We're wondering if he literally suffered a power drop, or if he jus couldn't use his full power anymore thanks to the Kai's calming pacifism effect.

Is it safe to assume that Fat/Super Buu's lust for battle comes from the South Kai, the same way his love for food comes from the Grand Kai?

Yeah I still don't get how absorbing the most high ranking Kai would actually make him weaker. It seems to me that his influence would just make him hold back his power.

I do think when Fat Buu released the evil inside of him which created evil (skinny) buu that he suffered a power drop. As a guess

Super Buu (with Mystic Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo) Super Buu (with Gotenks and Piccolo) Super Buu (with Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo) Super Buu Fat Buu Super Buu (Southern Supreme Kai variation) Pure Buu Evil Buu Mr.Buu/Good Buu

But Fat Buu holds a lot of power back

Supposedly Buu with South Supreme Kai absorbed was stronger than Super Buu. In terms of power. It's noted when he temporarily regressed into that form while he's transforming back into Kid Buu.

I mean, Super Buu wasn't able to try to kill Hercule.

Hell, even Kid Buu wasn't until he spat Fat Buu out.

Eh good point. Southern Supreme Kai absorbed Buu should be stronger, my mistake.

Super Buu is basically Fat Buu holding less back and not an actual power-up, at least in my opinion.

So I have to ask, but was there ever a visual difference between the Instant Transmission and regular high-speed movement, or were they both the same?

Well 9 times out of 10, instant transmission required goku to that two finger pose to focus on a ki signature before popping next to it.

Aside from the finger pose, not really. In the manga IT is usually shown with Goku's entire body disappearing and only motion lines left behind, where uses of high speed movement often still show the person's body, but there are plenty of instances where either technique is drawn the way the other usually is.

... I don't get what the deal with Babadi Buu is. Is he supposed to be Pure Buu having absorbed Babadi, or does he just look like Pure Buu BECAUSE he absorbed Babadi?

I'm surprised they didn't make Broly Boo yet. He'd be pretty strong, right?

[up][up] It's Pure Buu Babadi Absorbed, which makes him a bit skinnier for some reason based on his in-game model. This is Pure Buu's second absorption after Kabitoshin Buu.

There is one thing that has always bugged me; where in God's name is Roshi getting constant power for everything electrical in his house, when he's on an island in the middle of nowhere?
