Could Buu have absorbed Vegetto?

[iop890]

If Vegetto hadn't put up his barrier, and had instead been caught off guard somehow and gone directly into a pod, do you think the absorption would have been successful?

Or do you think he still would have been split and Buu would effectively just end up absorbing Goku and Vegeta separately?

Obviously there's no definite answer but I'd like to hear your opinions.

I believe it'd have been succesfull and the only reason they split is due to not being in the pod. I too believe the same would have happened, if they had used fusion, DB heroes be damned!

When they removed the barrier, the fusion immediately ended. That tells me that the Potara is just not compatible with Boo in any way, so Vegito would've never been absorbed. It would've just been Goku and Vegeta absorbed instead.

DB heroes be damned!

What did Heroes have to say about it?

DB Heroes had an animated clip, where Goku and Vegeta fuse inside Super Buu to become Gogeta:

I was always under the impression that normal fusion wouldn't have been an issue inside of Boo. Goku said fusion would've been possible since Gotenks was fused inside of Boo. From what we see, Vegito was the one that couldn't be merged inside of Boo.

Well maybe Vegetto's power overrides Buu's absorption since he is that strong in comparison to Buu?

That's something interesting to look into. Goku did say "Fusion (capital F, with the English pronunciation, AKA the Metamors' technique) can work in here," but did he mean fusion in general under the right circumstances (like being absorbed correctly and ending up in a pod) could work, or was he specifically, and only, talking about Fusion? I'll pop over to the Translation Request thread and see if someone can provide some insight.

Thanks for checking.

I always assumed he was just referring to normal fusion mainly because he was speaking about Gotenks, but also because he told Vegeta that that was their only other chance to win after complaining about his disposal of the potara. When Super Boo appears inside of himself, Goku said he wouldn't have been an issue if they could "just go outside" and merge via the potara. So even though the potara was gone at that point, Goku seemed to have it in mind that going outside was their only chance to merge successfully in that situation.

I doubt he'd be referring to fusion in general being able to work in there, because he has no frame of reference for whether the Potara fusion could be held together if Buu had absorbed them successfully. The only thing he knows for certain regarding fusion working in there is that the Fusion Dance normally would because Gotenks had been successfully.

Yes, according to Dragon Ball Heroes. Pure Boo could successfully absorb Kibitoshin.

[Hellspawn28]

I think it would have been possible. I'm surprise that Budokai 2 or Heroes never done it (We got Vegeta Buu instead in Budokai 2).

good point

I don't put much stock in stuff from Heroes.

It's entire purpose seems to be to continuously pump out as many fanfic-tier forms as possible.

That may be true but at this point, Buu's absorption of Vegeto is nothing more than a fan-fic tier form.

I don't see why he wouldn't have been able to absorb him.
In fact, a really fanfic-y question comes to mind as I'm typing this; Could Buu have absorbed Vegeto, then, while inside his own body, taken one of Vegeto's potara rings and put it on say Gohan (and then potentially everyone else he had absorbed). Fusing the two together while already in their pods thus gaining another power boost.

[MajinBrolyYamcha]

No Buu wouldn't have absorbed Vegito. Because the kai magic doesn't work inside boo.

[Gorou]

Even the ki of the Kaioshin was incompatible with Bu, and for this reason Dabra excludes the energy of the two gods, focusing on the three Saiyans.
