WithDragon Ball Daimaintroducing new elements to familiar characters, particularly those tied to the Demon Realm, it was inevitable thatDemon King Dabura, a key figure who made a brief appearance during the final saga ofDragon Ball Z, would receive further exploration. Episode #15 ofDragon Ball Daimafinally provides new insights into Dabura, unveiling his origins and further emphasizing the extent of his immense power.
The latest revelation highlights Demon King Dabura’s immense potential, suggesting thatthe version seen during the Babidi Saga was merely a shadow of his true self. Considering the newly unveiled lore, it’s not far-fetched to say that Dabura could have been a formidable villain in the series, one capable of serving as the main antagonist of the final Z saga and possibly giving Goku and Vegeta their most challenging battle in the original series.
Dragon Ball Daima Confirms Dabura Could Have Been a Lot Stronger
With the Third Eye Artifact in His Possession, Dabura’s Potential Would Have Been Limitless
Dragon Ball DaimaEpisode #15, “Third Eye,” delves into the lore ofthe Third Eye artifactand its importance in the Demon Realm. The episode reveals that Dabura’s father, Abura, once ruled the Demon World with the Third Eye, also known as the Tertian Oculus, in his possession. The artifact is shown to have been passed down through generations of Demon Kings, symbolizing authority and power. By wielding the Third Eye,the Demon Kings gained immeasurable magical abilitiesand were capable of harnessing otherworldly power.
However, this artifact was lost when Dabura, seeking to overthrow his father, orchestrated its theft. Though Dabura could have claimed the Third Eye for himself, he chose to have it hidden in the Third Demon World. By doing so, Dabura dethroned his father and became the new ruler of the Demon World. The fact that Dabura ascended to the throne without the Third Eye, an artifact that had elevated all previous Demon Kings to Supreme Demon Kings, highlights the immense potential he possesses.
Additionally, the official power ranking forDabura in the originalDragon Ball Zfranchise is recorded as the highest ever, with a staggering power level exceeding 200 million, placing him above the base Super Saiyan. Even if power levels quickly became obsolete in the series, it was stated during the Buu saga thatDabura was about as strong as Cell, meaning that, with the Third Eye in his possession, he could have easily surpassed Goku and Vegeta even in their Super Saiyan 2 forms.
Dragon Ball’s Majin Buu Saga Rules Actually, And It Took Daima to Show Me That
Dragon Ball’s Buu Saga is often pointed to as one of the series' weakest, but as Daima continues on, the series shines a light on all its good parts.
Considering that Dabura brought the entire Demon Realm to its knees without this artifact, he would have become even stronger with the Third Eye, comparable to Kid Buu, ranking among the most powerful beings in the universe. This confirms that his potential as the Supreme Demon King was barely touched upon. By neglecting to find the Third Eye, Dabura unfortunately never lived up to his full potential.
The Artifact Will Play a Major Role in Dragon Ball Daima
As the son of the Demon King, Dabura was destined to inherit the throne. However, he orchestrated his father’s downfall and claimed the title, possibly due to his greed and thirst for power. However, it is quite odd that Dabura never searched for the Third Eye, knowing full well how powerful that artifact is. It could be due to his arrogance, but this apparent plot hole could also mean that Dabura knew more about the artifact than what has been revealed.
The importance of the Third Eye has been teased since the very first episode ofDragon Ball Daima. While the true reach of the artifact’s power has yet to be revealed, it’s easy to imagine that it will play a major role in the resolution of the story, now that Goku and his friends have finally reached Gomah’s castle. Dabura perhaps knew about the possible drawbacks of using the Third Eye, and this secret may be what will cause Gomah’s downfall.
Dragon Ball Daimahas done a lot to expand on some aspects of the lore and some characters that had been barely touched upon duringDragon Ball Z.Daburaalways stood out as a cool villain with great potential that was dispatched too soon to make room for Majin Bu, so it’s really cool now for fans to imagine just how powerful he could have been if he had gotten his hands on the mysterious Third Eye.
