Name
Sidra's name comes directly from the katakana spelling of the Spanish word for "cider", shidra (シドラ/shidora). The word used to refer to alcoholic "cider" in Japanese is "cidre" (シードル/shīdoru). Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. Sidra's name pun follows the theme of Gods of Destruction and Angels being named after alcoholic beverages.[4]
Production
According to "The Nearly Complete Works of Akira Toriyama", a series published on the official Dragon Ball website, Sidra was the first God of Destruction that Toriyama drew for the Universe Survival arc, and served as the basis for the rest.[6] The design was first revealed in the March 2017 issue of V-Jump along with his designs for Korn, the Angel of Universe Eight, Artificial Humans No. 17 and No. 18, and the tournament fighting stage.[5] It is however worth noting that, although Quitela's design was not revealed until the following month in the April 2017 issue of V-Jump,[1] series director Ryōta Nakamura claimed that Quitela was the first God of Destruction drawn by Toriyama.[7]
Performance
Sidra is voiced by Yasuhiro Mamiya, whose credits include the King of the planet half-destroyed by Beerus in Dragon Ball Super Episode 1, along with several roles in the Tournament of Power: Iwen, Jimeze, Roselle, Napapa, and Rubalt. In the FUNimation English dub, Sidra is voiced by Greg Dulcie in his first role for the Dragon Ball franchise.
