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. |

Sex: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Incarnate of Evil, Evil Energy
Species: Unknown
Occupation: None
Status: Deceased (Janemba was killed by Goku and Vegeta with a massive twin kamehameha wave)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Janemba is the incarnate of evil that wishes to completely undo the laws of death and cause massive destruction. His fight with Kid Buu was going to destroy all of hell overtime)
Codex Statistics
Tier: At least 6-C, Up to 4-C with Strongest Charged Blast
Dimensionality: 3-D
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), Up to Star level with Strongest Charged Blast (His strongest charged blast should be superior to Super Perfect Cell's solar kamehameha who was going to going to destroy the entire Solar System, which was going to be done through the process of destroying the sun)
Durability: At least Island level, Higher with Guard Up (Ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard), Lower with Ki Control (Higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them)
Striking Strength: At least Island Class
Lifting Strength: Class 50 (Is superior to Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku, who is superior to his Super Saiyan Buu Saga self, who could casually fight while carrying 40 tons)
Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Superior to Super Saiyan Son Goku on Namek, who previously in his base form traveled from Frieza's ship over to Vegeta in this timeframe)
Combat Speed: Massively Hypersonic+
Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Far beyond 22nd Budokai Son Goku, who could dodge a mouth blast from Tambourine, which he used to tag the flying nimbus where even post King Kai training Goku used the flying nimbus to make it to the saiyans implying it is at least comparable to his flight speed by then, with Goku being capable of traveling over a million of kilometers in two days which results in these speeds)
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 Range, 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), Multiversal Cell with Evil Energy (The evil energy spread across all of Earth and hell and across multiple timelines)
Intelligence: Animalistic (Janemba is the pure incarnation of evil having no true coherent thought and thinking merely like an animal and functioning on instinct)
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 then they were prior), Corruption & Hell Manipulation (Anyone that takes in the evil energy will become evil themselves, with even good people be affected), Omnipresence (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.
Weaknesses: Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, allowing them to not be able to tank or die to far lower attacks such as attacks that have destroyed the planets of several worlds. If Janemba uses up too much of his evil energy to absorb someone and they remove him he greatly weakens. Speaking ill of Janemba creates a reaction that weakens Janemba. Extinguishing all evil energy will permanently kill him.
Note: Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai's english script is heavily mistranslated with characters going off on tangents that make no sense, replying to different conversations, many typos, and writing errors. Such as a conversation between Vegeta and Android 18 where they went from talking about continuing the fight to Vegeta out of nowhere asking Android 18 to take Trunks and them away from the camp. Due to this, take a lot of the statistics and justifications with a grain of salt as there is no official updated translation that fixes these errors.
Note 2: Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up[5].
Note 3: The speed scaling for PLs are taken with a grain of salt as there are noticeable times where someone's speed isn't equal to their power, such as Burter being faster then Recoome and Jeice, along with Super Saiyan Grade 3 Trunks having his power greatly increased but his speed decreased.
