I refuse to believe this. There's no fish jumping, so it can't be over. It just can't.

:P

Jokes aside, I still don't think it was drug out nearly as badly as previous specials where we saw people butchered over and over and over were.

The fight with Boo is over. There'll be more stuff later for sure (I remember somebody posting in this thread a comparison between a page from the old U16 special and this one... I think it was Bra's birth - which is now non-canon considering what we see in Battle of Gods :P )

Oh no, I'm sure it's actually over (though I would laugh my ass off if he did come back somehow, just because of the reactions) - I just couldn't resist referencing the whole 'Is it over?/Not until the fish jumps./*fishjumps*/It's over.' exchange. :P

You saw it too right? I was laughing while everyone was saying "It's over". I mean it's pretty cleare Boo is still alive. Most likely going to blind side Vegetto or blow up Earth.

What makes you think Vegetto's attack stopped just short of pulverizing that last bit? All we see are still panels or images of the attack. They could have indeed added a fourth panel showing nothing left of Buu, but I think that the sequence of panels illustrates well enough that Buu was completely destroyed.

The whole fight only lasted 4 pages. And that is "dragging on"? Please.

According to the novelization, Buu indeed died here.

It should've lasted one panel. Or rather zero panels, as this pointless special shouldn't have been made. It's not Future Gohan or Bojack bad, but still.

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.

That would be too anticlimatic and boring.

And what if we got this in place of the other Universe 16 from 2010? That'd be cool

This already was anticlimatic and boring. At least the alternative would be shorter.

You are bored by it, but that doesn't make the special itself anticlimatic. I think you're just upset that we're getting a special on this Universe instead of the others

How is it "climactic" when the hero is has the overwhelming advantage at every point in the story? This was about as climactic as a typical Power Rangers vs. Putties fight :yawn: .

It's only antilclimatic when you picture it as what would have happened in the manga. But as an alternate universe special, it's not anticlimatic. Too early to decide right now too

I'm not saying the special is pointless. After all, if it delves into the whole "Bulma or Chi-Chi" thing (which I thought was fairly well done) and all the other issues Vegetto had and the birth of Bra and all of that, I think that would all make for a very interesting read...

I'm just saying, RandomGuy is right in saying that the fight wasn't exactly the stuff of legends (and IMO, WAS needlessly dragged out). You can't use "alternate universe" logic when you already know that this Vegetto is alive and well in the main story.

But we already know Vegito won.

Although it would have been cool if he killed Gohan Buu instead and had to deal with how to fix everything up again.

Was there a point to this special? No. Was the end battle Anticlimactic? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes.

Whenever Goku and Vegeta fuse the battles will almost always be Anti-Climatic because of how freaking powerful Goku and Vegeta fusions are.

According to the novel, that IS the very last of Buu we ever see. The next stuff that happens is pretty much reviving everyone and Vegetto struggling to choose which wife to be with.

That is IF the comic is actually based off the novel.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

It also would have made a lot more sense. Kid Boo lasting is like the "I'm still not dead joke" where they just drag out the joke for a long period of time and instead of being funny, they piss you off for wasting time.
