Editing Mercenary Tao (section)

===''Mystical Adventure''===
In Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure, Tao is known as General Tao, one of the main antagonists alongside his brother, Master Shen. Together, they plot to take control of the kingdom of Mifan, ruled by Emperor Chiaotzu. To further their scheme, they have Pilaf, Shu, and Mai create a Global Dragon Radar, and after its completion, Tao attacks the [[Emperor Pilaf|Pilaf]] Gang. Using the radar, Tao and Shen manipulate Chiaotzu's army into collecting the Dragon Balls for them by secretly stealing his beloved "wife" Ran Ran.

When Lieutenant Blue nearly exposes their plot by revealing where Ran Ran is hidden, Tao kills him just before the start of Chiaotzu's tournament. During the event, Tao is ordered to kill Bora in front of the crowd. Easily dodging Bora's attack, Tao throws him into a spear held by a statue, killing him. Enraged by Bora's death, Goku attacks Tao, but after his clothes are damaged by a Kamehameha, Tao retaliates with a Dodon Ray, blasting Goku far away to Korin Tower.

After changing his clothes, Tao heads to where Goku landed, using a pillar from the castle as transportation. On his way, he passes through Penguin Village, where he is humorously knocked off the pillar by [[Arale Norimaki|Arale]]'s rock throw. After falling, Tao tries to ignore Arale, but Goku arrives and a confrontation begins. However, Arale and the Gatchans tie Tao’s ponytail to a tree, stopping him momentarily. After freeing himself, Tao uses the Dodon Ray on Arale, only to find it has no effect. The Gatchans retaliate by shooting beams at Tao, and he resumes his fight with Goku.

Tao tries to fake a surrender by shaking Goku's hand and then steals Goku's Dragon Ball. He flees in a vehicle from a capsule and launches two missiles at Goku and Arale. However, both Goku and Arale deflect the missiles back, causing them to destroy Tao’s vehicle, killing him in the process.
