Dragon Ball: How Majin Buu Saga Could Have Been Improved
Despite holding some of the most memorable moments of the series, the Majin Buu Saga is a false conclusion that could have been updated in many ways.
Who is Demon King Dabura in Dragon Ball DAIMA?
The first series of Dragon Ball ALWAYS quickly addresses the cause of Dabura's death at the hands of Majin Buu, and the new Supreme Demon King Gomah fills the void left by the fall. When Goku, Glorio, and Shin arrive in the Third Demon World, they pass a statue of the former king Dabura holding a peace sign. This look is far from the diabolical Dabura seen there Dragon Ball Zbut there is a very important reason for this.
Dabura's statue does not have the 'M' logo on its forehead. This mark is later seen on Vegeta when he allows the evil sorcerer Babidi to control and strengthen his powers as he brings out Vegeta's darkest nature. The same control was applied to Dabura, and it means that all the negative versions of him found throughout the majority Dragon Ball Z The Dabura who ruled the demon kingdom may be far away. King Kadan of the Third Demon World expresses his wish in episode 5 of ALWAYS to become the Supreme Demon King after Gomah was defeated for the peace of the demon kingdom.
The pure evil version of his form seen throughout most of Dragon Ball Z could be a far cry from Dabura who ruled the demon kingdom.
Dabura makes a scary appearance there Dragon Ball Z when he quickly kills Kibito before turning Piccolo and Krillin to stone by simply spitting on them. Dabura continues to stand against the Z fighter until Babidi's ultimate goal of building the monstrous Majin Buu is accomplished, but Buu's sarcastic comments quickly lead to Dabura being turned into a cookie and eaten. While many of the villains from this story and others end up in hell, King Yemma decided to send Dabura to heaven because he might have enjoyed hell too much. he. Dabura seems to be fully reformed as a happy pure soul in heaven and is friends with Chi-Chi, Bulma, and even Videl, but the desire to resurrect all but the worst that Buu killed still leaves the Dabura in heaven.
So far, Gomah seems to be a more dangerous and evil ruler of the demon kingdom Dragon Ball ALWAYS. Each new episode expands on what is currently known about the demon kingdom, and new details about the reign of the Demon King Dabura can still be revealed. There is also a chance that an updated Dabura may be brought up with the Dragon Balls at some point during the series, but fans will have to stay tuned. Dragon Ball ALWAYS to learn if this becomes a reality.
