"Commander, wait! There's no time for that! The Saiyans know we're even here. We have to move quickly!" |
Tagoma (タゴマ; Tagoma) is one of the elite soldiers working under Sorbet on behalf of Frieza in the Third Stellar Region army of the Frieza Force. His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "egg."
Overview
Appearance
Tagoma is a tall purple-grey humanoid alien. He wears a new type of Battle Armor colored black, green, and red. He also has black armbands around his wrists and has a visor-like scouter that covers both his eyes.
Personality
Tagoma is seen as a loyal member of Frieza's army. He is patient, analyzes the situation at hand, and has a higher power level than most of his subordinates. Although loyal to Frieza's army, he is shown being hesitant about Frieza, as he states to Sorbet that he doesn't understand why they need to revive Frieza in order to rebuild the empire. He is also a realist, as he tries to convince Frieza that the Saiyans are too powerful, and that he should just focus on rebuilding his empire, which causes his death in the film, and torture in the anime.
After training with Frieza, Tagoma starts to take on some of the traits of the tyrant, he becomes sadistic and less merciful. His normal facial expression changes from a dull serious look, to a dark evil look - laughing maliciously when about to face the Z Fighters. His uncaring nature is shown when Tagoma kills Shisami in a attempt to kill Gohan, and also when he intimidates Sorbet when the latter shouts at him - where's he had previously held Sorbet in high regard.
Biography
Pre-Dragon Ball
Tagoma recalled his first encounter with Frieza when he spoke to Dodoria and Captain Ginyu on an unknown planet.
Dragon Ball Z
Resurrection ‘F’
Main article: Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ Tagoma and his accomplice Sorbet are both elite soldiers in the Frieza Force, working under Frieza. Years after Frieza's death, the two come to Earth, collect the Dragon Balls and revive their master. He seems to be Sorbet's favorite henchman, as he cares about him and prefers him over the jealous Shisami, who seems to be on a hidden-competition with him.

Tagoma had served in the Third Stellar Region under his superior officer, Sorbet, for years. He's one of Sorbet's finest fighters, and is described by his superior to be a fighter on par with the late Zarbon and Dodoria. When the Frieza Force forces have been outmatched in putting down an uprising in Planet Frieza 448, Sorbet, who is now standing-in-leader of the Frieza Force, has decided that there is no escape. Sorbet decides to revive Frieza so he'll reorganize the empire, and calls Tagoma to join him on a two-person spaceship to Earth. During the operation to revive Frieza, Tagoma shares his concerns about it with Sorbet, emphasizing that Frieza was an evil dictator, who they may just be better off without, Sorbet agrees but says that with the Army's current achievements and weakened power they have no other choice.[1]

The final Dragon Ball to be retrieved is in the ocean and Tagoma was sent down to retrieve it. Tagoma, Sorbet, and Pilaf Gang go to the desert to summon Shenron to revive Frieza. After Shenron states that he couldn't revive Frieza due to him being cut into pieces, Tagoma suggests that they use the recovery chambers they have built before. On Sorbet's spaceship, Frieza is quickly revived and made whole. Tagoma was briefly reintroduced to Frieza who he forgot who his soldiers were. Frieza starts to describes his plan to avenge his fall at the Saiyans. Tagoma says that Frieza should just ignore the Super Saiyans and focus on the universe. As a result of angering the tyrant, he is blasted by Frieza into outer space, calling Sorbet to help him while Sorbet is torn apart by his demise and screams his name.[2]

After Frieza has been regenerated, Tagoma suggests that Frieza should not go after the Saiyans, to which Frieza reacted by torturing him, firing several Death Beams through his limbs and leaving him sprawled out on the ground in pain. Frieza decides to train for four months in order to become strong enough to defeat Goku.
Power
- Anime
Tagoma is said by Sorbet to be on the level of Zarbon and Dodoria at their peaks. After training with Frieza for four months, Tagoma becomes considerably stronger. This power-up results in him becoming far stronger than the entire Ginyu Force as noted by Sorbet, easily placing him as the strongest soldier in Frieza's army. He was powerful enough to kill Shisami and critically injure Gohan, both in a single shot, however they were both off guard about Tagoma's attack which may enhanced the result of Tagoma's shot. He then proceeds to face off against and decimate Gohan, Piccolo, Master Roshi, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan until his body is stolen by Captain Ginyu.
- Movie
Tagoma possesses a power level comparable to that of Zarbon and Dodoria in their prime.[2] Tagoma is easily defeated in a single blast from Frieza in his first form (before his training), whose power level at the time is 530,000.

- Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy wave. Tagoma uses a ki blast to kill Shisami and an attempt to kill Gohan, but critically injures him.

Trivia
- While in the manga his scouter doesn't get broken by the newly revived Frieza's power level, in the movie and anime it does happen, and Tagoma spends the last moments of his life scouter-less.
- In an interview, the author Akira Toriyama says that there are also dual-eye types of Scouters. Tagoma is the first character to display the new version of it.[3]
- In the original storyboard for Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Tagoma was to survive being blown out of the ship by Frieza thanks to being rescued, this was removed from the film,[4] however a similar scenario is placed in the anime adaption, as Tagoma survives Frieza attacking him.
