This development with Buu makes no sense. Absorbing the pure-hearted Goten and Gohan didn't make him any nicer. Not even having the Grand Kaioshin inside him could sate his desire for slaughter and genocide. But now he becomes a nice guy because, in addition to the above, he absorbed a selfish asshole and a psychopathic mass murderer? What hogwash. I would have expected his personality to slowly change over time. If he had to spare Earth, and allow the revival of the Earthlings, him not wanting to kill Mr. Satan and leaving when he sees him would be a much better explanation.

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

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. 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.

Who says he's a nice guy? He was just influenced enough to see no point in destroying Earth since all the people inside of him liked it. And leaving Earth as it was, with pretty much everyone dead, was almost like destroying the planet.

Buu is now "infinitely" more complex than he was as Super Buu, which was little better than Pure Buu in terms of destructive and chaotic choices. He now actually pauses to think about stuff and finds way more interest in something interesting than just random destruction, especially of stuff that the people inside of him liked.

Seems at odds with how he was portrayed in the last page.

I think the point is that Dende is misinterpreting his behavior. He's not "good" anymore than not killing Satan made him good. He just has an attachment to the Earth now. Or at least I hope that's what the writer is doing because it works a lot better.

If we go on the fact that the main aspect of Goku's purity is that he's only focused on training and fighting, then Goku hasn't really made Buu good, so much as made him even more so want to train (and absorb) and get stronger and stronger. Compare to Pure Buu who would only want to destroy absolutely everything ever and wouldn't care about training.

It's like I said in my last post. He isn't nice. He just didn't see any point in destroying Earth, he felt it was more interesting to keep it around since he feels the attachment to Earth due to the guys he absorbed.

Can't believe i forgot new page was posted today :mrgreen: I wonder why he didn't absorb Kibitokai? Maybe absorbing Kaioshin does somehow completely change his personalty, to the point he isn't himself anymore? Or maybe He is so weak, he is not worth absorption? I expect lots of crying on one of next pages.

He can absorb people by turning them into food and eating them. He did it to Good Buu.

Buu was likely made to absorb kais and absorbing Kaioshin could have changed him completely. I can see why he choose to eat him then absorbing him.

Probably a good thing Kaioshin was knocked out, or he would be horrified at finding himself being chewed to pieces. XD

I suppose there are plenty of ways to spare the earth and not be good. Like a dictator having a pet.

If Buu plans on going off training then it can explain why he is so strong now.

Hmm...you know, here's an interesting thought I've had. What if Goku, Vegeta, Goten, and the others actually DO end up getting revived? I mean, we found out in South Kai vs. Fat Buu that when someone is absorbed by Buu, they eventually just get absorbed entirely, with nothing left of them remaining. So, if that's the case, wouldn't that count as them being dead? Because their souls are a separate thing from their body, and if their bodies "die" (presumably by being broken down and reintegrated into Buu's essence, the same way our bodies are broken down by the soil and bacteria and stuff when we're buried), that should mean they can be revived, shouldn't it?

No, they become one with Buu. Including their souls. It's like fusion. When Vegetto appeared, Vegeta and Goku didn't die. They were combined, including their souls. Buu's absorption is the same way, only the merging doesn't produce a result as powerful as fusion does.

That said, the time it takes for somebody to become fully absorbed by Buu could be somewhere between 2 days and 5 million years. So it's fully possible 'zen' Buu could go through some shit that gets all those characters freed. I'm not sure if I want that or not, though. I want the heroes to have lived, but I like 'zen' Buu quite a bit.

Well... that happened. I mean wasn't Boo already quite intelligent at this stage? What would he need to absorb Bulma for?
