MERCENARY TAO
MT
The ruthless, cold-blooded assassin hired by Commander Red who redefines early Dragon Ball's power ceiling. Tao famously kills General Blue using only his tongue, breaks a stone pillar off a building, and rides it through the air across continents to his target. He murders Bora in cold blood and delivers Goku's very first crushing defeat with his lethal Dodon Ray.

Lethal Tongue Strike
Open →Shitatsuki · Precision Point Assassination · Mercenary Tao
A chilling demonstration of raw martial lethality. Mercenary Tao concentrates his precise physical output into a single thrust using only his tongue, driving it straight through a high-ranking target's temple for an instant execution.
Dodon Ray
Open →Dodonpa · Focal Piercing Beam · Mercenary Tao, Chiaotzu, Tien Shinhan
The signature energy art of the Crane School. Unlike the wide blast trajectory of the Kamehameha, the Dodon Ray condenses ki into a thin, searing needle fired directly from the index finger, maximizing penetration and burning power.
Pillar Flight Logistics
Open →Chou Kousoku Tobitsukami · Kinetic Projectile Transit · Mercenary Tao
Mercenary Tao's legendary method of long-distance transport. Tao snaps a solid stone pillar off a structure, flings it through the sky at thousands of miles per hour, and leaps onto the flying column to ride it straight across continents to his target coordinates.
