Mechikabura shifts into his perfect state

Mechikabura initially appears as a very aged member of the Demon Realm race, he has pale blue skin and white hair, his eyes are black with red irises. Mechikabura wears an outfit similar to Demigra's; however, it is primarily red in color with a black cape and pants. He also has purple Potara-like earrings and a long staff.

After wishing to be in the prime of his youth, Mechikabura loses his wrinkled appearance and no longer hunches, his hair is also much longer. Mechikabura's attire changes, resembling a Supreme Kai's, but red and black; he also gains green Potara earrings.

Personality

Mechikabura thinks little of his companions. Using Towa as a shield to protect him from harm, he tells her that such a thing as "allies" is meaningless and the only thing that matters is power. He also has some kind of animosity with the Supreme Kai of Time.

Biography

Background

Mechikabura was a candidate for the position of Supreme Kai of Time alongside Chronoa, the two were each gifted with a Tokitoki egg and competed to see who could more successfully raise the creature, with the winner being the one who would become the new Supreme Kai of Time. Mechikabura attempted to speed up the growth of his Tokitoki using dark magic, however this caused various problems. He attempted to raise a fake copy of Tokitoki named Dokidoki but this failed. At this time Demigra was Mechikabura's underling.[6]

Due to his malice, Mechikabura was sealed in a space beyond time, where he founded the Dark Empire and became the Dark King.[6] Mechikabura was sealed in the Crack of Time by Chronoa.[7]

With Mechikabura no longer present, the Dark Empire became the smaller Time Breaker faction led by Towa, who aimed to revive Mechikabura.

Mechikabura is revived

Mechikabura is revived by Towa using energy stolen from strong people; however, his body is old and he cannot move well. Towa tells him to use the Dark Dragon Balls to wish for youth so that he can take revenge on Chronoa; however, the Dark Dragon Balls scatter. Mechikabura notices one of them as it heads away, crossing space and time. Towa decides to go and get it, but Mechikabura tells her to wait, deciding to grant her Demon God powers first.

He later shows up at the Tree of Might alongside Demon God Salsa and the Dark-Masked King in order to retrieve the Four-Star Dark Dragon Ball that has merged with Xeno Turles. He orders the Dark-Masked King to deal with him but once Xeno Turles powers up after eating a piece of Fruit from the Tree of Might, he withdraws him and has Salsa deal with him instead.

Mechikabura destroys Turles

When Xeno Turles goes to attack Mechikabura directly, Mechikabura fires a single blast that lays waste to the Tree of Might and Xeno Turles and recovers the Dark Dragon Ball from him.

In the Demon Realm, Gravy and Putine report to Mechikabura that Towa and the others have recovered three of the Dark Dragon Balls and Dabura. Pleased, Mechikabura tells them to inform Towa to see him when she returns and to also bring a mask, which is to be used for their chained prisoner, Dark Broly who has merged with the Seven-Star Dark Dragon Ball.

At some point later, Dark Broly breaks free from his restraints and rampages. Seeing Demon God Towa and Xeno Paragus fail to control Dark Broly, Mechikabura simply laughs. When Mira and Xeno Goku appear and have a three way battle, Mechikabura comments that the three of them appear to have the same amount of power.

SDBH DR Ch14 3

Mechikabura appears at the hideout

Mechikabura - having escaped the Time Labyrinth - suddenly appears from a dark portal. He goes on to grant his underlings an enhanced version of their Demon God form.

After the allied Time Patrol and Demigra Army successfully break the seal to Mechikabura's lair. Mechikabura appears a top tower at their hideout, sending down a mass of dark energy that crashes down on the group below. Everyone except for Xeno Trunks is taken down which he owes in part to his Key Sword. Xeno Trunks attacks Mechikabura with his Key Sword only for him to stop it with his fingertip with ease. Xeno Trunks is easily beaten and the sword is taken from him. Mechikabura admires the sword, a construct of the Kai meant to seal away demons but realising that he is unable to destroy the weapon he tosses it far away.

SDBHDDR15-5

Mechikabura's Time Power Unleashed form

Mechikabura summons forth the previously defeated Demon Gods and having no more use for them, Mechikabura traps them in a black orb, which he then absorbs onto himself to take on his Time Power Unleashed form, growing thick horns and claws in the process. He then heads off to the Time Nest, now having the power necessary to break the seal in order to enter it, with the intention of absorbing Tokitoki.

Whilst there he demands that Old Kai hand over Tokitoki but he refuses to do so. Just then Chronoa along with Xeno Trunks, now as a Super Saiyan God, appear and Xeno Trunks goes to attack him once more. Mechikabura is impressed by Xeno Trunks' new found power, however before the battle can truly begin Fin - now in his Ultimate Evolution form - arrives to battle Xeno Trunks along with Towa who watches from nearby, concerned upon seeing Mechikabura's new form. After Xeno Trunks defeats Fin he charges towards Mechikabura, but he teleports Towa in front of him to use as a shield and Xeno Trunks' sword penetrates her. In shock, believing that they were supposed to be allies, Mechikabura tells her that such a thing is meaningless and the only thing that matters is power. Mechikabura then forms a black hole which begins to absorb everything and everyone around it as begins to absorb time itself.

SDBHDDR16-2

Mechikabura breaks free of Demigra's chains

However they are saved by Demigra and pulled back through to the now desolate Time Nest. Angry, Mechikabura attacks them as Xeno Trunks charges in as a Super Saiyan God with Demigra backing him up and lands a slash across his chest but due to him having absorbed time itself, he is now capable of instant regeneration and heals his wound. Just then the Time Patrol, Robelu and Chamel appear through a rift with Xeno Goku in possession of the Key Sword. Chronoa and Demigra shout at their comrades to buy them some time while Chronoa recharges it. While Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta remove the Potara from the unconscious Old Kai, Mechikabura easily fends off attacks from Super Saiyan Xeno Goten, Xeno Pan and Super Saiyan 4 Xeno Gohan. Super Saiyan 4 Xeno Vegito flies past Xeno Gohan and straight towards Mechikabura, piling pressure on him with a number of physical and energy based attacks. Though Mechikabura is impressed by his mortal strength, the attacks are still ineffective.

SDBHDDR16-6

Mechikabura moments from being sealed away

He suddenly finds himself caught by another chain belonging to Demigra and looks down to see that Xeno Trunks is now wielding the fully recharged Key Sword though taunts them, believing that it won't matter so long as he can regenerate from any attack. Demigra yanks Mechikabura forward and Xeno Trunks lands another strike. However this time a large seal baring Chronoa's crest appears across Mechickabura's chest. Xeno Trunks and the others have combined all four of the power of the gods, the power of darkness, the power of light, and the power of time in order to seal Mechickabura away. Xeno Trunks strikes at him one more time, sealing him away in an "Eternal Labyrinth" while Mechikabura screams out, vowing that he will find a way to escape.

He finds the Time Patrol tougher than anticipated, and decides to withdraw.

After all seven Dark Dragon Balls have been gathered, Mechikabura summons Dark Shenron atop his tower. He wishes for eternal youth, but the size of his former power means it takes Dark Shenron a long time to complete the wish. so the Demon Gods and Mira engage the Time Patrol in battle to allow Dark Shenron to complete the wish. The Demon Gods are defeated, even after Mechikabura revives them to fight the Time Patrol as a group and so the Time Patrol attempt to take down Dark Shenron before the wish can be finished. Alongside Mira (Towa absorbed) and Demon God Dabura, Mechikabura battles Xeno Trunks, Chronoa (who has unleashed the power of time) and their allies to stop them from taking down Dark Shenron. They are successful in holding them off long enough, and Mechikabura is returned to his prime. Mechikabura demonstrates his new power by easily knocking away Chronoa and Xeno Trunks when they try to attack him.

Mechikabura then returns to his tower with Chronoa, using her energy to create a Chaos Ball with which to destroy space-time. He manages to create the Chaos Ball, and summons Dark Shenron to use it. The Time Patrol reach him and attempt to stop him, but Mechikabura is able to force them to retreat.
