Buu Arc ending thoughts?

[Spiral-Force]

Kid Buu met his demise through the Super Spirit Bomb – a plan that Vegeta came up with as he concluded that the earthlings should take responsibility for the survival of their own planet for a change. Most of the earthlings were sceptical when Vegeta/Goku were trying to reason with them through King Kai, but naturally, Hercule’s status influenced the masses to finally cooperate when he spoke out instead. What did you think of the ending in general, such as Vegeta’s plan + Hercule being a pivotal part of the finale? Did Vegeta’s initial dismissal of the 3rd wish come across as being too careless/out-of-character?

I liked it. Vegeta changed and also a it made Mr. Satan like a true hero this time. As for the 3rd wise, why would it be out of character for him?

Don't you find it strange that he didn't attempt to request for something that could further help the situation, like for Goku's strength to be restored? He knew he was practically burnt out. In the anime he made the suggestion in the middle of the Spirit Bomb struggle.

That's true but he probably thought that Goku has enough power to pull it off after all they were shocked to see Pure Boo to pushed back the Spirit Bomb. I don't think he should be reminded by Dende but just remember it IMO.

Nothing really suggested Vegeta knew exactly how the Genki Dama worked. He could have easily thought Goku would just nail him and it would be over.

As for as the ending of the climactic fight, it was alright. Not as good as the choreography of most Part 1 climactic battles or the tension and drama that the Piccolo Daimao or Vegeta fights were (especially the Vegeta fight having the best use of teamwork in the series apart from perhaps the gang in the first arc taking down Oozaru Goku), but the Pure Boo fight also being a team effort and the stakes of Vegeta's existence being erased permanently places it easily above any fight from the Freeza Arc and pretty much 99% of the Cell Arc (#17 VS Piccolo and Goku VS #19 being the only ones on its level for me).
As a story element, it wasn't good as it was overall just a contrived way of making Goku the hero and the reasoning for why Kibitoshin didn't just Kai Kai Gohan over there to finish the job was barely existent, but far from the worst climactic showdown of the series.

The full ending of the arc with Goku leaving his family to train a boy he just met was the worst ending out of any of the potential endings the series had created for its arcs and was the one it went with, though still not the worst actual ending to an arc we got when considering the clusterfuck of an ending for the Freeza Arc.

Even if that were the case, they had to wait a while for Porunga to restore the humans, let alone use their energy for the plan. In the meantime, Mr. Buu was getting the snot beat out of him, and Goku/Vegeta just watched since their energy was spent. Knowing Kid Buu's unpredictable nature, he could have shifted his focus back to them any time he wanted. Quite risky when you think about it.

But who knows if he thought it really mattered at the moment. He didn't even bother to transform to fight Kid Boo again.

Course it matters. Although Buu was toying with him, Vegeta could've still died. For instance, earlier on when Vegeta had more energy, Buu was about to kill him until Hercule diverted his attention.

He didn't even bother to transform to fight Kid Boo again.

Vegeta was still weak from the beating he received. No reason for him to simply not bother to transform against someone that can slap him around even at his best.

As for Kibitoshin not Kai Kai'ing Gohan, didn't Kibitoshin state that he hadn't the energy needed to teleport Dende to the battle field so the Namekian could restore Goku's energy?

Which is the paper thin excuse I referred to when that could be resolved by Dende simply healing him, as the Freeza Arc suggested he restored stamina as well as healing injuries.
