Burter

is the fastest member of the mercenary platoon known as the Ginyu Force. Being nicknamed the "Blue Hurricane", he often performs combo attacks with Jeice, such as the Purple Comet Hurricane. He is very arrogant, boastful, and tends to talk down to his opponents.
==Appearance==
Burter is the tallest member of the Ginyu Force, towering over the other members. He is a hybrid of a reptile and an alien with blue skin, red eyes without pupils and many small spots on his body as well as a light orange plate with a segmented pattern on his head, tubular ears and no nose. He wears a black variant of the usual uniform most of Frieza's army wears but, due to being a member of the Ginyu Force, has a small logo located on one of his Battle Armor chest plates. Like many other members of Frieza's army, he wears a green scouter.
==Personality==
Burter is very proud of his speed, claiming that he's the fastest in the universe, which led to him dubbing himself the "Blue Hurricane". Despite Frieza being much faster than him, Burter still calls himself the fastest in the universe, which indicates that he is either arrogant enough to make such a boast despite knowing that Frieza is much faster, or deluded enough to think that he is faster than Frieza. After Guldo is killed by Vegeta, Burter, Recoome, and Jeice are annoyed that their poses will be messed up since they are missing a member. When Recoome is defeated by Goku, he is extremely surprised. He becomes very annoyed when Goku proves himself to be faster.
Burter is good friends with fellow Ginyu Force member Jeice, with the two performing combined attacks on their enemies. Burter seems to be the strategist of the team when Ginyu is not around, which is shown when he comes up with the plan to have Jeice distract Goku with his Crusher Ball while he (Burter) attacks Goku from behind.
Like the other members of the Ginyu Force, Burter is shown to be a rather comical character by doing poses, playing Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who will fight who, and betting Candy over fights.
==Biography==
===Background===
Like the other members of the Ginyu Force, Burter's special powers originated during his childhood: Burter's mother was very strict, making him do all the household chores and slapping him if he was late preparing dinner; because of this, he became the "fastest in the universe".Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu, 1992, strategy guide He soon became a member of Frieza's elite mercenary platoon, the Ginyu Force: Burter is the self-proclaimed "Azure Typhoon" (or "Blue Hurricane", in the Dragon Ball manga and video games), and fancies himself as the fastest being in the universe.
While facing the Dragon Team on Namek, in the Funimation dub, Burter mentions that he has defeated hundreds of Saiyans.Dragon Ball Z episode 68, "Ginyu Assault" In the Ocean Group dubs, Captain Ginyu mentions that Burter was once a baseball champion (a "great center fielder").Dragon Ball Z episode 49, "Elite Fighters of the Universe... The Ginyu Force"
===Dragon Ball Z===
====Frieza Saga====
After Frieza calls the Ginyu Force for support, Burter and the rest of his team find Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan trying to grant Vegeta's wish of immortality. Burter gets to show his amazing speed when Vegeta throws one of the Dragons Balls as hard as he could, but Burter manages to fly, catch it and return in a matter of seconds, shocking Vegeta greatly. Just before Ginyu takes all the Dragon Balls to Frieza's Spaceship, Burter and the rest of his crew decide who gets to kill whom.Dragon Ball Z episode 62, "New Ally, New Problem" Along with Jeice, after losing a Rock-Paper-Scissors match,Dragon Ball Z episode 63, "Guldo's Mind Binds" Burter is a spectator to the fight between Recoome, Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan,Dragon Ball Z episode 64, "Recoome Unleashed"Dragon Ball Z episode 65, "Let the Battle Begin" and it is not until Goku arrives and single-handedly incapacitates Recoome that he joins combat.Dragon Ball Z episode 66, "Goku's New Power" Burter and Jeice spray Goku with countless physical attacks and energy waves, but Goku proves to be fast enough to avoid the efforts of both elites (much to Burter's surprise, who prides himself on his unmatched speed).
Eventually, after realizing that attacking Goku head on is not working, Burter and Jeice communicate from far distances using their scouters to come up with a plan: Jeice will fire his ultimate attack, the Crusher Ball, and when Goku dodges the attack, Burter will attack the distracted Goku. Unfortunately for them, the plan fails as Goku easily deflects the Crusher Ball with no effort.Dragon Ball Z episode 67, "A Legend Revealed" Goku then defeats Burter with two crippling blows to the back. Shortly after, in spite of Goku's wishes to give the Ginyu Force member a chance to redeem his selfish ways, Vegeta ruthlessly finishes the unconscious Burter by dropping his knee on Burter's neck, breaking it and killing him instantly.
In the anime, the Ginyu Force (aside from their leader who is still alive) are invited to King Kai's Planet. Burter joins Jeice in using the Purple Comet Attack against Tien Shinhan, only to be defeated soon after when the Z Fighters realize how little of the threat the platoon actually poses due to their increased potential.Dragon Ball Z episode 94, "Power of the Spirit"Dragon Ball Z episode 95, "Transformed at Last"
====Majin Buu Saga====
 
In the anime, Burter, Cell, Frieza, King Cold and the other members of the Ginyu Force (minus Captain Ginyu) are torturing the ogres in order to divulge information as a means to escape from Hell. Goku effortlessly defeats him, with a knee to the stomach, along with the rest of the Ginyu Force. When Pikkon interferes and uses Hyper Tornado, he creates a whirlpool in the Bloody Pond, lifting the Ginyu Force into the air to make them fall into a mountain of needles, thus impaling them. Shortly afterward, Burter is locked with his comrades in a prison cell.Dragon Ball Z episode 195, "Warriors of the Dead"
Burter is evidently seen once more as one of the spectators among the slew of villains in Hell who are watching the battle between Goku and Kid Buu on a giant Crystal Ball.Dragon Ball Z episode 280, "Vegeta's Respect"Dragon Ball Z episode 284, "Call to Action"Dragon Ball Z episode 286, "Spirit Bomb Triumphant"

==Other Dragon Ball Stories==
===World Mission===
;Chapter 2, Sub Chapter 3 - "An Unthinkable Appearance!"
In Chapter 2, Sub Chapter 3: "An Unthinkable Appearance!", an anomaly in the game world causes the game world Frieza and the Ginyu Force from a period where Frieza hadn't yet encountered Goku to invade Earth in Age 764 of the game world main timeline during Mecha Frieza and King Cold's invasion.
;Normal Mission - Worst Case Scenario
After Beat and Note of the DBH Team kill the anomalous Dodoria and Zarbon sent by the anomalous Frieza to invade Earth in search of the Dragon Balls as well as defeat, Mecha Frieza and King Cold. However the anomalous Frieza and his Ginyu Force arrive in Frieza's Spaceship and find a cybernetically enhanced Frieza and King Cold. The anomalous Frieza and Mecha Frieza are able to determine they are counterparts and upon learning of the Super Saiyan Goku, the anomalous Frieza agrees to join forces with his counterpart and his counterpart's father. However Beat and Note receive backup from Froze and the team's newest member Kagyu who join in the fight against the anomalous Frieza Force, Mecha Frieza, and King Cold. The anomalous Ginyu Force fight alongside their Lord Frieza, Mecha Frieza, and King Cold against Beat, Note, Froze, and Kagyu. The anomalous Burter and the rest of the Ginyu Force are slain during the battle with Captain Ginyu barely surviving.
;Normal Mission - A Speedy Showdown!
In the Chapter 2, Sub Chapter 3 side mission: "A Speedy Showdown!", Beat comes across the game world versions of Burter, his Cooler's Armored Squadron rival Neiz, and Dyspo of the Pride Troopers arguing which one among them is the fastest with Burter boasting he is the #1 fastest and that the other two can fight over the #2 and #3 positions. Beat finds them an odd trio and greets them before asking what they are talking about. Dyspo explains its who the fastest is and notes when you break it down rationally, he's the top speedster in the Pride Troopers--hence the fastest in the multiverse.
Burter however says the Pride Troopers sound like a show for two years olds and declares that he's the fastest in the Frieza Force thus numero uno among the three of them. Neiz ever loyal to the Cooler Force mocks Frieza and that he's the quickest in the only outfit that matters: Cooler's Armored Squadron.
Dyspo suggests they let a third party decide and suggests Beat as said third party. Neiz however asks what would he know about speed and Beat says not much but suggests they show how fast they are by fighting him. Burter thinks Beat wants to see him the Blue Hurricane at work and doesn't blame him, saying he might be alright after all. However Neiz calling him Burt says he's pretty sure Beat was talking to him. Dyspo notes it seems Burter and Neiz have no objections. Dyspo asks Beat if he's ready for a shellacking at light speed and can't think of a better way to compare. Beat says he thinks he can handle it and accepts. Neiz tells Beat to not go crying home if he can't see him.
Burter notes he'll have Beat's eyes spinning point-five seconds in before Dyspo gives the signal to start with a "Ready, Set, Go!"
However to their surprise, Beat is able to defeat all three of them and Dyspo notes that it came outta left field and that the "darned kid" can keep up. Burter agrees and suggests that instead of quibbling among themselves and Dyspo finishes Burter's sentence by agreeing they train together. Beat is surprised to see the start of a beautiful friendship between the three speedsters after they lost to him.
==Power==
;Manga and Anime
During the Namek Saga, Krillin states that both Burter and Jeice are as strong as Recoome who had a power level superior to Vegeta's 30,000. Despite his claims that he is the fastest in the Universe, Burter's close up combat speed is shown to be inferior to Goku's during their battle on Namek, though his travel speed is shown to be so great that he was able to catch up to and grab a Dragon Ball that Vegeta threw into the distance without any of the Z Fighters noticing that he moved - with Ginyu noting that Burter's travel speed is at least superior to his own.
In the Other World Saga, Burter appears to have gotten much stronger, as Goku has to power up in order to deal with him together with Jeice, Recoome and Guldo. Frieza is also shocked that Goku was able to beat them all so easily.

Equipment
;Attack Ball
Like his fellow Ginyu Force members, Burter uses an Attack Ball featuring the Ginyu Force symbol to travel between planets. According to Vegeta in the Trunks Saga, the Ginyu Force Attack Balls were programmed to fly back to Yardrat as the Ginyu Force was in the middle of attacking it when Frieza summoned the Ginyu Force to Namek. It was either destroyed or used by Goku to escape Dying Namek (as the owner of the Attack Ball Goku used was never identified as it was only revealed it belonged to one of the Ginyu Force members).
;Scouter
Like most members of the Frieza Force, Burter wears a scouter which he uses to read power levels and for communications. However, like most of the Frieza Force he tends to rely too much on Scouter readings as he was confused by Goku's low power level being inconsistent with his abilities unaware that Goku was raising his power so instantaneously that the Ginyu Force's state-of-the-art Scouters could not detect the momentary increase. In Xenoverse 2, it is revealed he uses New Model Scouter (Green) just like the rest of his teammates (save for Guldo).
;Weighted clothing
In the Frieza's Spaceship time rift in Xenoverse 2, Burter reveals to the Future Warrior that he added heavy weights to his Battle Suit (Ginyu Force Black) for weighted training which is how he trains to maintain his speed.
;Fruit of the Tree of Might (Demon Realm)
Turles gives Burter some of this Fruit to Burter and Jeice during their fight with Goku and the Future Warrior. It causes Burter to power up greatly and gain an aura of Dark Energy.

==Trivia==
*Burter's Japanese name, Bāta, is off from the word Butter rearranged; he is called Butta (in Viz's manga), or Burta to reflect the name pun.
*There is a fighter who resembles Burter who appears on Grand Kai's Planet in the episode "Warriors of the Dead". This fighter's clothes and facial features imply that he was based on the same Settei / Chara Sheet as Moah.
**Another fighter that resembles Burter appears in "Vegeta's Respect" when watching the fight between Goku and Kid Buu. However, this fighter has an albino appearance and horns.
*Though Burter is clearly the largest member of the Ginyu Force in the manga/anime, it is often shown in merchandise that he is the same size or smaller than Recoome.
*Burter is capable of dealing out the longest combo in Budokai Tenkaichi 2 if he is given max power plus and has his speed maxed out.
*When Omega Shenron uses the Dragon Thunder technique against Burter in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, he will lie on top of the spikes, instead of being impaled on them.
*Burter is the first person in the series to refer to himself as the Fastest in the Universe, the second being Beerus' attendant Whis in Dragon Ball Super. However, in Burter's case, it is proven false as he is completely outclassed by Goku and it is likely that Frieza's speed is superior as well given his power and his race's superior speed that increases when near death. Also since Whis (who is even stronger than Beerus himself) has likely existed before Burter was even born, Burter's claims amount to at best, a falsely held belief (or at the worse, arrogant boasting) that he is the Fastest in the Universe.
**In Xenoverse 2, Whis demonstrates that his claim is valid as he is able to use his superior speed to playfully draw his mark on Beerus' forehead without the God of Destruction noticing until it was pointed out to him. This indicates that Whis truly is as fast as he claims.
*In World Mission, Burter is shown to have a rivalry with Neiz over who is the fastest. Due to an anomaly, he encounters Neiz and Dyspo of the Pride Troopers leading to an argument between the three of them as to who the fastest among them.
*Burter is the only member of the Ginyu Force that doesn't appear in Dragon Ball GT at any point.
