Fu is a major character in the Dragon Ball video games.
He is the artificial son of the demon Towa and her mother Mira. Initially appearing as an infant in Dragon Ball Online, he fully debuts in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and subsequently appears in Super Dragon Ball Heroes. Considered by Dabura to be his rightful successor as the King of Demon Realm, he later becomes a new Dark King with Towa's help.
While Fu is a deuteragonist (presented in a more neutral fashion) in Xenoverse 2, he is one of the main antagonists in Super Dragon Ball Heroes. He later becomes a full-on antagonist in Xenoverse 2's FUTURE SAGA.
He is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi in the Japanese version, and by Ricco Fajardo in the English dubbed version.
Personality[]
Xenoverse 2[]
In Xenoverse 2, Fu is portrayed as an intelligent young man who thoroughly enjoys science and tinkering with history. He doesn't make it a point to be confrontational in any way and will only act in self-defense. While his warping of history is a serious offense by Time Patrol laws, Fu says he isn't interested in how timelines change as long as he can get energy, but also expresses a dislike of evil, depressing timelines and believes they should be changed for the better and that people deserve to be happy. At the end of the Infinite History Saga, the Supreme Kai of Time considered Fu to just be a curious kid who is not good or evil.
While Dabura considered Fu to be the successor to his seat at the Demon Realm, Fu has no interest in such a title, nor is he interested in enacting revenge the way Dabura wanted to avenge Towa's death.
As the story progresses, however, Fu starts to get more and more reckless with his experiments and causes more direct problems with the Time Patrol, such as him attempting to save Bardock and Planet Vegeta from destruction by Frieza's hand (and hypocritically mocking Future Trunks for trying to stop him) and tricking the Time Patrol into changing history under the belief that they were fixing it. By the time of the FUTURE SAGA, Fu's recklessness has escalated to a point where his initial goal of preventing bleak timelines is unclear, as he goes as far as to help a variation of Zamasu become Goku Black, involving Gods of Destruction in his schemes, and even experimenting on himself.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes[]
Unlike his Xenoverse 2 counterpart, Fu in Heroes is a complete villain in every sense. While he retains the same curiosity and eagerness to change history, this Fu is more extreme and malevolent in his actions. He views anyone who, willingly or unwillingly participate in his experiments as mere pawns who only exist to provide him with the necessary energy for his desires. Due to how passionate he is with his experiments, Fu can get extremely angry if they are disrupted in any fashion, such as when he forcefully reverted Cumber's Great Ape transformation for merely breaking a chain link on the Prison Planet to impulsively fighting Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta out of pure rage for destroying his laboratory.
Much like his Xenoverse 2 counterpart, Fu has a penchant for watching others fight, especially if it contributes to his experiments. Despite this, Fu himself doesn't like to fight, but will if he has no choice, but also expresses that fighting helps him figure out what his roots are.
Appearance[]
Fu's skin complexion differs from either of his parents (being purple instead of blue). As an adolescent, he wears glasses and has his hair in a ponytail, while wearing modern clothing.
Biography[]
Background[]
Fu is created form the cells of both Towa and Mira, he's also the nephew of Dabura and Great Grandson of Mechikabura. He has inherited Mira's powers
Dragon Ball Online[]
He appears as an infant in the cancelled game; however it was stated that when he gets older, he will have a big influence on the world.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2[]
Fu first appears in the Infinite History Saga after revealing that he has been tampering with history, such as swapping roles with Chronoa with Demigra. Afterwards he talks to the Future Warrior and states his enjoyment of messing with the timelines.
The Future Warrior can choose whether or not to assist him in distorting the flow of time. Fu will mask his presence with only the protagonist being able to see and communicate with him.
After the Future Warrior defeats Dabura, the Demon King reveals that Fu is working alongside him and is gathering energy to make Fu stronger and to get revenge on the Time Patrollers for killing his sister Towa, but the young demon found bad futures too boring and betrays him to follow his own cause. Afterwards, he is confronted one final time (depending on the player's choice) and afterwards vanish to parts unknown.
The player can talk to Fu at the Time Nest and choose to repeat history, while becoming a selectable partner to correct the altered history.
Dragon Ball Heroes[]
In the manga of Dragon Ball Heroes: Prison Planet Saga, Fu imprisons Future Trunks (Super) to begin his experiments and is seen scheming with a Frieza Race member.
Powers and Abilities[]
Having inherited Mira's powers, it is stated that Fu will gradually unlock more of his dormant abilities as he grows older. He is also quite skilled in swordmanship.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2[]
Fu was able to knock away both Goku and Vegeta in their base forms (while acting as Whis). Fu later used his sword to easliy deflect Dabura's spit back to him and his illusion held its own against the Future Warrior in his place. Fu also has the ability to manipulate history (via summoning various fighters such as Android 13 and Tapion).
Dragon Ball Heroes[]
He is said to have incredible latent potential greater than Mechikabura's. In the Prison Planet Saga, Fu is able to evenly fight against Xeno Trunks in a sword duel, and disable Golden Great Ape Cumber.
Once he becomes the Dark King, his power grows to surpass Mechikabura's. Fu is capable of battling both Super Saiyan Blue Vegito, and Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker Xeno Vegito, although he begins to struggle against the latter due to not master the Dark Factor.
After merging with DogiDogi, Fu can simultaneously battle Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Gogeta and Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker Xeno Gogeta, and completely overpower them when using his full strength. Additionally, he is practically unscathed by the combined assault of Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Super Saiyan 4 Xeno Goku, and Time Power Unleashed Chronoa. His power is such that Hearts goes as far as to compare Fu to Zeno.
Once Fu absorbs the energy of the Universe Tree as well, his power increases even further, seemingly becoming the most powerful character in the franchise. He is only defeated once Goku hijacks the Universe Tree's energy and takes it to empower himself as well, and even then, it is unknown if he was killed or simply fled.
