Rigor



Rigor (リゴル, Rigoru) is a fictional original character in the online doujin Dragon Ball New Age. He is the half-brother of Vegeta, and makes his debut in the comic‘s first story-arc as the series’ first major villain during the Rigor Saga. He is the alternate timeline counterpart of Tarble, Vegeta's brother from the main timeline.

Rigor's name is a portmanteau/ pun of Rio and Goronong, after the Rio Grande and Goronong peppers.

Rigor's name and background are also influenced by the Dorrigo Pepper, a rainforest pepper shrub in Australia. The Dorrigo pepper berries are dark blue/indigo, much like the color Rigor's outfit. It also grows in the mountainous regions of Australia, much like the environments of Planet Bebit.
