Gohan Buu is the strongest Buu of all. While Kid Buu's ranking is debatable (when compared to Old Buu and Fat Buu, for instance), he's definitely one of the weakest when taking Super and those who followed into account. You are in no way a douche for thinking that.

In all honesty, I really stand behind Frieza being the greatest DBZ villain. His holocaust resume' is extensive and he certainly doesn't mind blowing you to pieces if you interfere. I also liked the idea of him being a "galactic overlord", this motif draws some very interesting parallels to how society and capital work (on a DBZ scale; DBZ economics). Watching Goku confront the being responsible for this was just EPIC. The cyborgs were a reminder to not become complacent, Cell was DBZ appreciation field day, and Buu was funny. I do not consider Buu to be a great villain, but I sort of enjoyed the arc...but definitely not in the way of the previous seasons.

3) He regenerates (like the villain in the saga before him)
4) He copies people's moves (like the villain in the saga before him. What happened to originality?)


I do feel sometimes when i'm watching certain Dragon Ball Z eps my mind skips to other moments in the show that sorta give the same vibe especially to do with the Villains.... So I'm with ya on the repeating feeling.

No. Majin Buu is far from being the worst villain.

Toriyama changed the main villains' forms for a reason.

All of the main villains in DBZ have different forms. Frieza had four different forms, and a stronger version of his final form. Cell had three different forms, and a stronger version of his final form. Not counting Uub or Buff Buu, Majin Buu had seven different forms. If you count Vegeta, he would still have that thing with transformations, since he transforms into an oozaru.

Piccolo had more than one form too, if you count Piccolo Jr.

My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

Buu just completely annihilates everything before him imho.
Didn't The Saiyans completely dwarf Piccolo Daimao? Didn't Freeza completely dwarf the Saiyans? Didn't Cell completely dwarf Freeza and everything that came before him too? Why is this only a problem with Buu when every succeeding villain completely dwarfs all the ones that came before?

I don't mean in terms of power... Buu was just ridiculously overpowered in many ways: regeneration, magick etc etc. The presence of Buu in the series juts out like a goiter, seriously. It was entertaining, but for me... The Cell saga was where the series really wrapped up, and did so very well.

My thoughts states that if you count Freeza, Cell, Buu, Bebi, Super 17, and so on, Buu and Vegeta are in the good side. Such as like when Jinzoningen #16-#18 joined the good becuase of Cell is trying to find #17 and #18.

On the other note, Buu turned good after he was expelled from Kid Buu's body, making Kid Buu 100% evil. That's my thoughts of Kames.
