Basil (バジル Bajiru), known as "Basil the Kicker" (蹴りのバジル Keri no Bajiru, lit. Basil of the Kicks) in the anime, is the youngest brother and a member of Trio of Danger, a team of sibling fighters from Universe 9. Basil is ruthless, arrogant, and enjoys toying with his opponents.
Appearance[]
Basil has red fur and wears a torn muffler, black gloves and red boots. His eyes were yellow and turn purple when in his muscular state. His body was also bulkier in that state as well as his fur turning more of a pinkish color. He resembles a Maned Wolf which has the appearance of a fox sporting long legs.
Personality[]
Basil seems to like toying with his opponents before going into full power, which counterparts Buu's personality as well, except that Basil is considerably more serious than Buu is. He's also shown to be quite arrogant in this match.
Contrary to the ruthless and violent attitude displayed during his fight with Buu, Basil displays a great deal of reverence and affection for his older siblings.
Biography[]
Dragon Ball Super[]
Universe Survival Saga[]
Basil at Zeno's Palace
Basil and the other members of Trio of Danger are selected to participate in the Zeno Expo, a small lead-up tournament that precedes the Tournament of Power. Universe 9's team is matched up against Team Universe 7, with Basil fighting Good Buu.
At the beginning of the match, he assaults with Buu with a barrage of kicks and laughs while doing so. Buu seemed unaffected by his attacks, even after using his special charged kicks. However, as he released his power, Basil hurt Mr. Satan who was spectating the fight causing Buu to get serious and completely trample Basil before knocking him out of the ring.
Basil during his fight against Buu
During his fight with the non-serious Buu, he was first shown to effortlessly pummel him with a barrage of kicks, sending Buu to the ground. Using his kicks, he was even able to deflect Ki blasts from Buu that were fired at him. Upon getting more serious, Basil appeared to send more ki to his legs to strengthen his attacking power, blasting a hole through Buu, while dealing no damage whatsoever.
However, once Buu got angry, and blew steam to power up, Basil ends up battered and broken, almost unconscious outside the ring. However, Zeno and Future Zeno weren't satisfied with the fight ending like that, so they wanted it to continue, as different rules meant that Basil had not yet lost as a victor is only decided when one fighter can no longer continue to fight or gives up.
Basil undergoing a change
After Roh gives him something to eat that allows him to transform into a buff version of himself, he resumes his battle with Buu and fights on par with him, even seemingly overwhelming him. However, Buu yet again resists his attack and fires a powerful ki blast at him, this time a powerful Majin Kamehameha.
While Basil was able to remain standing after the attack and prepared to continue fighting, his drug wore off and he collapsed, having taken too much damage from Buu's onslaught.
After the preliminaries, Basil and the others are returned to their world. Goku and Gohan have a mental image simulation of him fighting Krillin.
Back on their planet, unlike other universes - The Trio De Dangers, Sidra and Roh have a difficult time recruiting members. However, they managed to rally 7 other members by the time of the Tournament of Power.
Trio de Danger being erased
Once the Battle Royale began, Basil started out by briefly clashing with Top. He then fights and defeats Rylibeu of Universe 10 by making her fall out of bounds. Before that happened, both him and Hit incapacitated Narirama's arms to disable his spin attack. He later fought against Napapa and nearly made him fall out of bounds, afterward the Trio De Dangers, Chappil and Hopp set their sights on Goku. He fights him with Bergamo and Lavender and Vegeta after he comes to Goku's aid. After having the rest of the team defeated by the Saiyans, Basil attacks them with his brothers but are utterly defeated. Having the Trio de Dangers being defeated, Team Universe 9 was erased by both Zeno along with their universe and gods, Sidra and Roh.
The Trio of Danger attack Piccolo and Gohan
In the manga, Basil arrives alongside his brothers and the other members of Team Universe 9 to compete in the Tournament of Power. Early on the trio face off with Team Universe 3's Pancéa, Koitsukai and Narirama. The trio go on to attack Gohan and gain an edge over him thanks to their teamwork, though when Gohan sees Piccolo in trouble, he is able to knock them away with an explosive wave. The trio then regroup with the rest of Team Universe 9 as the entire group face Gohan and Piccolo, however before they can begin to fight Frost interrupts and eliminates the entire team aside from the Trio of Danger, who retreat. The trio then begin their attack on Gohan and Piccolo once more, when they split up Bergamo tells Basil and Lavender to go after Gohan, however as they leap towards him, they are both knocked off stage by Frieza. When Frieza goes on to eliminate Bergamo, Universe 9 is erased.
Basil is later revived with his universe when Android 17 uses the Super Dragon Balls to resurrect all of the universes that were erased.[1]
Super Dragon Ball Heroes[]
Supreme Kai of Time Saga[]
During round two of the Super Space-Time Tournament, Basil is shown as one of the warriors on a stylized version of Planet Namek.[2]
Power[]
- Anime
Basil's fighting style appears to revolve exclusively on kicking, reminiscent of Savate-style. As one of the Trio of Danger, Basil is one of the strongest warriors in Universe 9. However, his power is nowhere near a match for Good Buu's, only managing to knock the Majin around due to the fact that Buu believed they were playing, even when Basil utilized his real power. Upon becoming angered Buu easily knocked down Basil. Upon powering up through a drug, Basil became capable of matching the angered Good Buu in combat and even withstood a full force Majin Kamehameha - preparing to continue the fight, however, his drug wore off and he collapsed.
Goku and Gohan later do an image-battle simulation between Basil and Krillin (prior to his training) - in the battle, Krillin manages to briefly hold his own thanks to his techniques, but he is defeated by Basil in one shot without having done any damage.
During the Tournament of Power, he was shown to be rather powerful, as he was able to trade a punch with Top. His kick proved powerful enough to break Narirama's arm. He used very effective techniques to try and knock fighters off of the ring, as when he defeated Rylibeu by using two Shining Blasters and pushed back Napapa with three Shining Blasters, though Napapa stopped them with one hand. Basil together with Team Universe 9 were able to pressure both Goku and Vegeta, however in the end they are outclassed by the two Saiyans.
- Manga
Together with his brothers he is able to pressure Gohan. He is able to remain standing when attacked by Frost's ki blast while the likes of Lavender, Oregano and Sorrel could not. Teaming up with Lavender he is able to hold an advantage against Gohan. However he is easily launched out of the ring by a single surprise Death Beam from Frieza as he and Lavender charged at Gohan.
