Somehow, she always appears to have a machine gun on her, as a component of the transformation. Her personality in her bad form is tough, arrogant and serious. She sometimes antagonizes Goku and Krillin and bully them. Her transformations come in handy during the 22nd and 23rd World Martial Arts Tournaments, when she would clear the crowd and allow her friends to get up in front. Additionally, in the later episodes of the series, she seems to begin to control her maniac tendencies as well remembering what the other side was doing, whereas her earlier transformations in the series turned her into a berserk maniac with no memory of any of the gang.
In fact, later on in the story, the blonde Launch begins to become more caring and loving towards other, caring for Goku and the others, developing quite a crush on Tien Shinhan , and even crying after Krillin's death, though she is still a lot more aggressive than her other half. Main article: Tournament Saga. Launch's blonde counterpart was the most-wanted criminal in Brown Country.
One day, after turning into her blonde self when sneezing in a bar, she robs a train, getting the police to chase her. During the chase, she accidentally sneezes, bringing her back to her weak and innocent form. Launch is saved by the young martial artists Goku and Krillin , while they are on Master Roshi 's order to find him a woman. Goku and Krillin think the police officers are just impersonators, and Goku knocks them unconscious while Krillin hides.
Launch is then brought to Kame House , where she is introduced to the turtle hermit Master Roshi. She agrees to stay with them so she can train with them and lay low from the authorities looking for her. Roshi gives Launch some clothes which he calls a "fighting uniform", but is actually lingerie.
Then, just as they are about to begin, a bee comes and tickles Launch's nose, making her sneeze into her bad side. She does not like what she is wearing, and angrily shoots Master Roshi, Krillin, and Goku. While she is shooting them, she then sneezes again and apologizes for shooting at them, and explains that she changes personalities whenever she sneezes. Once they move to the Training Island , Launch decides to just cook and clean the house instead, since she does not like fighting.
Two days after recovering from the poorly prepared pufferfish, Krillin and Master Roshi sleep in the living room while Goku and Launch sleep together in the same bed. In her good side, she sneezes while in her sleep. One morning, Launch in her bad side finds Goku in the same bed as her, and shoots at him. Pushing him too far, Goku fights back and knocks Launch out with a kick to the face.
Another time, Launch is eating dinner with the gang when Krillin begins to put pepper on his food, causing Launch to sneeze. She shoots at them, causing them to run away.
Launch spends the next eight months cooking for Goku, Krillin and Roshi as they prepare for the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament while all three try to avoid Launch's angry blonde side.
Launch stays at the house while the three go to the tournament. You call that slop food! In case I forgot to mention it, I'm allergic to garbage. After the World Martial Tournament is over, Launch, Krillin and Roshi moves back to Roshi's island and Launch continues her duties of cooking and cleaning.
When Goku and Bulma come to the get a submarine from Roshi. Roshi receives Bulma's Micro Band in exchange for his submarine and, once Goku, Bulma and Krillin leave in the submarine, Roshi into constantly bugs Launch into to taking a bath , so he can spy on her. Soon, Launch's bad form comes out and takes command in Kame House, which then comes to an agreement to not shoot Roshi as long as he does what she says.
One time, Master Roshi gives her some food, which tastes awful. She is about to shoot at him when Turtle , who came back from vacation recently, brings Launch back to her good form by rubbing her nose with a weed. Roshi easily defeats them, but one threatens to shoot Launch if he does not give up. Turtle luckily turns Launch back to her bad form by once again by rubbing her nose with a weed, resulting in her beating the soldier herself. Later on, Launch joins Yamcha , Roshi, Bulma, Turtle and Krillin to go help Goku fight the Red Ribbon Army at their main base , but by the time they got there, all the troops were single-handedly defeated by Goku.
Main article: Tien Shinhan Saga. You wanna do this the hard way!? Well you got the right girl. After three years have passed and the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament is approaching, the good Launch is going to stay behind at Kame House, but she sneezes and her bad form decides to come along. While there, Roshi meets up with his old rival Master Shen , the crane hermit. While getting annoyed with him Launch tries shooting him with her machine gun, but Master Shen is able to catch all the bullets with his hand without being hurt.
Next, Launch is able to get the crowd into the front row by shooting a gun up in the air, causing people to get scared and move. She cheers for her friends and sneezes at times, appearing either in her good side or bad side in the crowd. Later on, when Goku was matched against Pamput , Pamput's manager tricked Goku into leaving the arena so he would be disqualified for not showing to the match, but Launch who was getting ice cream at the time saw this and chased after the car on a motorcycle.
Launch chased them into an alleyway, and then beat up his bodyguards and the manager, allowing Goku to get to the fight on time.
During Goku and Krillin's fight, Launch urges her friends to get some backbone and pick a side, while she chooses to root for Krillin. However, after the match is over, she compliments both of their skills and joyously wants to go out to eat to celebrate. Launch goes over and tries to smash Chiaotzu with a mallet, but the Crane Hermit interferes with his pinky and easily pushes Launch out of the way.
After the tournament is over, Launch becomes attracted to Tien. Main article: King Piccolo Saga. Don't talk like you're not comin' home. If any of you get splattered, I swear I'll fill you with so many bullets, you'll jump back to life just to beg me for mercy! Launch is with the group when they find Krillin dead, and, even though she is in her bad form, she is just as sad as everyone else.
After Goku raced off to find Krillin's killer , Master Roshi, upon seeing the symbol on a piece of paper nearby, tells the group of King Piccolo , Launch finds his name stupid. While this short film is considered part of Dragon Ball canon, however, Launch's return is short-lived, as she is absent once again in Dragon Ball Super and the modern series of movie releases. While not significant enough to be considered a plot hole, Launch is a curious and amusing inconsistency within the world of Dragon Ball , and her appearances are as unpredictable as her personality.

Though I am not saying that she is a pure Saiyan as Saiyan typically have black hair and eyes apparently , but a hybrid as said by Vegeta, with Saiyan blood in her to a degree.
That is the reason why her hair does not spike. A non-pure blood super Saiyan female has never been seen before in the series.
Akira Toriyama, the creator of the series, says that Super Saiyan female character might look different. Maybe, this is what he was pointing at. But the idea seems to stay in the head of creator since launch and it feels that Super Saiyan are not original. The creator of the series, Akira Toriyama pointed out the reason why transformation changed the hair color of the character from blue to blonde is because he wanted to make things easier for his associate.
In normal instances, his associate had to take a good deal of time to color the hair of Goku and all of the others for all pages. In this regard, the creator eased things for his associate. Launch was one of the main characters of Dragon Ball. Later, she became a side character in Dragon Ball Z, and then she suddenly disappeared. So, what exactly happened to her? Did she die? The last time Launch appeared was when Tien died after the fight with Napa.
Years later, in an interview, when the creator, Toriyama was questioned about the disappearance of the character after Saiyan saga, he revealed that he had largely forgotten the mysterious character. That means she would be seen in the future appearances.
However, the appearance of the character is as unpredictable as her personality. He confesses that he sometimes has trouble keeping track of them. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.
