The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time, we're looking at the brazenly blackhearted wizard Bibidi!

Long ago, around when Earthlings had just begun walking upright, there lived an evil wizard in the far reaches of the universe named Bibidi. His cunning personality matched only by his skill with magic, he is the father of the wizard Babidi and the supposed creator of the terrifying menace known as Majin Buu. Utilizing him to invade other planets, Bibidi is amused by the total destruction he causes, telling him, "Good work, Buu!", but has to frantically teleport away to avoid his indiscriminate attacks. "How dare you! I'm the one who created you, you stupid idiot!" scolds Bibidi angrily, but is only met with an intense glare from Buu.

They then invade the Supreme Kai's Realm. Having eliminated the North and South Supreme Kais, Bibidi delights as Buu utterly dominates the West Supreme Kai, remarking, "She's no match for you, is she? I'll bet you're bored silly!" But when Buu takes off on his own, Bibidi is at a total loss, fruitlessly insisting that he is "the one who decides what we're going to do around here!"

However, when Buu absorbs the Great Supreme Kai, a being with a kind and gentle temperament, he in turn transforms into a more peaceful version of himself. Bibidi manages to persuade this version of Buu to obey using his voracious appetite, suggesting, "From now on I'll feed you cake everyday if you obey me and do as I say?", which Buu readily agrees to.

After sealing Majin Buu temporarily in order to transport him to their next target, Earth, Bibidi is defeated by the East Supreme Kai, who had been lying in wait.

Upon uttering this phrase, he can instantly teleport, which he uses to avoid Buu's attack.
His son Babidi uses the same incantation for his own magic, although he incorporates a different pose.

Babidi
He has a sweet tooth for cake?!
When Buu tells him he's very hungry, Bibidi's first thought is of cake. For such an abhorrent wizard, it's surprising to think he may have a penchant for such sweet things. He even says, "Cake is the tastiest food in the Universe!", though this was for the sake of controlling Buu.
