Would killing Majin Buu w/ ppl absorbed forever kill them?

Post by Legendary Saiya-Jin » Fri Jan 25, 2013 9:49 am

Like with the Kai's he absorbed; I imagine if Ma Jinn Buu was destroyed entirely, the original essence of his absorbed victims would be forever scattered inside his being. I think it's probably why Vegetto risked himself getting absorbed instead of finishing Buu off for good and depending on the Dragonballs to wish them back.

Probably not. Destroying their bodies wouldn't destroy their souls.

Well killing your sons would be real messed up. That's the only reason I think Toriyama didn't have Vegetto kill Boohan.

Vegetto would've had to defuse in some way. There's no way the fans would have accepted "oh well, my two favourite characters have merged, and that's that."

On topic; I don't personally think that, because like TheMightyOzaru says, I don't think it would destroy their soul.

I guess if Vegito killed off Super Buu 3 then I would imagine that Piccolo, Gohan, Goten and Trunks would have died separately.

Forgot about that.

I think, originally, the Kaioshin were absorbed over a few hundred years, they didn't instantly become part of Buu in 45 minutes.
To me, I think those Kaioshin are lost forever.
I doubt the same would happen to the kids in such a short period of time.

Vegetto would have to kill his three kids. Even though they could be wished back, he would still have to kill his sons. Would you break your son's leg, even though he would eventually heal? I wouldn't. As a father, he couldn't kill his three sons, or even his friend Piccolo.

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.

Potara & Boo don't work the same way. Potara merges two beings into one. Boo absorbs one or more beings, and steals their power, memories, and personality. Goku & Vegeta became Vegetto, but Boo & Gohan became Boo, not Boohan.

Cell's & Boo's absorption seem to work similarly. They both absorb beings and transform more powerful from that, but the victims can still be removed.

Cell's & Boo's absorption ability seems to work like inserting a battery on a mobile phone (the battery can be removed), while Potara works like mixing Coca Cola & water (the water can't be removed).

I believe their souls are also merged somehow, and in the same way Vegetto soul would go to the afterlife (not Goku and Vegeta separately), it would happen to have the souls of Majin Boo and all of their friends as one. Could Shenlong solve this problem?

Of course, it didn't happened to Cell. If anyone can explain how he regenerated so many times, and still didn't just had No.18 inside of him, but also her clothes. :roll:
I believe you're onto something, once you use the potara fusion, the souls are fused as well. It would explain why elder kai and his witch fusee didn't separate when he gave up his life.
