There have been many villains in theDragon Balluniverse, and each one is more formidable and unforgettable than the others. However, few have had the lasting impact and complex background of Dabura, the Demon King. InDragon Ball DAIMA, Toei Animation appears to be introducing a new villain to theDragon Balluniverse, but with one subtle and eerie detail, they’ve ensured that this new antagonist could never quite reach the same stature as Dabura.
As a ruler of the Demon Realm and a cunning, formidable warrior, Dabura’s influence extends beyond just his appearances in the Majin Buu arc, making him an impressive figure long after his departure. With Dabura’s legacy still casting a shadow over the Demon Realm, the new villain is bound to face the unique challenge of living up to an unspoken standard set by a universally loved and respected leader.
Dabura’s Legacy in the Third Demon World ofDragon Ball DAIMA
As the King of the First Demon World, Dabura became one of the most formidable and feared characters in theDragon Ballworld. Dabura ruled with a strategic, calculated mind that ensured devotion from those in the demon realms, unlike many of the series’ antagonists who were driven solely by malice or a desire for destruction.
His influence is even intact in the Third Demon World inDragon Ball DAIMA, where a statue has been constructed in his honor — a testament to the admiration and fear he inspired.
You can tell Dabura was really universally loved by a lot of people in the Demon realm.There’s literally a statue of him in the Third Demon World when he was the King of the First World.You can imagine how everyone felt when Babidi took him away from them.#DAIMApic.twitter.com/uTfqwfQfRv

I think he was the Supreme ruler of the demon realm meaning he ruled over all 3.
Most likely because he was the most powerful at the time
The real Mr. Satan lol.
Honestly it looks like he was basically the Hercule of demon realm but with actual power. That is straight up just one of Hercules poses.
This extent of honor sets him apart from villains like Frieza, Cell, or even Majin Buu, who commanded fear but lacked the loyalty of an entire realm. For the demons, it seems like Dabura wasn’t just a ruler; he was a figure they could rely on, one who symbolized the strength and unity of their realm.

Moreover, it implies the possibility that the demon populace may still see Dabura as their true king, casting doubt over whether a new leader will ever be able to surpass his influence. This serves as a subtle narrative device that immediately sets thenew villain GomahinDragon Ball DAIMAat a disadvantage, as they are forced to operate in the shadow of a beloved figure they may never surpass.
The Struggles ofDragon Ball DAIMA‘s New Antagonist May Face
InDragon Ball DAIMA,Toei Animationseems to have positioned the new villain, Demon King Gomah, in direct contrast to Dabura. Where Dabura was revered, feared, and followed, Gomah appears to lack the same gravitas and respect due to his arrogant, and self-centered persona. This contrast is emphasized by Dabura’s statue, which serves as an eerie reminder that the new villain does not command the same loyalty.
The repercussions of Babidi’s betrayal may not be limited to Dabura alone. Theentire Demon Realmmight have felt the effects of losing their king to an outsider, making any future leader’s job even more challenging. Babidi’s actions possibly left a lasting wound on the demon world, one that the new villain, Gomah, inDAIMAwill find difficult to heal or overlook.

Gomah is not just competing against Goku and his other allies inDragon Ball DAIMA; they are competing against the standard of influence Dabura created, a beloved figure whose legacy still lingers over the realm.
Dragon Ball DAIMAis currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
