Warning. If you haven’t yet seen the latest episode of Dragon Ball Daimaepisode eight, be warned we’re about to dive into serious spoiler territory. Dr. Anisu has been busy even before the demon lord Gomah turned Goku and company into miniaturized versions of themselves. Anisu appeared in a flashback to the Majin Buu Saga, collecting samples from the pink power pack during her battle with Majin Vegeta. Collecting the necessary DNA from Buu, Anisu has taken to the Great Witch Marba to create a wild new creature.

During a rather revealing conversation, Marba is revealed to be the one who created Majin Buu, change the idea that Bibidi was the one who brought the villain to life. Taking the cue from Majin Buu, Grand Witch has some cooking that could give viewers a new take on an old favorite. While Janemba never appeared outside of non-canon films and TV series, Daima may introduce Fusion Reborn villain to the Z-Fighters continuity.

FAMILY: Dragon Ball Daima changes Majin Buu’s origin story

Is Janemba’s arrival imminent?

For starters, Akira Toriyama having a non-canon villain become part of the main series is nothing new in the shonen series. The legendary Super Saiyan Broly is perhaps the best example of Dragon Ball creators who decide to take a popular character from Dragon Ball Z movies and make them a part of Goku’s life. Of the many antagonists introduced in the Dragon Ball Z Film list Janemba is one of the most popular along with the likes of Frieza’s brother Cooler, Goku’s doppelganger Turles and the Namekian antagonist Lord Slug.

In the twelfth film of Dragon Ball Z series, Fusion Reborn, Janemba is created in a rather interesting way. One of King Yama’s unnamed minions accidentally knocks into a machine that keeps the evil energy drained from countless afterlife denizens. Floating into the one goblin, Janemba is born in a manner similar to Majin Buu where he premieres as a non-threatening, larger-than-life creature only to evolve into a much more terrifying combatant. Janemba definitely has more than a few similarities to Buu but there are some key differences.

What if it’s not Janemba?

Speculation runs wild on social media like Dragon Ball fans are trying to figure out what Anisu’s new Majin might be. If it’s not Janemba specifically, many believe this will be “Cell Max” of Majin Buu fame, potentially creating a villain that could be referred to as “Nu Buu” or “Buu Two.” Regardless of what this antagonist ultimately turns out to be, the fact that it uses a piece of Majin Buu to bring it to life means it will be more than a match for the Z-Fighters in their current nervous state.
