Shen instructs Tien to kill Goku in the arena to avenge his death, but, thanks to Master Roshi, Tien comes to his senses and ceases his affiliation with the Crane School, with Chiaotzu following him. During the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, Master Shen learns of Goku's encounter with his brother, Tao. Though Goku presumed Tao dead, Tao used all of the money he gained from his previous jobs to be rebuilt as a cyborg. Tao then jumps high into the air to avoid the explosion, Goku kicks the grenade back at him, which detonates and seemingly kills the assassin. While Goku is asking Upa if he thinks they should let him go, Tao throws a grenade at Goku whose back is still turned. Seeing that he was still no match for Goku, Tao pretends to surrender, tricking Goku for a split second. Tao challenges Goku again when the Nimbus crashes into the ground and only manages to do slightly better, not enough to defeat Goku. He sends Tao back down the tower on the Dark Nimbus to prevent him from gaining any strength from the tower climb. After that, Korin uses a trick to make Tao believe he has improved so he will leave. Korin knows that Tao is a wicked assassin, so he tricks Tao and gives him the useless Sacred Water. He easily ascends the tower and meets Korin. Tao's sword being broken in half by Goku's Power PoleĪfter Tao decides Goku was too powerful, he himself climbs Korin Tower to retrieve the Sacred Water that had made Goku so powerful. Tao resorts to bringing out his sword, which breaks in a clash with Goku's Power Pole. He then fights Goku, who had been specially trained by Korin after climbing his tower and proved to be far too strong for Tao. When Upa refuses to answer, Tao throws him at the tower, where Goku narrowly saves him, to Tao's surprise. When he arrives, Upa attacks him, but Tao dodges his attack and strangles him for where the Dragon Ball is located. After his uniform is finished (three days later), Tao kills the tailor using a Pressure Point Attack and returns to the land of Korin to retrieve the missing Dragon Ball. In filler, a sniper in the town tries to assassinate Tao but fails. During the three days, Tao intimidates the townspeople into obtaining free luxuries such as a hotel room. Since Tao's uniform was ruined by Goku's Kamehameha in the battle, he takes off to a town where he forces a tailor to make a new copy of his uniform for free. Tao with the tailor, who just asked for money for his services The last ball was in Goku's outfit, which saved him from being killed by the Dodon Ray. Tao ends up only retrieving three of the Dragon Balls which were located in the backpack Goku had, and realises this when he is calling Commander Red on his progress. Upa, Bora's son, tries to attack Tao with a rock, but Tao just blows it back to Upa. Goku proves to be more of a challenge, but Tao knocks him around a bit, dodges Goku's flurry of attacks easily, and then knocks him out with the Dodon Ray technique, thinking he killed Goku. This causes Goku to lose his temper and attack Tao. Tao murders Bora by launching him into the air and throwing Bora's spear at Bora, stabbing him. Tao meets Goku in the Sacred Land of Korin, but Bora, a man who had previously held off the Red Ribbon Army single handedly and who tried to defend Goku, challenges him. Tao easily dodges Blue's flurry of punches, proves himself to be immune to Blue's telekinesis ability, and kills him only using his tongue, with Commander Red and Staff Officer Black watching, to prove that his assistance is worth the high price.Īfter looking at his target's photo, Tao throws a pillar from the Red Ribbon Army's headquarters and rides it. In order to redeem himself, he must defeat Mercenary Tao. When, General Blue one of the Red Ribbon Army's strongest operatives, arrives at the Red Ribbon Army headquarters failing his mission, Commander Red gives him a deal. Twenty years after starting his career as a Mercenary, Tao was hired by the Red Ribbon Army to kill Goku, who had been defeating all of their operatives and taking away the Dragon Balls they acquired, messing with Commander Red's secret wish of getting taller. Tao was said to be a major influence to Tien Shinhan during his days training with the Crane School. Though it was never stated, Tao must have gained immortality in some sort of way causing him to live for over two hundred years. At the age of 279, Tao started his career as a mercenary for hire. They began to fight over the smallest things and eventually, a simple spilled bowl of rice was enough to break them apart. Even though he was younger, Tao was always one step ahead of his older brother and a rivalry then grew between them. Tao was born in Age 459 just two years before the King Piccolo Wars which his brother Shen served in.
