Sidra is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super and its companion manga series written by Toyotarō. Sidra makes his debut in Dragon Ball Super Episode 78, broadcast on 12 February 2017 on Fuji TV, as the God of Destruction of Universe Nine.

Biography

Sidra is indecisive and normally cannot bring himself to destroy anything, often suffering from depression due to his responsibilities, but he destroyed an entire planet of people who rioted in fear of the destruction of their universe.

Zen Exhibition Match

Sidra's character design for the Tournament of Power.

When the Great Priest informs the gods of each universe about the upcoming Tournament of Power, he invites them to attend the Zen Exhibition Match to sate the curiosity of the Omni-King from the future, who has never seen a martial arts tournament. Universe 9 is asked to participate in the tournament and bring three fighters to compete against warriors from Universe 7. The gods of Universe 9 bring the Trio de Dangers to the Omni-King's palace, where they encounter the representatives of Universe 7 in the corridor. Shin greets them, noting that they have not seen each other in some time.

With everyone present, the Great Priest creates an arena in a void that appears to be located beneath the Omni-King's palace, and the Universe 9 representatives fall onto a platform situated on one side of the fighting stage, across from the Universe 7 platform. Then the Great Priest brings in the gods from all the other universes to observe the match. When Goku speaks casually to the Omni-Kings, calling them "Zen-chan", Sidra says that he never would have believed Universe 7 would have someone so disrespectful, and Rou says he has never seen the like. When Basil delivers what should be a fatal blow to Majin Boo in the first fight of the tournament, but Boo does not appear to be harmed, laughing at the hole in his gut, Sidra finds him to be very unusual, but Rou tells him that there are plenty of others like Boo in the universe. He is nevertheless as shocked as Sidra when Boo regenerates his body to continue fighting. As Basil pummels Boo, Sidra worries that he is taking it too far, but Rou only laughs. Boo finishes off Basil with a Kamehameha, and Sidra is shocked to see that Basil is still standing after the attack, but he soon collapses from exhaustion. Sidra tells Basil that his performance was pathetic.

When the second match ends, Sidra and the other gods learn that losing universes will be erased in the Tournament of Power. When Bergamo stands before the gods to condemn Goku and ask the Omni-Kings to reconsider their plan to erase the universes, Rou and Bergamo's brothers praise his speech, while Sidra compliments his persuasion powers. The Omni-Kings like Bergamo's speech and agree to his proposal. When Goku powers up to Super Saiyan Blue during the fight, Rou cannot believe that Goku has the power of a god, and Sidra realizes that this Goku should not be underestimated.

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.

Our first look at Akira Toriyama's design for Sidra.

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. 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. 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, series director Ryōta Nakamura claimed that Quitela was the first God of Destruction drawn by Toriyama.

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, Jimizu, Roselle, Napapa, and Rubalt. In the FUNimation English dub, Sidra is voiced by Greg Dulcie in his first role for the Dragon Ball franchise.
