Beelzebub (ベルゼブブ, Beruzebubu) is a demon native to the Demon Realm. The son of Dabura, he was made king of the Demon Realm shortly after his father was taken away by Babidi in Age 474. In Age 776, he formed an alliance with Ledas during a mission to Earth to track down his father. Afterwards, they created and were the founding members of the intergalactic bounty hunting group, the Starchasers.
He is the protagonist of A Quest for Booty, a main character in Chasers Can't Be Choosers, and is a secondary character in Dragon Ball: Heart of the Dragon.
History[]
Cool Cat[]
While traveling the world in this story, Korin encountered Beelzebub, Prince of the Demon Realm. The young demon was sitting under a tree playing on his Nintendo 3DS when Korin came running over to him. Beelzebub splashed him with water from his water bottle, which outraged the cat. Beelzebub offered to sell him sacred water which would make him stronger and wiser for a million zeni. Korin paid for it gladly. When Beelzebub mistook him for a female cat, Korin swiped him in the face, causing the boy to cry. Then, Korin drank the sacred water, but it did not make him feel any stronger. Beelzebub revealed that he had sold Korin tap water before running off gleefully.
Korin chased him down and kicked him good. He asked Beelzebub where Korin Tower was, but the boy did not know as he was not a native. He pointed out a huge tower in the distance, guessing that it could have been that one. After Korin beat him up again for not answering his questions, the boy admitted that the quickest way to the tower was to follow a nearby river flowing west. They walked over to the river together, and most pleased, Korin rewarded Beelzebub with a gift - Sonic ‘06 for the Nintendo Wii. He kicked Beelzebub into the sky when the boy made a face (he was thinking about how his father would only let him play the video game for an hour when he got home).
A Quest for Booty[]
At the start of chapter 1, a demon servant approached Beelzebub in the royal palace, begging to speak with him. The boy, more concerned with twirling around a sword, ordered him to take his concern to Towa. Later, Towa ordered that servant to give the scroll containing the locations of the Dragon Balls to another servant who was to be tasked with taking Beelzebub to Earth to search for them. The servant was not to disobey Beelzebub, but was also not allowed to show him the map. Towa threatened the demon with death if he failed to do what she asked of him. He ran out while Towa laughed to herself, thinking that the Earthlings would kill Beelzebub if he tried to gather the Dragon Balls, which would make her the sole ruler of the Demon Realm.
Not long after, Beelzebub and Khulketti went to Earth to search for the Dragon Balls. Khulketti told Beelzebub that he would follow him around until they had found all of the Dragon Balls. He was going to be rewarded by Towa with a minor kingship if he brought the prince back in one piece. Beelzebub reminded him that they were only here to find the Dragon Balls in order to revive Dabura, Beelzebub's father. He complained that Khulketti had brought him to a desert, for there was nothing around. The servant, however, showed him that the first Dragon Ball was nearby - sitting in the beak of a dead bird. When Beelzebub questioned him about how he knew the ball was there, Khulketti rose into the air, flustered. A moment later, a sand dragon shot up from under the dune and swallowed Khulketti whole.
Beelzebub swore, cursing Khulketti for not answering him before his demise. Moments later, the dragon rose again, this time targeting the prince. He shot a ki blast through its throat, killing it. As it landed, he noticed the corpse of Khulketti inside, a torn, bloody scroll next to him. Beelzebub snatched it up and realized it showed the locations of all seven Dragon Balls. Towa had obviously enchanted the scroll to show the Dragon Balls' locations in real time. After calculating which was nearest to him, Beelzebub kicked off into the sky and flew off in its direction.
In the third scene, Old Kai saw in his crystal ball that Beelzebub had come to Earth and was collecting the Dragon Balls. He was at a party with Kibito Kai, Abo and Kado, and most of the Z Fighters. After Old Kai told Kibito Kai that, the latter began to panic, for he was shocked that Dabura had son, and a conniving one at that. Kibito Kai asked if they should stop him. Old Kai didn't think so, for Beelzebub was nowhere near as strong as his father. Kibito Kai once more stared into the crystal ball, and remembering how Dabura had killed Kibito in the past, he swore to himself that he would not allow the man's son to acquire the Dragon Balls.
In the fourth scene, Beelzebub reached East City. He was uncomfortable with the number of humans in the city, remembering that his father had used to tell him bedtime stories about how foul, greedy, and passionless humans were. He swiped a bottle of water from one vendor and ran off when the guy asked him for some amount of zeni (Beelzebub didn't know what zeni was). Afterwards, he followed the scroll's directions to an alleyway.
Illuminating the dank, garbage-filled road with a ki blast, he noticed the orange glitter of a Dragon Ball in the distance. When he grabbed it, though, Emperor Pilaf appeared, demanding the Dragon Ball for himself. Beelzebub insulted his appearance and threw him down the alleyway. Moments later, Kibito Kai materialized in a burst of light in front of Beelzebub. The boy made fun of how ugly Kibito Kai was, so the deity used a paralyzing technique on him. Beelzebub dropped the Dragon Ball. Delighted, Pilaf ran over to it, but before he could scoop it up, Kibito Kai blasted him away with a kiai and took the ball. Then, declaring that he was going to protect the universe from Beelzebub, he prepared to incinerate the boy. The prince apologized for his earlier comments, but the Supreme Kai would not listen.
Just then, Abo and Kado appeared. Abo grabbed Beelzebub, moving him out of the line of fire, and swiped the Dragon Ball from Kibito Kai while Kado confronted the Supreme Kai. He was shocked that a god would try to kill a kid, especially one who professed to be a good guy. Kibito Kai thought that Abo and Kado were still evil, having not changed after their fight against Goten and Trunks merely an hour ago. He shot ki blasts at them, and they retaliated in kind, the attacks cancelling each other out. Kibito Kai once more warned the two to back off, boasting about having killed the cunning magician Bibidi in the past.
Unimpressed, the pair fused into Aka, who was far stronger than Kibito Kai. The Supreme Kai fled at once. Beelzebub approached the pair and thanked them for saving him. He asked them who Kibito Kai was, but they didn't know much about him, aside from the fact that he had been at Mr. Satan's party. They introduced themselves. Then, Abo asked the prince what he was planning on wishing for with the Dragon Balls. He told them about his plot to bring his father back to life. They alerted him to the fact that Shenron granted three wishes, not just one. Beelzebub realized that they wanted to use one of those wishes for themselves. Abo admitted as much, which prompted Kado to hit him for being so stupid.
Nevertheless, the two agreed to become Beelzebub's bodyguards if they were given one of the wishes. Knowing that Kibito Kai would probably be back, Beelzebub agreed to that. Abo was a little displeased, as he had wanted to party at the Guac that night. Kado assuaged his fears by reminding him that they could party after they got their wish. Afterwards, the three took to the air and continued on their quest to find the Dragon Balls.
In the fifth scene, Kibito Kai returned to Mr. Satan's party. He knew he would need an ally to fight Abo, Kado, and Beelzebub.
In the second scene of chapter 2, Beelzebub, Abo, and Kado visited the kingdom of Himohimovich, which was located deep in some far-off forest. Himohimovich was enjoying a feast with his people when the trio interrupted him (having broken in through his privy window). He was surprised to see them, and thinking they were tourists, he walked over to the three and began reading to them the laws of his kingdom. Beelzebub ignored the fat man. Towa's scroll confirmed that the Dragon Ball was in that room. He wondered where exactly it was. They began searching for it. Himohimovich was offended that they didn't listen to him finish reading the laws of his land.
The man confronted Beelzebub, and the two exchanged prideful remarks. He let it slip that he knew what the Dragon Ball looked like, so Beelzebub hit him into a wall (crushing a grub person in the process) and demanded to know where it was. Himohimovich refused to answer unless the foreigners took part in a sparring match first. Abo and Kado agreed to do so, much to Beelzebub's annoyance. They wanted to fight over who would be allowed to make their wish. Resigned to the fact that they were going to fight regardless of what he said, the prince sat back and watched it go down.
Abo and Kado fiercely dueled, though neither gained the edge on the other. After trading some blows, the two air dashed into each other, hitting their heads against one another, knocking them unconscious. With the fight concluded, Beelzebub demanded the Dragon Ball from Himohimovich. The king, however, noticed that the prince and his bodyguards did not look like humans.
Accusing them of being cosplayers (cosplaying was illegal in Himohimovich's kingdom), he ordered some of his denizens to release Grasshopperra, a giant grasshopper beast, to kill the trio. Three of them did so, but two were killed by the beast in the process. As Grasshopperra bore down on Beelzebub, several of Himohimovich's people spontaneously combusted in fright. The demon dodged the monster as it approached him, jumping onto its back and shooting a black ball of ki at it. The beast exploded into fleshy bits, its blood splattering all over Himohimovich's feasting table.
Beelzebub found the king cowering underneath the table, sucking on a chicken bone. He kicked him out from under there, severely wounding the man. Himohimovich called for his supporters to save him, but none did. Impatient, Beelzebub vaporized the king's clothes with a ki blast. The Dragon Ball fell from his naked body. The boy cleansed it with ki before touching it. Incensed, Himohimovich threw his chicken bone at the kid and demanded they fight for the ball. Beelzebub didn't care, instead walking over to the dazed alien brothers, whispering to them that they had been utterly useless and did not deserve a wish. The two woke up. Kado boasted about their abilities, though Beelzebub rebuked him. Without looking back, the trio jumped through Himohimovich's stain-glass window and vanished into the night.
In the fourth scene, Beelzebub, Abo, and Kado arrived in West City on their hunt for the fourth Dragon Ball. Abo and Kado bought some ice cream with Beelzebub's "demon coins". Beelzebub was standing in the middle of the road as many stopped cars honked their horns at him. Upon correctly orienting himself compared to the map, the prince led his bodyguards into the air, and to the left. As they went, Abo dropped his ice cream. Horrified, he promised to avenge the ice cream soon enough.
They eventually landed at a house, which was where the Dragon Ball was supposedly located. Beelzebub kicked the door in, ordering his bodyguards to search the place for the ball. It wasn't long before Abo found it in a box sitting on a table in the living room. He showed it to Beelzebub. Abo's reward was a tub of chocolate ice cream from the refrigerator. When Kado tried to join in, Beelzebub slapped him and berated him for not finding the ball.
Just then, Ledas and Ryori, the boys who lived in the house, returned. Ledas was telling Ryori not to worry, for Bulma would make them a new Dragon Radar (presumably the radar they had used to procure the Dragon Ball Beelzebub stole had been broken). They noticed that the front door had been kicked in. Before Beelzebub and his bodyguards could hide, the boys ran inside and found them. Ledas spotted the demon holding the Dragon Ball and demanded to know what was going on. The prince merely ordered Abo and Kado to knock out the boys. The aliens were unsure if that was necessary. Ledas told Ryori to stay behind him so that he could take care the thieves himself. Ryori ran outside.
After he did so, Abo rushed at Ledas with a swinging fist. Ledas caught it easily and threw the alien into the television. The wall collapsed on top of Abo and he did not get up. Kado came at Ledas next, but he kicked the man through several walls, which caused part of the roof to immediately collapse. Ledas then confronted Beelzebub. The demon complained about how ineffective Abo and Kado had been before Ledas slapped him so hard, he flew into the refrigerator in the kitchen before collapsing to the floor. The Saiyan plucked the Dragon Ball from his grasp and told him that he and Ryori were collecting the balls to wish Ryori's brother back to life. He would not let anyone stop them from making their wish. He grasped Beelzebub by the neck, bringing him to eye level.
They exchanged several empty threats before Aka (Abo and Kado having sneakily fused into Aka) came up behind Ledas and slammed his head into the marble countertop. The boy dropped Beelzebub and fell over. Aka confronted him, boasting wildly. Dazed as he was, the Saiyan was unimpressed. He noticed Beelzebub crawling over to the Dragon Ball (which he had dropped after striking the countertop), teleported over to the demon, and stomped his fingers. Screaming, Beelzebub reached for a canister of pink spray paint near the sink. He sprayed Ledas' face with it, getting some of it in his hair, too. Ledas fell over, screaming, covering his eyes. Aka complained that he hadn't been allowed to defeat the boy. Beelzebub told him to shut up if he wanted to get his wish. Then, he went at Ledas again, emptying the entire canister in his face. However, by that time, he had recovered, so he merely punched the demon prince in the throat, and Beelzebub was knocked down.
Afterwards, he confronted Aka, noting that while the alien had become far stronger in his fused form, he was still no match for Ledas. The two began their duel. Ledas was able to comfortably dodge Aka, though the warrior demolished half of his house in the process. Outside, Ryori lamented the fact that Ledas allowed the house to take so much damage. Ledas didn't seem to mind, though. He noted that Aka's fighting style reminded him of Nappa's.
Finally, Ledas ended the fight by going Super Saiyan. He threatened to kill Aka if the alien ever tried to steal the Dragon Ball from him again. With his increased speed and power, he easily outpaced the fusion. Without being seen, he kicked Aka's legs out from under him, teleported in front of him, elbowed him downwards, and then hit him with a vicious uppercut that sent the poor purple fellow sailing through a wall. He came to a stop halfway through the tree on the front lawn, though he did not move and leaked blood. A pedestrian who had seen that raced off in his hovercar in horror only to hit a parked car three blocks down the road.
Ledas regressed to his base form and walked over to Beelzebub. He made sure the boy had heard what he had said to Aka. Beelzebub was flustered. He knew he couldn't give up on his quest. He decided to strike a deal with Ledas. He would gather all of the Dragon Balls, and in return for Ledas' ball, the boy could have his wish to revive Ryori's brother. He showed the Saiyan the three balls he had already collected. Ledas agreed to the partnership, stating that Beelzebub would make up for destroying his house if he found the remaining three Dragon Balls. Ryori butted in by noting that Ledas could have prevented Aka and Beelzebub from destroying the house, but Ledas shrugged him off, reminding his friend that he could have Cardinal give them a new, bigger house. Ryori seemed to like that, for he had wanted a new bathroom anyways.
Beelzebub asked if he could hold onto Ledas' Dragon Ball, but the other boy refused to give it up. He told the demon to return to Capsule Corp. when he had collected the other six balls so that Ledas could make the wish himself. Beelzebub couldn't argue any further, so he returned to Aka, who had by that point de-fused into Abo and Kado. He told them to follow him, and groggily, they took to the sky, pursuing the next Dragon Ball.
In the first scene of chapter 3, Beelzebub, Abo, and Kado continued their search for the Dragon Balls. While Beelzebub consulted Towa's scroll, the brothers played rock-paper-scissors. Kado won, prompting his brother to bring up the fact that Kado had previously won the Planet Trade Organization rock-paper-scissors contest. Beelzebub was curious about that organization. The brothers told him about it, but spoke in negative terms, for they had not had too much fun on their missions other than the one against Tarble (before they had come to Earth). Beelzebub mentioned that they were just going on missions for him now, but Kado retorted that since they had become good guys, it was entirely different.
Afterwards, the three flew off to a desert region, where the next Dragon Ball was located. They came across the Manu clan there, which was a race of bird-like beings. As they approached the tribe's territory, two birds flew over to them and demanded to know what they wanted. Beelzebub kicked one of them away, telling the other that as the Prince of the Demon Realm, he could go wherever he wanted without being questioned. The other bird, fearful of being attacked, offered to take the three to his king. Beelzebub took him up on the offer.
The king was at first annoyed by the presence of the outsiders, but after the guard, Crano, told him what Beelzebub had done to the other guard (Tano), he become more amicable. He asked the boy why he had come to the Manu clan's territory. Beelzebub told him that he was looking for his fourth Dragon Ball. Brago was surprised to hear that there was more than one Dragon Ball. He offered to give Beelzebub his ball if the boy passed a test (he would give him three chances). Beelzebub agreed, thinking this was a nice change of pace from his struggles to get the previous balls.
The king told him a riddle. Abo and Kado wasted the first two chances with nonsensical replies. However, Beelzebub was able to solve the riddle with his guess. King Brago handed over the one-star Dragon Ball, stating that his people had already used it for their purposes. He and his bodyguards prepared to leave when the bird king implored them to stay the night, as they looked tired and unkempt. Beelzebub was most pleased with that and followed Crano to the hotel.
In the third scene, Beelzebub awoke in the deluxe suite of the Manu hotel. He walked over to the safe that he had stored his Dragon Balls and scroll in and, to his horror, realized they were missing. He ran over to Abo and Kado's room and asked them if they had stolen the balls. They had not (and not being smart enough to pick a lock without destroying the safe, he believed them). Beelzebub realized that the only other person who knew the safe's combination had been the hotel manager.
He left the room to confront the manager. He asked several employees if they were the manager before finding the bird in charge. He asked the man what had happened to the Dragon Ball. When the manager mentioned that he didn't know what had happened to the balls, Beelzebub realized something was amiss, for the man should not have known that Beelzebub possessed more than one. He threatened the manager, causing the bird to tell him that during the previous night, two men wearing black had entered the hotel and had demanded the code to the safe. They would have killed the manager and his family had he refused to give up that code. As they left, the manager noticed that one of them was doing seed (a drug in the Manu kingdom). The symbol for the Rebirno gang had been on his blunt.
The manager also said that the king's guards would likely know the location of the Rebirno gang's secret base. Beelzebub flew off into the sky, eventually finding one guard. He asked him where the Rebirno gang's lair was. When the guard refused to tell him, he shot a ki blast into a nearby forest, splintering it to bits. Frightened, the guard pointed at a mountain in the distance. Beelzebub sped off towards it.
Soon after, he reached the mountain and found a metal door built into the side of a jagged cliff. Two birds guarded it. When the demon confronted them, they refused to tell them what lay inside, so he killed them and kicked a hole in the door. Inside, he called for the cowards to give him back his Dragon Balls, but nobody answered. A small pigeon flew out from the shadows and smacked him with a water ball (getting the boy all wet) before flying out the open door.
He then contacted a Rebirno through telepathy (all demons can use telepathic communication, of course), and told the bird that he would find him soon and kill him for stealing the Dragon Balls. The Rebirno was quite shocked that someone was speaking to him like that and blamed it on some juice that a bird named Pergnant had given him. Beelzebub promised to give the Rebirno a head start to run away if he told him where the other gang members were. The bird agreed and opened up a hidden wall nearby, revealing himself to the prince. He flew out the open door, trying to get away, but Beelzebub, after counting to three, threw a ki blast at him that vaporized the poor bird instantly.
He entered the secret passageway, eventually finding the Rebirnos gathered around a pedestal holding the Dragon Balls. Without waiting, he lunged forward and took back what was rightfully his. The birds were quite surprised to see him there. One, the son of Brago, confronted Beelzebub, noting that his father had warned him about the demon. The princely bird revealed that the Yeti and Atlantean clans were also making sacrifices to their gods with their Dragon Balls in order to achieve some great power. He pulled out a gun. Beelzebub kicked him once in the chest and the bird fell over dead. He grabbed the body and flew out of the hideout, leaving a pink ki blast behind that vaporized the remaining Rebirno members.
Beelzebub returned to King Brago and threw the body of his son before him. Brago blamed himself for his son's death (revealing he had ordered the kid to steal the Dragon Balls). He asked for Beelzebub's mercy, as the Manu clan could not function without a leader. Beelzebub thought of his father and how the Demon Realm had languished in his absence and so decided to spare Brago. He called Abo and Kado over and the three of them flew off with their four Dragon Balls.
In the fourth scene, after securing the four-star Dragon Ball from the Yeti clan, Ledas took out the Dragon Radar and noticed that Beelzebub had collected four Dragon Balls. He was now headed to Ledas' location. He and Jaco waited for Beelzebub to meet up with them.
In the fifth scene, Kibito Kai mused that since he had a Dragon Ball, Beelzebub wouldn't be able to make his wish. He also knew that since Buu could defeat Abo and Kado, he was no longer in danger. He prepared to place the Dragon Ball on the Sacred World of the Kai so that it could never fall into Beelzebub's hands when Buu demanded chocolate from him. Kibito Kai wanted to drop off the ball first. That enraged Buu. He swiped the ball from the Kai's grasp and absorbed it. He refused to give it back until he had been given chocolate. Kibito Kai asked him what kind of chocolate he wanted. Buu wanted to turn Abo and Kado into chocolate and eat them in order to bring Mr. Satan's plate back. With no other option but to go with it, Kibito Kai directed Buu to Beelzebub's location, and the two flew off at great speed.
In the sixth scene, Beelzebub, Abo, and Kado met up with Ledas and Jaco in the far north of the world. Jaco was frightened by Abo and Kado, but they reassured him that they were good guys now. Jaco thought that Beelzebub was a bounty hunter hired by Abo and Kado, but the demon prince corrected him on the matter (though he did like the idea of becoming a bounty hunter), stating that he was only collecting the Dragon Balls to bring his father back to life. Jaco was confused, for he thought Ledas was going to use the Dragon Balls himself. The Saiyan informed him that Shenron granted three wishes and he only needed to use one. Jaco asked if he could use the third wish, but Kado asserted that he and his brother owned the third wish.
Paprikan, who was lurking nearby, had heard what they had said. He was surprised to see Abo and Kado and briefly thought they were chasing him, but then remembered that they had been after Tarble the last he'd heard. He assumed that Ledas was Tarble and that he had gotten Jaco to help him fight Abo and Kado, while the brothers had hired Beelzebub to help them. Beelzebub took out Towa's scroll and noticed that the seventh Dragon Ball was headed to their location. He sensed that Kibito Kai was one of two people with the ball (the other being far stronger than the Kai).
The demon prince ordered Abo and Kado to fight off the purple man and his assistant and also asked for Ledas' help. The Saiyan refused to help unless Abo and Kado were defeated. He wanted to watch the fight, however. Beelzebub thought that was too risky. Ledas reminded him that he was the strongest fighter around. The demon complained that he wasn't going to stop Kibito Kai's champion, but Ledas promised to do so if Abo and Kado failed. Jaco wanted to stay where they were, but since Ledas and Beelzebub didn't trust Abo and Kado, the other two overruled him. Jaco was allowed to stay if he wanted, but Ledas mentioned there could be more of those smoke-monster yetis, which spooked Jaco badly, so he went with them.
In the first scene of chapter 4, after Aka and Majin Buu began to fight, Kibito Kai landed on a nearby island to watch them. At that moment, Beelzebub, Jaco, and Ledas appeared. Kibito Kai vaguely recognized Ledas, thinking he was one of Vegeta's friends. The Saiyan recognized him from Mr. Satan's parties, which flustered the god. He tried to remember Ledas' name, but could not. The boy asked him what he was doing there, and Kibito Kai told him that he and Buu were trying to stop Beelzebub from collecting the Dragon Balls to wish back his father. Ledas ignored him, telling Jaco and Beelzebub that once Aka beat Buu, they would make the wish on that very island.
Incredulously, Kibito Kai asked the Saiyan if he knew who Dabura was. He did not, and didn't seem to care about the consequences of reviving him. Kibito Kai said that Dabura had been King of the Demon Realm and had come to Earth with Buu and Babidi to kill everyone. Beelzebub contested that notion, stating that Babidi had taken him away from the Demon Realm against his will. Briefly, Kibito Kai considered that, but then thought better of it, as demons were not to be trusted. He told them that Dabura had been stronger than Cell, but none of them knew who Cell was. Ledas asked if the guy had been strong. Kibito Kai admitted that by their standards nowadays, he was not, but he did remind the god of Jaco's last girlfriend. Jaco didn't understand how Kibito Kai knew about Space Sheila.
To escape the awkwardness, the Kai flew into the air, getting closer to Buu and Aka's fight. After he left, Ledas, Beelzebub, and Jaco agreed that Kibito Kai was an idiot. Ledas alerted them to the fact that Aka was going to lose to Buu. Beelzebub asked him to step in.
Before the Saiyan could answer, Paprikan appeared and headbutted Ledas, knocking him out. Jaco fled in terror. Beelzebub didn't move an inch. Paprikan told the demon that the Dragon Balls were his. Beelzebub was unconcerned and prepared to fight him to the death for the balls. They attacked each other. Paprikan was able to withstand Beelzebub's first assault, which gave him confidence. Then, Beelzebub cut his cheek open with a finger beam, and the Makyan became enraged. He hit the demon with an energy beam that not even Admiral Bael had been able to dodge during one of their sparring sessions. Beelzebub flew off the island, falling into the ocean. Paprikan pursued him, getting a reading of only 100,000 from his scouter. He knew he would be able to kill the kid if that was his full strength.
In the third scene, Beelzebub regained his balance, righting himself just as a pirate ship came floating by. He landed on its deck. There were many pirates on board. Maron, a woman, was with them, but at the first sign of trouble, she ran to the captain's chambers. The captain ordered his men to attack Beelzebub. The demon kicked all of them into the water. Then, Paprikan landed on deck. He attacked Beelzebub with an energy hook. The two traded blows, damaging the ship in the process.
Out came Captain Patchjaw, a giant worm-like monster pirate, Maron on his arm. The remaining crew accompanied them. He spit out a sword and attacked the pair. Paprikan effortlessly sliced his sword in two and Beelzebub kicked him far out into the ocean where he no doubt died of hypothermia minutes later. One of the pirates tried to distract the fighters with Maron, but Paprikan just threw everybody overboard. Whether or not they died was not shown.
Paprikan once more turned his attention to the boy. He refused to believe that the demon was stronger than him, so he hit the kid with a flurry of attacks, including his Pepper Shaker, but they did little damage to Beelzebub (although the ship was torn to pieces). Afterwards, Beelzebub hit him in the face with a ki blast, destroying his scouter and leaving a terrible wound on his forehead. Paprikan whined about Beelzebub getting in his way, for he just wanted space beer. The prince couldn't believe that that was going to be Paprikan's wish. He retorted that wishing his father back to life was much more important. Having heard enough, Paprikan transformed into his Giant Form, and the two fell into battle stances.
In the fourth scene, Jaco woke Ledas up and told him that Abo and Kado had secured the Dragon Ball from Buu. Ledas was surprised to learn about that until Jaco revealed that they had outwitted the Majin, not defeated him in combat. Kado threw him the ball. The Saiyan took the four out of Beelzebub's bag and added the two he had as well, laying all seven out in a circle on the island. Ledas asked Jaco where Beelzebub was, but the Galactic Patrolman simply shrugged.
Later, Majin Buu stole Beelzebub's wish, though the demon prince was still nowhere to be found.
In the fifth scene, Beelzebub and Paprikan continued their fight. Paprikan dominated Beelzebub in his giant form. The boy was battered by energy blasts, but did not give up. He used his telekinetic communication to surprise Paprikan before attacking him. The man caught him and put him in a bear hug. He squeezed the boy while declaring himself triumphant. Just then, Beelzebub shot eye beams into the Makyan's forehead wound. The beams went right through his skull, killing the man instantly. Afterwards, Beelzebub flew over to a small island and collapsed on it, falling unconscious as the sky darkened then returned to its normal color.
In the sixth scene, Ledas woke Beelzebub up. The demon complained, thinking it was Khulketti prodding him at first, and then hit Ledas with a ki blast in his sleep. Not expecting it, the Saiyan went flying into the ocean. Beelzebub woke up and sat up, looking around, when Ledas shot up from beneath the water and returned to the island. The Saiyan told the demon that the Dragon Balls had been used in Beelzebub's absence. He told Beelzebub that Abo and Kado had wished to be transported to the Pink Oyster Cult on Poonjab VII and that Buu had wished for some candy.
Beelzebub didn't even know who Buu was. In his rage, he stomped the island into the sea. Ledas also told him that he had used the third wish. Beelzebub said that the kid owed him big, but Ledas disagreed, stating that it had been Buu who had stolen the prince's wish, not him. His fury not subsiding, Beelzebub nonetheless asked Ledas to take him back to his bag because he was thirsty. Ledas was surprised to learn that Beelzebub couldn't find his way back on his own. They flew back to the other island. Beelzebub had to stop himself from crying. He thought of his father bowing before Babidi, the last time he had seen him, and knew that he would never see him again.
In the seventh scene, Ledas and Beelzebub returned to the island where Jaco was. Jaco had stolen Beelzebub's last bottle of water and was drinking from it, which greatly offended the prince. He took the bottle back and wiped it off before taking a swig. He told the Galactic Patrolman that he had killed Paprikan and also berated the guy for being a nerd. Jaco was impressed and told him that he should become a bounty hunter. Both Ledas and Beelzebub liked the sound of that, although the demon knew he still had to rule the Demon Realm, so he could not put as much time into bounty hunting as Ledas.
Ledas, on the other hand, grew nostalgic at the thought, thinking that it would be like the old days with him and Vegeta. Beelzebub mentioned that since there was more to bounty hunting than beating up guys, he could run the administrative stuff, such as advertising their business, payment distribution, and acquiring bounties. The two seemed set on working together. Jaco mentioned that the Galactic Patrol didn't prohibit bounty hunting, provided the hunters didn't work in tandem with criminals.
Beelzebub thought their business should be called Demon Hunters Incorporated™, though Ledas was less enamored with that name. Jaco gave them each a transmitter that would relay information on active bounties from Galactic Patrol headquarters. Beelzebub didn't know how they would hunt in intergalactic space, since Ledas didn't know if he could breathe in space or not. Jaco offered to give them a ship, but Ledas was suspicious, as he had wanted to wish for a new ship from Shenron. The Saiyan and the demon agreed to meet up at Capsule Corp. in a week's time to begin their bounty hunting business. Afterwards, Ledas left, for he needed to go pick up Shoekki. Beelzebub ordered Jaco to present his ship at Capsule Corp. for them to use, and the alien flew off to get that done.
Soon after, as Beelzebub was preparing to leave, Kibito Kai returned to confront the demon prince, Buu's head tentacle in one hand. Beelzebub told him that he hadn't gotten his wish and didn't seem to know that the Dragon Balls could recharge, which relieved Kibito Kai. He told the man he just wanted to go home now. He pulled out a small device and told the Kai that his aunt Towa had given it to him. He only needed to press the button on it to return to the Demon Realm. However, when he pressed it, he was not taken home. Beelzebub thought that his aunt had forgotten to put the batteries in the device (in reality, she had intentionally marooned him on Earth).
Kibito Kai offered to take him home, for he thought the boy would only cause more mischief if he stayed on Earth. The prince insulted him. Kibito Kai threatened to send Beelzebub somewhere remote so that he couldn't take over the world after he revived his father. Beelzebub was surprised at that. He told the man that he just wanted to revive his father to bring him home. He had no desire to conquer Earth.
Realizing that the boy was telling the truth, Kibito Kai teleported him to Other World, where Dabura was, so that he could see his father before returning home. There, they met up with King Yemma. Kibito Kai told the man that he was taking Beelzebub to see his father. Yemma consented to the operation. The two flew up to heaven, where they found Dabura in a field, covered in flowers. He was picking even more. Feeling conflicted about seeing his father that way, Beelzebub declined to approach him and instead requested the man to take him home, which the Kai was happy to do.
In the first scene of chapter 5, Towa was working on a portal device that would allow the demons to move between the Demon Realm and Universe 7 at will. She noted that it was far more advanced than the old portal left behind by Babidi that Beelzebub had used to get to Earth. She had destroyed that portal so that the kid couldn't return, even if he did succeed in bringing Dabura back to life. Later, Kibito Kai and Beelzebub teleported into her lab, landing on top of her. Before she could say a word, Kibito Kai teleported out of there.
In the third scene, Beelzebub greeted Towa. She was shocked that he had returned to the Demon Realm, thinking to herself that there had been a zero percent chance of that happening. She asked him who that man had been who had teleported Beelzebub into her lab. He told her that that had been Kibito Kai, a very annoying godly fellow. He also said that the Kai had taken him to see his father in heaven.
He also informed her that he had gathered the Dragon Balls, though two of the wishes had been used by idiots, and the third had been used by his business partner, so he hadn't been able to revive his father. He informed her about Dabura's flower-picking in heaven and said that he was glad he hadn't revived his father after seeing that. Towa was disgusted that Dabura had fallen so far and thought he had been brainwashed. She considered using Mira, once he was created, to break Dabura out of heaven and restore him to his previous state.
Beelzebub picked up her teleportation device and tested it on one of Towa's vials of liquid. After seeing it teleport away, he remarked that she should have given him this device, as the one he had taken to Earth had been faulty. She slapped him for his insolence, though he held onto the device. She demanded that he hand over the device. In her fury she said she would make the demons prosper more than Dabura ever could by freeing them and laying waste to Universe 7. She declared herself Queen of the Demon Realm and told him that if he gave her back the device, she might spare his life. Outraged that she tried to usurp him, Beelzebub pointed the device at her and teleported her to some random location on Earth. He thought to himself that if she continued to act like that, she would be the first target of his bounty hunting business.
In the fourth scene, Beelzebub used Towa's device to teleport to Ledas' house. He startled the Saiyan, who was in the kitchen making a mango smoothie. The prince drank some of the smoothie and when Ledas asked him how he teleported there, Beelzebub held up Towa's device, asking Ledas if he wanted the technical explanation. He did not. Beelzebub explained that he had returned to Earth because his aunt, Towa, had tried to take over the Demon Realm while Beelzebub had been gone. She had imprisoned his mother and executed many loyal demons. He had formally banished Towa after learning about that, and so now he needed Ledas' help to execute her before she returned and started a rebellion. Ledas agreed to help.
Beelzebub noticed that Ledas' house was different than last time. The boy mentioned that the previous house had been destroyed by someone. The demon decided to leave his teleportation device in the house, as if Towa didn't know where it was, she couldn't return to the Demon Realm. He asked the Saiyan if he could sense her. Ledas could. Beelzebub told him that he had sent his aunt to Earth several days ago, which shocked the other boy. He asked the demon how strong his aunt was, but Beelzebub didn't know because he couldn't sense energy, but given how strong his father was (Towa being Dabura's sister), he assumed she was extremely powerful as well. Ledas could tell, at least, that she was stronger than Beelzebub. Beelzebub begged Ledas to kill her and to pretend this was their first bounty. Ledas agreed, stating that he wanted to kill her quickly so that she couldn't destroy the Earth if she became desperate.
In the fifth scene, Towa was hiding out on an island far south of South Island, tinkering with a small device. She resolved to make a new teleportation device with materials on Earth, though she knew she had to keep her head down, lest the Z Fighters find her. She cursed her luck, for Beelzebub had returned to the Demon Realm at the worst possible time. She fantasized about returning and killing him when she sensed her nephew and another unknown ki signature (which was nowhere near her level). Realizing this could be her chance to reclaim her teleportation device, the demon flew off to confront them.
In the sixth scene, Ledas realized that Towa was coming for them, though she suppressed her ki. He fired ki blasts into the ocean until he found where she was hiding. Towa flew up to meet them. She grew confident, for she realized that Ledas could suppress his ki as well. She promised to kill him if he tried to run. Beelzebub flew away from the two, allowing Ledas to begin the fight.
Ledas transformed into a Super Saiyan, which startled the demon. She was still unafraid until he told her that he wasn't done transforming. Towa immediately pointed her staff at Beelzebub, encasing him in a red ball of ki which floated over to her. She threatened to kill her nephew if Ledas tried to attack her. Beelzebub contacted Ledas through telepathy, but as soon as he did, Ledas freaked out. Towa realized what Beelzebub had attempted to do, but felt no less confident about her chances. She fired off an attack at the Saiyan. He teleport-dodged it, moving behind her as he transformed into a Super Saiyan 2. The boy's increased speed caught Towa by surprise. He punched her hard in the back, causing her to drop Beelzebub and her staff. Ledas caught the demon prince and broke him out of the ki bubble, then sprinted over to Towa, catching her by the ankle before she hit the water.
She demanded that he let her go, so he did. The boy followed that up with a savage combo of attacks that sent Towa flying all around, briefly knocking her unconscious at one point. When she tried to spit fire at him, Ledas hit her in the forehead with a controlled Feral attack that surged ki through his fist and out the back of her skull, killing her. He incinerated her corpse with a Kyorra Flash.
Beelzebub flew over to him, very pleased. He knew that the two of them would soon become rich bounty hunters, given how strong Leda was. He thought of his father, his mother, his aunt, and his kingdom. He swore to himself that he would be a better king than his father and would use the wealth he acquired from bounty hunting to help his kingdom prosper.
Monkeyboy's First Vacation[]
In the third scene of chapter 5, on June 15, Age 776, Mr. Ohano, Mrs. Ohano, Shoekki, Ryori, Jia, and Ledas went on a whale-watching trip. The Ohanos were on deck with Shoekki (with most of the other passengers) while Ledas and Ryori were in the cabin. Jia joined the boys inside, as it was really cold. Ryori was in rough shape, suffering from seasickness.
Ledas was eating food while talking to Beelzebub on a hand-held device. Ledas told Beelzebub about bounty hunting the skinchangers, making loads of zeni. He had officially completed the Starchasers' second bounty. Beelzebub congratulated him, though he lamented the payment had been in Earth's currency, as that wouldn't help them buy a planet. Ledas asked if he had checked the galactic registry for any high-paying bounties. He confirmed there were several high-level bounties listed that they could go after. Ledas swore he'd be up for the challenge. Beelzebub said he was coming to Earth in a week before they said their goodbyes.
Chasers Can't Be Choosers[]
In the first scene of chapter 1, on June 25, Age 776, Beelzebub, Ledas, Ryori, and Carawa visited the Moxabalan Asteroid Belt. This was three days after capturing their first bounty together, Lily-Livered Lugabalos, who had commanded a bounty of ₩7,500,000. Theo informed them that the asteroid belt contained many restaurants. In celebration of their recent success, Ledas asked him to consult Space Yelp and take them to the highest-rated restaurant. Theo piloted them to the parking lot of Salty Salpico. Ryori was dubious of the name, though Ledas was able to convince him to join them inside after promising to vaporize the place if Ryori got food poisoning from it.
Inside, Beelzebub scanned the area with his galactic datapad, finding that no one with a significant bounty had been inside there in over three months. Beelz knew they needed to capture as many bounties as possible to be able to buy a planet on which to establish their galactic outpost. Beelzebub grew annoyed at a trio of frog-faced aliens singing karaoke poorly, trying his best not to let them distract him. He noticed there were not many people in the restaurant. Several were passed out at their tables after consuming too much alcohol, while a few more were lounging at the bar. Beelz was sad that none of the patrons were women.
A Faerin server brought them to their booth and handed out menus. Ledas was set on ordering a Pomuhedra smoothie, while Beelzebub eyed the barbeque galin wings. Carawa ordered a hegodorian smoothie with whipped cream. Ryori and Beelz ordered a bottle of Seplaro rum as well as several other bottles of alcohol. The Faerin server carded both of them. Ryori presented a fake ID that stated he was twenty-two years old (he had used his age adjuster for the picture). The Faerin had never seen a human before, so he allowed Ryori to drink.
He took Beelzebub's Demon Realm driver's license and was shocked to learn he was apparently 2515 years old. The server was ready to call shenanigans until Beelzebub informed him he was a demon. He allowed him to drink, calling him "Fiend Prince" Beelzebub, which had been his official title on his driver's license. Ledas found that highly amusing. Beelz informed him that that title had been given to him at birth. Ryori thought Beelzebub was the King of the Demon Realm, but he explained that he hadn't held the official ceremony yet. He invited Ryori and Ledas to it, whenever it was to happen.
After receiving their drinks, the crew toasted their last success and got drunk (sans Ledas). Letting the alcohol sink in, the boys began arguing about the name of their bounty hunting group. Beelzebub and Ryori preferred Demon Hunters Incorporated™, but Ledas was vehemently against it.
Just then, Akashiyaki entered the restaurant, immediately running over to the nearest table and stealing food off someone's plate. Beelzebub scanned him with the datapad, learning that Akashiyaki had a ₩8,500,000 bounty on his head for hundreds of counts of stealing food, inking pools, swimming while drunk, and stealing newspapers from libraries. Importantly, he was wanted alive, not dead. Ryori pushed Akashiyaki away when he drew near their table, denying him the opportunity to steal their galin wings. Beelzebub realized he wasn't a fighter.
He decided to take the lead, confronting Akashiyaki at the bar (while an irate customer was ranting at the octopus). Revealing he knew Akashiyaki had a bounty on his head, Beelz informed him he was going to take him in. Upon hearing this, the octopus grew anxious, inking Beelzebub in the face before fleeing. The move had taken the Fiend Prince by surprise; he was unable to wipe the ink out of his eyes before Akashiyaki got away. Ledas walked over, amused. Beelzebub was none too pleased that he'd allowed Akashiyaki to get away. Ledas reminded him that he'd promised to capture the bounty. He wasn't going to step in. Beelzebub demanded they pursue Akashiyaki to wherever he was headed, reminding Ledas that he was wanted alive.
Ledas tried to lighten the mood by calling Akashiyaki an "octopussy", but the joke didn't land with Ryori. Beelzebub found it amusing. Ryori and Carawa scarfed down their food so that they could leave in a timely manner.
In the parking lot, Ledas threw the capsule containing his ship, and they scurried inside, Beelzebub saying that he would capture Akashiyaki, asking Ledas to take a supportive role, which he obliged to do.
In the second scene, a few minutes later, Theodosius tracked Akashiyaki through space. Beelzebub was at the command console, watching this go down while Carawa played on his Switch on the couch and Ledas and Ryori set up the massage table. Theo stated that Akashiyaki was headed to Chelbalos, which was located 5.3 light-years away. He estimated they'd reach the planet in approximately four hours.
Beelz asked for a rundown of the planet and a close-up of Akashiyaki's ship. Theo provided the close-up. Beelz told everyone else to remember what that looked like. Ledas was nonchalant, soaking in his massage, barely paying attention. Ryori found that most endearing. Theo gave them a run-down of the planet, noting that the city of Torgbos was a dry town. Halcuria, the only other city on the planet, was a casino town that featured many bars and Nil lounges.
Ledas proposed they start searching there. He would search Torgbos while Ryori, Carawa, and Beelz would search Halcuria for Akashiyaki. Beelzebub offered up a bet. Whoever found Akashiyaki first would win a meal from the other. Ledas took him on. Beelz came over, telling them about Akashiyaki's rapsheet. He had been hit with 581 counts of swimming while intoxicated, 384 counts of stealing food without paying, 98 counts of inking the pool, and 65 counts of stealing newspapers from galactic libraries.
After finishing massaging Ledas, Ryori offered to massage Beelzebub. Beelzebub denied him that request, believing he was a shit masseuse. Ryori offered everyone a cup of pineapple-mango juice. Carawa, Beelzebub, and Ledas desired the drink. When he poured Ledas', he splashed a droplet of Bitrex into it, gleefully attempting to troll Ledas. Carawa, Beelz, and Ryori took their drinks, while Ledas remained on the massage table. He needed to cool off after what Ryori had done to him.
Once he did, he came over to the command console to retrieve his juicy prize. After taking a swig, he retched, dropping the glass to shatter on the ground as he vomited. Ledas ran over to the sink, grabbing a handful of paper towels to wipe off his tongue. Ryori told him about the Bitrex.
Ledas was not amused by the prank. Ryori admitted he had only gotten the Bitrex from Shoekki, who'd confiscated it at the security screening checkpoint at Dream Land. He had been curious to see if it was as bitter as advertised. Afterward, they played Smash, with Beelzebub claiming Mr. Satan, as he was a most overpowered character in that game.
In the first scene of chapter 2, Beelzebub, Ledas, Ryori, and Carawa landed at the Halcuria space port in Chelbalos. A port attendant tried to get them to pay the docking fee, but Ledas returned the spaceship to a capsule and refused. When the attendant insisted they pay, Beelzebub used Stone Spit to turn the man into stone, promising to reverse the process after they left the planet. Ledas and Ryori found the technique very cool.
Outside, they found the city thrumming with life. Beelzebub was overwhelmed by how colorful everything was and how packed the streets were. Ledas said his goodbyes, noting that he was going to search the city of Torgbos while they searched Halcuria. He asked them to call him if they ran into any problems. Then, he kicked off into the sky, disappearing in a flash.
Beelz, Ryori, and Carawa began their search for Akashiyaki. Moving amongst the crowds, they found a casino called Flying Aces and went inside to continue their investigation. Beelzebub asked Ryori not to get involved if they found Akashiyaki, as he could be killed in the scuffle, which would be annoying to deal with. Ryori said he'd just film the encounter and play slots. Beelzebub rebuked him, saying they needed all of their woolongs to buy a planet so they could establish an intergalactic base. Ryori didn't back down, causing Beelz to threaten to turn him to stone. Ryori didn't believe him, noting that if he did that, Ledas would kill him. Beelzebub backed down, asking him not to gamble away too much money.
Inside the casino, they got distracted by a VR video game setup, with Ryori playing Lot Lizard Simulator 14 and Beelzebub playing Local God of a Medium-sized Backwater World. Carawa took videos of them playing with Ryori's phone. Just then, Cavatel and Saccottine, a pair of bounty hunters, came over and began playing the game with Beelzebub. Beelz grew annoyed, as they were far better than him. After losing the game, Beelzebub was ready to leave when Cavatel bet him ₩40,000 to play again. His pride couldn't allow him to sulk off, so he tried to beat Cavatel again. Of course, he lost, which was to be expected. Saccottine offered him double or nothing on another game, but he refused to play anymore, as he had noticed Ryori had drifted over to the slot machines and needed to stop him from blowing all their money.
Beelz tried to get Ryori to stop betting so much, but he refused. After he hit a decent prize, Beelzebub briefly got transfixed on the slots as well. However, they didn't hit another big prize, which drained their money, and he grew impatient with the game.
He noticed an employee in a fancy suit and walked over to him to ask him about Akashiyaki. The man was the casino's floor manager. He explained Akashiyaki's game and showed the man a holographic projection of what he looked like. The floor manager recognized the octopus, saying he had created a commotion in the Spordadios restaurant on the third floor of the casino about three hours earlier before being chased out by security.
Beelzebub suspected Akashiyaki was still in the city, so he whistled for Ryori to join him. Cavatel and Saccottine overheard them discussing their plan and came over. Cavatel had heard of Akashiyaki before, declaring he would catch the thief. Beelzebub told him to buzz off. Cavatel was most surprised that Beelz was a bounty hunter. Ryori told them Beelzebub was the Prince of the Demon Realm, but they didn't seem to believe him. Neither side backed down, so Beelzebub threatened to kill them if they didn't leave him alone. Cavatel was unfazed, agreeing to fight Beelzebub to the death.
Beelz threw himself at Cavatel, destroying a slot machine. They began to fight, at which point the floor manager, flanked by a large group of security guards, confronted them, demanding they leave the premises, as fighting was not allowed. Beelzebub apologized and left the building, Ryori and Carawa on his heels.
Outside, Cavatel and Saccottine confronted him again. Cavatel reminded his companion that he was about to use his ace move, Paralyzing Resonance. Beelzebub had no clue what that was. His fight with Cavatel commenced at once. Ryori filmed it on his phone while Saccottine and Carawa watched. Cavatel's speed took Beelzebub by surprise, allowing him to land several blows. As Beelzebub grew into the fight, he began to put Cavatel on the defensive. Just then, Cavatel used his Paralyzing Resonance, which was a kiai-style attack, to paralyze Beelzebub. While Beelzebub was paralyzed, Cavatel hit him several times.
When the Paralyzing Resonance's power waned, Beelzebub charged up to his maximum power and began to fight the shrimpy man again. He was about to overwhelm him when Cavatel used Paralyzing Resonance again. Saccottine jumped into the fight, slamming Beelzebub into the side of a building. As he struggled to get up, Beelzebub was hit with another Paralyzing Resonance. This one almost knocked him unconscious. Cavatel and Saccottine hit him repeatedly while he was paralyzed, draining his stamina. When he regained his movement, Cavatel just hit him with another Paralyzing Resonance (he was an unrepentant spammer) before punching him into a wall. Bystanders all around were fleeing in terror.
Cavatel threw Beelz onto the ground, forcing him to give up chasing Akashiyaki. Beelzebub pleaded for his life. Cavatel warned him not to pursue the octopus again, as next time, he wouldn't be so forgiving. The bounty hunters regrouped, thinking that Akashiyaki had already left the planet. They quickly flew off, hoping to catch him in the next world.
Beelzebub told Ryori that he had lied and that he was still going to pursue Akashiyaki. Ryori didn't believe he could beat the bounty hunters, thinking the fight was best left to Ledas. Beelz rejected that, stating he could easily beat the bounty hunters if he had access to his Power of Darkness. He explained that he could access the state after absorbing moonlight. Beelzebub began the ritual, which Ryori filmed, instantly feeling his body rejuvenate and surge with power.
In the second scene, after Ledas scoured Torgbos for Akashiyaki, he flew back to Halcuria and contacted Beelzebub, updating him on Akashiyaki's whereabouts. He waited for them at the Halcuria space port. When they arrived, he tossed Ryori a water bottle and asked what had happened to Beelzebub, as he was beat up. Ryori told him about the fight against the bounty hunters. Beelzebub promised that if they came across those men again, he would kill them. He also said that as a demon, he could regenerate incredibly fast, so he'd be good to go within a few hours at most.
Inside, the group planned their next move. Beelz thought they should ambush Akashiyaki in a restaurant, as that's where he always seemed to gravitate toward. He also complained about having Ryori tag along with him, as it slowed him down. Ledas reminded Ryori that he didn't have to stick around with them, as Carawa was his bodyguard (and stronger than most people in the universe), but if he wanted to, that was cool too.
Ryori revealed he had won ₩432,000 at the slots. Ledas had not known he was a degenerate gambler. Ledas threw Ryori another water bottle. They were drinking as much as they could.
Beelzebub booted up Theo as they took off, asking for them to be taken to the nearest planet. Harbolian was located 2.4 light-years away and had a sizeable population, so they set their sights there. Beelzebub asked Ledas and Ryori why they were drinking so much water. Ledas advised him that he wouldn't want to know. Beelzebub lamented how water was a precious resource in the Demon Realm, and it appeared Ledas and Ryori were wasting tons. Ledas promised they weren't, which unnerved Beelz.
In the first scene of chapter 3, Beelzebub, Ledas, Ryori, and Carawa visited the Mollusk Munching Madness restaurant on Harbolian. They had been searching around the planet for Akashiyaki (mostly in restaurants), but hadn't found him yet. Disheartened and hungry, they decided to get a bite to eat before continuing their search. When they ordered, Ledas complained about the price. Beelz reminded him that they had run out of their supplies from Earth, which quickly made him shut up.
It wasn't long before they received their food. Beelzebub thought it was mediocre at best. He wasn't the biggest seafood fan. His mind began to wander. He grew anxious about catching Akashiyaki. Ledas tried to quell his nerves, reminding him that the bounty's price had updated only a few minutes ago after Akashiyaki had terrorized a restaurant called Palumbo’s, which was not far from them. Since Akashiyaki had been kicked out, he would likely be looking for another restaurant to have fun in, which was why it was for the best they remained where they were. Ledas was just surprised he couldn't sense the octopus. Ki suppression was a wild skill for someone as weak as him to possess.
Ryori didn't like the food, rating it three out of ten. Beelzebub thought he was being overly harsh, giving the restaurant a seven out of ten. They began to bicker when the front door opened, and in strode Akashiyaki. He wasted no time in snatching a bulocalamari stick from a woman. She was none too pleased with the theft. He ate it in front of her without a care in the world. Beelz leapt into the air, landing between the woman and Akashiyaki. Without mercy, he pummeled the octopus onto the floor and tied him up with ki-restraining space steel zip ties.
Ledas walked over, gleeful over the space woolongs they'd get for turning him in. Akashiyaki begged them to let him go. Beelzebub wasn't having it. The irate woman demanded that Akashiyaki pay for a new bulocalamari stick. She also wanted a refund in general because of the so-called terrible service. Beelz asked her to go away and deal with that herself, as she was a hideous swamp creature who was foul to look upon. After giving him a death stare, the woman marched off, screaming for a manager.
Akashiyaki pleaded with Leeds and Beelz to let him go, offering to pay three times his bounty. They didn't believe he had the money, telling him that his bounty had risen to ₩10,200,000. Beelzebub confirmed the price by showing Akashiyaki his datapad. Akashiyaki told them to take his space debit card out of his pocket and withdraw the money from his account. He told them the PIN, promising he had enough money to pay for his release. Ledas and Beelzebub went along with it, although they shared a silent moment where they made sure they were on the same page with what was about to happen.
At a space ATM down the street, they got into his account, noticing he had ₩71,406,114 in total. Ledas and Beelzebub agreed to take it all, which horrified Akashiyaki. Being a wanted criminal, however, he had no recourse. When Akashiyaki protested, Beelz punched him in the throat. He fell over, causing a bit of a commotion on the street. Akashiyaki protested again, but the boys weren't having it. They were taking his money and then turning him in to the Galactic Patrol. They dragged him back to the restaurant, Akashiyaki trying to talk his way out of his shackles to no avail. Having heard enough of the octopus' bloviating, Beelz snatched a grease-stained fast food bag from the side of the road and threw it over his head.
They regrouped with Ryori and Carawa, bringing them up to speed on the situation. Beelzebub wanted to leave at once, while Ryori wanted to stay and experience the Great Palgam Bocchi Festival. Ledas backed his fiancé, which grated on Beelzebub's nerves. It was, however, two votes against one, so there was nothing he could do. Beelzebub was none too pleased. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to relent.
In the second scene, moments later, the four entered the festival, which was in full swing and packed with people. They started off trying a bunch of the street food before Ledas spotted the shack containing a guy who could smoke a hundred Nil sticks at once. They decided to check it out. They had to wear gas masks, and it cost ₩1500 apiece to enter (they didn't bother buying one for Akashiyaki). They found a crocodilian alien inside. His snout was adorned with more Nil sticks than they could count. The guy didn't really do anything, though, except make repetitive poses, so the gang left.
They returned to the street vendors, loading up on food samples. Ledas and Ryori had some alcohol. Ledas even gave Akashiyaki two shots to make him more malleable. Beelz refused to have any, as he was worried about the octopus man getting away. On the next street, they played a game of mudstick slappy for ₩1200 apiece. Ryori came in third place. They had to get hosed off afterward, which kind of sucked since the water was cold.
They came across an area where people could feed a Metalman pails of lava. There was a burn unit and a children's burn unit for those who got a bit of lava on them. The group was not interested in participating. Next, they watched a procession of naked dancers come down the street as music played. Most of them were women, which Beelzebub and Ledas enjoyed. Ryori found the display grotesque. They remained there until the dancers moved onto the next street.
Ledas noticed a fortunetelling hut located nearby that he wanted to visit. Beelzebub said that fortunetelling was fake, which, of course, Ledas knew. He just wanted to see what nonsense the guy inside came up with. Beelzebub agreed to take part if they left the planet afterward. Ledas said they would.
The fortuneteller's name was Ulcerin. He charged ₩7500 per customer. Before they entered the building, Ledas asked them not to help Ulcerin with his readings or tell him anything he says is wrong. Only then could they understand the depth of his nonsense. Ulcerin was a fat man who wore an extreme amount of jewelry. He had a partially absorbed parasitic twin poking out from his stomach. The head could blink and open its mouth, but it could not talk. It watched them.
Ryori went first. Ulcerin told him he could become a fashion and adult content photographer if he reached his full potential. Otherwise, he would be a construction worker or mass-production sculptor. Ledas stepped up next. Ulcerin stated that if Ledas was lazy and did not reach his potential, he would amount to nothing more than a bartender and part-time gloryhole operator. If he did achieve his goals, he could become a galaxy-renowned space opera singer. Ledas thanked him for the reading, lying that becoming a singer had been his life's dream. Finally, Ulcerin gave Beelzebub his reading. He believed Beelz was an addict who would have to sell his body on the street to pay for drugs. If he achieved his full potential, however, he believed Beelz could become a middle manager at a fast-food restaurant. They thanked Ulcerin and left.
Outside, the trio had a bemused conversation about how wrong the fortuneteller had been. Beelz thought that the prediction that Ledas could become a famous singer was absurd, as he'd never heard him sing before. Ryori noted that he sometimes sang after having sex or in the shower. Ledas defended his voice, stating he was a great singer, although he didn't know what opera was. Ryori confirmed it was a horrible genre. Beelzebub laughed about Ryori's fortune, as him taking racy photographs of women was about the last thing he'd ever do.
Just then, Cavatel flew into Beelzebub, kicking him into a fruit stand. Cavatel and Saccottine landed next to Ryori, Ledas, Carawa, and Akashiyaki. A lot of people ran off, fleeing the scene in a panic. Cavatel rebuked Beelzebub for continuing to pursue Akashiyaki, swearing he could kill him for his insolence. Beelzebub just wanted to fight him already. He was tired of hearing Cavatel speak.
They rushed at each other, Cavatel going on the offensive at first. Beelzebub took a battering, as Cavatel's speed and strength were superior. Nevertheless, he warned Ledas not to step in, claiming to have everything under control. Ledas grew impatient, though, as he considered the bounty hunters to be weak. Neither Cavatel nor Saccottine believed anyone on their team could best them.
Finally, Cavatel used his Paralyzing Resonance, which washed over Beelzebub. He and Saccottine relaxed, believing they had beaten Beelzebub. Just then, Beelz unleashed his Power of Darkness, powering up massively, and shattered through the paralyzing force, knocking Cavatel over. The skies darkened as he took on the form. Without wasting time, Beelzebub rushed at Cavatel, slicing his face open with his Darkness Scratch. The open wounds exploded seconds later, killing Cavatel. Saccottine tried to avenge his friend, but Beelz quickly dealt with him by punching his claw through his chest.
Beelzebub relaxed, releasing the Power of Darkness. Ledas was greatly impressed by the fight. Beelzebub told him about the Power of Darkness and how his father had taught it to him a long time ago. Just then, Beelzebub noticed Akashiyaki was gone. With horror, Ledas saw that the energy bindings he was holding were not attached to anything any longer. Ryori knew Ledas had been distracted by watching the fight. The bounty must have just gotten away.
They heard a roar in the sky and watched Akashiyaki's ship disappear into space. Ledas threw the capsule containing his spaceship, and the group quickly ran inside. Theodosius appeared at the central console. Beelzebub ordered him to pursue Akashiyaki at once. Theo took command of the ship. They took off, leaving Harbolian, and pursued Akashiyaki through space.
In the first scene of chapter 4, on June 28, Age 776, Beelzebub, Ledas, Ryori, and Carawa landed on Dalon IV after following Akashiyaki to the city of Whalupalavu. They had tracked Akashiyaki there. Ledas tortured Shebal Kaum in a prison made up of his own ki on the spaceship before returning it to a capsule in his pocket.
They entered the docks, where many employees and travelers were. Beelz asked a nearby employee if she knew where Akashiyaki had landed, showing her a model of the ship on his wrist-pad. The dock attendant found that question highly inappropriate and refused to answer. Ledas said they were on official Galactic Patrol business and showed her a hand-drawn bounty hunting license, but the attendant didn't care, as she stated Dalon IV's government didn't recognize the Galactic Patrol's authority. Ledas conjured an Ice Cannon, threatening her life if she didn't take them to the ship.
The attendant capitulated at once, escorting them to the proper hangar after consulting her datapad. Without a second thought, Ledas destroyed the ship with a Kyorra Flash. The boys shared a gleeful moment, knowing Akashiyaki was stranded on the planet. Ledas and Beelzebub were eager to begin hunting the octopus man, while Ryori and Carawa were more interested in tasting the local cuisine. They decided to split off. Beelz and Ledas shot off into the air, leaving the others behind.
They entered the city of Whalupalavu, noticing it had once been a Planet Trade Organization outpost, as it had retained several buildings from that time. While they were searching, they received notifications on their wrist-pads that Akashiyaki's bounty had been raised by ₩45,000 after he'd messed around at the Grand Tataboan Hotel. Theo guided them toward the hotel.
On the way over, they noticed a woman, covered in ink and on her knees, crying by a pool. She revealed Akashiyaki had stolen her Syfilunga Mimosa drink before ranting about how he'd torn her dress. She demanded that the constable (whoever that was) refund her for her dress. She told them which direction Akashiyaki had run off to before demanding a refund for her drink as well. Having heard enough, Beelzebub spat on her, turning her to stone. Ledas didn't think that was necessary. Beelz said there was a fifty-fifty chance he'd turn her back after they left the planet.
They returned to the air to search for the bounty. In under a minute, Beelzebub spotted Akashiyaki in a nearby resort getting a massage from a Zar-degar woman. They decided to land and sneak up on Akashiyaki. Akashiyaki was so focused on instructing the masseuse where to massage him that he didn't notice Beelz until he was right next to them.
In a panic, Akashiyaki shot up and ran off, accidentally hitting the masseuse aside and knocking her into the pool. Ledas and Beelzebub chased after him. They moved through the crowded streets, Akashiyaki using the swarms of people to his advantage. Beelz's first lunge overshot Akashiyaki. Ledas shot several ki blasts at him, trying to slow him down. Unfortunately, he also hit several pedestrians. When Beelz caught back up, Ledas backed off, allowing him to attempt to catch Akashiyaki.
The octopus man ran into a nearby resort. They followed him through the lobby until he reached the pool out back and dove in. Then, Beelzebub jumped into the water, quickly swimming down Akashiyaki and pinning him to the floor while utilizing his Metallization. Ledas got into the water and snatched Akashiyaki, returning him to the surface. Beelzebub reversed his Metallization and joined them on dry land. Ledas pinned Akashiyaki to the ground, preparing to bind him up when the bastard inked him in the face. In revulsion, Ledas fell back, spitting ink and letting Akashiyaki get away.
They chased him out of the resort and into a nearby restaurant. Akashiyaki snatched a stick of butter from a waiter who was carrying a basket of bread, causing the man to fall over. Nevertheless, they boxed him in, finally stopping Akashiyaki at the back wall. In a panic, Akashiyaki smeared the butter all over his body. He told them that he had been to Dalon IV many times and had been tracked by many bounty hunters. He always got away because he knew the city well. He knew where to sneak off to. Then, he thrust himself into a small hole in the wall, sucking himself inside. They had not expected that at all. Ledas prepared to destroy the wall and continue their pursuit, but Beelz asked him not to, as they'd catch bounties for doing that.
Several tables of people began mocking Ledas and Beelzebub for failing to catch Akashiyaki. Beelz felt intense shame, though he told himself that their opinions didn't matter and he'd never see them again in an attempt to cheer himself up.
In the second scene, after Ryori seemingly paralyzed Akashiyaki with Bitrex, he contacted Beelz and Leeds on their Bluetooth devices, telling them where he was and that he had caught Akashiyaki. Carawa went outside to fire a flare into the sky so that they could get there quickly. Beelzebub and Ledas promised to hurry over.
In the third scene, on July 2, Age 776, Ledas, Beelzebub, and Ryori brought Shebal Kaum and Akashiyaki to Galactic Patrol Penal Colony 114. They met with a Galactic Patrolman named Namazaka, who offered to pay the bounties. Namazaka seared a numerical tag on Akashiyaki's arm with a laser before releasing him to a drone that had descended from the hazy mist overhead. Akashiyaki threw himself to the ground, pleading with Namazaka to let him go. He told him about how Ledas and Beelzebub had stolen all of his money. The Patrolman wasn't hearing it, though, refusing to set him free. The drone took Akashiyaki up into the sky, no doubt to place him in a cell.
Next up was Shebal Kaum. Namazaka seared a numerical tag into his arm as well. Shebal threatened Ledas, swearing that he'd come after him as soon as he got out. Ledas didn't care. Another drone descended from above and flew off with Shebal.
Namazaka offered them ₩14,725,050 in total for the bounties, although he asked them for their organization's name first, as he needed to document the transaction on his datapad. Beelzebub explained that they didn't have a name yet. The last penal colony had paid them in cash. That wouldn't be possible here, as Namazaka's prison was cashless. Ledas and Beelzebub argued about the name for a minute before Namazaka informed them that if they didn't have a name, he couldn't pay them. He was about to go on break as well, so they had to decide then and there.
Ledas complained about chasing Akashiyaki across the stars without getting paid. That gave Ryori an idea—they could call themselves the Starchasers. At first, Beelzebub and Ledas weren't too sure, thinking it was a tad lame. When Namazaka threatened to walk out on them, Beelz gave in, agreeing with Ryori. While Ledas didn't like it, he agreed to go along with the if it meant getting paid.
Namazaka added them to the database and transferred the money into their account, congratulating them for becoming an officially recognized bounty-hunting team. While the money was good, Ledas still couldn't help but feel peeved, as he considered Starchasers to be a lame name. He knew that despite Ryori's contributions toward that, he'd be going down on him later that night.
The One with Several No Good Rotten Space Vermin[]
In the first scene of this story, Ledas visited Admiral Nectarian of the Planet Trade Organization in order to purchase Xii, formerly known as Planet Cooler 092, for his intergalactic bounty hunting business with Beelzebub. In the second scene, after Ledas killed the space pirates on Xii's surface, Beelzebub contacted him, telling him that the next bounty was staying on Jwe-Iko-Pok (formerly Planet Cooler 103) and that the price would be the same if he was captured dead or alive. Ledas resolved to kill him. With all the information conveyed to the Saiyan, Beelzebub ended their communication.
Dragon Ball: Cold Vengeance[]
In chapter 2, while Ledas was trying to relax on Niflheim, Beelzebub contacted him in his earpiece to alert him that he was near Kharhone, where the wanted criminal Kohitsu laired. Ledas told him he would get around to that bounty soon, and cut off their communications after, as he took a break from bounty hunting.
Dragon Ball: Heart of the Dragon[]
West City Saga[]
In the bonus chapter, on September 9th, Age 777, Beelzebub and Ledas tracked a bounty to a bar on Nyare. He was an alien of Sūi's species named Farfel. Ledas, an alcoholic drink in his hand, chased the man out of the bar and into the desert where he took to the sky, fleeing in dismay. Ledas was going to take him out with an energy beam when he noticed Beelzebub bearing down on the alien. Beelzebub easily cut Farfel off, preventing him from getting away. He asked the man where he was going. Farfel realized the pair who were chasing him were bounty hunters. He tried to attack Beelzebub but couldn't land a hit. The demon spit on Farfel, turning him to stone. The man fell from the sky, shattering into hundreds of pieces in the dunes below.
Beelzebub descended to the ground where Ledas was waiting for him. He was unconcerned that he'd killed Farfel. Ledas wasn't happy with him, saying the bounty would be reduced to half now that Farfel was dead. Beelzebub didn't care about the money, preferring that a man like Farfel was no longer around. He was surprised Ledas was acting so greedy. Ledas just thought they could've done better. He asked Beelzebub to collect the pieces, confirming with him that he could turn Farfel back to normal, as otherwise, the bounty collectors would think they were delivering a statue. Beelzebub did so, splattering blood and guts across the sands. Ledas was unwilling to carry the pieces back to their ship, demanding Beelz do it himself, as he had been responsible for making the mess in the first place. He was roasting in the heat, so he air-dashed back to the ship with great speed. Beelzebub used telekinesis to bring Farfel's remains back with him as he flew after Ledas.
Pontas Pilot[]
In the first scene of this story, on January 17, Age 780, Monaka delivered a copy of the latest issue of The Yardratian to Beelzebub at the Starchasers' base on Xikal. Monaka thanked Beelzebub for using his company and asked him to use it again in the future. Beelzebub thanked him and told him that the narcissism of the pretentious snobs detailed inside the magazine sustained him. That demonic reasoning spooked Monaka. He jumped in his ship and flew away with great haste.
The Great Sushi-Eating Contest[]
At the start of this story, Ledas returned to Earth from deep space and met with Beelzebub in an abandoned parking lot in West City. There, he presented the skulls of thirty-six low-level criminals that he had killed. Beelzebub paid him handsomely, and Ledas gave him some space candy corn. Then, he alerted Ledas to a new bounty that had been posted for Haimaru and Raimie, the twin children of Cooler. He agreed to take the bounty and promised more food for his friend when he returned.
