Poison

Poison is a dangerous substance utilized by several fighters.

Overview[]

In the manga and anime, the Ultra Divine Water is seemingly a toxic form of mystical water that will unlock the latent potential of anyone who drinks it and survives. It has also been retroactively suggested that by drinking the poison and surviving, that a Saiyan like Goku would also receive a Saiyan Power boost along with the latent potential unlocked by the Ultra Divine Water, as Saiyans grow stronger after coming close to death and surviving. In the anime, Yajirobe tests it by consuming a very small amount of the poison and while the poison temporarily induces pain, he did not consume enough of the poison for it to be lethal, indicating that at least within the anime, a significant amount must be consumed for it to be lethal for Human-type Earthlings, however considering that one must survive its toxic effects to unlock their latent potential, it is implied that Yajirobe didn't unlock any latent potential as he didn't consume large enough dose for it to be life threatening. However even a small dose is shown to temporarily induce pain on the user, showing that even a small amount of the poison has a negative effect on the body, albeit temporarily indicating Human-type Earthlings bodies are eventually capable of processing a small amount of the toxin. Also in the anime, Darkness claims that no human had ever survived consuming a lethal dose and while Goku became the first person to ever survive it, in light of his Saiyan origins, it is possible that a lethal dose is simply too much for Earthlings to survive, as Goku's survival could be attributed to his Saiyan biology.

The Saibaman user fires a poisonous substance from a hidden gland in their head as a toxic variation of their Acid.

Mr. Satan once added deadly poison into some luxury chocolate, which he presented to Majin Buu in an attempt to assassinate him. However, Buu was completely immune and oblivious to the poison, and ate the entire box of chocolate.

In the Dragon Ball Super manga, members of a race of alien Insectoids attempt to kill the God of Destruction Beerus with poisoned food, though unfortunately for them, Beerus proved immune to the toxin and in retaliation for their deceitful blasphemous act of daring to attempt to kill a god, Beerus destroys their planet.

During the Super Hero Saga, Dr. Hedo's cyborg wasp Hachimaru has a toxic stinger that secrets a potent toxin that destroys organic tissue which Hedo states will destroy the organic components of even the strongest cyborgs, which he threatens to use against Magenta and Carmine. When Magenta attempts to activate Cell Max, Hachimaru stings him, though unfortunately in his death throws, Magenta manages to free Cell Max before dying from the toxin.

Film Appearances[]

In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Dr. Hedo mentions Hachimaru's toxic stinger to Magenta and Carmine. When Magenta attempts to activate Cell Max, he is stung by Hachimaru but manages to awaken Cell Max before dying.
