Background

King Vegeta assigned Rix, a mid-level Saiyan warrior, to protect Tarble. He served alongside another guard, Tomato, who died while defending Tarble during an encounter with a powerful enemy. Rix survived and continued fulfilling his duty to Tarble. 1 21

After Tarble's recovery from severe injuries, Rix noticed a marked change in his prince: Tarble became committed to training and strength. Rix trained with him for about a year before their journey to Earth, raising his combat power from 2,500 to 15,000. 1 5 14

Appearance

Rix's normal appearance is not described in the available material. His Super Saiyan 3 transformation is explicitly detailed. 27

• Thick golden hair extending to his waist. 27
• Absent eyebrows and a pronounced brow ridge. 27
• Intermittent lightning around his body even with his aura suppressed. 27
• A fierce, unapproachable presence in Super Saiyan 3. 27

Personality

Rix is intensely loyal, formal, and duty-bound. He consistently addresses Tarble as “Your Highness,” follows his orders immediately, and regards protecting Tarble as his foremost responsibility. After learning that Vegeta had intended to help him grow stronger, he pledged to follow Tarble until the end of his life. 4 14 22

Though initially resentful after Vegeta suddenly injured him, Rix is capable of reassessing his judgment. Dende's explanation and the resulting power increase convinced him that Vegeta had not intended to kill him, leading Rix to regret his accusation and commit himself to further training. 19 20 22

He lacks Tarble's natural aptitude but is persistent and realistic about his limits. He struggled with ki techniques and controlling Super Saiyan power, yet continued training until he mastered Super Saiyan and later achieved Super Saiyan 3. 5 11 21 27

Journey to Earth

Rix accompanies Tarble to Earth in search of Vegeta while being pursued by Abo and Gato. He is alarmed by the pursuers' strength but resolves to fight after Tarble appeals to Saiyan pride. 3 4

Earth Training and Super Saiyan Breakthrough

Vegeta introduces Rix to ki manipulation and high-level Saiyan training. Rix initially struggles to learn aura sensing and suppression, then trains under increasing gravity until reaching 500,000 combat power. 5 11 13 15

After Tarble becomes a Super Saiyan, Vegeta critically injures Rix so that his Saiyan recovery will increase his strength. Dende heals him, raising his combat power to 5 million; Rix subsequently achieves and masters Super Saiyan. 19 20 21

During the later Time Chamber session with Tarble, Son Goku, and Vegeta, Rix reaches 668.27 billion base combat power and learns King Kai's Fist. 42

He Yi and the Sealed Box

Rix assists Tarble and Vegeta in concealing their true strength from He Yi. He performs a convincing failed attempt to open the silver box, appearing exhausted and ashamed despite deliberately maintaining the charade. 44 46

Notable Quotes

Trivia
