Son Goku and His Friends Return!! I guess I may have missed it. Then again, I moreso read Dragon Ball Z then watched it, so she may have popped up as filler at one point that wouldn't normally be in the manga. They encounter Launch, who was a wanted criminal in her blonde form.
She frequently robbed banks at gunpoint and frequently got into heated firefights with local law enforcement. However, whenever she sneezed, Launch would transform into a meek, purple-haired woman leading Goku and Krillin to take her to Roshi's island leading to the start of her joining the main cast. The group quickly discovered that Launch's abrupt transformations were linked to her frequent, unpredictable sneezes, with the blonde Launch reemerging and attacking them. Eventually, the blonde Launch grew to no longer attack Roshi and the others on sight, apart from the occasional comically violent outburst as the series progressed.
Launch would join Roshi and the others to assist Goku in his continuing fight against the Red Ribbon Army, leading a raid on their headquarters only to discover Goku had already defeated the entire para-military organization. After the couple leaves, Gohan apologizes for butting in though Launch says she's over it.
She reveals it is a map leading to a man she is looking for obviously it is Tien she is referring to though Gohan is unaware of this. Determined to make him fall in love with her this time, she runs off without mentioning it is Tien she is looking for, thus Gohan is unable to give her the bad news that Tien recently died fighting the Saiyans.
Gohan decides to return to Kame House to inform Master Roshi of what happened. Master Roshi then reveals she has already returned to Gohan's confusion. Gohan mentions the Launch he encountered before having Blonde Hair and Launch explains it was her other self.
Good Launch says people tell her that her personality changes whenever she sneezes and that her hair also turns blonde. Gohan is shocked and Launch suggests it is the result of some condition she has which Gohan thinks to himself is the best way to describe it. Master Roshi remembers that is what he forgot to mention earlier and apologies for the confusion which Gohan nervously laughs off. Launch says she hopes her other self didn't cause him too much trouble as she can be a bit harsh sometimes, though Gohan says she didn't and says he's surprised to see her there as she said something about looking for someone.
Launch explains she was near West City when she came too apparently a result of Bad Launch sneezing and had no clue what was going on and so she decided to return to Kame House. Good Launch decides to cook something for Gohan to thank him for dealing with Bad Launch as she's been wanting to try out a few recipes for a while now.
Master Roshi thinks that's a great idea and they can all eat together. This leads to Gohan receiving Launch's Soul Emblem. Gohan enjoys Launch's meal. Good Launch decides to remain at Kame House and that it would be nice living there again as long as she doesn't sneeze. At the start of " Evil Emperor Frieza Episode: 1 " that follows the Intermission, Good Launch reverts back to Bad Launch who ends up learning about Tien's demise as a result of his battle with the Saiyans.
Gohan can find her near Gizard Wasteland north of the area with the Fishing Spot where he began his wildness training. There she can be found mourning Tien's death. If spoken to, she laments it was a waste of all the time she has been looking for him, that Tien just went and died on her, She tells she knows he and the others are working to bring Tien and everyone that died back to life. She tells his she's counting on them and that she feels better after doing so and gives him three High-Quality Herb as thanks.
She thanks Gohan but tells him not to go dying on her like Tien. During the game's Cell Saga, Launch can be found standing next to her Hovercar on the side of the road near cave path leading into the small village in the Continent Central Area.
If spoken to, she reveals she's looking for shortcuts to cut down her time in the Hovercar Races a racing mini game so she can win the best prizes.
It should be noted that Launch's name often appears on the record times for the races usually in the number one slot unless one of the Z Warriors has beaten her score. Launch has two character entries in the Z-Encyclopedia one for each personality identified by their respective hair color.
Launch is very strong in her blonde haired form compared to the average human male , being able to defeat characters such as Red Ribbon Army soldiers or Vodka's bodyguards by herself. The movie pamphlet for Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might states that, while in her normal blue haired personality, Launch has a power level of When Launch is in her bad side, she is good at hand-to-hand combat.
She once defeated a group of bounty hunters all by herself in a bar. She also fought a bear person when she and Krillin were grocery shopping, saying "Don't talk with food in your mouth! Come here! She then threw Krillin a great distance into the sky. She later fought and defeated members of Captain Dark's troops when they attacked Roshi at Kame House.
Launch has good skills of weaponry when she is in her bad side. She often shoots people such as Goku, Master Roshi, and Krillin. Launch's arsenal is carried via capsules ; this was revealed in the Tien Shinhan Saga , opening a capsule to use a pistol and a machine pistol to clear away a crowd so that Bulma and the others could get a better seat for the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament.
It is highly conceivable then, that Launch could have an entire arsenal of weaponry at her disposal, all within the size-reducing capsules. She once cooked a pufferfish for Roshi and Krillin, and made them ill indicating she isn't skilled enough to remove the toxic parts of the pufferfish without contaminating the meat.
The meal is delicious according to the text though it has no effect on Gohan's stats implying that while she can make a tasty meal, it apparently has no nutritional value and indicates her cooking skills are inferior to Chi-Chi's as her's are both tasty and nutritious. In this form Launch possess blue hair and is known as " Good Launch ". In this form Launch possess blonde hair and is known as " Bad Launch ".
In addition to that, she also sells capsules in the Skill Shop, switching between her good and evil side randomly. In Dragon Ball: Origins 2 , it is revealed in the bonus level that a Quetzalcoatlus pterosaur attacked Launch in her bad form and took the Pirate Cave's diamond she stole from Bulma to bring it to his nest inside the pyramid near the Sacred Land of Korin.
After a tailor told him about the "fabulous treasure" inside the pyramid, Krillin defeats the pterosaur and Launch steals the diamond once again. Unfortunately, she gets lost. Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu investigate the area and find and save her.
Though she does not appear in Dragon Ball Xenoverse , her traditional outfit does appear as a clothing option that can be worn by a Female Future Warrior Saiyan , Earthling , or Majin race. If the Launch Costume is worn while talking Tien to when he is Future Warrior's current Master, he will notice them wearing it and will mention that the costume agitates him but tells the Warrior they are free to wear whatever they like.
Her outfit also returns in the sequel Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Launch's antagonistic personality makes her debut as a playable character for the first time in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle. She also appears as a random enemy during certain main story quests. Like Emperor Pilaf , she is searching for Incredible Gems and will fight the player's team to keep them dropping 15 Incredible Gems if she is defeated. Her card can be unlocked randomly through World Tournament Summons.
Additionally her Special Quirk Skill Arts will cause her to sneeze and revert to her good persona who will apologize and will switch out if she has any teammates regardless of her substitution gauge.
She also has two different victory cutscenes. Her usual win screen features her sneezing and reverting to Good Launch who wonders what she has been doing.
