Did Majin Boo Originally Wear Clothing?

Post by theherodjl » Thu Feb 02, 2017 2:10 pm

Kid Boo wore white pants, black gauntlets, and boots millions of years ago but is there anything that states he's always worn them?
Super Boo upon absorption materialized a loosely similar outfit to Dai-Kaioshin, vest of Gotenks, Gi-vest and shirt of Gohan, and was forcibly made to fit into Piccolo's outfit once Goku & Vegeta began removing absorbees. Just prior to this though Boohan was able to remove the Gohan outfit and not regenerate it back, so does this mean that Boo simply chooses to clothe himself and that originally he was naked all the way back in time immemorial?

It's a possibility.
GT wasn't that bad

He must feel awful. Being a God and no one respects him. Just sad.
And Zamasu thought he had it bad. Fuckin' edgy Kaios thinking about "Justice" and shit just because they got strong by chance.

I would assume Pure Buu is... well, pure, and has always looked like that.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

If recent interview material is to be believed, Boo has existed since the beginning of time, and also apparently invented the concept of pants in Universe 7.

I don't see why not. Piccolo could make his demons be born with clothes on, so maybe Buu could too, even if we go by retcon.

Now that I think about it. Doesn't that mean every sapient being in creation was modeled after Buu? At least the bipedal human-sized ones with one pair each of arms, legs, eyes, and ears.

Well maybe it was something Bibidi made him do. You know, because having your pink, killing machine walk around starkers is just as unsettling for you as it is for everyone else.

He probably didn't when he was born but I'm sure if Majins ever were a canon race then they wore clothes. He would have worn clothes pretty soon after birth.
