What episode is "Heart of a Villain" in Dragon Ball Z?
"Heart of a Villain" is episode 227 of Dragon Ball Z.
Gohan faces Dabura in a challenging battle, revealing changes in his strength and fighting style after years without training, while Vegeta's emotions grow intense. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks learn about the situation and eagerly join the unfolding events involving magic and combat.
Gohan and Dabura continue fighting, and from the outset it is clear that Gohan has lost his edge after not training for seven years and as a result is weaker than when he fought and killed Cell. Nonetheless, Gohan is fighting Dabura to a stalemate. However, his lack of fighting sense and inability to gain an advantage on Dabura causes Vegeta to begin to lose his cool, especially when Dabura begins to pressure Gohan in the fight. Noticing this, Dabura tells Babidi to return them all to the ship. He privately informs Babidi that Vegeta has a terrible rage burning inside him, and that he could be made to serve their purposes. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks see Videl flying back to the stadium, and she tells them all about what's happening. Excited at the prospect of seeing magic and a wizard (although they reveal that they don't even know what a wizard is), they race off after the others.
