I feel like the Kid Buu section of the arc had more substance with the characters fighting Buu. The Super Buu section was just fighting to simply drag out the story along.
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD I much prefer the Spirit Bomb ending over those alternatives. Everyone lending their energy to defeat the final villain feels more satisfying than Gohan winning just because he got his potential unlocked or some random character spawnning into existence just to defeat the villain.
Kid Buu being born and immediately destroying the earth has got to be the greatest anime pull up of all time. Kid Buu gave zero fucks and was truly HIM.
He destroyed a earth that basically had no people on it, compare to super Buu who kill the human population with one attack and ate most of the Main characters
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD It's still the same world that King Cold would have bombarded from space, if not for his son. We saw it happen to other worlds, and now it was Earth's turn.
I actually liked Fat Buu as an antagonist. He really feels like nothing like the previous big bads, but in the best way possible. I love villains who are *deceitfully* dangerous. Like yeah, when you first see the guy, you first go *"really? THIS Kirby reject? This is our bad guy?"* But then he one shots Dabura, a Super-Perfect Cell level character without effort &-... Yeah, this guy is terrifying & the fact that his design does a good job making you think otherwise is kinda genius. But yeah, it'd be very weird to have him stay for the long-run, so I'm glad we got Kid Buu in the end (Budokai 2 war flashbacks notwithstanding)
Seeing Super's villains made me appreciate fat buu a lot more than I used too He's still my least fave main Z villain but I like him a lot more than I used too
@@casanovasparks89 It's so unforgiving. Fighting him is bad enough, but reaching him isn't much better & if Goku loses all of his HP squares, you have to do the final map all over again JUST to get another shot & that final map is long as fuck!
The Great Saiyaman and World Tournament Sagas were good buildups. The Babidi and Majin Buu Sagas were action packed and emotional. The Fusion Saga (In Retrospect) was a drawn out mess. The Kid Buu Saga picked back up, with an action/emotional thrill ride.
I always had a soft spot for Super Buu, but I think that was primarily influenced by his portrayal in the Budokai 2 game. They weirdly give him more character there than in the show. You could feel it in the voice acting.
I've always liked using the "What-if" absorptions that were available. You'd think Xenoverse would've done something like that since their whole thing is a bunch of "What-if" scenarios. Though something never sat right with me when Super Buu died, the frantic begging he makes towards Vegeta when he realizes what he's doing and the line "Please let go! If you tear out those attachments I won't be *ME* anymore!" made me feel a bit bad for the guy. The pained screaming as he was trying to keep himself together both on the inside and outside didn't help. If you think about it he was pretty much the only form of a conscience for Kid Buu. He didn't just die, he literally ceased to exist.
I think the main problem with the Buu Saga is ironically everything after. The Buu Saga was supposed to be the end for Dragon Ball but because it wasn't, it just gets worse as time goes on. Take SSJ3 for example. I've seen everywhere people calling the form useless, but in the context of the Buu saga, it absolutely wasn't. SSJ3 was supposed to be the final stage of SSJ that unlike 2 was supposed to be reserved for special people in special circumstances like being a fusion or afterlife training. Since Goku had it, it basically put him in an entire world Vegeta could never reach and so he just had to admit Goku was better than him. In modern dragon ball, Vegeta isn't like that anymore. He's regressed to wanting to surpass Goku again and while it makes sense for Super's story. That's just one way the Buu Saga has been hurt over time.
For all the story issues the Boo Arc has had through and through, the final battle against Pure Majin Boo is one of the best fights in the series. After all, it helped to give character arcs to a close and everyone had a role to make it happen, which is something I cannot say for other final fights such as Goku vs. Freeza and Gohan vs. Cell.
This is an interestingly positive perspective. A lot of good points are made. Story-wise as you said, it brought about redemption for some characters. As far as my common sense goes, buus power regressing and Gohan being left out of the picture are hard for me to let go. Just feels like Toriyama built up the situation a certain way and then just changed his mind multiple times. I also have always liked fat buu as an antagonist because he felt like an old school Toriyama character that was wacky and funny. Juxtapose that with his initially murderous and evil ways and he's just as unpredictable as kid buu and maybe more interesting because fat buu does have the intellect to present that contrast. Cool video! I enjoyed the buu arc regardless and you made me think about the good points kid buu did bring to the table.
Exactly you get it mate, Buu is his own independent type of Villain in comparison to who became before him which makes his Arc different, I disagree with this video summary bit describing Fat Buu - to Super Buu. We learn why Fat buu is the way he is, he absorbed Kais. I think what is forgotten AGAIN unlike previous villains Buu is based on being a Magic Entity hence why ordinary combat fails against Fat Buu. Even Babidi & Bibidi are Wizards, it's even in their names Bibidi, Babidi, Buu its a spell from one of those Disney cartoons can't remember which the reference is from maybe Cinderella or something. Plus he is a demon, Demon & Magic is otherworldly stuff so its only natural to have a different style of Villian. We still don't know much about Buu's origins and Dragon Ball has only lightly touched on the Demon Realm so its yet to be fully explored in a greater sense. I LOVE THE BUU SAGA it doesn't deserve the kind of hate it seems to get. I can talk all day about this Saga but the bases of the Buu saga was to introduce us to its expanded universe the elements of magic, fusions, beings/entities other than Aliens such as Kai's & Demons/Wizards, other Realms & well a new style of Villain as you could say Buu was a stepping stone or a leap onto Godly like powerful fighters as an introduction. Since Beerus was aware of Majin Buu Eons ago who knows perhaps Buu might of been a former God of Destruction who was let go from the ranks for being too chaotic? Again Buu's true origins would make a fascinating chapter or special in this series.
Kid Buu was actually the real Majin Buu. Fat Buu was really one of the Supreme Kais absorbed by Majin Buu so he adopted the child-like, carefree personality that the Kai had.

Kid Buu was more DANGEROUS purely because he did not give a shit, little dude blew up the earth for shits and giggles, then teleported to another planet with life to do it again. many, many times even ready to end the AFTERLIFE, how many bad guys have done that?
@@TheAuron32 I don't think normal attacks even work against Kid Buu anyway, because Kid Buu is a completely magical and nigh immortal being, so normal ki and physical attacks don't work against him. I know Laughingstockmedia made a video about it a while ago. Buu's regeneration is so powerful it makes almost immortal.
The Buu saga introduced fusion, Super Saiyan 3 & Ultimate Gohan only for all that to be absorbed into Buu. Not even Goku & Vegeta fusing into Vegito could stop Buu(well it was to get the absorbed fighters out of Buu). In the end, what kills the evil buu? A SPIRIT BOMB. That trope of "if fusion fails then use the spirit bomb" was used for Omega Shenron & Merged Zamasu.
A lot of people just don’t realize that buu unlocked 🔓 everyone’s madness and attitude they have in super. Beast and orange 🍊 piccolo are evil forms. Only thing I didn’t like is they should have stuck with gray kid buu too much pink
Fat and Super Buu are kinda similar but opposites of each other but all forms of Buu have one thing in common: BEING SIMPLE. They aren’t the grandiose type of villains, they have no goals, they just do things when they feel like it or it interests them. Fat Buu when he first came around, he’s the most tame and reasonable, preferring to “play” by causing destruction (but can change that habit), eating food/candy or sleeping. Super Buu however, is strangely *close* to that of a Saiyan’s actions, preferring to fight someone to occupy himself and that’s it but make him BORED he’s gonna fuck shit up. But his difference is to absorb anyone that he deems a threat to his life and becomes stronger and smarter but still with no real goals. Like with Frieza, he’s an EVIL motherfucker but he as a goal in life by fulfilling his duties as the “Emperor of the Universe” and has an interest of being a Planet Trader, being a businessman, living to CONTROL. He’ll only kill you if you meet with failure or make him angry enough during his missions. For Cell, his goal is to fulfill his function: PERFECTION. Once he gained that, he transitions into a goal to that of an obsession for combat and entertaining himself, to keep testing his strength (unlike Super Buu), a twisted version of what Goku wants in life in satisfaction. He wants to battle strong opponents who can push him to evolve like a Saiyan can and if an opponent can’t provide that satisfaction, he can just simply kill them for their failures. Finally, Kid Buu. He’s just simply an agent of chaos. He just fucks shit up just because he CAN and laughs about it. A wacky being you can’t predict what he’s gonna do and it shows to how he moves and acts. He doesn’t fight for a purpose like the other main villains, he just DOES for the hell of it too! He sleeps yes, but when he wakes up, it’s lights out for you! Understand that Super Buu and Kid Buu on how they perform differ; Super Buu fights to kill time, while Kid Buu…just GOES FOR IT, he don’t give a fuck. IT’S ON SIGHT. Fast or slow, it don’t matter to him. And to me, Kid Buu is just pure BRUTAL FUN.

@@DarthDarkrai To help you out, Majin Buu isn’t really a demon, he’s a like that of a Djinn (A genie but he doesn’t do wishes). When you think of “Demon”, you think of beings like Dabura. As for the reference, yes, you nailed it, it’s Cinderella. Also, yes, Majin Buu as an entity still remains as a big mystery. It would be cool that if Uub tries to rediscover himself, he’ll probably want to understand how his power works and how he was “born” in his previous life. Cause from what we understand, Buu is being of pure destruction and evil gathered into a living thing (Like Janemba) and also, Buu didn’t get his “God Ki” according to the Super Manga until he absorbed the Kais since they were in him for so long.
@@RichDXtreme247 I'm aware of how Buu was able to obtain Godly Ki due to his absorption abilities we can definitely say Buu is an entity for sure as until Good Buu split and created a life for himself on Earth it's fair to assume Kid Buu was the only one of his kind to ever exist. Kid/Evil Buu has been referred to as a Demon across the series, Anime and games at times that's why I described him as one. ALSO it's literally in his name Majin means - One of Supernatural Abilities and translates into Demon/Demonic/devil/Magic person. Until Buu has a in-depth origins story guess we will never know how he truly came to be, for all we know it could've been demon realm magic/influences that had created Buu. I think it was only recently like maybe the past 5 years, that Toryiama from memory, had retconned that in fact it was Bibidi who had found Buu not made him as once suggested in the anime years ago, can't remember exactly when or if it was stated in the super Manga during Moro saga? But yeh Buu's origins sure is fascinating to explore the more the DB universe expands since Beerus inception into the series
@@QaamansLandoh I thought you just had a video talking about making dragon ball videos lol it was good I left a comment telling you I’m up for collab if your down
I just finished the Buu Saga before watching this, and I really liked it from start to end. I have to hand it to Toriyama for making this the most grim yet silliest arc in Dragonball so far.

Freiza would of destroyed Earth if he listen to his daddy, and he could of if trunks didn't catch the SuperNova, or cell tried to destroy earth twice but was stopped by father and son
I liked the whole Buu arc, but Kid Buu was hands down the most fun. A pint-sized monster having a high-energy brawl with Goku and Vegeta is what Dragon Ball is all about. It's weird, it's exciting, and it's action-packed.
Instead of a whole arc I genuinely think the first part of the saga would’ve been an amazing short OVA series that either ends with Gohan learning his lesson about slacking or with Buu’s defeat being through Vegeta’s sacrifice.
I love the Buu saga honestly, all of it I think it does a good job at deconstructing the notion that as the new generation grow up, that the old generation should just step aside and let them handle things alone instead of helping to solve the problems beside them We see this as, even with buu kicking around, Goku's way to deal with it wasn't to defeat him himself, but instead to train up inexperienced kids to fight buu themself. Still maintaining the idea that he needs to step aside completely for new fighters to take his place, which was a mistake that caused everything to go wrong. and even with Gohan, who was trained for many, many years, still is not nearly the fighter that Goku and Vegeta are and nor does he really even want to be either, only doing so out of obligation. Where as cells were a representation of the sins of older generations, Buu, in all forms, represents both the potential and the issues on relying on youth alone. Fat Buu was a representation of abused and misguided youth, a genuine good soul that acts evil due to being fathered by bibidi and babidi and only being shown and allowed to act in cruelity. When Mr Satan took him under his wing, he was genuinely improving and learning morality. It was only when he was reshown cruelity by the shooter that he backtracks into malice, with evil buu being a representation of the trauma inflicted onto Buu by his previous masters. Super buu, then, being the fusion of the innocence of Fat buu and the trauma of Evil buu, is, more than Kid Buu, THE perfect monster that bibidi and babidi wish to mould Buu into. Looking the part of a strong monsterous being, acting the part, and unlike kid buu who is purely chaotic, being just docile enough to be potentially controllable. Except without a master, he only seeks hedonistic joy through eating and fighting as without any guidance, he returns back to what's comfortable, which was the cruelity that his previous masters made him live in and what were raised in. Buutenks and eventually Buuhan represent represent how, without guidance or direction, and with immense power, that youth and potential become arrogance. The biggest difference between him and Cell (while admittedly, they're quite similar) is that Cell believes he's perfection in how he is, that his potential is secondary to the fact that he's already perfect as is, whilst Buuhan believes it's his potential for growth due to his absorptions that make him perfect, that his potential is primary to his perfection. and finally, Kid Buu is the representation of Youth's full potential to change and alter the world, but due to misguidance and being taught nothing but cruelity, and now being completely devoid of Guidance in life, can only cause and can only want to cause devastation unapologetically so. Goku wants to see kid buu reborn as a good person because desires to see the potential of youth change the world for the better, and bemoans how despite the potential that Buu holds, he can only cause destruction and desires nothing else. I can go on, but looking at the Buu saga as being a warning about the over reliance on and the misguidance of youth by elders, it becomes so much better of an arc that it's wild
kid buu is the strongest non fused buu. You cant really count the fusions like ultimate buuhan because technically ALL versions of buu can absorb and fuse with people, including kid buu, which is how fat buu was created to begin with. Basically Buu is his strongest and original form, all other forms are just personality disorders because of his ability to fuse with people. So yes, ultimate buuhan is the strongest buu form, but for all intents and purposes kid buu is still capable of absorbing goku, vegeta, gohan, or anyone else to also achieve that form. To me, its like saying "perfect cell is stronger than imperfect cell". Well ya he is, but he is the same being. The difference between buu from cell/freiza is that buu doesnt transform, he absorbs in order to change forms and personality but essentially he is the same being. Its not quite like a fusion either, where vegito is a completely different being from goku or vegeta.

@Anonymous99666 super buu is a fusion/absorption of fat buu. Its bot a matter of which buu is strongest. They are all the same and they all originated from kid buu and they all revert back to kidd buu. This is why super buu was so afraid of having fat buu removed from his cacoon. Him getting stronger or weaker wasnt the issue to super buu. It was about correcting his personality disorder, which only happened because of the kai. Kid buu is literally PURE evil, so all of his personality disorders were because of the good that was in the kai. Even super buu had some good in him because of that. So when that was removed, but simply returned to his original state. I cant stress this enough, super buu is kid buu. Fat buu is kid buu. All the buus are kid buu. Super buu and fat buu are simply personality defects tainted the pure evil of kid buu. What makes kid buu the strongest enemy in DB is his absorption technique. It LITERALLY does not not matter if buuhan was the srongest form of buu, because at any point kid buu can absorb gohan aswell. Infact, you can say he did because kid buu and super buu are the exact same being...
It doesn't seem like normal attacks even work against Kid Buu anyway, because Kid Buu is a completely magical and nigh immortal being, so ordinary ki and physical attacks never have any permanent effect on him.
I'm a kid Buu worshipper, he is the goat, it took fat Buu, Goku, Vegeta, the biggest spirit ball ever, and a literal dragon ball wish in the middle of the struggle to beat him.kidbuu= best buu
Qaaman , in real life would Vegito have life by the throat (not taking into account his power) but with his personality he fits the description of a real life Chad
The internet is full of Buu Saga criticism, but as a teen during the OG Funimation/Toonami run, my friends and I absolutely loved it from start to finish. Everything has its up and downs, but what doesn't? The whole series can be criticized in places, but the sheer oddity and colorfulness of the Buu saga was a breath of fresh air at the tail end of the best action anime of all time.
The buu saga is great- the whole thing is ostensibly one giant fight against Majin Buu. But it opens up the rules of the Kais, crazy character development for vegeta (and Gohan), new forms and fusion and its just a lot of fun
@@Invisibleboy999 not really, buuhan is best Buu, and vegito is my favorite fusion I like the design more than gogeta, don't get me wrong both are cool
Fat Buu might be childish, but he can also be pretty creepy before he became Mr Satan's friend, and split off from his evil side. Babidi, and Mr Satan are the core of Fat Buu's character. Even though the character is simple, he still has a good character arc because of those two supporting characters. Super Buu, Buutenks, and Buuhan are basically the same character, just fused with our main protagonists with new abilities, and more intelligence. The fight with Gohan gets pretty creepy, and Buu turns the tables on him in a smart way. It's the characters actions, and moments around Buu that make Buu a great villian. Every form of Buu pushes them to new heights in both power, and character development. That's the entire point of an antagonist.
Nice work on the video. I would agree kid buu saved this arc Complete psychopath. And wow I never made that Satan connection before it makes sense. So many good points you make about everyone’s character arc’s. Really good. 😁

My headcannon is the fight between Fat Buu and Evil Buu happens in Buu’s mind because Evil Buu’s design is so different other than clothes his physical traits are reversed. To anyone looking it would seem Fat Buu just morphs into Super Buu
Fat buu isn't unintelligent. He's just innocent. Grand supreme kai was very intelligent. But maybe after many years the absorbed characters influence wanes and buu goes closer to his true form again.
The one thing I love about Purest Form Buu (aka "Kid Buu" in the localization supplementaries) is how uncontrolled he is. He's the original demon that existed for time immillennial, the force of chaos summoned by Bibidi. Compared to initial Majin Buu and Evil Majin Buu ("Super Buu" in localized supplementaries, not to be confused with Pure Evil Majin Buu, dubbed simply "Evil Buu" in localization) who could at least be reasoned with through their connection to Mark (Evil Majin Buu held off from killing Videl simply for being Mark's daughter), Purest Buu has _nothing_ holding him back and will simply destroy you because he feels like it and he finds it funny. In his debut alone he accomplishes what all other villains at that point failed to do and actively destroys Earth. On top of that, the anime then has him go beyond his previous form finding the Heavenly Realm by _going straight to the afterlife and getting ready to render everyone there deader than dead well before Zeno pulled that,_ only being stopped by his sensing Goku's ki and showing up in the Realm of the Kais. You covered a lot of these points here, but that really speaks to how well Purest Buu was executed. His death is still pretty great for me too, what with Goku lampshading how even he got tired of all of Buu's form changing. Plus he came back as Uub years later, so that's nice.

i have my gripes with this arc but all in all i had my excitement watching it especially when all seemed hopeless and Buuhan was finally getting taken down to eventually revealing Kid Buu as the final be all end all villain with how maniacal and just downright evil he was made it all the more satisfying with the spirit bomb at the end. Also don't flame Goku for saving Dende and Satan, he didnt have enough time to react and his heart decided for him on saving the innocent while escaping a blast that would've killed him too if he went for all of the people that Kid Buu put in their positions
I think you're too harsh to Fat Buu. I mean it's almost transparent that he won't be the final villain looking at how Android/Cell saga happened. Either someone else take over or he gets a new form. Him being a literal child who's too naive is pretty unique, and might be the only time in DBZ that diplomacy actually worked. But I mostly agree with this video. Even if it had some cool stuff I thought Super Buu parts were a mess and all over the place. The moment Kid Buu arrived felt like the story started to go into a proper direction. And how Goku defeated him without some kind of new form and just relying on teamwork is quite unique, reminded me of how he and his friends defeated Vegeta in Saiyan Saga.
Think about the boo saga kind of irritated me is that having Vegeta train nonstop seven years and then being under control by the wizard only bring out super Saiyan two what it should’ve pushed them to super Saiyan three so we could get ultimate showdown between the two rivals, they should have done thatI believe they really messed up on that part
You're miss infrom, Vegeta don't let Babi control him, Vegeta had ssj2 before he became Majin, and ssj3 wasn't though of yet and Goku only got ssj3 because he was dead
I’m not sure how it is either. There is the mark of the beast but the M clearly comes from “Majin”which is vague some kind of demonic/devilish creature in Japanese.
I like kid Buu bc of how evil he is like just seeing him destroy earth then destroy the next place was mind blowing. As for strength kid Buu is not real strong his power would be equal to super Buu so for the buus it would go buuhan,super/kid Buu,evil Buu and then fat Buu
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD he was both that's why they call his form pure evil Buu bc of how he was made ( Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu is a magical, genie-like life form that has existed since ancient times, cycling between periods of hibernation and rampages. During these cycles, Buu absorbs the evil elements of humanity, which makes him increasingly violent and evil) And in super they changed it to where bibide created him out of pure evil that's why went around killing bc he was pure evil.
now yes kid buu scared him but he was just having fun. it was still in there somewhere the knowledge of mark. and super buu didn’t wanna hurt videl he could smell Hercules scent from her as if he’s an animal. They as a whole might be the worst z villain , but Frieza and cell are literally 2 of the greatest villains in any anime show or movie.
let’s not pretend that hercule ate those hits 😂 Vegeta couldn’t. he love tapped him. ya he’s mindless, but he has to have a heart to function still My favorite part of the the goku kid buu fight is when goku smiled and just blew him up at point blank range 😂😂😂 yeah it did nothing but it’s still so funny
Since evil characters got redemption and return to earth, I wonder why Dabura wasn't given this same opportunity like the others? Babidi did turn on him once Buu is hatch, and he was assisting the wives of Goku, Gohan, & Videl in afterlife.
Kid Buu is really my favorite character for his antics and his destructive/unhinged/unpredictable personality. Regardless of how strong he is compared to other Buus or future villains, that's never changing. (Though I am a silent believer he's a little stronger than base Super Buu. Not Buuhan. I don't care enough to argue)
I love Kid Buu. He’s my favorite. That said I really didn’t think anyone had the option that the beginning of the arc was good (I start at Majin Vegeta when I rewatch) or that any of the buus are “bad”. Fat buu was interesting to me, Super buu was had rhe coolest plot points, and Kid Buu was the coolest to watch fight cuz how he moved and his unpredictability. (Ion count evil buu cuz he got 2 eps and like a half chapter. He don’t exist lol)
Tbh I have noticed that toriyama doesn’t really add a lot of uniqueness to his villains in terms of design and fighting prowess. We go from having a green nemekian as a villain to having a green bug man as a villain to a green fused Kai as a villain . We go from having a pink lizard to having a pink bubblegum creature to having a pink haired goku as a villain. All of toriyamas villains are either pink or green themed with not very differering motives. Look at GT or the Z movies and look at all the different types of villain designs/ techniques we get. Don’t get me wrong I love the author and creator of this series I’m just saying when it came to villains you can kinda tell he got tunnel vision
dragonball franchise is indeed a masterpiece! i have started watching naruto recently and in my opinion i love all the dragonball series thank you toriyama!
@@QaamansLand Ok so theres this take floating around where Goku was adamant of stopping Buu at the beginning of the Buu Arc and then when Goku goes SSJ3 he decides to instead of ending the fight and killing Buu he decides to make the next generation fight Buu and people think that he shouldve went SSJ3 against Majin Vegeta to stop the threat of Buu
Two points I wanna talk about: 1. Honestly, I look at Buu's voices like this: The original Japanese highlights the immillennial MANchild that Buu is, being able to speak full sentences but still being a giant immature guy who has no concept of money and can be easily swayed; and the English dub highlights the manCHILD part of him, speaking primitively and having a high-pitched innocent voice to go with it, still easily swayed and with a massive sweet tooth and not being all that bright, yet can still be clever when he wants. 2. Goku always seems to be the one blamed for Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo's deaths, _*but what the hell was stopping Vegeta from making a swoop down and saving at least two of them?_ What, because he was behind Goku, he couldn't make it down in time? His hands were just as empty as Goku's, what's stopping him?
Maybe this is dumb, but i always wished that instead of using the wish to restore Goku's energy, Buu had used IT to dodge the bomb and Gohan was wished to the location to deflect it at bui like he did in the Saiyan saga, adding that last bit of energy it needed to destroy Buu, jist to hive him a proper role
Nah, Fat Buu's entrance in the German dub with the original Japanese music was still pretty lit for me. He was really creepy. I'd say he wasn't that interesting anymore after his fight against Vegeta. Regarding Super Buu, I actually find him quite uninteresting from the get-go. I was intrigued by Grey Buu, but, at least today, I find Pink Super Buu quite disappointing. Blowing up that guy from the inside was pleasantly "scary", though.
Fans of the story prefer super buu. Dragon ball stans like Kidd buu more because he represents what Dragon ball casuals are all about. Destruction and fast paced action. The best writing came from the super buu stuff tho.
Ah idk about that, Tha Kidd Buu fight wasn't all that, the Ulimate Gohan vs Super Buu or Super Vegito vs Buuhan is better
Heavy disagree. They were both one sided and kinda dragged out.
@@LordZula it's okay you can be wrong, doesn't matter if they're one sided, Gohan vs cell one was side, Goku vs Frieza was one sided
I feel like the Kid Buu section of the arc had more substance with the characters fighting Buu. The Super Buu section was just fighting to simply drag out the story along.
@@MereMere that's only because it was dragged out to get to kid Buu, Majin Buu should of died to Gohan or Vegito
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD I much prefer the Spirit Bomb ending over those alternatives. Everyone lending their energy to defeat the final villain feels more satisfying than Gohan winning just because he got his potential unlocked or some random character spawnning into existence just to defeat the villain.
Kid Buu being born and immediately destroying the earth has got to be the greatest anime pull up of all time. Kid Buu gave zero fucks and was truly HIM.
He destroyed a earth that basically had no people on it, compare to super Buu who kill the human population with one attack and ate most of the Main characters
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD Oh yeah, that was pretty good too.
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD It's still the same world that King Cold would have bombarded from space, if not for his son. We saw it happen to other worlds, and now it was Earth's turn.
This is exactly the opinion an American would have. Expolsion cool , boom boom yea pow pow .
Michael Bay good.
Not a "pull up"...obvious ebonics speaking codename black fan
I actually liked Fat Buu as an antagonist.
He really feels like nothing like the previous big bads, but in the best way possible. I love villains who are *deceitfully* dangerous.
Like yeah, when you first see the guy, you first go *"really? THIS Kirby reject? This is our bad guy?"* But then he one shots Dabura, a Super-Perfect Cell level character without effort &-... Yeah, this guy is terrifying & the fact that his design does a good job making you think otherwise is kinda genius.
But yeah, it'd be very weird to have him stay for the long-run, so I'm glad we got Kid Buu in the end (Budokai 2 war flashbacks notwithstanding)
He was annoying but gt and super made me like him a little more
Seeing Super's villains made me appreciate fat buu a lot more than I used too
He's still my least fave main Z villain but I like him a lot more than I used too
Bro. The fucking kid buu fight on budokai 2 was so brutal
@@casanovasparks89 It's so unforgiving. Fighting him is bad enough, but reaching him isn't much better & if Goku loses all of his HP squares, you have to do the final map all over again JUST to get another shot & that final map is long as fuck!

People just don't know to have fun and goof around. Fat Buu was great. Super Buu was great too, or at least good. The Buu arc gets wayyy too much hate

Never met a person that said they hated it. I heard Super and Gt, but never any of the originals.
The buu arc was my favorite
BuuHan was OP but Kid Buu was more interesting as he was the original form of chaos/evil.
How? If all he is is pure evil? Seems like a pretty flat character. He was a flat character.

Quaman went into fairly good detail about what made Kid Buu interesting,@@letsgobrandon1906
Buuhan now would probably go Beast Form.
Kid Buu is like a nuclear reactor if all the workers suddenly quit and walked out. The end result is terrifying
The Great Saiyaman and World Tournament Sagas were good buildups.
The Babidi and Majin Buu Sagas were action packed and emotional.
The Fusion Saga (In Retrospect) was a drawn out mess.
The Kid Buu Saga picked back up, with an action/emotional thrill ride.
I always had a soft spot for Super Buu, but I think that was primarily influenced by his portrayal in the Budokai 2 game. They weirdly give him more character there than in the show. You could feel it in the voice acting.
I've always liked using the "What-if" absorptions that were available. You'd think Xenoverse would've done something like that since their whole thing is a bunch of "What-if" scenarios.
Though something never sat right with me when Super Buu died, the frantic begging he makes towards Vegeta when he realizes what he's doing and the line "Please let go! If you tear out those attachments I won't be *ME* anymore!" made me feel a bit bad for the guy. The pained screaming as he was trying to keep himself together both on the inside and outside didn't help. If you think about it he was pretty much the only form of a conscience for Kid Buu.
He didn't just die, he literally ceased to exist.
Kid Buu is everything I need
I think the main problem with the Buu Saga is ironically everything after. The Buu Saga was supposed to be the end for Dragon Ball but because it wasn't, it just gets worse as time goes on.
Take SSJ3 for example. I've seen everywhere people calling the form useless, but in the context of the Buu saga, it absolutely wasn't. SSJ3 was supposed to be the final stage of SSJ that unlike 2 was supposed to be reserved for special people in special circumstances like being a fusion or afterlife training. Since Goku had it, it basically put him in an entire world Vegeta could never reach and so he just had to admit Goku was better than him. In modern dragon ball, Vegeta isn't like that anymore. He's regressed to wanting to surpass Goku again and while it makes sense for Super's story. That's just one way the Buu Saga has been hurt over time.
Vegeta character has been getting better each arc and ot reached its peak in gt
The Buu saga was the end of DBZ. Not Super or any modern Dragon Ball media
For all the story issues the Boo Arc has had through and through, the final battle against Pure Majin Boo is one of the best fights in the series. After all, it helped to give character arcs to a close and everyone had a role to make it happen, which is something I cannot say for other final fights such as Goku vs. Freeza and Gohan vs. Cell.
This is an interestingly positive perspective. A lot of good points are made. Story-wise as you said, it brought about redemption for some characters. As far as my common sense goes, buus power regressing and Gohan being left out of the picture are hard for me to let go. Just feels like Toriyama built up the situation a certain way and then just changed his mind multiple times.
I also have always liked fat buu as an antagonist because he felt like an old school Toriyama character that was wacky and funny. Juxtapose that with his initially murderous and evil ways and he's just as unpredictable as kid buu and maybe more interesting because fat buu does have the intellect to present that contrast.
Cool video! I enjoyed the buu arc regardless and you made me think about the good points kid buu did bring to the table.
Exactly you get it mate, Buu is his own independent type of Villain in comparison to who became before him which makes his Arc different, I disagree with this video summary bit describing Fat Buu - to Super Buu. We learn why Fat buu is the way he is, he absorbed Kais. I think what is forgotten AGAIN unlike previous villains Buu is based on being a Magic Entity hence why ordinary combat fails against Fat Buu. Even Babidi & Bibidi are Wizards, it's even in their names Bibidi, Babidi, Buu its a spell from one of those Disney cartoons can't remember which the reference is from maybe Cinderella or something. Plus he is a demon, Demon & Magic is otherworldly stuff so its only natural to have a different style of Villian. We still don't know much about Buu's origins and Dragon Ball has only lightly touched on the Demon Realm so its yet to be fully explored in a greater sense. I LOVE THE BUU SAGA it doesn't deserve the kind of hate it seems to get. I can talk all day about this Saga but the bases of the Buu saga was to introduce us to its expanded universe the elements of magic, fusions, beings/entities other than Aliens such as Kai's & Demons/Wizards, other Realms & well a new style of Villain as you could say Buu was a stepping stone or a leap onto Godly like powerful fighters as an introduction. Since Beerus was aware of Majin Buu Eons ago who knows perhaps Buu might of been a former God of Destruction who was let go from the ranks for being too chaotic? Again Buu's true origins would make a fascinating chapter or special in this series.
The Kid Buu saga was awesome 😊
Kid Buu was actually the real Majin Buu. Fat Buu was really one of the Supreme Kais absorbed by Majin Buu so he adopted the child-like, carefree personality that the Kai had.

Technically 2 Kai’s (buff buu don’t forget) each time it made him a lil more innocent and docile
Kid Buu was more DANGEROUS purely because he did not give a shit, little dude blew up the earth for shits and giggles, then teleported to another planet with life to do it again. many, many times even ready to end the AFTERLIFE, how many bad guys have done that?
im gussing your pfp would do that too if he could
@@uneditg6848 yeah Fleetway Super Sonic is pretty much an insane demon too 😂
@@TheAuron32 I don't think normal attacks even work against Kid Buu anyway, because Kid Buu is a completely magical and nigh immortal being, so normal ki and physical attacks don't work against him. I know Laughingstockmedia made a video about it a while ago. Buu's regeneration is so powerful it makes almost immortal.
The Buu saga introduced fusion, Super Saiyan 3 & Ultimate Gohan only for all that to be absorbed into Buu. Not even Goku & Vegeta fusing into Vegito could stop Buu(well it was to get the absorbed fighters out of Buu). In the end, what kills the evil buu? A SPIRIT BOMB. That trope of "if fusion fails then use the spirit bomb" was used for Omega Shenron & Merged Zamasu.
your not right but your not wrong
@@thebestcakegoku7346 how am I both right and wrong?
A lot of people just don’t realize that buu unlocked 🔓 everyone’s madness and attitude they have in super. Beast and orange 🍊 piccolo are evil forms. Only thing I didn’t like is they should have stuck with gray kid buu too much pink
Kid buu was clearly a monster in my opinion.
Fat and Super Buu are kinda similar but opposites of each other but all forms of Buu have one thing in common: BEING SIMPLE.
They aren’t the grandiose type of villains, they have no goals, they just do things when they feel like it or it interests them. Fat Buu when he first came around, he’s the most tame and reasonable, preferring to “play” by causing destruction (but can change that habit), eating food/candy or sleeping.
Super Buu however, is strangely *close* to that of a Saiyan’s actions, preferring to fight someone to occupy himself and that’s it but make him BORED he’s gonna fuck shit up. But his difference is to absorb anyone that he deems a threat to his life and becomes stronger and smarter but still with no real goals.
Like with Frieza, he’s an EVIL motherfucker but he as a goal in life by fulfilling his duties as the “Emperor of the Universe” and has an interest of being a Planet Trader, being a businessman, living to CONTROL. He’ll only kill you if you meet with failure or make him angry enough during his missions.
For Cell, his goal is to fulfill his function: PERFECTION. Once he gained that, he transitions into a goal to that of an obsession for combat and entertaining himself, to keep testing his strength (unlike Super Buu), a twisted version of what Goku wants in life in satisfaction. He wants to battle strong opponents who can push him to evolve like a Saiyan can and if an opponent can’t provide that satisfaction, he can just simply kill them for their failures.
Finally, Kid Buu. He’s just simply an agent of chaos. He just fucks shit up just because he CAN and laughs about it. A wacky being you can’t predict what he’s gonna do and it shows to how he moves and acts. He doesn’t fight for a purpose like the other main villains, he just DOES for the hell of it too! He sleeps yes, but when he wakes up, it’s lights out for you! Understand that Super Buu and Kid Buu on how they perform differ; Super Buu fights to kill time, while Kid Buu…just GOES FOR IT, he don’t give a fuck. IT’S ON SIGHT. Fast or slow, it don’t matter to him. And to me, Kid Buu is just pure BRUTAL FUN.

@@DarthDarkrai To help you out, Majin Buu isn’t really a demon, he’s a like that of a Djinn (A genie but he doesn’t do wishes). When you think of “Demon”, you think of beings like Dabura. As for the reference, yes, you nailed it, it’s Cinderella.
Also, yes, Majin Buu as an entity still remains as a big mystery. It would be cool that if Uub tries to rediscover himself, he’ll probably want to understand how his power works and how he was “born” in his previous life. Cause from what we understand, Buu is being of pure destruction and evil gathered into a living thing (Like Janemba) and also, Buu didn’t get his “God Ki” according to the Super Manga until he absorbed the Kais since they were in him for so long.
@@RichDXtreme247 I'm aware of how Buu was able to obtain Godly Ki due to his absorption abilities we can definitely say Buu is an entity for sure as until Good Buu split and created a life for himself on Earth it's fair to assume Kid Buu was the only one of his kind to ever exist. Kid/Evil Buu has been referred to as a Demon across the series, Anime and games at times that's why I described him as one. ALSO it's literally in his name Majin means - One of Supernatural Abilities and translates into Demon/Demonic/devil/Magic person.
Until Buu has a in-depth origins story guess we will never know how he truly came to be, for all we know it could've been demon realm magic/influences that had created Buu. I think it was only recently like maybe the past 5 years, that Toryiama from memory, had retconned that in fact it was Bibidi who had found Buu not made him as once suggested in the anime years ago, can't remember exactly when or if it was stated in the super Manga during Moro saga? But yeh Buu's origins sure is fascinating to explore the more the DB universe expands since Beerus inception into the series

I liked the whole Buu arc, but Kid Buu was hands down the most fun. A pint-sized monster having a high-energy brawl with Goku and Vegeta is what Dragon Ball is all about. It's weird, it's exciting, and it's action-packed.
can you tell me the track id that plays around 6:10
Goku's theme from super butouden
I like kid buu because he looks crazy and unpredictable
Majin Buu oiled up 8k HD
Instead of a whole arc I genuinely think the first part of the saga would’ve been an amazing short OVA series that either ends with Gohan learning his lesson about slacking or with Buu’s defeat being through Vegeta’s sacrifice.
I always wished Goku used the spirit bomb in ssj3 against Kid Buu.
Good thing we have the games
Goku can only use the spirit bomb in his normal state not as a ssj
I love the Buu saga honestly, all of it
I think it does a good job at deconstructing the notion that as the new generation grow up, that the old generation should just step aside and let them handle things alone instead of helping to solve the problems beside them
We see this as, even with buu kicking around, Goku's way to deal with it wasn't to defeat him himself, but instead to train up inexperienced kids to fight buu themself. Still maintaining the idea that he needs to step aside completely for new fighters to take his place, which was a mistake that caused everything to go wrong. and even with Gohan, who was trained for many, many years, still is not nearly the fighter that Goku and Vegeta are and nor does he really even want to be either, only doing so out of obligation.
Where as cells were a representation of the sins of older generations, Buu, in all forms, represents both the potential and the issues on relying on youth alone. Fat Buu was a representation of abused and misguided youth, a genuine good soul that acts evil due to being fathered by bibidi and babidi and only being shown and allowed to act in cruelity. When Mr Satan took him under his wing, he was genuinely improving and learning morality. It was only when he was reshown cruelity by the shooter that he backtracks into malice, with evil buu being a representation of the trauma inflicted onto Buu by his previous masters.
Super buu, then, being the fusion of the innocence of Fat buu and the trauma of Evil buu, is, more than Kid Buu, THE perfect monster that bibidi and babidi wish to mould Buu into. Looking the part of a strong monsterous being, acting the part, and unlike kid buu who is purely chaotic, being just docile enough to be potentially controllable. Except without a master, he only seeks hedonistic joy through eating and fighting as without any guidance, he returns back to what's comfortable, which was the cruelity that his previous masters made him live in and what were raised in.
Buutenks and eventually Buuhan represent represent how, without guidance or direction, and with immense power, that youth and potential become arrogance. The biggest difference between him and Cell (while admittedly, they're quite similar) is that Cell believes he's perfection in how he is, that his potential is secondary to the fact that he's already perfect as is, whilst Buuhan believes it's his potential for growth due to his absorptions that make him perfect, that his potential is primary to his perfection.
and finally, Kid Buu is the representation of Youth's full potential to change and alter the world, but due to misguidance and being taught nothing but cruelity, and now being completely devoid of Guidance in life, can only cause and can only want to cause devastation unapologetically so. Goku wants to see kid buu reborn as a good person because desires to see the potential of youth change the world for the better, and bemoans how despite the potential that Buu holds, he can only cause destruction and desires nothing else.
I can go on, but looking at the Buu saga as being a warning about the over reliance on and the misguidance of youth by elders, it becomes so much better of an arc that it's wild
Wtf I never really thought about it that way.
Nice analysis
kid buu is the strongest non fused buu. You cant really count the fusions like ultimate buuhan because technically ALL versions of buu can absorb and fuse with people, including kid buu, which is how fat buu was created to begin with. Basically Buu is his strongest and original form, all other forms are just personality disorders because of his ability to fuse with people. So yes, ultimate buuhan is the strongest buu form, but for all intents and purposes kid buu is still capable of absorbing goku, vegeta, gohan, or anyone else to also achieve that form.
To me, its like saying "perfect cell is stronger than imperfect cell". Well ya he is, but he is the same being. The difference between buu from cell/freiza is that buu doesnt transform, he absorbs in order to change forms and personality but essentially he is the same being. Its not quite like a fusion either, where vegito is a completely different being from goku or vegeta.

@Anonymous99666 super buu is a fusion/absorption of fat buu. Its bot a matter of which buu is strongest. They are all the same and they all originated from kid buu and they all revert back to kidd buu. This is why super buu was so afraid of having fat buu removed from his cacoon. Him getting stronger or weaker wasnt the issue to super buu. It was about correcting his personality disorder, which only happened because of the kai. Kid buu is literally PURE evil, so all of his personality disorders were because of the good that was in the kai. Even super buu had some good in him because of that. So when that was removed, but simply returned to his original state.
I cant stress this enough, super buu is kid buu. Fat buu is kid buu. All the buus are kid buu. Super buu and fat buu are simply personality defects tainted the pure evil of kid buu. What makes kid buu the strongest enemy in DB is his absorption technique.
It LITERALLY does not not matter if buuhan was the srongest form of buu, because at any point kid buu can absorb gohan aswell. Infact, you can say he did because kid buu and super buu are the exact same being...
It doesn't seem like normal attacks even work against Kid Buu anyway, because Kid Buu is a completely magical and nigh immortal being, so ordinary ki and physical attacks never have any permanent effect on him.
Goten and trunks been 10 since I was. Born. They competing with ash. Even gohan aged 💀
I'm a kid Buu worshipper, he is the goat, it took fat Buu, Goku, Vegeta, the biggest spirit ball ever, and a literal dragon ball wish in the middle of the struggle to beat him.kidbuu= best buu
Love the thumbnail
I just changed it slightly. Opinion?
That was an interesting video
I say this with love for the community, but to me Buu was the ICP flavor of villain. The unpredictability, chaos, and unsettling laugh
What "R" word? 3:30
"The Re-Lower-Intelligence-Disability Word"
1st act was great, 2nd was a bit messy, 3rd was also messy but on its own satisfying.
Qaaman , in real life would Vegito have life by the throat (not taking into account his power) but with his personality he fits the description of a real life Chad
Good analysis bro
Love your biblical point outs brother. I can’t stop seeing them in shows and movies and even games
16:08 The fuck? Did Vegeta's hair turn back to his original brown again?
Love the video Qaaman I concur with everything you say in it
I wish they would introduce Android 21 (aka Vomi) in anime. Since she also transforms into a Buu Android hybrid.
The internet is full of Buu Saga criticism, but as a teen during the OG Funimation/Toonami run, my friends and I absolutely loved it from start to finish. Everything has its up and downs, but what doesn't?
The whole series can be criticized in places, but the sheer oddity and colorfulness of the Buu saga was a breath of fresh air at the tail end of the best action anime of all time.
Im young and stupid at @1:02 what's the biblically reference?
Mark of the beast
I loved Kid Buu. The fight was top notch and he was taking some nasty shots at point blank range.
Super Buu is better, He killed the human race with one attack and ate most of the Main characters
The buu saga is great- the whole thing is ostensibly one giant fight against Majin Buu. But it opens up the rules of the Kais, crazy character development for vegeta (and Gohan), new forms and fusion and its just a lot of fun
Bruh I’ve just always f’d with your videos for huge number of years 💯💯💯
What was the biblical significance of the "M"?
He’s implying it’s like the 666 mark of the beast
Majin lol
Branded with the mark of the beast. In plain sight.
@@MajinGaijin thanks.
Super Buu is the strongest and Best buu, and he was the most entertaining
Facts, kid Buu was just a rampaging child
@@dar3algam3r52L opinion ngl
Yes. The real villain.
@@Invisibleboy999mature opinion *
@@Invisibleboy999 not really, buuhan is best Buu, and vegito is my favorite fusion I like the design more than gogeta, don't get me wrong both are cool
Fat Buu might be childish, but he can also be pretty creepy before he became Mr Satan's friend, and split off from his evil side. Babidi, and Mr Satan are the core of Fat Buu's character. Even though the character is simple, he still has a good character arc because of those two supporting characters. Super Buu, Buutenks, and Buuhan are basically the same character, just fused with our main protagonists with new abilities, and more intelligence. The fight with Gohan gets pretty creepy, and Buu turns the tables on him in a smart way. It's the characters actions, and moments around Buu that make Buu a great villian. Every form of Buu pushes them to new heights in both power, and character development. That's the entire point of an antagonist.
"People loves being lied to". Well said.
4:25 I agree. Evil Buu only appeared to be turned into Super Buu
Why’d you change the thumbnail? I liked the first one ha
This doesnt stand out more?
Phenomenal
Huh?
@@QaamansLand this was an excellent video I really liked it I especially enjoyed the commentary at the end of the video
Nice work on the video. I would agree kid buu saved this arc Complete psychopath. And wow I never made that Satan connection before it makes sense. So many good points you make about everyone’s character arc’s. Really good. 😁
The Fat Boo slander is insane, he’s the second best Boo behind Kid Boo.
Buu is his own independent type of Villain in comparison to who became before him which makes his Arc different, I disagree with this video summary bit describing Fat Buu - to Super Buu. We learn why Fat buu is the way he is, he absorbed Kais. I think what is forgotten AGAIN unlike previous villains Buu is based on being a Magic Entity hence why ordinary combat fails against Fat Buu. Even Babidi & Bibidi are Wizards, it's even in their names Bibidi, Babidi, Buu its a spell from one of those Disney cartoons can't remember which the reference is from maybe Cinderella or something. Plus he is a demon, Demon & Magic is otherworldly stuff so its only natural to have a different style of Villian. We still don't know much about Buu's origins and Dragon Ball has only lightly touched on the Demon Realm so its yet to be fully explored in a greater sense. I LOVE THE BUU SAGA it doesn't deserve the kind of hate it seems to get. I can talk all day about this Saga but the bases of the Buu saga was to introduce us to its expanded universe the elements of magic, fusions, beings/entities other than Aliens such as Kai's & Demons/Wizards, other Realms & well a new style of Villain as you could say Buu was a stepping stone or a leap onto Godly like powerful fighters as an introduction. Since Beerus was aware of Majin Buu Eons ago who knows perhaps Buu might of been a former God of Destruction who was let go from the ranks for being too chaotic? Again Buu's true origins would make a fascinating chapter or special in this series.
Took a while for that “institutionalized” joke… but once I got it… 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Explain
That thumbnail is my nightmare now.
Which one? I changed it
I liked all the versions of Buu. Parts of the plot might’ve been bad, or dragged on, but I still liked all the versions of him
My headcannon is the fight between Fat Buu and Evil Buu happens in Buu’s mind because Evil Buu’s design is so different other than clothes his physical traits are reversed.
To anyone looking it would seem Fat Buu just morphs into Super Buu
Fat buu isn't unintelligent. He's just innocent. Grand supreme kai was very intelligent. But maybe after many years the absorbed characters influence wanes and buu goes closer to his true form again.
The one thing I love about Purest Form Buu (aka "Kid Buu" in the localization supplementaries) is how uncontrolled he is. He's the original demon that existed for time immillennial, the force of chaos summoned by Bibidi. Compared to initial Majin Buu and Evil Majin Buu ("Super Buu" in localized supplementaries, not to be confused with Pure Evil Majin Buu, dubbed simply "Evil Buu" in localization) who could at least be reasoned with through their connection to Mark (Evil Majin Buu held off from killing Videl simply for being Mark's daughter), Purest Buu has _nothing_ holding him back and will simply destroy you because he feels like it and he finds it funny. In his debut alone he accomplishes what all other villains at that point failed to do and actively destroys Earth. On top of that, the anime then has him go beyond his previous form finding the Heavenly Realm by _going straight to the afterlife and getting ready to render everyone there deader than dead well before Zeno pulled that,_ only being stopped by his sensing Goku's ki and showing up in the Realm of the Kais. You covered a lot of these points here, but that really speaks to how well Purest Buu was executed. His death is still pretty great for me too, what with Goku lampshading how even he got tired of all of Buu's form changing. Plus he came back as Uub years later, so that's nice.

"I can't say the R word." you coulda let Gohan do it for you.
The worst thing about the boo arc in my opinion is how Piccolo became a babysitter for Goten and Trunks.
i have my gripes with this arc but all in all i had my excitement watching it especially when all seemed hopeless and Buuhan was finally getting taken down to eventually revealing Kid Buu as the final be all end all villain with how maniacal and just downright evil he was made it all the more satisfying with the spirit bomb at the end.
Also don't flame Goku for saving Dende and Satan, he didnt have enough time to react and his heart decided for him on saving the innocent while escaping a blast that would've killed him too if he went for all of the people that Kid Buu put in their positions
Kid Buu is the best version of Majin Buu
Agreed
Nope that would be Super Buu
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GODWrong
@@Mandalore_ultimate incorrect
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD Super Buu fucked around more than any other form of Majin Buu
I think you're too harsh to Fat Buu. I mean it's almost transparent that he won't be the final villain looking at how Android/Cell saga happened. Either someone else take over or he gets a new form. Him being a literal child who's too naive is pretty unique, and might be the only time in DBZ that diplomacy actually worked.
But I mostly agree with this video. Even if it had some cool stuff I thought Super Buu parts were a mess and all over the place. The moment Kid Buu arrived felt like the story started to go into a proper direction. And how Goku defeated him without some kind of new form and just relying on teamwork is quite unique, reminded me of how he and his friends defeated Vegeta in Saiyan Saga.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Think about the boo saga kind of irritated me is that having Vegeta train nonstop seven years and then being under control by the wizard only bring out super Saiyan two what it should’ve pushed them to super Saiyan three so we could get ultimate showdown between the two rivals, they should have done thatI believe they really messed up on that part
You're miss infrom, Vegeta don't let Babi control him, Vegeta had ssj2 before he became Majin, and ssj3 wasn't though of yet and Goku only got ssj3 because he was dead
0:58 What biblical reference is this?
The only thing I can think of is the mark of the beast but thats a stretch and goes on your hand too.
How is it a biblical symbol ?? I’m confused
Mark of the beast 666
@@QaamansLand i still dont get the connection between the two, please elaborate further on this point
I'll do a whole video on it
@@QaamansLand thanks 🙏🏾
I’m not sure how it is either. There is the mark of the beast but the M clearly comes from “Majin”which is vague some kind of demonic/devilish creature in Japanese.
I like kid Buu bc of how evil he is like just seeing him destroy earth then destroy the next place was mind blowing. As for strength kid Buu is not real strong his power would be equal to super Buu so for the buus it would go buuhan,super/kid Buu,evil Buu and then fat Buu
He wasn't evil just violent by nature
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD he was both that's why they call his form pure evil Buu bc of how he was made
( Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu is a magical, genie-like life form that has existed since ancient times, cycling between periods of hibernation and rampages. During these cycles, Buu absorbs the evil elements of humanity, which makes him increasingly violent and evil) And in super they changed it to where bibide created him out of pure evil that's why went around killing bc he was pure evil.
my absolute FAVORITE thing about super buu and kid buu is that they won’t hurt hercule. it reminds me of tfs how cell showed Yamcha love
now yes kid buu scared him but he was just having fun. it was still in there somewhere the knowledge of mark. and super buu didn’t wanna hurt videl he could smell Hercules scent from her as if he’s an animal. They as a whole might be the worst z villain , but Frieza and cell are literally 2 of the greatest villains in any anime show or movie.
let’s not pretend that hercule ate those hits 😂 Vegeta couldn’t. he love tapped him. ya he’s mindless, but he has to have a heart to function still
My favorite part of the the goku kid buu fight is when goku smiled and just blew him up at point blank range 😂😂😂 yeah it did nothing but it’s still so funny
Qaaman is still around? Wow 👌
Since evil characters got redemption and return to earth, I wonder why Dabura wasn't given this same opportunity like the others? Babidi did turn on him once Buu is hatch, and he was assisting the wives of Goku, Gohan, & Videl in afterlife.
Kid Buu is really my favorite character for his antics and his destructive/unhinged/unpredictable personality.
Regardless of how strong he is compared to other Buus or future villains, that's never changing. (Though I am a silent believer he's a little stronger than base Super Buu. Not Buuhan. I don't care enough to argue)
I love Kid Buu. He’s my favorite. That said I really didn’t think anyone had the option that the beginning of the arc was good (I start at Majin Vegeta when I rewatch) or that any of the buus are “bad”. Fat buu was interesting to me, Super buu was had rhe coolest plot points, and Kid Buu was the coolest to watch fight cuz how he moved and his unpredictability. (Ion count evil buu cuz he got 2 eps and like a half chapter. He don’t exist lol)
Tbh I have noticed that toriyama doesn’t really add a lot of uniqueness to his villains in terms of design and fighting prowess. We go from having a green nemekian as a villain to having a green bug man as a villain to a green fused Kai as a villain . We go from having a pink lizard to having a pink bubblegum creature to having a pink haired goku as a villain. All of toriyamas villains are either pink or green themed with not very differering motives. Look at GT or the Z movies and look at all the different types of villain designs/ techniques we get. Don’t get me wrong I love the author and creator of this series I’m just saying when it came to villains you can kinda tell he got tunnel vision
dragonball franchise is indeed a masterpiece! i have started watching naruto recently and in my opinion i love all the dragonball series thank you toriyama!
BAM RODRIGUEZ ALSO FIGHTING
completely off topic but do you think ssj3 assassinates goku’s character?
Huh?
@@QaamansLand Ok so theres this take floating around where Goku was adamant of stopping Buu at the beginning of the Buu Arc and then when Goku goes SSJ3 he decides to instead of ending the fight and killing Buu he decides to make the next generation fight Buu and people think that he shouldve went SSJ3 against Majin Vegeta to stop the threat of Buu
Two points I wanna talk about:
1. Honestly, I look at Buu's voices like this: The original Japanese highlights the immillennial MANchild that Buu is, being able to speak full sentences but still being a giant immature guy who has no concept of money and can be easily swayed; and the English dub highlights the manCHILD part of him, speaking primitively and having a high-pitched innocent voice to go with it, still easily swayed and with a massive sweet tooth and not being all that bright, yet can still be clever when he wants.
2. Goku always seems to be the one blamed for Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo's deaths, _*but what the hell was stopping Vegeta from making a swoop down and saving at least two of them?_ What, because he was behind Goku, he couldn't make it down in time? His hands were just as empty as Goku's, what's stopping him?
immillennial?
Yea them not saving the boys after getting inside buu on purpose felt pointless tbh when they could have gotten redeemed for fumbling earlier
Kid Buu was supposed to be the original threat that everyone was supposed to be afraid of.
Maybe this is dumb, but i always wished that instead of using the wish to restore Goku's energy, Buu had used IT to dodge the bomb and Gohan was wished to the location to deflect it at bui like he did in the Saiyan saga, adding that last bit of energy it needed to destroy Buu, jist to hive him a proper role
The last buu isn't really "kid buu" he is the true majinn buu.
I never liked the fact that Hercule's last name is Satan, but I can see why they gave him that name because he's a manipulator.
Nah, Fat Buu's entrance in the German dub with the original Japanese music was still pretty lit for me. He was really creepy. I'd say he wasn't that interesting anymore after his fight against Vegeta. Regarding Super Buu, I actually find him quite uninteresting from the get-go. I was intrigued by Grey Buu, but, at least today, I find Pink Super Buu quite disappointing. Blowing up that guy from the inside was pleasantly "scary", though.
Kid Buu is my favorite villain of all time
STILL WAITING ON A KID BUU LR FOR DOKKAN BATTLE. What the fuck man. Goddamn.
The Buu Saga was still my favorite
Just now noticing that SS3 Gotenks has vegeta’s widow peak. 😅😅
Fans of the story prefer super buu. Dragon ball stans like Kidd buu more because he represents what Dragon ball casuals are all about. Destruction and fast paced action. The best writing came from the super buu stuff tho.
