Background

Janemba is the main antagonist in Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai, and he appears in several other Dragon Ball media. He is a powerful demon and the living definition of evil.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Janemba’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Janemba appears as the primary antagonist of Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai. Being formed by the evil energy clumping together in Hell, Janemba begins interfering with multiple dimensions and timelines in an attempt to throw the universe into chaos. Throughout the game, he does things like spread evil energy across Earth, revives many empowered dead villains, and attempt to turn Vegeta into another body for himself. At the end of the game, he faces off against Kid Buu (who challenges him in Hell after escaping the area that Supreme Kai imprisoned him in thanks to Janemba's havoc) and is eventually finally defeated at the hands of Super Gogeta once more.

Attack Potency: At least Island level (Fought against Shin Budokai Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku. Son Goku also in the game fought and defeated Broly. Far above Super Perfect Cell, who is far superior to his Semi-Perfect form, who destroyed several islands with several blast), Much Higher with Strongest Charged Blast (His strongest charged blast by this point should be superior to Super Perfect Cell's solar kamehameha which is shown that if it succeeded, it would've destroyed the entire planet)

Stamina: Superhuman (Should be comparable to Vegeta who stood thinking for three days without showing any signs of tiring or growing hungry)

Range: Standard Melee, Interstellar with Ki Attacks (Ki attacks can reach out of the planet and to other planets. All ki attacks should be comparable to Goku's kamehameha, which reached all the way to the sun), Multi-Universal with Evil Energy (The evil energy spread across all of Earth and hell and across multiple timelines)

Powers and Techniques






All previous powers and abilities to a much greater extent.

  • Enhanced Senses Negation (The evil energy makes it difficult to sense others presences)
  • Life Manipulation (The evil energy created Janemba)
  • Power Nullification (The evil energy has repeatedly nullified the Z-Fighter's abilities to sense one's ki or telepathically talk with one another through setting up barriers between worlds)
  • Sealing (One that gets caught in the barrier gets sealed within it)
  • Power Bestowal (The evil energy amplifies villains to be far stronger than they were prior)
  • Corruption & Hell Manipulation (Anyone that takes in the evil energy will become evil themselves, with even good people be affected)
  • Multipresence (The evil energy is present in multiple timelines and places)
  • Space-Time Manipulation (The evil energy causes distortions in space and time, using these distortions to bring Cell back)
  • Portal Creation (The evil energy created portals across different timelines)
  • Spatial Manipulation (The evil energy has been twisting space around)
  • Mimicry (Physiology Mimicry; The evil energy creates fake copies of people)


  • Equipment

    • Dimension Sword: An Ogre's club transformed into Janemba's personal sword via Matter Manipulation.

    Notable Techniques

    • Flight: The ability to fly through magical prowess.
    • Ki Blast: Janemba is capable of firing destructive ki blasts or projectiles from either his hands or mouth.
    • Instant Transmission: Janemba teleports behind the opponent by locking onto their energy signature.
    • Cloning: Janemba is able to create small copies of himself and others, such as when he creates a clone of Goku to counter the latter's Kamehameha. Super Janemba also displays the ability to create clones of other people in the story of Shin Budokai, such as when he creates a perfect copy of Goku out of magic and later a clone of Majin Vegeta and when he creates clone of himself in the form of a sentient wall which surrounds King Yemma's castle.
    • Dimension Sword Attack: This technique is used in his final form when he stabs at his opponent through portals using his sword in similar manner to Illusion Smash.
    • Evil Energy: Janemba is born from and maintained by evil energy. Evil energy appears as purple clouds. When enough evil energy clumps together, or takes over a person, it takes on a physical body, becoming Janemba. As shown in the Shin Budokai games, if Janemba's physical body is destroyed, he will revert to his evil energy state until evil energy clumps together or a new host is found. Evil energy appears in places and planes of existence where Janemba goes, but if Janemba's physical form is destroyed by good energy, then all the released evil energy on that plane of existence will be destroyed.

    Other

    Standard Tactics: Janemba uses the help of the evil energy to either create clones, attack people with his sword, or use ki attacks.
