President of Red Pharmaceuticals, the current public face of the Red Ribbon Army. In order to rebuild the army, he gets in touch with Dr. Hedo.

According to Twitter outlet @DBSChronicles, Magenta will fight a "certain someone" in the film. It's speculated that "certain someone" could be one of the less powerful Z-Fighters: Pan, Krillin, or Gotenks, but Toei Animation hasn't revealed who that could be.

Dr. Hedo also created a deadly insect-like cyborg agent known as "Hachimaru", which is described to have "terrifying abilities", but Toei Animation hasn't revealed additional details about those abilities. The villain's wasp-like design looks like an effective way for the genius scientist Dr. Hedo to gather material from various powerful warriors in order to create a new generation of powerful androids for the Red Ribbon Army.

The name of the new cyborg agent is a play on the word "hatch", which supports the theory that whatever material Hachimaru gathers for Hedo's egg will transform into the Red Ribbon Army's biggest threat yet.

According to reports, Hachimaru will kill Magenta in the movie.

Android 21
