The trailer of Dragon Ball DAIMA was released some time back it gave us a sneak peek into the upcoming anime. While most people are excited about the return of the Z Warriors, few may have predicted the main antagonist of the anime. They think that the former Dragon Ball Z villain could return for a second stint with the Saiyans.

Dragon Ball DAIMA trailer featured a glimpse of Babidi and Majin Buu. It looked like some videos were being played in a realm resembling Hell, and two individuals were watching it. The fans deduced that the main antagonist could be someone from the Dragon Ball Z since the Buu Saga was being played. Most think it to be the King of the Demon Realm, Dabura.

Dabura had the highest power level recorded in the Dragon Ball Z. His power level was 4,000 Kili (1 Kili = 50,000 Power Levels). Demons have a different measure for power levels. If Dabura’s strength is to be calculated in normal terms, it would come to 200 million. Kid Buu and Jiren will most likely have more power levels than him, but their power levels were never mentioned, so Dabura remains the character with the highest recorded power level.

Since fans think that the realm in Dragon Ball DAIMA was Hell and there was Babidi’s video, people deduced that Dabura might return. He was not used to his utmost potential last time. Babidi controlled him, and after Majin Buu was revived, he ate Dabura. Thus, ending the King of Demon Realm’s brief appearance. So, it is most likely that he might return as a formidable foe in Dragon Ball DAIMA, as Akira Toriyama’s magnum opus has done with Golden Frieza and Cell Max.

The only fight that had Dabura in it was a brawl with Gohan during the World Tournament. Moreover, the Demon Realm remains an unexplored place for the fans. There could be many more mysteries surrounding that realm, which will surface if the fans’ prediction is correct.

Dragon Ball DAIMA will feature our beloved Z Warriors being reverted to their childhood days. The Goku, Vegeta, Chi Chi Bulma, etc., will become kids. It is still not known whether their power levels will decrease or not. From the trailer, it looked like some kind of magic spell which has made them younger. Dabura was a magician and a quite powerful one, too. Babidi also possessed this quality, so the prediction about these two returning has a strong foundation.

While the fans keep predicting the villains of Dragon Ball DAIMA, everything intersects at one point with the King of the Demon Realm. But these are all just fan theories. Until the official announcement comes, fans will not know about the antagonists. It will be interesting to see who takes the task of taking on the Z Warriors.
