"Master, I shall fight without forgetting my pride as a Saiyan!"
— Cabba in "A Saiyan Oath! Vegeta's Resolve!"


Cabba (キャベ Kyabe) is a Saiyan from Universe 6. He is a member of Team Universe 6 and is one of its strongest fighters, and a member of the Sadala Defense Forces.

Appearance[]

Cabba full

Cabba as designed by Akira Toriyama.

Cabba is fair-skinned and of short stature and has a very slim build. Cabba's hair is black and spiky, with one bang hanging over his forehead, similar to Gohan's during the Majin Buu Saga and Tarble's in the anime. His eyes are narrow with large black pupils and his outfit has yellow straps, silver plating, a purple under piece, and a blue suit underneath with brown armbands, a brown belt, and purple shoes with grey soles. This is similar to the original uniforms worn by Saiyans before they were conscripted by Frieza. He appears to be a very young, teenage Saiyan, around 17 to 19 years of age, although he could be much older since Saiyans physically age at a much slower rate.

Personality[]

Cabba is a good-natured, polite, and humble Saiyan, but when in a fight his disposition changes to a serious, no-nonsense attitude. Contrasting the violent and arrogant nature exhibited by the vast majority of Saiyans from Universe 7, he speaks respectfully to everyone and prides himself as a protector of the weak. He is ashamed that Frost, once thought to be a close ally who he initially thought to have shared the same sense of justice; was not only a cheater but also a manipulative, cold-hearted space pirate lord who ended the wars he started to gain public support.

Cabba Vegeta

Cabba admires Vegeta, who he considers his master

In spite of (as well as due to) his good nature, when Vegeta tried to provoke him into turning into a Super Saiyan by telling him that he would kill off all of Sadala, including Cabba's family, the young Saiyan became extremely angry and transformed, attacking in rage. After finding out this was a test, he calmed himself and developed respect towards Vegeta, even calling him "Master". Due to his very polite nature, he has a very hard time making fun of others, and in fact, seems almost incapable of faking anger. This is seen when he tries to provoke Caulifla but does it in a very quiet, non-threatening way.

When he witnessed Universe 9 being erased, Cabba realized what he was fighting for and confronted Vegeta, telling him he will be eliminated from the tournament, showing that despite respecting his self-proclaimed mentor, he wanted to protect his universe even more. After being saved from Monna by Vegeta, who tells him to not forget his pride as a Saiyan and his promise to restore the erased universes, this helps Cabba to develop a newfound resolve that causes him to unlock the Super Saiyan 2 form.

Before the erasure of Universe 6, he solemnly wishes Vegeta luck on winning the Tournament of Power. After being restored by the Super Dragon Balls, Cabba is seen thanking Vegeta (unaware that it was Android 17, who was the ultimate victor and wishmaker).

During the Tournament of Time in Dragon Ball Legends, the pre-Tournament of Destroyers Cabba ends up becoming the student of the Ancient Saiyan Shallot after Cabba requests Shallot teach him how to become a Super Saiyan. As a result, he looks up to Shallot (whom he refers to as "Master") similar to how his present counterpart looks up to Vegeta (ironically Shallot himself was mentored by the pre-Saiyan conflict Vegeta).

Biography[]

Background[]

Cabba is a Saiyan born in Universe 6 on Planet Sadala. Cabba was trained by Renso, who was also his captain in the Sadala Army. At some point in the past, Cabba fought alongside Frost to stop space pirates on the planet Mayonnai, a group Frost is the leader of in secret.[3]

Dragon Ball Super[]

Universe 6 Saga[]

Main article: Universe 6 Saga Cabba is selected to participate by Vados for Team Universe 6 to combat Team Universe 7. The day of the tournament, Cabba appears on the Nameless Planet with his four other teammates: Hit, Frost, Botamo, and Auta Magetta. Vados is about to begin the written exam to participate in the tournament when Cabba catches sight of Vegeta and Goku and notices that they may be Saiyans. He goes up to them and asks about this and his thoughts are confirmed as they are impressed that he could recognize a Saiyan, noting there may be Saiyans in Universe 6. Cabba reveals to Vegeta and Goku that there are, and he is also a Saiyan. Both Goku and Vegeta are shocked, and then Vegeta also comments on his garments, noting they resemble the style Saiyans wore before getting conscripted by Frieza's army. Cabba is questioned by Vegeta, as he wonders what planet the Saiyan resides in Universe 6. Cabba says that the Saiyans of Universe 6 live on Planet Sadala, the original Saiyan planet.

Cabba-DBS

Cabba is curious as to whether or not Planet Sadala exists in Universe 7, but Vegeta explains that it has been destroyed due to an internal conflict between the Saiyans while further explaining the events that took place afterward. Goku then asks Cabba where his tail is, to which Cabba reveals that they had tails long ago but have lost them due to the evolutionary process (in the anime, Cabba is unaware that Saiyans possessed tails). Vegeta wonders if the Saiyans of Universe 6 are still a "warrior race", and Cabba claims they are, except they fight evil instead of taking and selling planets. As Vados scolds them for not taking their seats, Vegeta asks Cabba if he could take him to Sadala when he is able to and assures him to not worry because the Saiyans of Universe 7 don't steal planets any longer. Cabba agrees to do so and tells Vegeta he will not hold back in their match.

Cabba takes the written exam of ten basic questions and passes it. However, Universe 7 is down by one fighter because of Majin Buu failing the written exam. He then watches the first match between Goku and Universe 6's first pick, Botamo. Botamo loses to Goku because Goku throws him out of the ring due to him not being able to deal damage to him. The next combatant for Universe 6 is Frost who fights Goku next immediately after. Cabba is surprised when he sees Frost transform into his "final form". When Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, Cabba is asked by Champa if he knew Saiyans could transform but Cabba claims he never has seen or heard of anything like it before. Frost is able to beat Goku when a secret technique. When the next fight between Piccolo and Frost starts, Cabba sits back and watches the match between the two fighters. He is surprised when the fight is over, and that Frost won. When Jaco asks the referee to check Frost because he detected something wrong about Frost, Cabba immediately objects, saying how he believes that Frost is a noble character and that he fought Frost himself, so he believes Frost won fairly. He is in complete shock when Frost reveals that he starts wars just to end them and buy war-torn planets at a very low cost. Cabba then watches the fight between Vegeta and Frost.

Cabba's Galick Cannon and Vegeta's Galick Gun colliding

When the battle between Cabba and Vegeta begins, Vegeta notes that Cabba has the same stance as he does. As the battle commences, both Saiyans are evenly matched, and Vegeta is utterly surprised when Cabba prepares Vegeta's signature move, the Galick Gun. After both Vegeta and Cabba use their Galick Gun, Vegeta commands Cabba to transform into a Super Saiyan. Cabba responds by saying he doesn't know how to transform into a Super Saiyan and then asks Vegeta to teach him. Vegeta gets angry at Cabba for asking this question during their battle, he then turns into a Super Saiyan himself. Vegeta then begins to pummel Cabba and mock him as he does so. Cabba then attempts to surrender to Vegeta but this upsets Vegeta even more, and he says if Cabba surrenders, he will kill him and once the tournament is over, he will destroy Planet Sadala. Though Vegeta didn't really mean it, his words drew the line for Cabba, and he tells Vegeta if he destroys Planet Sadala, he will never forgive him and proceeds to transform into a Super Saiyan.

"Super Saiyan Blue..."
— Cabba to Vegeta after seeing Vegeta transform into the form in "Don't Forget Your Saiyan Pride! Vegeta vs. the 6th Universe's Saiyan"

Cabba marveling at Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue form

Cabba then launches at Vegeta and attacks him out of fury. Cabba eventually tries to punch Vegeta but it doesn't faze him. After this, Cabba loses the form. Vegeta then tells Cabba that the Super Saiyan transformation becomes possible through anger, and to never forget the anger. Vegeta immediately tells Cabba to transform once again, and Cabba does, realizes that Vegeta said those things to help him unlock Super Saiyan. Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue immediately after Cabba transforms and tells Cabba about the newest Super Saiyan transformation, and that he too can obtain the transformation if he trains hard enough. Cabba simply marvels at the power Vegeta possesses and asks if he really can achieve the kind of power Vegeta has. While distracted, Vegeta knocks out Cabba with one punch to the abdomen, knocking him out. Vegeta tells Cabba to remember the feeling of the God Ki so he could transform into Super Saiyan Blue in the future. The referee then declares that Vegeta is the winner for the third time in a row. Cabba is then woken up by a pail of water, thrown on him by Vegeta. Cabba bows to Vegeta and praises him, but Vegeta does not appreciate the gesture and says that bowing to your opponent in battle is the same as giving up to your opponent. Vegeta then tells Cabba about the Saiyan pride and how it is the strength of the Saiyans. Cabba says that he will become as strong as Vegeta, but Vegeta says he wants Cabba to surpass him, but he won't let up so easily. Cabba tears up and thanks Vegeta for his kind words. Before Vegeta goes, Cabba tells Vegeta about how their king is a very strong and prideful Saiyan like him. Vegeta is interested and says he hopes to meet him someday.

In the anime, during the fight with Goku and Hit, when Champa is telling Hit to defeat Goku since his Kaio-ken was fading. Cabba objects, saying that that would be a blow to Hit's pride, to which Champa retorts by telling Cabba to stay quiet and that all of the fighters in the tournament are just pawns in their game. As soon as he says that, both Hit and Goku glare at Champa, leaving the God of Destruction momentarily stunned and fearful.

Cabba and Vegeta talking before parting ways after the Tournament of Destroyers

When the final battle between Monaka and Hit ends, the latter returns to the platform, with an angry Champa telling Hit that his performances and actions disgraced him, due to the fact that he refused to listen to his orders and lost to Monaka. Champa then threatens to kill Hit and Cabba attempts to reason with him, but Champa tells him to be quiet, remarking that Cabba and the rest of Team Universe 6 did awfully and embarrassed him. Champa then threatens to kill them all for this disgrace. All of the fighters except for an unconscious Frost are looking in concern and fear at Champa. The only thing that saves them is Vados informing Champa that Zeno and his attendants have arrived on the scene. Zeno announces his own intentions to form a tournament with the fighters present before taking his leave as Champa rescinds his promise of destroying them all due to knowing he needs them. The fighters of Universe 6 leave, as Cabba leaves calling Vegeta "Master" much to his irritation.

Cabba gave his testimony when Frost was put on trial for his crimes. Sometime later Cabba and Team Universe 6 re-groups to play a friendly game of baseball with Team Universe 7 (Not including Frost and Hit, and Vegeta and Goten join their team to even the number of players). The team loses to Universe 7 when Yamcha scores the only run by running around all the bases scoring at home base. He, Magetta and Botamo are then forced to train by Champa for a rematch.

Cabba teaches Caulifla how to transform into a Super Saiyan

In the anime, Cabba then flies a spaceship to a planet to meet up with his mentor, Renso. After catching up with each other, Renso reveals that Cabba is the ace of the Saiyan elite unit. Cabba shows Renso the power of a Super Saiyan and tells him about the Tournament of Power. Even after learning that Universe 6 will be destroyed if they lose, Renso declines Cabba's offer due to his leg injury. After Renso recommends recruiting Caulifla, Cabba goes to her. When Cabba attempts to recruit her, Caulifla shows no interest, even when being told that their universe's existence was at stake. After telling Cabba to leave, one of her local Saiyans attempts to remove Cabba, but he simply transforms, knocking him away with the sheer force. Surprised, Caulifla piques interest in the transformation, with Cabba even offering to teach her, in which she joins, knowing she could get even more powerful.

Super Saiyan Cabba vs. Legendary Super Saiyan Kale

Cabba tries to teach Kale to transform into a Super Saiyan, but nothing seems to work. After a long conversation, Kale thinks she is a burden to Caulifla and transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan and loses control. Cabba and Caulifla engage in a battle against Kale in order to calm her down. Kale shoots a ki blast at Cabba but Caulifla appears and unleashes her Super Saiyan 2 form, knocking Kale's blast away. Caulifla tells her she is not falling for Cabba and Kale then powers down, sleeping in the process, and Caulifla flies over and catches her.

In the manga, Cabba visits a part of Planet Sadala that he notes he would never have come to without Champa's orders to recruit more Saiyans. He sees Caulifla assault and rob two Saiyan soldiers in King Sadala's army. He goes to ask her to fight in the tournament, but Caulifla will only join if someone can defeat her in battle. Cabba transforms, which amazes Caulifla, and wonders if she can be that powerful too. After they have trained and Caulifla achieved Super Saiyan, they travel to Champa's planet in a cruiser, discussing the Tournament of Power.

Cabba in Champa's palace

After Caulifla and Kale decided to join Team Universe 6, Cabba went with them to Champa's palace, where the God of Destruction gave them the Potara earrings as a trump card during the Tournament of Power. At first, none of the Saiyans girls wanted the earrings and were willing to give it to him, which he also refused.

Universe 6 arrives at the World of Void for the tournament and Cabba quickly greets Vegeta. He then introduces Caulifla and Kale to Goku and Vegeta, with Caulifla saying she will not be friendly with an opposing universe and proceeding to call the Saiyans of Universe 7 wimps because of the way they cowered in fear at Team Universe 11.

Nigrisshi

Cabba about to eliminate Nirissi and Murisam

As the tournament began, he and Dyspo were seen together as they were both knocked away by Narirama's extendable arm spin attack and was then seen with Caulifla as they overlooked the explosions happening in the arena. He is later shocked when all of Team Universe 9 are eliminated and erased along with their entire universe as well. He effortlessly defeats Nigrissi and Murisam at the same time before confronting Vegeta. Cabba tells him that he will be eliminated from the tournament and turns Super Saiyan and the two battle. But before they can continue, they noticed Kale transform into her Legendary Super Saiyan form and dodged her widespread ki attack.

He is then briefly seen listening to Brianne de Chateau's cry with Botamo, Pancéa, Obni, Koitsukai, and Ganos as he let Rabanra, Bikal, and Zarbuto fly away and join their teammates in the Kamikaze Fireballs' transformation. He then witnessed the Fireballs' transformation and resisted Brianne's heart-shaped explosions that unleashed an odor that filled those who smelt it with love, as he only found the smell suspicious.

Cabba is later seen getting sent flying by Top's Justice Punch. He then stood by and watched Jiren and Goku's fight after squaring off with Koitsukai for a little bit. He was then seen watching the Universe 7's Spirit Bomb along with Hit.

Shortly afterwards, Cabba watches Hit fight Jiren alongside Kale and Caulifla and were about to join him, but Cabba told them to let him keep fighting him, as he stated he had a plan then were told by Hit to fight and defeat the other universe warriors and were shocked when they saw Hit lose to and eventually knocked out by Jiren.

Later, Cabba is seen interfering between Monna, Caulifla, and Kale, warding the female Saiyans off to regain their stamina. Winning their trust, the girls ran off to hide while Cabba engaged Monna in battle. Cabba, who was getting overwhelmed, was knocked off the ledge, but a nearby Vegeta caught him in the nick of time. Vegeta gave Cabba a pep talk by reminding him about the promise he made about meeting King Sadala in the Tournament of Destroyers. When Cabba mentioned that it can't be kept since one of their universes will be destroyed, Vegeta mentioned once he won the tournament he would use the Super Dragon Ball to resurrect their universe, which inspired Cabba to promise the same. Cabba then fought back vigilantly against Monna, attaining the Super Saiyan 2 transformation in the process, due to the words she said about him and Vegeta.

The exhausted Cabba then fought against Frieza and held his own as a Super Saiyan 2, but ultimately lost when Frieza went Golden and was eliminated in the process. After being eliminated, Cabba cheered on Kale and Caulifla during their fight against Goku. After Saonel and Pilina were eliminated and Team Universe 6 was about to be erased, Cabba wished his master good luck before being erased with his teammates and universe by the Zenos.

Later, Cabba is revived along with the other fighters and universes that participated in the Tournament of Power, thanks to the wish made by Android 17. After expressing his gratitude and excitement at seeing Vegeta again, he is greeted by an overjoyed Kale and an ecstatic Caulifla, the latter of whom demands Cabba to train with them to reach Super Saiyan 3.

Part 3

Cabba from a short time before he was recruited for the Tournament of Destroyers is dragged into the Tournament of Time. He is among those recruited by Mai into her Earth's Resistance faction along with Zahha, Gohan (Youth) (post-Cell Games), and Piccolo (Post-Cell Saga). During Part 3, Cabba and Piccolo arrive to assist Zahha and his ally Shallot of Team Beerus in protecting Android 17 and Android 18 from New Cell. Thanks to Zahha's Locational Phasing Spell, they are able to escape from Cell. Zahha tests Shallot's resolve by pretending he plans to destroy Android 17 & Android 18. Both Shallot and Cabba object to this, though Shallot ends up passing Zahha's test and he reveals the ruse. Shallot and Cabba are tasked with protecting the Android twins while Zahha and Piccolo hunt for Dr. Gero and Cell.

As Shallot had achieved his Super Saiyan previously due to Frieza killing his mentor Vegeta (Pre-Saiyan conflict), Cabba requests he train him so he can attain it himself. Thus Shallot becomes Cabba's mentor. However Cabba finds himself getting roped into following Shallot, 17, and 18 as the journey around looking for Android 16 whom has been captured by Dr. Gero and reprogrammed. They "borrow" a Renault 5 Turbo which Android 17 drives to one of Dr. Gero's Labs.

Elite Soldier N Event

During the Elite Soldier N Story Event, 17 ends up hitting Nappa (Young) (post Dragon Ball Super: Broly Genocide of the Saiyans) with the car. Nappa survives and is found by Goten and Trunks (pre-World Tournament) who travel with him as he follows the trail of parts left by the car. Eventually Nappa finds the car and confronts 17 and 18 for their hit and run. Nappa tries to instill some Saiyan Pride into Cabba after witnessing 17 & 18 "bully" him. Despite being out matched by 17 & 18 (who were forced to take on Nappa as Shallot was busy sleeping), Nappa keeps fighting to the point he falls unconscious while standing with his eyes open. They decide to continue on their journey to Dr. Gero's Lab.

Part 3

Near the lab, they find Goten and Trunks had defeated several Android 19 units protecting it. Goten and Trunks assume 17 & 18 are evil Androids (as they are from the period before meeting 18 at the World Tournament) and 17 plays along forcing Cabba and Shallot to protect the twins. Cabba and Shallot are both surprised by the kids' ability to go Super Saiyan. Trunks even mocks Cabba for his inability to transform. Fortunately they manage to scare them off and continue their search for 16. They eventually manage to free Android 16 from Dr. Gero's reprogramming. Unfortunately, Cell manages to track them down and absorbs Android 17. To make matters worse, the Organization of Babidi's Dabura assists Cell in absorbing 18, in exchange for creating the Super Cell Games with Dabura killing Piccolo. Despite their best efforts, Cell absorbs 18 and after achieving his Perfect Form, tells his enemies that he plans to create his own version of the Cell Games.

During the waiting period for the Super Cell Games, Shallot trains under Gohan (Youth) in the hopes of achieving Super Saiyan 2 and he learns he must first master the Super Saiyan form to achieve Super Saiyan Full Power. He ends up sparring with Cabba after being reminded that he is also Cabba's mentor. Meanwhile, Bulma (Youth) works on repairing Android 16 who like his counterpart who fought during the Cell Games, wants to avenge 17 & 18 a sentiment he shares with Cabba and Shallot. They also manage to recruit Bardock (whom Shallot had met previously) after learning that Cooler was part of Cell's team as the Super Cell Games would be a team battle royale. Zahha plans to have Gohan defeat Cell, with himself, Shallot, Cabba, and 16 focusing on dealing with Cell's teammats and the rival teams competing in the Super Cell Games.

The Super Cell Games

During the Super Cell Games, Cabba and Android 16 end up protecting Goten and Trunks with Trunks apologizing for mocking Cabba previously. Eventually Android 16 decides to sacrifice himself to defeat Cell's teammate Boujack using his Last Resort which Bulma had failed to remove. When Cell makes clones of himself, Cabba and Shallot find themselves confronting one of the clones, though Shallot is fine with this as he finally face Cell. Enraged by the clone's heartless comments, Shallot achieves Super Saiyan 2 while Cabba achieves his Super Saiyan form.

Later on, Cabba watches as Shallot and Bardock stop Final Form, Cooler's Supernova when he attempts to destroy the Earth. This causes Cell to injure Cooler with Frieza's Death Beam before killing his ally for attempting to destroy the Earth and end the Super Cell Games prematurely. Shallot, Cabba, Gohan, and Bardock manage to defeat Cell with a combined attack, but like the original Cell, New Cell survives and regenerates in his Super Perfect Form. Cell then reveals the entire Super Cell Games was so he could achieve his Super Perfect Form. Fortunately, Zahha (with Hercule carrying him) is able to heal Shallot, allowing him and Gohan to finish Cell off with a Combined Super Kamehameha and Wild Cannon attack which destroys the evil Bio-Android, avenging the deaths of their fallen comrades 16, 17 & 18.

Post-Super Cell Games

Following the Super Cell Games, Shallot parts ways with Cabba, Gohan, Zahha, and Future Mai, though Cabba, Gohan, and Zahha have a brief farewell sparring match with Shallot.

Part 7

Shallot, Bulma, and Jaco of Team Beerus are tasked by Beerus and Whis to find five righteous Saiyans. They manage to find Caulifla (post-Super Saiyan training), Kale, Future Trunks (Teen), Gohan (Youth), and Cabba. Whis reveals that they will help Shallot achieve Super Saiyan God via the Super Saiyan God ritual. Caulifla and Cabba congratulate each other on achieving Super Saiyan 2, though Caulifla is confused as the Cabba she knows has already seen her Super Saiyan 2 form, due to not knowing that he comes from a much earlier period.

Unfortunately, Android 13 and Majin Buu: Super (Gohan Absorbed) of the Mastermind's group try to stop the ritual with an army of Dark Ki empowered tournament participants. Fusion Android 13 dies standing after being defeated by Shallot only for Super Buu to coldly destroy his remains. Fortunately, Zahha appears with various tournament participants whom Shallot had met during the tournament (Chi-Chi, Kid Goku, Goten, Gohan (Adult), Trunks (Kid), Bardock, Fasha, Tora, the Kamikaze Fireballs, and even Shallot's old mentor Nappa who is revealed to have survived his battle with the Ginyu Force) to keep the Mastermind's forces busy. Majin Vegeta (whom Shallot had freed from the influence of the Dark Ki), comes to hold off Super Buu who had knocked out Kale, though Goku arrives to take her place in the ritual. As a result, Cabba, Caulifla Goku, Gohan, and Future Trunks give their energy to Shallot who manages to achieve his Super Saiyan God form, which allows him to overpower Super Buu forcing the Majin to flee. However Shallot's twin brother Giblet (another member of the Mastermind's group) appears and reveals he to had achieved Super Saiyan God.

Power[]

Manga and Anime

Cabba, in his base form, is strong enough to apparently fight evenly with Vegeta - with Vegeta noting in the manga that Cabba's strength is about as much as Vegeta's. However, Vegeta still  managed to tire Cabba after receiving a single kick from Vegeta. In the manga, he proved to be a very tactical fighter, using a variety of maneuvers to catch Vegeta off guard. Still, he was completely overwhelmed when Vegeta becomes a Super Saiyan. After his home planet is threatened to be destroyed, Cabba angrily becomes a Super Saiyan and his power grows considerably, even able to disperse Vegeta's Galaxy Breaker with a force field in the manga upon reaching this transformation for the first time. As a Super Saiyan, Cabba is able to land blows on the Saiyan prince, and in the anime, the kinetic force of his punches was enough to create visible steam. In the anime, despite being able to hold his own and seemingly gain an advantage during the battle, it's revealed that Vegeta is still far superior to him, and takes Cabba's punch to his forehead without even flinching - meaning Vegeta possessed at least twice the strength of Cabba.[5] Once it was revealed that Vegeta was being evil toward Cabba as a ruse to teach him how to transform into a Super Saiyan and tells him never to forget the feeling of its power, Cabba immediately reverts to his base form after realizing what Vegeta's true intentions were and upon Vegeta's request for him to turn into a Super Saiyan again, Cabba was able to transform back into a Super Saiyan with relative ease impressing even the likes of Vegeta that in the anime Vegeta remarks him as a quick learner and having some talent. He is easily beaten with one punch by Vegeta when he transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue while in the manga Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta easily subdues Cabba with a single elbow to his stomach. In the manga, Goku notes that Vegeta could have defeated Super Saiyan Cabba without Super Saiyan Blue. However, Vegeta wanted to show Cabba the form and end the fight quickly.

Cabba as a Super Saiyan was also strong enough to trade blows with Legendary Super Saiyan Kale before eventually being defeated though she did not reach her true power like she did against Goku.

During the Tournament of Power, he was able to effortlessly defeat Nigrissi and Murisam at the same time in his base form with a single kick and punch respectively. He was able to take Top's Justice Punch in his base form. In his base form, he had an even power struggle with Monna. As a Super Saiyan, he was able to fight on par with her but was overpowered when she grew into a giant ball. After becoming enraged by Monna belittling his mentor Vegeta and threatening to harm Caulifla and Kale, Cabba awakens his Super Saiyan 2 form and dominates the fight with Monna, knocking her out of the arena with a move similar to the Final Flash. In the anime, after defeating Monna, Cabba fights Frieza and is overwhelmed in his base form. In an attempt to defeat Frieza, Cabba turned Super Saiyan 2 in order to get out of the tyrant's grip and attacked with Galick Cannon, however as the dust from the attack cleared it was revealed Frieza had taken no damage and had transformed into Golden Frieza. Cabba was no match for Golden Frieza, who effortlessly knocks him out of the arena with a ki blast. Afterward, Frieza calls Cabba trash and notes that it was a waste to expend excess stamina on him. In the manga, Super Saiyan Cabba was easily overwhelmed by Golden Frieza even with Super Saiyan Caulifla and base Kale's aid.

Dragon Ball Heroes

During the battle involving Oren and Kamin, Cabba is shown injured and out of battle presumably due to the damage taken by one or both of his enemies.

Video games

In Xenoverse 2, Vados refers to Cabba as the strongest Saiyan in Universe 6. Trunks states he is very strong for a newly awakened Super Saiyan and wonders how strong he will become in the future. In the DLC story line, Cabba in his base form is shown to be able to fight on par with Piccolo.

Cabba's Super Saiyan Form

Cabba as Super Saiyan during his fight against Vegeta

Cabba achieves the Super Saiyan form during his fight against Vegeta when the latter threatens to destroy his home planet, Sadala. In this form, he resembles an adolescent Gohan. His eyebrows get thicker and his eyes become slightly more angled. Unlike most Saiyans, in the Tournament of Destroyers, his hairstyle remains essentially unchanged in this form, while in the Tournament of Power he loses his bang. Due to his inexperience with this form, he cannot maintain it for a long duration.

In the anime, Cabba attains this form during his battle with Monna after he is prevented from falling out of the tournament. His Super Saiyan 2 form resembles his Super Saiyan form, being more rigid and spiky, though not always shown as in some shots with his fight with Monna. With that said Cabba's Super Saiyan 2 has the addition of bio-electricity like every other user. While in this state he easily defeated Monna. Shortly after he utilized the form against Frieza, firing a Galick Cannon at him but was near effortlessly defeated once Frieza assumed his Golden form.

Trivia[]

  • Like all other Saiyans, Cabba's name is a pun on a vegetable. His name is a pun on the English word, "cabbage".
  • His role as a polite Saiyan who looks up after Vegeta is noticeably similar to Tarble, Vegeta's younger brother.
  • Cabba can be seen as the Universe 6 counterpart to Vegeta, due to his pose matching that of Vegeta's during his fight with Goku during the Saiyan Saga, as well as his Galick Cannon and his Big Bang Cannon mirroring that of Vegeta's Galick Gun and Big Bang Attack.
    • However unlike Vegeta, Cabba isn't Saiyan royalty.
    • He could also be considered a counterpart to Nappa, as both their names are based on cabbage.
