Biography[]

Dragon Ball Super[]

"Future" Trunks Saga[]

Main article: "Future" Trunks Saga Watagash is captured by Jaco, however when Jaco stops off to have ramen, Watagash manages to escape and fly to Earth.

The first host that Watagash infects is a bank robber whom is defeated by Gohan in his Great Saiyaman persona. Watagash leaves the robber's unconscious body and is later spotted escaping into the sewers by Gohan.

Later, hiding in the bushes, Watagash finds a new host in the form of Barry Kahn, who was angry after being humiliated by Gohan for trying to falsely accuse him for having an affair with Coco Amaguri. Feeling more empowered than ever, Barry attacks Gohan and kidnaps his daughter, Pan in order to draw him out to the public. During his fight with Gohan, Watagash continues to infect Barry with the darkness inside him, eventually transforming him into a huge monster. While overwhelming Gohan at first, Gohan later transforms into a Super Saiyan and separates Barry from Watagash. Unfortunately for Watagash, he is captured once more by Jaco, who headed off to space. Later, while eating cup noodles, Watagash escapes again due to Jaco's ignorance.

Power[]

Watagash's power is dependent on his host; the more evil they are, the more powerful Watagash will be. While controlling the younger robber, Watagash proved to be able to keep up with base Gohan somewhat, though he was defeated with a single kick followed by a Great Saiyaman Beam. In his base Barry Kahn infected form, he managed to knock out Gohan with a surprise attack, who ended up shielding Videl and Pan from the blow. In his powered up form, he is able to match Gohan in terms of power, although Gohan is able to use his vastly superior training and speed to gain the upper hand. In his giant monster form, he is able to overwhelm base Gohan, but in turn is overwhelmed by Super Saiyan Gohan's Super Great Saiyaman Beam - with Gohan revealing he held back his power to avoid killing Barry.

Techniques and Special Abilities[]

  • Flight - Watagash is capable of flight, as shown when it flew to Earth. He can also imbue his hosts with the ability to use ki-based flight.
  • Survivability - Watagash is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space.
  • Infection - Being a parasite, Watagash is capable of taking control of whomever it chooses, it is lured by the darkness in people's hearts and infects them. It is then capable of powering them up, the more evil they are the greater the power up.
    • Pump Up - When Watagash infects a target it is able to massively increase their muscles mass in order to have greater combat capabilities.
    • Transformation - When infecting a host with a substantial amount of darkness in their heart, Watagash is capable of causing them to undergo at least two different transformations.
  • Eye Laser - Watagash's primary technique in his giant monster form, he charges eye lasers in both eyes and then fires them together as one powerful beam. The beams are powerful enough to damage Gohan in his base state however upon going Super Saiyan the beam proved ineffective and was useless against the Super Great Saiyaman Beam with the attack being outright destroyed
