Revision as of 00:32, 8 February 2007 by Beowulph (talk | contribs) (→Video games)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Template:DB Character Dabura is a fictional character in the manga Dragon Ball and the anime Dragon Ball Z. He is the King of the Demons, and Babadi's right-hand man, being placed under his control by a spell. His name is originally taken from the last half of the incantation "Abracadabra".
His title, "Demon King", is not to be confused with that of one of the previous villains, Piccolo Daimaō (or Great Demon King Piccolo).
Biography
Template:Spoiler Dabura is first seen when the Z Fighters (Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo and Kuririn) are led to Babadi's ship by Kibito and East Kaioshin to aid them in preventing Buu's awakening. Babidi and Dabura are aware of their hiding place in the mountains nearby and, as it takes a massive amount of energy to awaken Buu, Babidi decides to use theirs; Dabura is ordered to kill all but Kaioshin and the strongest three and lure the remainder inside the ship. Dabura obeys and quickly charges the group and, with a single blast, kills Kibito; he then leaps in the air and spits on Piccolo and Kuririn, turning them to stone, before retreating back into Babidi's ship.
Dabura joins Babidi in a monitoring room and watches as first Vegeta easily kills Babidi's henchman Pui-Pui and Goku then destroys Yakon before he himself emerges to confront Gohan. When first encountered, Goku states that Dabura's power is comparable to Perfect Cell.
During his battle with Gohan, Dabura takes notice of Vegeta's poor temperament and his one-track mind for settling things with Goku. Dabura then retreats from the fight with Gohan in order to inform Babidi; Babidi quickly takes advantage of that information and possesses Vegeta.
With Vegeta now battling Goku, Dabura stands with Babidi to fight against Kaioshin and Gohan. Before they can start though, they are all shocked as the energy released in Vegeta and Goku's battle has already been enough to release Buu, as both fighters were fighting at Super Saiyan 2, the form thought to be the pinnacle of Super Saiyan states at the time. When Buu emerges, Dabura is disappointed, as it seems the fat being is nothing more than a useless imbecile. Buu overhears this remark and attacks Dabura, quickly gouging him in the eyes and then kicking him into a mountain, leaving him broken. Dabura does manage to recover somewhat though, and throws a spear through Buu. He tries to convince Babidi that Buu is uncontrollable and should be contained again but Babidi will have none of it. Buu then retaliates against Dabura, turning him into a large cookie and eating him. This in turn reverts what he did to Piccolo and Kuririn, restoring them to normal.
King Enma punishes Dabura in the afterlife by sending him to Heaven since, being a demon, he would enjoy Hell.
Non-manga
- In the anime, when he fights Gohan, Dabura easily manages to best him until Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan 2; at which point they become roughly even in combat. In the manga, Dabura and Gohan were equal when Gohan was in his Super Saiyan form and he never transformed into his Super Saiyan 2 form.
- In the anime, Dabura is shown happy in heaven, repenting his previous sins and looking back on them with remorse. He is accompanied by Bulma, Chi-Chi and Videl in their search for Gohan in the afterlife.
