==Biography==

===''Dragon Ball''===

====Red Ribbon Army Saga====
General Blue is an intricate antagonist in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, noted for his cunning intelligence, fearlessness, and unique powers. His story arc showcases a blend of comedy, action, and character complexity.

Initially, Blue underestimates [[Goku]] but quickly adapts, showcasing his ability to strategize and prioritize his missions. His introduction as ruthless and calculating is evident when he interrogates his injured soldiers for intel, regardless of their condition, and tasks Captain Dark with reconnaissance on Kame House. His telekinetic abilities further establish him as a formidable foe, paralyzing [[Krillin]] and Goku during their encounters.

Blue's personality is multifaceted—he exhibits vanity and disdain for those he deems inferior, evident in his reactions to [[Bulma|Bulma's]] advances and his insults toward Captain Dark. His implied homosexuality adds a layer of depth, subtly influencing his interactions and driving humor in his scenes with Bulma and Krillin.

His rivalry with Goku escalates in the Pirate Cave, where his tactical use of traps and powers adds tension. Despite his prowess, Blue's weakness to fear, notably his reaction to a mouse, humanizes him and allows Goku to gain the upper hand. His survival instincts shine when he escapes the collapsing cave and successfully steals the Dragon Radar.

Blue's involvement in Penguin Village introduces a crossover with ''Dr. Slump'', where his arrogance and clashing demeanor lead to humorous and chaotic encounters with [[Arale Norimaki]] and others. This segment highlights his adaptability but also his comedic vulnerability when faced with the absurdities of Toriyama's earlier work.

Upon returning to Red Ribbon Army headquarters, Blue's desperation to prove his worth peaks. Despite retrieving the Dragon Radar, his failure to secure the Dragon Balls leads to his ultimate downfall. His death at the hands of Mercenary Tao—a stark demonstration of the latter's superiority—underscores the brutal hierarchy within the Red Ribbon Army.

====Fortuneteller Baba Saga====
In the ''Fortuneteller Baba Saga'', General Blue is briefly referenced when Bulma recounts Goku's achievements, highlighting his role as a significant adversary during Goku's journey to collect the Dragon Balls.

===Dragon Ball GT===
In ''Dragon Ball GT'', during the ''Super 17 Saga'', General Blue reemerges when a portal to Hell is opened by [[Dr. Gero]] and [[Dr. Myuu]]. Alongside other Red Ribbon Army members and past villains, Blue is quickly defeated by [[Pan]] and sent back to Hell. His interactions in the Check-In Station with [[Staff Officer Black]] reveal his sarcastic wit and self-awareness, as he points out the irony of Black mocking the other defeated villains while sharing their fate. Later, Blue teams up with familiar villains in Hell, underscoring his loyalty to the Red Ribbon cause, even in the afterlife.

===Super Dragon Ball Heroes===
In ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'', General Blue participates in the ''Supreme Kai of Time Saga'' as part of the Super Space-Time Tournament. Competing alongside other iconic Red Ribbon figures, Blue's appearance showcases his resilience and willingness to fight under extreme circumstances. Despite being defeated and erased alongside his team due to their failure in the tournament, his inclusion signifies his lasting impression as a villain within the ''Dragon Ball'' mythos.

===Film Appearances===
General Blue's appearances in the ''Dragon Ball'' films expand on his character while reimagining his role in alternate versions of the series' narrative. These depictions further emphasize his notable traits, including his psychic abilities and unwavering allegiance to the Red Ribbon Army.

In ''Mystical Adventure'', Blue is reimagined as Lieutenant Blue, a loyal guard in Emperor [[Chiaotzu|Chiaotzu's]] Mifan Army. His role shifts to that of a supporting protagonist, showcasing a rare honorable side as he warns Chiaotzu about [[Master Shen]]'s treacherous plans to use the Dragon Balls for a coup. Despite his valiant efforts, Blue's psychic powers and swordsmanship are no match for Mercenary Tao, who swiftly kills him with a pressure point attack, mirroring his fate in the original series.

In ''The Path to Power'', Blue returns to his more familiar role as a high-ranking member of the Red Ribbon Army. His brief success in capturing Goku's group is overshadowed by his ultimate demise at the hands of [[Commander Red]]'s subordinates. His execution underscores Commander Red's vindictive nature, as it is implied that Blue's height inadvertently aggravated Red's insecurities. This portrayal highlights Blue's loyalty and tragic fate, reinforcing his role as both a capable yet ultimately expendable officer in the Red Ribbon Army.

In ''Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero'', General Blue is briefly featured in a flashback montage during the Red Ribbon Army's history recap. His defeat by Goku in the Pirate Cave is revisited, serving as a nod to his original series role and maintaining his connection to the Red Ribbon Army's enduring legacy.
