"Why do we need to fight for this dump anyway? Is Frieza out of his little tiny mind or something?"
Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku


Shugesh, known as Panbukin (パンブーキン Panbūkin) in the original Japanese version, is a Saiyan warrior within the Saiyan Army and one of the members of Bardock's Planet Elite Force.

Appearance

Shugesh is a bulky Saiyan, coming off more fat than muscular. Nevertheless, underneath his bulk, Shugesh remains one of the most fit members of Bardock's team. He has black hair in a pudding bowl style, beady black eyes, and a thin, pencil mustache. He wears the "Bardock's Planet Elite Force model" of Saiyan armor, with the straps and abdomen guards being colored teal, with boots of a similar color scheme, and black pants. Underneath his armor, he wears a tattered, olive green shirt.

Personality

Like the other members of his team, Shugesh has a high degree of camaraderie with his teammates. He is also a ruthless and skilled fighter. He has a sense of honor too.

Voice Actors

Battles

Pre-Dragon Ball
Films
  • Shugesh (Great Ape), Bardock (Great Ape), Tora (Great Ape), Fasha (Great Ape), and Borgos (Great Ape) vs. Kanassan Commander, Demetrious, Toolo, and Kanassan warriors
  • Shugesh, Bardock, and Tora vs. Toolo
  • Shugesh, Tora, Fasha, and Borgos vs. Dodoria and his elites

Trivia

  • The physical change may also be a pun of his name. Like Bardock and Toma, Panbukin's original name given to him by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru (パンプキン, Panpukin) was not completely changed in the final draft by Akira Toriyama.[1]
  • In Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru's original character design of Bardock's Team, Shugesh/Panbukin was drawn with a more Nappa-like structure. For example, he was much taller and had an equal muscle mass. He was later changed into the "pumpkin" resembling figure he is now, for reasons that Akira Toriyama said that he wanted Saiyans to have more "distinguishing features" (Akira Toriyama drew the final draft of Bardock's team).[1]
  • He is not the first Saiyan character to be called "Panbukin", this name was also used for Scarface in the Japanese dub.
    • This also technically makes him one of seven characters to reuse a pun, the others being Brocco ("Shorty" in the Funimation dub) and Broly ("Broccoli"); and Vegeta, King Vegeta, and Tarble ("Vegetable").
  • His Japanese name is a pun on "pumpkin," well fitting his overweight physique.
