Why didn't the Kaioshins use the Mafooba on Majin Boo?

[dbboxkaifan]

Given how problematic Majin Boo was why didn't they make use of Mutaito's Mafooba technique to seal Majin Boo once and for all?

Piccolo (Ma Junior) was able to reflect it back at Kami with no effort. I highly doubt it would have had any effect on Majin Buu, whatsoever. He probably would have just shrugged it off or blown it back.

Because he'd easily counter it, like Piccolo did. Also, rice cooker vs Boo. Also, legendary Z Sword vs katchin.

You're right. Some opponents just wouldn't give up so easily.

How would he know what Mafuuba is?

The thing is Piccolo knew what the Mafooba was so he obviously learnt to reflect it so it couldn't be used against him, Boo on the other hand has no idea what the Mafooba is and likely wouldn't have a way to reflect it.

I don't even think he would need to know what it is. I just don't believe that the attack would be powerful enough to affect him. It would probably be like in the Buu vs. Buu fight where the gray Buu just blew the "candy beam" attack right back with a breath. Even if the attack did manage to land and Buu was sealed inside a rice cooker or whatever other container, it probably wouldn't be able to contain him for long. He can break through dimensions with his power, a rice cooker isn't going to last.

Wasn't that only Super Boo or whatever his name was who could do that? I always assumed Fat Boo couldn't do that but I could be wrong.

Still the Mafooba is a pretty shitty move even in Dragon Ball, you only get one shot and you're dead or near death and it's easy to fuck up, I mean the 3 times we saw it used it failed, plus the fact sealing isn't very useful if they're in cohorts since someone else could just walk up and....open it

It was the gray Buu who did it in that particular case, but if we're talking about the Kaioshins, they were no match for Majin Buu in any of his forms so I don't think it would have taken any effort to brush off their Mafuba if they had tried it.

I was talking about ripping through dimensions, but yeah you're right I don't see the Mafooba itself actually being able to hit Boo.

Oh, gotcha. You are correct.

[mAcChaos]

Don't forget that Vegito retained his powers when he got turned into candy.

Even if Buu was sealed away he might be so strong that he could just break out.

[some_weirdGuy]

Well why didn't Goku use Akkuman's devil beam? Would have helped quite a lot against many of the villians he faced
((both questions really have the same answers))

[Blade]

I think even if the Kaioshins knew of the Mafuba, none of them (save for Southern Kaioshin perhaps) would have been powerful enough to seal Buu away.

We see with Buutenks when he uses Special Beam Cannon that weaker attacks can become more powerful relative to the strength of the user, so it stands to reason that if someone like Gohan in his Ultimate state were to use the move against someone like Super Buu, it probably would have worked.

Well, against Cell and Buu, they would have just reformed. All it would accomplish is blowing them up.
