Definitely GT. While he didn't do much fighting, his character was way more in-line with how he was after befriending Mr. Satan thus more likable and component.
Mr. Boo in Super is either lazy, stupid, or an asshole minus the brief moment where he became skinny.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I'm mixed, yeah we got to see him have a kick ass fight against Basil, I feel over all GT surprisingly handled the character better. Sure he didn't show up much but I felt more of a presence from him. He saved Hercule and Pan from Baby, worried and fused with Uub to saved him, and told Uub not to beat Satan because the world would like it's greatest champion. Compared to Super where he slept through two tournaments and Freeza's return.

I'm not so sure that was Toriyama. The Super manga didn't have Boo considered as an entrant for the Tournament Of Power. I think that was just Toei.King13s wrote:Buu in super is Toriyama being a dick to the fanbase. Raised expectations, just to fuck you over with a shitty gag.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Fair, and so far that is the barometer for what was Toriyama's idea.Robo4900 wrote:I'm not so sure that was Toriyama.

So in both cases is Toei's handling of the character. That's unfortunate that they did so well in what most people consider the worse show

I've always thought people are generally too hard on GT, and too soft on Super, so Toei doing a better job in GT, and people hating on it anyway while praising Super is not news to me.King13s wrote:Fair, and so far that is the barometer for what was Toriyama's idea.

I mean, here's the thing; no one knows what to do with Boo after the Boo arc, it seems. So while GT solved that problem by doing cool stuff with him and Oob, Super's just kind of having him around, and not using him for anything of any note.
