It looks like Dragon Ball Daima is at it again, folks. The hit anime made its debut just months ago, but it has already managed to overhaul everything we know about Majin Buu. Not long ago, the show brought the villain's successor to life as two demons created Majin Kuu. And now, Dragon Ball Daima has dipped into the demon's well as it just brought another Majin to life. Majin Duu is here, and the villain promises to shake up even more of the anime's lore.
The latest reveal comes from Dragon Ball Daima episode 11 as the anime welcomed Majin Duu in a cliffhanger. Thanks to Dr. Arinsu and the Great Witch Marba, Majin Duu was created from little more than spit. As you can see further below, Majin Duu is already getting the royal treatment by Dragon Ball Daima with an official info card. And yes, the placard confirms the voice actor playing Majin Duu.
Majin Duu Is the Latest Successor to Majin Buu in Dragon Ball
What Is Next for the Majin Race?
Thanks to Toei Animation, we know Majin Duu is being played by Fukushi Ochiai. The voice actor penned a short letter to fans about his new gig, and it is fair to say Fukushi is very excited about ing Dragon Ball.
"It's a dream come true to finally be in Dragon Ball," the actor wrote. "As a child, I dreamed of being in the same world as Goku, fighting with or against him. When I got the role, I let out a shout of joy."
Dragon Ball Daima's New Villain Could Be the Anime's Best in Decades If They Evade One Trap
Dragon Ball Daima's all-new enemy, Majin Kuu, had a tumultuous entrance to the series, but still has the chance to become a great villain.
Clearly, Fukushi's dream came true as the actor will get to fight against Goku thanks to Majin Duu. The new demon looks similar to Majin Buu given his tubby appearance, but his coloring aligns with Majin Kuu. The green Majin is still a mystery to fans, but we know Dragon Ball Daima must have big plans for the villain. Dr. Arinsu is up to something evil, and her Majin creations will certainly play a major role in that plot.
With Two New Majin on Hand, Dragon Ball Daima Is Going All Out
Does the Anime Have Even More Demons On the Horizon?
Of course, Dragon Ball fans know very well that Majin Duu is just the latest Majin to appear in the anime. It wasn't long ago that Dragon Ball Daima brought Majin Kuu to life, after all. The demon was created as Dr. Arinsu met with Marba and convinced the Great Witch to help in her schemes. After all, it was Marba who created Majin Buu back in the day, and Dr. Arinsu has been a fan for ages. In fact, the devilish scientist revealed she was present during Majin Buu's final fight during Dragon Ball Z, and Arinsu managed to nab some of the demon's remains for safe keeping.
How Dragon Ball Daima's Biggest Threat Changes the Game for Goku
Majin Kuu's arrival in Dragon Ball Daima raises the stakes for Goku and his friends, especially with Dr. Arinsu pulling the strings.
Clearly, the scientist's efforts panned out as Dr. Arinsu has now created two new Majin foes. With help from Majin Buu's remains and some Saibaman seeds, Dragon Ball has found a reliable way to create new Majin. During Dragon Ball Z, it was hard to imagine more than one Majin Buu existing, but times have changed. The iconic villain now has two successors on hand, and given Dr. Arinsu's genius, it is easy to imagine a few more Majin coming to life down the line. For now, fans will just have to wait and see how the scientist's first two Majin stack up as Son Goku is making solid headway across the Demon Realm.
Dragon Ball Daima is now streaming on Crunchyroll in the United States.
