"It's one of Dabura's powers. Anything he spits on, turns to stone." |
Stone Spit (石化唾 Sekkatsuba) is a technique used by Dabura.
Overview[]
Dabura gathers saliva in his mouth and spits it on his opponent, who then becomes lifeless stone. The victims turn back to normal only upon Dabura's death. If the statue is destroyed and not repaired, the victim will die due to severing of body parts when the curse is undone (Piccolo was able to regenerate after Trunks broke him while he was turned into a statue due to his head still being intact.) The petrification can be negated by shedding the affected clothing the spit had landed on before it spreads to the victim's flesh, like how Gohan ripped off his glove immediately after it started turning into stone. Likewise, if the spit landed on flesh, it would be logically possible to stop the process by separating the affected limb from the body before the petrification spreads. Stone Spit is also shown to be capable of turning objects into stone as well. The spit can also be deflected, as shown during Future Trunks fight with Future Dabura.[6]
Usage[]
Dabura first uses the Stone Spit against Krillin and Piccolo.[7] He also uses it against Gohan during their battle.[8] In the anime, Dabura also tried this as a last effort to kill Majin Buu, but the infantile creature simply dodges the spit.[9]
In the Dragon Ball Super anime, Future Dabura uses Stone Spit to turn Future Trunks' sword into stone.[6] In the manga, Future Dabura uses Stone Spit to turn the Z Sword into stone, forcing Future Trunks to drop it, which shatters into pieces.[10]
