Majin Boo
, spelled Majin Buu in the Funimation anime dub and translated as Djinn-Boo in the Viz Media manga, is a fictional character and the final antagonist in the ''Dragon Ball'' manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He is introduced in chapter #460 first published in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' magazine on March 1, 1994.〔''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' #13 March 1, 1994〕 Majin Boo is a magical life form created by the evil warlock Bibbidi that terrorized galaxies by destroying entire planets, millions of years before the events of ''Dragon Ball'' take place. He was temporarily sealed away and brought to Earth, however, Bibbidi was killed and Boo remained hidden. During the series, he is revived by Bibbidi's son Bobbidi in order to carry on his father's plan to conquer the entire universe.
==Creation and design==
Toriyama stated that when creating a villain in ''Dragon Ball'', he would try to make them different from any that had come before. Although it was difficult and he was usually not entirely pleased with the results, he thinks he did achieve this with Majin Boo. The ''Shenlong Times'' issue #2, a bonus pamphlet given to some buyers of the ''Daizenshuu 2: Story Guide'' guidebook, says that Majin Boo was modeled after Toriyama's editor at the time, Fuyuto Takeda. Boo, Bibbidi and Bobbidi take their names from the song "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" in the Walt Disney movie ''Cinderella''.
Majin Boo has several different forms, each with a different appearance and personality, however, all are pink creatures with an antenna on their head and several holes/pores on both sides of their heads and on their arms. They have a rubbery body that can regenerate instantly from any wound, separate parts of it from themselves and control them independently, and can even completely restore themselves from vapor. Boo can also heal damaged beings, and can absorb other organisms by enveloping them with his body or eating them, the latter done by using his signature attack that turns people into food such as candy.
When first introduced he is overweight and wears gloves, boots, a vest and a cape. He is very naive and childlike, taking joy in fighting and scaring people. Throughout the series, he is always referred to by either Majin Boo or simply Boo, no matter what form he is in. However, each form has been given their own names in guidebooks, video games or by fans, in order to distinguish between them. When Boo expels the evil inside him, it takes on a taller and much skinnier, frail form referred to as . When this Boo absorbs the fat one, they become what is referred to as .〔 This form is much more muscular and he loses the vest and gloves, but now wears long-legged pants. Personality-wise, he is more intelligent than the other forms and is described as "pure rage". This intelligence allows him to plan ahead for the opportunity to absorb Gotenks and Piccolo, and later Gohan. After absorbing the first two, his antennae grows, he forms five full-fingers and wears the vest typical of all "fused" characters, when he absorbs Gohan, he wears his dōgi top and undershirt. The last form shown, referred to as ,〔 is actually Boo's original form. He appears when Gohan, Gotenks, Piccolo and the fat Boo are removed from his body. Appearance-wise, he is the same as the first Evil Majin Boo form only smaller, however he is the most reckless, living only to destroy and is called "evil incarnate." ''Daizenshuu 2: Story Guide'' refers to him as the "strongest enemy in the universe." Even after Pure Majin Boo is killed, the fat Majin Boo lives on Earth now completely-kindhearted and known as . In the anime, Boo's "Evil" and "Pure" forms' designs differ from the manga in that they both always have five fingers.
