I did enjoy super Buu getting in people's heads when he was fighting Gohan and later Goku.

The part where Piccolo makes a deal for Buu to kill the remaining population of Earth, and then the Human Extinction Attack happens is legitimately cool and chilling.

Piccolo makes a bargain for millions of lives, and it doesn't even work.

It's also weirdly smart for Super Buu, but in a dumb way. If that makes sense.

I’m a bit sad the wolf bros don’t have Southern or Caijun accents in the dub.

Not saying their bad voices but I may have hoped too much there.

Well, he did calculate the population of the Earth in under a minute just by walking around the Lookout once, and then perfectly placed billions of ki blasts into billions of targets while adjusting the power per target and not even scratching anything he didn't want to.

Still not sure how he did that.

Ironically enough, Super Buu would have been a great help to Zamasu when you read [up].

I mean, he was clearly a lot more effective at killing off all of humanity quickly, considering he did it in moments whereas Goku Black needed months to do so.

Then again Zamasu wouldn't really work with a demon especially someone like Buu. I could see him learning his methods of killing although he does feel that mortals should receive judgment for their crimes.

Super Buu is 2/3 Kaioshin already. And would probably eat Zamasu before listening to him talk.

It's a shame Zamasu never encountered Fat Buu (though, in the manga's continuity at least, he knows who he is), since no one seems to acknowledge that he's essentially a flesh golem in the image of Shin's mentor and the former highest god. I don't even think Shin told Goku and co.

You do have a point. Zamasu might work with Buu or would influence him if Buu ate him. As for Buu being a flesh golem, I don't think Goku told the other characters about it or that they care at this point. I could be wrong Hercule knows about I think.

Zamasu and Zamasu were clearly enjoying themselves on a relaxing ningen safari. They may as well have been wearing pith helmets and carrying blunderbusses.

That is true. Even considering that he was trying to avoid damaging the planet, it's pretty clear that they could have easily sped up the process. They just chose not to because they are sadists.

Sadists with a cause, but still. Then again, Black completely eclipsed the only person who could think of challenging him (and used him to further increase his power) and Zamasu was completely immortal and couldn't be defeated by anyone. I can see why they felt they could take their time.

I already asked in the DBZA thread, but I still want it answered:

Oolong (in)famously wished for panties that one time, even though he didn't gather the balls, so wishes are granted based on the first person in the dragon's hearing who says "I wish".

In Porunga's case, the wish has to be in Namekian, but still.

Could you make Shenron and Porunga make wishes on each other?

For one of Porunga's wishes you wish he would make any wish on Shenron he wanted, for one of Shenron's wishes he would make a wish on Porunga.

So, Shenron grants three wishes now, for the first wish you wish that they can speak each other's language.

That is an incredibly fascinating question that we are unfortunately never gonna know the answer to.

Not only am I 100% sure Toriyama has never considered it, but I can't think of many situations (barring the actual Namek / Frieza saga) where you'd need both sets of balls, let alone gather and summon them at the same time.

Again, it's a very interesting question. I guess it depends on how you apply the can't make a wish that exceeds the power of their creator rule.

Given how the Dragons are their own unique entities with personalities and shit, I imagine they would recognize that you are trying to fuck with them and they would take the opportunity to have a conversation about something completely unrelated until you decide to ask for something not stupid.

I mean, it's not so much fucking with them as trying to be nice? They have personalities, but I don't imagine anyone ever asking them what they would wish for or what they want.

Ohhhh, I was imagining a scenario where you ask Shenron to wish on Porunga to wish someone back to life instead of just asking Shenron to do it because you're fucking with them. I wasn't imagining a scenario where you ask Shenron to wish on Porunga whatever Shenron wants.

It's interesting to think of the dragons interacting with each other, since Shenron is tiny compared to Porunga and both are quarks compared to Zalama.

Yeah, I remember them talking about how they wanted humanity to suffer absolute terror because in their eyes humans are the worst mortals of them all for creating time travel.

Porunga is stronger than Shenron, so it could make wishes on Shenron but Shenron couldn't make wishes superseding Porunga. I suppose that you could make a wish on Shenron like "I wish Porunga spoke in a language I understand", but it'd depend on whether that'd be an attempt to overpower Porunga's creator or not. Personally I think that you can't wish for a change to the rules of a stronger wish dragon

Here's a thought-what about wishing that someone can't use the Dragonballs? For example, wishing that the Dragonballs won't respond to Frieza. It wouldn't be affecting Frieza himself, so would the rules that "he's too strong to affect" wouldn't apply, would it? For that matter, could you make the wish "I wish I had an incurable poison strong enough to kill Frieza"? While the intent is to kill Frieza, the wish itself isn't trying to kill him, just create something that does. Hell, you could argue that Goku being wished back to life was a similar vein as Goku was brought back mainly to help get rid of Vegeta and Nappa, who the same Dragonballs weren't strong enough yo do directly

That doesn't make sense. Oolong wasn't as strong as Shenron when he made the panties wish.

Not sure why that's relevant. Oolong didn't wish for Shenron to do anything that would surpass his power.

Porunga is stronger than Shenron, so it could make wishes on Shenron but Shenron couldn't make wishes superseding Porunga
