Janemba facts for kids

Janemba is a super strong villain from the Dragon Ball Z movies. He shows up in the twelfth movie of the series, called Fusion Reborn. He's one of the last big bad guys Goku and his friends have to face.

What Janemba Looks Like

Janemba first appears as a huge, round, yellow blob monster. He looks very big and puffy.

But when Goku hurts him a lot, Janemba changes! He becomes much smaller and thinner. This new form is called Super Janemba. He has red skin, purple armor, and a tail. He also has yellow eyes and a hat-like shape on his head.

Janemba's Story

Janemba wasn't always a monster. He used to be an ogre who worked for King Yemma in the Other World. King Yemma is in charge of judging souls. The ogre's job was to manage a machine that could bring dead people back to life.

One day, the machine broke down! This malfunction turned the ogre into the monster Janemba. At the same time, all the dead villains on Earth came back to life! They were led by Frieza.

While Hercule (Mr. Satan) tried to deal with the zombies on Earth, Goku and Pikkon went to stop Janemba. Janemba had trapped King Yemma inside his own palace!

Goku, Pikkon, and Janemba started fighting in the Other World. Goku fought hard and managed to hurt Janemba. This made Janemba change into his more powerful form, Super Janemba.

Super Janemba was incredibly strong. He easily beat Super Saiyan 3 Goku, Pikkon, and even Vegeta. Vegeta had been given his body back for a short time to help fight.

Eventually, Goku and Vegeta decided to use a special move called Fusion. This move combines two people into one super-powerful fighter. But something went wrong! They became a very fat and weak fusion named Veku. King Kai thought it was Vegeta's fault because he didn't do the dance correctly.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Hercule was doing a good job fighting the zombies. Frieza was teasing Gohan and Videl. He ordered his men to attack them. But Gohan easily defeated Frieza and his followers. This made all the remaining zombies disappear.

Back in the Other World, Goku and Vegeta unfused. They tried the Fusion dance again. This time, it worked perfectly! They became the mighty Super Gogeta. Super Gogeta quickly defeated Super Janemba and destroyed him for good.
