What If Dabura Had Fought Gohan, Vegeta, and Goku at the Same Time?

This Dragon Ball Z “what-if” scenario could have completely changed the Majin Buu Saga — possibly ending it before it truly began.

Introduction: The Demon King’s Missed Nightmare

During the Majin Buu Saga, Dabura — the Demon King — never faced the Z-Fighters at full force. Instead, he battled a rusty Super Saiyan 2 Gohan while Goku and Vegeta were forced to watch.

But imagine an alternate timeline where Babidi removes all restrictions.

Dabura vs Gohan, Vegeta, and Goku — all at once.

Dabura’s True Power Explained

Dabura was far from weak. In fact, Goku himself stated that Dabura was roughly equal to Perfect Cell in power.

• Cell-level raw strength
• Deadly demon magic
• Instant petrification via stone spit
• Master swordsman with high battle IQ

Dabura Ability Breakdown

The Z-Fighters at That Moment

At the time of this hypothetical battle, all three Saiyans had access to Super Saiyan 2.

How the Fight Would Play Out

Phase 1: Dabura’s Opening Move

Dabura would immediately attempt to remove one fighter using his stone spit — most likely targeting Gohan.

However, with Goku’s Instant Transmission and Vegeta’s battlefield awareness, this technique would be neutralized almost instantly.

Phase 2: Saiyan Coordination

Once teamwork begins, Dabura is overwhelmed:

• Vegeta dominates close combat
• Goku attacks from unpredictable angles
• Gohan applies raw SSJ2 pressure

Dabura’s magic becomes ineffective against three coordinated Super Saiyan 2 warriors.

Phase 3: The Finish

Estimated battle duration: under 5 minutes.

Would Majin Buu Ever Be Released?

This is the most important consequence.

If Dabura is defeated quickly:

• Babidi fails to collect enough energy
• Majin Vegeta never happens
• Majin Buu is never awakened

This single fight could have prevented the entire Buu Saga.

Final Verdict: Who Wins?

Dabura never stood a realistic chance.

• ❌ Outnumbered
• ❌ Outmatched in speed
• ❌ Magic countered by teamwork

Winner: Gohan, Vegeta & Goku (Low Difficulty)
