I personally love the Majin Boo arc. Yes, there are plenty of contrivances, and power scaling conundrums, but god dammit, there are so many things to love! Fusion, Ultimate Gohan, Vegetto, Majin Vegeta, Vegeta's character arc, Super Saiyan 3, Majin Boo, Mr. Satan's character arc, Gotenks, the advancement of the god hierarchy, Dabura, Saiyaman, Videl, Oob, etc.
***** D Franklin34 I never said the act of their sacrifices were any different, just that for Vegeta there was extra meaning behind his sacrifice. It signified a change in Vegeta's character. Chiaotzu was already good, making his sacrifice just an excuse to get him out of the story. Vegeta's sacrifice is an improvement. The fact that it was meaningless act does not harm the sacrifice.
Mee too. Vegeta thought he could just turn Majin, get that power-up and get what he wants by fighting Goku to prove he's the ultimate Saiyan without any repercussions. Well that plan backfired and once Goku called Vegeta on his bluff about Vegeta forgetting about his Wife & Kid, Vegeta knows he's done fucked up. And that's one of the best redemption arcs I've ever seen besides Sasuke
anyone else notice that vegeta has been both a demon (majin vegeta) and then a god? I don't think there is any character in the series that has gone through such a radical transformation.
Great video Geekdom, I have been trying to tell people for a while now that Dragon Ball Z has a lot of great themes and character development under all that fighting, it is really something worth checking out! Even a lot of Dragon Ball fans don't see the great character development in the Buu arc. Nice to see you spreading the word!
Vegeta in my opinion is the most developed character in all of DBZ. Every arc he changes more and more from evil to bad. Saiyan arc he was evil and wanted to destroy Goku and Earth. Namek/Frieza arc he was still bad but teaming up with Krillin Gohan and Piccolo also poring his heart out to Goku on his death bed we started to see he's actually nit a bad guy. Android/Cell arc he's now an allie with the Z fighters but still wants to be better than Goku not kill him anymore. Buu arc now he's a family man with a wife and son struggles with the last of his inner demons still inside him till the very end when he finally excepts that Goku is just better.
Brother your so intelligent no homo man. I'm going threw family problems right now with the mother of my child and your words on vegeta made me realize I need to be selfless and forget about myself and focus on my family . Thank u for ur words of wisdom.
This might sound crazy but I cried when Vegeta admitted Goku was better than him. Mainly cuz I have so much respect for Vegeta as a fighter, beating Frieza's henchmen, overcoming so much. Eve He still refers himself as a prince even though his father's gone. True pride right there man.. great video big d 👊
I gotta say the Buu Saga really is my favorite one. Buu was just such a fun villain, going through so many personalities and pushing everyone to their limits to win (Well until Goku goes "hurr durr Spirt Bum why didnt I do this in the fucking first place)
This entire series of yours was so interesting. The Dragonball community is really lucky to have fans such as yourself who take the time to delve in to this stuff. It really adds to the depth of the series and makes it overall far more enjoyable.
I love this videos so much. The Cell saga is my favorite but this saga has the best themes and teachings... Only Vegeta's development makes me love this arc even though the Buu saga doesn't have the greatest writing
While the storytelling isn't amazing, this is my favorite arc. I was preparing myself for a lot of bashing on this arc but I was very pleasantly surprised
The work that you do to impact this community is amazing. Double4Anime and Forneverworld and all their subs combined dont even come close. Then again if they do fuse, how the hell would they even function?
Amazing insight on these series. It makes you appreciate them in a whole new light! This is why I subscribed to your channel, and while I enjoy watching the rest of your content, this are "must see"s for any Dragon Ball fans out there. Thank you very much, Dan!
For me, comparing the Buu arc to earlier DBZ is like comparing Rocky 3 and 4 to the original, sure they're nowhere near as well made as the original Rocky, but they're still a hell of a lot of fun!
That Satan symbolism here is great. But the irony here is that Satan deceiving the people and getting their energy saved everyone from Buu (a demon’s) destruction
In my own opinion. This arc was fairly interesting, even with some of the best moments in the show, i think they should not have done so many concepts in one arc, if anything i think it would feel a bit better if they instead had their own story for Mystic Gohan, Ss 3, and fusion instead of having limited importance to the plot
the fact that after satan managed to calm boo, it was the very dark and evil side of humans the direct factor that detonated the evil side of Boo, was a fantastic yet tragic touch.
I jump back and forth between the Namek saga, and Boo saga as my favorite arcs. I just love that the Boo arc subverts our expectations with multiple false deus ex machina's. First we are shown that Babadi has nothing that can stand against Goku and Vegeta. Then Majin Boo shows up and is stronger than imagined, Vegeta sacrificed himself and obliterates Boo, but it doesn't work. Then Goku shows up and goes ss3, a new trump card, but again, it doesn't work (even though he could of?). Then Mr. Satan befriends him and helps him become good, threat over? Nope some asshole shoots his dog and Satan and Boo splits in two then reforms as evil and becomes stronger. But fusion! doesn't work. Ss3 fusion. Doesn't work. Gohan at his full potential! Boo absorbs gotenks and Piccolo. Potara! gets defused. They weaken boo, ss3 viable again, doesn't work. Good boo and vegeta? Nope. Then we get the Genki Dama, a move used twice before, to no effect in the manga cannon. But now, we get the biggest one ever, and it works! Set ups and pay offs! None of the new techniques work, but the Genki Dama, an old technique that's never worked. Brillant! Even if it wasn't planned that way! I feel like the Boo arc is a satire of the Cell arc, one of the most beloved arcs in the franchise. I think its great! I find it funny and a real return to form after several uber serious arcs, while maintaining a similar tone when it's needed. Man I can go on but no ones going to read this anyways.
The other videos about the other arcs were more detailed. You missed few times. Such as family drama or something like that. Goku's interaction with Goten, Goku with Gohan (Gohan was like a true saiyan when he came back... instead of being a hero of justice, he was like a saiyan son wanting to have fun with his dad). Vegeta and Trunks... Vegeta always had this fear of getting used to love, family and so on... yet, after he confessed his feelings, worries to Goku.. he realized he cares about his family, the way he hugged and knocked out Trunks was quite something. I think family is a big part of it. The variety in families, the variable circumstances and feelings were a big part of that. Even Kururin/Krillin going against super Buu knowing full well it meant instant death cause he seen his wife and daughter in the background. Goten seen his mother transformed into an egg and squashed. Chichi thinks that no matter what a child should not be the one to face Buu and out of rage for the well being of her son, confronts him. Gotenks, seeing his mother being eaten as chocolate... family issue and family drama. Edit: I really loved your other videos of the arcs and the analysis but I was hoping for more themes.
Finally! *The Rock voice* I've been waiting for this video lol amazing video dude. Still wondering to this day what Goku and Gohan would've looked like if Gohan didn't miss the potara lol. imagine the power they would've had. fully unlocked potential gohan plus goku's strength.
Let me just say, I paused before part 2. I am blown away by how you can break an manga/anime down and truly analyze these concepts. That being said, keep up the good work, and I'm un-pausing now to finish this vid. =]
What if Buu was, in fact, originally created by the Omni king to be an eternal god of destruction? But after absorbing the most evil creatures in the universe in attempts to get stronger, he became less of a god and more of an immortal evil entity? And absorbing creatures made others able to sense his ki? So by absorbing non-godly creatures, he became less godly each time. So he eventually stopped being the god of destruction all together and just started doing what ever the hell he wanted. That might explain why he is as old as the universe and immortal. Someone had to have created him for a purpose.
12:00 I understood that part of the saga like this - Once Vegeta (who could secretly go ssj2) saw that Goku could go SSJ2 as well he realized that his years of training have almost been for naught and his one chance to fight Goku would result in a loss so he had to go evil by being mindcontrolled + by getting a power boost from Babidi.
I've been waiting for this last installment of the saga themes and as always it was well worth it. Its really interesting just how many themes there are throughout DBZ that might not be noticeable upon a person's initial viewing. I really appreciate the predominant overarching themes of hope, perseverance, and redemption found throughout the series. While the Buu arc has plenty of plotholes and contrivances, it does have its moments and strengths as it was explained here. Its a shame Super doesn't have actual themes like Z. That's a testament to the superior writing that Z had.
I love Hercules development in this arc seeing him go from a selfish coward into a scared man who even when he knew that he has no chance against Kid Buu he fights him to avenge his best friend who at that point believed that he had sacrificed his life to save him.
I'm not a huge fan of the buu and I'm one of the people that wishes that the series should've ended at cell but I definitely agree that vegeta is the best written character in the entire buu saga.
Vegeta also missed the old Vegeta: the conqueror, the Prince, the Saiyajin. But Vegeta was also surprised to find another part of him a good part. That wounded him because he didnt know who we was truly: the father or the prince. And to know who he was he needed to complete the circle with Goku, to the have the rematch. He NEEDED to be controlled, to be his old self once more to close the circle with Goku. But at the end his heart was with his family. Its something like the missing ending of the Clockwork Orange. Vegeta grew up.
Though most of the fans hated the Buu Saga i personally enjoyed it + thr animation and art was lit🔥 Goku Vegeta looked More handsome and Vegeta's Sacrifice
OK you just made me draw parallels between the Buu saga and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Spirt Bomb being the unification of all of humanity, a.k.a. the Human Instrumentality Project.
Intriguing ponderings as usual and a fantastic way to open up diverse arenas of dialogue within the fandom. Just one thing, Brogeta; I would've left that last thing you said as an end credits scene somehow. Let the music fade and have white letters on a black screen say "Is there more?" or something to that effect, then roll correlating pics and music until you fade to black again. Just a thought, Mr. Ice Cold... ~_~
I honestly missed that Mr Satan could be a reference to the Satan himself! Nicely done video overall! (Also, sempai from anime live reactions sent me here, or i rather discovered your channel through the video you made with him a week ago, so i expect another tag in the near future...)
Its also important to note that Mr. Satan making Buu good, is what makes Satan the real world champion, something Piccolo even admits. Satan did not use violence, but he befriend Buu in a peaceful manner. Meaning that violence will never be the solution to any conflict.
There are theories that the character of Majin Buu was based on us Westerlings, especially Americans, he was the manifistation of the Americans. That is why he eats candy etc
First I'd like to say the way you approach this is a lot better then a lot of youtubers I see though I wished you could have gone over the East Supreme kai's character development a bit more. Even if it was in a different episode one funny thing you might see is the SK's similarity to Gohan actually, and was really just a child forced into the role of a savior.
The spiritual themes of the Buu saga harken back to the days of Dragon Ball with its mystical and spiritual elements. The Buu saga contrasts with the sci-fi themes of all the previous Z sagas (such as the scouters, traveling to other planets with spaceships and meeting aliens who aren't spiritual like the Kais) and especially the mechanical, biological and at times going a bit into horror territory themes of the Cell saga.
Yo Geekdom. Love your vids as always, but have you ever considered having music ON when you narrate/speak? To me it just sucks out the emotion when in the title cards (Part I, II, etc) music plays and then it cuts to just you talking (along with the static in the background). I think your vids would increase in value and quality if you have music in the background like when you do your Super Manga Reviews (but just enough where we can hear your voice, like what Rhymestyle does).
The friendship between Fat Buu and Mr. Satan was also beautiful. When Hercule was shot, you saw Buu's distress and how much he cared for him. When Buu was knocked out in the Kid Buu Saga, you saw how hurt that made Hercule and how much Buu meant to him. This isn't necessarily a theme, but I think it's still something worth mentioning.
In a way the I think Buu Arc is considered to be the Rocky V of DBZ series. Don't get me wrong I love the Buu Arc, plus the relationship between Goku and Vegeta is pretty much the highlight of this arc. In fact if you think about it, it's actually quite similar to the plot of Toy Story.
I really loved this arc... it is definately not perfect... but I usually tend to find a lot of flawed movies, games, series to be really awesome. And the vegita character development here was absolutely amazing.
Small question but are you thinking about doing this for the original Dragon Ball series? Just thought Id ask since I love this series and would love to see you keep it going. Edit-LOL I got to the end and realized its already coming! Also Im surprised you didnt touch on the parallels between Goku and Jesus in this saga. Sent by god he came back from the dead to save humanity and all who are good from a terrible evil and so on. Then again, I understand how you can only cover so much at a time in these vids.
vegeta sacrificing himself to kill buu was him trying to replicate what goku did with cell. it was vegeta being selfish and wanting the glory. it just happened to look heroic to everyone else. but you're to say vegetas soliloquy at the end when goku fights buu is the major turning point in vegetas character

Pretty much.

wha??
Brock Breeding in Smashville I read this as he started talking about Mr Satan hahaha
I personally love the Majin Boo arc. Yes, there are plenty of contrivances, and power scaling conundrums, but god dammit, there are so many things to love! Fusion, Ultimate Gohan, Vegetto, Majin Vegeta, Vegeta's character arc, Super Saiyan 3, Majin Boo, Mr. Satan's character arc, Gotenks, the advancement of the god hierarchy, Dabura, Saiyaman, Videl, Oob, etc.
Preach
Word
The only thing I disagree is Saiyaman. That was such a disappointment.
I got a laugh outta Saiyaman. Plus, it's just fun to beat the shit outta people with him in the video games.
+Trovão That's what happens when you turn to the Dark Side of the Gym: Crossfit.
when you realised that vegeta did a chiaotzu
Yeah but there was a point to Vegeta's sacrifice greater than the act itself.
Chiaotzu made a noble move as much as Vegeta for the same cause.
***** D Franklin34
I never said the act of their sacrifices were any different, just that for Vegeta there was extra meaning behind his sacrifice. It signified a change in Vegeta's character. Chiaotzu was already good, making his sacrifice just an excuse to get him out of the story.
Vegeta's sacrifice is an improvement. The fact that it was meaningless act does not harm the sacrifice.
extragirth64
See if you had elucidated before, we would not have misunderstood. Thanks
D Franklin34
I look at the original comment and still see no problem with what I said.
I love when Goku calls Vegeta on his bluff.
Mee too. Vegeta thought he could just turn Majin, get that power-up and get what he wants by fighting Goku to prove he's the ultimate Saiyan without any repercussions. Well that plan backfired and once Goku called Vegeta on his bluff about Vegeta forgetting about his Wife & Kid, Vegeta knows he's done fucked up. And that's one of the best redemption arcs I've ever seen besides Sasuke

+Eyeless Jack lol
+Smug Bun Eh not really a demon king. Just a mislead Namekian.
Highlights of this saga:
Majin Vegeta vs Goku
Kid Buu vs Goku
Vegeta's Final Atonement
Goku's Spirit Bomb
Introduction of SS3
There maybe some issues with the Buu saga's storytelling but I'd take it over the entire DBS so far.
Great video Geekdom, I have been trying to tell people for a while now that Dragon Ball Z has a lot of great themes and character development under all that fighting, it is really something worth checking out!

says a dude with a majin vegeta comments picture .Sure not a little byas
He did a Piccolo....it just took a long and honestly dragged out time. Was such a drama queen
Gohan is the most developed character.
Santa Snake I agree too :D
Brother your so intelligent no homo man. I'm going threw family problems right now with the mother of my child and your words on vegeta made me realize I need to be selfless and forget about myself and focus on my family . Thank u for ur words of wisdom.
How'd your situation go?
This might sound crazy but I cried when Vegeta admitted Goku was better than him. Mainly cuz I have so much respect for Vegeta as a fighter, beating Frieza's henchmen, overcoming so much. Eve He still refers himself as a prince even though his father's gone. True pride right there man.. great video big d 👊
Why did Mr. Toriyama have to make Videl lose her Tomboy traits, that made her interesting and likable.
FilmNutCase gohan broke her back in
Lakers fan oh shit 😂
I gotta say the Buu Saga really is my favorite one. Buu was just such a fun villain, going through so many personalities and pushing everyone to their limits to win (Well until Goku goes "hurr durr Spirt Bum why didnt I do this in the fucking first place)

I LOVE the Buu Saga!!! It's so Buu-tiful! Even though it has MANY major flaws, I still really like it :)
this was a really enjoyable watch, thanks ^^
These are the best videos you've got on the channel. Outstanding work man, congrats.
The points you make in this video are what makes the Buu arc worthwhile. Don't care what anyone else says about it
I love this videos so much. The Cell saga is my favorite but this saga has the best themes and teachings... Only Vegeta's development makes me love this arc even though the Buu saga doesn't have the greatest writing
Vegeta's development was the best part.
Vegeta's character arc is my no.1 favourite thing that came out the buu saga. Great in depth vid, I really like this series.
Amazing vid man! Put together perfectly :)
I love the bible reference lol 😂
While the storytelling isn't amazing, this is my favorite arc. I was preparing myself for a lot of bashing on this arc but I was very pleasantly surprised
love these Dragon ball in dephts dude
just goes to show ur appreciation for dragon ball...Keep em coming!!!
The work that you do to impact this community is amazing. Double4Anime and Forneverworld and all their subs combined dont even come close.
Then again if they do fuse, how the hell would they even function?
Amazing insight on these series. It makes you appreciate them in a whole new light! This is why I subscribed to your channel, and while I enjoy watching the rest of your content, this are "must see"s for any Dragon Ball fans out there.

Great Video bro I can really see how much work you put in to this vid, keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to more in-depth videos.
This.. is deep.. deeper than any Dragon Ball video I've seen so far, good job!
That Satan symbolism here is great. But the irony here is that Satan deceiving the people and getting their energy saved everyone from Buu (a demon’s) destruction
Geekdom and mistare fusion make you appreciate dragonball on a deeper level man 0_o
Great video, really appreciate and dig the passion and research that goes into your vids. Glad I found your channel, keep up the good work.
In my own opinion. This arc was fairly interesting, even with some of the best moments in the show, i think they should not have done so many concepts in one arc, if anything i think it would feel a bit better if they instead had their own story for Mystic Gohan, Ss 3, and fusion instead of having limited importance to the plot
the fact that after satan managed to calm boo, it was the very dark and evil side of humans the direct factor that detonated the evil side of Boo, was a fantastic yet tragic touch.
Vids like this is why geekdom is the g.o.a.t

Read and agreed.
I can see that if you base it off of the anime only, but in the manga the Namek arc moves so smoothly.
This may be the best comment I ever read overall
Dude, that means a lot to me!
+JoJo Banks I wouldn't say its boring but it does drag on at times in the anime.
The other videos about the other arcs were more detailed.
You missed few times. Such as family drama or something like that.

Goten seen his mother transformed into an egg and squashed. Chichi thinks that no matter what a child should not be the one to face Buu and out of rage for the well being of her son, confronts him.

Haven't seen the video yet but I know it'll be great
Great video bro, Zeon needs to watch this so hopefully we'll hate the Buu ark less!
Great video Geekdom but don't forget Vegeta has finally caught up to Goku
What if Buu was, in fact, originally created by the Omni king to be an eternal god of destruction? But after absorbing the most evil creatures in the universe in attempts to get stronger, he became less of a god and more of an immortal evil entity? And absorbing creatures made others able to sense his ki? So by absorbing non-godly creatures, he became less godly each time. So he eventually stopped being the god of destruction all together and just started doing what ever the hell he wanted. That might explain why he is as old as the universe and immortal.

My personal favorite part is gohan trying to fit in
I've been waiting for this last installment of the saga themes and as always it was well worth it. Its really interesting just how many themes there are throughout DBZ that might not be noticeable upon a person's initial viewing.

Its a shame Super doesn't have actual themes like Z. That's a testament to the superior writing that Z had.
Champa arc sure has themes. Not sure about BoG and RoF tho.
Buu saga is my personal favorite just because I'm a Vegeta fan boy it was awesome to see his character development in the arc
Geekdom always coming in clutch with a great new video
I hate the buu saga , I never re watch it , Cept for some key moments here and there , I can never sit through the whole thing. It’s just ... ugh lol
I love Hercules development in this arc seeing him go from a selfish coward into a scared man who even when he knew that he has no chance against Kid Buu he fights him to avenge his best friend who at that point believed that he had sacrificed his life to save him.
Love the the recent video you did with anime live reaction and congrats on 80k man, you really do deserve it.
This arc was my most favorite in DBZ.
burgerkingJ yeah I love this arc even with inconsistent story telling
Saiyan Saga is mine
I have to say even though the buu arc has problems it does wonders for vegeta and his character
I'm not a huge fan of the buu and I'm one of the people that wishes that the series should've ended at cell but I definitely agree that vegeta is the best written character in the entire buu saga.
But we would have never heard Vegeta call Goku his friend :(
favorite saga had so much fun watching the buu saga ssj3 goku n kid buu was going at it love fights like those
Danny you just become my favorite DB youtuber. And because of your material I thank you.
Thanks,my favorite series of yours.
This video series deserves an A+++++
buu saga is my favourite DBZ arc maybe in the top 5 or 10 best dragon ball arcs ever that I've seen
Db in depth is so fucking good
You are the man Geekdom101 keep up the good work!
Another fantastic edition of dragon ball in depth, these videos are pure gold. Looking forward to the themes of dragon ball!
This was excellent. Bravo Geekdom
Vegeta also missed the old Vegeta: the conqueror, the Prince, the Saiyajin. But Vegeta was also surprised to find another part of him a good part. That wounded him because he didnt know who we was truly: the father or the prince. And to know who he was he needed to complete the circle with Goku, to the have the rematch. He NEEDED to be controlled, to be his old self once more to close the circle with Goku. But at the end his heart was with his family. Its something like the missing ending of the Clockwork Orange. Vegeta grew up.
Would you try a GT theme? Or maybe when super ends one on that?
Though most of the fans hated the Buu Saga i personally enjoyed it + thr animation and art was lit🔥 Goku Vegeta looked More handsome and Vegeta's Sacrifice
OK you just made me draw parallels between the Buu saga and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Spirt Bomb being the unification of all of humanity, a.k.a. the Human Instrumentality Project.
I love the Buu Arc mainly because it is so different form all the others. Great job D, really enjoyed this Themes series.
Thanks so much for this geekdom. This video gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation of the buu arc . Keep up the good work man!!!
Intriguing ponderings as usual and a fantastic way to open up diverse arenas of dialogue within the fandom. Just one thing, Brogeta; I would've left that last thing you said as an end credits scene somehow.

Great job on this. I never went super meta on this arc outside of Buy and Vegeta's arcs.
just when you think it's over, he pulls you back in! Can't wait Lord Geekdom101
Another amasing video, really well presented and very informative
First I'd like to say the way you approach this is a lot better then a lot of youtubers I see though I wished you could have gone over the East Supreme kai's character development a bit more. Even if it was in a different episode one funny thing you might see is the SK's similarity to Gohan actually, and was really just a child forced into the role of a savior.
Theses are so good love them only one I ever thought about was the satan one
Nice video and your so close to 80,000. Keep up the good work.
The spiritual themes of the Buu saga harken back to the days of Dragon Ball with its mystical and spiritual elements. The Buu saga contrasts with the sci-fi themes of all the previous Z sagas (such as the scouters, traveling to other planets with spaceships and meeting aliens who aren't spiritual like the Kais) and especially the mechanical, biological and at times going a bit into horror territory themes of the Cell saga.
Honestly one of the best dramatic deaths in anime. First time I saw that episode with Vegita sacrificing himself like he did I just was like WOW!
Yo Geekdom. Love your vids as always, but have you ever considered having music ON when you narrate/speak? To me it just sucks out the emotion when in the title cards (Part I, II, etc) music plays and then it cuts to just you talking (along with the static in the background). I think your vids would increase in value and quality if you have music in the background like when you do your Super Manga Reviews (but just enough where we can hear your voice, like what Rhymestyle does).
I really enjoyed this Dragon Ball in depth video.
I enjoyed these Theme vids and will look out for the future theme vids!
+geekdom101 really great job with these dragon ball in depth videos man, that's why your the best DBZ youtuber in my opinion.
keep it up !!!
I love Buu Saga, it has such epic moments. And also a lot of humor, Gotenks is freakin funny.
Nice job on this in depth looking forward to the next
The friendship between Fat Buu and Mr. Satan was also beautiful. When Hercule was shot, you saw Buu's distress and how much he cared for him. When Buu was knocked out in the Kid Buu Saga, you saw how hurt that made Hercule and how much Buu meant to him. This isn't necessarily a theme, but I think it's still something worth mentioning.
In a way the I think Buu Arc is considered to be the Rocky V of DBZ series.
Don't get me wrong I love the Buu Arc, plus the relationship between Goku and Vegeta is pretty much the highlight of this arc. In fact if you think about it, it's actually quite similar to the plot of Toy Story.
Great and enlightning video, as usual mate!! Hoping we get to see more of these!
hey are you him?
It’s the fucking weirdest fun arc we get. There’s a bunch of gags for us in the anime it’s great
Not sure I've ever seen a better bromance than Goku and Vegeta. At least in the realm of anime.
I guess u haven't seen other animes...
I guess we have differing opinions :P
+LukaBlight69 What about Krillin and Goku?. They have been friends for so long ever since Dragon Ball.
Buu is made from chaos. Choas embodied. More primordial than a daemon.
I really loved this arc... it is definately not perfect... but I usually tend to find a lot of flawed movies, games, series to be really awesome. And the vegita character development here was absolutely amazing.
Small question but are you thinking about doing this for the original Dragon Ball series? Just thought Id ask since I love this series and would love to see you keep it going.
Edit-LOL I got to the end and realized its already coming!
Also Im surprised you didnt touch on the parallels between Goku and Jesus in this saga. Sent by god he came back from the dead to save humanity and all who are good from a terrible evil and so on. Then again, I understand how you can only cover so much at a time in these vids.
vegeta sacrificing himself to kill buu was him trying to replicate what goku did with cell. it was vegeta being selfish and wanting the glory. it just happened to look heroic to everyone else. but you're to say vegetas soliloquy at the end when goku fights buu is the major turning point in vegetas character
Bro... the good son reference though 😂😂😂
