Background / History
Briefs meets Sun Yu and Lana in East City, treats them to a hotel meal, and invites them to his home. There, Sun Yu recognizes him as Bulma’s father and asks him to build a training room capable of reaching 100 times Earth’s gravity. Briefs agrees, and later builds a Dragon Radar at Sun Yu’s request 9 10.
After inadvertently mentioning the Dragon Balls and the two Saiyans while drunk, Briefs learns that the Red Ribbon Army has kidnapped Bulma to obtain Sun Yu’s Dragon Balls. He sends Capsule Corp planes to find Sun Yu and asks him for help. Sun Yu rescues Bulma, and Briefs thanks him when they reunite 11 17 20.
Briefs continues developing gravity-training facilities for Sun Yu and Lana, including a separate room for Sun Yu and, later, a 100-times-gravity room. After their battle with Ace damages the East City Grand Department Store, Briefs announces that Capsule Corp will buy the site for a technology park 27 28 36.
