Gohan actually wanted to kill Boo. However, Gotenks still lived, so Gohan got chumped again.


Vegito was badass though.

Buu was an arc where Goku tried his hardest to prepare his friends to take care of the world on their own, but they're somehow even bigger gently caress ups than he is, so he has to fix it all in the end anyway.

It's annoying that Toriyama clearly had no idea what to do, but he still dragged it out to hell and back, and had characters act as stupid as possible just to keep it rolling.

The whole arc was really funny in retrospect when we found out that Future Trunks resolved the whole thing by just killing Dabura and Babidi ASAP.

That reminds me of a pretty neat side story in Dragon Ball Multiverse where Future Gohan lived to the Buu Arc. Only because the Androids destroyed everything, Babidi's attempt at reviving Buu didn't work, so Gohan just blew him and his boys up and was like "Well, that was weird." and went home.

I grew up with Buu being one of the first villains I've ever seen do some of the poo poo he does and it's always stuck with me, so I have a lot of affection for the Buu Saga more than most do I think. Like among the cool poo poo like Fusion and a lot of Buu's powers there's a lot of emotional heights like Vegeta's sacrifice, Mr. Satan's commanding of the people of earth to give energy, and the entire final monologue Vegeta has about Goku being the best.

Buu's just cool as hell too imo. A lot of the ways he killed people are very visceral and while not bloody, were still pretty hosed up and brutal. His powers were all also very unique and his shifts from form to form are so wild. It's some cool rear end poo poo in my opinion.

I've re-read some of the Buu saga and got to this great bit. Everyone's gone back to the lookout to figure out how to beat Buu. Goku says they could have used Fusion, but the only people he could fuse with were Vegeta and Gohan (who was just knocked out cold at the time). So when Bulma and the others summoned Shenlong and wished to resurrect the good people that died that day, everyone probably thought they could have Goku and Gohan fuse...

...Except Shin loving took Gohan with him to the Sacred World of the Kais so that plan went out of the window.

Even when trying to help, Shin manages to gently caress things up. :lol:

I do wonder how the cast would have reacted to Mr. Satan making friends with Buu. I remember one of the games, Supersonic Warriors 2, having a scenario where Gotenks comes across that exact thing and can't bring himself to hurt Buu. So Goten and Trunks wind up making friends with him instead.

Maybe I should do a Let's Play of that game. It'd be pretty easy to record.

Still remember the what if where Mr Satan befriends Broly that is by and large the same as his story with Buu, but god is that still a funny rear end idea.

Now I'm sad Super Broly didn't do that. Like Cheelai and the other guy can still be there, but just have them shack up with Satan instead of the deserted planet.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I think having Broly and Buu in the same house is a very bad idea.

Y'know, I do wonder if Videl moving out might have left Mr Satan with a bit of empty nest syndrome if he didn't have Buu to manage.

I remember that being a lot more prevalent on Namek, which was because of the animations teams being split up to work on the movies or something. Which also explains why Namek to the Androids arc looks like

Because it does look like boiled rear end a third of the time, it can excel and have flame-broiled rear end animation for a

This should start right as Vegeta tries beam spamming Freeza.

That whole sequence is really drat good- Vegeta starting the beam spam, Freeza dodging it all lazily, Piccolo realizing what's about to happen and grabbing the two runts to get out of the way

It's almost cinematic at points. This has always stood out to me as some of the best animation in Dragon Ball

it has been more or less a consistent rule throughout the entirety of dragonball's life as an anime that for every single awesome-looking episode there will be at least two or three incredibly dopey-looking ones next to it.

I only watched the cell saga and buu during the initial kai run (also the last half of the frieza saga)

Gotta admit I kinda enjoyed buu more just because it felt less dark than cell and toriyama just felt like going full stupid on everything. Yeah I know somehow the arc where everyone loving dies seeming less dark than the one where mainly goku gets blown up is dumb shut up.

Also the buu kai soundtrack is 90's as gently caress and it was cool to hear some of those tracks in super.

They used Piccolos theme in one of the super episodes where they show gohan going 'mystic' again

The only one that is a bit eh is the SSJ3 theme, but that got re-used a bunch of times in Super.

Edit: Also yeah I fukken love the Vegeta Goku fight in buu, even though it gets cut way short.
