Background

Dabura is a demonic entity spawned in the Demon Realm, who served for thousands upon thousands of years as the King of the Demon Realm. Though the Realm itself is mysterious and unknown, Dabura was an incredibly evil and belligerent ruler, with a heart filled with evil.

Unfortunately, this heart of evil was turned against Dabura, once he encountered the alien wizard, Babidi. Using his evil magic, Babidi was able to twist Dabura’s evil heart under his control; granting him an “M” on his forehead, and the title of Majin.

Dabura would go on to serve under Babidi blindly, including Babidi’s invasion of Earth, where he and Babidi’s other minions were tasked with gathering energy to reawaken Majin Buu. Dabura eventually was pitted against Son Gohan, who he toyed with for a while before abruptly leaving the fight.

Unbeknownst to the heroes, Dabura had sensed the evil heart within the Saiyan, Vegeta, and revealed this to Babidi, which led to the creation of Majin Vegeta. Once Majin Vegeta gathered enough energy, Majin Buu was unleashed. However, he was absolutely nothing like Dabura imagined.

Feeling insulted by Majin Buu’s innocence and toddler-like nature, Dabura decided that Buu would need to be taken out, as he would be incredibly dangerous to both he and Babidi if left unchecked. Dabura’s attempt to stop Majin Buu, however, was horribly ill-fated. Before he even knew it, Buu had transformed the Demon King into candy, and ate him.

Following his death, Dabura was sent to Other World, where King Yemma decided that he would enjoy Hell too much, and so sent him to Heaven. Now free from Babidi’s control, and surrounded by the goodness of Hell, Dabura began to see the error of his ways.

Slowly but surely, Dabura became an extremely pure and benevolent being, who would go on to help the heroes look for Son Gohan, when they encountered him in Other World. He regretted his actions deeply, truly having become a good person. He was likely revived when a wish was made on the Dragon Balls to bring back all those with a good heart, who were killed by Majin Buu.

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Chi Manipulation & Ki Manipulation (Dabura can generate Ki for attacks. All beings in Dragon Ball have ki , the very life force energy of all characters, 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, higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them. A users ki aura can exert itself as a weapon to attack), Attack Reflection (All Ki users are able to reflect attacks just by being stronger than their opponent. Examples include, Nappa deflecting a masenko from Son Gohan, Son Gohan being able to bounce back the spirit bomb, Son Goku deflecting a crusher ball from Jeice, Frieza deflecting a Final Burst Cannon from Vegeta, Son Goku reflecting multiple death beams back to back from Frieza, and Future Trunks being able to completely repel an energy blast with his hand from a Frieza Soldier just by being much stronger than them), Homing Attack (Ki users can create attacks that will home in and chase a target forever), Power Absorption & Transferal (Ki users can transfer their ki to others and absorb the ki given to them from others), Aura (He can surround himself in an aura of Ki. Has an aura of ki surrounding him whenever he exerts ki), Vibration Manipulation (Powerful ki users can cause the very ground itself to shake when they power up), Intimidation, Spirit Manipulation & Pain Manipulation ( Ki is the manifestation of one’s lifeforce, along with the aura giving one the feeling of being crushed, exerting fear into the target, sometimes making them incapable of moving as their body is instinctively stuck due to the sheer difference in power), Energy Manipulation (Ki is the latent power in one's body, this latent power allows them to form and create energy from controlling their ki, which can be used to shoot out energy blast), Explosion Manipulation (Ki attacks can create massive explosions, control the ki to set off a huge explosion under the enemy, or in front of them), Heat Manipulation (Ki user's ki attacks produce heat allowing them to cook and grill animals and raw meat, along with leaving behind steam after the attacks hit an area, showing its latent heat), Nullification (Attack Nullification; Those with ki can nullify attacks of lesser ki with their ki alone. They can also catch and nullify ki attacks around their level through focusing enough. Power Nullification; Through having greater ki, one can nullify the powers done through ki attacks, such as Frieza being able to nullify a hakai ball, which fully destroys a target, though he is unable to resist a hakai ball from Toppo due to him being stronger, this ability however only works on ki, attacks unrelated, characters cannot resist through being stronger, such as how Vegeta, Krillin, & Son Gohan are unable to resist Guldo's psychic powers, along with even the likes of Son Goku), Forcefield Creation (Ki users such as Cell can generate forcefields around themselves. These forcefields can be expanded, and used to protect others and defend against attacks far higher then the user), Super Armor (Through releasing one's ki, they enter a state known as "Hyper Mode", in this state they do not flinch from weak melee attacks), Self-Destruction (Ki users in Dragon Ball are able to release all of the energy within them to cause a massive self-destruction of energy that normally kills the user and turns them into dust though one can control it to surviving but having no stamina or energy left), Light Manipulation (Ki can be used as a flash of light, Degisu seeing ki attacks be fired notes that the characters are "firing light from their hands"), Binding (Energy Binding; Ki Users can use their ki to bind targets to objects, making them unable to escape even if they're of equal power, however, those stronger then the ki user can easily break out of it), Dreaming Existence (Characters in Shin Budokai have shown to create physical bodies in alternate timelines through dreaming), Non-Standard Interaction (Intangible Interaction; Those with ki can block intangible attacks when they focus and notices them. Space-Time Interaction; Characters can blast space-time distortions to close them), Healing (Ki can be used to heal beings, allowing them to survive even with half their torso, it can also heal from near death), Fusionism (Dabura can perform the Fusion Dance).

Limited Resistance to Durability Negation (Ki users can focus their energy to localize an object to a specific spot to stop them from attempting to destroy their organs/insides), Resistance to Poison Manipulation (Can resist poisons through Forcefield Creation)

Notable Techniques

• Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Dabura is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.
• Ki Blast: Using Ki, Dabura can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
• Ki Sense: Dabura is able to detect lifeforms and power levels from far off.
• Magic Materialization: Using magic, Dabura is able to conjure weapons for himself out of thin air, such as swords and spears, which he can use with great proficiency.
• Evil Flame: Dabura spews a stream of demonic flames from his mouth, which melts nearly anything it touches.
• Telekinesis: Dabura can telekinetically move objects, such as the barrage of boulders he telekinetically threw at Son Gohan.
• Stone Spit: By spitting onto an object, Dabura is able to immediately turn it to stone. Those turned to stone remain alive, though their stone bodies are extremely fragile. If Dabura is killed, the petrification is undone.
• Cape Swing: Dabura slices through the air with his claws, which launches streaks of Ki energy at the opponent. These ki streaks are shown to cleanly cut through nearly everything.

Other

Standard Tactics: Dabura will employ hand to hand combat along with ki attacks. He will also use his stone spit ability to petrify his foes along with using his sword in combat.

Weaknesses

• Standard Ki 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, using a large amount of ki overtime can greatly weaken them to the point that characters far lower then them can actually harm them with attacks. Taking large amounts of damage can greatly deplete a ki users attacks, making it where attacks that would otherwise kill massively weakened characters, only pushes them back. Ki users that are able to ki sense cannot do it when their guard is dropped, such as when Vegeta was able to sneak attack Son Goku during the end of their fight in the Buu Saga. Despite some ki users being able to reach blasts that can destroy planets through charged attacks or techniques, they have not shown to be able to tank such blasts themself, with attacks that have destroyed several planets in the series always killing the character. Even characters such as Majin Buu's body cannot withstand the energy of a planet exploding.

Note

• 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.
• 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.
