Petoksila

Petoksila is a fictional character from the *Dragon Ball* franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. Introduced in the *Dragon Ball GT* anime series, which serves as a continuation of the original *Dragon Ball* and *Dragon Ball Z* sagas, Petoksila is a member of the Red Ribbon Army, a group of villains that first appeared in the early *Dragon Ball* series.

Petoksila is depicted as a tall, muscular man with a bald head and a distinctive red uniform, reflecting the Red Ribbon Army’s branding. Unlike many other Red Ribbon members, he is portrayed as a more competent and serious antagonist. His role in *Dragon Ball GT* is primarily to serve as a recurring foe, appearing in several episodes alongside other Red Ribbon soldiers. He is often seen leading assaults on Earth, particularly targeting Goku and his allies.

The character’s name is derived from the Japanese phrase "petto" (胸, meaning "chest") and "kisa" (きさ, a playful or nonsensical suffix), though it is sometimes humorously interpreted as a pun in the series. Petoksila’s design and personality align with the Red Ribbon Army’s militaristic and somewhat comedic tone, blending action with lighthearted elements that are characteristic of *Dragon Ball GT*.

While Petoksila does not play a major role in the story’s plot, his appearances contribute to the series’ episodic structure, often serving as a test of Goku’s training and adaptability. His inclusion in *Dragon Ball GT* helps maintain continuity with the original series while introducing new challenges for the protagonist. Fans of the franchise recognize him as one of the more memorable Red Ribbon members due to his recurring presence and distinctive appearance.
