AppearanceEdit

Cacao's appearance is marked by cyborg components adorned over skin similar in appearance to magma. Being a cyborg, Cacao's Battle Armor is the only armor with weapons.

BiographyEdit

The Tree of MightEdit

Cacao was originally a Battle Cyborg built on planet Ikonda to fight in an interstellar war. After this, he became a galactic lone-wolf bounty hunter and volunteers to join Turles's group in order to strengthen his cyborg body, which is made from a special metal that makes him immune to ordinary attacks.^[1]

Cacao has a large array of weapons at his disposal, which helps him swiftly defeat Yamcha during an encounter with the Z Fighters on Earth. He is killed during Goku's Kaio-ken rampage against him and his comrades, when Goku gives Cacao a solid knee-kick to his chest.

Fusion RebornEdit

Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Cacao makes a cameo appearance in the 1995 film Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth.

Techniques and special abilitiesEdit

Flight – The ability to fly. It seems that Cacao uses more than simply ki to fly.
Rocket Propulsion – While chasing Yamcha, Cacao stops and ascends using some sort of rocket propulsion jetpacks on his arms and legs before ramming into the Z Fighter.
Combined Full Power Energy Wave – Daiz and Cacao start by charging an energy sphere in their hands and then fire it in the form of an energy wave that eventually results in a massive red explosion on the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.

Voice actorsEdit

Japanese Dub: Shinobu Satouchi
Ocean Group Dub: Alvin Sanders (edited), Don Brown (uncut)

TriviaEdit

Cacao's name is based on Cacao, a bean used to make a variety of products, mostly chocolate.
Like the rest of Turles' henchmen (other than Rasin and Lakasei), Cacao's name is only given in the movie's credits and character profiles.
The mannerism and effect used for Cacao's voice varies with each dub. In the original Japanese version of the The Tree of Might, he says da, the Russian word for 'yes'. In the uncut Ocean Group dub, he only grunts, while in the studio's edited dub, as well as Funimation's dub, he speaks in full-fledged sentences and has an electronic-garbled voice (though his mouth remains closed).
