Majin Buu sleeping through both Tournaments in Dragon Ball Super was stupid.

Buu did one thing Merge Zamasu couldn't. He killed everyone on earth with 1 move. While Merge Zamasu is still trying to find the rest of the humans hiding.

I agree. There was so much to do to help Buu progress in the story, but instead, they chose to waste Buu's potential

I love kid buu, his unpredictable psychotic behavior is the best thing about him along with the destruction he brings upon everything when he blows up earth and the other planets he visits afterwards.

Don't forget, Gohan said when Buu SLAPPED Dabura "It's like he reached into a well of energy that doesn't end, but it felt..empty..." Wasted concept.

As a huge Majin Buu fan, it still frustrates me to my very core to this day whenever I think about all the massive potential Buu had in dbs that was completely wasted. Hell, with all the involvement relating to Buu in the dbs arcs, he should’ve been involved in every single arc. His relation with Beerus and how he nearly killed him and shut down Whis all by himself, Frieza being warned of Buu from King Cold, dealing with a twin universe that may have their own Buu, trunks’ success in preventing Majin Buu leading to an even greater threat in goku black ruining his timeline, universe 6 bringing their own Buu to fight U7 Buu, the Grand Kai in his body meeting with Beerus and shin again after multiple millennia of being absorbed. I could go on but I’d just go on a rant again so I’ll stop here.

Imagine Beerus dying in his sleep if all the Kais got killed.

The problem with super is it tried too hard to go back to the comedy roots of OG dragonball but sacrifices the competence and growth of all the characters that happened in late dragonball and z by making everyone into an idiot. This is becoming a more common issue across media altogether these days where they take characters that were serious and competent and turning them into bumbling idiots for a cheap laugh. For example Thor over the course of the marvel movies, or Han solo.

Kid Buu was the guy who scared me when I was little watching dbz, even when he danced during Goku's fight I was terrified noticing how he was really just playing around with everyone's life. The fact that he's pure evil by absorbing negative energy too is a pretty cool and interesting concept, I wanted to see more of him honestly

"His character and legacy absolutely sucks in modern Dragon Balls." Whose doesn't?

Imagine Majin Buu learning the Kaioken.

Did not expect this, but I can’t disagree

Kid Buu was an incoherent monster but I love how chaotic he is and how fun he is to play as in the games

I liked all the forms of Buu after absorbing Piccolo. He remained chaotic and evil, but he gained a psychopathic intelligence to go with it. Now his power wasn't just used to destroy for Buu's gain, but to slowly sap the hope away from anybody he faced. He didn't just destroy, he went out of his way to break the spirit of his enemies. People overlook it, but the fight with Gohan and Buu (plus Piccolo and Gotenks) had a lot of psychological torture, so much so I'm surprised it got into the show in retrospect. He could have simply killed Gohan if he wanted at that point, but he didn't. He wanted Gohan to feel existential dread before killing him. That is serious serial killer level psychopathy! Going from such a calculatingly evil form into Kid Buu felt like a step backward for me. He wasn't as psychologically scary, he wasn't as powerful, and seemed less cognizant of his own intentions.

I always wonder if buu could have given Hercule some power so he can experienced being an Z fighter for once.

One thing I disagree with is that I think uub in the baby saga was written well. Fusing back with Buu to obtain the true power of Majin Buu was written near perfectly and yes I agree that his fight with baby should be longer maybe an episode or 2 but seeing uub match the big bad in power that being baby was cool to watch as we see what uubs true potential really is were I can agree it would be great if uub got the win but I can accept and I actually like the idea of him losing on purpose to attack baby on the inside to help Goku in his fight as it shows to me again that uub is also a strategist and not a brawler like some of the other z fighters. Uubs moment of reflecting on his time with Goku after thinking baby killed him felt so natural for him to go through. And finally him coming in to save pan gave me chills even baby gave him praise saying that he surpassed Goku. However I agree that super 17 did uub a disservice by making him usless again super 17. As for the shadow dragons uub was meh. He was the first line of defence for Goku which was cool and his willingness to jump back into the fight to help his mentor was good but he didn't do anything in that arc that was significant. So in my opinion Uub in baby was written well but could be better but I liked the uub losing on purpose to help Goku later. Uub in super 17 was a disservice to the character and he should of at least have been able to hurt super 17 Uub in the shadow dragons was a nothing burger. He should of done something significant like joining in the final assault on omega with Vegeta, Gohan, Goten and trunks.

I recently figured out that my biggest problem with the Buu arc is that it doesn't connect to the other arcs as seamlessly as the previous ones. Before the Buu arc, the consequences of the previous arc propelled the action of the upcoming one, it was good narrative structure. The Buu arc wasn't supposed to exist so it doesn't have that same attatchment. The Buu arc feels like the start of a new series, as opposed to the ending of what has already been established. It introduces a bunch of concepts that the protaganists really don't have a grasp on yet (Fusion, SSJ3, the upper kai realm and demon realms). Now that Super (and honestly... Xenoverse) exists it feels like the story would make more sense if the Buu saga was the start of Super as opposed to the end of Z. The carry over is so much cleaner. Battle of Gods, The Goku Black Arc, the ToP, and the Moro Arc work really well as follow ups of the Buu Arc and if it was written with them in mind, I sincerely, belive based off past evidence, that the writing would've been so much tighter. Keep up the good work, Cheers

I think they purposely wrote him out of the tournament because with a no-kill rule, he’s kind of hax. He doesn’t get tired. Doesn’t really feel pain. Jiren would obviously do whatever he wanted with him, but it could still be problematic. Plus he’d make their team extra OP. Imagine replacing roshi with buu lol

Buu is a goddamn wasted Strawberry Cheesecake!! Those word man, make me laugh, and I have to agree, Majin Buu has fallen far from grace since his saga, and the man is as busted as he can be, hype him up so much just to push him into a damn machine, my heart man.

Majin Boo was bullshitted out of a spot on the Tournament of Power team But then again, if Boo was in the Tournament of Power, it'd just be the world's longest curbstomp. And curbstomps are cool sometimes, but most of the time they're not ideal.

He really was wasted in super they got him all buff and powerful near the tournament of power arc just to do nothing with him it would have been fun to see him in the tournament he didn't even show up in the universe 6 tournament like come on now if you're going to have Majin Buu around at least do something with him make him useful or at the very least memorable don't just keep him in the show just to be another character to fill out the ranks I've been telling people this for ages but I guess they just don't get it... He was better when he was a villain.

I think what could've fixed his standing in Super (since at that point his involvement in the eventual Morro story in the manga) is if he sleeps in the universe 6 tourney, but come time for the ToP, he refuses to participate suddenly out of nowhere, never gives a reason why, and even threatens people like Goku and Mr. Satan to try and force him. Hinting at the idea that he doesn't want to leave the universe for unknown reasons. This would set up the eventual Morro arc, and reveal that the sudden change in personality is due to the re-ermerging memories of the Grand Supreme Kai who has become aware that Morro is going to be a threat sometime in the future.

As far as versions of Buu are concerned, I still think the best version of Buu is Buutenks. Not only does he look completely badass during his entire screen time, but he was also playing psychological mind games on Gohan in a way that was both creepy and kind of fascinating. Honestly, I think he was the smartest version of Buu because he didn't absorb Gohan's overconfidence yet. He also presented himself in a way that made him look like the most cunning and menacing version of Buu. Also the fusion vest he was wearing looked cool as fuck and matched with the clothes he had on which also makes him cooler.

Modern Buu be like 😴😴😴😴😴😴 Especially in the tournaments.

I wanna see Buu learn to maintain his super/kid forms while retaining his sanity

If Beerus cared about living, he would've taken care of Majin Buu, before Bibidi had used him to kill the Kais.

I feel bad for my boy Uub. He was my favorite character to play in BT2 but it hurts knowing how they did him dirty overall

Got to love the Scholar and I am with you once again.. Its so nice to hear a different Dragon bAll youtuber, you are true to what you believe and there is a huge portion of the fandom that agrees with you.

"I got it, let's put Freiza in the tournament roster!" "But we already got buu, Goku..." "Well then how does Freiza get to participate?" "I dunno... maybe have him freaking absorb every fighter we can't take with us to the tournament? You know like he did in the buu arc? Golden Buu? near infinite stamina? ring any bells?"

It’s crazy how they make characters just for them to be stepping stones for Goku. You went into Uub alot more than what I thought about him. And you’re right, they absolutely shat all over his character when all they had to do was just no longer use him instead they embarrassed him at every chance they could get. I can’t really say I’m surprised tbh because I doubt anyone in china would want a black character anywhere near the levels of Goku.

The fact that they had him asleep in both tournaments but included him in the intro sequence is obvious “Watch-bait” by Toei. You put a fan favorite in the intro and everyone starts watching under the illusion that their favorite character will be in the Arc.

This is great.. one of your better videos. The type that was the why in I Subscribed.. beautiful

I like to think that Buuhan is the strongest in terms of raw power, but Kid Buu is the most unstable and dangerous.

"MAJIN BUU, BIG BAD BUU!!" I love buu and all his forms. The z fighters were desperate from jump and the saga gave us many fan favorite characters and forms like Majin vegeta, ultimate Gohan, gotenks, the Ssj3 form, etc. Also the scene where Supreme Kai realizes that saiyans are absolutely insane "who are you people?!" will never not be hilarious to me.

That background music flooded into my memories bringing back so many good years

This was gold!!! The constant “kid buu is the strongest” made this even better lol

If that had Majin Buu in TOP. Imagine There would have been a villain from every ark from Z helping Goku. Piccolo Vegeta, sayain saga. Frieza. Namek ark. 17, 18. Android saga. Buu, Buu saga

Kid Buu was my absolutely favorite. Removed all vestiges of anything positive, just a murderous psychopath hellbent on destruction, closer to a beast than an intelligent being. His very first act, to uncerimoniously destroying Earth, without caring for Goku's plead to fight. Simply awesome.

U have the clickbaitiest titles ive seen in my life, and I love it lmfaooo

lmao the way you talked about Uub. its so true 😭😭

And btw, thank you for doing what Akira was never able to do up until now. You gave Vegeta the W, and you actually made it better than anyone every could

I had a dream about a year ago where Buu's status as a majin gave his form special properties, for example being immune to destruction powers and even Zeno's erase. I feel like a creature that has existed since "time immemorial" would have a special relationship with the fabric of reality, in that his immunity to matter-neutralizing powers as well as his natural regeneration to counter more conventional powers are what made him so tough rather than direct power. Of course, nothing of this sort was even mentioned in actual canon, but we're talking about DB here, where canon kinda sucks lol

God, the WWF references are so good... "Golddust" got me

Nice video!

even though he had very less screen time in GT but even that meant alot for the story narrative and him fusing with Uub didn't got wasted. Him saving Pan was so crucially important to the story. GT Buu wasn't wasted and disrespected

Majin Buu is a character that feels like he should be in Frieza's role. Someone introduced earlier in the series and foreshadowed as a ultimate antagonist, but Dragon Ball writing always falls short in looking ahead, often doing things at the moment then using retcons like Beerus' history to denounce some things. You can see it in this comment section, the idea of the Kais being mascaraed goes from this bone-chilling event to an act of grand incompetence, and by extension belittles Majin Buu's act. He has so much going for him, even now in Super, but it hurts knowing that until we reach Uub Majin Buu truly is and was always a vessel for the plot that has taking different forms in spite of how interesting he is.

“That battle was geenius” I will forever use this pun when in-traced in DB discussion

You should do a separate video on Ubb,u made me like his character even more after watching your content ♥️

If Buu was handled better, in the Moro Arc, he would have turned Moro into a biscuit and eat it like he did to Dabura. He's magic was superior to Moro, by that point, so, instead of trying to seal his power, just eat turn him into a candy and eat him. There were plenty of occasions, since Moro couldn't make a dent on him and was constantly caught by surprise by Buu's magic and skills.

Could you imagine Buu fighting Dyspo and absorbing him? Using his power and how that could turn the tide thru the Toppo fight? If Jiren fought THAT and won, it would have led to so much more excitement when Goku and friends were able to oppose Jiren.

I appreciate you using the buu's fury music for this lol..

🧠👍🏾💯Great video sir😂

It's nice that your using Goku's forgotten technique, which is telepathy and Goku can move things with his mind it's just forgotten only seen in the Frieza arc

Agreed

Super buu was the best version of buu.I mean his human extinction attack was sick,his slow walk around the lookout was badass.

Did you use Legacy of goku 3 bground music? On start of vid

The problem I have with super is that I don't really like the villains, mostly because half of them are not even villains like Jiren or Hit. It's not bad but I don't find it as entertaining as the Saiyan or Freezer saga. Also, Majin Buu didn't participate in the tournament of power because he would be broken and not just because of its power but just for the abilities he has, let's remember he could have just chocolate ray Jiren and he would have took it head on as with the other techniques launched at him.

I concur.

This is my fav channel on youtube

That Vegeta ending gave me goosebumps ahah

I effing feel you. Uub is one of my favorite characters in all of Dragonball and that ain't happening now apparently. No ssj4 transformation, no uub, Gohan is the most wasted aspect hands down. All so disappointing. Both GT and Super wasted tf out of a lot of the best aspects of Dbz.

Tien should’ve knocked out Jiren from the ring TIEN LITERALLY HAS THE PERFECT ATTACK

I see u using that Legacy of Goku music👀😳

Congrats on 100k bro

They couldn’t add him in the T.O.P because he’s too op, he can turn people into candy, he can absorb people, he can regenerate too.

The only reason I'd say Buuhan is the strongest because of scaling like how did ssj2 - ssj3 get some hits on kid Buu even Vegeta in his base and stuff and ssj1 Goku and Vegeta couldn't do anything to Buuhan but the only reason I'm not bringing in a what if ssj2 and 3 for Buuhan is because Vegito was stronger than that in his base and above, so that's why I think Buuhan is the strongest, but I think what they are trying to say is that Buuhan is the strongest transformed Buu and that kid Buu is the strongest base Buu and plus he's the original buu. At the end of all of this, the anime was just confusing and messed up by bad writing, well atleast it's not as bad as Supers power scaling lol 🤣

19:13 I will NEVER get tired of this moment.

"Can you *imagine* ribrianne getting turned into a chunky Kitkat?" Don't push me to fantasize, please.

Let me explain to you why Kid Buu was justifiably the strongest. We all know about Ki, and Ki control, right? We all know about the limitations of different races as far as power goes right? If you were to merge Kid Buu's 'race' with a less powerful race, boom, his power has been "limited". He draws his power from either the universe or multiverse, but can only channel so much of it at once. The reason that Buuhan was able to demonstrate dimensional power is because he had the intelligence to leverage his vast power in ways that Kid Buu would never conceive of. It's like telling a really strong guy and a really smart guy to lift a ship. The strong guy won't be able to, but Galileo did with pulleys.

I love Buu but ya really can't do much with him unless his opponent can use magic. Imagine to TOP but Buu is there instead of frieza. He walks up to goku and heals him back to full, zenkai boost and all. Hands down would completely eliminate the tension goku already could beat Jiren when he went MUI, it's just that his body gave out before he could finish the job and this was a goku who was already EXHAUSTED. A peak stamina goku would wipe the floor with Jiren and if he's gone the rest of the tournament would be a wash for universe 7. Hell, imagine if Buu absorbed people. You could say that he could get influenced but I'd argue he wouldn't. He absorbed a BUNCH of objectively speaking "pure hearted" people and was still a evil monster. Buu is cool, but he's way too strong against anyone who couldn't just flat out over power and defeat him instantly or could use magic themselves to maybe counter act Buu. The TOP would have to be fundamentally rewritten for Buu to work in my opinion if you wish for the stakes to still be there. Side note, even if we ignore the tweets and just look at the show in a vacuum, Super Buu is objectively stronger. If you said more dangerous I wouldn't disagree with you, but more powerful? Wouldn't make any sense.

Thank you so much for speaking true facts about Majin Buu

Wait, I haven’t seen the boo arc in YEARS but is he actually a genie?! His pants make me think that’s not a joke xD

buu was more useful in gt than super if i were to be honest

With how Tien turned out, buu could easily took his spot. Personally I would have preferred Roshi, and Tien not been involved what so ever.

i like thr pure rage in this videos

I have legit loved majin buu ever since i saw the first episode of him and tapion is cool sword guy

Ki is able to manipulate space-time. Both Hit and even GULDO could outright STOP time itself, yet I think we all agree Guldo isn't a universal character. Power in Dragon Ball is very much a numbers game. Buu ripped open the TIME CHAMBER, which was made by either Kami or Mr. Popo, I don't think it's specified who exactly built the thing. Either way this just means to overcome whatever protections it has, you just need to be stronger than them, which Buu certainly is. Dragon Ball is not explained well enough to apply whatever scaling table you showed. Ki is too nebulous and capable of seemingly anything and nothing. Goku is more than capable of teleporting using his Ki, and much weaker beings, IE the Yardrat aliens that taught this to him, can do it even better. Just the fact Buu could effect space-time doesn't mean he's capable of destroying entire universes. If Buu was that powerful, he'd have destroyed the universe already rather than going from planet to planet and destroying them that way. Buu is a merciless force of destruction, if he had the power to bomb the universe, he'd just do it. The ONLY being actually proven to be capable of destroying a universe wholesale is Zeno, as he has actually done it. Not to mention there's a host of translation errors, so that may very well be happening here. You already fell for several errors when you said Bibidi created Buu(He didn't, he FOUND Buu) and that Babidi was his son, he was actually a magic clone. Besides, since when is Goku and Vegeta an authority on dimensional mechanics? How does he even know what's happening in this scene? How do dimensions work in Dragon Ball? It's never explained. How many tons of TnT does it take to poke holes in a dimension? None of this is defined in Dragon Ball, so we can't calculate his power on this alone. You can destroy a building, but you're not building level. You're support strut level, you can just keep destroying support struts until the house can't stand up any longer. Universal level is reserved for someone who can destroy an entire universe in one single attack. Buu does not qualify if he needs to exploit some nebulous rules and still fails to pull it off. If you flick a switch and turn off the universe, you're not universal, you're just exploiting the rules of the universe to cause it to collapse. Basically, Buu's taking a shortcut because he's NOT strong enough to destroy the universe. One character can destroy universes at will, and characters leagues more powerful than Buu has ever been are terrified of that character.

👍👍 I'm watching them all

My hopes and my reactions when I saw buff majin buy before the dbs tournament had me screaming and then nothing came of it xD It would've blown my mind it already did, I totally felt blue balled by that

Just as a minor thought: Imagine if Fat Buu returned to his original ways during the Tornament of Power, Absorbing other fighters to gain their abilities and progressively become an even bigger menace during the whole saga. It 'is' possible given it takes time for Buu's absorption technique to actually kill anyone as we have seen during the Super Buu encounters of DBZ, Goten, Gohan, Trunks, but even most importantly, Fat Buu were all absorbed by Super Buu to make him progressively stronger, and all survived. So we likely could have seen a temporary resurrection of Super Buu with so many combination potentials and random abilities to make the final fight a true clash of Titans and Ideals between Buu, (Who could likely eat a quarter of the tournament), and Jiren, a fighter who always has, and forever more stood alone.

Majin Buu doesn't suck, the writers suck. Because they refuse to allow characters to have any spotlight or look good.

Buu is the epitome of "the character as the main villan vs when you unlock him as a character"

The buu vs Mr. Satan fight was a great addition to the arc in my opinion. It shows the bond between buu and Mr. Satan even though the buu Mr. Satan knew and bonded with was long gone, buu couldn’t touch him and was driven to agony and had to spit out fat buu thus severing any remaining restraints he had. Not to mention how pivotal Mr. Satan was to defeating kid buu.

“Buuhan is Building-Level, confirmed.” -Saiyan Scholar

Hey android 19 was dope, along with 20. It was just a shame they didn't stay longer.

Really enjoyed this video. Subscribed. I felt like the Kid Buu being strongest part was way too drawn out and repetitive. Strawberry cheesecake was clever, but not clever enough to repeat that many times. Still, enjoyed overall layout and pacing of video

I wonder how many hours this takes to watch with ads I got the premium and love this entire thing but probably wouldn’t make it watching ads.

I have a sorta head canon-y idea on why Kid Buu would be the strongest, that being that maybe after he absorbed the other fighters then lost them he absorbed some of their latent power and potential enough to keep them and him being a "kid" is essentially Buu's lifecycle reset to stage 1. It'd be sorta like a stage 3 pokemon suddenly reverting back to a basic Pokemon but with super buffed stats and potential with maxxed IVs. Like Buu started new game plus. You might even call it a... Buu Game Plus.

i remembered to think about it when he said "think about it"

I was gonna say something about the Video but now I want A GOD DAMN STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE.

Kid Buu was like the definition of black air force and black timberland energy lol

Selling Boo food from chocolate beaming everyone in the tournament would be a good alternative to pallet swap green deep sea saiyan.

Saiyan Scholar spitting Facts Like Always 🔥

I remember coming home as a kid to watch DBZ on cartoon network everyday. I thought as a kid that there was no way they could ever defeat kid buu in the final showdown but whenever he was finally finished off going crazy and jumping up and down screaming lol. Good ole days of growing up in the 90s-00s

Scholar, that What If was FIRE

What game is being played during this video?

Majin Buu was once a horrifying monster, a demon of pure terror, he was a pure chaos incarnate and defied all sense of logic and now he’s just wasted background character

Would have been fun if Goku went to HFIL to recruite Freiza, gets partway through his pitch, then notices Bobbity and immediately ditches Freiza and makes his offer to Bobbity instead asking him to use his spell to wake Buu up for the tournament.

You mentionned Jiren ?! Here I am.

Majin Buu potential even surpasses the Saiyans.
