Nhobusa (ノーブサ, Nōbusa) is a human native to North City. He was one of the first members of the New Red Ribbon Army recruited by Cardinal in Age 750. He served as Cardinal's second-in-command, overseeing the NRRA operations in the Crimson Fingers island chain in the Red Sea. He is a secondary character in the West City Saga of Dragon Ball: Heart of the Dragon.
Overview[]
Appearance[]
Nhobusa is a tall, dark-skinned man. He has a thin grey beard and curly black-and-grey hair. Nhobusa wears formal black-and-white suits at all times.
Personality[]
Nhobusa has a cold, direct personality. He is perfectly aligned with Cardinal when it comes to the NRRA's goals of taking over the world and ridding it of all alien life. He takes a no-nonsense approach to his job, never allowing emotion to drive him. He's more cautious than any other NRRA officer, not willing to risk his life or the organization itself in any foolhardy plan. He is one of the more intelligent members of their organization and does not let arrogance sway his judgment. With that said, he's deeply loyal to the NRRA, doing whatever he can to enact their plans, no matter what it takes.
History[]
Dragon Ball: Heart of the Dragon[]
West City Saga[]
On the night of June 12th, Age 774, Jia convened with Oscalpano and a man named Nhobusa (Cardinal's second-in-command) in a hospital room in Central City. Cardinal was hooked up to a breathing machine, unconscious. Nhobusa told them their orders were to lay low and wait for Cardinal to wake up. Oscalpano asked how many SAARO employees had survived. Nhobusa told him that they were the only three remaining on the mainland. Five associates and two dozen lower-level employees were stationed in the Crimson Fingers island chain to the south.
Oscalpano wanted to attack Ledas before he had a chance to heal, thinking it was their only chance to kill him. Nhobusa didn't consider that was wise, as they had no means of hurting the boy. Nhobusa said King Furry had appointed a new head of SAARO due to Cardinal's condition, and as such, they no longer had access to government funding in their campaign against the boy. He refused to give Oscalpano access to Cardinal's private accounts to finance further actions against the Saiyan. Jia promised to monitor Ledas without interfering. Oscalpano didn't appreciate that strategy. He suggested they try poisoning Ledas again. Jia reminded him that Ledas had hardly been affected by the paralyzing agent. Her life could be put at risk if they tried poisoning him again. Oscalpano still wanted to try again. Nhobusa warned him that he would be going against Cardinal if he did so. Oscalpano pleaded with them to help him, citing their mission directive at SAARO as preserving Earth at all costs, which they'd only be able to do by killing the Saiyan. Nhobusa told him they had no means of killing Ledas, so he needed to drop it.
A nurse entered the room, quickly leaving after Nhobusa flashed his SAARO badge and asked for privacy. Oscalpano followed her out. Nhobusa asked Jia to contact him if Ledas threatened the planet. Otherwise, her orders were to observe and report. Jia asked if she should stop Oscalpano if he tried anything. Nhobusa wanted her to contact him in that case, noting her account would fund Ledas' house and expenses for at least two more years, so there was no need to change anything yet. He promised to call her when Cardinal's condition improved.
Jia recalled the doctor saying they hadn't detected brain waves in Cardinal, fearing he'd become a vegetable. Nhobusa wasn't as pessimistic as her, reminding her there would need to be more tests done before that was confirmed. Jia wanted them to create a contingency plan in case Cardinal never woke up, but Nhobusa refused to entertain the thought. They said their goodbyes, and Jia left the room.
In the afternoon of June 19th, Jia received a text from Nhobusa asking her to meet him at the hospital in two days, as Cardinal's condition had changed.
On the night of June 21st, Jia met with Nhobusa in Cardinal's hospital room. King Furry and a pair of his royal guards joined them. Nhobusa confirmed that Cardinal had no brainwaves. He was effectively a vegetable. He planned on pulling the plug sometime before morning, but not before transferring Cardinal's assets to SAARO. Furry told them they'd maintain their positions in SAARO (Nhobusa as the commander of the detachment in the Crimson Fingers, Jia as Ledas' caretaker). He wanted to know more about what Jia was doing, however. She explained that she was acting as Ledas' caretaker because he was only thirteen and an orphan. Hopefully, with her guidance, she could prevent him from ever attempting to conquer the world. The king wondered if she and Cardinal had been planning an elaborate assassination plot against the boy, speculating that the NRRA tower collapse had been related to that. Nhobusa swore that wasn't the case, lying that Cardinal had ceased action against the boy more than a month prior. Jia noted that Ledas was doing better with a parental figure in his life and was about to graduate seventh grade.
Furry was glad to hear it, confirming he'd fund her position until the boy reached the age of eighteen, at which point she'd return to her previous role in SAARO. He ordered them to never attack Goku's friends again, telling them that the group had been responsible for Majin Buu's defeat, not Mr. Satan, which surprised Nhobusa. He promised to fire them if he found any evidence of them working against the Z Fighters, including Ledas, in the future. With that, he and his guards left the room.
Jia asked Nhobusa what their plan was. He asked her to lay low for now and not tell Ledas about Cardinal's death. He would devise a new plan, but it would take a while. He promised to come up with their final effort against the Saiyan before he turned eighteen and King Furry's funding ran out. Nhobusa began texting someone. Jia took that as her cue to leave.
