Dragon Ball Jinzoningen #8 was a machine used by the Red Ribbon Army. Designed by the infamous scientist, Doctor Gero, #8 was built by Doctor Frappe out of dead bodies. #8 was stationed at Muscle Tower in the frozen north under General White's command. When Son Goku infiltrated the tower, it was the ninja, Murasaki, who decided to release #8. However, the Frankenstein-esque monster proved to be a gentle giant, and had no intention of hurting Goku. Murasaki threatened to detonate the explosive inside #8 if he did not obey orders, but Son Goku quickly stopped him, destroying the remote control keeping #8 at bay. Goku quickly became friends with the kind Jinzoningen, lovingly nicknaming him Ha-chan. Ha-chan helped Goku traverse the inside of Muscle Tower, making their way through the maze all the way up to General White's chamber. However, White dropped them through a trap door into the pit of a the terrifying monster, Buyon. But, Son Goku cleverly defeated the monster and he and Ha-chan made their way back to the summit where General White waited. And so, Goku and Ha-chan defeated White, and dispersed the Red Ribbon Army's presence from the northern snow lands. As a symbol of this, Ha-chan smashed away the base of Muscle Tower, causing it to crash into the snow. |

After this, there was still the matter of the bomb locked away within Ha-chan's chest. Goku and the gentle android sought out Doctor Frappe, who lived in a nearby village. As it turns out, the good doctor was actually forced into aiding the Red Ribbon Army, and had no intent of hurting anybody. So the scientist glady removed the bomb, allowing Ha-chan to live in peace in the snowy village.
