Majin Buu

Majin Buu (魔人ブウ), later on known as Mr. Buu (ミスター・ブウ) is the first form of Buu seen in the Dragon Ball series.

Majin Buu takes many different forms, and all of the forms are simply referred to as "Majin Buu" in the series, but the various forms get their common names from various Dragon Ball Z video games. According to the book format Daizenshuu 1, Majin Buu was inspired by the late Akira Toriyama's third editor, Fuyuto Takeda. Originally he is described as Good Buu (魔人ブウ：善). His best friend is Mr. Satan.

Background

Majin Buu is an obese aka chubby alien creature that had existed since the times of immemorial. He was summoned from out of his long slumber 5 Million years before age, by the evil wizard known as Bibidi, in order to take over the entire universe. The fat version of Majin Buu however is the result of Ultra Buu's absorption of Grand Supreme Kai, the supreme ruler of all Kais. The merging of the juvenile, and immature Kid Buu with the benevolent and with the innocents of Grand Supreme Kai resulted in a childlike carefree being who, despite his behavior, possesses more power that far surpasses that of a Super Saiyan 2. Out of a curious note, absorbing the Grand Supreme Kai had somehow granted Majin Buu the ability to speak fluently, although he usually refers to himself in the third person. Buu therefore became more calmer and easier to control after absorbing the Grand Supreme Kai, and Bibidi then had decided to seal him completely away in a Sealed Ball.

Personality

He is an entity of pure good, and is very kind, caring, and playful as well. Once he was absorbed by Evil Buu, his playful and childish traits manifest in Super Buu and Kid Buu respectively. During his second battle against Gotenks, Super Saiyan Gotenks was preparing the Super Ghosts of his Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack for battle. Piccolo, showed Gotenks that Buu had already regenerated from the last Super Ghost attack. Super Buu was also lying on his stomach, drinking a soda (though it looked like a milkshake in the anime) and reading a magazine, much to Gotenks' fury and embarrassment. Also, when Goku and Vegeta were preparing for a battle, Kid Buu was sleeping (as Buu only needs so little time to rest), much to Goku's surprise and shock.

More importantly, due to his connection with Mr. Satan he had influence to stop him from killing the former as Super Buu and later on Kid Buu. For this reason, he also responded to Videl's request to be patient due to being Mr. Satan's daughter; though it wasn't enough to stop him from killing her. While mildly annoying to Super Buu, it infuriated Kid Buu enough that he spat him out as soon as he was able to. Despite his good nature, it is shown in Dragon Ball Super that when he is hungry, Good Buu can be foul tempered and grumpy like when he interrupted Mr. Satan's press conference and he is also shown to be quite gluttonous as he selfishly refused to share one of his pudding cups with Lord Beerus. However these negative traits could also be attributed to his child like personality as well.

Appearance

Majin Buu is a huge chubby light pink alien. He has black eyes that he keeps close. He also has no eyebrows. He wears a blue cape and shorts with the letter M on it.

Abilities

Majin Buu's power level is 1,000,000,000 according to the video game Dragon Ball Z: Scouter Battle Taikan Kamehameha. He shows his power when he effortlessly defeats the Eastern Supreme Kai and Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, and even goes on to humiliate Majin Vegeta.

After his fission, the fat Majin Buu is weaker than Evil Buu, but his power level is still significant enough. He actually manages to hold his own against Kid Buu, but he is soon outmatched and defeated. Good Buu's power level is 1,199,951,172 in a special mission in Scouter Battle Taikan Kamehameha, and Kid Buu's power level is 1,379,943,848.

Ki Blast

The most basic form of energy wave.

Flight

The ability to fly with the use of ki.

Absorption

Majin Buu fully engulfs and takes an opponent into his body to cause an increase in physical and mental prowess. Majin Buu usually has a severed body part liquefy, or he has a piece of skin fall off of his body. The goo will then sneak up behind the person, and stretch itself to be large enough to accommodate the target. The goo will then leap onto the person. The goo will try to smother as much of the target as it can on the first strike in order to make the capture easier. If Majin Buu is lucky, the goo will completely cover the target on the first leap.

Once the goo is on the said person, it will quickly cover up any part of the person that was not covered during when it first leaped. Once the target is completely covered, the goo will squeeze and solidify the target, trapping the person. It is seemingly impossible to escape the goo, no matter what the circumstances (such as Piccolo, who the goo took a long time to cover due to his armor). Majin Buu will then raise his finger up, and the goo will then launch up into the air with the person inside of it. The goo will then fly straight into Majin Buu and cover him. During the transformation, Majin Buu will become liquid himself, meaning that he is basically taking over the goo and has surrounded the person with his own liquefied body. He then begins to meld back into solid form, by making sure that the person is in the center of the goo. The person is shrunken, and is put inside Majin Buu's body in a pod. Majin Buu's fat form is assumed as a result of absorbing the obese Supreme Kai.

Body Manipulation and Regeneration

Majin Buu has full control over every aspect of his physical make-up, able to stretch, shape shift, liquefy, and otherwise manipulate his malleable body; useful as both an attack and defense and as a tool in absorption. He can also regenerate his body at a sub-molecular level, by allowing him to survive virtually anything; however, he was unable to regenerate from Goku's Spirit Bomb since it destroyed every atom of Buu. His unrivaled regeneration plus his endless resilience and stamina granted him near-immortality; he is shown at one point to survive the explosion that destroys the Earth. However, it is shown during the fight between Vegito and Super Buu that even his regeneration has its limits; after repeatedly being blow to bits and pounded into oblivion, Buu had to exert more and more effort to restore himself, at one point failing completely for a moment and leaving a gaping hole in his stomach. Majin Buu's version of regeneration is called Eternal Regeneration on a card in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z.

Healing

Majin Buu can completely heal another being through his Mend Beam, even if they are blind or near death. So as long as the recipient is still alive, Majin Buu can bring them back to health. It is unknown if this ability was possessed by Kid Buu or inherited from one of his absorbed Supreme Kais. He is unable to revive the dead.

Vaporize!

The first technique used by Majin Buu in the anime series. Majin Buu puts his arms forward and fires an immense bluish green beam that becomes a ball (instead of the other way around as with most attacks) The attack is so powerful it would have sent Gohan into space if it was not for Supreme Kai neutralizing the ball. This technique is called Vaporize! in the Raging Blast video game series.

Chocolate Beam=

This is one of Majin Buu's signature attacks. It is a unique ability to change objects and living beings around him into inanimate objects such as sweets and milk. Though he usually turns them into foods, Majin Buu has transformed a small population into clay for his house on one occasion during the Majin Buu Saga, and Super Buu once transformed a rock into a toilet. Vegito is the only entity that is shown to able to retain his will or move after being hit by the attack, by fighting Super Buu as "the world's strongest coffee candy".

Majin Buu used this technique against Dabura with success and by having the Demon King transformed into a cookie. When Majin Buu expelled his evil and became the pure hearted Good Buu, he tried utilizing it to finish Evil Buu, but it failed and backfired causing Good Buu's downfall and the result of Super Buu. In the final battle against Kid Buu, Good Buu desperately tried to use the chocolate beam to defeat Kid Buu, but it was also unsuccessful. Named in the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series.
