Tomokazu Seki Will Voice The New Villain

Still, we have learned a bit about Majin Kuu from context and its casting. We know Majin Kuu was created from the leftover cells of Majin Buu during his fight with Goku way back when. Dr. Arinsu contained the DNA and brought it to Marba, the true creator of Majin Buu.Dragon Ball Daimaseems to beplotting a big Majin comeback,so you know Goku is in for some trouble with this newcomer.

Dragon Ball Daima Is Making Majin Buu the Anime’s Most Important Villain

Majin Buu has always been a big figure in Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Daima has just made him one of the most important villains in the entire anime.

As for Majin Kuu’s actor, Tomokazu Seki has been cast as the villain. The actor posted a short note confirming the new gig, so you can read his letter below:

“I always wanted to be inDragon Balleven before I became a voice actor. In my dreams, I would take part in a few auditions, but they all ended up failing. Now, I have finally passed an audition…My character is shrouded in mystery, so I hope everyone looks forward to seeing me in action.”

Dragon Ball Daima Is Taking The Majin Race Up A Notch

While we know little about Majin Kuu at present,Dragon Ball Daimapromises to follow up on the villain ASAP. The anime’s 10th episode is on the horizon, and its preview suggests Goku will find himself facing Majin Kuu before long. The showdown will give fans a better idea of what kind of power Majin Kuu has, but if he is anything like his predecessor, thenGoku is in trouble.

The Majin race is quite expansive inDragon Ball, but things narrow down when we look at characters who were created from the original Majin Buu. Games likeDragon Ball Heroesintroduced the world to characters like Nox and Android Majin, but their canon status is hardly firm. Majin Kuu stands apart from those additions as the newcomer is sitting firmly within the canon set by Akira Toriyama, the late creator ofDragon Ball.

InDragon Ball Z,Majin Buuwas a threat from the start, and his power only grew as his ego was inflamed. From Base Buu to Kid Buu, the foe was able to talk down all of Earth’s top warriors at one point. Goku was only able to destroy Kid Buu with a last-chance Spirit Bomb, and even that technique required the entire world to lend their energy. If Majin Kuu is an upgraded version of his predecessor, the Demon Realm is headed for calamity.

Dragon Ball Daima Is Ready to Remake Buu, But Is That For the Best?

Dragon Ball Daima is setting up to introduce an all-new version of Main Buu, keeping in line with the trend of bringing back its iconic villains.

Plus,Dragon Ball Daimamakes it clear that Majin Kuuhas some extras that Majin Buu did not. We know the newcomer was concocted with Majin Buu’s DNA and magic along with Saibamen residuals. The pesky foes may be nothing to guys like Goku, but for Yamcha, the Saibaman are a touchy subject. So if we were Goku, we’d keep our distance from Majin Kuu when it comes time to fight.
