Majin

The **Majin** ( *Majin*, lit. "Magical Person") are a race of magical beings. In *Dragon Ball Fusions*, they are considered part of the Offworlder race.

Majin have their first mention through Majin Ozotto on the cover of "Fathers", and a full debut via Majin Buu in "The Djinn Awakens?!", the 460th chapter of the *Dragon Ball* manga. They make their first anime appearance with the same character in "Buu is Hatched", the 232nd episode of *Dragon Ball Z*.

The most recognizable type of Majin are the Majin subspecies created by Mr. Buu and Miss Buu, though several other members of the Majin species who are not part of this subspecies appear throughout the series.

# Biography

The first member of this race known is the original Majin Buu, who has existed since time immemorial, cycling between rampages and long hibernation, and was summoned once again 5 million years before Age by the evil wizard Bibidi, who was mistakenly believed by Shin to have been the original Majin Buu's creator. The first Majin to appear was the Teapot Genie - who debuted in *Dr. Slump* - he defeated Arale but was defeated by the angered Tsukutsun Tsun. Additionally, another member of the race not known to be of relation to Buu named Majin Ozotto existed on the Green Planet until he was defeated by the Z Fighters in the lead up to the Cell Games.

In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*, one of the combatants inside Frieza's Spaceship will mention that he heard that the Majin Homeworld was destroyed along time ago.

In *Dragon Ball Online*, it is revealed that, in Age 790, Majin Buu created a female mate called Miss Buu for himself. This led them to start a family leading to the birth of their first child Baby Buu via the Love-Love Beam technique, and thus the dawn of the Majin race on Earth.

Majins run the theme park Boo World, which was created by Mister Bii in honor of Majin Buu. The park is divided into "Tasty Zone" and "Fun Zone".

In Age 1000, the Majins play significant role, and various classes of Majin can be chosen as playable characters in *Dragon Ball Online*.

— Lord Slug

In the *Xenoverse* series, both male and female Majins are shown to be members of the Time Patrol with several living in Toki Toki City in Age 850 and Conton City in Age 852. Interestingly, some of the Majin Time Patrollers do not seem to be fully aware of their race's history such as the creation of Miss Buu and development of the Love-Love Beam. In *Xenoverse 2*, Lord Slug is shown to be aware of the existence of Majin and their demonic nature having heard about all the planets destroyed by Majin Buu due to his association with various demons while leading his Demon clan indicating that Majin Buu is well-known among the universe's demonic races. However, Lord Slug does note that they are only considered true demons if they possess strong evil nature though due to their demonic origins are adept at utilizing demonic techniques. Cooler is also shown to be aware of the existence of Majin Buu as he had been warned about them by his father King Cold like he had with his brother, Frieza. Several comments made by various characters in the *Xenoverse* series implies that other Majins besides Kid Buu may have existed in the past. The race is noted to possess a natural affinity towards Magic and utilize Magic techniques such as Transfiguration Beam.

Due to a large Rift in Time forming around Majin Buu's House (rebuilt with clay not created from people) in Age 790 after Mira places a Distorted Time Egg nearby which Majin Buu picked up and kept after he had left. This rift timeline is separated from the original history and as a result a different iteration of the origin of the Majin in that timeline occurred. The Majin Future Warrior witnesses Majin Buu reading Bob & Margaret: Forbidden Games as he had in the original history. Mr. Satan notices what his friend reading when he asks about the word "lovey-dovey" which he doesn't recognize. Mr. Satan asks where he got it and Majin Buu informs him it is Mr. Satan's copy of the book as he found it in Mr. Satan's room. Mr. Satan knowing of the book's adult subject matter (as it is popular among men like Mr. Satan and Master Roshi though is known to be controversial due to its adult subject matter) tries to get him to stop reading it and give it back to him wanting to persevere his friend's innocence though Buu stubbornly refuses and Mr. Satan gives up realizing that Buu would probably learn about such things eventually. Buu continues to read the book extensively. Later the Future Warrior learns Buu was inspired by Mr. Satan's parental relationship with Videl and decides to create children via fission though needs lots of food to give him the energy necessary to perform fission. The maximum number of children he can create is 6 though if the Future Warrior is Majin this number increases to 10. The Time Patrol tried planting vegetables to feed to Buu but he ate them all up thus the Future Warrior must collect food from Conton City (or from the Namekian Farmer who grows Vegetables in the Guru's House rift and occasionally rewards them to the Future Warrior when they give him items to help him tend his field) to feed to Buu allowing him to create a child every time they max out his Fullness Meter. This results in the creation of the Majin family. The Future Warrior can give the children food and they will leave the house.

After they return they will give the warrior an item based on their color. Buu will be grateful to the warrior for helping him create his family showing them the Distorted Time Egg he found which they convince him to give to them and if they are a Majin help them unlock their Purification Awoken Skill that allows them to access their Pure Majin form. After all the Distorted Time Eggs are discovered, Chronoa decides to allow all the large rifts contained in Time Miniatures to remain allowing the Future Warrior and Time Patrollers to continue to visit the Majin family to interact with them when off duty. However, it should be noted due to it being separated from the original timeline the past of the Majin race Time Patrollers is not altered though it does create more confusion about their origins for those unfamiliar with the original history including some Majin themselves. However, one female Majin notes Mr. Satan had a big impact in their race's history due to his role in the creation of Good Buu through his friendship with Innocent Buu (as apparently the role of his copy of Bob & Margaret in Majin history is not common knowledge presumably due to its controversial nature and subject matter as one female Majin was curious as to what it was about ignorant of its adult subject matter) which may explain why he is still respected among most Time Patrollers despite knowledge of his true strength and history being known to the Time Patrol as his ability to befriend and tame a legendary demon like Majin Buu is impressive in and of itself.

— Beerus' assertion that he is older than the Majin in *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*

Additionally, Beerus asserts that he himself is far older than the Majin and apparently views the Majin Future Warrior and presumably all Majin in general to simply be incarnations of the original Majin Buu. This would imply that Beerus and Champa (who are twins) are as old if not older than the original Majin Buu. Hit also notes that he heard the Majin are ancient beings and is surprised they actually exist. It is unclear if this means other Majin existed in the past or if he is simply referencing the fact that Majin Buu is an ancient being thus by extension so are the Majin as they are one of the oldest known races in existence due to Majin Buu existing since time immemorial even though them truly becoming a race occurred in more recent times. Additionally Majin Buu's ability to use Cloning technique and his absorption ability may have been responsible for myths that their was a race in the past as Majin Buu's absorptions may have been seen as different individuals to those unaware of the absorption and clones could have been mistake as identical siblings causing people unfamiliar with Majin Buu to assume their may be a race of Majin back when their wasn't one as Majin Buu is a legendary monster and like Yamoshi many myths about him likely came about and his origins became distorted through the ages as Shin mistakenly believed Bibidi created Kid Buu around 5 Million Before Age.

In *Dragon Ball Fusions*, Majins are classified as part of one *Offworlder* races along with Core Person and Demons. Tekka can be customized to be a Majin of an unknown origin if Offworlder is selected as their race at the beginning of the game and certain hair options are selected. If another race is chosen, Tekka can later use the Dragon Balls to make a wish to change their race into to an Majin Offworlder of either gender. Tekka can also encounter various Majins inside the Timespace Rift. The origins of some of these Majins is unclear due to the nature of the Timespace Rift as a world where different timelines intersect. As a result, Majin from various timelines are shown such as Ratopa, a Majin once served as a Supreme Kai. The game also introduces Majin-based EX-Fusions such as Majin Satan and Janenbu.

In *Dragon Ball FighterZ*, it is revealed that Dr. Gero's Supercomputer somehow acquired Majin Buu's cells though Gohan suggests they likely did not come from Kid Buu himself as he would have survived his destruction in Age 774 if any cells survived via collection due to how strong his regeneration is indicating they likely came from Good Buu who is still alive. Regardless, the computer managed to somehow incorporate Majin DNA into Android 21 a Bio-Android created from the human mother of Dr. Gero's son a deceased Red Ribbon Army soldier killed by an enemy bullet whom was used by Gero as the template for the Mechanical Type Android 16. In addition to Majin DNA, 21 possessed cells from countless warriors including Frieza, the Z Fighters, Cell, as well as countless scientists. It is implied her Majin cells are dominant as she has primarily Majin traits in her True Form such as clothing, pink skin, mimicry, and ability to turn people into food though she has pointy Namekian like ears, white hair, and a Frieza Race-like tail. However, some of her cells went out of control which are strongly implied to be her Majin cells as the Clone Buus she eventually created are all Pure Majin clones of Kid Buu which possess the personality of the original instead of being mindless drones indicating that Majin cells are inherently difficult if not impossible to control making them dangerous to utilize in genetic engineering.

As result, she developed an insatiable appetite that drives her to turn people into food to absorb their power and an evil split personality that gave into her desire to feed while her original good personality resisted said urges. She created clones of the Z Fighters to use as a army and makeshift food source though prepared to consume the originals after having revived Frieza, Cell, Ginyu Force, and Nappa whom had also been cloned. Due to her appetite, she became more destructive as her sanity deteriorated the hungrier she becomes resembling the original Majin Buu though she retained her intelligence. She is also capable of fission like Majin Buu as she split into her good and evil halves due to the anguish and guilt her good side felt over the death of the rebuilt Android 16 whom was killed when she lost control of her cravings after protecting her fellow Androids from Cell. These fissions are not life linked indicating her fission is Majin based rather than Namekian. However, despite suppressing her cravings the Good 21 feared she would one day lose control as well and chose to die with her evil counterpart to protect her newfound friends. Goku decided to ask King Yemma to have her reincarnated as he had with Kid Buu. The Kid Buu clones are all destroyed as well leaving Good Buu the only remaining Majin for the time being.

# Buu's subspecies

### Appearance

They appear to be gum-like humanoids with various skin tones and antenna on their heads.

#### Body manipulation

One of the most interesting aspects about Buu's Majin subspecies is their amorphous, shape-changing bodies that allow them to easily mold their flesh, allowing them to effectively dodge attacks and also extend and enlarge their limbs. In *Dragon Ball Online*, *Dragon Ball Xenoverse*, and *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2* though Majins lack hair they are shown to sport their antenna and the body tissue on their head in ways resembling hairstyles. The ability to absorb appears to be unique to Majin Buu, as no other Majin has ever displayed this trait, additionally, unlike the original Majin Buu, regular Majins are not immortal and can age. In the *Dragon Ball Xenoverse* series, Majins are shown to be capable of regeneration.

However, artificially created Majin such as Android 21 and the Kid Buu Clones in *FighterZ* are capable of a form of absorption as Kid Buu Clones can absorb other clones to increase their power though their appearance remains the same as they apparently absorb only their power while Android 21 can absorb abilities by absorbing energy Connoisseur Cut and can consume others to absorb them as can Android 21 (Evil) though when her evil counterpart absorbed Cell her skin color changed and she gained spots like Cell's which is the only time any of Android 21's absorptions actually result in a physical change though her personality remained the same.

Each version of Majin Buu that appeared in the original manga had a different type of morphing ability: The fat Majin Buu's round, fat body aided his defense and allowed him to inflate and regenerate dismembered parts of his body like a balloon; Evil Buu's ability appeared to be stretching and becoming very lengthy; Super Buu could liquify himself, mentally control detached parts of his body, absorb enemies, and much of everything else Majin Buu and Evil Buu could do. Kid Buu, as well as Majin Buu, showed the ability to split themselves into numerous copies. Innocent Buu, Good Buu, and male Majin in *Xenoverse 2* can use body manipulation to use their gum-like flesh as a weapon to ensnare and restrain enemies leaving them open to attack. Kid Buu is also known to rip off his arm to attack opponents with it, fitting his unpredictable fighting style and taking full advantage of his regeneration and body manipulation abilities. Innocent Buu and Good Buu also have demonstrated the ability to alter their facial features such as when Innocent Buu made his face resemble actor Barry Kahn while trying to impress a terrified female Earthling during his rampage following his murder of Babidi. Good Buu uses this same ability to briefly alter his face in *Dragon Ball GT* showing he retained this ability following his fusion.

Super Buu's absorption allows him to take on the similar facial features, clothing, and the techniques of his most dominantly powerful absorbed victims. The fat Majin Buu is another product of absorption that wears clothing as a result of Kid Buu's absorption of Daikaioh. Interestingly, Kid Buu did not gain any of South Supreme Kai's clothing as only his physique was altered. Evil Buu wore clothing similar to Innocent Buu while Good Buu inherited the same clothing as Innocent Buu though this due to them both being fissions of Innocent Buu. In *Xenoverse 2*, each member of the Majin family created via fission is born as miniature fat Majins wearing various styles of clothing and accessories such as hats and even Scouters. Good Buu has some control over his fission's appearance as Miss Buu was created using ideas on feminine attributes from reading Bob & Margaret thus his fission offspring's differences in appearance may be based upon how he envisioned each child. Some Majin in the *Xenoverse* series refer to fissions as clones indicating it is generally considered a form of cloning among some Majin.

In *Xenoverse 2*, it is implied by male Majin Time Patroller Bentora that their malleable Majin physiology allows Majin to survive being crushed by intense gravity if said Majin is unaccustomed to it as Bentora notes he was squished as flat as a pancake when he accidentally entered Vegeta's gravity training room while investigating the Capsule Corporation time rift, though he survived the ordeal and apparently managed to use body manipulation revert back to normal once he was back in normal Earth gravity. Vegeta notes that Conton City has a gravity similar to Earth as Planet Vegeta's gravity is ten times greater than Conton City's indicating that Majin living in Conton City are accustomed to the same level of gravity as Earth thus explaining why Bentora was negatively effected as he was apparently unaccustomed to such intense gravity. However this can be advantageous as Majin can endure higher gravity levels that would be potential lethal to other race that are unaccustomed to it as the intense gravity will only flatten a Majin's malleable bodies should they encounter a level of gravity their body is not accustomed to or ready to handle. However, Bentora was apparently frightened by the experience of being flattened in such a manner indicating it is an uncomfortable experience for Majin. Majin Time Patroller Kunel decides to try take advantage of her malleable body after finding dieting difficult performing to try and simply alter her appearance to give herself the perfect body but unfortunately she is unhappy with the results, though ultimately it helps her realize she is comfortable with her original appearance.

In *FighterZ*, Gohan surmises it is unlikely that the Kid Buu Clones were created from the deceased and currently reincarnated Kid Buu's cells as he would have regenerated were that the case, indicating the cells likely came from Good Buu who's cells contain Kid Buu's power and genetic legacy which can be accessed by Good Buu's Majin descendants through the Pure Majin form. Majin cells are also apparently difficult if not impossible to control artificially making them dangerous to use in genetic engineering as exemplified by Android 21 and the Clone Buus.

#### Skin color

Traditionally, Buu's Majin subspecies were one standard color (pink) until the appearance of Evil Buu: a manifestation of Buu's dispelled evil. However, this can be explained by the fact that Evil Buu was dispelled entirely from Majin Buu's body, and was not the traditional type of Majin (rather than Kid Buu, or Miss Buu and other female Majin reproduce in *Dragon Ball Online*; resulting in pink Majin). In *Dragon Ball Online*, *Xenoverse*, and *Xenoverse 2*, during character creation, Majin can be various colors such as red, yellow, green, and blue. Some Time Breaker Majin are a similar color to Evil Buu. In *Xenoverse 2*, Majin Buu's fission produced offspring can have either Red/Pink, Blue, or Yellow skin and their skin color can change if the Future Warrior gives one food five times (the Future Warrior can halt the process by telling them to *Calm Down* when they start to change color). The child's skin color determines which type of items they will bring back from their walk after being given food (Red/Pink for Super Souls, Blue for healing items, and Yellow for clothing). Also in *Xenoverse 2*, Majins retain their selected skin color when reverting to their Pure Majin form.
