The Red Ribbon Army is an army in the dragonball series, dedicated to finding the
dragonballs and taking over the world. Initially, it is assumed that the
red ribbon army's commander, commander red, was going to use the dragonballs to take over the world, however he has his own selfish ambitions and wants to be tall as a mountain, to overcome his short size. His subordinate Colonel Black, after hearing this, turns on
the commander and shoots him in the head.
Dr. Gero worked behind the scenes after the army's defeat, and created
Android 17, Android 18, and Cell, for the purpose of taking revenge.
The Red Ribbon Army is annihilated by Goku while searching for the dragonballs to revive
Upa's father, Bora.
