I prefer the Japanese voice. While some might prefer the Funimation voice for sounding more childish, Fat Buu is supposed to be a man child, not an actual child, and that distinction comes across better in Japanese.

And yes, Buu's portrayal really sucks so far in Dragon Ball Super. I really want to see the heartwarming friendship he's supposed to share with Mr. Satan, not him constantly stuffing his face.

I don't mind Fat Buu in Super and BOG. Fat Buu has a brain of a two year old, so him being selfish over food is not surprising. People make a big deal out of it as if it's something new to his character.

Your posts in this thread have been rather brief and absolute. Why not expand your thoughts and give examples of what you find so irredeemable? Others have done so, and you just asked someone for "citation" yourself.

All he talks about is food. He's also a terrible friend to Mr. Satan.

He nearly ruined his rep just cuz he was hungry (and the child mentality is not an excuse... he was just an ass there) and he sent him flying with his finger when Satan tried to stop his fight over "some stupid shit".

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Zen Buu obviously.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

It's Fat Buu. The guy has a brain of a two year old and mainly wants to eat food. Are you really surprise?
