So Tienshinhan stayed on the ground, unconscious while Buu destroyed the Earth? And Dende didn't even healed him or anything?

I found this on the Kid Buu section on the wiki
Statistically, in terms of kill count, Kid Buu has the highest body count in the Dragon Ball universe, being able to destroy several planets worth of people. In total, Kid Buu generates an excessively high body count in the billions, maintaining all sources of literature, film, and television series.
It seems like the person who edited this has seen or read that many fictions. I can name a few characters that killed more then Buu did.

In terms of what happened during the actual time span of the series, wouldn't future #17 and #18 be the biggest killers?

Do you mean, in the time space from Dragon Ball beginning to Dragon Ball ending? Hmm.. Well, they didn't quite wipe out everyone on Earth. Buu did, minus a handful of good guys. If we take into account those Buu killed thousands (or is it millions?) of years ago, then his personal kill count must be pretty high.

I'm not sure what that quote from the Wikia is getting at. Do they think Buu has the highest kill count of any fictional character in any fiction? It doesn't seem to be written clearly.

Not counting Arlia? :P ^_^

Ur, and Buu did wipe out the entire human race, save a Mr. Satan (and *speculates on T'en and Chaozu* :P )

Since he also blew up the planet in the end, they would have to be really good at dodging to have survived.

It not written clearly, he might have the biggest body count in the series not in fiction. Anti Monitor in Crisis on Infinite Earths was destroying millions of universes with not that much effort, seeing how universe is filled with lots of galaxies. And that one Galaxy contains lots of star system, and one Star system contains lots of stars and planets.

Well, the wikia was talking about kid Boo specifically, so I was thinking of individual forms rather than just "Majin Boo" as a whole. Fat Boo wiped out a most of the population, and super Boo did the rest, but I think Trunks mentioned there were only about 10'000 people left in his world. And I think fat Boo left more than that.

As a whole, yeah, Boo has the highest personal body count that we see within the series, and probably taking the general universe into account too. Freeza might possibly have more deaths attributed to him, with his business of wiping planets clean of their inhabitants. I can't remember how wide spread Boo's destruction was said to be in the manga.

I found this on the Black Star dragon balls page.
Flight, the ability to fly with the use of ki.
Omnipotence
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Star_Shenron

The power of Omnipotence? Lol I would LOVE to see someone back that up :lol:.

Ah, good point.

Enough for the Kaioshin to care, at least. More specifically, Kaioshin says, "In just a few years, hundreds of planets were wiped out."
Omnipotence
Haha, that's kind of extreme. I wonder if they just mean his power is unlimited, in that it doesn't run out? If so, 16, 17 and 18 are omnipotent as well. :roll:

That entire quote is pure fan fiction.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I think the Black Star dragon ball part made me laugh since their is no proof that he can do that. I love how fanboys can edit stuff on there and get away with it.

Flight and Omnipotence? What about the power to grant wishes with devastating effect, that should be on that special powers list...

I dont know about ALL of fiction writing but for Db through GT; Kid Buu by far takes the cake. He killed countless in 'the past' and th destroyed the Earth and well as MANY other planets while looking for Vegeta and Goku.

The only other villian that would come close to it is Frieza, but we never SEE him destroy a planet other than Vegeta and Namek.

Buu destroying other planets after Earth is filler. In the manga, he came straight to the Kaioshin realm.

I think it's implied that Kid Buu was the one to destroy hundreds of planets in the past, before absorbing Dai Kaioshin and becoming Fat Buu, but there's no way of telling really.

He probably destroyed planets both before and after. The Kaioshin probably wouldn't have stepped in if Boo hadn't been causing some trouble already, and I think East Kaioshin said that he had to wait awhile before Bibidi left himself vurnable enough to be killed.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

That's right. He said that the time came when Bibidi brought the Buu ball to Earth (their next target), and he killed him before he could release Buu.

I think I'll change the name of the topic to "DB Wikia Shenanigans"...
  • =Dr. Weelo:
    - Wheelo is the only movie villain not to have some form of a power-up/power-up transformation (Eg: Super Saiyan Broly, Janemba, The Fruit of the Tree of Might)

    =Dr. Gero:
    - An interesting point is that Dr. Gero transferred his own brain into an energy-absorbing model Android, rather than an infinite-powered one, like 17 and 18, which would allow him far greater power reserves that surpass untrained Super Saiyans. This would make Dr. Gero weaker than 17 and 18. Why he chose to be an energy-absorber rather than an infinite-power Android is unknown (though 18 hints that it may have been because he thought that an energy-absorbing model android was easier to use as a host).

    =Janemba:
    - Interestingly, Janemba's name sounds almost exactly the same as the french phrase "Je n'aime pas" which means "I don't like." This resemblence may have to do with Janemba's odd weakness.

    =Bulma:
    - Bulma goes through 17 different hairstyles during the Dragon Ball series.
    - Bulma at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series looked older than the version seen in The History of Trunks. This is odd, because technically the alternate version of Bulma seen in the Trunks special is actually three years older than the mainstream timeline Bulma. However, this could be due to the fact that in the main timeline, Bulma has another child, Bulla, which is most likely why she appears older.

    =Colonel Silver:
    - Colonel Silver looks like Rubeus from the Sailor Moon Black Moon Arc.
    -Banjo Ginga, Colonel Silver's seiyuu, also voiced Liquid Snake, an antagonist in the Metal Gear Solid series.

    =Colonel Violet:
    - Her appearance in the Red Ribbon Army is contrary to what General Blue says earlier in the series, that women are essentially not needed in the Red Ribbon Army. However, her appearance in the manga is extremely limited to one panel, so it is possible that she is a hired mercenary to that extent.

    =General Blue:
    - In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, when General Blue uses his ultimate attack, Rocket Engine Spark (which is getting into a rocket ship and igniting the engines to burn the enemy), against Frieza's third form (preferably as a finishing move), it resembles the death scene of the alien in the Alien film.

    =Taopaipai:
    - It says "KILL YOU!" on his back. This is edited in some dubbed versions of the show.
    - Mercenary Tao bears an uncanny resemblance to Korean Taekwondo master/actor Hwang Jang Lee and is loosely based on Hwang's characters from "Snake in Eagle's Shadow" and "Drunken Master" in appearance, personality and job.

    =Namu:
    - Though darker-skinned in the anime and manga, Nam appears as a light-skinned man in the US release of Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure for unknown reasons. However, he reappears as a dark-skinned man in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

    =Staff Officer Black:
    - He's one of the few Africans to appear in the series. Although other blacks have appeared throughout the series, he's the first to have a significant role, the second being Killa. Mr. Popo doesn't count, as he is not African, he is a different species.
