Dragon Ball

King Piccolo Saga

Though he is a politically important person in the Dragon Ball universe, he is of little significance to the storyline until the King Piccolo Saga, when King Piccolo goes to King Castle in Central City and temporarily usurps his throne.

Furry1(Ep114)

Just before King Piccolo began his new rampage, King Furry was waiting for a celebration for himself where several people from all over Dragon World would give him gifts for his great services. Unfortunately, he is confronted by King Piccolo and Piano, who take over Furry's kingship when Piccolo displays his power. After King Piccolo's defeat, Furry attempts to award Goku a Blue Star Medal for his heroic battle, but Goku leaves for The Lookout before he can do so.

Piccolo Jr. Saga

After Piccolo reveals his true identity to the World Martial Arts Tournament viewers, King Furry receives the report about that King Piccolo's son threatens to conquer the world and he worries about that.

Dragon Ball Z

Cell Saga

KingFurry

King Furry first appears on TV announcing royal military is preparing to attack Cell and then again shortly afterwards to announce that they had failed. Later, while watching the broadcast of the Cell Games, he partially recognizes Goku as the same boy who once defeated King Piccolo, only doubting full confirmation due to Goku's Super Saiyan hair and eyes. Additionally, he recognizes the current Piccolo but can't fathom why he would be at the Cell Games. He is shown being asked if the military forces of Earth should attack Cell. He decides against it, knowing that Goku is the only one strong enough to defeat Cell. In the anime, after Jimmy Firecracker announces that Mr. Satan has defeated Cell, he voices his doubts and that it must have really been someone like Goku who must have come along to save everyone.

Buu Saga

King Furry is killed, along with the rest of Earth's population, when Super Buu unleashes his Human Extinction Attack. He was revived by Porunga along with everybody else killed by Buu and contributed to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb to defeat Kid Buu.

Teaming up with Chi-Chi, the pair rescue the Survivor from Saibamen that Nappa planted and escape to different area.

Trivia

  • It is possible that one of King Furry's ancestors used the Dragon Balls to wish for royalty, as it was stated a few times in Dragon Ball that the first person to use the Dragon Balls wished to become the king; this may also explain why Earth is ruled by a single person.
  • In the Funimation dub of the 172nd episode of Dragon Ball Z, King Furry recites a quote by U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
