    1. Piccolo was a statue when Buu initially formed from the smoke, so him not knowing that Buu being just atoms is still enough for him to regenerate
    2. Goten and Trunks being more relaxed makes sense when you remember that they had weeks in the Chamber to goof around with each other and sort of repress the fact that their parents are dead.

      Self-Destruct attacks in Dragon Ball are usually a lot more dangerous than regular ki beams/balls. The Super Ghost Kamikaze attack somehow lets them pack all that ki into another entity, then has _that_ entity SD instead.
      A strangely genius move which takes full advantage of an in-universe rule that a couple of kids came up with before any of the adults.

    I can't help but really love this entire fight- it's very reminiscent of Toriyama's older (and newer) material from before Dragon Ball kinda accidentally became a lot more self-serious
    Like he just get's to let loose again for a bit, you know?

    • @Mrryn
      @Mrryn Před 6 měsíci +1

      I think it's fine for Toriyama to have his chance to do some gag stuff, but I honestly hate this fight for the same reason a lot of people expressed: it's just a step too far into gags, in an arc that's already full of gags and reducing characters to jokes. This one was a step too far imo, because it's literally right after Goku laid down the law with legit seriousness before literally ending his time early just to set up the kids for success as much as possible and then them getting their ass kicked by Buu when they ran off half-cocked the first time and *then* Goten literally seeing his mom killed after his big brother was already "killed" by Buu...this should have been the turning point where we hit serious mode and ride that into a finale, but instead we have this directly sandwiched between some seriously morbid stuff on the Lookout.
      It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and, frankly between this and what I call "the cucking of Shin" with how his character is reduced to the butt of the joke in every scene after his cool intro, it's the peak of my issues with the Buu saga as a whole - it has so many good moments when it stays serious (even when it goes back to comedy stuff with a certain Super Fighting Candy later), so much potential, but even more squandered by Toriyama being unleashed and, as a result imo, totally unfocused and haphazard with his handling of any sort of consistent tone.

      @@kaialone And that's cool that you and certainly others do too. And Toriyama's gag stuff is great, I love how he turns that on its head with characters like Mr. Satan or his work with Gohan as the Great Saiyaman or even the stuff in this fight out of context.
      Problem is imo in context, it's problematic. The tonal whiplash is a bit much. And as much as I like the Great Saiyaman stuff, I'm not gonna lie...that is almost certainly a big reason that Gohan failed as a standalone hero of the story. That is 100% a fumble on Toriyama's part to make that his reintroduction to the story after having the mantle passed. And then him trying to justify Goku coming back in as the hero because Gohan "wasn't cut out for the role" when he brought him back and made him a jokey character in a rom-com story that's supposed to be shonen battle manga and immediately outclassed by basically every major character including the character he was supposed to supplant...if Gohan didn't "fit the role"...well Toriyama wrote his character and story. He fit it fine the arc before as a kid, and then tossed him aside early on.
      Apologies for the rant. Just really think Toriyama dropped the ball so much with this arc and it's kind of frustrating.

    Two things I REALLY appreciate about the fight between Gotenks and Keto Kirby.
    1. The level of actual fight choreography that was incorporated. They demonstrated many different techniques, as opposed to the countless "faster than the eye can see" punches, kicks, and generic Ki blasts that we see so much of throughout the series.
    2: The old-school levels of classic Toriyama humor that we get. He was a comedy manga writer before he wrote Dragon Ball. Love to see it.

  • @kaijingarou6526

    The thing with fusions is that the most dominant personality tends to take over, in this case kid Trunks', so the result is usually a cocky arrogant warrior. You can count it as a side effect of the power boost it grants.

    I notice this trend with the longer arcs in dragonball like Frieza, Cell, and Buu.

    Having grown up watching the series, the OG/Funimation DBZ of this was torture. I know its for shits & giggles with Gotenks, but that's why I appreciate the Cell Games fights with Gohan and co, because mostly everything in that was great. The kids here are just a sideshow for when the real heroes eventually show up. The Buu arc has a lot of ups and downs. I read a long time ago that Toriyama kept trying to end the series after each saga, but they kept egging him on to keep it going, so this is what we got lol.

    This is the reason I consider the Buu saga filler. Honestly, most of the final 100 episodes are nothing but filler tacked on to the end of a good series. Abridged ended about where the series itself should have, oddly enough the Buu saga would have worked better in their format than it did in the official run of the series. After all the saga that most deserves to be a parody is the Buu Saga, although it does a decent job of being a parody of itself as is.

      To be honest, I actually liked the Buu saga a lot.. maybe even more than Namek and/or Cell. I watched the OG DragonBall back when it aired on Toonami, alongside Z, and will always stand firm on my opinion that DB is infinitely better than DBZ/GT/Super. The humor and storylines were charming, endearing, memorable, and witty and the whole show very delicately bounced around the line of "serious" and "silly" without sacrificing quality... and Z lost a lot of it when it got too serious with the fate of the world always in the balance (end of DB kinda got that way too, though the last martial arts tournament still had humorous moments, like Yamcha's unfortunate fight). Honestly, the Buu saga felt like a return back to the franchise's origins and felt like Toriyama FINALLY got to write what *he* wanted to instead of what his execs forced him to.
      Yeah, maybe the storytelling was janked to all hell and the pacing was terrible in the original run (but, hey, "five minutes" on Namek says a lot about DBZ's pacing), but Kai's version of the Buu saga honestly feels like quintessential OG DragonBall.

      The Buu Saga HAS filler, it's just that the structure of the arc is designed to account for that rather than having to stop the plot to deliver the filler like with Bulma shenanigans on Namek or the overdrawed out Goku vs Frieza battle or the three year time skip before the Androids was full of unrelated filler, but it was at least marked as such and skippable.
      So in a way I think they wanted to incorporate filler in a better way after all the problems that came before (this is one of the first animes imported to the west and going straight to tv as it was being written so there was a lot of uncharted territory), but made it worse because the filler (the tournament after the Saiyans leave, Hercule and Buu shenanigans, Gohan's power-up) is "unskippable". Thankfully it's mostly over at this point and it gets back to it from here on.
      Nowadays anime just adopts the seasonal model thankfully and avoids the problem of filler entirely

      ​@@ultrahotwings9738 DBZ still has plenty of humor. Frieza is embarrassed by his own Ginyu Force.
      The whole afterlife system with King Yama in relation to the Kais is a reoccurring joke that Goku seems to hav free reign over.
      Goku in a moment of despair, thought he got rid of Cell by "somehow" teleporting to King Kai's place wiping out everyone but the villain.
      As far as what makes a series Balanced is up to the reader. You'll never hear a definitive answer on how much humor shud be an anime compared to seriousness. What lands for one person won't apply to the next.

      @@e-roc6472Oh, absolutely, humor is subjective. To be fair, DBZ does have some humor, but it seems to be more.. compartmentalized and scattered, if that makes sense. Like, you have "funny arc" and "serious arc", where DB was more integrated between the both.
      TBH, Namek was so serious in tone for so much of the time, I actually found the Ginyus to be more of a forced weird mood whiplash than actually funny. I suppose it was Toriyama trying to insert his humor (Ginyu Force does feel like something that'd totally fit in with DB), but it just felt awkward and out of place, IMHO.
      But, yeah, that's all subjective, lol. Humor is all subjective anyway! There are people who absolutely live for mood whiplashes because of the weird schism between expectation and reality and find it totally entertaining instead of jarring the suspension of disbelief.

      @@ultrahotwings9738 I actually agree completely with the jarring nature of force blending tones. That's what made Ginyu Force so easy to bring up lol
      But even outside that I've personally gotten that feeling thru all of the db franchise. We mentioned z already but in og we have scenes where Goku is about to kill everyone as a giant oozaru then Roshi casually apologizes for blowing up the moon.
      During T.O.P we have ribrianne being well, Ribrianne the next moment Frieza brutally punishes a yardrat with death beams all while the Zenos are saying how cool it is for everyone to fight for their universe.
      So my overall reaction to tone just depends on the prior setting (scene) established. But regardless of my opinions, it is good when the creators our allowed to tell their story, not the studio's version.

    kai buu saga is terrible. at least the original funimation release had the faulkner sound track, made the shallow attempts at comedy more barrable.

    13:41 Remember, if Piccolo dies, the Dragon Balls won’t work anymore. And it’s very unlikely that Buu won’t kill Piccolo, especially after he just told him that the exit is gone now.
    Piccolo is giving up his own life in order to seal himself, Goten, Trunks, and Buu in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to save the rest of the world.
    Edit: Nevermind, I was mistaken. I forgot that Dende became the new guardian of Earth, and thus, the Dragon Balls are linked to Dende. Not Piccolo. I apologize.

      That hasn't been true since he merged with Kami back in the Cell saga. Dende is the one linked to Shenron now.
