"Blonde hair!? Blue eyes!? Super strength!? I should be recruiting them..." |
"The Dictator" (独裁者 Dokusaisha) is a minor villain in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn. He is a caricature of the real-life Austrian-born politician Adolf Hitler. Instead of Nazi swastikas on the flags and uniforms of his army, the insignias are replaced with X's.
Biography
Dragon Ball Z
Fusion Reborn
Main article: Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn
The Dictator and his army were resurrected from Hell along with villains the Dragon Team previously defeated. Once they arrive on Earth, he and his undead army are fought by Goten and Trunks. In the Funimation dub, after they become Super Saiyan, the Dictator says that he should have been recruiting them because they have blonde hair, blue eyes, and super strength. He and his army are defeated when Goten and Trunks fuse into Gotenks, who uses the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack against them. After his defeat, the Dictator is sent back to Hell.

While looking at some zombies and other revived creatures, present Trunks comments about a person who catches his eye, he has seen him in a picture book of some kind, and that both he and Goten studied about him. Also, that he was in one of Gohan's textbooks, which comically, according to Trunks and Goten, means that he is a monster as well.
Power
The Dictator, aside from his use of a tank, was never seen fighting. It is implied that, although formidable to most humans thanks to his undead status, he was no match for the likes of Goten and Trunks, as they proceeded to humiliate him and even cause his tank to crash even before they went Super Saiyan, and later fused to become Gotenks and finished him and his army off effortlessly via the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.

It is likely that he believes them to be Aryan, unaware that they are Super Saiyans. Owing to this, he also states "I should be recruiting them..."
- In the original Japanese dub, he instead states that they are little punks that dyed their hair and most likely does not consider them to be Aryan.
- He is not seen in the German, Hebrew, and French versions of Fusion Reborn.
