Dabura gets his comeuppance

Dabura joins Babidi in a monitoring room and watches as first Vegeta easily kills Babidi's henchman Pui-Pui and Goku then destroys Yakon before he himself emerges to confront Gohan. At first the battle between them seems to be going relatively evenly; as it progresses though, Dabura takes notice of Vegeta's poor temperament and his one-track mind for settling things with Goku. Dabura then retreats from the fight with Gohan in order to inform Babidi and soon Vegeta is possessed.

With Vegeta now battling Goku, Dabura stands with Babidi to fight against Kaioshin and Gohan. Before they can start though, they are all shocked as the energy released in Vegeta and Goku's battle has already been enough to release Buu. When Buu emerges, Dabura is disappointed, as it seems the fat being is nothing more then a useless imbecile. Buu overhears this remark and attacks Dabura, quickly gouging him in the eyes and then kicking him into a mountain, leaving him broken. Dabura does manage to recover somewhat though, and throws a spear through Buu. He tries to convince Babidi that Buu is uncontrollable and should be contained again but Babidi will have none of it. Buu then retaliates against Dabura, turning him into a large cookie and eating him. This in turn reverts what he did Piccolo and Kuririn, restoring them to normal.
