It seems the mad lads behind Dragon Ball have done it. For weeks now, the team at Toei Animation has been teasing a big reveal, and Dragon Ball Daima fans thought they knew what to expect. It turns out the theories were spot on as a brand-new Majin Buu has ed the anime. Today, Dragon Ball Daima brought a new episode to life, and it brings Majin Kuu to center stage.

Yes, you heard right. Majin Kuu has been created, marking the arrival of Majin Buu's successor. The magical demon was created by none other than Dr. Arinsu and Marba the Great Witch. Majin Kuu's official debut comes courtesy of Dragon Ball Daima episode nine, and the episode ended before the new villain could do much of anything.

Dragon Ball Daima Is Keeping Majin Kuu's Details Under Wraps

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 Daima seems to be plotting a big Majin comeback, so you know Goku is in for some trouble with this newcomer.

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 in Dragon Ball even 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 ed 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 Daima promises 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, then Goku is in trouble.

The Majin race is quite expansive in Dragon Ball, but things narrow down when we look at characters who were created from the original Majin Buu. Games like Dragon Ball Heroes introduced 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 of Dragon Ball.

In Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu was 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.

Plus, Dragon Ball Daima makes it clear that Majin Kuu has 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.
