Information AboutBaby (dragon Ball) |
is a Fictional Character and major villain in Dragon Ball GT . He is an artificial Tsufurujin ('''Tuffle''' in the FUNimation dub) created to exact revenge upon the Saiyan s, the race that destroyed the Tsufuru-jin decades ago. He is voiced by Yusuke Numata in the original Japanese version, and by Mike McFarland in the English FUNimation dub. BIOGRAPHY See Also: Baby Saga Discovery Created as a "last resort" by the demented Tsufuru-jin machine-mutant Dr. Myū , Babby is a parasite who lives for nothing more than total annihilation of the Saiyan Race and dominance of the Universe. Babby is first seen by Goku , Pan and Trunks while they are on the planet M2, home of Dr. Myu. During the encounter, Babby is still confined to a tank of liquid, where he is completing his regeneration. Eventually, the process is complete, but the still-weak Babby proves to be no match whatsoever for Goku, Pan and Trunks, so he stows himself away in Dr. Myu's body while he escapes. Bursting his way out of Myu's body, Babby berates Myu for forgetting who the "true master" is, revealing that it was he who created Myu to revive him, and gave him the ability to create all the other Machine Mutants. Babby finds a Black Star Dragon Ball in Myu's brain, and plans a way to trap Goku, Pan and Trunks after failing to stop them from departing M2 inside General Rilldo's body. Babby then slaughters an entire space crew, and enters the body of a young alien boy and hides the Dragon Ball in order to trap the Saiyans. The plan works, and the Babby-alien is taken by the trio to a hospital on a different planet, where he escapes the body of the alien and enters that of a doctor. Seeing his chance, Babby catches Trunks alone and enters his body through a cut in Trunks' shoulder. Unfortunately for Babby, Trunks proves to have too strong a mind, and Babby is forced to leave Trunks' body. Being no match for the might of Goku, Pan and Trunks, Babby flees the planet and makes his way to Earth, seeking the remaining Saiyans. Invasion Upon going to Earth, Babby begins his rampage and first enters the body of Goten . Babby then challenges Gohan to a battle, in which Babby leaves Goten's body and enters Gohan's, but not before leaving an egg inside Goten's body, keeping him under Babby's control. Goten and Babby then seek the next Saiyan, Vegeta , and ultimately find him. Babby challenges Vegeta to a duel, and they fight evenly for a while until one of Babby's attacks cuts Vegeta's skin. Seeing his chance, Babby leaves Gohan's body and enters Vegeta's, thus becoming the insanely powerful Babby-Vegeta. Having by now brought the entire world's population under his control, Babby-Vegeta is later on stunned to be encountered by Goku, who had recently returned to Earth. Babby-Vegeta then reveals that he has placed everyone on Earth under his control, not knowing that there are still four inhabitants who are not: Pan , Good Buu , Mr. Satan and Uub . It is revealed that Trunks did not, in fact, force Babby out. Babby explains that the incident was an act, so that he could place an egg within Trunks to overtake him later. Goku then becomes super saiyan 3, and challenges Babby-Vegeta to combat. It's an even match, but Babby-Vegeta gains the upper hand when Goku reverts back to normal (it is explained that goku cannot hold a form any higher than super saiyan in his child form.), and by having the hypnotized Saiyans lend him enough energy for him to transform into his second form. With his new power, Babby-Vegeta easily topples Goku, and fires a Revenge Death Ball at him, after asking the people of the earth to give him the energy for the ball, and for him to transform into his final form. After the ensuing explosion, Goku is nowhere to be seen and presumed dead. Babby-Vegeta then decides to carry out the final phase of his plan: that of using the Black Star Dragon Balls to wish for the return of the Tsufuru home planet, Planet Plant (now dubbed by Babby as "Planet Tsufuru"), and to move everyone on Earth to the new Planet Tsufuru via spaceships. But after seeing Pan, Buu and Hercule intervene, Babby-Vegeta orders Gohan and Videl to execute the young Saiyan. Fortunately, she is rescued at the last minute by Uub, Goku's prized student. Uub and Babby-Vegeta then engage one another in mortal combat, and seem to be even. Gohan, Goten and Trunks come to Babby-Vegeta's aid, but Babby-Vegeta claims the he was merely ''playing'' with Uub, and blasts them aside for their lack of faith. Babby-Vegeta then fights Uub at his full potential, and moves in for the kill by firing a Revenge Death Ball at the young warrior. But unknown to Babby-Vegeta, who received a report from Bulma and left for Planet Vegeta, Uub survived thanks to the timely intervention of Buu. To his shock, Babby-Vegeta is confronted once again by Uub, only this time, a bulkier, Buu-dressed and lighter-skinned version of Uub (called Majuub in FUNimation's dub), the result of a metamorphosis fusion between Uub and Majin Buu . Babby-Vegeta then resumes the battle against Uub, and the two seem evenly matched, until Uub demonstrates his new power by turning a lot of hypnotized people into chocolate using a Henka Beam from his fingertip. Babby-Vegeta is then almost defeated when Uub fires a Henka Kamehameha at him. Babby-Vegeta, however, declares that he has had "enough playing", and exerts himself further, quickly pushing Uub's beam back at him, and turning the fighter into a harmless piece of chocolate and devouring him. Goku then returns to the battlefield. Having undergone a tail-regrowing process, Goku engages Babby-Vegeta in combat(it is said that because goku has grown a tail, he can hold all forms, even super saiyan 3, as a child.), but Babby-Vegeta still overpowers Goku(he is able to do this because of the two extra transformations he made after goku lost his energy during the first combat that they had. If he had not, they would still be even.), and moves in for the final blow when Goku undergoes a mysterious transformation by looking at the Earth. Babby-Vegeta witnesses Goku transform into a Golden Oozaru , but Babby-Vegeta still has the advantage, since Goku has lost control. Goku goes on a rampage and Babby-Vegeta is barely able to dodge Goku's attacks. Eventually, when Oozaru-Goku is confronted by Pan, he comes to his senses and transforms into a Super Saiyan 4 right before Babby-Vegeta's eyes. Babby-Vegeta and Goku resume their fight, and Babby-Vegeta sees that he is no match whatsoever for a Super Saiyan 4. In a desperation move, Bulma uses a Bruits Waves Device that transforms Babby-Vegeta into a Golden Oozaru. Although Babby-Vegeta's power has increased beyond that of his adversary, he goes into a blind rage, destroying much of his own city. Believing his enemy to have been reduced to a mindless monster, Goku prepares to take Babby-Vegeta to an uninhabited area, until Babby-Vegeta blindsides him with a ki blast; something he could not do if he was a mad beast. Babby-Vegeta reveals that he still has his mind, and his monster act was simply more of his playing. He then explains that, while Vegeta has become an ape, Babby is still in control. After swatting Goku away, Babby decides to further demonstrate his superior power by blasting the Saiyan with a series of devastating finger blasts. Because Goku manages to avoid these, Babby changes tactics, and attacks his family. Finally, Babby and Goku come to blows, leading the parasite to spite Goku further by blasting the Earth with an uncharged Super Galick Gun, which destroys much of Satan City in an explosion visible from Planet Tsufuru. In retaliation, Goku blasts Babby-Vegeta with a x10 Kamehameha, which seems to have no effect. While the initial blast may not have harmed Babby-Vegeta, it was a delayed blast, which catches Babby off-guard, and stops his attack. Eventually, Babby-Vegeta and Goku both land a knockout punch on each other and fall. But the mind controlled Bulma uses the Bruits Wave machine to replenish Babby's power, waking him up at the same time as Goku, and they resume the fight. Because Babby-Vegeta's energy was replenished and Goku's was not, he easily beats down Goku. Making matters worse, Goku's friends and family, freed from Babby's control, join the fight, and Babby begins to target them. Because Babby is aware of Goku's loss of energy which has caused him to be unable to use his abilities and power to the full, Goku's taunting and psychological tactics are useless, and Babby ignores him as he attacks the others. Finally, Babby prepares to wipe everyone out with a heavily charged Super Galick Gun. Unfortunately for the Tsufurujin parasite, Uub, who is still active inside Babby-Vegeta's body, powers up and attacks him from the inside, inflating his stomach, causing him great pain, and stopping him from unleashing the lethal blast. Babby-Vegeta tries to counter Uub's power, but finds himself unable to attack a man inside him, driving him to the point of spitting Majuub out of his mouth. Babby-Vegeta then sees the cured Trunks, Goten, Gohan and Pan giving their power to Super Saiyan 4 Goku. To stop them, Babby-Vegeta fires a super Galick Gun at the five saiyans. Although Pan, Trunks, Gohan and Goten are knocked out, Goku emerges unharmed from the explosion, renewed and prepared to resume the battle against the Tsufurujin parasite. Having been greatly weakened by Uub's earlier interior attack, Babby-Vegeta's power is now even with Goku's. However, due to his complete lack of focus, and ever-increasing rage, Babby-Vegeta finds himself unable to harm Super Saiyan 4 Goku, who ultimately takes his opportunity to chop Babby-Vegeta's tail off, reverting him to a beaten and battered Form 3 Babby-Vegeta. In a last ditch effort to escape alive, Babby leaves Vegeta's body and attempts to escape from Planet Tsufuru in his spaceship. To his shock, Babby's last sight is that of Super Saiyan 4 Goku firing a Super Kamehameha wave at Babby which carries him straight through the core of the sun, destroying the Tsufuru-jin Parasite for good. After Babby's demise, the Sacred Water at Kami's Lookout is used to cure all of Babby's victims. POWERS Babby can liquefy himself in order to enter his victim's bodies. As he grows, his liquidation ability becomes more advanced. Although he has some strength on his own, Babby requires a host body to display his full potential. It appears that when he has chosen a permanent host, he begins to alter the host's appearance to mirror his own (as is seen in the final form of Babby-Vegeta). As he gains more power through possession, Babby appears to "grow up". When he first appears, he's a skinless, mechanical infant. When he appears before Goten, he's a blue-skinned teenager, with facial markings and his standard outfit. When he escapes Vegeta's body, he's already fully grown into adulthood, with resemblance to his original appearance as Babby-Vegeta. He appears to have reached adulthood upon his first transformation as Babby-Vegeta, signified (in the Japanese version of Dragonball GT) by his voice becoming raspier. After possessing a host, Babby adds their power to his own. He can either choose to leave an egg in the victim after leaving them (removed in the FUNimation dub, and replaced with Babby leaving part of himself in the victim's brain), or suck them dry completely. He also gains the ability to assimilate all the attacks of those who he has possessed (all changed to his signature pink color), as well as developing new versions of his host's attacks (i.e. the Super Galick Gun). He can also emit a bright light from his eyes, similar to Tenshinhan 's Taiyoken. When he possessed Vegeta he was able to alter his body structure to the point where he was able to take an attack from a fully powered Super Saiyan 3 Goku without taking severe damage, if it all . During the fight with Vegeta, Babby (in Gohan 's body) and the egg-controlled Goten trapped Vegeta in a ball created by the two flying around him at high speeds. While in this ball, he seemed able to create ghost-like images of Gohan and Goten, both speaking with his voice. Babby, as the Golden Oozaru in Vegeta's body, was one of the most powerful characters in the Dragon Ball trilogy. During the final battle, he had far outpowered Goku at Super Saiyan 4, and had to be fought with psychological tactics, rather than brute force. At a fraction of his power (because he was in too much of a blind, bloodlust-fueled rage to properly control his power) his Super Galick Gun, uncharged, was able to do enough damage to the surface of the Earth to be visible from Planet Tsufuru, and, as Rou Dai Kaioshin (Elder Kai in the English version) feared, could destroy the planet if any charged attack from him hit the ground. Also, the expulsion of his aura during a power-up leveled much of his city, and even his screams could do considerable damage. SPECIAL ATTACKS
