Is Mr. Boo the same power wise as fat Boo

Just say it if you don’t like when people talk to you man. Geez.

Where does Buff Buu's power go? It can't just disappear, it has to go somewhere else. It must be absorbed by Good Buu for anything to make sense imo.

It ought to be understood that their target takes precedence over short-term moments of surprise. Given that, prior to that sequence, Goku picked up on the basic idea of: cut these absorption objects to reduce the host's power, then that logic would follow suit with the Buu they found.

The Super Buu they encountered in his body was there to antagonize and fight them. Why wouldn't they take a fighting stance? If they turned their backs to him to continue focusing on the absorbed Buu, that would put them at risk of an off-guard attack. When Vegeta pulled Good Buu out, he was at least positioned in a way where he can see Buu coming.

If you mean why didn't they try to peel off the Super Buu they encountered, he wasn't in an absorption vessel, so it makes sense that he wasn't treated like the victims.


It can still be said that the hypothetical you mapped out before would warrant a comment from Goku. Goku tended to be fairly vocal later on in the saga as well, being fascinated by what Kid Buu could accomplish with solo power and ability to be unfazed by attacks that were supposed to hurt him. Bare in mind that Goku believed he could handle Kid Buu, yet still recognised the situation taking a more dangerous turn. Dragon Ball loves to place the spotlight on a new/haxed power & a higher ceiling of peril.

By the way, even post-Hercule friendship, Fat Buu was still treated as a threat.

It was only when the pure evil was purged could he be considered as under control.

Goku wanted to leave defeating Buu to the next generation. It doesn't seem as though he had plans of popping in and out of the Kaioshin Realm to Earth on a whim when the focus is on how Gotenks / Gohan are prepping to resolve things.


Goku was paying attention to Buu's power in the Sacred World of the Kai. It didn't pan to him for multiple play-by-plays, but he was following along. Unless you believe Fat Buu = the split Buu [Good Buu], then wouldn't something seem different by default?

I'd also argue that this is more of a sub-point. The main point that this stems from is integral and should be addressed in more detail. That is: manga-wise, Buu minus a strong absorption victim = lesser power. From what Goku came to understand of this, why would he believe Good Buu = Fat Buu in terms of power during the Kid Buu fight?


We're still at square one with this point. Fat Buu must be Good Buu's equivalent because Super Buu's transformation was surprising?


In Evil Buu vs Good Buu, although Good Buu was outmatched, there was no indication that his ki dropped from the attacks or that he was actually hurt (cosmetic damage aside).


It should be noted that quantitative analysis was still present in the absence of the scouter-based system through cosmological scaling, which has roots in set theory and is more universal than a PL system local to Dragon Ball.

When all is said and done, it's about what comes out in the final print. Story-wise, we saw abilities & planning being the difference-maker quite often in this arc from stronger characters being unable to convert their power advantage into a win against their rival Buu, leading to more chaos and extended survival of the Majin until the ever so convenient Spirit Bomb.

Fair enough, SF. I think we will have to agree to disagree, but I think your overall stance in the debate is more solid and you showed that. I don't agree with everything, but nice debate!

Productive debate. It's good to think about relatively lesser explored topics. Common topics have their use, since they refine/sharpen views, but this is refreshing.
