Coalto

Coalto is a fictional character from the *Dragon Ball* multimedia franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. Introduced in the *Dragon Ball GT* anime series, Coalto is a member of the Red Ribbon Army, an organization that sought to conquer the world using advanced technology. Unlike other Red Ribbon members, Coalto is depicted as a more sympathetic figure, driven by a desire to protect his home planet, Cooler’s homeworld, from destruction.

Coalto first appears in the *Dragon Ball GT* episode "The Red Ribbon Army’s Final Attack," where he leads a group of Red Ribbon soldiers in an assault on Earth. His design is based on the character Cooler, a major antagonist from the original *Dragon Ball* series, but with distinct features such as a different hairstyle and armor. Coalto wields a powerful energy-based weapon called the "Coalto Cannon," which he uses in combat.

The character’s name is a play on "Cooler," combining elements of his origin and his role as a more complex figure within the franchise. Coalto’s appearance in *Dragon Ball GT* is relatively brief, but he serves as a memorable addition to the Red Ribbon Army’s roster. His inclusion reflects the series’ tendency to introduce new characters while paying homage to established lore.

Coalto’s design and backstory are typical of *Dragon Ball GT*, which often featured original characters and exaggerated elements compared to the original manga. Despite his limited screen time, he remains a notable part of the franchise’s expanded universe, appealing to fans of the series’ blend of action, humor, and fantasy.
