Buu, stop trying to be Cell. You're just not as good as Cell, accept it!

And now for the mother of all disappointing moments. The downfall of Gohan begins here.

LOL! This AMV must be Toonami's subtle way of letting us know even they think Black Clover is generic as fuck.

[up]As a fellow Adult Gohan main in Fighter Z, this is going to be way harder to watch now than it was then.

Huh now wonder TFS rated Buu lower on the best DB villain list cause Super Buu eventually became a Cell rip-off.

[up] I didn't catch it, what do you mean?

@ Rynnec: I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed a general lack of Black Cover in that promo.

[up][up][up][up]Yeah, but we're one step closer to best fusion, so it had to happen.

I just wish it didn't happen by making smart characters dumb for no reason. Gohan should have started wailing on Buu as soon as he rematerialized.

@Rynnec: I don't know what you're talking about. Naruto Midoriya's quest to be the next King of the Pirates is completely unprecedented and totally original!

I miss Cell.

And once again, a Saiyan gives away sensitive information that they didn't need to because of an overblown ego. This time, however, it was two.

Also, I don't know what the voice director was going for with Justin Cook for Super Buu here in Kai, but this Faux!Cell voice really isn't working. Just having Super Buu sound less savage and more sophisticated like in the original Funi dub was fine as it was.

[down] There was only a few scenes from Black Cover in that mix, and it was all clumped together in a very short period of time.

We all know how badly things have been bungled (and will be), but damn if that wasn't a cool comeback by Gohan.

Any amount of Black Clover is too much.

I feel that some of the series' problems would be solved if Asta wasn't the protagonist.

Am I the only one that doesn't really hate Black Clover that much at this point? I mean, it's fun to rag on things like how it had filler for it's SECOND EPISODE, but I don't tune it out like I do Boruto's Dad. I still maintain that I like Charmy.

Buu, stop trying to be Cell. You're just not as good as Cell, accept it!

I remember a poll about that in a magazine I had when I was a teenager. It placed Cell as the most popular villain with Frieza as a close second and Majin Buu at #3.

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

It's Dragon Ball's greatest fights condensed! There was the Jackie Chun/Goku mutual kick, the Goku/Vegeta standoff in the middle of nowhere, and now the Freeza tail-strangle!

Any amount of Black Clover is too much.

Amen to that. tongue

This has been said before, but seeing how Goku reacts to Gohan's mistakes in this battle makes his stupidity throughout Super look even worse.

@ Great: (raises hand)

I don't hate it either. It's just an extremely generic shonen Cliché Storm with bad pacing, all of which, unfortunately for Black Clover, makes for a convenient punching bag.

Which is a shame. There's a lot of concepts in that series that strike me as genuinely interesting, and I actually like a few of the characters (like Noelle and Yami), but it's weighed down by the negatives. And Asta. Especially Asta.

@ Demetrios: I'm assuming that was an American poll? In Japan, Buu is actually liked much better than Cell. In fact, Cell's usually seen as the weakest villain between him, Frieza, and Buu.

The flip-flopping between art styles goes to show just how much padding the original Z show had.

I just dislike all the hype its getting.

Jump outright wants it to be the next Naruto & I genuinely believe something so mediocre has no right to be that successful or popular.
