The power of Mr.Satan

[LeprikanGT]

Also I don't know how the #$%^&* Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, and Gohan magicly got SO far away from Goku and Vegeta if they all came out of Buu at the same spot....but thats a whole different plot hole.

Goku and Vegeta carried them away and hid them there so they wouldn't be in the way during the fight with Buu.

Talk about foreshadowing. Good thing they picked up Dende, Bee, and Mr. Satan instead....you know, in the long run.

Now that you guys mention luck, remember that Tenshinhan won the 22nd budokai because of it. Both Goku and Kamesennin agreed that luck is a very important skill, as well. Tack that on to the fact that Satan is the record-holder for Punch Machine scores (outside the Z-crew) and he's certainly a powerful foe. Plus Satan is very gag-manga. Trunks' punch should have killed him, but didn't simply because it would be funny if it didn't. Just picture it:

Satan: "UUUGH!!!! My stomach! You wouldn't fight me in this condition, would you? Oh, if only I hadn't eaten that poisonous fish for lunch!"

Nam: "Of course I would'nt take advantage of your misfortune! I shall humbly accept your withdrawal. If you like, we can even have a friendly match when you're feeling bet-"

Satan: "Special Attack Number 6! Satan-Trachia-Sucker-Punch Technique!"

Nam: "Ack!! My trachia!"

Satan: "Combo Special! Satan-Grab-You-By-The-Turban-And-Throw-You-Of-Bounds Attaaaaack!"

Here we go, I don't think anyone mentioned it yet but Mercenary Tao. Wasn't a Z-fighter or alien or any of that, although his strength WAS exaggerated...I think he is a human who could have fought and defeated Mr. Satan with a little bit of a fight [if he kept his hand on].

Just wanted to toss that out there because it popped in my head [although filler] when Mercenary tao was paid to be the body guar for the guy building the compound to save 'the village' from Cell [the nine days before the Cell games] An older man wanted to go up agianst Tao since 'he knew' Gohan would win. That shows, kind of, that Tao was still on a somewhere human level.

No offense but comparing Mr. Satan with Tao is like comparing Krillin with Majin Buu. There is no way that Mr. Satan could have put a fight against Tao. Did you see what Tao did to Bora? He would just that to Mr. Satan, unless do you believe Mr. Satan is stronger than Bora which can tank bullets by sheer strength.

Filler.

Well it was filler so it doesn't have any ground to stand on. If another human fighter was going to go up against tao, I could see Mr. Satan doing the same; not that he would win, but it would last longer than if tao took his hand off to use that blade or the Super Dodon. Mr. Satan may not be able to take bullets, but he took a punch from trunks, Cell....flung into a mountain, and Majin & Kid Buu. The guy can take some damage.

[Senzu_Bean]

Those are gag scenes. They aren't mean to take seriously. Just like Vegetto owning Majin Buu as a candy.

[LeprikanGT]

I'd count that as a non-gag scene. That was all the vegito candy could do, and he ripped a hole in Buu's head and cut off part of his antenna...which in hind sight was a horrific idea.

That is Mr. Satan's power... GAG!

[LeprikanGT]

He has an amazing way of stalling the hell out of the bad guy and the ability to be around like every major battle [post Cell games] and live to tell about it.

[Kaboom]

Tao Pai Pai is not on the same "normal human" level we're talking about with Mr. Satan and all. He's a quasi-immortal sennin like Roshi and Crane, and as such he's "beyond human limits." Barring entry of anyone like Goku, Ten, or Roshi, he would have swept the 21st and 22nd Budokai like it weren't no thang. But even that aside, he killed an also-powerful guy like General Blue with just his tongue, for Dende's sake!

[Piccolo Daimao]

Not really. Vegetto's plan all along was to provoke Boo into absorbing him so he could rescue the others.

[LeprikanGT]

You should NEVER rip off random parts of Buu's body....just look at what happened to Gohan.

Did you read my post?

When you're trying to get absorbed, ripping off random parts of Boo's body is a brilliant idea.

How are they not to be taken of note, though? Dragonball is a gag-manga. Just because from Radditz to Satan's appearance was heavy on the sci-fi doesn't mean it's not. It just means Satan has better command over his gag-manga types of skill, such as charisma, luck and douchbag levels of ingenuity.

[Ussj Future Trunks]

Mr Satan's power is maximum.

[LeprikanGT]

Mr Satan for the win. You can be the strongest person in the universe but if you have the power to 'rally your troops', you lose the war.
