Throughout the Dragon Ball mythos, there is no shortage of terrifying villains that threaten the lives of not only the Z-Fighters but all life in the universe – although there is one villain from Dragon Ball GT the one who stands above the rest is the scariest, despite the fact that he appears to be the complete opposite of another terrifying villain, Majin Buu.
Majin Buu is an ancient cosmic being, first controlled by the villainous sorceress Bibidi long before the events of Dragon Ball. Back then, Majin Buu was pure evil with the power to destroy gods (like the Lord of Lords) and devastate planets like it was nothing. Ultimately, the combined power of several divine entities was enough to force Buu into an eternal sleep – that is, until he was awakened by Dragon Ball Z’s sorcerer Babidi, appropriately named Majin Buu Saga. In that story, Buu demonstrated never-before-seen abilities, including targeted explosions that could kill everything on Earth with a single shot, the power to turn someone into food ( mainly chocolate) and the ability to absorb anyone and knock some out. their physical characteristics while using their full strength. In short, Majin Buu is practically unstoppable, which is actually something he shares with the villain in question in Dragon Ball GT – even though one of their abilities is completely opposite. together.
Majin Buu absorbs victims into himself, while Baby does the opposite
In Dragon Ball GT season 1, episode 24 (written by Atsushi Maekawa, directed by Osamu Kasai, produced by Toei Animation), Goku, Trunks, and Pan are taking a much-needed vacation on a planet after an encounter with scariest villain they’ve ever met: Honey. Baby is a powerful Dragon Ball GT Cyborg Mutant who recently completed his regeneration and is currently in hiding. Like Buu, Baby has extremely high power levels and can essentially become sentient goo, making him practically untouchable. In this episode, Baby is tracking the Z-Fighters of this world in a way that makes them nearly impossible to track: Baby is possessing others.
For each person Baby possesses, he steals their life force and retains a portion of their power. This process is how Baby develops his strength, with the added benefit of hiding in plain sight while hunting his enemies. Even though it’s similar to what Buu does, it’s actually the exact opposite. When Majin Buu absorbs people, he turns into loose slime and covers their entire body – he then takes on some of their aesthetic aspects while also adding their powers to their own. his strength. Baby’s process is basically the opposite of Majin Buu as he turns into goo and slides inside his victim where he sucks them in completely after controlling their body for a while, after which Baby disposes of the their drained corpses.
Both villains are based on goo, both are perhaps the most disgusting villains of their respective Dragon Ball eras, and both absorb the strength and life force of their victims . Even though they do essentially the same thing, each does it in a way that is completely opposite to the other – proving that Dragon Ball GTIts most terrifying villain is the complete opposite Majin Buu.
