I guess they had to escalate from Cell's regeneration abilities, but Buu just takes them to an absurd degree.

The main characters just being absolutely off the wall stupid is easily the worst part of this arc. Gotenks isn't even the worst case of this.

That and there being no real direction once Babidi's gone. It really just becomes:

1. Heroes get a power-up.
2. Heroes could kill Buu but don't./Heroes try to kill Buu but can't.
3. Buu defeats heroes and continues to kill people.
4. Return to #1.

Dead weight, just like this post.



Could you not have given Gotenks the heads up with that through your telepathy that you established to have earlier and made it outside THEN done that?

Also can't wait to see what hot bullshit they use to get out of that because it seems pretty definitive.

Yeah Buu can regenerate from anything, while Cell's regen costed him stamina and he had a core that if destroyed would prevent his regen.

It kinda feels like this whole part was in response to fan theories about using the HTC offensively, and so they just decided to shut them all down at once and be done with it.

He did give him a heads up but Gotenks ignored him. Then lied to him about being spent.

I think the most egregious thing about this show is that it doesn't even give you good fights

He just one-hits everyone he fights

So he oneshots a guy who used magic even though he has none and they're still poo poo talking him.

He literally ends a fight in one hit, completely crushes the guy.

But you still gotta have poo poo-talking, he's the underdog!

I think Asta stops one shotting everything after this because his opponents tend to be more clever.

Does anyone know if the whole Wizard King title sounds less awkward in Japanese? I don't wanna dump on the show for having similar concepts as other series, but the phrasing really does not help with that.

The direct translation is apparently "Magic Emperor," so no, it's not.

Even that sounds better than Wizard King, though there's totally something better they could have come up with. Really the word Wizard sucks in general and no one should ever be proud of being called one.
