I saw that response, thank you.
If you saw it, why did you even ask for the source of the claim, when the source was already provided in that post :eh:
This doesn't say that only a Buu can hurt another Buu. This just tells me that Kid Buu can hurt Fat Buu. There is nothing saying, 'only another Buu can decrease the power of another Buu'.

Especially since the example, Kid Buu's power didn't got down when fighting Super Saiyan 3 Goku, is flawed since Super Saiyan 3 and Kid are closer in power, while there is a huge power gap between Kid Buu and Fat Buu.
Only against another Buu has a Buu ever been said to take damage and been shown to get weaker from being pounded on. That's the point. Until something says otherwise, that's how it is.

I asked for a source because I wanted to make sure if there was really a page that said 'Buu can only be hurt by another Buu', and it wasn't just the same quote I saw before.

That is an assumption, not a known fact, especially since we saw Beerus nearly kill Buu.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

The key to Buu's regeneration is his seeming infinite supply of ki, against most people he is effectively immortal unless they use an extremely powerful attack.

But Buu dose have his limits, Vegito pushed Super Buu almost to that limit and Beerus did the same to Majin Buu with little effort on his part.

Buu and be killed by basic attacks if that person is powerful enough, wither Basil is such a person remains to be seen.

Is there any chance the admin team could maybe add "May contain Spoilers" or "Spoilers inbound" or something like that in the thread title? We aren't allowed to spoiler tag in here and I feel the title of this thread could end up misleading some people who might click on this and then see people freely discussing leaked stuff.

Does he really train? First we see him training with Piccolo, and next time we hear from him he has retired from martial arts...
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Given the fact he still needs to transform, something which Ultimate is designed to get rid of, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume he's done jack all training wise. I wouldn't be surprised if the new arc had him get Ultimate back after the preliminary match with U9 is over.
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.

My main point was regarding the leaked stuff, stuff that isn't officially announced as of when it is leaked, for example people are able to get there hands on vjump early snap pics and thus leak stuff before they were meant to be seen. The thread title does not give warning for things like that. Most forums tend to have two separates threads, one heavily discussing leaks/spoilers and what not and one not, we don't have that here so I feel like there should be some warning then.

It doesn't seem like he's back to his Boo Arc self yet, which is what they were teasing. I'm guessing he'll regain his unlocked potential in-between the exhibition and the real tournament.

Gohan getting his ultimate form back is not going to make him that much more useful for team Universe 7 becuase of Goku and Vegeta along with Ultimate nit giving him any new techniques.

Will Toriyama make Ultimate Gohan stronger than any Super Saiyan form or will Toriyama do something stupid and make the Ultimate Form as strong as SS Blue Goku and Vegeta?

Sorry if I said this but if The Exhibition match keeps the same format as in the Champa Tournament, then Buu might lose, because we see Gohan getting ready to fight in the NEP, it wouldnt be a bad idea if Gohan wins in a fluke fashion, which would also be a wake up call for him to get his Mystic form back.

Remember that Gohan only loss in DBS so far was against Frieza and it was due to being distracted.

True, but I want Boo to get a win. Considering he's never won once, even in Z.

I really don't see your point because gohan is already stronger than the other 7 fighters (probably except for buu). If that's your case for gohan, then what makes of the rest of the team?

I was actually speaking specifically of Good Boo, but if we want to just count Majin (Fat) Boo as a whole, then yeah, he did defeat Dabura, Gohan, Supreme Kai, Majin Vegeta, and Gotenks.

Had this discussion with anons on /a/ and it really fucks with some of our minds. (Left) is how Gohan should look at the moment, so why doesn't he? From his eyes to that single streak of hair of his. What was (left) all about if he wasn't going to remain like that from there on out? Is (right) only temporary and we'll get (left) in the upcoming episodes? Excluding the streak of hair since even though I don't understand why that was removed, Gohan isn't seen with it in the promotional posters and OP.

He has half oval eyes for normal stuff and box eyes for when things get serious.

Not all animators have the same drawing style.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
