Dragon Ball universe is packed with iconic heroes and villains, but some characters—like the brilliant, vengeful Towa deserve more spotlight. First appearing in Dragon Ball Online (2010) and later in Xenoverse, Towa’s story is packed with twists even hardcore fans might miss. Let’s dive into her hidden lore, secrets, and why she’s one of Dragon Ball’s most fascinating non-canon villains.
Towa Was Designed by Akira Toriyama Himself
Yes, the Dragon Ball creator helped shape her!

While Towa hasn’t appeared in the main anime or manga, Toriyama played a key role in designing her alongside other game-exclusive characters like Android 21. Her demonic elegance and sharp intellect reflect Toriyama’s signature style, blending menace with sophistication. Masayuki Hirano (Xenoverse producer) confirmed her origins, linking her to Demon Realm royalty like Dabura.

She’s Out for Revenge Against Majin Buu

Towa isn’t just out for chaos—she’s got a personal score to settle.
As Dabura’s younger sister, Towa blames Buu for her brother’s death. While her main goal is to break the Demon Realm’s seal and unleash havoc, her grudge against Buu adds a relatable, human layer to her villainy. Imagine if Dragon Ball Super explored this feud—it’d be pure fire!
She Wields God Ki (Yes, Really!)

Move over, Goku and Vegeta—Towa’s got divine power too.
By tapping into her “Demon Goddess” form (thanks to dark energy boosts from Mechikabura), Towa unlocks god-level ki. This form amps up her magic and menace, making her a nightmare for anyone who crosses her. Plus, she unlocks three variations of this form solo—no help needed!
She Supercharged the Tree of Might

Turles evil tree? Towa made it worse.
In Xenoverse 2, Towa corrupts the Tree of Might with Demon Realm energy, creating fruit that turns eaters into power-crazed monsters. She hands these to Turles and Lord Slug, who nearly destroy the galaxy. Talk about a toxic diet plan!
She’s Dabura Sister… But Not DAIMA Royalty

Family drama alert!
While Dragon Ball DAIMA introduces a new Demon King (Gomah), older games like Online and Xenoverse position Towa as Dabura’s sister. Though not canon, her ambition to rule the Demon Realm—and avenge her brother—makes her a standout antagonist.
She Hijacked Android 16 for Evil

Even gentle Android 16 wasn’t safe.
Using dark magic, Towa resurrects Future Android 16 and brainwashes him into serving her. This twisted move shows her scientific genius—outdoing even Dr. Gero. Imagine 16’s pacifist spirit trapped in a villain’s role. Chilling!
She Killed Shenron AND Goku (Temporarily)

Towa doesn’t mess around.
In Xenoverse 2, she travels back in time to kill Shenron, disrupting timelines until the Future Warrior fixes things. She even offs Goku in Dragon Ball Heroes’ manga arc. These wins are short-lived but prove she’s a multiverse-level threat.
She Tried (And Failed) to Copy Divine Artifacts

Ambition vs. reality.
Towa attempts to clone the universe-creating “Tokitoki Eggs” but ends up with unstable “Distorted Time Eggs.” These rip holes in reality, showing even her brilliance can’t replicate godly power. A rare L for the Demon Queen!
She Fused With Dr. Slump’s Arale

Yes, that Arale!
In Dragon Ball Fusions, Towa merges with the goofy android, creating “Towale.” This wild crossover—mixing Toriyama’s earliest and latest characters—is pure fan service fun.
She Created Fan-Favorite Villains Fu and Mira
Meet her “family”: a genius son and a cyborg bodyguard.

- Fu: Her artificial demon son, Fu, craves rewriting history and often clashes with Trunks. He’s chaotic, charming, and a breakout star in Xenoverse 2.
- Mira: Built from DNA of top fighters, Mira evolves into a fearsome foe. His design even inspired DAIMA’s Glorio!
Why Towa Matters
Towa’s mix of brains, magic, and personal stakes makes her unforgettable. While she’s stuck in non-canon games for now, her depth rivals mainline villains. Here’s hoping Dragon Ball Super gives her a canon debut!
