"Why did you decide to start walking rather than continue to crawl? And then why did you venture into space rather than continue to walk? Progress, my little friend. Natural evolution. Just as the inferior beings of this planet were replaced by our robot mutants, so too does forward progress dictate that this must happen throughout the galaxy. Dr. Myuu is the grand conductor of this orchestration, and there is nothing you can do to stop him! The strong must flourish and the weak must perish!"
— General Rilldo to Goku in "A General Uprising"

Rilldo about to speak to an audience of Machine Mutants

The Sigma Force eventually manage to capture Goku and Trunks and bring them back to Rilldo.

While their power levels are being scanned, the Machine Mutants become concerned with Goku's power, and show this information to General Rilldo, who becomes surprised and concerned himself. The Sigma Force are eventually defeated by Goku, even after turning into the Super Mega Cannon Sigma, leaving the hot-headed Rilldo to take care of the two by himself.

Sensing his approach, Trunks becomes stunned by the almost impossible Ki that he can feel. Goku meanwhile is amazed too saying that Rilldo is even more powerful than Buu. Pan attacks Rilldo and to everyone's surprise knocks him down, when he fires back using his Metal Breath, Trunks intercepts taking the attack in place of Pan and is turned into metal and transported away.

Goku vs General Rildo

Rilldo's fight with Super Saiyan Goku on Planet M-2

When attacking Goku, Rilldo turns the surroundings into metal when Goku dodges all of Rilldo's Metal Breath beams. He instead decides to fight Goku the old fashioned way and dukes it out over the skies of M-2 however it isn't long before Goku gains the advantage in the battle. After Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, Rilldo combines with the four members of the Sigma Force and powers up to his Hyper Meta Rilldo form. As Goku once again begins to gain the upper hand, Rilldo transforms again to allow him to fuse with any metal on the planet. Eventually, Rilldo succeeds in turning both Goku and Pan into metal.

Later, while the trio try to leave the planet M-2, Rilldo stops them by grabbing hold of the Grand Tour Spaceship. Trunks tries to reason with him, saying he was nothing but a pawn in Dr. Myuu's games, just an inferior being that would be shut down once his plans with the other creation Baby were complete. Rilldo refuses to listen, but the three fire a combined Kamehameha attack that easily kills the un-transformed Rilldo.

It is later revealed that Rilldo was in fact under the control of Baby during that time, who promptly leaves the dead vessel.

Other Dragon Ball Stories[]

Dragon Ball Legends[]

Hyper Meta Rilldo is among the fighters participating in the Tournament of Time created by the Mastermind Zahha. Unlike the other members of the Mastermind's group, Hyper Meta Rilldo is shown to be incredibly loyal to Zahha even to the point he is willing to sacrifice his own life to take down Shallot. Unfortunately for him, Goku Black interferes ironically saving Hyper Meta Rilldo from destroying himself.

However Hyper Meta Rilldo is given a second chance by Zahha and he confronts Shallot and his newfound ally Broly whom he befriended after rescuing Cheelai from Basil, Lavender, and their Combatant underling.

Power[]

Anime

Though General Rilldo uses his first form to hide his true power; Goku first notes that Rilldo is superior to the other Machine Mutants he has encountered, and then goes on to say that Rilldo's ki is even greater than Buu's. Rilldo also refers to himself as the mightiest of the Machine Mutants.

Rilldo's true abilities lie in his transformations: he can transform twice, each time slowly showing off his true power. In his Hyper Meta form he has absorbed the power of the Sigma Force, and was able to hold his own against Super Saiyan Goku (though never actually inflicted damage on him). In his Meta form, he is a lot stronger and his full power is shown to allow him to fight on par with Super Saiyan kid Goku - even forcing him into Super Saiyan 2 at one point, he also has absolute control over the whole machine planet of M-2, making him one with the planet itself.

Statements by guidebooks and authors

Rilldo is not as strong as Luud.[4]

When first encountering Hyper-Meta Rilldo, Shallot defeats him using Super Saiyan 2. When Rilldo uses dark ki to empower himself, Shallot responds by turning Super Saiyan God and overwhelms him.

Hyper Meta Rilldo

Rilldo transforms into Hyper Meta Rilldo (ハイパーメガリルド Haipā Mega Rirudo, lit. "Hyper Mega Rilldo")[6] after Goku had beaten and destroyed the Sigma Force for the second time; the General pulls their pieces into himself from the ground and takes on a suit of armor reminiscent of Commander Nezi. Once in this form, his power grows enough for the transformed General to last a while against Super Saiyan Goku, and Hyper Mega Rilldo gains an attack he calls the Hyper Metal-Rilldo Punch, but Goku eventually defeats Rilldo and forces the latter to transform once again.

In Dragon Ball Legends, General Rilldo is playable only in his Hyper Meta Rilldo form.

Meta-Rilldo

When it was apparent that Rilldo was incapable of defeating Goku as he was, he transforms once again and assumes his Meta-Rilldo ( メタルリルド Metaru Rirudo, lit. "Metal Rilldo") form. Now a being of pure liquid metal, Rilldo proves to be a fearsome opponent.

While in this form, Rilldo's footsteps sound identical to that of Broly's, Janemba's, Nuova Shenron's, Eis Shenron's, Syn Shenron's, and Cell's and his voice also gains a metallic tone similar to Meta-Cooler's.

M2 Rilldo

Rilldo fused with M-2

Being one with all metal and possessing the power to reshape and liquefy any metal around him, Rilldo has absolute control over the whole Machine Mutant planet of M-2, effectively making him one with the planet itself. This ability is called "Planet of Metal".[7] In the end, Rilldo proves to be too much, and he manages to trap a distracted Goku and Pan by encasing them in metal and sending them to Dr. Myuu.

  • Ray Gun – Hyper-Meta Rilldo is able to fires a pink blast from a cannon in his arm.

Trivia[]

  • During his battle with Goku, in the dub he remarked that if Goku were to become a Machine Mutant, he would most likely turn out like him.
  • Rilldo's shiny metal appearance in his Meta form looks similar to Meta-Coolers (both were voiced by Andrew Chandler in the Funimation dub as well). Both villains have several similarities as they both can regenerate, have Metal bodies, are effectively one with a machine planet (Big Gete Star and M-2), and manage to overwhelm and capture Goku briefly, only to be killed later on with an energy attack.
  • Early in the Baby Saga, Rilldo says that the only way he can be killed is by destroying all the metal on the planet since he can use it to recreate himself. However, he is killed later by a single blast by Trunks, Pan, and Goku when he is under the control of Baby.
  • General Rilldo closely resembles Bon Para.
  • Rilldo's metal, liquifying body in his second form is somewhat similar to the T-1000 from the Terminator series.
  • Rilldo's name is an anagram of the Japanese pronunciation for "drill" (ドリル).
