Majin Buu(Japanese:Ma nhân ブウ,Hepburn:Majin Bū),generally spelledMajin Booin subtitles of the Japaneseanime,and rendered asDjinn-Booin theViz Mediamanga,is a fictional character and final antagonist in theDragon Ballmanga series created byAkira Toriyama,before the release ofDragon Ball Super.He made his debut appearance in chapter #460 "Majin Buu Appears?!", first published inWeekly Shōnen Jumpmagazine on March 1, 1994.[1]Majin Buu is a genie-like magical life form awoken by the evilwarlockBabidi that terrorized the universe millions of years before the events ofDragon Balltake place.
He was sealed away by Bibidi and brought to Earth; however, whilst being sealed away, Bibidi was killed and Buu remained sealed away and dormant. During the events ofDragon Ball,he is revived by Bibidi's sonBabidiin order to continue his father's plan to conquer the entire universe.
Creation and design
[edit]Manga author Akira Toriyama stated that when creating a villain inDragon Ball,he would try to make them different from any that had come before. Although it was difficult and he was usually not entirely pleased with the results, he thinks he did achieve this with Majin Buu.[2]TheShenlong Timesissue #2, a bonus pamphlet given to some buyers of theDaizenshuu 2: Story Guideguidebook, says that Majin Buu was modeled after Toriyama's editor at the time, Fuyuto Takeda.[3]Buu, Bibidi and Babidi take their names from the song "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo"in the Walt Disney movieCinderella.[4]Toriyama stated that the fight between Buu and Gotenks was fun to draw because he was able to come up with odd techniques in "the spirit of gag manga".[5]: 167
Majin Buu has several different forms, each with a different appearance and personality; however, all are pink creatures (with the exception of Pure Evil Majin Buu, which is dark grey) with an antenna on their head and several pores on both sides of their heads, arms, chest and vertebrae. They have a rubbery body (again, with the exception of Pure Evil Majin Buu) that canregenerateinstantly from any wound,[6]separate parts of it from themselves and control them independently,[7]and can even completely restore themselves from vapor.[8]Buu can also heal damaged beings,[9]and can absorb other organisms by enveloping them with his body or eating them,[10]the latter done by using his signature attack that turns people into food such as candy.[11]
When first introduced he is overweight and wears gloves, boots, a vest, and a cape. His appearance, magical powers, how he appeared from his ball, longevity, and how he is summoned to Earth by an evil warlock using the life-force of his victims are all somewhatgenie-esque, an aspect further implied in the Japanese word "Majin" in his name, which can read as "Djinn",which led to Viz Media rendering his name as Djinn-Boo for the English manga release. His trousers, in all forms he takes, bear the same" M "symbol like many other characters associated with Babidi in this part of the manga; whether this is short for Buu's title of" Majin ", Babidi's title of" Madoshi "in the original Japanese or something else is unclear. In a 2007 interview printed inShonen Jump,Akira Toriyama stated that Buu's design was inspired by adaptations ofOne Thousand and One Nights(Arabian Nights) that he watched as a child.[12]
Majin Buu's manner is very naive and childlike, taking joy in fighting and scaring people. Throughout the series, he is always referred to by either Majin Buu or simply Buu, no matter what form he is in. However, each form has been given their own names in guidebooks, video games, or by fans, to distinguish between them. The first fat form seen is referred to as "Innocent Majin Buu"(Ngây thơ khí な ma nhân ブウ,Mujakina Majin Bū).When Buu expels the evil inside him, it takes on a taller and much skinnier, frail form referred to as "Pure Evil Majin Buu"(Ma nhân ブウ thuần 粋 ác,Majin Bū Junsui Aku).[5]: 61 When this Buu absorbs the fat one, he transforms into a muscular version of himself, referred to as "Evil Majin Buu"(Ma nhân ブウ ác,Majin Bū Aku),with English media referring to him as "Super Buu".[5]: 61 Personality-wise, Super Buu is more intelligent than Innocent Buu and is described as "pure rage".[13]
This intelligence allows him to plan for the opportunity to absorb Gotenks andPiccolo,and laterGohan.After absorbing the first two, his antennae lengthen forming five full-fingers, Evil Buu gains Piccolo's intellect and momentarily wore Gotenks's vest and strength before his latter victim's fusion wore off.This form is sometimes called "Buutenks" by fans. He then absorbed Gohan, gaining his power while wearing hisdōgitop and undershirt. Again, fans often refer to this form as "Buuhan." The last form shown, referred to asKid Buuor "Pure Majin Buu"(Ma nhân ブウ thuần 粋,Majin Bū Junsui),[5]: 61 is actually Buu's original form. Super Buu was forced into that state after the fat Buu was completely removed from his body along with Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo. While a child-like version of Evil Buu, Kid Buu is completely feral and animalistic, living only to destroy and is called "evil incarnate".[14]Daizenshuu 2: Story Guiderefers to him as the "strongest enemy in the universe".[15]Even after Kid Buu is killed, thefat Majin Buulives on Earth as the completely kindhearted Mr. Buu(ミスター・ブウ,Misutā Bū).In the anime, Buu's "Evil" and "Pure" forms' designs differ from the manga in that they both always have five fingers. Goku wishes for Buu to be reincarnated as a good person on Earth, so he's reborn as a boy named Uub(ウーブ,Ūbu),who meets Goku during a tournament at the end ofDragon Ball Z.
Voice actors
[edit]In the original Japanese, Buu and all his forms are voiced byKōzō Shioyain all media,[16]with the only exception being inDragon Ball Daima,where a mini version of Majin Buu was voiced by Shiho Amuro.[17]He said he looked at the character as a self-centered three-year-old. Even through all the different forms of the character, Shioya explained that he tried not to deviate too far from the personality of the original while subtlety showing that he changed form.[18]
In the Funimation dub, Josh Martin voices Fat and Kid Buu,[19][20]whileJustin Cookvoices Evil and Super Buu.[21]Meanwhile, in the Ocean Group dubs, Fat Buu is voiced by Scott McNeil,[22]while Evil, Super, and Kid Buu are voiced by Brian Dobson.[23]
Powers and abilities
[edit]Being the final villain faced by the protagonists in the originalDragon Ballseries, and the franchise at the time, Buu is the most powerful of them all, possessing vastsuperhuman strength,speed and reflexes beyond comprehension. He is able to channel his innerkienergy for devastating offensive techniques capable of destroying planets or star systems.
Buu also holds the unique ability of being able to transform objects or living things into chocolate or other sweet foods which he then consumes to satiate himself, using the antenna on his head, and he is shown to be capable of magically altering an object's appearance.
Buu is also able to instantly recover and regenerate from severe trauma, dismemberment and even combustion at a sub-molecular level, and heal wounds from other people. His body is soft but flexible, able to stretch his limbs and any part of his body on indefinite lengths, as well as changing shape into whatever he desires.
He is also capable of detaching a large part of his body for various purposes, like ensnaring his targets like a lasso rope, and making clones of himself. This also allows him to absorb other people to obtain their power. Buu can instantly emulate techniques used on him, launching Goku's signatureKamehamehamany times, and capable of usingInstant Transmission,in his original form. Buu is also revealed to possess godlykiafter absorbing the two Supreme Kai, granting him a tremendous surge in power, retaining it after reverting to his pure state.
Appearances
[edit]InDragon Ball
[edit]Before the events ofDragon Ball,the evil warlock Bibidi resurrected Majin Buu; a being that existed "solely to slaughter and destroy" and within a few years they destroyed hundreds of planets.[24]Buu even killed two of the fiveSupreme Kaiswho govern the universe and absorbed another two including their leader the Grand Supreme Kai, which dulled his destructive nature and turned him into his current form. But Buu was still too ferocious even for Bibidi to control, resulting with the Majin temporarily sealed and moved to their next target, Earth.[24]But the last surviving Supreme Kai took advantage of this to kill Bibidi with Buu sealed away on Earth.[24]In the present day, Bibidi's son Babidi makes it his goal to revive Buu, which the surviving Supreme Kai plans to prevent by killing him. He underestimates the power of Goku and Vegeta, and their spent energy results in Majin Buu's quick revival.[25]When Babidi threatens to re-seal him, Buu begins to obey his orders and destroys and kills everything and everyone in sight in order to get Piccolo, Trunks and Goten to come out of hiding.[26]That is until Goku asks him why he lets Babidi Boss him around, leading to Buu killing him, however he continues his mischief and destruction, unaware that what he is doing is wrong.[27]
Majin Buu attacks humans, destroying nearly all of the world's population, then builds a house by converting people into clay. He is resting in his house whenMr. Satanbefriends him while waiting for an opening to kill him.[28]The friendship coupled with the affection from a dog he healed, has Buu resolve not to kill anymore when two civilians shoot the dog and then Mr. Satan.[27]Buu heals them, but the evil aspect of his personality takes advantage of Buu's rage to manifest out of his body, transforming into a taller and much skinnier Buu, who attacks the now weaker fat Buu.[27]The evil Buu reflects fat Buu's attack, turning his benign counterpart into chocolate and eating him to become whole and transform into a more dangerous Majin Buu, known as Super Buu.[27]Super Buu quickly senses Piccolo, Trunks, and Goten and goes to them, demanding Gotenks fight him.[29]Gohan then arrives and clearly has the upper-hand over Buu, but Buu absorbs Gotenks and later Piccolo. Now stronger than Gohan, Buu, knowing that there is a time limit on Gotenks's fusion, planned ahead and is able to absorb Gohan as well.[29]However,GokuandVegetafuse together into Vegito, but, despite being powerful enough to defeat him, they intentionally get absorbed by Buu in order to enter his body.[30]Though the Potara Fusion ran its course, Goku and Vegeta manage to retrieve Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks before they completely separate the absorbed fat Buu from Super Buu.[30]
The removal of fat Buu causes Super Buu to revert to his original form, known as Kid Buu, no longer deluded by his benign counterpart as he immediately obliterates the Earth.[30]Kid Buu then follows Goku and Vegeta to the Kai's planet, where, after a battle with Goku, he is stalled by Vegeta and fat Buu, so that Goku can finish him off with a giantSpirit Bombmade with energy from the people on the newly resurrected Earth.[30]The good fat Majin Buu goes on to live with Mr. Satan on Earth asMr. Buu,after the Dragon Balls erase the people of Earth's memories about him.[30]As wished by Goku, Kid Buu is reincarnated as a child named Uub, whom, ten years later, Goku meets at the world martial arts tournament and leaves with to train as his successor.[30]
InDragon Ball Super
[edit]Buu encountersBeerusduringBulma's birthday party, and quickly provoked the deity into a rampage after he childishly refused to share some pudding dessert. Buu is later selected to participate in the Universe 7 team's tournament with Universe 6. He is disqualified before the tournament begins by falling asleep during the exam. Buu agrees to fight with Goku and Gohan in the Universe Survival tournament, being matched against Universe 9's Basil.[31]Buu is initially overwhelmed, though becomes enraged over seeing Mr. Satan injured by the battle collaterally and quickly overpowers Basil. After consuming a drug that increases his power, Basil seems to gain the upper hand on Buu with a buffer form coinciding with his attacks, however, Buu is unaffected by the attacks and defeats Basil with a Kamehameha wave. Buu then heals Mr. Satan.[32]After the mini-tournament, Buu begins to train on Earth for the Tournament of Power. Due to the intensity of his training, Buu gains a slimmer and toned body and spars against Goku, beating him. Alas, also due to the intensity of his training, Buu falls asleep and will not wake for 3 months, forcing him to miss the Tournament of Power.Friezais temporarily resurrected to fight in Buu's place.
Shortly after the events of the Tournament of Power andDragon Ball Super: Broly,Buu is kidnapped by the Galactic Patrol and taken to their headquarters. Goku and Vegeta are taken as well and find out their kidnapper is Merus, the Galactic Patrol's #1 elite patrolman. Merus explains that an evil criminal named Moro has escaped from galactic prison, and in order to recapture this criminal they need the Grand Supreme Kai, who remains inside of Buu after his absorption. The Galactic Patrol reveals that the Grand Supreme Kai locked away the ancient warlock, Moro, before Buu had absorbed him. While waiting for Buu to wake, Goku and Vegeta travel to New Namek to battle Moro, who is searching for the Dragon Balls, but are unsuccessful and have their power taken from them. Buu eventually awakens and is taken to New Namek to confront Moro. During the fight, the Grand Supreme Kai takes control of Buu's body and it's revealed that Buu once had godki,but it was destroyed when the pure Majin Buu was killed by Goku. No longer having godki,the Grand Supreme Kai is unable lock away Moro and fails to stop him. After Moro wishes for all the Galactic Patrol's prisoners to escape and come to Namek; Buu, Goku, Merus and Jaco are forced to retreat back to the Galactic Patrol HQ. Throughout the whole story arc, Grand Supreme Kai remained dominant over Buu's body. At the climax of the fight he was seen collecting godkifrom the oblivious Uub. He sent it to Vegeta, who then later transferred it to Goku. Absorbing that divine energy, Goku reactivated complete Ultra Instinct and killed Moro for good. The Grand Supreme Kai then reverts to the pudgy Majin Buu once more, hungry and oblivious to all that transpired.
In other media
[edit]InDragon Ball GT,an anime-only sequel to the series, both Mr. Buu and Uub participate in battles against foes such asBaby,Super Android #17andSuper One-Star Dragon.They also fuse together, creating a character referred to as"Majuub"or Super Uub(スーパーウーブ,Sūpā Ūbu),essentially recreating Majin Buu once more. Buu is also seen in the 2008 short filmDragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!and plays a small role in the 2013 theatricalDragon Ball Zfilm,Battle of Gods.
Majin Buu briefly appears in an episode of the 1997 anime remake of Toriyama'sDr. Slump,and makes a brief cameo appearance in Toriyama's manga seriesNeko Majin Z.He also appears in chapter four of theSaikyō JumpmangaDragon Ball SD,asuper deformedspin-off ofDragon Ballwritten by Naho Ōishi, which depicts a comedic alternate retelling of him being released.[33]Ōishi drew a special chapter focusing on Buu for the July 2014 issue, titledDragon Ball SD Majin Buu Extra Story(ドラゴンボールSD ma nhân ブウ phiên ngoại biên,Doragonbōru SD Majin Bū Bangai-hen)it also features Toriyama'sNeko Majin.[34]
He is aplayable characterin the franchise'svideo games,the first beingDragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3in 1994, but also in most of the more recent games such as theDragon Ball Z: Sparking!series. In the 2005 gameDragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2,Evil Buu creates a dimensional hole that extends to the afterlife, traveling there and encountering Vegeta and Dabura, who team up against him under the conviction that their combined strength can prevail.[35]After the fight, Evil Buu commands Dabura take him to find strong opponents,[36]and meetsCell,pledging to smash him.[37]Evil Buu and Dabura defeat Cell with a combined attack.[38]He is also playable in theWeekly Shōnen Jumpcrossover gamesBattle Stadium D.O.N,Jump Ultimate StarsandJump Force

Reception
[edit]Majin Buu is a popular character in theDragon Ballseries, in 2004 Japanese fans voted him the eighth most popular character.[41]He was rated byWizardmagazine as the 40th-greatestvillainof all time, the onlyanimeormangacharacter from Japan to make the list.[42]IGN's David F. Smith states that although he is tough, Majin Buu's pink complexion prevents anybody from taking him as a serious threat.[43]Theron Martin ofAnime News Networkclaims Buu's "childlike demeanor actually gives his malicious smiles and mad faces a surprisingly chilling effect", claiming it sets him apart from the "hyper-evil badasses" of the series.[4]He called Josh Martin's English vocal performance far more childish than Kōzō Shioya's, but also felt that Shioya's voice does not fit Buu's behavior.[4]According to Dennis Amith of J!-ENT, seeing him "kill people for the sake of hunger or for enjoyment to hear things go 'boom'"makes Buu the deadliest villain of the series.[44]
