The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week, we're visiting one of the spookiest opponents Goku and his allies have ever faced: Miira Kun!
Miira Kun is a fighter in the employ of Uranai Baba.
On their quest to locate the final Dragon Ball, Goku and his allies request the fortunetelling services of Uranai Baba, but since they can't pay her super high prices, they have only one option left: face off against five of her fearsome warriors and somehow emerge victorious!
Miira Kun is the third of these warriors to block our heroes' path.
(Tale 101)
Miira Kun starts by facing off against Yamcha in Devil's Cesspool, a terrifying arena containing a lake filled with deadly acid and some imposing demonic statues. The mummified warrior proves to be deceptively speedy for his size and attempts to dunk Yamcha into the acid lake.
(Tale 101)
Yamcha barely scrambles back to the fighting area, to which Miira Kun responds "It's no fun to end the fight so soon." and even gives the Kame School warrior a chance to counterattack. Yamcha unleashes his trusty Roga Fufu-Ken (Wolf Fang Fist) technique, but his opponent easily evades the attack and unleashes a devastating knee strike as payback.
(Tale 102)
Yamcha manages to trip Miira Kun and it seems like the mummy man has taken a deadly dive into the acid... when suddenly he swings back up onto the battleground using his bandages!
(Tale 102)
Yamcha's underhanded tactics anger Miira Kun, and he menacingly states "Feh, you'll stoop to any trick, won't you? Well, I hope you're prepared to pay for it." The mummified madman then unleashes a barrage of attacks that ultimately force Yamcha to surrender the match.
(Tale 102)
Miira Kun's next opponent is Goku.
He fires off a full power strike at the boy, but it has no effect whatsoever! Goku then responds with a punch of his own that quickly puts the mummy down for the count.
(Tale 103)
"Dragon Ball" Tale 101
Beware... the " living hunk of jerky"?!
Uranai Baba introduces Miira Kun to his victi- err, "opponents", in a highly unique fashion: "That living hunk of jerky...the mummy!!!!"
