Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #34: Dabura!
Dabura
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time we're graced by the dark presence of Dabura!
Story
Dabura—the King of the Demon Realm.
Under the influence of Babidi's magic, he became the wizard's right-hand man and assisted him in orchestrating Majin Buu's resurrection.
Upon discovering Kibito performing reconnaissance on Babidi's spaceship with the others, Dabura mercilessly disposed of him. He then went on to confront Krillin and Piccolo and petrified them with his deadly spit.
(Tale 446)
In order to gather the remaining energy required to revive Majin Buu, Dabura lured Goku and the others into Babidi's spaceship.
Inside, the would-be assassins Puipui and Yakon were swiftly disposed of by our heroes, leading Dabura to step into the ring himself.
As Dabura begins to take control of his battle against Gohan, Vegeta's frustration grows. Sensing an opportunity to use Vegeta's spiraling emotions to make an ally of the Saiyan, Dabura consults with Babidi.
Babidi and Dabura were undoubtedly successful in resurrecting Majin Buu with the energy they gathered from Goku and his allies, but Dabura deemed the operation a failure on account of the Majin not paying proper heed to his master's orders. Enraged by Dabura's cutting words, Majin Buu blinds him with a vicious eye gouge and kicks him away.
Dabura comes to believe that Majin Buu will inevitably bring about Babidi's demise, leaving him with no choice but to take him down—which he attempts to do by tossing a spear through his chest!
However, this has little effect against Majin Buu's nigh-indestructible body, and Buu retaliates by cookie-fying the demon king and eating him whole.
First Appearance

Trivia
An afterlife spent in heaven!
After being devoured by Majin Buu, Dabura finds his fate at the mercy of Lord Enma, who, realizing that the King of the Demon Realm would like nothing more than a one-way ticket to hell, sends him straight to heaven!
