Biography

Dragon Ball Z – Majin Buu Saga

Olibu's heroic deeds during his lifetime became the basis for many of Earth's legendary tales. According to King Kai, his legacy may have even inspired structures like Korin Tower on Earth, as hinted in the anime filler.

After his heroic life, Olibu was granted the honor of living and training on the Grand Kai's Planet, where he continued honing his skills for 10,000 years before meeting Goku in the Other World. During the Other World Tournament, Olibu showcased his prowess by defeating Chapuchai but ultimately lost to Pikkon in the quarterfinals.

Later, Olibu sparred with Gorilla alongside Yamcha and appeared taunting Kid Buu with Pikkon. Although Kid Buu nearly destroyed him with the Shocking Ball, the villain shifted focus to Goku and Vegeta upon sensing their energy. Olibu's final appearance in Dragon Ball Z is among the crowd of fighters observing Goku's epic battle with Kid Buu.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes – Supreme Kai of Time Saga

In Super Dragon Ball Heroes, an incarnation of Olibu is summoned during the climactic battle against Dark King Demigra and his army. He confronts the formidable Transcended Golden Meta-Cooler, standing alongside other legendary fighters.
