Editing Staff Officer Black (section)

== Personality ==
Staff Officer Black is soft-spoken, intelligent, and highly competent, serving as a dependable aide to Commander Red. While he dutifully carries out Red's orders, from relaying commands to ensuring Red's comfort, Black also provides valuable insights, such as deducing that [[Goku]] had assistance in locating the Dragon Balls.

However, Black's loyalty has limits. Upon discovering that Red's true goal for the Dragon Balls is to wish for increased height rather than world domination, Black becomes enraged by Red's selfishness. His disillusionment culminates in him killing Red and assuming command of the army. In the anime, this act is also partially motivated by anger at Red for nearly causing his death with a trap ceiling.

Though dedicated to the Red Ribbon Army, Black displays a pragmatic and ruthless side. He is willing to sacrifice his subordinates for strategic gains, as seen when he fires a high-powered missile at Goku and the base, disregarding the lives of his troops. In ''The Path to Power'', he similarly supports [[General Blue]]'s execution after a mission failure and secretly develops the Battle Jacket without Red's knowledge, implying underlying ambitions even before his coup.

These traits, combined with his tactical mindset and eventual betrayal, make Staff Officer Black one of the more dynamic and morally complex figures within the Red Ribbon Army.
