'''Bebi''' (FUNimation's dub: '''Baby''') is a [[fictional character]] and major villain in the [[anime]] [[Dragon Ball GT]]. He is an artificial '''Tsufuru-jin''' ('''Tuffle''' in the English dub) created to exact revenge upon the Saiyans, the race that destroyed the Tsufuru-jin decades ago. Bebi was one of the few DBGT characters to be designed by [[Akira Toriyama]].

He is voiced by [[Yusuke Numata]] in the original Japanese version, and by [[Mike McFarland]] in the English FUNimation dub.

==Biography==

{{main|Bebi Saga}}

===Discovery===

[[Image:Baby2.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Bebi's second form]]

Created as a "last resort" by the demented Tuffle machine-mutant [[Dr. Myuu]], Bebi is a parasite who lives for nothing more that total annihilation of the Saiyan Race and dominance of the Universe. Bebi is first seen by [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Goku]], [[Pan (Dragon Ball)|Pan]] and [[Chibi Trunks|Trunks]] while they are on the planet M2, home of Dr. Myu. During the encounter, Bebi is still confined to a tank of liquid, where he is completing his regeneration. Eventually, the process is complete, but the still-weak Bebi proves to be no match whatsoever for Goku, Pan and Trunks, so he stows himself away in Dr. Myu's body while he escapes.

Bursting his way out of Myu's body, Bebi finds a Black Star Dragon Ball in Myu's brain, and plans a way to trap Goku, Pan and Trunks after failing to stop them departing M2 inside General Rilldo's body. Bebi then slaughters an entire space crew, and enters the body of a young alien boy and hides the Dragon Ball in order to trap the Saiyans. The plan works, and the Bebi-alien is taken by the trio to a hospital on a different planet, where he escapes the body of the alien and enters that of a doctor. Seeing his chance, Bebi catches Trunks alone and enters his body through a cut in Trunks' shoulder. Unfortunately for Bebi, Trunks proves to have too strong a mind, and Bebi is forced to leave Trunks' body. Being no match for the might of Goku, Pan and Trunks, Bebi flees the planet and makes his way to Earth, seeking the remaining Saiyans.

===Invasion===

[[Image:BabyVegeta1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Bebi-Vegeta, in his Base form]]

Upon arriving on Earth, Bebi begins his rampage and first enters the body of [[Son Goten|Goten]]. Bebi then challenges [[Son Gohan|Gohan]] to a battle, in which Bebi leaves Goten's body and enters Gohan's, but not before leaving an egg inside Goten's body, keeping him under Bebi's control. Goten and Bebi then seek the next Saiyan, [[Vegeta]], and ultimately find him. Bebi challenges Vegeta to a duel, and they fight evenly for a while until one of Bebi's attacks cuts Vegeta's skin. Seeing his chance, Bebi leaves Gohan's body and enters Vegeta's, thus becoming the insanely powerful '''Bebi-Vegeta'''.

Having by now brought the entire world's population under his control, Bebi-Vegeta is later on stunned to be encountered by Goku, who had recently returned to Earth. Bebi-Vegeta then reveals that he has placed everyone on Earth under his control, not knowing that there are still four inhabitants who aren't: Pan, [[Majin Buu|Fat Buu]], [[Hercule (Dragon Ball)|Hercule]] and [[Uub (Dragon Ball)|Uub]]. This includes Trunks, who did not, in fact, force Bebi out. Bebi reveals the incident to have been an act, so that he could place an egg within Trunks to overtake him later. Goku then challenges Bebi-Vegeta to combat, but Bebi-Vegeta gains the upper hand by having the hypnotized Saiyans lend him enough energy for him to transform into his final form. With his new power, Bebi-Vegeta easily topples Goku, and fires a large ball of energy at him. After the ensuing explosion, Goku is nowhere to be seen and presumed dead.

[[Image:BabyVegeta.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Bebi-Vegeta's third form]]

Bebi-Vegeta then decides to carry out the final phase of his plan: that of using the Black Star Dragon Balls to wish for the return of the Tuffle home planet, Planet Tuffle, and to move everyone on Earth to the new Planet Tuffle via spaceships. But after seeing Pan, Buu and Hercule intervene, Bebi-Vegeta orders Gohan and [[Videl]] to execute the young Saiyan. Fortunately, she is rescued at the last minute by Uub, Goku's prized student.

===Battling the New Majin Buu===

Uub and Bebi-Vegeta then engage one another in mortal combat, and seem to be even. Gohan, Goten and Trunks come to Bebi-Vegeta's aid, but Bebi-Vegeta claims the he was merely ''playing'' with Uub, and blasts them aside for their lack of faith. Bebi-Vegeta then fights Uub at his full potential, and moves in for the kill by firing a Revenge Death Ball at the young warrior. But unknown to Bebi-Vegeta, who received a report from [[Bulma]] and left for Planet Vegeta, Uub survived thanks to the timely intervention of Buu.

[[Image:BabyMajuub.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Bebi-Vegeta Vs. Majuub]]

To his shock, Bebi-Vegeta is confronted once again by Uub, only this time, a bulkier, Buu-dressed and ligher-skinned version of Uub: '''[[Uub (Dragon Ball)|Majuub]]''', the result of a metamorphosis fusion between Uub and Buu. Bebi-Vegeta then resumes the battle against Majuub, and the two seem evenly matched, until Majuub demonstrates his new power by turning a lot of hypnotized people in to chocolate using a Henka Beam from his fingertip. Bebi-Vegeta is then almost defeated when Majuub fires a super Henka Kamehameha at him. Bebi-Vegeta, however, declares that he's had "enough playing", and exerts himself further, quickly pushing Majuub's beam back at him, and turning the New Majin Buu into a harmless piece of chocolate and devouring him, just as Goku returns to the battlefield.

===The Tables Turn===

Having undergone a tail-regrowing process, Goku engages Bebi-Vegeta in combat, but Bebi-Vegeta still overpowers the young saiyan, and moves in for the final blow when Goku undergoes a mysterious transformation by looking at the Earth. To his horror, Bebi-Vegeta witnesses Goku transform into a [[Golden Oozaru]], but Bebi-Vegeta still has the advantage, since Goku has lost control. Goku goes on a rampage and Bebi-Vegeta is barely able to dodge Goku's every attack.

[[Image:BabySS4.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Bebi-Vegeta vs. Super Saiyan 4 Goku]]

Eventually, when Oozaru-Goku is confronted by Pan, he comes to his senses and transforms into a Super Saiyan 4 right before Bebi-Vegeta's eyes. Bebi-Vegeta and Goku resume their fight, and Bebi-Vegeta is horrified to see that he is no match whatsoever for a Super Saiyan 4. In a desperation move, Bulma uses a Bruits Waves Device that transforms Bebi-Vegeta into a Golden Oozaru. Although Bebi-Vegeta's power has increased beyond that of his adversary, he goes into a blind rage, destroying much of his own city. Believing his enemy to have been reduced to a mindless monster, Goku prepares to take Bebi-Vegeta to an uninhabited area, until Bebi-Vegeta blindsides him with a ki blast; something he couldn't do if he was a mad beast.

Bebi-Vegeta reveals that he still has his mind, and his monster act was simply more of his playing. He then explains that, while Vegeta has become an ape, Bebi is still in control (this dialogue was removed in the English dub, replacing it with Bebi explaining why his mouth doesn't move when he talks). After swatting Goku away, Bebi decides to further demonstrate his superior power by blasting the Saiyan with a series of devastating finger blasts. Because Goku manages to avoid these, Bebi changes tactics, and attacks his family. Finally, Bebi and Goku come to blows, leading the parasite to spite Goku further by blasting the Earth with an uncharged Super Galick Gun, which destroys much of Satan City in an explosion visible from Planet Tsufuru. In retaliation, Goku blasts Bebi-Vegeta with a x10 Kamaehamaeha, which seems to have no effect.

While the initial blast may not have harmed Bebi-Vegeta, the after-effect of the attack did, which catches Bebi off-guard, and stops his attack. Eventually, Bebi-Vegeta and Goku both land a knockout punch on each other and fall. But Bebi-Vegeta wakes up at the same time as Goku, and they resume the fight, in which the tables seem to have turned in favour of Bebi-Vegeta.

===Bebi Meets his End===

[[Image:Bebi_Vegeta_(Ogon_Oozaru).jpg|thumb|right|150px|Golden Oozaru Bebi-Vegeta]]

Finally, Bebi prepares to wipe everyone out with a heavily charged Super Galick Gun. Unfortunately for the Tuffle parasite, Majuub, who is still active inside Bebi-Vegeta's body, powers up and attacks him from the inside, inflating his stomach, causing him great pain, and stopping him from unleashing the lethal blast. Bebi-Vegeta tries to counter Majuub's power, but finds himself unable to attack a man inside him, driving him to the point of spitting Majuub out of his mouth. Bebi-Vegeta then sees the cured Trunks, Goten, Gohan and Pan giving their power to Super Saiyan 4 Goku. To stop them, Bebi-Vegeta fires a super Galick Gun at the five saiyans. Although Pan, Trunks, Gohan and Goten are knocked out, Goku emerges unharmed from the explosion, renewed and prepared to resume the battle against the Tuffle Parasite.

Having been greatly weakened by Majuub's earlier interior attack, Bebi-Vegeta's power is now even with Goku's. However, due to his complete lack of focus, and ever-increasing rage, Bebi-Vegeta finds himself unable to harm Super Saiyan 4 Goku, who ultimately takes his opportunity to chop Bebi-Vegeta's tail off, reverting him to a beaten and battered final form Bebi-Vegeta. In a last dicth effort to escape alive, Bebi leaves Vegeta's body and attempts to escape from the New Planet Vegeta in his spaceship.

To his shock, Bebi's last sight is that of Super Saiyan 4 Goku firing a Super Kamehameha wave at Bebi which carries him straight through the core of the sun, destroying the Tuffle Parasite for good. After Bebi's demise, the Holy Water at Kami's Lookout is used to cure all of Bebi's victims.

==Powers==

Bebi can liquefy himself in order to enter his victim's bodies. As he grows, his liquidation ability becomes more advanced. In his infancy stage, he can only become a thick, silvery goop, which is slow moving. In his teenage state, he can become a liquid, and is even able to pass, unharmed, through energy beams in this state. Fully grown, he can become completely watery, and can even take other shapes (he appears as a ball for a brief period).

Although he has some strength on his own, Bebi requires a host body to display his full potential. It appears that when he has chosen a permanent host, he begins to alter the host's appearance to mirror his own (as is seen in the final form of Vegeta-Bebi).

As he gains more power through possession, Bebi appears to "grow up". When he first appears, he's a skinless, mechanical infant. When he appears before Goten, he's a blue-skinned teenager, with facial markings and his standard outfit. When he escapes Vegeta's body, he's fully grown into adulthood.

After possessing a host, Bebi adds their power to his own. He can either choose to leave an egg in the victim after leaving them, or suck them dry completely. He also gains the ability to make nameless copycat attacks of those who he has possessed (all changed to his signature pink color). He also used a 'Super Galick Gun', which was, essentially, an overpowered version of Vegeta's Galick Gun. He can also emit a bright light from his eyes, similar to [[Tenshinhan|Tien]]'s ''Solar Flare'' (Taiyoken in Japan), except that it lasts longer than a single flash.

During the fight with Vegeta, Bebi (in Gohan's body) and the egg-controlled Goten trapped Vegeta in a ball created by the two flying around him at high speeds. While in this ball, he seemed able to create ghost-like images of Gohan and Goten, both speaking with his voice.

Bebi, as the Golden Oozaru in Vegeta's body, was one of the most powerful characters in the Dragonball trilogy. During the final battle, he had far outpowered Goku at Super Saiyan 4, and had to be fought with psychological tactics, rather than brute force. At a fraction of his power (because he was in too much of a blind, bloodlust-fueled rage to properly control his power) his Super Galick Gun, uncharged, was able to do enough damage to the surface of the Earth to be visible from Planet Tuffle, and, as Old Kai (Rou Dai Kaioshin in the Japanese version) feared, could destroy the planet if any charged attack from him hit the ground. Even his screams could do considerable damage.

== Special Attacks==

* '''Revenge Death Ball''' - A large black energy ball. An attack that would have killed Goku if [[List of Deities in Dragon Ball#Kibitoshin|Kibitokai]] (Kibitoshin in the Japanese version), hadn't rescued Goku at the last minute. This attack is similar to the [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Genki Dama|Spirit Bomb]] (Genki Dama) attack, because Bebi has to draw energy from his slaves (the humans). However, this accumulation of power is only needed once, with the power being (evidently) stored within Bebi, as he is able to generate it at will every time afterward. Bebi also used this attack as a Golden Oozaru for his final attack against Goku.

* '''Revenge Death Ball Final''' - Bebi create A giant black ball of energy,The attack is signafied by a spark of ki. He hurled this attack at the Super Saiyan 4 Goku while in the Golden Oozaru state.

* '''Flaming Death Ball''' - A giant black ball of energy, with an orange outer glow. Releases a fiery explosion when it hits. He hurled this attack at the Super Saiyan 4 Goku while in the Golden Oozaru state. Known as Fire Death Ball in the original version.

* '''Super Galick Gun''' - A powered up Galick Gun. Performed while in the Golden Oozaru state.

* '''Renzoku Super Galick Gun''' - Firing many energy bullets. An attempt to destroy the now fullpower Super Saiyan 4 Goku. Performed while in the Golden Oozaru state.

* '''Fire Breath''' - As a Golden Oozaru, Bebi had the ability to launch streams of intense flames from his mouth capable of engulfing much of his city in a blazing inferno.

* '''Final Flash''' - A technique Bebi uses while he is in control of Vegeta. Bebi's version of Final Flash is Pink. Bebi uses this attack once against Goku during their fight on earth (only in the dub. See below), and again later against Uub. Uub was defeated by this technique but later returned to fight Bebi again after fusing with Fat Buu.

* '''Big Bang Attack''' - Used by Bebi while occupying Vegeta's body. In the Japanese version, he performed the Final Flash stance, but shouted "Big Bang Attack", and fired the attack. In the dub, this was changed to Bebi calling out the Final Flash, possibly to avoid confusion.

* '''Kamehameha''' - Used against Piccolo while inhabiting Gohan's body. Bebi appeared to defeat Piccolo in one hit with the attack. He does not retain the ability to use this technique, or any other "signature" techniques, in the bodies of those who would not ordinarily be able to use them.

* '''Liquefy''' - Similar to Majin Buu's attack, Bebi can liquefy his body, and as such enter the bodies of others. This was used as Bebi's means of entering, and subsequently possessing, his victims. As Bebi advanced in his stages of "aging", so, too, did this ability advance. Originally, he could become a thick goop, capable of overtaking his victims, or killing them from the inside (as was the case with Dr. Myuu). As he grew, he could liquefy completely, to the point where he could pass unharmed through beam attacks, and reshape his host body to resemble a humanoid version of himself. He was also able to emerge from his victims from anywhere on their bodies. It should be noted that, unlike Majin Buu, Bebi's possession could not be resisted.

==Trivia==

* Bebi's aura/energy color is [[pink]].

* In Japan, the Golden Oozaru version of Bebi-Vegeta was referred to as ''Super Bebi''. In the American version, there is no special name for Bebi-Vegeta as an Oozaru.

* Bebi-Vegeta, as the Golden Oozaru, was the final boss in the [[PlayStation]] game, ''[[Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout]]''. The final form of Bebi-Vegeta is also an unlockable character in ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi]]'' for the [[PlayStation 2]]. He is confirmed to be a Playable Character in [[Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2]].

* For reasons unknown, Super Bebi's strength was significantly dropped in FUNimation's dub, according to various character dialogue. This includes, but is not limited to, Rou Daikaioshin stating that Bebi was stronger in the Japanese version, while in the English dub, Old Kai states that the two are at equal power. Another example would be the complete removal of Bebi's "You're nothing compared to my power" line entirely in the dub.

* As a Golden Oozaru, Bebi's eyes change from their normal blue color, to red. In the Japanese version, this is to signify Bebi's increasing rage and mental instability (as explained by Old Kai).

* Bebi was originally going to be the chief antagonist in Dragon Ball GT, which was to end at episode 40. However, the series was forced to continue so that it could coincide with the release of ''Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout''. Thus, the series went on. It also caused the series to break with the franchise's tradition of successively stronger villains, with Super 17 lasting only two episodes before his death, and the Dark Dragons being killed during their one and only battles.

* Bebi, while in Vegeta's body, has one of the most impressive fighting records of any Dragon Ball villain; he was only defeated twice (including his ultimate defeat), with every other battle seeing him totally dominate his opponents (often "playing" with them).

* Bebi is one of the few characters to act on the long powerups of others, using this as his opportunity to possess them (since they're too busy powering up to stop him).

* His Japanese theme music contains a series of staccato screeching notes, similar to the theme from the movie ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''.

* When Bebi possesses Vegeta, the name of this form varies slightly in different regions; in Japan, Vegeta's name comes first (Vegeta-Bebi). In the American version, Bebi's name comes first (Bebi-Vegeta).

* Bebi is around longer than any other villain in Dragon Ball GT.
