in the prospect of destroying Cocoa's idol career alongside Gohan's. His actions reveal him as a prolific liar and a remorseless individual, hinting at psychopathic tendencies, as he uses charm and deceit to achieve his goals without a shred of guilt.

His deeper intentions are also sinister. Barry seeks to woo Videl and capitalize on the fame of being associated with Mr. Satan's family, despite Videl’s unwavering trust in Gohan and her outright disdain for Barry, whom she dismisses as "pathetic."

When infected by the parasitic Watagash, which amplifies the evil in its host, Barry becomes monstrously powerful, overpowering Gohan in his base form and forcing him to transform into a Super Saiyan to defeat him. Despite this transformation into a literal monster, Barry avoids harming bystanders, suggesting he retains a sliver of humanity. Ultimately, his obsession with his public image and career trumps his vengeful ambitions, as Cocoa's threat to expose his monstrous identity coerces him into silence.

Barry's charm may win over fans, but beneath the surface, he is a manipulative and deeply flawed individual whose actions reveal a selfish and morally corrupt core.
