Babidi

is an evil alien wizard and the son and/or clone of Bibidi.
Babidi is the main antagonist of the Babidi Saga and the secondary antagonist of the Majin Buu Saga.
==Personality==
Babidi is merciless, sadistic and darkly mirthful. He feels no remorse for eliminating anyone, even his most loyal followers, considering them fodder for his main plan. He kills those who outlive their usefulness simply to satisfy his sadism, showing that he only cares for his own life and no other. Indeed, the closest he ever showed remorse for killing his followers was when he realized he was premature in thinking he got enough energy to unleash Buu from his egg.
He finds great humour in using his powers to cause misery, bursting into wicked laughter at the pain of the innocent or otherwise. When facing someone weaker than himself, or when he is assisted by one of his much stronger followers, he will constantly mock his opponents and taunt them. He revelled in the thought of how Piccolo, Goten and Trunks would feel as innocent cities were destroyed due to their refusal to show themselves. Whenever under imminent threat, he is shown fleeing or panicking, revealing the true cowardice and defenselessness beneath his pretentious, self-entitled exterior.
He is obsessive, particularly about revenge; when Goku teleported away from his fight against Majin Buu, Babidi was enraged and ordered Buu to find and kill Goku and refused to let it go no matter what. He also commanded Buu to destroy city after city to get revenge on Piccolo, Goten and Trunks, who had only minorly inconvenienced his plans to that point. In Hell, he is among the many villains who are watching Buu and the Saiyans fight. He feigns pleasure at the other villains complimenting Buu's fighting, claiming to be his teacher. When he turns away, however, he wishes for Goku to defeat Buu, angry that Buu betrayed him.
In the uncut anime, he also at times demonstrates a more crass nature to his taunts, which was especially evident mere minutes before his death at the hands of Majin Buu, where he proceeded to flip off Goku in response to the latter referring to him as a "cowardly worm" as he was leaving. 
He is also extremely arrogant and hypocritical, as he failed to foresee the possibility of the seemingly dimwitted Buu betraying him, even ordering Buu to kill the loyal Dabura who tried to kill Buu upon realizing he was too powerful for his master to control and was a threat to everyone including Babidi himself. However, as a result, Babidi had no one to protect him from Majin Buu when Dabura's fears ultimately came true. Even after realising that Buu was becoming more assertive and less willing to obey him, Babidi continued to belittle and insult Buu, showing the true depth of his arrogance.
==Biography==
===Background===
In the Dragon Ball manga and anime, Babidi is said to be the son of Bibidi.Dragon Ball chapter 445, "The Terrible Mystery"Dragon Ball Z episode 219, "Energy Drain" In an interview with Akira Toriyama, it was instead said that Babidi is a doppelganger of Bibidi; whenever Bibidi needed assistance, he would split into multiple people and split his magical power between them. Babidi was one such doppelganger, and when Bibidi was killed, Babidi remained and inherited all of his original self's power.
At some point, Babidi created his own organization to aid in his quest to revive Majin Buu and take his revenge against the Supreme Kai, Shin, for killing his father. The wizard recruits his followers by using his magical power to seek out people from across the universe with evil hearts and using summoning magic to call them forth, before using Manipulation Sorcery to turn them into his loyal underlings. Babidi also created his spaceship and other devices through magic.
Babidi encountered and enslaved Dabura to his will. Per Daizenshuu 7, this happened at least 300 years prior to the series, as the demon king was under his control when they investigated in Earth in the year Age 474 and found no one with high power levels,Daizenshuu 7, 1996 while Dragon Ball Daima implied it happened shortly before the start of the Buu Saga.Dragon Ball Daima episode 1, "Conspiracy"
===Dragon Ball Z===
====World Tournament Saga====
Babidi travels to Earth with his minions in order to gather enough energy to revive his father's monstrous creation, Majin Buu. Somehow, Babidi figures out that Shin and Kibito have pursued him to Earth in order to thwart his plans. He manages to hide from the Supreme Kai pair by burying his spaceship underground. He also murders a nearby, innocent family (presumably to prevent anyone from learning of his ship's location). The evil wizard manages to find Majin Buu's ball and brings it inside of his ship. However, in order to revive Majin Buu after so many eons of imprisonment, Babidi needs to obtain a large amount of pure energy. In order to quickly gather a large amount of energy, Babidi sends two fighters under his spell, Yamu and Spopovich, to the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament to steal energy for Majin Buu from the other contestants.
Upon receiving the energy, Babidi no longer sees any further use for these two minions, and so he decides to destroy them. He commands another minion, Pui Pui, to shoot Yamu as he flees in terror, while Babidi with gleeful sadism tortures Spopovich to death by slowly expanding his inner energies, causing him to painfully swell like a balloon until he explodes. This sickening behavior defines Babidi's character: a sadistic and insecure man who compensates for his shortcomings by torturing and abusing beings more helpless than himself. He later regrets these hasty actions when he realizes that the energy supplied to him by Yamu and Spopovich (coming from Super Saiyan 2 Gohan) filled only half of the necessary power to bring Majin Buu back to his full potential. With this energy, Babidi was halfway to releasing Majin Buu from his Sealed Ball.
The evil wizard then realizes that he has been found by Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Kibito and Shin, the latter being responsible for his father's death. Determined to avenge his father, Babidi has his right-hand man Dabura turn Piccolo and Krillin into stone after killing Kibito, in order to lure Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Shin into his spaceship to drain their energy.
Babidi unleashes Pui Pui upon Vegeta, although to his shock, Pui Pui, one of Babidi's most capable soldiers, is destroyed by Vegeta with minimal effort. Babidi next sets Yakon, a powerful extraterrestrial who feeds on light and is feared across the universe, on Goku. However, this match ends when Yakon is tricked by Goku into eating so much light from his Super Saiyan form that he explodes. Finally, after seeing his second most-trusted minion fall so easily, Babidi orders Dabura to face Gohan, and watches the two fight evenly. Before long, however, Dabura realizes that there is evil potential within the onlooker Vegeta and sees the possibility for his master to exploit it. Dabura flees the battle to report this knowledge to Babidi, who in turn casts a spell on Vegeta, transforming him into Majin Vegeta. To Babidi's surprise, however, Majin Vegeta proves to be completely disobedient, intending to hone the potential unlocked by the wizard only in battle against Goku. Babidi eventually comes to terms with this development, understanding that the damage Majin Vegeta inflicts upon Goku can supply Majin Buu with energy sufficient for his revival.
Babidi and Dabura are later confronted by Gohan and Shin, just as the seal on the magical ball containing Majin Buu breaks.
====Majin Buu Saga====
Majin Buu is finally hatched in the form of an obese, childlike monster rather than a fearsome demon, which was what Babidi and Dabura were expecting. In addition, Buu just ignores Babidi for the most part, and it is only when Babidi makes an implied threat to reseal Buu inside his cocoon that Buu actually submits to him. However, after seeing the monster display his awesome power by taking out Dabura with a single hit, Babidi compliments Majin Buu's strength and gains his sympathy, no longer needing the vanquished Demon King. Babidi then sets Majin Buu upon Gohan and Shin, who he is close to killing, until Dabura recovers and vows to slay Majin Buu, hurling a spear at the Majin to no avail, with Buu simply pulling it out and regenerating. He also warns Babidi to reseal Majin Buu before it is too late, a suggestion which Babidi ignores. The heartless wizard then reveals to Dabura that he was nothing more than a pawn whose usefulness has run out. Majin Buu is pitted against Dabura, who is soon transformed into a cookie and devoured.
While a remorseful Majin Vegeta confronts Majin Buu, Babidi is confronted by the restored Piccolo (who, along with Krillin, was released from his petrified state after Dabura was slain), who swears to kill him. Babidi and Piccolo then have a short fight in the anime; Babidi uses magic against Piccolo, such as covering him in electrified slime and surrounding himself in a Wizard Barrier, but after using more strength, Piccolo overcomes Babidi's sorcery. As Piccolo begins to penetrate his barrier, Babidi pleads for his life, stating that, without him, Majin Buu would be completely uncontrollable and would kill everything in sight. Piccolo merely shouts, "That's not gonna happen even if you are alive, so it doesn't matter anymore!", and shatters the barrier, slicing Babidi horizontally in half. As the dismembered Babidi falls to the ground, he laments his untimely demise, having planned on living to rule the universe.
Barely alive, Babidi watches the fight between Majin Vegeta and Majin Buu, in which Majin Vegeta uses the Final Explosion technique to detonate both himself and Majin Buu. This attack proves to be in vain, and Majin Buu recovers. Reluctantly, Majin Buu goes to revitalize Babidi after being threatened with entrapment in his magical ball. Jumping on Majin Buu's back, Babidi then begins his global rampage, being unable to leave Earth due to Majin Vegeta having destroyed his spaceship. As it is soon revealed, Buu is barely controllable, and Babidi only manages to keep him under control with the threat of sealing him away.
After using Majin Buu to annihilate numerous cities (and their denizens), Babidi telepathically communicates with the Earth's population, demanding that Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo show themselves to the wizard. He forces Buu to kill more innocents in the hope that the continued carnage would lure them out. Eventually, Idasa tells his mother where Trunks lives, and she relays this information to Babidi; however, her obnoxious behavior annoys Babidi, who threatens to kill her if dares speak again. Aiming to destroy West City, Babidi and Majin Buu are confronted by Goku, who has come to stall them so that Trunks can retrieve the Dragon Radar in time. Babidi then unleashes Majin Buu on Goku, who displays his newly achieved Super Saiyan 3 transformation. Throughout the match, he constantly tries to avoid Goku and Majin Buu whenever they get too close to him, and he also continues to insult Buu harshly whenever Buu makes a mistake or begins to lose. Babidi watches Goku and Majin Buu fight evenly until Goku powers down and leaves, telling Buu and Babidi that a new, more potent fighter will be appearing in two days to fight against Buu, and not "a cowardly worm like Babidi." Goku even scolds Majin Buu for allowing himself, such a great fighter, to be ridiculously bossed about by Babidi. Babidi then proceeds to crudely insult Goku as the Saiyan leaves.
After Goku leaves, Babidi scolds Majin Buu for not killing Goku and viciously insults him. This, added to Goku's words to him, finally pushes Buu over the edge. Buu tells Babidi he has a secret to tell him. Babidi leans over and is grabbed by the throat and strangled, thus preventing him from reciting the incantation to reseal the monster. Buu then shatters his head with a single punch, proceeding to vaporize the headless corpse with a single Ki Blast. Majin Buu then celebrates Babidi's death and continues to cause chaos.
In the anime, Babidi is seen in Hell watching the fight between Goku and Kid Buu through a Crystal Ball along with ogres and fellow villains Frieza, Cell, King Cold, Dr. Gero, Appule, and the Ginyu Force. With the gathered villains wondering who Goku is fighting against, Babidi approaches, laughing and introducing Buu as his former protege and bragging that he taught the Majin everything he knew, though remarked he could have taught him better, earning the praise and shock of the villainous crowd. But as Babidi walks away behind a rock, he begins to grumble to himself furiously, expressing his hatred for Buu's disobedience, and starts cheering Goku on in secret. When seeing Goku's Super Spirit Bomb overpower Kid Buu, Babidi cheers as hard as possible, remarking that this must be what joy feels like (while in the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai, he expresses the hopelessness of his situation).

thumb|Babidi arguing with Super Buu in the JM5 Trailer for Dragon Ball Heroes
In the JM5 Trailer, Babidi can be seen arguing with Super Buu outside Babidi's spaceship when Beat, Note, & Vegito find them. When he sees the heroes, Babidi summons the Kings of Destruction, who are fighting evenly with the heroes until they are absorbed by Super Buu. However, the battle continues Inside Buu, where Vegeta and Goku perform the Fusion Dance to combat Giant Buu as Super Saiyan 2 Gogeta, due to Vegito's fusion timing out.
===Dragon Ball Legends===
After the Tournament of Power, Babidi is among those who end up brought to Age 780 to take part in the hyperdimensional Tournament of Time. 
Once again Babidi leads the Organization of Babidi with Dabura as his underling. He also manages to form alliances with Boujack and his Galaxy Soldiers, as well as Cooler and his Cooler Force. With Dabura acting as Babidi's agent, he seeks out tournament participants with powerful Kili. 
During Part 3, Dabura finds Super Saiyan Shallot fighting with some Android 19 units near Dr. Gero's Lab. Dabura uses his Stone Spit to petrify Android 19 before blasting the android as the Red Ribbon Android's artificial energy is unusable. However he is pleased to see Shallot has a large amount of Kili and prepares to harvest it. Unfortunately Zahha appears and uses his magic to dispel the effects of Stone Spit freeing Shallot. As Dabura has no intention of killing either of them due Zahha and Shallot both having a large amount of Kili, Dabura decides to retreat in the hope a better opportunity will present itself. 
Dabura's patience proves fruitful for Babidi, as he learns of New Cell and his desire to absorb Android 17 and Android 18. Dabura forges an alliance with New Cell, assisting him in absorbing the two Androids by killing Zahha's ally Piccolo (Fused With Kami) and using Stone Spit on Android 18. Thanks to Dabura's assistance, New Cell achieves his Perfect Form and Dabura suggests he host a new version of the Cell Games, the Super Cell Games which the Organization of Babidi can use to gather Kili from the participants. Dabura also allows New Cell to borrow Boujack and Cooler to act as his teammates as the Super Cell Games is a team battle royale. 
During the Super Cell Games in Part 4, Cooler is killed by New Cell for attempting to destroy the Earth with a Supernova during the Super Cell Games, Boujack though badly injured by Android 16's Last Resort, he survives to continue to aid Babidi. New Cell after becoming Perfect Cell through surviving near death, which he reveals was his main reason for hosting the games, is ultimately destroyed by Super Saiyan 2 Shallot and post-Cell Games Super Saiyan 2 Gohan (Youth) combined power. 
Meanwhile, Babidi is revealed to have been using the Dark Ki to control various fighters during the Tournament of Time, such as Raditz, Turles, Dr. Gero, and Ribrianne of the Kamikaze Fireballs. 
Additionally, he encounters the pre-Tournament of Power Kale whom he takes control over using the Dark Ki. However, Dabura notices that Caulifla has joined forces with Shallot though Babidi decides to use it to his advantage. Shallot also managed to free Ribrianne and she informs him of her encounter with Babidi. 
During Part 5 with the help of the Kamikaze Fireballs, Caulifla and Shallot manage to find Kale, though unfortunately she gets the wrong idea about Caulifla's relationship with Shallot, which Babidi uses to manipulate her into attacking Shallot. DRK Super Saiyan Kale (Rampaging) attacks Shallot as Babidi claims to be the Mastermind behind the Tournament of Time that Shallot as a member of Team Beerus has been seeking to identify as they are responsible for kidnapping Babidi's nemesis, Shin. Fortunately, Caulifla is able to break Babidi's hold on Kale and frees her of the Dark Ki. 
However, Babidi has another ace up his sleeve as he reveals that he has another familiar underling, Innocent Buu. 
Babidi has Innocent Buu confront Shallot and like his main timeline counterpart, Babidi decides Dabura has outlived his usefulness and allows Buu to kill him by turning him into a cookie and eating him. Shallot finds he is no match for Innocent Buu though manages to escape. 
Babidi sends Boujack, Zangya, and a group of Dark Ki empowered Combatants and Saibamen to attack the Capitol where Team Beerus is based. Fortunately, Super Saiyan Trunks (Youth) joins Shallot in holding off Babidi's underlings, and Shallot's student Cabba (who had been aiding Shallot & Zahha since Part 3 when they protected 17 & 18) gets teleported to the Capitol by Zahha's Locational Phasing Spell after they had a run in with Shallot's twin brother Giblet. Present Goku decides he should take Shallot to train inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber while Cabba and Trunks (Youth) decide to stay and protect the Capitol. 
Boujack, Zangya, and their underlings attack the Capitol, while DRK Team Dodoria confronts Team Bardock (Bardock, Fasha, & Tora), DRK Jeice & DRK Salza confront Caulifla & Kale, and DRK Team Zarbon confronts Goten (Kid) and Trunks (Kid). Babidi also takes the opportunity to telepathically taunt Beerus & Whis using the threat that he will kill Shin to mock the God of Destruction. However, he asks Beerus if he intends to win the tournament to use the Super Dragon Balls which Beerus makes note of.
Boujack ends up killing Zangya and his DRK underlings in an attempt to destroy Super Saiyan Full Power Cabba & SSJ Trunks (Youth), though they escape thanks to SSJFP Cabba. Enraged by Bojack's treatment of his own allies, Cabba achieves Super Saiyan 2. However, Boujack transforms into his Full Power form which he enhances further with Dark Ki supplied by Babidi. Shallot's allies do their best but are eventually defeated by Innocent Buu. 
Fortunately, Shallot completes his Hyperbolic Time Chamber training with Goku and kicks Buu away when he arrives to save his friends and student. Babidi however summons DRK Android 19s & DRK Android 20 to defend him, though Shallot defeats them effortlessly. Innocent Buu recovers and comes to Babidi's aid. Unfortunately for Babidi, Shallot had overcome the proverbial wall to achieve Super Saiyan 3. Babidi's reaction reveals he had come from a period before encountering Super Saiyan 3 Goku, as he is surprised by the form, noting it doesn't resemble any of the Super Saiyan forms he's seen (Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, & Kale's Legendary Super Saiyan forms). Super Saiyan 3 Shallot defeats Innocent Buu and blows him to smithereens. To make matters worse for Babidi, Beerus and Whis appear to confirm something before allowing Shallot to kill him. 
Beerus suspects that Babidi isn't the true Mastermind due to his remark regarding the Super Dragon Balls which are currently in their inert phase due to their previous use following the Tournament of Power, which Babidi should know if he were the true Mastermind as they told Beerus to make them the prize for winning the tournament. 
Babidi threatens to kill Shin to keep Beerus at bay, but the God of Destruction calls his bluff and dares him to kill the Supreme Kai, recognizing that if Babidi truly had Shin life in his hands, he wouldn't hesitate to kill his hated nemesis, especially considering it would mean he'd have nothing to fear from Beerus or Whis (who couldn't do anything to aid Shallot if Beerus died due to the Life Link). Realizing Babidi doesn't have the Supreme Kai, Beerus presses Babidi for information regarding how he knew about the life link, Shin's kidnapping, and the Dark Ki. Babidi says he doesn't know and when the subject of the Dark Ki is brought up, he reveals that he "made it his own" before wondering who created it. Eventually he produces the telltale aura of Dark Ki, confirming Beerus' suspicion that he was just another puppet of the true Mastermind. This is further confirmed when Giblet appears. Babidi recognizes Giblet as an ally and assumes he is there to rescue him, but Giblet proceeds to kill Babidi, noting he has outlived his usefulness. Giblet reveals that he has been working with the true Mastermind all along and that Babidi was just a puppet used to gather Kili, though since Beerus has figured out Babidi was just a puppet, he has become nothing but a liability. 
Eventually it is revealed that the true Mastermind was actually Zahha who had been acting as a double agent the whole time, as he was the one responsible for Shallot's amnesia and Giblet's genocidal DRK Saiyan in Red persona as like Babidi, Giblet was being manipulated via the Dark Ki (in addition to subtle manipulation as the illusionary phantom Mastermind which Zahha used before revealing his true colors following Super Saiyan God Shallot's defeat of DRK Super Saiyan God Giblet). It is also revealed that Babidi was collecting Kili to power the Omnificence Crystal, a prototype Super Dragon Ball which Zahha perfected by placing its two fragments inside Shallot and Giblet then have them fight in their Super Saiyan God forms. 
===What-if scenarios===
;Budokai Tenkaichi 2
In the what-if saga "Destined Rivals", Babidi briefly appear in a cutscene where Shin explains to Piccolo why he was on Earth before recruiting him to aid him in stopping Majin Buu. Babidi ends up killed when Goku and Vegeta destroys his spaceship while Babidi was still inside it.
==Power==
;Manga and Anime
Babidi is physically weak, even weaker than some everyday humans, but his true power lies in his incredible magical abilities. When he was expecting to have to fight Shin, he states that his magical energy is greater than his father's and believes that he can defeat the Supreme Kai in battle. He is able to construct energy barriers that can withstand partially being hit by attacks from Innocent Buu which could harm Majin Vegeta in his Super Saiyan 2 state. However, his attacks on the Super Namekian Piccolo proved to be nothing more than an annoyance and with effort Piccolo proceeded to break his barrier and easily slice him in half using just his arm.
;Statements by guidebooks and authors
Initially Babidi only possessed some of Bibidi's power, but gained all of it upon Bibidi's death.

He was brainwashed to gather energy from several warriors and even believed to be the creator of such technique. However, when Beerus confronted Babidi with his suspicions that Babidi wasn't the Mastermind, he stated that he "made it his own" before wondering who created it, as the brainwashing effected Babidi's memory.
Ultimately it is revealed that Shallot's mysterious ally Zahha was a double agent and is actually the true Mastermind responsible for the Tournament of Time, Shin's kidnapping, and Babidi's brainwashing.
