For me the " need " to absorb South Kaioshin is immediately thrown out the window when Buff Buu " needs " to Dai Kaioshin.

Clearly Dai Kaioshin can not do anything to Buff Buu, a being superior to Super Buu and Super Gotenks. So if Buu can absorb when he is clearly multi folds above someone, then South Kaioshin being strong or weak in comparison to Kid Buu is irrelevant.

Does Kid Buu ever use magic? I do not recall so, if he did.

If he did not then it could be that the magic used by the previous Buu forms came from Dai Kaioshin... and said powerful magic was the reason he was absorbed. We've seen what the weakest Kaioshin could do with his magic (holding back a certain SSJ2). Is it not feasible that Dai Kaioshin could inflict damage, or at least be decently annoying a being many times stronger than himself?

[Mjb1985]

I don't think East Kaioshin uses magic. His abilities seem consist with a being who is primarily a psychic entity. And I have a hard time seeing why East would describe South as the strongest, if Dai Kaioshin had abilities that blew him out of the water.

So no, Dai Kaioshin being a threat to Buff Buu seems like an absurd thought to me.

He tries to use the Chocolate Beam against Goku. Or at least something that looks just like it.

Is that in the manga, or anime exclusive?

He clearly possesses the ability to use magic though, as displayed when he summons the cube of Katchin.

Buu and Babidi.

Buu is clearly the stronger of the two but Babidi is a definite threat to him. It could be the exact same situation here. South-K could be ridiculously stronger but Dai-K could possess ridiculous abilities. This would lead East-K to describe South-K as the stronger of the two, as he would describe Buu as being the stronger of he and Babidi.

It's in the manga. It's right after Goku bites Buu.

[RandomGuy96]

Isn't Pure Buu not listed as a user of the Chocolate Beam in the Daizenshuu? That might point to it being a generic antenna beam.

[Kamiccolo9]

The beam didn't actually hit, so we can't be sure. Still, considering that it's Buu, who has never been seen using a generic antenna beam, what the attack looks like, and Goku's panicked expression when dodging it, I think it's safe to say that this is the chocolate beam. It's not like the Daizenshuu is perfect, after all.

[Mjb1985]

I think it can turn you into whatever he wants it to. I don't think chocolate is the only option.

[RandomGuy96]

We know that he can, since Fat Buu fired a single beam that turned millions of people into clay, and he turned Dabura into a cookie. In the anime, Super Buu also turned a rock into a toilet.

[Mjb1985]

Oh yea and candy, Chi Chi was an egg. Yea so there's no such thing as a generic beam or chocolate beam. It's at Buu's discretion.

I've always just called it chocolate beam out of convenience. That's what the games call it.

[Saiga]

Yeah, I've always thought that it was something the Daizenshuu missed. It's only one small panel, or they may have excluded it because it can't be confirmed if it is the chocolate beam since it's effects weren't seen.

Given the sheer utility of it I'd say "shapeshift beam" or something similar would be a better name for it, however.

[RandomGuy96]

I may start calling it the Transmutation Beam, 'cause it sounds cooler. By far my favorite ability in the series, except maybe Buu's absorption. I really think that they should've been hybridized and interchangeable, like when Evil Buu absorbed Good Buu. The only problem is that it's incredibly broken, and every fight where Buu doesn't one-shot his opponent looks like PIS.

...as an aside, does anyone HATE it when a fighter who can one-shot their opponent uses their special ability once, has it dodged/blocked/countered, and just decides to never do it again? It happens with Piccolo, Dabura, Good Buu, Kid Buu...

Anyway, what I was saying is it's not impossible for that ability to have come from Grand Kaioshin. We never saw Kid Buu's beam connect, so it could've just been a generic non-reality warping antenna beam, like the ones Piccolo used.

[Saiga]

We saw how easily Pure Evil Boo countered it, though. He blew it back with his breath. And Goku dodged it at close range. I would say that while the effect is powerful, the technique is unreliable.

[RandomGuy96]

All I'm saying is that Piccolo/Dabura/Buu would have been much more effective if he had just machine gunned his two handed SBC/Stone Spit/Transmutation Beam in his fight with Nappa/Gohan/Goku.

Even if Goku dodged it at close range, how many times can he really dodge it if Buu just keeps spamming it in melee range? It's a one hit kill if it connects.

[Saiga]

Lots, because your opponent is being mega predictable once they start doing the same shit over and over again.

Maybe it's one of those unspammables. I mean Piccolo sure didn't seem like he could spam his SBC...

Far too lazy to scour for old PL lists, but was it you who used to have UG at 300 billion and Super Buu at 180 bill or was that RandomGuy?
