Summary[]
Rigor (リゴル, Rigor) is the first main antagonist of 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, like most Saiyans, is a pun of a type of vegetable, in this case, the 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.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Final Revenge Cannon: Rigor's most powerful beam attack, charged in a manner similar to the Kamehameha yet shot from only one hand. This technique was apparently taught to Rigor by his mother, as it was her favorite technique. Rigor only uses this technique in his Super Saiyan 5 form, and boasts that the sheer force of this attack is great enough to obliterate a galaxy if not controlled properly.
- Power Manipulation: In response to the growth of his massive strength, Rigor has learned how to regulate how much of his maximum power he releases, ranging from 0% to 100%. With each increase comes a burst of energy and his muscles thicken and enlarge themselves. Rigor can also apply his power manipulation to his Super Saiyan 5 form.
