Biography

Background

BibidiandKidBuuEndOfEarth01

In the manga and anime, it is said that Bibidi created Majin Buu in his quest to dominate the universe.[3][4] However, in an interview with Akira Toriyama, it was revealed that Bibidi did not create Buu, who had existed since time immemorial (i.e. a very long time ago in the distant past) and that he merely knew the means of awakening Buu from his long slumber.[2] In Dragon Ball Daima, it is further explained that a powerful witch named Marba is the one who actually created Buu, per Bibidi's request, as he did not possess the ability to create a Majin.[5]

After Buu destroys Planet Alpha, Bibidi is almost (recklessly) killed by the monster, forcing the wizard to briefly fend him off. Bibidi then informs Buu that he is his "father" and proceeds to use his "creation" to eliminate most of the Supreme Kais ruling over the universe at the time, killing the West Supreme Kai and North Supreme Kai, and absorbing the South Supreme Kai.

When Majin Buu absorbs Grand Supreme Kai, resulting in the fat Majin with childlike innocence and the ability to speak, Bibidi is initially nonplussed at this development, but soon realizes that this version of Buu is more cooperative, swayed by the promise of food.[6]

As Buu still proves disobedient from time to time, Bibidi devises a magical seal to temporarily trap the monster. He rewards Buu with sweets when he behaves himself and reseals him in this magical ball when he becomes disobedient. Bibidi also uses the ball to control Buu while he is traveling between worlds. Bibidi eventually sends Buu inside his ball to Earth, his next target. However, before the sorcerer can reach Earth and release his monster, he is killed in battle by Shin.[7]

Though he was killed, he effectively lives on through Babidi, an offshoot created to aid him according to one source,[1] though his son according to others.

Trivia

  • Bibidi's along with Babidi and Buu's manga names are most likely references to the magic words the Fairy Godmother uses in the 1950 film Cinderella, "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".
  • Bibidi's voice and personality are the same as those of his Doppelgänger.
  • According to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama's addendums in the Full Color Comics series, Babidi is not Bibidi's "son" in a traditional sense. Rather, Babidi was a Doppelgänger created by Bibidi. Bibidi could create multiples of himself to accomplish tasks that would be too big for one person to handle, but each doppelganger was weaker the more were created (not unlike Tien's Multi-Form technique). However, with Bibidi having been killed, Babidi has the full power of the original wizard.
  • Toriyama stated in an interview that the "M" associated with Bibidi, Babidi, and Buu (and appearing on their clothing, or on their servants' foreheads) stands for the Japanese word Ma (魔, lit. "demon").[8] It, therefore, relates Bibidi and his work with the Demon Realm and with dark magic. The same character used for "demon" also appears in the Japanese name for Buu's race (魔人, Ma-jin, lit: "demon person").
