Can Buu get a zenkai if he absorbs a Saiyan?

[Tapion]

It is explicitly stated that when Buu absorbs someone, he gets their power and skills. So?

 

[withheldforprivacy]

A better question is, given his infinite stamina, if he absorbs Goku, will he be able to do kaioken at infinitefold?

 

[Tapion]

I think that Kaioken is a "training" thing. You train, you're capable of enduring more. So, Buu would probably be able to use a x500 Kaioken or so.

 

[Papasmurf]

I don't think so, in regular cases. Cell was incapable of receiving a zenkai until all he had left was his core (losing his upper body, or multiple limbs, etc. didn't count), and Boo's regeneration is vastly superior to Cell's - being burned until nothing was left of him but puffs of smoke is basically a temporary inconvenience, after all. And the injuries he sustained after absorbing the half-Saiyans weren't nearly as severe as Cell losing almost all of his body, and, well, an injury more severe than that would require him to nearly fade out of existence.

The only possibility I could think of would be where he was severely beaten by a stronger Boo like Good Boo was, and got knocked out without being able to recover, which may constitute a zenkai since Fatty actually needed healing from Dende that time.

Boo would need to be near death in order to get a Zenkai, I wonder if this is even possible unless he's fighting another Boo? If so than it is highly unlikely.

 

[sei'taer]

Yeah it's far more likely that buu should be able to do a kaio-ken x 10^300 and then regenerate than him ever being near death enough to receive a zenkai.

 

[kriss-]

Well, Boo isn't known to be capable of even taking damage, unless he is fighting another Boo. By the merits of the logic, it's unlikely that he would ever receive a a Zenkai, and more unlikely that he would have a Saiyan absorbed while simultaneously fighting himself.

 

[SSJ2]

Not possible unless he is facing another Boo, even then I doubt it would happen.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

If Boo knew the zenkaj thing then ge can do it.

 

[kriss-]

I think Boo's ability to absorb any fighting technique is completely different than absorbing the saiyans biology. He needs to absorb them in order to do that, but its unlikely that he could actually be near death.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

He was able to take Piccolo's knowledge and the fusion technique, so I don't see why not.

 

[kriss-]

He was able to take Piccolo's knowledge and the fusion technique, so I don't see why not.

Only after he absorbed them.

Well, Boo isn't known to be capable of even taking damage, unless he is fighting another Boo. By the merits of the logic, it's unlikely that he would ever receive a a Zenkai, and more unlikely that he would have a Saiyan absorbed while simultaneously fighting himself.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Same thing if he absorb a Saiyan.

 

[kriss-]

Same thing if he absorb a Saiyan.

But there are two things that are completely essential for him to receive a Zenkai, these are:

a) He needs to absorb a Saiyan.
b) He needs to be fighting another Majin Boo.

Both of these events occurring at the same time is pretty much impossible now. Since Good Boo is... well good. And Pure Boo has been reincarnated as a good hearted person without an ounce of evil.
