Dragon Ball Z Villain Dabura Glares From This Original Production Cel

Published Wed, 27 Apr 2022 09:33:11 -0500

Dragon Ball Z is often seen as a set of four main sagas: the Saiyan Saga, the Frieza Saga, the Cell Saga, and the Buu Saga. Though there are sub-sagas that divide up the main four storylines, you'll notice how each of the main four is defined by a villain. Vegeta defines the Saiyan Saga, and the other three sagas are named for their villains. There are other villains throughout that don't get a full saga to support their time as baddies that are still very memorable. Perhaps the most powerful amongst them is Dabura, who came in at the start of the Buu Saga and was noted to be as strong as Cell. You can celebrate this underrated villain by bidding to own this original DBZ production cel.
