Janemba

Janemba's History

Janemba is the main antagonist of the 1995 film Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn. Janemba was created when a young ogre, who was put in charge of cleaning the Soul Cleanser, neglects the machine. This caused all of the negative energy from the machine to explode and transforms the ogre into Janemba. Goku is sent down to Hell to fight Janemba.

After a short fight, Janemba made Goku go Super Saiyan 3 before he could defeat him, and when Goku did Janemba transformed into a far more powerful form. Vegeta in his Super Saiyan 2 state then appears, and joins the fight, but even with his help they can't defeat Janemba. Goku suggests that they fuse together and, after some initial hesitation, Vegeta agrees. They transform, but not correctly instead forming into Veku, so Janemba beats him around until the fusion wears off. They try again and do it right forming Gogeta who beats Janemba in no time with the Stardust Breaker, dissolving the evil that is Janemba and turning him back into the ogre.

His first form actually seems to be called Janempa, as it is all that he says, and is referred to as such by Goku and Pikkon, as well as the credits when voiced by Jim Foronda, while his second form is referred to in the credits as Janemba, voiced by Kent Williams. However, the games call him only Janemba, and his second form is referred to as Super Janemba. In the Japanese version, both Janempa and Janemba are voiced by Tessho Genda.
