Ran Fuan

Dragon Ball

Biographie

A competitor in the 21st Martial Arts Tournment who uses the fact that she's a "defenseless" woman as a weapon. For example, she shrieks when someone is about to hit her, causing them to pause, and in that time, she'll deliver a crushing punch or kick. If that technique fails, then she strips and tries to shock or embarrass her opponent. Namu is only able to defeat her by closing his eyes and attacking her without, "looking upon her womanly flesh." In the manga, her picture is briefly seen on one of the image rosters as one of the many targets of Tambourine's mission to kill the martial artists in the King Piccolo Saga, though it is unknown if Ran Fuan was slain; given that she had not appeared in the manga or the anime after the Budoukai, it is safe to say that Tambourine was stopped before he could kill her. In the U.S. dub, the stripping was excluded. Instead, the scene of one of Namu's failed attacks is shown followed by her twitching foot to show she was knocked out. This is strangely not edited in recaps, which clearly show her in her underwear. The words Ran & Fuan are Japanese for "Lingerie & Foundation garments".
