==Personality== General Blue is one of the most complex villains in ''Dragon Ball'', embodying a mixture of military precision, flamboyant narcissism, and deep-seated psychological traits. His design and characterization include explicit references to historical and cultural archetypes, particularly linked to 20th-century German militarism. Below is a summary of his attributes and traits based on your detailed breakdown: #'''Historical and Cultural Inspiration''': #*General Blue's appearance, demeanor, and behavior are influenced by German military archetypes, including Nazi Germany. #*His blond hair and blue eyes align with Adolf Hitler's Aryan ideal. His military attire mirrors the S.A. trooper uniforms of the Nazi Party. #*The Viz manga adds to this connection with his use of the German phrase "Auf Wiedersehen" before setting up an explosive trap. #'''Personality Traits''': #*'''Sadistic and Narcissistic''': Blue exhibits a love for violence, often relishing fear and suffering. His obsession with his appearance qualifies him as a narcissist. #*'''Homosexuality and Misogyny''': Implied to be homosexual, Blue reacts negatively to female advances and shows disdain for women in general, possibly linked to his discomfort with traditional gender dynamics. #*'''Militarism and Perfectionism''': As a commander, Blue is strict, enforcing discipline with harsh punishments. His perfectionist tendencies extend to both his subordinates and himself. #'''Combat and Intelligence''': #*Blue is an adept fighter with superhuman strength and psychic abilities, using these skills strategically. #*As a tactician, he uses clever traps and exploits the abilities of tools like the Dragon Radar, showcasing his intelligence and resourcefulness. #'''Interaction with Others''': #*'''With Subordinates''': Blue is abusive and condescending, often punishing perceived incompetence harshly. He occasionally shows reluctant care for his troops but prioritizes discipline. #*'''With Enemies''': Blue underestimates opponents like Goku initially but adapts when proven wrong. His disdain for "fair play" contrasts with his confidence in his own abilities. #'''Flamboyant Behavior''': #*His effeminate mannerisms and narcissism make him one of the most distinct characters in ''Dragon Ball''. The English dub exaggerates these traits for comedic effect, while the manga portrays him as more calculating and menacing. #'''Role in the Red Ribbon Army''': #*Blue is a loyal but self-serving member of the Red Ribbon Army, often focusing on personal gain, such as his attempt to claim pirate treasure. #*Despite his loyalty, he shows a lack of interest in the ultimate goals of the army, following orders without question or curiosity. #'''Anime vs. Manga''': #*The manga portrays Blue as more serious and calculating, while the anime emphasizes his perfectionism, flamboyance, and sadistic tendencies. #*Differences in localization add layers to his character, particularly in his interactions and mannerisms. #'''Additional Details''': #*Blue's fear of rodents and aversion to filth are recurring comedic elements in the series, reflecting his perfectionist and germophobic tendencies. #*His implied pedophilic tendencies and aggressive advances toward Trunks in games like ''Dokkan Battle'' are notable but controversial extensions of his character. General Blue's character provides a mix of dark humor, historical allegory, and genuine threat, making him a memorable part of the ''Dragon Ball'' series.
