Well, the outcome was "I had a nuclear bomb in my chest the entire time because did you really think I was stupid enough to risk the future of the world on a fist fight with you?"

I'm wholeheartedly impressed of you guessed that bit from first watch.

I haven't seen the entire fight due to patiently waiting for it eventually on Toonami but from what I saw his strategy boiled down to "Hit harder, hit faster, hit harder, hit faster, hit with more arms, hit harder, hit faster, hit harder, hit faster, oh I'm down some limbs then let me use my strongest ki attack which could lead me drained, oh your still alive its okay I've had my fun but since I can't beat you with my strength alone here have a nuke & fuck you humans rock."

Huh the entire thing is a DBZ fight only the last resort was based on technology not anything spiritual or biological.

Hah, glad I'm not the only one that thought H x H fights could be a chore to read. The GI arc fights I remember being pretty enjoyable though.

CA arc was mostly just frustrating.

The 1990's anime version was better.

The craziest thing about Buu is how he manages to out-Frieza Frieza.

The fight with Gotenks even happens on Namek time.

Can we tag these Hunter X Hunter spoilers? They're from pretty late in the series and the dub is nowhere near there either.

Was the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack not in the manga?

Ooooh geeze that was the most bullshit thing ever. Buu gets reduced to a fine mist and still comes back.

Not that much worse than coming back from smoke in his introduction.

I really hated the point of Dragon Ball where villains SHOULD have died, but managed not to because lol regeneration. Even worse, that carried over to GT, too.

At least with Zamasu it's immortality, so I can give it a pass there.

When the regeneration is established beforehand its one thing.

GT Omega's methods of surviving, on the other hand...

I do like that about Super antagonists, is that aside from Zamasu, none of them can regenerate. Beerus, Freeza, Hit, and Jiren can all be beaten just by punching them in the face hard enough, they're threats for reasons aside from just being unkillable.

I've seen it online, at least in regards to how the 90s anime did the Yorknew Arc. The Greed Island OV As were pretty bad though.

Weird, because it really just looked like his pieces were just burned and he regenerated from the smoke coming off the burnt pieces.

The difference isn't what matters there.

It was suppose to be him being turned into mist, but I'm saying that's just not what it looked like.

Like his extra burned parts still existed while he was regenerating from the smoke.

Yeah, the whole thing with Buu coming back from smoke was blatantly unfair.

I mean, Gotenks pulls it off and destroys him, and then him and Piccolo even go as far as to burn the remains (because Piccolo knew that even pieces of Buu could reform) and he just says fuck you! back from the smoke!

I remember watching that ep and being baffled at how Buu was going to keep coming since I knew how it all ended, so when that happened, I was like well shit.

This is what happens when you only have one main villain, and all other fights are just build up to when the main hero arrives to fight that villain. Anyone else stepping up to try is just an appetizer set up to fail.

It's still damned entertaining at times, but still. All that build up to fusion, only for it to amount to nothing, as is often the case with this series.

I mean, there was a ton of build-up to fusion AND Gohan getting a new power-up. The fact that both of these were things meant that one of them was bound to fail.

Of course, Toriyama COULD have just had Gotenks and Gohan beat Buu together...
