"Let me show you why I, Dr. Rota, am called Doctor!" |
Dr. Rota (Dr.ロタ Dokutā Rota) is a warrior from Universe 6 and a member of Team Universe 6.
Appearance
Dr. Rota has red skin, with a large snout and tusks protruding out of his face, similar to a warthog. He has a small pair of glasses, and a black shark fin on his head. He wears a black robe, fastened at the waist with a white belt.
Personality
Rota seems quite confident in his ability as a fighter, as he challenges Piccolo and Gohan while acknowledging that they are great fighters. This also shows that he can be complementary to his opponents. Rota is very proud of his unique ability, boasting about it before trying to fight his opponents. He seems to like to hear himself talk, given that he has a habit of boasting about his ability before actually trying to fight. This, however, proves to be a weakness for him, as it allows fighters to attack him while he is still boasting about his special ability. In spite of his title as a doctor, he can be rather foolish at times, making his speech to Gohan and Piccolo while standing atop a mountain, making him an easy target for other fighters, and later, attacking Prum while he is fighting Goku and Vegeta and making the same speech, leaving him open for them to attack him.
