Aliases & name spellings

• Ranin (as heard; also “Run in”, “Ranen”, once “Rani”) — the name Hera calls (ep 0227 00:28:20–00:28:43). Spelling unknown.
• “The hooded figure”, “your guardian angel” (ep 0216); “Mr. Devil” is what he calls Vegito, not himself (ep 0223 00:14:00).
• Rani’s child; “young devil” (Lucif, ep 0171) — the same being, now grown (ep 0227 00:38:17–00:38:24).

Overview

The son of Ultra Vegito and Rani, the mother of all angels, born from Vegito’s blood after Dai smote Rani (ep 0175), now “a fully grown man, no longer just a baby” (ep 0227 00:38:17–00:38:24). As a hooded figure he stopped Vegito from rushing Lucif and saved Ardos from Chronoa; he enters the Elder Gods’ tournament as Hera’s fighter in Round 8 (ep 0216; ep 0223; ep 0227 00:28:18–00:28:53). He calls himself the Devil Gene made flesh, beat Trunks and Goten, met Gogito as Hera’s teammate, and last fought Akobel’s Goku, calling himself “the god killer’s son” (ep 0229 00:12:36–00:35:08; ep 0241 00:33:12–00:34:57; ep 0243 00:08:41–00:31:07). Others still measure strength against him afterwards (ep 0247 00:23:09; ep 0250 00:00:52).

• How is his name spelled? Heard only (ep 0227 00:28:20–00:28:43).
