Who is Shallot in Dragon Ball Legends? Unpacking the Ancient Saiyan Enigma
Curious about an unfamiliar character in Dragon Ball? Enter Shallot (シャロット, Sharotto), the amnesiac Saiyan. He fights in Dragon Ball Legends, a mobile game. He’s more than an ordinary Saiyan. Shallot has a deep backstory, unusual for mobile game heroes. So, who is this spiky-haired warrior? Let’s explore.
Shallot’s Roots: An Ancient Saiyan from Planet Sadala
Forget what you think about Saiyan origins. Shallot hails from Planet Sadala, not Planet Vegeta. That’s the original home of the Saiyan race. It’s ancient history. Think of him as Saiyan royalty, if that concept existed. Dragon Ball Legends makes Shallot an ancient Saiyan, giving him a legacy older than Goku’s Super Saiyan knowledge.
Transformations and Signature Moves: More Than Just a Wild Cannon
Now, let’s discuss transformations and special moves. What’s a Dragon Ball character without the ability to power up? Shallot collects Super Saiyan forms. Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue – he’s got them all. It’s like a Saiyan form collection.
Have you heard of the Wild Kamehameha? Probably not, unless you play Dragon Ball Legends. This is Shallot’s signature move. It combines Wild Cannon with Kamehameha, creating a powerful blast. Super Saiyan 2 Shallot and Gohan can use it too, making it a family affair.
Then, there’s fusion. Shallot’s twin brother is Giblet. When they fuse, they become Shallet. It’s not a bread; it’s their fused form, producing Super Saiyan God immediately. The two halves mastered Super Saiyan God first. Ultra Instinct still eludes Shallot for now. But he’s got many more story arcs ahead of him.
Family Ties (and Lack Thereof): Shallot’s Relationships
Now for relationships. Family drama exists. Shallot has a twin brother, Giblet. Their relationship includes fusion and sibling rivalry. They both descend from the original Super Saiyan God, which is cool, but they often fight instead of getting along.
No girlfriend for Shallot. He is canonically single in Dragon Ball Legends. He focuses on his past and battles, with no time for romance. However, there’s a fun behind-the-scenes connection: Shallot’s and Priestess’s voice actors are dating. No in-game romance exists, but it’s cute.
Power Levels and Comparisons: Where Does Shallot Stack Up?
Power levels matter in Dragon Ball. Where does Shallot fit in? Babidi noted that Giblet surpasses Super Saiyan 2 Shallot in power. Yet, Super Saiyan 3 Shallot is stronger than Giblet. Power tends to escalate in Dragon Ball.
Initially, Shallot is strong but not unbeatable. He struggles against Super Saiyan Full Power Goku and only holds his own against Dabura minimally. His Super Saiyan form matches Android 16, but he can’t compete with Semi-Perfect Cell. Over time, he powers up, grows stronger, and eventually faces elite foes.
Age is Just a Number (Especially When You’re Thousands of Years Old)
How old is Shallot? Beerus and Whis reveal he is an ancient Saiyan, thousands of years old. This is mind-blowing! His origins explain his age. Shallot may be older than odd things like sliced bread or pyramids.
Morality: Is Shallot a Good Guy?
Is Shallot a hero or villain? The game suggests he is good. He fights for the universe and teams up with Goku and friends. We can call him “Implied Good.” He might seem rough around the edges and sometimes confused due to amnesia. But his heart appears to be in the right place, at least for now.
